This invention belongs to the field of
lithium-
ion battery technology, and relates to a
flame-retardant gel
electrolyte, its preparation method, and a
lithium-
ion battery containing the
electrolyte. The
flame-retardant gel
electrolyte is a gel structure in which a cross-linked gel network encapsulates a basic electrolyte. It has an
ionic conductivity ≥0.50 mS / cm, a self-extinguishing time ≤2s, a
thermal runaway temperature ≤1000℃, and a
mass retention rate ≥40% after
thermal runaway. This
flame-retardant gel electrolyte achieves excellent flame-retardant performance through its cross-linked gel
network structure. The self-extinguishing time ≤2s can quickly prevent
flame spread, and the
thermal runaway temperature ≤1000℃ and
mass retention rate ≥40% after thermal runaway significantly improve battery
thermal safety. Simultaneously, the high
ionic conductivity ≥0.50 mS / cm ensures smooth
ion migration during charging and discharging, reduces battery polarization, and improves charging and discharging efficiency and cycle stability.
