Problems solved by technology

However, due to the low solubility of nitrate in carbonate electrolytes, it can only be used in ether electrolytes, and the oxidation cut-off voltage of ether electrolytes is low, which cannot be matched with high-voltage cathode materials, thus limiting Its application in metal lithium batteries with high energy density

Abstract

The invention provides a carbonic ester electrolyte which comprises lithium salt, nitrate, a cosolvent and a solvent, wherein the cosolvent comprises crown ether and derivatives thereof, the molecular structure of the cosolvent has holes, and a ratio of the diameter D1 of cations in the nitrate to the diameter D2 of the holes in the cosolvent is 0.7-1.3. The cosolvent in the electrolyte provided by the invention is helpful for improving the solubility of nitrate, and can be combined with cations in the nitrate to form a stable coordination compound, so that the coulombic efficiency of the metal lithium battery is improved. The invention further provides a metal lithium battery prepared from the carbonic ester electrolyte.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium metal secondary batteries, in particular to a carbonate electrolyte and a lithium metal battery. Background technique [0002] The lithium metal anode has a high theoretical specific capacity (3860mAh g -1 ) and low electrode potential (-3.04 V), and thus has great development potential as an ideal anode for metal-ion batteries with the highest theoretical energy density. However, lithium metal anodes are prone to form lithium dendrites during charging and discharging, leading to battery short circuits, and surface solid electrolyte interface (SEI) ruptures will lead to problems such as electrolyte consumption and decreased Coulombic efficiency. [0003] Generally, additives (such as nitrate) can be added to the electrolyte to mediate the lithium ion deposition behavior, improve the lithium ion conductivity of SEI, improve the physical and chemical properties of SEI, and inhibit the gro...
