Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a polymer solid electrolyte, a lithium ion battery and a preparation method, and belongs to the technical field of batteries. Background Art

[0002] Among commercial secondary batteries, lithium-ion batteries have the highest energy density. However, the theoretical specific capacity of lithium-ion batteries based on the "deintercalation" theory is currently less than 300 mA hg -1 , the actual energy density is less than 200Whkg -1 , which is far from meeting people's demand for electric vehicles to have a range of 500km. Therefore, it is urgent to develop electrode materials with high theoretical specific capacity. Among the new electrode materials, there are many materials with high theoretical specific capacity, such as lithium metal anode (3600mA hg -1 )、Silicon anode (4200mAh g -1 )、sulfur cathode (1672mA hg -1 )wait.

[0003] However, among the electrode materials that have been developed to be relatively mature or new electrode materials, there are many materials that have volume changes during the charging and discharging process. For example: the volume change rate of graphite before and after charging and discharging is 10-20%, the unit cell volume of the high nickel system will shrink by 5%-10% during the delithiation process, the volume change rate of the sulfur positive electrode before and after charging and discharging is 79%, and the lithium negative electrode inevitably has volume changes due to its deposition and dissolution charging and discharging mechanism. The volume change rate of the silicon-based negative electrode before and after charging and discharging is even as high as 400%. On the one hand, a volume change of more than 50% during the charging process will cause the particles of the active material to fall off the electrode, lose electrical connection with the electrode, and thus cause the loss of active material; on the other hand, it will destroy the SEI or CEI in the electrode, causing repeated side reactions and continuous consumption of electrolyte and active Li + . This will eventually cause the battery polarization to increase and the capacity to decay.

[0004] Using low-fluidity solid electrolytes to transfer the construction location of SEI or CEI in the electrode from the particle surface to the electrode / electrolyte interface can effectively avoid the continuous occurrence of side reactions in the electrode. Compared with other types of solid electrolytes, in-situ polymerized polymer solid electrolytes have better physical contact with the electrode, which is conducive to ion conduction at the interface. In addition, the flexibility of polymer electrolytes can better adapt to the volume changes of the electrode. 1,3-Dioxolane (DOL) is a commonly used ether solvent that can be initiated by proton acid and polymerized in situ to prepare polymer solid electrolytes. However, in the existing poly-DOL strategy, due to the uncontrollable rapid ring-opening polymerization of DOL, it leads to excessive polymerization and poor solubility of lithium salts, which will affect the ion transport in the electrolyte. Summary of the invention

[0005] The in-situ polymerized high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte protected by the present invention has the following advantages: 1. For electrodes whose active materials are powders, the polymer solid electrolyte transfers the site for constructing SEI / CEI from the surface of the particles to the electrode / electrolyte interface, thereby avoiding its change with the volume change of the particles and reducing its breakage; 2. The in-situ polymerization preparation method ensures good ion transport at the electrode / electrolyte interface; 3. By adding appropriate additives (inhibitors) to regulate the speed of DOL ring-opening polymerization, high-concentration lithium salt dissolution is achieved; 4. The high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte changes the Li + The solvation structure of the evolved SEI / CEI increases the content of inorganic components, thereby enhancing the mechanical strength of SEI / CEI and improving its stability; 5. The higher lithium salt concentration in the high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte ensures the rapid transmission of lithium ions in the electrolyte. Therefore, the lithium-ion battery prepared using the high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte has good cycle stability and rate performance.

[0041] As a specific implementation, the present application is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0042] An in-situ polymerized high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte comprises a polymer electrolyte, a high-concentration lithium salt, a suitable additive or / and an initiator. The high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte is prepared by in-situ polymerization of an organic solvent in a battery initiated by lithium salt or an initiator.

[0043] When an initiator is used for initiation, the initiator is Al(OTf) 3 , polysulfide, and the polymerization reaction proceeds directly at room temperature without the need for additional initiation conditions.

[0044] The additive is LiNO 3 One or more substances that can slow down the polymerization reaction, such as LiTFSI, are used to slow down the rate of DOL ring-opening polymerization.

[0045] In the present application, the lithium-ion battery uses an in-situ polymerization method to prepare a high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte.

[0046] The specific preparation process is as follows: prepare a precursor solution of a high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte, soak the diaphragm in the precursor solution for 2 to 60 seconds, preferably 5 to 30 seconds, and then assemble it into a battery for in-situ polymerization to obtain a lithium-ion battery using a high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte. The polymerization time is 10 minutes to 12 hours.

[0047] The present invention relates to an in-situ polymerized high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte and a lithium ion battery containing the electrolyte.

[0069] The present application is described in detail below with reference to embodiments, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0070] Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials in the examples of this application were purchased through commercial channels.

[0071] This application uses a nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrometer (NMR, AVANCE III 400MHz, Switzerland) to measure and analyze the state of different electrolyte / electrolyte solvent molecules. The specific process of sample preparation is as follows: 400 μL of liquid sample is placed in a nuclear magnetic resonance tube, deuterated chloroform (CDCl 3 ) After dissolving the test sample, the H NMR spectrum was collected.

[0072] X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed using ESCALAB250xi, Thermo Fisher.

[0073] The battery cycle and rate performance are tested using a Blue Electric charge and discharge instrument.

[0074] The microstructure of the electrode after cycling was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM, model: JSM-7800F, QUANTA200FEG).

[0075] Example 1

[0076] 6M LiFSI, small molecule 1,3-dioxolane and 2wt% LiNO 3The precursor solution was mixed and the separator was immersed in the precursor solution for 10 seconds, and then assembled into the battery for in-situ polymerization to obtain a lithium-ion battery using a high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte, and the polymerization time was 30 minutes.

[0077] Preparation of Si negative electrode: 0.05g of aqueous binder sodium alginate (SA) was dissolved in 4.5g of deionized water, stirred for 0.5h, then 0.1g of Super P and 0.35g of silicon particles (size 100-300nm) were added and stirred for 5h, then coated on copper foil, the scraper was adjusted to 120μm, and then placed in a 60℃ oven for drying for 8h. The obtained electrode was cut into small discs with a diameter of 10mm and weighed, then vacuum dried at 60℃ for 2h as a negative electrode sheet (the loading of single active material was 1mg cm -2 ).

[0078] Battery assembly process: The battery is assembled in a glove box filled with argon gas with a water and oxygen content of less than 0.01ppm. The battery is assembled in the order of negative electrode shell, electrode sheet, electrolyte + diaphragm or solid electrolyte, electrode sheet, and positive electrode shell. If non-in-situ polymerization is used, the diaphragm soaked in the precursor solution is placed on a polytetrafluoroethylene plate for polymerization for 30 minutes, and the battery is assembled after obtaining the solid electrolyte.

[0079] Among them, the formula of the electrolyte / electrolyte used in the precursor solution (high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte) and the polymerization process are shown in Table 1 below. The battery assembly of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 is carried out according to the formula and polymerization process shown in Table 1.

[0080] Table 1: Solution / electrolyte formulation and polymerization process

[0081]

[0082] Figure 1 By comparing DOL+LiNO 3 , Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 3 and Example 1, the states of different electrolyte / electrolyte systems can be intuitively observed ( Figure 1 ). Comparative Example 1 is a uniform liquid electrolyte, Comparative Example 3 is an inhomogeneous and rapidly polymerized solid electrolyte, and Example 1 is a uniform and controllable polymerized high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte. (Controllable polymerization).

[0083] Figure 2 By comparing the NMR spectra of DOL, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 3, Example 1 and Example 2, the state of the organic solvent in different electrolyte / electrolyte systems can be determined ( Figure 2In comparative example 1, DOL is a small molecule solvent, in comparative example 3, DOL small molecule ring-opening polymerization is formed into poly-DOL, and in examples 1 and 2, poly-DOL and small molecule DOL coexist. (Electrolyte state).

[0084] Figure 3 The DFT theoretical calculations show that LiNO 3 Mechanism of preventing DOL ring-opening polymerization ( Figure 3 The initiator usually reacts with trace water in the electrolyte to generate proton acid to attack the DOL ring opening and further polymerize. 3 - It has a higher binding energy with proton acid, thus stabilizing proton acid to prevent ring-opening polymerization. Therefore, additives (inhibitors) are the key to increasing the salt concentration in the electrolyte system. At the same time, by dissolving the lithium salt in Example 4 and uniformly polymerizing DOL ( Figure 4 ), and the inhibition effect of LiTFSI was also confirmed. (Inhibition mechanism and dissolution of high concentration lithium salt).

[0085] Figure 5 By comparing the solvation structures in different electrolyte / electrolyte systems in Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 3 and Example 1, it can be found that Li + In the dissolved structure, salt anions dominate, while in the liquid electrolyte, solvent molecules dominate ( Figure 5 ). This means that in the process of high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte decomposition to form SEI, more lithium salt decomposes into inorganic components in SEI, so the proportion of inorganic components in the obtained SEI is much higher than that of SEI generated by liquid electrolyte decomposition. This conclusion is consistent with the results of XPS ( Figure 6 ), the proportion of inorganic components in the SEI formed by using high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte is significantly higher than that of polymer solid and liquid electrolytes using low-concentration salt. (Advantages of high-concentration lithium salt).

[0086] Therefore, the rate performance and cycle performance of the battery assembled using Example 1 are greatly improved compared with those of Comparative Examples 1 and 3 ( Figure 7 ). Example 1 still shows 2200 mAh g after 100 cycles at 0.2C. -1 The reversible specific capacity is much higher than that of comparative example 1 (900 mAh g -1 ) and Comparative Example 3 (0 mAh g -1 ). Compared with Comparative Example 1 and Example 1, Comparative Example 3 with poor ion conductivity showed higher polarization. In contrast, the higher lithium salt concentration in Example 1 ensured good ion transport in the electrolyte, resulting in less polarization. Therefore, the discharge capacity of Example 1 at 2C was 1765 mAh g -1, compared with Comparative Example 3 (15 mAh g -1 ) has obvious advantages compared with the

[0087] As for the battery in Comparative Example 2, since pressure is required to maintain direct interface contact between electrolyte particles and between electrolyte and electrode during the test of inorganic solid electrolyte, the battery assembled using button cells cannot be tested for electrochemical performance. This fully demonstrates that polymer electrolytes are simpler to operate and have lower testing requirements than inorganic solid electrolytes.

[0088] Similarly, in the lithium-sulfur battery system, after 50 cycles, the capacity retention rate of Example 5 is much higher than that of Comparative Example 5 ( Figure 8 ). The above results further illustrate that the high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte strategy is applicable to different solvents and different battery systems.

[0089] like Figure 7 and 9 As shown, through Fig. 9 Embodiment 2 in Figure 7 Comparison of the cycle performance of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 ( Figure 7 and Fig. 9 ) It can be seen that the cycle stability of the in-situ polymerized high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolyte with 2M LiFSI is significantly improved compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 3. By comparing the performance of Example 2 with that of Example 1, the content of lithium salt in the electrolyte can be further optimized.

[0090] like Fig.10 As shown, by comparing the electrochemical impedance spectra of Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that the impedance values ​​of the same electrolyte through two different means of in-situ and non-in-situ polymerization are significantly different. The interface contact of the electrode / electrolyte using the in-situ polymerization method is closer, so the ion transport is good, so the impedance of the battery is smaller than that of the battery using non-in-situ polymerization. The above results fully illustrate that the preparation method through in-situ polymerization ensures good ion transport at the electrode / electrolyte interface.

[0091] like Fig.11 and 12 As shown, the surface and cross-sectional morphologies of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 after cycling were observed by SEM ( Fig.11 , 12). It can be seen that due to the repeated crushing and reformation of SEI, the electrode using liquid electrolyte is occupied by SEI and almost no Si particles can be seen. This is the main reason for the increase in battery polarization and capacity decay. Comparing the surface morphology of Comparative Example 3 and Example 1, it can be found that due to the low content of lithium salt in Comparative Example 3, the content of inorganic components in the generated SEI is low, resulting in poor mechanical properties of SEI, so many cracks are generated during the cycle, while the high mechanical strength SEI in Example 1 remains stable during the cycle.

[0092] like Fig.13 As shown, the change of electrode thickness before and after the cycle of Example 3 and Example 4 ( Fig.13 ), it can be found that the electrode thickness changes of Example 3 and Example 4 before and after the cycle are very small, indicating that few side reactions occur in the electrode, confirming that the in-situ polymerization of high-concentration salt polymer solid electrolytes prepared by adjusting the salt concentration, changing the initiation mode, and changing the inhibitor strategy are feasible.

[0093] The above are only a few embodiments of the present application and do not constitute any form of limitation to the present application. Although the present application is disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any technician familiar with the profession, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application, using the technical content disclosed above to make slight changes or modifications are equivalent to equivalent implementation cases and fall within the scope of the technical solution.
