Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrolyte materials, and particularly relates to a nitrile functional group-containing material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of battery electrolytes, nitrile additives (such as hexanetricarbonitrile and glutaronitrile) have high oxidation potentials (typically above 4.5V vs. Li⁺ / Li), significantly improving electrolyte stability at high voltages and inhibiting solvent decomposition. Furthermore, nitrile additives can form a stable cathode interface film (CEI) on the positive electrode surface, preventing the dissolution of transition metal ions (such as Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺) and reducing electrolyte corrosion on the positive electrode. Sulfate and borate electrolyte additives (such as vinyl sulfate (DTD), propylene sulfate (DPS), dimethyl sulfate (DMS), and lithium difluorooxalatoborate (LiODFB)) offer unique performance advantages in lithium-ion batteries, significantly improving cycle stability, safety, and interfacial properties. Phosphate compounds, as electrolyte additives, can enhance the battery's flame retardancy, film-forming ability, and electrochemical stability.

The surface density range is 350-450g / cm 2 (double-sided); Preparation of the battery negative electrode: Using deionized water as the solvent, evenly disperse 1% by mass of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to obtain a mixed solution. Then, add 2% by mass of conductive carbon black SP and 96% by mass of negative electrode active material (specifically, vapor-deposited silicon carbon, material model SH-S02) and mix them evenly. Finally, add 1% by mass of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and mix them evenly. After mixing evenly, use a coating machine to evenly coat the mixture on copper foil, dry it, roll it, and cut it into negative electrode sheets. The surface density range of the negative electrode sheets is 200-350g / cm. 2 (double-sided); Therefore, the following soft-pack batteries were obtained by assembling the electrolytes containing the products provided in Examples 6-10 and Comparative Examples 6-9 respectively, with the amount of electrolyte used in each soft-pack battery being 25 g. The following performance comparison tests were then performed on the soft-pack batteries: Three groups of soft-pack batteries corresponding to Examples 6-10 and Comparative Examples 6-9 were prepared. Each group was cycled for 200 cycles at 25°C, 45°C, and 55°C. The charge and discharge conditions used in each cycle test were: a charge and discharge rate of 1C / 1C and a voltage range of 4.4V-4.8V. The measured lithium-ion battery capacity retention rate is shown in Table 3 below:
