Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of primary batteries, specifically relating to a high-voltage, low-temperature lithium / carbon fluoride battery and its electrolyte. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium / carbon fluoride batteries, as a primary battery system, hold an irreplaceable position in fields such as implantable medical devices, aerospace, and military electronic equipment due to their ultra-high theoretical energy density (2180 Wh / kg, x=1), stable discharge voltage platform, extremely low self-discharge rate, and excellent safety.
[0003] Despite the significant theoretical advantages of lithium / carbon fluoride batteries, their practical application is constrained by two key issues: First, poor rate performance. Carbon fluoride itself is an electronic insulator, and the LiF generated during discharge is a typical ionic crystal with extremely high electrical insulation. Its irreversible deposition on the surface of the positive electrode particles forms a dense passivation layer, severely hindering electron and ion transport, leading to a sharp drop in capacity at high discharge rates. Second, voltage hysteresis and low energy efficiency. The actual operating voltage of the battery is significantly lower than the thermodynamic equilibrium voltage. This is because the chemical energy of the first electrochemical reaction in the formation of the intermediate phase is mainly converted into electrical energy, while the chemical energy of the second step, the decomposition reaction of the intermediate phase, is mainly converted into heat energy. However, the battery voltage is determined by the first electrochemical reaction.
[0004] To address these performance limitations, various technical solutions have been explored. Traditional methods primarily focus on optimizing the electrolyte system, including using low-viscosity, low-freezing-point organic solvents (such as chain ethers like DME and cyclic ethers like THF) and novel lithium salts (such as LiTFSI and LiFSI) to improve ionic conductivity. Furthermore, various functional additives, including fluorinated solvents (such as FEC) and nitrile compounds (such as SN and ADN), have been explored to form a more stable interfacial film on the electrode surface.
[0005] However, these traditional methods have significant limitations. While they can improve the ionic conductivity or interfacial stability of the electrolyte to some extent, they fail to fundamentally solve the core problem of interfacial passivation of the discharge product LiF. LiF has extremely low solubility in conventional organic electrolytes, and once formed, it continuously accumulates at the reaction interface, becoming a barrier to ion migration. Especially at low temperatures (<-40 °C), the electrolyte viscosity increases, the ion migration rate slows down, and the dissolution of LiF further slows down, leading to a sharp decline in battery performance. Existing technologies cannot effectively overcome this limitation, causing the performance of lithium / carbon fluoride batteries in low-temperature applications to fall far short of theoretical expectations.
[0006] Therefore, developing a novel electrolyte technology capable of dissolving LiF and fundamentally eliminating its interfacial passivation effect has become a key challenge in overcoming the performance bottleneck of lithium / carbon fluoride batteries. An innovative solution is urgently needed that provides an effective dissolution pathway to address the fundamental problem of LiF's low solubility leading to interfacial passivation, thereby significantly improving the battery's low-temperature performance. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-voltage, low-temperature lithium / carbon fluoride battery and its electrolyte. By adding 4-aminophenylboronic acid pinacol ester to the electrolyte, the problems of low LiF solubility leading to interface passivation effect and low voltage plateau of carbon fluoride battery are effectively solved, thereby improving the overall performance of the battery. The prepared battery has a high voltage plateau, energy density and power density at low temperature and room temperature (-60 - 25 ℃).

[0009] Furthermore, the additive used is 4-aminophenylboronic acid pinacol ester. This is because the synergistic effect of the hydrogen bonding effect of the amino group and the electron-deficient effect of boron allows the F in LiF to... - More easily attracted, achieving the effect of dissolving LiF, the para-amino group has a better conjugation effect and steric hindrance than the ortho-amino and meta-amino groups, and is the most effective in the dissolution process of LiF.
[0010] Further, the additive accounts for 0.1-2 wt% of the total mass of the electrolyte (calculated as a mass fraction of (solute mass / total solution mass) × 100%). More preferably, the additive accounts for 0.5 wt% of the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0011] Furthermore, the lithium salt is lithium tetrafluoroborate or lithium hexafluorophosphate.
[0012] Furthermore, the concentration of the lithium salt is 0.5-4 mol / L, and more preferably, the concentration of the lithium salt is 1 mol / L.

[0014] Furthermore, the electrolyte preparation method is as follows: first, the solvents are mixed evenly to form a co-solvent; then, lithium salt is added and dissolved to obtain the electrolyte; then, additives are added and dissolved evenly to obtain the electrolyte.
[0015] A second aspect of the present invention provides a high-pressure, low-temperature lithium / fluorinated carbon battery, comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and the aforementioned high-pressure, low-temperature lithium / fluorinated carbon battery electrolyte.
[0016] Furthermore, the high-pressure low-temperature lithium / carbon fluoride battery electrolyte is composed of 4-aminophenylborate pinacol ester, lithium tetrafluoroborate, propylene carbonate and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, wherein the volume ratio of propylene carbonate and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether is 1:1, the concentration of lithium tetrafluoroborate is 1 mol / L, and the mass percentage of additives is 0.5 wt%.
[0017] Furthermore, the positive electrode is obtained by dispersing fluorinated carbon positive electrode material, conductive carbon black and binder PVDF in N-methylpyrrolidone at a mass ratio of 8-9:0.5-1:0.5-1 (preferably 8:1:1), mixing thoroughly, coating on carbon-coated aluminum foil, and drying.
[0018] Furthermore, the negative electrode is made of lithium sheet or lithium strip with a thickness of 50-500 μm.
[0019] Furthermore, the diaphragm is a PE diaphragm (25 μm thick).
[0020] Furthermore, the fluorinated carbon cathode material is fluorinated carbon or fluorinated graphite.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) Based on commercial electrolytes, this invention screened additives, 4-aminophenylboronic acid pinacol ester, which can dissolve lithium fluoride through hydrogen bonding by anchoring specific groups -NH2, thereby improving the battery voltage plateau, opening ion transport channels, and thus promoting further battery discharge and accelerating Li + During interface transfer, avoid lithium fluoride buildup.
