Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of materials, in particular to a multifunctional lithium battery additive containing fluorine and boron elements and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lithium batteries have the highest energy density among all commercial batteries at present, and are widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage, medical electronics, unmanned aerial vehicles and other fields. In recent years, the development of various industries has put forward higher requirements for the battery life, energy density, rate performance and safety.
[0003] The electrolyte in lithium batteries plays a crucial role and is the carrier of ion transmission in the battery, which guarantees the advantages of high safety, high voltage, high rate, high specific energy, low cost and the like of lithium ion batteries. However, it is difficult for traditional non-aqueous liquid electrolytes and solid-state electrolytes to simultaneously achieve the construction of a good solid-state electrolyte interface (SEI), high stability, high ionic conductivity and good wettability, and therefore the use of electrolyte additives is considered to be the most feasible, economical and effective method to assist in improving the comprehensive performance of the electrolyte.
[0004] In order to improve the cycle life of the battery, Huang Ling et al. developed a kind of polymer as an electrolyte additive added to the ester electrolyte to avoid the occurrence of continuous side reactions, make the lithium deposition more uniform, slow down the generation of lithium dendrites, and realize the long-term stable cycle of the battery with lithium metal as the negative electrode. Lai Dingkun et al. developed a kind of bispyridine sulfonate as an electrolyte additive for non-aqueous lithium ion batteries. This additive acts on the negative electrode to form a SEI film with better performance, and at the same time inhibits the decomposition of the organic solvent of the electrolyte on the electrode, effectively protecting the electrode material, thus improving the cycle performance and high-temperature performance of the battery. In order to improve the rate performance and power density of the battery, Wan Guangcong et al. developed a kind of ethylene sulfate cyclic carbonate as an electrolyte additive. This additive has a multi-carbonate structure, so the SEI structure formed is more uniform and has smaller impedance than that of vinyl carbonate (VC), which can effectively reduce the direct current resistance of the battery and improve the working performance of the battery under large current conditions.
[0005] Although the above research ideas can improve some performance of lithium batteries under certain specific conditions, they cannot comprehensively improve the energy efficiency, cycle life and rate performance of the battery, and some additives are expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously explore and research, and develop electrolyte additives that can comprehensively improve the performance of the battery, are inexpensive and can be applied to large-scale production.

Then, weigh a certain amount of fluoroborate BF3 and add it to the prepared electrolyte to obtain 1M LiPF6 / EC-DMC electrolyte containing 0.005 mol / L fluoroborate additive. At the same time, the same electrolyte without fluoroborate additive is used as a comparative electrolyte.
[0044] 2. The battery is assembled in an argon-protected glove box.

As shown in Figure 2A , 2B , the cycle test of the example and the comparative battery was carried out at different rates, and the test temperature was 25 degrees Celsius, and the results are shown in Figure 2A ,2B The discharge curves of the batteries without additive at different rates are shown in the figure. Among them, Figure 2A The discharge curves of the batteries with the multifunctional additive containing fluorine boride provided in Example 2 of the present application at different rates are shown in the figure. The test results show that the battery containing 0.01 mol / L fluorine boride complex has higher coulombic efficiency, longer cycle life, and releases higher specific capacity at high rate, showing excellent rate performance. Figure 2B The discharge curves of the batteries without additive at different rates are shown in the figure. Among them,

[0163] Example 20
[0164] In this embodiment, fluoroborate BF3 is used as a polyimide solid-state electrolyte additive to improve battery performance.
[0165] 1. First, 0.5 grams of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), a certain amount of fluoroborate BF3 powder and 5 milliliters of acetonitrile solvent are weighed into the same container and ultrasonically dispersed for at least 15 minutes. Then 10 grams of polyimide (PI) purchased from Sigma is dissolved in the dispersed solution, and stirred for 6 hours, wherein the oxygen-lithium ratio of the PI polymer and lithium salt is maintained at 20:1. The uniformly stirred solution is coated on the surface of a silicon substrate, dried at 50°C, and prepared into a fluoroborate BF3 additive-containing polyimide solid-state electrolyte sheet with a thickness of 60 μm and a porosity of 10%.
[0166] 2. The battery is assembled in an argon glove box. The specific battery uses a CR2032 button cell structure, in which lithium sheet is used as the negative electrode, lithium cobaltate is used as the positive electrode, and the fluoroborate BF3 additive-containing and non-fluoroborate BF3 additive-containing solid-state electrolyte prepared in step 1 is used to complete the assembly of the battery.
[0167] 3. The assembled battery is tested on a blue light test system. The battery is cycled at a rate of 0.5C, and the test temperature is 50°C. The results show that the battery with fluoroborate BF3 additive has a stable cycle efficiency of more than 90% and can be cycled for more than 150 weeks, while the battery without fluoroborate BF3 additive can only be maintained for 10 weeks.
[0168] 4. After the battery is disassembled, the positive and negative electrode surfaces are observed by Hitachi S8600 scanning electron microscope. It is found that the aluminum current collector of the battery containing inorganic fluoroborate Cu(BF4)2 additive is further passivated, the contact resistance is reduced, and the stability of the electrode active material after cycling is also significantly improved.
[0169] 5. The impedance spectrum of the battery containing fluorine boride BF3 additive and the battery without fluorine boride BF3 additive is tested by using the impedance spectrum tester of Zahner IM6 type, and the result shows that the impedance of the battery with the additive is obviously lower than that of the battery without the additive. It is illustrated that the wettability of the electrode and the solubility of the lithium salt are improved, thereby improving the electrode kinetics.
