Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium battery technology, specifically to an electrolyte-separator composite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of 5G communication technology and new energy vehicles, the demand for electrochemical energy storage devices is growing rapidly. However, current lithium-ion rechargeable batteries have essentially reached their energy limits due to the limitations of graphite anodes. Furthermore, commercially available electrolytes are prone to safety issues such as leakage, fire, and explosion, making it difficult to meet the application requirements of high-power and large-scale energy-consuming devices. Therefore, the research and development of battery systems with high energy density, long lifespan, and high safety is urgently needed.

[0003] Lithium metal anodes, with their extremely high energy density and lowest reduction potential, have become important anode materials, while ternary cathodes (especially LiNi)... 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O2 (NCM811) possesses high specific capacity and high charge / discharge potential, and its raw materials are widely available and have low production costs, making it the mainstream system for high-voltage electrodes. Combining lithium metal anodes with ternary cathodes holds promise for the development of high-energy-density storage batteries. However, the application of commercial electrolytes to lithium metal anodes can cause lithium dendrite growth and the formation of "dead lithium." Lithium dendrites piercing the separator can lead to short circuits and safety accidents, while "dead lithium" causes rapid capacity decay.

[0004] Therefore, in order to realize the development and application of lithium metal anodes and ternary cathodes, it is necessary to prepare a new electrolyte system with high safety, high lithium conductivity and effective suppression of lithium dendrite growth. Summary of the Invention

[0060] 1) Mix 1,4-bis(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzene and 4,4′-biphenyl ether dianhydride at a molar ratio of 1:1, react at 30°C for 5 h, and then heat to 185°C for 18 h to obtain fluorinated polyimide, which is then electrospun to obtain a fluorinated polyimide porous membrane.

[0068] Comparative Example 1:

[0069] An electrolyte-diaphragm composite material, the preparation method of which includes the following steps:

[0070] 1) Lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether were mixed at a molar ratio of 1:1 and stirred at room temperature for 36 hours at a speed of 250 r / min to obtain an ionic liquid.

[0071] 2) The commercial polyolefin separator Celgard2500 (circular, 1.2 cm in diameter and 25 μm thick) was fully impregnated with 20 μL of the ionic liquid from step 1) to obtain the electrolyte-separator composite material.

[0072] Comparative Example 2:

[0073] An electrolyte-diaphragm composite material, the preparation method of which includes the following steps:

[0074] 1) Lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether were mixed at a molar ratio of 1:1 and stirred at 40°C for 24 hours with a stirrer speed of 200 r / min to obtain an ionic liquid.

[0075] 2) The commercial polyolefin separator Celgard2500 (circular, 1.2 cm in diameter and 25 μm thick) was fully impregnated with 20 μL of the ionic liquid from step 1) to obtain the electrolyte-separator composite material.

[0076] Performance testing:

[0077] 1) Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material of Example 1 is shown below. Figure 2 (In the figure, a and b represent different magnifications) as shown.

[0078] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the carrier fluorinated polyimide porous membrane in the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material of Example 1 is composed of interpenetrating nanofibers with a diameter of 200nm to 900nm. This structure helps to improve the affinity for ionic liquids and also helps to suppress the growth of lithium dendrites.

[0079] Furthermore, the same tests revealed that the microstructure of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite materials in Examples 2-4 was highly similar to that of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material in Example 1. The carrier fluorinated polyimide porous membrane in the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material was composed of interpenetrating nanofibers with a diameter of 80 nm to 900 nm.

[0080] 2) Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material in Example 1 are as follows: Figure 3 As shown (Test conditions: nitrogen atmosphere, test temperature range: room temperature to 600℃, heating rate: 10℃ / min).

[0081] Depend on Figure 3It can be seen that the 5wt% thermal weight loss temperature of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material in Example 1 reaches 194℃, which is higher than the decomposition temperature of commercial electrolytes (170℃~185℃). Furthermore, the glass transition temperature of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material in Example 1 is above 240℃, while commercial polyolefin diaphragms soften, shrink, and fail at 120℃. Therefore, the electrolyte-diaphragm system in Example 1 exhibits excellent thermal stability and safety.

[0082] Furthermore, the same tests revealed that the thermal stability of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite materials in Examples 2-4 was very close to that of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material in Example 1.

[0083] 3) Raman spectra of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite materials of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are as follows: Figure 4 As shown (Test conditions: laser emitter wavelength 785nm, scanning range 100cm) -1 ~1300cm -1 ).

[0084] Depend on Figure 4 It can be known that:

[0085] a) Regarding the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material of Example 1, at 742.8 cm⁻¹ -1 and 870cm -1 The structures at these locations correspond to the free anion TFSI- and the cation complex [Li(G3)], respectively. + The peak indicates, on the one hand, the successful preparation of the ionic liquid and its structural stability in fluorinated polyimide nanofiber membranes; on the other hand, TFSI - The absorption peak shifts to a lower wavenumber, indicating that there is a certain interaction between the fluorinated polyimide and the anion, demonstrating the feasibility of the overall design approach.

[0086] b) Regarding the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material of Comparative Example 1, at 743.3 cm... -1 and 870cm -1 The respective locations exhibit the corresponding free anion TFSI - Cation complex structure [Li(G3)] + The signal indicates that the solvated ionic liquid still maintains a stable complexed cation structure in the Celgard 2500 membrane, while the anion TFSI - The absorption peak wavenumber is higher than that of the anion TFSI in Example 1. - The characteristic absorption peaks indicate that there is an interaction between fluorinated polyimide and anions, which increases the distance between anions and complexed cations and increases the number of free anions.

[0087] 4) The electrolyte-membrane composite material from Example 1 was assembled into a 2025 coin cell by placing it between a stainless steel sheet (working electrode) and a lithium metal sheet (reference electrode). The electrochemical stability of the electrolyte-membrane composite material was then tested using linear voltammetry (LSV). The potential scan range was 2V to 6V, and the scan rate was 1mV / s. The obtained LSV curve is shown below. Figure 5 As shown.

[0088] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that the electrolyte-membrane composite material of Example 1 has high electrochemical stability, and its oxidation decomposition potential can reach 4.5V, which can meet the practical application of high-voltage batteries.

[0089] Furthermore, the same tests revealed that the oxidative decomposition potential of the electrolyte-membrane composite materials in Examples 2-4 was close to that of the electrolyte-membrane composite material in Example 1, indicating that they could also meet the practical application requirements of high-voltage batteries.

[0090] 5) The electrolyte-separator composite materials of Examples 1, 2, Comparative Example 1, and 2 were placed between two lithium metal sheets and then packaged in a 2032 button cell to form a lithium-lithium symmetric battery. The ionic conductivity as a function of temperature was then tested using a Chenhua electrochemical workstation. The obtained ionic conductivity-temperature relationship curves are shown below. Figure 6 As shown.

[0091] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the ionic conductivity increases with increasing temperature. At 30℃, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte-diaphragm composite materials of Examples 1, 2, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are 0.39 mS / cm, 0.62 mS / cm, 0.24 mS / cm and 0.38 mS / cm, respectively; at 100℃, they are 1.80 mS / cm, 2.33 mS / cm, 1.17 mS / cm and 1.91 mS / cm, respectively. This indicates that the electrolyte-diaphragm composite materials of Examples 1 and 2 have good thermal stability and high ionic conductivity (reaching 10 mS / cm) over a wide temperature range. -4 S / cm~10 -3 The electrolyte-membrane composite material of Comparative Example 1 showed lower ionic conductivity at both 30°C and 100°C than that of Example 1. The electrolyte-membrane composite material of Comparative Example 2 also showed lower ionic conductivity at both 30°C and 100°C than that of Example 2. This is because the commercially available diaphragm Celgard 2500 has a lower liquid absorption rate, which also indicates that the fluorinated polyimide porous membrane has better hydrophilicity and higher ionic conductivity.

[0092] Furthermore, the same test revealed that the electrolyte-diaphragm composite material of Example 3 had an ionic conductivity of 0.31 mS / cm at 30°C, exceeding 10. -4 The conductivity is on the order of S / cm, which also meets the application requirements of lithium batteries at room temperature. The electrolyte-separator composite material of Example 4 has an ionic conductivity of 0.52 mS / cm at 30°C, which is slightly lower than that of the electrolyte-separator composite material of Example 2, but still meets the application requirements of lithium batteries at room temperature.

[0093] 6) The electrolyte-separator composite material of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was placed between two lithium metal sheets and then packaged in a 2032 type button cell to form a lithium-lithium symmetric battery. The battery was then tested using a Blue Battery testing system at 30°C and 0.5 mA / cm². 2 A constant current cycle test was performed on the lithium-lithium symmetric battery at a current density, with each cycle consisting of 1 hour of charge-discharge. The voltage-time relationship curves obtained are shown below. Figure 7 As shown.

[0094] Depend on Figure 7 It can be known that:

[0095] a) The lithium-lithium symmetric battery assembled with the electrolyte-separator composite material in Example 1 exhibited a stable potential curve and low overpotential in each constant current cycle. This indicates that the concentration polarization phenomenon in the system is low at this current density, allowing lithium ions to be deposited more uniformly on the surface of the lithium metal electrode. It also indicates that the system forms a stable SEI interface with the lithium metal, and its bulk and interfacial resistance remain essentially unchanged during lithium ion deposition. Furthermore, the lithium-lithium symmetric battery assembled with the electrolyte-separator composite material in Example 1 did not experience a sudden voltage drop to approximately 0V (short circuit) during more than 1500 hours of constant current cycling, demonstrating that the electrolyte-separator composite material in Example 1 has excellent ability to suppress lithium dendrite growth and can meet the application requirements of long-term cycling of lithium metal batteries.

[0096] b) The lithium-lithium symmetric battery assembled with the electrolyte-membrane composite material of Comparative Example 1 showed significant fluctuations after constant current cycling for more than 400 hours. After constant current cycling for more than 480 hours, the potential suddenly decreased, indicating that lithium dendrites had grown rapidly to penetrate the membrane, thus causing a short circuit in the battery. It can be seen that the electrolyte-membrane composite material of Comparative Example 1 is inferior to the electrolyte-membrane composite material of Example 1 in terms of interface stability of lithium metal and lithium dendrite suppression ability. This further highlights the performance advantages of the ionic liquid-fluorinated polyimide porous membrane system.

[0097] 7) NCM811 was used as the positive electrode of the battery (active material loading of approximately 1 mg / cm³). 2The positive electrode has a mass ratio of NCM811:binder:conductive carbon black = 8:1:1. Lithium metal is used as the negative electrode, and the electrolyte-separator composite material from Example 1 is used as both the separator and electrolyte. A high-voltage lithium metal battery, Li / NCM811, is assembled. Charge-discharge cycle tests are then conducted at 30°C and within a voltage range of 3.0V to 4.3V. The discharge capacity and coulombic efficiency at different rates are shown below. Figure 8 As shown.

[0098] Depend on Figure 8 It can be seen that the high-voltage lithium metal battery assembled with electrolyte-separator composite material in Example 1 has high cycle capacity and retention rate at different rates, exhibiting excellent rate stability, with an average coulombic efficiency higher than 99.0%. Its average capacity and average coulombic efficiency at 1C high rate are 150.2 mAh / g and 99.7%, respectively.

[0099] Furthermore, the same tests revealed that the high-voltage lithium metal batteries assembled from the electrolyte-separator composite materials in Examples 2-4 also exhibited high capacity and excellent rate stability.
