Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and in particular relates to a high-voltage electrolyte and a lithium ion battery containing the high-voltage electrolyte. Background Art

[0002] The rapid development of electrochemical energy storage has led to the increasing use of lithium-ion batteries in scalable energy storage devices, particularly as a power source for new energy vehicles. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the performance requirements for lithium-ion batteries are gradually increasing. The pursuit of higher energy density, higher safety, and higher stability systems is the current development direction of lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] Improving the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries is one of the more common solutions in the industry. Without affecting the overall performance and safety of the battery, especially when considering high-voltage and high-stability applications, by introducing fluorine into the solvent, the lithium-ion battery can ensure stable operation at high voltage.

[0004] However, the current fluorinated compounds used as organic solvents in high-voltage electrolyte solutions mostly adopt a fully fluorinated structure. In the formation of the solvated structure, there is no strong electron-withdrawing effect, and the inorganic component is reduced in the subsequent SEI formation process. In addition, the oxidative stability of the overall structure is still insufficient, making it impossible for lithium-ion batteries to operate stably at higher voltages. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a high-voltage electrolyte in the present invention. Starting from the design of the electrolyte solvent, the high-voltage electrolyte introduces a fluorinated dioxetane derivative into the solvent. The fluorinated dioxetane derivative has a fully fluorinated and / or partially fluorinated structure, and utilizes a strong electron-withdrawing effect to form a SEI film rich in LiF inorganic components to ensure the stability of the electrode material; the partially fluorinated -CHF2 has a local dipole, which can ensure the interaction between molecules. At the same time, the fluorinated dioxetane derivative of the present invention has high oxidative stability, which can ensure the safe and stable operation of the lithium-ion battery at a higher voltage.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] In a further embodiment, R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group -CF3 or -CHF2; preferably, R1 and R2 contain at least one group -CHF2.

[0014]

[0015] Wherein, R1 and R2 are independently selected from one or more of the group -CF3, -CHF2, halogen elements, -H, -CH3, and -OH.

[0016] In a further embodiment, R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group -CF3 or -CHF2; preferably, R1 and R2 contain at least one group -CHF2.

[0017] In a further embodiment, the fluorodioxane derivative has a structure shown in Formula 1, Formula 2 or Formula 3:

[0018]

[0019] In a further embodiment, the lithium salt is selected from at least one of LiPF6, LiDFOB, LiCF3SO3, LiBETI, LiBF4, LiClO4, LiBOB, LiTFSI, and LiFSI.

[0020] In a further embodiment, the additive is selected from at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium nitrate, 2-fluoropyridine, ethoxy (pentafluoro) cyclotriphosphazene, vinyl sulfate, vinylene carbonate, and fluoroethylene carbonate.

[0021] In a further embodiment, based on the total mass of the high-voltage electrolyte, the molar ratio of the lithium salt to the organic solvent is 0.5:1-1:1, and the mass fraction of the additive is 0.5-10%.

[0022] The present invention further provides a lithium-ion battery comprising a positive electrode containing a cathode active material, a negative electrode containing an anode active material, a separator, and an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte is the high-voltage electrolyte described above;

[0023] Preferably, the cathode active material is selected from at least one of a lithiated transition metal phosphate having an olivine structure, a lithium ion embedded transition metal oxide having a layered structure, and a lithiated transition metal mixed oxide having a spinel structure;

[0024] Preferably, the anode active material is selected from at least one of carbonaceous materials, titanium oxide, silicon, lithium or lithium alloys.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] The present invention proposes to use fluorinated dioxane derivatives as lithium ion battery electrolyte solvents. The structure of the fluorinated dioxane derivatives has a strong electron-withdrawing effect. In the formation of the solvation structure, an AGG-type solvation structure can be formed to form an inorganic component-rich SEI, which can improve the oxidation stability of the battery. In addition, the partially fluorinated -CHF2 has a dipole, which can ensure the interaction of molecules and enhance the Li + The solvation capacity of the electrolyte is excellent, showing high ionic conductivity, cycling performance and oxidation stability. In the detection of the electrolyte's own properties, this electrolyte shows high oxidation stability and conductivity.

[0132]

[0133] Performance Testing

[0134] (1) The lithium ion batteries 1-3 prepared in Examples 1-3 were subjected to LSV tests respectively.

[0135] The LSV test is a linear sweep voltammetry method that detects the voltage stability range of the electrolyte. This LSV test uses a glassy carbon electrode as the working electrode, a platinum wire as the counter electrode, and an Ag / AgCl electrode as the reference electrode. The scanning range is 0-5.5V and the scanning rate is 0.1mV / s. The results are as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0136] from Figure 1 From the LSV data, it can be seen that the fully fluorinated dioxane derivative (-CF3) exhibits lower oxidation stability with a stable voltage of 4.7 V, while the partially fluorinated dioxane derivative (-CHF2) exhibits a higher oxidation potential (5.1 V).

[0137] (2) Lithium-ion battery cycle performance test

[0138] The lithium ion batteries of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3 after being filled were placed in a 25℃ normal temperature laboratory and connected with a charge-discharge tester, first charged to 4.8V at a constant current and constant voltage of 1C current, and the cutoff current was set to 0.01C; after 10min, discharged to 3.0V at a constant current of 1C, and the cycle charge-discharge test was carried out in this way, and the discharge capacity of each cycle was recorded, and the capacity retention rate of the lithium ion battery at the 100th week, the 200th week and the 300th week was calculated, wherein the cycle capacity retention rate of the lithium ion battery at the Nth week (%) = the discharge capacity at the Nth week / the discharge capacity at the first cycle x 100%, and the related comparison data are shown in Table 2.

[0139] Table 2: Performance test of lithium ion battery

[0140]

[0141] From the capacity retention rate comparison of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the organic solvent formed by the fluorodioxane derivative in the application has good stability at high voltage. Compared with Comparative Example 3 in which the cyclohexane structure is fully fluorinated, the fluorodioxane derivative in the application has a partial fluorination of -CHF2, which can fully ensure the interaction between molecules and form a high inorganic component SEI; and compared with the partially fluorinated organic solvent in Comparative Example 2, the fluorodioxane derivative in the application is more stable and can maintain long cycle stability at high voltage.

[0142] In the field, increasing the cutoff voltage plays a crucial role in improving the energy density of lithium ion batteries, therefore, the high-voltage electrolyte provided herein can provide a new idea for the design of high-energy-density lithium ion battery systems.

[0143] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner, and to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictions, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
