Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of polymer electrolytes for lithium - ion batteries, in particular to the preparation of a carbonate - based polymer electrolyte with a wide electrochemical window and its application in solid - state lithium - ion batteries, belonging to the technical field of lithium - ion batteries. Background Art

[0002] Lithium - ion batteries are increasingly widely used in electric vehicles and energy storage devices due to their advantages such as high energy density, fast charging, and convenient portability. Currently, most commercial batteries use conventional organic liquid electrolytes, such as ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, etc. However, the safety defects of organic electrolytes, such as high chemical activity, volatility, flammability, and explosiveness, seriously hinder the further popularization and application of lithium - ion batteries. In addition, when using metallic lithium as the negative electrode, during the operation of a liquid battery, with the continuous insertion and extraction of lithium ions, lithium dendrites will be formed on the surface of metallic lithium. The formation of lithium dendrites not only causes dead lithium areas and reduces the comprehensive performance of the battery, but also pierces the separator, causing battery short - circuit and even safety accidents such as fires, severely limiting the development and application of high - energy - density lithium - metal batteries. Therefore, the development of lithium - ion polymer electrolytes to replace traditional liquid electrolytes has epoch - making significance for the development of high - energy - density lithium - metal batteries. For the defects of inorganic solid electrolytes, such as complex preparation processes, poor mechanical properties, and interfacial compatibility, polymer electrolytes have been widely recognized due to their good compatibility with lithium metal, high thermal stability, simple preparation process, good flexibility, and adjustable shape and size. An ideal polymer electrolyte should have the following advantages: 1. Ion conductivity close to that of liquid electrolytes; 2. Good compatibility with electrodes; 3. A wide electrochemical window; 4. Simple preparation process. However, so far, it is difficult for polymer electrolytes to simultaneously meet the above advantages.

[0003] In 1973, Wright et al. reported that poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) has ion - conducting functions, kicking off the research on polymer electrolytes. In 1979, it was confirmed and proposed by Armand to be used as the electrolyte material for solid - state batteries, which made the research on polymer electrolytes enter a new stage of development. However, due to the high crystallinity of PEO - based polymer electrolytes, they have low ion conductivity (the room - temperature conductivity of PEO is about 10 -7 Scm -1 ) and a relatively low electrochemical stability window at room temperature, and thus cannot be widely used and promoted. By physically modifying PEO (blending, adding plasticizers) and chemically modifying it (grafting modification), the ion conductivity of PEO can be improved to a certain extent (up to 10 -5 ~10 -4 S cm -1), but there are still problems of low electrochemical window and interfacial issues. Therefore, novel polymer electrolytes containing strongly polar carbonate groups [-O-(C=O)-O-] have attracted extensive attention from researchers. Patent No. CN105591154A provides a polycarbonate-based all-solid polymer electrolyte with an ionic conductivity of 2×10 -5 S cm -1 ~1×10 -3 S cm -1 at room temperature and an electrochemical window greater than 4V. Patent No. CN109802174A discloses a polycarbonate-based polymer electrolyte with an ionic conductivity > 10 -3 S cm -1 at room temperature, but its electrochemical window is only 4.7V and it cannot be applied to high-voltage cathode materials such as LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O4. These two carbonate-based polymer electrolytes have high ionic conductivity and good interfacial stability, but their electrochemical windows are low (<4.7V) and they are not suitable for application in high-voltage cathode material systems such as LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O4.

[0004] To address the above problems, we have developed a carbonate-based polymer electrolyte with a wide electrochemical window. By selecting ethylene carbonate, a catalyst, a conductive lithium salt, a porous support material, and a solvent, and through ring-opening polymerization of cyclic carbonates, a carbonate-based polymer electrolyte with a wide electrochemical window is prepared. Ring-opening polymerization eliminates the weak links in cyclic carbonates, and at the same time, an addition reaction occurs to the C=C double bond, forming a three-dimensional network structure, which improves the electrochemical stability window, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the polymer electrolyte. The preparation process of this polymer electrolyte is simple and easy to control, and it has excellent mechanical properties; its ionic conductivity > 10 -3 S cm -1 at room temperature, and its electrochemical window > 4.95V (vs. Li + / Li), which has great innovation and practicality for the application of high-voltage cathode materials.
