Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of application number "2021116740415" entitled "A high-voltage additive and electrolyte for lithium batteries". Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of materials technology, and in particular to a compound additive for lithium battery electrolytes. Background Technology

[0003] As a new type of energy source, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in various fields since their invention due to their advantages such as no memory effect, rapid charging and discharging, high energy density, long cycle life, and no environmental pollution. Today, with the increasing demands on lithium-ion battery capacity from pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and portable energy storage devices, there is a growing expectation to develop lithium-ion batteries with higher energy and power densities to achieve longer driving range and energy storage.

[0004] Developing high-energy-density lithium batteries can be achieved by increasing the battery's operating voltage, allowing the positive and negative electrode materials to achieve higher specific capacities, thereby improving the mass and volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Simultaneously, it can reduce the cost of lithium batteries, making it a hot research topic in recent years. However, in the process of researching high-voltage lithium batteries, it has been found that as the operating voltage of lithium-ion batteries increases, traditional lithium battery electrolytes not only undergo self-oxidation and decomposition but also undergo irreversible chemical reactions with the positive electrode material, continuously consuming active lithium. This leads to increased battery impedance, low capacity retention, performance degradation, and a significant shortening of battery life. Therefore, developing electrolyte technologies specifically suited for high-voltage lithium batteries has become crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a compound additive for lithium battery electrolytes, which can form a uniform, dense, and stable positive electrode-electrolyte interface (CE I) film on the surface of the positive electrode material of lithium batteries, thereby improving the cycle performance and storage performance of lithium batteries.

[0011] Preferably, the lithium salt electrolyte comprises one or more of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium hexafluoroarsenate, lithium perchlorate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium difluorophosphate, lithium bis(oxalato)borate, lithium difluorooxalato)borate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylimide), or lithium bis(fluorosulfonylimide).

[0012] Preferably, the organic solvent includes any one or more of the following: ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, methyl ethyl carbonate, methyl propyl carbonate, 1,4-butyrolactone, methyl formate, ethyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, butyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, and their halogenated derivatives.

[0013] Preferably, the auxiliary additives include one or more of the following: cyclic carbonate compounds, linear ester compounds containing unsaturated bonds, cyclic sulfate compounds, cyclic sulfonate compounds, silazane compounds, sulfonate amine salt compounds, phenylborane compounds, silanized phosphate compounds, cyclic carboxylate borate compounds, nitrile compounds, or sulfone compounds.

[0014] Preferably, the cyclic carbonate compounds, linear ester compounds containing unsaturated bonds, cyclic sulfate compounds, cyclic sulfonate compounds, silazane compounds, sulfonate ammonium salt compounds, phenylborane compounds, silicic phosphate compounds, cyclic carboxylate borate compounds, nitrile compounds, or sulfone compounds may also be substituted with fluorine-containing substituents.

[0020] The silicon-containing phosphate compounds include tris(trimethylsilane) phosphate and tris(trimethylsilane) phosphite;

[0030] The high-voltage additive for lithium batteries provided in this invention is a polyphosphate compound containing polysubstituted sulfonyl and polysubstituted alkyl groups. In this structure, due to the influence of the polysubstituted groups on the sulfonyl functional groups, they are easily oxidized and decomposed under high voltage, forming some sulfur-containing inorganic compounds. Simultaneously, the polysubstituted alkyl groups are also oxidized, forming a uniform and dense CEI film on the surface of the cathode material with the sulfur-containing compounds. This CEI film contains phosphorus and sulfur, or halogens, has stable composition, and good mechanical properties, and can fully coat the surface of the cathode material, thereby inhibiting the breakage of cathode material particles under high voltage.

[0031] Under high voltage, a large number of phosphate ester functional groups can complex transition metal ions dissolved from the surface of the positive electrode material, thereby preventing highly oxidizing transition metal ions from entering the electrolyte and reaching the negative electrode material, reducing the continuous oxidation of the electrolyte and the damage to the negative electrode material.

[0032] This high-voltage additive modifies the electrode / electrolyte interface through multifunctional group interactions, preventing direct contact between the positive electrode material surface and the electrolyte, thereby reducing electrolyte oxidative decomposition. The resulting CEI film has stable composition and will not dissolve or regrow during battery charge-discharge cycles, improving CEI film uniformity, reducing CEI film thickness, lowering battery impedance, and minimizing polarization. Furthermore, this high-voltage additive can also form a composite negative electrode solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film together with auxiliary additives at the negative electrode, improving the stability of the negative electrode SEI film and enhancing the electrochemical performance of lithium batteries under high-voltage conditions.

The auxiliary additives can form a composite SEI film at the negative electrode together with high-voltage additives, improving the stability of the negative electrode SEI film and enhancing the electrochemical performance of the lithium battery under high-voltage conditions.
