Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium battery technology, and in particular to a method for preparing lithium difluorosulfonyl imide using sulfuryl fluoride. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, developed in the 1990s, are a new type of high-energy rechargeable battery and have become one of the most promising battery systems. They possess excellent properties such as high energy density, small size, light weight, high-rate discharge capability, low self-discharge rate, long cycle life, non-toxicity, and no memory effect, making them widely used in portable electronic products, new energy vehicles, and energy storage.

[0003] Lithium difluorosulfonylimide (Li₂F₃) is a novel electrolyte lithium salt, considered the most likely replacement for lithium hexafluorophosphate (Li₂F₃). In addition, Li₂F₃ possesses the following characteristics: compared to Li₂F₃, Li₂F₃ dissociates lithium ions more easily, resulting in higher conductivity; its decomposition temperature is above 200°C, thus exhibiting higher thermal stability and safety; it has good compatibility with electrodes, offering unique advantages in improving low-temperature discharge and high-temperature storage; and it is environmentally friendly and highly safe, possessing the basic conditions for industrialization and gradually becoming a focus of attention in the battery field.

[0004] Chinese Patent CN202211723748.5: Provides a method for preparing lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, comprising the following steps: (1) mixing chlorosulfonyl isocyanate and fluorosulfonic acid, and continuously introducing anhydrous hydrogen fluoride gas under stirring, and reacting at 25-130°C for 4-30 hours under the action of a catalyst to synthesize bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide; (2) mixing bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide with an organic solvent, adding lithium alloy, and reacting at 15-120°C for 0.5-15 hours, and obtaining lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide after filtration and vacuum distillation of the product.

[0005] Chinese Patent CN202211730109.1: Provides a method for preparing bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, a lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, and their preparation method and application. The method for preparing bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide includes: reacting sulfonyl fluoride and hexamethylsilane under an inert atmosphere to obtain an intermediate product, and performing gas-phase separation on the intermediate product to obtain bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide.

[0006] Chinese Patent CN202111101717.1: Belongs to the field of preparation of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide, specifically relating to a method for preparing lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide. The method includes the following steps: reacting bisfluorosulfonylimide with lithium phosphate in a non-aqueous solvent to obtain a reaction solution containing lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide, followed by post-treatment to obtain lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide.

[0007] The above patents and existing technologies all employ a production process that uses bis(chlorosulfonyl)imide (HClSI) as a raw material, synthesizing LiFSI through fluorination and lithiation (salt formation) reactions. The industrial synthesis processes for HClSI mainly include two methods: the aminosulfonic acid / chlorosulfonic acid method and the aminosulfonic acid / chlorosulfonyl isocyanate method; fluorinating agents mainly include hydrogen fluoride, ammonium fluoride, and potassium fluoride; lithiation agents mainly include lithium hydroxide monohydrate, lithium acetate, lithium carbonate, and lithium halides; and lithiation reaction solvents mainly include dichloromethane, ethers, and carbonates. The lithium bis(chlorosulfonyl)imide prepared by existing technologies suffers from drawbacks such as low purity, low yield, complex processes, and high costs.

[0008] Lithium difluorosulfonylimide (LiDI) exhibits excessive levels of residual metal ions, primarily non-heavy metals such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and lead. Methods for removing these residual metal ions include using adsorbents such as diatomaceous earth or zeolite powder, and adding cation exchange resins during the preparation process. However, while these methods are effective at removing metal ions, they suffer from drawbacks such as poor removal efficiency, increased metal ion residue, and a tendency to cause excessive acid values. While thionyl chloride can remove water from LiDI, it also introduces difficult-to-remove SO3. 2- The presence of ions increases the difficulty of subsequent purification of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide. Therefore, further improvements are needed in the purification of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide. Summary of the Invention
