Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a solid electrolyte composition and preparation method for lithium metal secondary batteries, specifically a method for preparing a polymer solid electrolyte for lithium metal secondary batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in transportation, energy storage, and 3C digital products due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge rate. Graphite remains the primary anode material in commercially available lithium-ion batteries. However, its relatively low theoretical specific capacity (372 mAh / g) makes it difficult to continue meeting the demand for high-energy rechargeable batteries. Among the various anodes currently being studied, lithium metal anodes possess the highest theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh / g) and the lowest electrode potential (-3.04 V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode). Compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries using lithium metal as the anode can achieve three to five times higher energy density. The use of lithium metal as the anode is of great significance for the development of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.

[0003] Due to the high reactivity of lithium metal, using commercially available electrolytes as the electrolyte layer easily promotes the reaction between lithium metal and the electrolyte, leading to the formation of an unstable solid-state electrolyte interface (SEI) and lithium dendrites. Furthermore, the formation of lithium dendrites can penetrate the separator, causing short circuits in the battery. Therefore, using a stable electrolyte is an effective solution. When using a polymer electrolyte instead of a commercially available liquid electrolyte, not only can the growth of lithium dendrites be effectively suppressed, but a more stable SEI layer can also be formed. To improve the energy density of lithium metal batteries, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (LiMC) ternary materials are commonly used as cathode materials. However, due to the high voltage of LiMC ternary materials, the development of high-voltage resistant polymer electrolytes is urgent. Cyano and fluorine groups are typical electron-withdrawing groups; therefore, fluoropolymers and cyanopolymers typically have high oxidation resistance and thus hold promise for matching LiMC ternary cathodes.

[0004] Cyanoacrylate molecules contain two electron-withdrawing groups, namely a cyano group and an ester group, which makes them highly activated and capable of efficient polymerization. Therefore, cyanoacrylates are characterized by easy polymerization, rapid polymerization, room-temperature polymerization, and catalyst-free polymerization. It is well known that cyanoacrylate monomers can readily undergo anionic polymerization, even under the initiation of small amounts of weak bases, such as water, alcohols, and ammonia. *Applied Materials & Interfaces* reported a poly(ethyl cyanoacrylate) gel electrolyte, using poly(ethyl cyanoacrylate) as the polymer, a commercially available electrolyte as the liquid component, and water from the air as the initiator. The study also demonstrated that the addition of poly(ethyl cyanoacrylate) significantly improves the electrochemical stability window and enhances its electrochemical performance (ACS Appli. Mater. Interfaces 7 (2015) 4720-4727). Meanwhile, the *Chinese Journal of Electrochemistry* reported a method using ethyl cyanoacrylate as a binder and coating agent for the positive electrode material, demonstrating that ethyl cyanoacrylate exhibits good high-voltage stability (Electrochim. Acta 236(2017)221-227). *Materials Chemistry* reported a method using lithium metal to catalyze the polymerization of ethyl cyanoacrylate to prepare an artificial solid electrolyte protective layer, similarly demonstrating the stability of ethyl cyanoacrylate (Chem. Mater. 29(2017)4682-4689). However, all the ethyl cyanoacrylates reported above are used as gel electrolytes, which have lower safety compared to solid electrolytes. This is mainly due to the rapid polymerization of ethyl cyanoacrylate, making it difficult to prepare solid electrolytes. If the polymerization rate of ethyl cyanoacrylate can be reduced, then solid electrolytes can be prepared. *Polymer* reported that acidified methanol (a mixture of methanol and hydrochloric acid) can act as an inhibitor of ethyl cyanoacrylate. Meanwhile, it can undergo free radical polymerization with methyl methacrylate (Polymer 50 (2009) 1270-1280). However, the presence of hydrochloric acid readily reacts with lithium metal, making acidified methanol unsuitable for use in lithium batteries. Therefore, finding a mild inhibitor is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a polymer solid electrolyte for lithium metal secondary batteries. Cyanoacrylate undergoes free radical polymerization under the action of an inhibitor and an initiator to form polycyanoacrylate. Simultaneously, under the action of an inhibitor, cyanoacrylate undergoes free radical polymerization with other monomers in an initiator to form a polycyanoacrylate copolymer. This method facilitates its application in practical production. Polycyanoacrylate and its copolymer exhibit good antioxidant properties, effectively matching high-voltage cathode materials. Furthermore, the polymer possesses good mechanical properties and adhesion, thus effectively inhibiting lithium dendrite growth and improving interfacial stability. The solid electrolyte provided by this invention utilizes widely available raw materials, has a simple and easy preparation process, is environmentally friendly, suitable for large-scale production, and can be applied to lithium metal secondary batteries.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A solid electrolyte composition for lithium metal secondary batteries; the composition and content are as follows:

[0008] The mass of succinic anion is 1000 parts;

[0009] The weight of boron-free lithium salt is 0-10000 parts;

[0010] The boron-containing lithium salt has a mass of 1-10,000 parts;

[0011] The mass of cyanoacrylate is 100-10000 parts;

[0012] The mass of acrylate is 0-10000 parts;

[0013] The mass of azobisisobutyronitrile is 1-5000 parts.

[0014] The boron-containing lithium salt monomer is lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium difluorooxalate borate, or lithium dioxalate borate.

[0015] The boron-free lithium salt is lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, lithium perchlorate, lithium hexafluoroarsenate, lithium hexafluorophosphate, or lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide.

[0016] The cyanoacrylate monomers are: methyl 2-cyanoacrylate, ethyl cyanoacrylate, octyl α-cyanoacrylate, or isopropyl 2-cyanoacrylate.

[0017] The acrylate monomers are: methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, octyl acrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl acrylate; and isopropyl methacrylate.

[0018] The acrylate monomers include all acrylate monomers containing CH2-CH2-O, -CN, -CF, or -OH groups; acrylate monomers containing CH2-CH2-O groups include poly(ethylene glycol) ethyl ether methacrylate, 2-methoxyethyl acrylate, ethyl allyl propionate, or 2-methyl-2-acrylate-2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl ester; acrylate monomers containing -CN groups include 2-ethyl cyanoacrylate or 1,2-isopropylglycerol 2-cyanoacrylate; acrylate monomers containing -CF groups include 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acrylate, hexafluorobutyl methacrylate, perfluorobutyl acrylate, or heptafluorobutyl acrylate; acrylate monomers containing -OH groups include 3-hydroxypropyl acrylate or 2,3-dihydroxypropyl acrylate.

[0019] The method for preparing a solid electrolyte for a lithium metal secondary battery using the composition of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0020] 1) Under an inert atmosphere, succinic anion, boron-free lithium salt, and boron-containing lithium salt are first mixed together and heated at 30-100℃ to dissolve and form...

[0021] 1) To form a eutectic solvent, cyanoacrylate, acrylate, and azobisisobutyronitrile are added to the eutectic solvent and stirred to form a mixed solution; 2) Under an inert atmosphere, the glass fiber filter membrane is immersed in the solution prepared in step 1), and then cured by heating on a heating stage.

[0022] The heating temperature is 50-100℃, and the heating time is 0.5-14h.

[0023] The inert atmosphere includes nitrogen, argon, or helium.

[0024] The solid electrolyte for lithium metal secondary batteries prepared by this invention is suitable for use in CR2032 coin cells, cylindrical cells, and pouch cells.

[0025] This invention provides a solid electrolyte composition and a method for preparing a solid electrolyte for lithium metal secondary batteries. The preferred chemical composition of the polymer solid electrolyte for lithium metal secondary batteries is as follows:

[0026] (1) A eutectic solvent is formed by mixing succinic acid and boron-containing lithium salt, and cyanoacrylate is used as the polymer body after polymerization;

[0027] (2) A eutectic solvent is formed by mixing succinic acid, boron-free lithium salt and boron-containing lithium salt, and cyanoacrylate is used as the polymer body after polymerization;

[0028] (3) A eutectic solvent is formed by mixing succinic acid and boron-containing lithium salt, and a copolymer is formed by polymerizing cyanoacrylate and comonomer acrylate.

[0029] (4) A eutectic solvent is formed by mixing succinate, boron-free lithium salt and boron-containing lithium salt, and a copolymer is formed by polymerizing cyanoacrylate and copolymer monomer acrylate.

[0030] Lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium difluorooxalate borate, and lithium bis(oxalate borate) borate are all inhibitors of anionic polymerization of cyanoacrylates, while simultaneously undergoing free radical polymerization under the action of azobisisobutyronitrile.

[0031] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are mainly reflected in:

[0032] The boron-containing lithium salts (difluorooxalatoborate, tetrafluorooxalatoborate, and lithium bis(oxalatoborate)) provided by this invention can all act as inhibitors of cyanoacrylate, effectively suppressing the anionic polymerization of cyanoacrylate. Simultaneously, they can undergo free radical polymerization in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). The eutectic solvent formed by AIBN and boron-free lithium salts effectively improves the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. However, boron-free lithium salts alone (such as lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylimide)) do not inhibit the anionic polymerization of cyanoacrylate. Due to the presence of cyano groups, the polymerized product of cyanoacrylate exhibits a high electrochemical stability window. Furthermore, introducing other copolymers, such as acrylates and carbonates, can further improve the ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability window of the material. It is noteworthy that although AIBN and lithium salts form a solvent when mixed, both AIBN and lithium salts are solids at room temperature; therefore, the electrolyte prepared from the polymer and eutectic solution is generally considered a solid electrolyte, not a gel electrolyte. The solid electrolyte provided by this invention has widely available raw materials, a simple preparation process, low cost, is environmentally friendly, and suitable for large-scale production. It can be applied to lithium metal secondary batteries. Attached Figure Description
