Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery technology, and particularly relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte and a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional carbonate electrolytes have a narrow electrochemical window, typically below 4.3V. As the voltage increases, solvent decomposition occurs, and more importantly, the solvent reacts with the high-voltage cathode, causing the transition metals in the ternary material to dissolve and generating large amounts of gas. This significantly reduces battery capacity and can even compromise battery safety. For ternary cathodes, Ni, Co, and Mn have oxidation states of +2, +3, and +4, respectively. During charging, lithium ions are extracted from the cathode, causing Ni to change from +2 to +3 or even +4. Simultaneously, the cathode reacts with the electrolyte to form a solid electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer. The CEI layer protects the cathode (similar to the SEI film on the anode), hindering further reactions between the cathode and electrolyte and improving the cathode's stability under delithiation conditions. However, the formation of the CEI film also causes increased battery impedance, rate decay, capacity decay, and gas generation. Therefore, optimizing the electrolyte composition to form the optimal cathode CEI film is crucial.

[0003] Positive electrode film-forming additives are an important component of electrolytes. Although their addition amount is often only about 1% by mass, they can significantly improve certain aspects of battery performance. Therefore, it is the most economical and easily industrialized method. In high-voltage electrolyte positive electrode film formation, boron-containing lithium salt additives such as LiBOB and LiDFOB are frequently used in commercial high-voltage electrolyte formulations. Their film-forming mechanism with the positive electrode is as follows: the additive oxidizes and forms stable acyl radicals. These radicals recombine at the oxide-electrolyte interface to generate difluoroborane dimers. These difluoroborane dimers form strong B-O bonds with oxygen on the positive electrode surface, thereby passivating the positive electrode and preventing electrolyte oxidation. However, these boron-containing salts contain oxalic acid groups, which easily generate gas during formation and cycling, leading to performance degradation at high temperatures.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an electrolyte that can withstand high voltages in ternary lithium batteries, so as to achieve excellent performance of lithium-ion batteries and solve the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte in which special additives are used to passivate the positive electrode and prevent the electrolyte from oxidizing and decomposing, which is beneficial to improving the high-voltage cycle performance of ternary high-voltage batteries.

[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that uses the aforementioned electrolyte. This lithium-ion battery exhibits good cycle performance, low-temperature performance, and high-temperature performance at a high voltage of 4.4V.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising a lithium salt, a non-aqueous organic solvent, and an additive, wherein the additive is a compound represented by structural formula 1:

[0008]

[0010] Compared with the prior art, in the non-aqueous electrolyte of the present invention, the additive adopts the compound shown in structural formula 1. The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring of the additive can form a stable interfacial film at the interface through ring-opening polymerization. This film has a good lithium-ion conduction channel, which is beneficial to improving the cycle and high-temperature performance of ternary high-voltage batteries. Moreover, this structure contains a fluorinated boron salt structure. In this type of structure, fluorinated boronane forms a strong B-O bond with oxygen on the positive electrode surface, thereby passivating the positive electrode and preventing electrolyte oxidation and decomposition, which is beneficial to improving the high-voltage cycle performance of ternary high-voltage batteries. At the same time, this type of structure can form a low-impedance SEI film at the negative electrode, reducing the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode, thereby further improving the low-temperature performance of ternary high-voltage lithium-ion batteries.

[0011] Wherein, C1 to C6 alkyl means alkyl or silane with 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The alkyl can be a chain alkyl or a cycloalkyl.

[0040] The lithium-ion batteries prepared in Examples 1-8 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to room temperature cycling test, high temperature cycling test, high temperature storage test, and low temperature discharge test under the following test conditions. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0041] ambient temperature cycling test :

[0042] Under normal temperature (25℃) conditions, the lithium-ion battery is charged and discharged once at 1.0C / 1.0C (battery discharge capacity is C0), with an upper limit voltage of 4.4V. Then, it is charged and discharged for 500 cycles at 1.0C / 1.0C under normal temperature conditions (battery discharge capacity is C1).

[0043] Capacity retention rate = (C1 / C0) * 100%

[0044] High temperature cycling test :

[0045] Under high temperature (45℃) conditions, the lithium-ion battery is charged and discharged once at 1.0C / 1.0C (battery discharge capacity is C0), with an upper limit voltage of 4.4V, and then charged and discharged for 300 cycles at 1.0C / 1.0C under normal temperature conditions (battery discharge capacity is C1).

[0046] Capacity retention rate = (C1 / C0) * 100%

[0047] High-temperature storage test :

[0048] Under normal temperature (25℃) conditions, the lithium-ion battery was subjected to one 0.3C / 0.3C charge and discharge cycle (the battery discharge capacity is recorded as C0), with an upper limit voltage of 4.4V; the battery was placed in a 60℃ oven for 15 days, then removed and placed in a 25℃ environment for 0.3C discharge, with the discharge capacity recorded as C1; then the lithium-ion battery was subjected to one 0.3C / 0.3C charge and discharge cycle (the battery discharge capacity is recorded as C2);

[0049] Capacity retention rate = (C1 / C0) * 100%

[0050] Capacity recovery rate = (C2 / C0) * 100%

[0051] Low temperature discharge test :

[0052] At room temperature (25℃), a lithium-ion battery was subjected to a single 0.3C / 0.3C charge and discharge cycle (the battery discharge capacity is recorded as C0), with an upper limit voltage of 4.4V. The battery was then placed in a -20℃ oven for 4 hours, followed by a 0.3C discharge, with the discharge capacity recorded as C1 and a cutoff voltage of 3.0V.

[0053] Capacity retention rate = (C1 / C0) * 100%

[0054] Table 2. Performance test results of lithium-ion batteries in the examples and comparative examples.

[0055]

[0056] As shown in Table 2, the electrolyte of Comparative Example 1, which does not use the additives of this invention, exhibits unsatisfactory high-temperature storage performance, high-temperature cycling performance, and low-temperature discharge performance. In contrast, the lithium-ion batteries prepared with the electrolytes of Examples 1-8 demonstrate excellent high-temperature storage performance, cycling performance, and low-temperature discharge performance. This is because the electrolyte additives utilize compounds shown in Structural Formula 1, which can form a stable interfacial film at the interface through ring-opening polymerization of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic rings. This film provides excellent lithium-ion conduction channels, which is beneficial for improving the cycling and high-temperature performance of ternary high-voltage batteries. Furthermore, this structure contains a fluoroboron salt structure, in which fluoroborane forms a strong B-O bond with oxygen on the positive electrode surface, thereby passivating the positive electrode and preventing electrolyte oxidative decomposition, which is beneficial for improving the high-voltage cycling performance of ternary high-voltage batteries. Simultaneously, this structure can form a low-impedance SEI film at the negative electrode, reducing the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode, thereby further improving the low-temperature performance of ternary high-voltage lithium-ion batteries.

[0057] A comparison of Examples 1-4 reveals that, compared to Compounds 3 and 4, Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit thicker films due to the enhanced positive and negative electrode film-forming polymerization via double bonds. Therefore, their high-temperature cycling and high-temperature storage performance are significantly improved, but their low-temperature discharge performance is noticeably worse.

[0058] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 4-6, the overall performance of Compound 5 is significantly better than that of Compound 4 and Compound 6. This is because, compared with sodium ions and lithium ions, CS cesium ions can form an electrostatic protective layer on the surface of the negative electrode active material, reduce or inhibit the formation of dendrites, and improve the room temperature and high temperature cycle performance and low temperature discharge performance of the battery cell. Its overall performance is significantly better than that of lithium ions and sodium ions.

[0059] As can be seen from the comparison between Examples 7 and 8 and Example 1, the optimal dosage of compound 4 is around 1%. When the content is low, the film is relatively thin, which is not conducive to the overall performance. When the content is high, the overall performance is slightly reduced due to the excessive film impedance.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
