Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery electrolyte additives, specifically relating to a method for preparing fluoroethylene carbonate. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion battery electrolyte additives have attracted increasing attention due to their advantages of low dosage and high efficacy, becoming a hot topic in lithium-ion battery research in recent years. Using electrolyte additives is one of the most economical and effective methods to improve lithium-ion battery performance. Generally, adding no more than 5% of the electrolyte by mass or volume can significantly improve battery performance.

[0003] Fluorinated ethylene carbonate (FEC) is currently a mainstream additive in the market, used as an important pharmaceutical and pesticide intermediate, electronic chemical, organic solvent, and lithium battery electrolyte additive. Its primary application is in electrolyte additives. FEC can partially inhibit the decomposition of electrolyte solvents, forming a good solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the electrode surface, reducing battery impedance, and improving battery specific capacity and cycle stability. It has a promising development prospect and a market share of approximately 21%.

[0004] Numerous reports have been published both domestically and internationally regarding the synthesis of FEC. Summarizing current patent literature, researchers have optimized and developed FEC production processes by selecting different fluorinating reagents, catalysts, reaction media, and reaction temperatures. Existing methods mainly include: 1. Directly fluorinating ethylene carbonate (EC) using a fluorine / nitrogen mixed gas as the fluorinating reagent, with a yield typically of 40%–60%. However, the fluorine gas used in this process is highly toxic, the operation is hazardous, the post-processing steps are cumbersome, and it is environmentally unfriendly. 2. Reacting hydrogen fluoride with chloroethylene carbonate in the presence of nitrogen-containing compounds such as triethylamine, pyridine, and aromatic amines to produce FEC, with a yield of 70%–85% and a product purity of 99.7%–99.9%. However, this method generates a large amount of crude product after water washing. Fluorine-containing wastewater is difficult to treat; moreover, it requires a large amount of organic base and a high reaction temperature. Thirdly, ethylene carbonate is first chlorinated to produce chloroethylene carbonate, and then reacted with fluorinating agents (such as potassium fluoride, sodium fluoride, barium fluoride, etc.) in a halogen substitution reaction to prepare fluoroethylene carbonate. Although this method has certain drawbacks, it remains the main process for industrial FEC production. Catalyst selection is a key factor, and currently used catalysts are mainly phase transfer catalysts, such as 18-crown-6, ionic liquids, calixarnes, and polymer-supported polyethylene glycol. However, these catalysts are difficult to separate from the product, cannot be recycled, the waste liquid is difficult to treat, causing environmental pollution and severe equipment corrosion.

[0005] Therefore, developing highly selective and high-yield processes for the preparation of fluoroethylene carbonate is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
