TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and relates to a semi-solid battery and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The semi-solid battery is a battery with a semi-solid gel state of electrolyte, and is considered as one of the most promising power sources for next-generation electric vehicles and energy storage products due to its high energy density, high safety and long service life. The semi-solid battery cathode material refers to the cathode material in the semi-solid battery, which directly affects the performance and service life of the battery. Currently, commonly used semi-solid battery cathode materials include lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium iron phosphate and nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary cathode materials.
[0003] In recent years, organic cathode materials have attracted widespread attention due to their rich carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements, renewable, green, low cost and high capacity. Among them, the conductive polymer in the organic cathode material refers to a polymer with a highly π-π conjugated polymer chain. The conductive polymer polypyrrole is applied in supercapacitors, modified electrodes of photochemical cells and electrode materials of storage batteries due to its excellent charge transport property, reversible electrochemical redox property, simple preparation, environmental friendliness and mechanical flexibility.
[0004] The common classification of polypyrrole includes: 1. Polypyrrole derivatives: In order to improve the conductivity and stability of polypyrrole, various polypyrrole derivatives are synthesized and studied in the prior art. These derivatives include doped polypyrrole, functionalized polypyrrole and the like. By introducing different functional groups or dopants into the structure of polypyrrole, the conductivity and electrochemical behavior thereof can be controlled, and the application range of pyrrole materials is expanded; 2. Polypyrrole nanofiber: In recent years, polypyrrole nanofiber has been successfully prepared by electrospinning and other methods in the prior art; 3. Pyrrole conjugated polymer: In addition to polypyrrole, common pyrrole conjugated polymers include polycarbazole, polybenzocarbazole and the like; 4. Pyrrole carbon material: By carbonization and graphitization, pyrrole materials can be converted into carbon materials with high specific surface area and excellent conductivity, such as pyrrole graphene and pyrrole carbon nanotube.
[0005] However, polypyrrole materials also have the following disadvantages: 1. Capacity attenuation: Pyrrole-based cathode materials may have capacity attenuation problems during long-term use, and their cycle life needs to be further improved; 2. Safety consideration: Since pyrrole-based cathode materials are usually organic materials, they may have safety hazards under extreme conditions such as high temperature, overcharge and overdischarge, and more stringent safety measures and management are needed; 3. Greater solubility in organic electrolyte: Since pyrrole-based cathode materials have not been stably developed in liquid lithium ion batteries, they have not been directly used as single cathode materials in semi-solid batteries.
[0006] Based on the above research, it is necessary to provide a semi-solid battery which can overcome the problems of poor electrolyte fluidity and low conductivity of the semi-solid battery electrolyte, and high specific capacity, good rate performance and super-long cycle stability of the semi-solid battery.

[0128] The electrochemical performance of the semi-solid-state batteries obtained in the above examples and comparative examples was tested under the following conditions:
[0129] First efficiency: Charge the battery at 25℃ with a constant current of 0.05C to 1.8V, then charge it at a constant current of 0.2C to 2.8V, and then charge it at a constant voltage of 2.8V until the cutoff current is 0.05C. Then discharge the battery at a constant current of 0.1C to 1.7V. First efficiency = discharge capacity / charge capacity * 100%.
[0130] Capacity retention rate / %: Charge the battery at 0.2C constant current to 2.8V at 25℃, charge at 2.8V constant voltage to the cutoff current of 0.05C, and then discharge the battery at 0.2C constant current to 1.7V; the discharge capacity is recorded as C1. Repeat the charge and discharge steps N times to obtain the discharge capacity CN of the Nth cycle. The capacity retention rate of the Nth cycle = CN / C1*100%. The coulombic efficiency of the Nth cycle / %: discharge capacity of the Nth cycle / charge capacity of the Nth cycle *100%.
[0131] The average Coulomb efficiency for the first N laps is the average Coulomb efficiency for the first N laps.
[0132] Note: If the capacity retention rate of the above semi-solid-state battery is less than 80% and the coulombic efficiency is less than 98% during cycle testing, the battery test will be stopped.
[0133] The test results are shown in the table below:
[0134] Table 1
[0135]
[0136]
[0137] As can be seen from the table above:
[0138] (1) The semi-solid battery obtained by the present invention has excellent performance, with an initial efficiency of over 92%, a capacity retention rate of over 98% after 50 cycles, an average coulombic efficiency of over 99.5% after the first 50 cycles, a capacity retention rate of over 88.5% after the 150th cycle, and an average coulombic efficiency of over 99.5% after the first 150 cycles. As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, when step (1) is not soaked or step (2) is not sprayed, the organic positive or negative electrode sheet itself does not have a CEI film or SEI film, and no additives are added to the electrolyte. Therefore, the performance of the obtained battery is greatly reduced. As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, the CEI film-forming additive and SEI film-forming additive of the present invention are added directly to the electrolyte. However, due to factors such as limited fluidity of the electrolyte, the film-forming effect during battery use is low.
[0139] (2) from example 1 and example 4, it can be known that, compared with directly using polypyrrole, the in-situ polymerization of polypyrrole in the application can make electrolyte components also enter the electrode during polymerization, solve the problem of poor infiltration of semi-solid gel electrolyte, and in general, the in-situ polymerization has stronger lithium ion transmission capacity than the way of directly using polypyrrole, thereby the battery performance can be improved; from example 1 and example 5, it can be known that the ether solvent selected by the application is an oxidizing solvent, which can make pyrrole monomers polymerize, thereby in-situ generate polypyrrole, and realize the technical effect of in-situ generating polypyrrole; from example 1 and example 6, it can be known that the application further adds lithium salt in the first functional solution, thereby the performance of the organic positive electrode sheet can be further improved; from example 7-8, it can be known that the soaking time of the application will affect the curing and film forming effect; from example 1 and example 9-10, it can be known that the content of the negative SEI film forming additive in the second functional solution will also affect the film forming effect, thereby affecting the battery performance.
[0140] In summary, the application provides a semi-solid battery and a preparation method and application thereof, the organic positive electrode sheet of the semi-solid battery itself has a CEI film, and the negative electrode sheet itself has a SEI film, without the need to additionally add an additive in the electrolyte of the semi-solid battery, the problems of poor electrolyte flowability and low conductivity of the semi-solid battery are avoided, the semi-solid battery has higher specific capacity, good rate performance and super-long cycle stability.
