[0002] In recent years, new energy power vehicles have developed rapidly, but some deficiencies have also appeared, for example, slow charging, short endurance, low actual mileage in severe cold regions, etc. Endurance mileage has become the focus of attention, and developing a new high-voltage battery system or increasing the charging cutoff voltage has become a research hotspot of high-energy-density lithium batteries, and increasing the working voltage of the positive electrode material is the main means to improve the energy density of lithium ion batteries.

[0003] At present, high-voltage positive electrode materials such as spinel lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO), high-voltage ternary, high-voltage lithium cobaltate, and layered lithium-rich oxide (LLO) have become research hotspots. With the continuous increase of the voltage of lithium ion batteries, the electrolyte interface reaction will be more intense, and with the continuous charging and discharging cycles of the battery, the internal resistance of the battery gradually increases, thereby leading to the decline or even failure of the battery performance. Especially under high voltage and high temperature conditions, Mn 4+ in the positive electrode material will undergo disproportionation reaction and dissolve into the electrolyte in the form of Mn 2 + .

[0004] Researchers mainly overcome the existing drawbacks by coating and element doping of the positive electrode material. However, the material doping and coating method is complex and high in cost.

[0056] This comparative group was used to prepare electrolyte solutions and batteries according to the formulation and method provided in the treatment group 1A of Example 1. With reference to the treatment group 1A of Example 1, the difference between this comparative group and the treatment group 1A of Example 1 is that no cyclic sulfate is added to prepare the electrolyte solution in this comparative group. Specifically, the mass fraction of an organic solvent is used to replace the cyclic sulfate, and the organic solvent maintains a mass ratio of ethylene carbonate: diethyl carbonate: 2,2-difluoroacetic acid = 15:65:20. Except for the above-mentioned difference, the operation for preparing the electrolyte solutions and batteries in this comparative group is strictly consistent with that in the treatment group 1A of Example 1.

[0057] Test Example 1

[0058] 1. Test object

[0059] The electrolytes provided in the various embodiments and comparative examples were applied to lithium-ion batteries, and performance tests were conducted using lithium-ion batteries. Electrochemical tests were performed using the Xinwei charge-discharge test cabinet.

[0060] 2. Testing Methods

[0061] (1) Room temperature cycle performance test: At 25℃, the lithium-ion battery was charged at a constant current of 0.5C (nominal capacity) to a voltage of 4.6V, then charged at a constant voltage of 4.6V to a current ≤0.05C. After resting for 10 minutes, it was discharged at a constant current of 1C to a cutoff voltage of 2.5V. This constitutes one charge-discharge cycle. The lithium-ion battery was subjected to 1000 charge-discharge cycles at 25℃ under the above conditions. The capacity retention rate was calculated according to formula (1), and the average voltage was calculated according to formula (2).

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] (2) High-temperature cycle performance test: At 45℃, the lithium-ion battery is subjected to a constant current of 1.0C (nominal capacity).

[0065] Charge the battery to 4.6V, then charge it at a constant voltage of 4.6V until the current is ≤0.05C. After resting for 10 minutes, discharge it at a constant current of 1C until the cutoff voltage is 2.5V. This constitutes one charge-discharge cycle. Perform 800 charge-discharge cycles at 45℃ under the above conditions. The capacity retention rate is calculated according to equation (1), and the average voltage is calculated according to equation (2).

[0066] (3) Mn dissolution: The lithium-ion battery after the corresponding cycle test is discharged at a constant current of 0.5C (nominal capacity) to the cutoff voltage of 2.5V. Then the battery is disassembled, the negative electrode is removed and the negative electrode powder attached to the copper current collector is scraped off with a ceramic blade, and ICP-OES test is performed.

[0067] 3. Test Results and Analysis

[0068] The test results of the present test example are shown in Table 3, wherein the influence of different structures of cyclic sulfate on the performance of the prepared lithium ion battery is mainly explored in the present test example. In the comparative group 6A of Example 1, no cyclic sulfate is added, and it can be found that when no cyclic sulfate is added, the lithium ion battery using it has a serious TMs metal ion dissolution problem, which further leads to a lower capacity retention performance at different temperatures. In the treatment groups 1A-3A, the cyclic sulfate provided by the present application is used, and compared with the comparative group 6A, the TMs metal ion dissolution problem is obviously improved. In the comparative groups 1A-4A, although the existing materials contain the same X functional group, the improvement of the TMs metal ion dissolution problem is not as obvious as the cyclic sulfate provided by the present application. This is because the fluorine atom on the ring can prevent the TMs metal ion from depositing on the negative electrode surface. The material used in the comparative group 5A has no fluorine atom group and X group, and its effect on improving the TMs metal ion dissolution is poor.

[0069] The above experiments show that the cyclic sulfate provided by the present application, through the complementary of the fluorine atom group and the X group on the ring, can form a uniform and dense CEI film on the positive electrode, and also form a stable SEI film in the negative electrode, improve the TMs dissolution problem, and further improve the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery in the high temperature and high pressure environment.

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] Example 2

[0074] In the present example, the treatment group 1B is set according to the treatment group 1A of Example 1.

[0075] In addition, the treatment groups 2B-7B of the present example refer to the formulation for preparing the electrolyte of the treatment group 1B, and the matching of the content of the cyclic sulfate, FEC, VC, LiPO2F2 and PS in the formulation is used as a variable to set different treatment groups. The additive composition for preparing the electrolyte of each treatment group of the present example is shown in Table 4. Among them, the content change of the cyclic sulfate, FEC, VC, LiPO2F2 and PS is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the mass fraction of the organic solvent in the electrolyte, wherein the organic solvent maintains the ratio of ethylene carbonate: diethyl carbonate: 2,2-difluoroacetic acid = 15:65:20. In addition to the above differences, the operation of preparing the electrolyte and the lithium ion battery of the treatment groups 2B-11B of the present example is strictly consistent with that of the treatment group 1B of Example 2.

[0076] Table 4. Additive compositions used in the preparation of electrolytes for the treatment groups 1B to 1 IB of this example

[0077] Group Cyclic sulfate FEC VC LiPO2F2 PS Treatment group 1B 1% 5% 0.5% 0.5% 1% Treatment group 2B 0.5% 5% 0.5% 0.5% 1% Treatment group 3B 0.3% 5% 0.5% 0.5% 1% Treatment group 4B 1.5% 5% 0.5% 0.5% 1% Treatment group 5B 1% 0 0.5% 0.5% 1% Treatment group 6B 1% 5% 0 0.5% 1% Treatment group 7B 1% 5% 0.5% 0 1% Treatment group 8B 1% 5% 0.5% 0.5% 0

[0078] The treatment groups 9B to 1 IB of this example were prepared according to the formulation of the treatment group 1 B of Example 2, with the lithium salt additive, sulfur-containing additive materials used in the electrolyte functional additive composition as variables, as shown in Table 5. Except for the above-mentioned differences, the operations for preparing electrolytes and batteries in the treatment groups 9B to 1 IB of this example were strictly consistent with the treatment group 1 B of Example 2.

[0080]

[0081]

[0082] Test Example 2

[0083] 1. Test objects

[0084] The batteries prepared in the treatment groups 1 B to 14B of Example 2 were subjected to electrochemical tests using a new Wei charge-discharge test cabinet.

[0085] 2. Test methods

[0086] This test example was tested according to the method provided in Test Example 1.

[0087] 3. Test results and analysis

[0088] The test results of this test example are shown in Table 6, in which the effects of the contents of the cyclic sulfate, fluorinated carboxylate polymer, lithium salt additive, sulfur-containing additive, and vinylene carbonate added in the additives on the performance of the prepared lithium ion batteries were mainly explored in this test example.

[0089] First, in the treatment groups 1 B to 4B, the effects of the contents of the cyclic sulfate added on the performance of the prepared lithium ion batteries were explored. From the test results, the content of the cyclic sulfate added would affect the TMs metal ion dissolution, and with the increase of the content of the cyclic sulfate, the dissolution of the TMs metal ion showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing. This indicates that when the content of the cyclic sulfate added is too low, the improvement of the TMs metal ion dissolution problem is weak; when the content of the cyclic sulfate added is too high, due to the interface side reaction, it is not conducive to improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0090] By comparing the test results of the treatment group 1B, the treatment group 5B and the comparison group 6A, it can be concluded that, with the cycle, TMs are continuously dissolved from the positive electrode and reduced and deposited in the negative electrode, thereby continuously destroying the SEI film, and the FEC can continuously repair the damaged SEI film, thereby improving the cycle performance.

[0091] By comparing the test results of the treatment group 1B and the treatment group 6B, it can be concluded that, since the VC can form an organic film in the negative electrode, thereby enhancing the stability of the SEI film, and further improving the cycle stability of the lithium ion battery using the same.

[0092] By comparing the test results of the treatment group 1B and the treatment group 7B, it can be concluded that LiPO2F2 can participate in the film forming process of the positive and negative electrodes, and further enhance the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery. In combination with the test results of the treatment groups 9B and 11B, the compactness of the SEI film formed by different lithium salt additives is different, which will affect the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery using the same.

[0093] By comparing the test results of the treatment group 1B and the treatment group 8B, it can be concluded that the introduction of PS can assist in film forming in the positive and negative electrodes, and due to its high thermal stability, it can further promote the effect of assisting in film forming in the positive and negative electrodes at high temperature. In combination with the test results of the treatment groups 10B-11B, the different sulfur-containing additives provide different effects of assisting in film forming, which will affect the high-temperature cycle performance of the lithium ion battery using the same.

[0094] Therefore, through the present test example, it can be proved that by matching the fluorocarboxylic acid ester polymer, the lithium salt additive, the sulfur-containing additive and the carbonate additive to adjust the electrolyte formula, the problem of rapid cycle capacity decay and voltage decay of the high-voltage positive electrode material system battery can be solved to different degrees.

In this example, the mass fraction of the organic solvent in the electrolyte is kept at 77%. Furthermore, each treatment group of this example is used to prepare the electrolyte and the lithium battery by referring to the treatment group 1A of example 1.

[0102] Processing group 5C

[0103] The present processing group prepares electrolyte and battery according to the formulation and method provided by processing group 1C of Example 3, and the difference between the present processing group and processing group 1A of Example 1 is that the present processing group does not add diethyl carbonate to prepare electrolyte, specifically, equal parts of ethylene carbonate: 2,2-difluoroethyl acetate = 15:20 by mass ratio are used to replace ethylene carbonate to prepare electrolyte. Except for the above difference, the operation of preparing electrolyte and battery in the present processing group is strictly consistent with processing group 1C of Example 3.

[0104] Processing group 6C

[0105] The present processing group prepares electrolyte and battery according to the formulation and method provided by processing group 1C of Example 3, and the difference between the present processing group and processing group 1A of Example 1 is that the present processing group does not add diethyl carbonate to prepare electrolyte, specifically, equal parts of ethylene carbonate: 2,2-difluoroethyl acetate = 15:20 by mass ratio are used to replace ethylene carbonate to prepare electrolyte. Except for the above difference, the operation of preparing electrolyte and battery in the present processing group is strictly consistent with processing group 1C of Example 3.

In the processing groups 5C-6C of Example 3, no diethyl carbonate and no difluoroacetic acid ethyl ester are added respectively, which causes different degrees of reduction in the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery using the same. In the processing groups 1C-4C of Example 3, the effects of the mass ratio of different vinyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate and difluoroacetic acid ethyl ester on the performance of the lithium ion battery using the same are explored. It can be seen from the test results that the cycle performance of the battery can be further improved when the cyclic carbonate: chain carbonate: chain fluorinated ester = 1-15: 20-70: 5-20.
