[0024] A first aspect of this application provides an electrochemical device, including an electrolyte comprising a compound of formula (I) and a polymeric monomer:

[0025]

[0026] Wherein, X1 and X2 are each independently selected from Ra-substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C5 heterocyclic groups and Ra-substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C9 aryl groups, and the heteroatoms in the heterocyclic groups are selected from at least one of N, O, or S; the substituent Ra of each group is each independently selected from Rb-substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C5 heterocyclic groups. 12 Alkyl, Rb-substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C3 12 Alkenyl, Rb-substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C5 heterocyclic groups, Rb-substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C5 heterocyclic groups 12 Aryl group; the substituents Rb of each group are independently selected from C1 to C6 alkyl, C2 to C6 alkenyl, C6 to C6 alkyl, C2 to C6 alkenyl, C6 to C6 alkenyl, C2 ... 12 aryl, C1 to C6 alkoxy, C6 to C 12The compound comprises at least one of the following: aryloxy group, C1 to C6 ester group, Si1 to Si6 silyl group, Si1 to Si6 siloxane group, amino group, ether group, carbonyl group, carboxyl group, sulfonic acid group, mercapto group, nitro group, cyano group, or halogen group; the polymerizable monomer comprises at least one of the following: methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, vinylene carbonate, ethylene ethylene carbonate, ethylene, propylene, vinyl acetate, difluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, acrylonitrile, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol diacrylate, diethylene glycol diacrylate, ethylene oxide, dioxopentane, 2,6-dimethylphenol, 3,4-ethylenedioxothiophene, or 4,6-diamino-1,3-m-diphenol; based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the compound of formula (I) is m%, 0.01≤m≤5, preferably 0.5≤m≤4, and the mass percentage of the polymerizable monomer is n%, 0.5≤n≤10, preferably 2≤n≤8. For example, m can be 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, or any value between any two of the above ranges. n can be 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or any value between any two of the above ranges.

[0027] Through extensive research, the inventors discovered that the compound of formula (I) possesses cross-linking polymerization and metal ion complexation functions. When both the compound and the monomer of this application are controlled within the aforementioned content range, a structure similar to organometallic molecules (MOFs) can be generated on the positive electrode. This structure, serving as the network framework of the positive electrolyte interfacial film (CEI), combines rigidity and flexibility, effectively blocking contact between the liquid electrolyte and the positive electrode and suppressing the oxidative decomposition of organic solvents under high voltage. Furthermore, this structure, as the network framework of the CEI, also exhibits low impedance, providing fast ion transport channels and broadening the rate window of the electrochemical device. During the charge-discharge cycle of the electrochemical device, the monomer of this application can undergo a repair polymerization reaction with polymers (such as binders) in the positive electrode, helping to maintain the adhesion of the binder and the network structure of the conductive agent in the positive electrode material layer, thereby extending the cycle life of the electrochemical device. If the mass percentage of compound (I) is less than 0.01% and / or the mass percentage of polymeric monomer is less than 0.5%, insufficient organic polymer formation can easily lead to poor contact between the inorganic solid electrolyte and the positive electrode active material particles, thereby increasing the interfacial impedance of the positive electrode / inorganic solid electrolyte and increasing the polarization of the electrochemical device. If the mass percentage of compound (I) is greater than 5% and / or the mass percentage of polymeric monomer is greater than 10%, excessive organic polymer formation can easily lead to an increase in the lithium-ion desolvation energy barrier, resulting in excessive interfacial impedance of the positive electrode / inorganic solid electrolyte, lithium plating during charging, and more residual polymeric monomer, which continuously reacts and consumes lithium ions during charging and discharging, leading to rapid capacity decay of the electrochemical device. Therefore, by selecting the above-mentioned types of compound (I) and polymeric monomer, and controlling the mass percentage of compound (I) and polymeric monomer within the above-mentioned ranges, the cycle performance of the electrochemical device under high voltage and high discharge rate can be improved. In this application, high voltage means a voltage greater than or equal to 4.25V, and high discharge rate means a discharge rate greater than 0.5C.

[0028] For example, compounds of formula (I) include at least one of the following compounds: (I-1) to (I-10):

[0029]

[0030] Using the compound of formula (I) above is beneficial to improving the cycle performance of electrochemical devices under high voltage and high discharge rate.

[0031] For example, C2 to C5 heterocyclic groups are selected from the following groups:

[0032]

[0033] For example, C6 to C9 aryl groups are selected from the following groups:

[0034]

[0035] In this application, "*" indicates a connection site.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the molar mass of the compound of formula (I) is M. (I) g / mol, the molar mass of the polymerized monomer is M 单 g / mol, m, n, M (I) and M 单 The following condition must be met: 1.5 ≤ (n / M) 单 ) / (m / M (I) )≤100, preferably, 4.8≤(n / M) 单 ) / (m / M (I) )≤60. For example, (n / M 单 ) / (m / M (I) The value of (n / M) is 1.5, 3, 4.8, 10, 20, 30, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, or any value between any two of the above ranges. 单 ) / (m / M (I) By controlling the value of (I) within the aforementioned range, the compound and monomer of formula (I) can achieve directional control over the composition of repeating block polymer units and design the polymer type. The resulting organic polymer, as an artificial CEI, possesses more suitable rigidity and flexibility, which is beneficial for blocking the contact between the electrolyte and the positive electrode, suppressing the oxidative decomposition of organic solvents in the electrolyte under high voltage, and further reducing the impedance of the electrochemical device and widening its rate window. This, in turn, improves the cycle performance and charging rate window of the electrochemical device.

[0037] It should be noted that when two or more polymeric monomers and / or two or more compounds of formula (I) are selected in the electrolyte, (n / M 单 ) / (m / M (I) This can also be understood as ∑(n / M) 单 ) / ∑(m / M (I) ).

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the electrochemical device includes a positive electrode, which includes a positive current collector and a positive electrode material layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector. The positive electrode material layer includes a positive electrode active material and an inorganic solid electrolyte. Based on the mass of the positive electrode material layer, the mass percentage of the inorganic solid electrolyte is θ%, 0.005 ≤ θ ≤ 6. For example, the value of θ is 0.001, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, or any value between any two of the above ranges. The inorganic solid electrolyte and the organic polymer together serve as an artificial CEI. The inorganic solid electrolyte has good conductivity and oxidation resistance, which can improve the rate performance and high voltage stability of the positive electrode. The organic polymer is formed by the polymerization reaction of monomers in the electrolyte, which can improve the contact between the inorganic solid electrolyte and the positive electrode active material, reduce the impedance of the positive electrode, and enhance the electrochemical stability of the positive electrode. By controlling the mass percentage of inorganic solid electrolyte in the cathode material layer within the above range, and matching it with the content of compound (I) and polymer monomer, the cycling performance of the electrochemical device under high voltage and high discharge rate can be further improved.

[0039] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned "positive electrode material layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector" means that the positive electrode material layer can be disposed on one surface of the positive electrode current collector or on two surfaces of the positive electrode current collector, and the above-mentioned "surface" refers to all or part of the surface of the positive electrode current collector.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, 0.1 ≤ n / θ ≤ 100, preferably 0.5 ≤ n / θ ≤ 100. For example, the value of n / θ is 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, or any value between any two of the above ranges. Inorganic solid electrolytes have good conductivity and oxidation resistance, and also function as fast ion conductors. By controlling the value of n / θ within the above range, the contact interface between the inorganic solid electrolyte and the positive electrode active material (e.g., a positive electrode active material with a nickel content of not less than 80%) is well-densed. The CEI film generated by the in-situ polymerization of the monomers has a good protective effect on the positive electrode active material, reducing the possibility of irreversible crystal phase destruction and rapid capacity decay of the positive electrode active material during the charge-discharge cycle of the electrochemical device. Furthermore, the electrolyte has a suitable degree of polymerization, and there are sufficient liquid components remaining after the polymerization of the monomers, resulting in a low impedance of the electrochemical device. As a result, the cycling performance of the electrochemical device is improved under high voltage and high discharge rate.

[0041] Preferably, 0.005 ≤ θ ≤ 5. For example, the value of θ is 0.005, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, or any value between any two of the above ranges. Controlling the mass percentage of the inorganic solid electrolyte in the cathode material layer within the above-mentioned preferred range is beneficial for further improving the cycle performance of the electrochemical device under high voltage and high discharge rate.

[0042] Preferably, 0.5 ≤ n / θ ≤ 100. For example, the value of n / θ is 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, or any value between any two of the above ranges. Adjusting the value of n / θ within the above preferred range is beneficial for further improving the cycle performance of the electrochemical device under high voltage and high discharge rate.

[0043] Preferably, 0.005 ≤ θ ≤ 5, and 0.5 ≤ n / θ ≤ 100. By simultaneously controlling the mass percentage of the inorganic solid electrolyte in the positive electrode material layer and the value of n / θ within the above-mentioned preferred ranges, the cycle performance of the electrochemical device under high voltage and high discharge rate can be further improved.

The above-mentioned inorganic solid electrolyte possesses good conductivity and oxidation resistance, matching the electrolyte provided in this application. The inorganic solid electrolyte and the organic polymer formed by the polymer monomers together serve as an artificial CEI, providing good interfacial protection for the positive electrode active material, thereby improving the rate performance and high voltage stability of the positive electrode, and thus enhancing the cycle performance of the electrochemical device under high voltage and high discharge rate.

The electrolyte contains the above-mentioned initiators, and the mass percentage of the initiator in the electrolyte is controlled within the above-mentioned range. The initiator can further enhance the polymerization effect of the monomers, forming organic polymers that better adhere to the surface of the positive electrode active material and / or the surface of the inorganic solid electrolyte, thereby blocking the contact between the electrolyte and the positive electrode, inhibiting the oxidative decomposition of organic solvents in the electrolyte under high voltage, reducing the impedance of the electrochemical device, and thus improving the cycle performance of the electrochemical device under high voltage and high discharge rate.

[0046] In this application, the monomers can also undergo polymerization via electro-initiation (current-catalyzed polymerization), photo-initiation (ultraviolet photocatalyzed polymerization), or thermal initiation (high-temperature catalyzed polymerization), or polymerization can be initiated by an initiator under any of the above initiation methods, to form monomers or oligomers of the main chain segments and functional chain segments of the organic polymer, which adhere to the surface of the positive electrode active material or the surface of the inorganic solid electrolyte. In this application, the polymerization of monomers to form the organic polymer is generated during the electrochemical device manufacturing process. For example, during the electrolyte injection stage, monomers are added to the electrolyte and then polymerized via thermal initiation, or during the formation stage, polymerization is initiated via electro-initiation.

For example, the mass percentage of the additive containing an unsaturated bond is 0.01%, 0.05%, 1%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, or any value between any two of the above numerical ranges. When the electrolyte comprises the above-mentioned type of additive containing an unsaturated bond, and the mass percentage of the additive containing an unsaturated bond is controlled within the above-mentioned range, the additive containing an unsaturated bond undergoes a copolymerization reaction with the polymerizable monomer, and the formed copolymer also has the effect of adjusting the physical and electrochemical properties of the aforementioned organic polymer, and can also improve the ionic conductivity, oxidation resistance or reduction resistance window of the copolymer, produce a synergistic effect, and further improve the cycling performance of the electrochemical device under high voltage and high discharge rate conditions.

[0064] The negative electrode sheet was obtained by disassembling a lithium-ion battery (0% state of charge, 2.5V). After cleaning the negative electrode sheet with dimethyl carbonate (DMC), the structure type of the inorganic solid electrolyte in the negative electrode material layer on the surface of the negative electrode sheet was tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the composition of the inorganic solid electrolyte was tested by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS).

The mass percentage of organic solvent, compound (I), polymer monomer, initiator, and unsaturated bond additive in the electrolyte was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). The mass percentage of lithium salt was determined by ion chromatography-mass spectrometry.

[0066] Cyclic performance test:

[0067] Three lithium-ion batteries from the examples or comparative examples were placed in a 25°C environment and left to stand for 30 minutes. The following three charge-discharge cycles were then tested: ① Charged at 0.5C to 4.2V, then constant-voltage charged to 0.05C, and finally constant-current discharged at 0.5C to 2.8V; ② Charged at 0.5C to 4.25V, then constant-voltage charged to 0.05C, and finally constant-current discharged at 0.5C to 2.5V; ③ Charged at 0.5C to 4.25V, then constant-voltage charged to 0.05C, and finally constant-current discharged at 1C to 2.5V. The initial discharge capacity C1 and the discharge capacity C1' after each cycle were recorded. The capacity retention rate η = (C1' / C1) × 100%. When η = 70%, the number of cycles ε corresponding to C1' was recorded. The test results using process ① are recorded as 2.8V-4.2Vε1, those using process ② are recorded as 2.5V-4.25Vε2, and those using process ③ are recorded as 2.5V-4.25Vε3.
