Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage solid-state lithium batteries, and in particular to a salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium battery. Background Art
[0002] As the new energy industry continues to expand, traditional liquid electrolytes pose safety risks such as leakage and flammability. Therefore, replacing flammable liquid electrolytes with solid-state electrolytes is an important research direction. Compared with inorganic solid-state electrolytes, solid polymer electrolytes offer advantages such as flexibility, chemical stability, and ease of processing. However, most suffer from low ionic conductivity and poor high-voltage resistance.
[0003] As the first choice for polymer matrices, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymer derivatives have been widely used in the field of lithium batteries. Among them, polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene copolymer (P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)) and polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE)) have very high dielectric constants, far exceeding PVDF, and have the potential to be used as high-performance solid electrolytes. However, there are currently relatively few literature reports on the use of this triblock polymer for solid electrolytes, and in order to improve ionic conductivity and adapt to high-voltage positive electrodes, ionic liquids are often relied on (Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.2023,62,e202300243). The NCM811 battery assembled without the introduction of ionic liquids has a specific capacity of only 150mAh / g after 50 cycles at 0.1C (EnergyEnviron.Sci.2021,14,6021).
[0004] Therefore, how to improve the performance of solid electrolytes and lithium batteries containing the solid electrolytes without introducing ionic liquids has become a difficult problem in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides a salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium battery. The solid electrolyte provided by the present invention has high ionic conductivity and high voltage resistance, and the lithium battery containing the electrolyte has high specific capacity and cycle performance.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] The present invention provides a method for preparing a salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte, comprising the following steps:
[0008] (1) mixing a ternary fluorinated copolymer, a first lithium salt, and an organic solvent to obtain a mixture 1;
[0009] (2) heating and melting the nitrile compound and the second lithium salt to obtain a mixture 2;
[0010] (3) mixing the mixture 1 obtained in step (1) and the mixture 2 obtained in step (2), casting the mixture onto a substrate, and drying the mixture to obtain a salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte;

[0024] (1) mixing a ternary fluorinated copolymer, a first lithium salt and an organic solvent to obtain a mixture 1; (2) heating and melting a nitrile compound and a second lithium salt to obtain a mixture 2; (3) mixing the mixture 1 obtained in step (1) and the mixture 2 obtained in step (2), casting the mixture onto a substrate, and drying the mixture to obtain a salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte; there is no time sequence for steps (1) and (2). The present invention forms a salt-encapsulated polymer electrolyte by combining a ternary fluorinated copolymer and a lithium salt. In addition to being conducted by polymer chains in the amorphous region, lithium ions can also be conducted by jumping through an ion conduction network formed by aggregated ion clusters generated by a high lithium salt concentration. The lithium salt with a multi-molecular coordination structure is more easily dissociated, which can provide more mobile lithium ions, thereby improving the room temperature ionic conductivity and high voltage resistance of the electrolyte. At the same time, part of the added nitrile compound is fixed in the polymer framework and forms a uniform phase with the polymer, while the other part exists in the form of free small molecules. These residual small molecules wet the positive electrode material, effectively reducing the electrolyte / electrode interface impedance, making the solid electrolyte compatible with the high-voltage positive electrode. In addition, the salt-encapsulated polymer electrolyte improves the transmission of lithium ions, increases the number of lithium ion transfers, reduces the decomposition of the electrolyte and inhibits the growth of lithium dendrites, greatly reducing the adverse effects of the addition of nitrile compounds, and improving the performance of the solid electrolyte and the lithium battery containing the solid electrolyte.

The lithium battery containing the salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte has a high specific capacity and cycle performance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] In the present invention, a ternary fluorinated copolymer, a first lithium salt and an organic solvent are mixed to obtain a mixture 1.
[0040] In the present invention, the weight average molecular weight of the ternary fluorinated copolymer is preferably 400,000 to 700,000 g / mol, more preferably 450,000 to 550,000 g / mol.

[0100] (2) 2 g of succinonitrile and 0.58 g of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide) were mixed (the mass ratio of succinonitrile to lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide was 3.45:1), and the mixture was heated and stirred at 50° C. for 4 h at a speed of 500 r / min to obtain a mixture 2;
[0101] (3) In a glove box, 0.232 g of mixture 2 was added to mixture 1 (the mass ratio of polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene copolymer to succinonitrile was 1:0.9) using a pipette, and stirred evenly at a speed of 500 r / min at 30°C. The mixed solution was poured onto a glass plate and then heated in a vacuum oven at 60°C for 24 h. After being taken out, it was dried until the surface of the electrolyte membrane was no longer sticky. Then, multiple layers of sulfuric acid paper were covered on the dried electrolyte membrane, and the membrane was removed with tweezers. The other side was covered with multiple layers of sulfuric acid paper. The electrolyte membrane covered with multiple layers of sulfuric acid paper was then placed in a glove box and dried to obtain a salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte with a thickness of 50 μm.
[0102] The room temperature conductivity of the salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte prepared in Example 5 is 5.5×10 -4 S / cm, the lithium ion transference number is 0.41, but the lithium salt concentration is high and lithium salt is easily precipitated after drying.
[0103] Comparative Example 1
[0104] The difference from Example 1 is that Mixture 2 was not added.
[0105] Comparative Application Example 1
[0106] The salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte of Example 1 in Application Example 1 was replaced with the electrolyte of Comparative Example 1 to assemble an NCM811 battery.
[0107] The specific capacity-coulomb efficiency diagram of the NCM811 button battery assembled in the test application example 1 and the comparative application example 1 is shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 It can be seen that the discharge specific capacity of the battery continues to decay from the beginning of the cycle, and the coulombic efficiency fluctuates greatly. The stability of the button battery assembled with the electrolyte of Comparative Example 1 without adding nitrile compounds is far inferior to that of the button battery assembled with the electrolyte of Example 1. It can be seen that simply increasing the lithium salt concentration is not enough to adapt to the high-voltage positive electrode.
[0108] The impedance diagrams of the salt-coated polymer solid electrolytes prepared in Examples 1 to 5 were tested, and the results were as follows: Figure 7 As shown. Figure 7 The room temperature conductivity and lithium ion transference number of the salt-in-polymer solid electrolyte prepared in each embodiment can be seen in FIG.
[0109] In summary, the salt-coated polymer solid electrolyte prepared by the present invention has good room-temperature conductivity and lithium ion transference number, and the Li / NCM811 battery assembled with the electrolyte has excellent rate performance, specific capacity and cycle performance.
[0110] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
