Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of potassium ion batteries, and in particular relates to a non-flammable and high-voltage resistant electrolyte, a preparation method and a potassium ion battery. Background Art
[0002] At present, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high energy density and long cycle life have become an important power source in the field of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. However, lithium and cobalt required for LIBs are costly and relatively scarce elements. With the rapid development of the electric vehicle market, the demand for these material resources is also growing. In addition, lithium and cobalt resources are unevenly distributed, mainly in South America and the Republic of Congo, which leads to an urgent need to develop new rechargeable batteries to supplement the development of LIBs. At present, potassium ion batteries (KIBs) are a low-cost option that can supplement LIBs. Potassium resources are widely distributed and abundant on the earth, and the cost is low. In addition, KIBs provide higher voltage than sodium ion batteries (SIBs) or even LIBs. Due to their obvious cost advantages and sustainable supply characteristics, potassium ion batteries have attracted much attention in large-scale grid energy storage. The electrolyte plays a vital role in the battery. As a conductive medium, it maintains the chemical reaction of the battery and the flow of current by transferring ions between the positive and negative electrodes. During the charging and discharging process, the ions in the electrolyte move to ensure the effective energy storage and release of the battery. In addition, the electrolyte also directly affects the energy density, safety and cycle life of the battery. Until now, carbon materials such as graphite are relatively promising negative electrode materials for KIBs, and Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are the most promising positive electrode materials. Due to the requirements for high voltage characteristics and cycle life of batteries, traditional electrolytes can no longer meet the needs of potassium ion batteries, so there is an urgent need to develop electrolytes that meet high voltage stable cycles.
[0003] Considering the use of carbon materials as negative electrode materials, the electrolyte should have good anti-reduction properties at low pressures, and the anti-reduction properties of the electrolyte mainly depend on the stability of the solid electrolyte interface film formed by the electrolyte at the solid-liquid interface. Traditional carbonate electrolytes have good film-forming properties at the negative electrode and can form a stable solid electrolyte interface film. However, considering that high-voltage materials are used for the positive electrode, carbonate electrolytes have poor oxidation stability and are prone to oxidative decomposition under high pressure, accelerating interfacial side reactions and affecting the cycle life of the battery. However, some high-voltage resistant electrolytes show very poor cycle stability at graphite negative electrodes. At the same time, traditional electrolytes are all flammable organic substances, which are prone to thermal runaway at high temperatures, causing battery safety issues. Therefore, the development of a high-voltage resistant and non-flammable electrolyte is crucial to the commercialization of potassium ion batteries. Summary of the invention

[0025] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the content of the present invention includes but is not limited to the specific implementation methods described below, and similar technologies and methods should be considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Preferably, the volume ratio of the non-flammable phosphate ester solvent to the high-pressure resistant additive is 1:0.5-5. The additive at this ratio can provide better high-pressure resistance performance (.
[0034] In a specific implementation, the potassium salt solute, the non-flammable organic solvent and the high-pressure resistant additive in the electrolyte are all analytically pure, with a purity of ≥99.5%, and a water content of less than 1 ppm.
[0035] Preferably, the positive electrode active material of the positive electrode sheet is one of the Prussian blue analogs, with a mass ratio of 70wt.% to 95wt.%, and a total mass ratio of the conductive carbon and the binder of 30wt.% to 5wt.%. The positive electrode sheet under this ratio can provide higher conductivity and adhesion. The sum of the mass ratios of the positive electrode active material, the conductive carbon and the binder is 100%. The loading amount of the positive electrode active material is controlled at 0.1mg cm -2 Up to 20 mg cm -2 range, the positive electrode sheet has good activity within this range.
[0036] In a specific implementation, preferably, the negative electrode active material of the negative electrode sheet is selected from carbon materials such as graphite or hard carbon, with a mass ratio of 70wt.% to 96wt.%, and a total mass ratio of conductive carbon and binder of 30wt.% to 4wt.%.

The loading amount of the negative electrode active material is also controlled at 0.1mg cm -2 Up to 20 mg cm -2 range, the positive electrode sheet has good activity within this range.

[0043] As an embodiment disclosed in the present invention, the present invention also provides an electrolyte obtained by the preparation method of the present invention. The electrolyte introduces a high-voltage resistant additive that reduces concentration and viscosity into a non-flammable phosphate electrolyte, reduces the binding of solvent molecules and metal cations through the intermolecular action between two or more solvents, and promotes more anions to enter the solvation shell, so that the anions decompose on the surface of the negative electrode to form a stable solid electrolyte interface film. At the same time, the addition of high-voltage resistant additives further enhances the oxidative stability of the phosphate electrolyte, thereby improving the high-voltage stability of the potassium ion battery. In addition, the non-flammability of phosphate reduces the thermal runaway phenomenon of the battery and ensures the safe and stable circulation of the battery.

[0046] In the full cell and half cell, the positive electrode material is a Prussian blue analogue, such as potassium manganese hexacyanoferrate (K2Mn[Fe(CN)6]), and the negative electrode material is graphite or hard carbon.
[0047] The potassium ion battery is specifically a button battery, a soft pack battery or a cylindrical battery, without specific limitation.
