Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries and relates to an anti-overcharge additive, a non-aqueous electrolyte containing the additive and a non-aqueous electrolyte battery. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have significant advantages such as high energy density, low self-discharge rate, wide operating temperature range, long cycle life, and no memory effect. They are widely used in 3C digital, new energy vehicles, energy storage power stations, and aerospace. With the rapid expansion of the electric vehicle market, the safety of lithium-ion batteries has received more and more attention. Due to the use of flammable organic solvents, non-aqueous electrolyte batteries have safety risks under misoperation conditions. In particular, when the battery is overcharged, excessive lithium precipitation occurs on the surface of the negative electrode, and at the same time the positive electrode structure is destroyed, releasing oxygen, which quickly causes an exothermic decomposition reaction between the electrode and the electrolyte interface, leading to thermal runaway, causing battery rupture, fire, and explosion.

[0003] In order to solve these problems, the traditional method is to install an overcharge protection circuit for the battery, but it cannot completely eliminate the danger of overcharging. The more commonly used method is to add a benzene ring-containing anti-overcharge additive to the electrolyte. The benzene ring structure undergoes a polymerization reaction under a certain voltage. The resulting polymer can cause diaphragm occlusion and adhere to the electrode surface, causing a physical separation between the electrode and the electrolyte, increasing the internal resistance of the battery and blocking the further increase of the voltage. In addition, the polymerization reaction also produces a large amount of gas, which can cause the safety mechanisms inside the battery, such as the safety valve and the safety explosion-proof valve (CID), to be activated to prevent the battery from exploding.

[0004] For example, patent documents CN112310477A, ​​CN106887641A, CN102780041A, CN112186245A and Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-047588 disclose technologies for adding benzene derivatives with various substituents to non-aqueous electrolytes. In particular, biphenyl (BP) and cyclohexylbenzene (CHB) are commonly used in lithium-ion batteries for 3C applications, which can effectively inhibit battery overcharging. However, on the one hand, the addition of existing additives will damage the cycle performance of the battery and increase the battery impedance; on the other hand, the oxidation resistance of existing anti-overcharge additives is poor, and they can only be used in lithium-ion batteries with a charging voltage of less than 4.2V. As the battery capacity increases, the design voltage becomes higher and higher, and these additives themselves will undergo oxidative decomposition, affecting battery performance. Diphenyl carbonate is disclosed in CN114171791A, but the additive has many impurities, which has a great impact on battery performance and anti-overcharge performance. If it is not purified, it cannot be used directly in the electrolyte. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below by specific implementation methods. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments are only to help understand the present invention and should not be regarded as specific limitations of the present invention.

[0039] Comparative Example 1:

[0040] Production of positive plate

[0041] LiNi 0.85 Co 0.12 Al 0.03 The lithium nickel composite oxide represented by O2 is mixed in such a way that it reaches 100 kg, acetylene black as a conductive agent reaches 1 kg, and polyvinylidene fluoride as a binder reaches 0.9 kg. The mixture is put into N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a dispersion medium, and kneaded to produce a positive electrode mixture slurry. The positive electrode active material slurry is applied to both sides of the positive electrode collector formed by aluminum foil, and dried to form a positive electrode mixture layer. The positive electrode mixture layer is compressed in a manner to reach a specified thickness, and the compressed electrode plate is cut into a specified size. Finally, the positive electrode connector is joined to the exposed portion of the positive electrode collector where the positive electrode mixture layer is not formed, thereby producing a positive electrode plate.

[0042] Negative plate production

[0043] Graphite as a negative electrode active material is mixed in an amount of 96 kg, styrene butadiene rubber as a binder is mixed in an amount of 2 kg, and carboxymethyl cellulose as a thickener is mixed in an amount of 2 kg. The mixture is put into water as a dispersion medium and kneaded to produce a negative electrode mixture slurry. The negative electrode mixture slurry is applied to both sides of a negative electrode collector formed of copper foil, and dried to form a negative electrode mixture layer. The negative electrode mixture layer is compressed in a manner to reach a specified thickness, and the compressed electrode plate is cut into a specified size. Finally, a negative electrode connector is joined to the exposed portion of the negative electrode collector where the negative electrode mixture layer is not formed, thereby producing a negative electrode plate.

[0044] Electrode body fabrication

[0045] The positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate were wound with a separator formed of a polyethylene microporous film interposed therebetween to produce an electrode body. The end of the separator at the end of the winding of the electrode body was fixed with an adhesive tape.

[0046] Preparation of non-aqueous electrolyte

[0047] Ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) were mixed in a volume ratio of 4:3:3 (1 atmosphere, 25°C) to prepare a non-aqueous solvent. Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) as an electrolyte salt was dissolved in the non-aqueous solvent at a concentration of 13 wt%, and 2 wt% of vinylene carbonate (VC) and 0.7 wt% of lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO2F2) were added as cycle performance improving additives to prepare a non-aqueous electrolyte (basic electrolyte, see Table 1 for details).

[0048] Sealing body production

[0049] The terminal cover, valve core, annular insulating plate and terminal plate are stacked to make a sealing body. The valve core and the terminal plate are formed of aluminum plates, and the valve core can deform as the internal pressure of the battery increases. In order to enable the valve core to receive the internal pressure of the battery, a plurality of vents are provided on the terminal plate. If the internal pressure of the battery reaches a specified value, the joint between the valve core and the terminal plate breaks, and the current path inside the sealing body is disconnected. As shown in this experimental example, the current blocking mechanism is composed of the valve core, the insulating plate and the terminal plate.

[0050] Fabrication of non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries

[0051] An upper insulating plate and a lower insulating plate are arranged at the upper and lower parts of the electrode body, respectively, and the electrode body is inserted into the outer can. The negative electrode terminal is connected to the bottom of the outer can, and the positive electrode terminal is connected to the sealing body. After the non-aqueous electrolyte is injected into the interior of the outer can, the sealing body is embedded and fixed to the opening of the outer can with the help of a gasket, thereby making a cylindrical non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery. Five batteries are made under the same conditions, and the results are averaged.

Under the same conditions, 5 batteries were made and the results were averaged. It should be noted that the amount of additives added recorded in Table 1 is expressed as a percentage relative to the mass of the basic electrolyte, and biphenyl (BP) is removed by vacuum distillation to remove impurities. Gas chromatography, moisture meter, acid-base titrator, and turbidity method are used to set the purity of the additives, as well as the content of impurities, moisture, acidity, and chloride ions of each component (see Table 2).

Under the same conditions, 5 batteries were made and the results were averaged. It should be noted that the amount of diphenyl carbonate (DPC) added recorded in Table 1 is expressed as a percentage relative to the mass of the basic electrolyte. Diphenyl carbonate (DPC) is removed from impurities by the following vacuum distillation, and specific compounds are used to adjust the impurity content. Gas chromatography, moisture meter, acid-base titrator, and turbidity method are used to set the purity of the additive, as well as the content of impurities, moisture, acidity, and chloride ions of each component.

Under the same conditions, 5 batteries were made and the results were averaged. It should be noted that the amount of triphenyl phosphate (TPP) added recorded in Table 1 is expressed as a percentage relative to the mass of the basic electrolyte. Triphenyl phosphate (TPP) is removed from impurities by vacuum distillation, and specific compounds are used to adjust the impurity content. Gas chromatography, moisture meter, acid-base titrator, and turbidity method are used to set the purity of the additive, as well as the content of impurities, moisture, acidity, and chloride ions of each component.
