Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and in particular to a high-voltage stable electrolyte and a lithium battery. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, lithium batteries are widely used in electric vehicles, electronic equipment and other fields as high-performance secondary batteries. However, when existing lithium batteries work in a high-voltage environment, the stability of their electrolytes is often affected, resulting in a decrease in battery performance and even safety hazards. Therefore, the development of a high-voltage stable electrolyte has become a research hotspot in the current field of lithium battery technology.

[0003] At present, the electrolytes on the market are mainly composed of organic solvents, lithium salts and additives. Although these electrolytes meet the use requirements of lithium batteries to a certain extent, their stability in high voltage environments still needs to be improved.

[0004] Invention patent publication number CN118522940A discloses a lithium metal battery and a high-voltage electrolyte thereof. The high-voltage electrolyte includes a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt and an electrolyte additive; the non-aqueous organic solvent includes any two or three of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate and dimethyl carbonate, the lithium salt includes at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium perchlorate, lithium hexafluoroarsenate, lithium bis(oxalate)borate, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, and the electrolyte additive is a halogenated phthalonitrile. The electrolyte can obtain a high mechanical stability and thermal stability CEI rich in LiF and -CN and a strong SEI layer rich in inorganic components such as LiF, Li2O and CN on the surface of the NCM811 cathode. The favorable CEI / SEI layer greatly reduces the decomposition of the electrolyte and the degradation of the electrode, and can effectively improve the high-voltage cycle stability of the lithium metal battery. However, after long-term high-voltage cycling, the SEI film containing inorganic components such as LiF, Li2O and CN and the stability of the SEI film will decrease to a certain extent, resulting in poor long-term stability of the battery prepared with this electrolyte under high voltage. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the problem of poor long-term stability of batteries prepared by electrolyte under high voltage, the purpose of this application is to provide a high-voltage stable electrolyte.

[0006] In the first aspect, the present application provides a high-voltage stable electrolyte using the following technical solution: A high-voltage stable electrolyte comprises: an organic solvent, a lithium salt and an additive, wherein the organic solvent comprises sulfate-modified toluenesulfonyl and a carbonate compound; the additive comprises 3-bromofuran and a diluent; The preparation process of the sulfate-modified tosyl is as follows: Preparation of hydroxytoluene sulfone; Add sulfur trioxide trimethylamine complex and pyridine to a methanol solution of sodium hydroxide, stir until dissolved, then add hydroxytoluene sulfone and disperse evenly, heat the mixture, and use a reflux device to reflux the gaseous evaporated material, react for 7-8 hours, and cool to room temperature after the reaction is completed. After filtering out the reaction product, adjust the pH to neutral, and wash with water and dry to obtain sulfate-modified toluenesulfonyl.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the battery is charged for the first time, the negative electrode material reacts with the electrolyte to form a SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode material. The SEI film can isolate the electrode from the electrolyte while allowing lithium ions to freely enter and exit, thereby maintaining the normal operation of the battery. Sulfate-modified toluenesulfonyl as part of the organic solvent and 3-bromofuran as part of the additive have better reducibility than carbonate compounds and diluents. After the negative electrode reacts with the electrode material, they are preferentially reduced and deposited on the negative electrode to form a SEI film, so that carbonate and diluent can remain in the electrolyte solvent, maintaining the ion conductivity of the solvent, and the SEI film formed by the reduction of sulfate-modified toluenesulfonyl as the main body and 3-bromofuran has better stability, will not be dissolved and corroded under long-term high-voltage environment, and maintains the embedding site of lithium ions. The sulfur trioxide trimethylamine complex can introduce sulfur trioxide in a liquid environment, and under the catalysis of pyridine, form a sulfate group with the hydroxyl group, thereby connecting the sulfonyl group and the sulfate group. Through the synergistic effect of the sulfate group and the sulfate group, the formed SEI film can maintain the stability of the lithium ion embedding site under high pressure, and under the joint action of 3-bromofuran, the structural stability of the SEI film can be maintained, which can resist the erosion of the electrolyte and maintain the capacity stability of the lithium battery for a long time.

[0008] Optionally, the volume ratio of the sulfate-modified toluenesulfonyl and the carbonate compound is 1:(1.5-3.5); the molecular weight ratio of 3-bromofuran and is 1:(1-2); the mass ratio of the organic solvent, lithium salt and additive is between 1:(1.2-2.8):(0.05-0.25).

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution and limiting the proportion of each component within a suitable range, the electrolyte can form a passivation film with excellent properties while ensuring the normal conduction of lithium ions in the electrolyte and the normal operation of the lithium-ion battery.

[0010] Optionally, the molar ratio of the hydroxytoluene sulfone to the trimethylamine sulfur trioxide complex is between 1:(1.1-1.3), and the mass ratio of the hydroxytoluene sulfone to the pyridine is between 1:(0.03-0.18).

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the molar number of hydroxytoluene sulfone is small, ensuring that the hydroxyl groups can be reacted with sulfur trioxide to form sulfate groups. By limiting the amount of pyridine, the reaction can proceed at a suitable rate, ensuring the stability of the product.

[0012] Optionally, the carbonate compound is selected from one or more of dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dipropyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, methyl propyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, ethylene propylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate and vinylene carbonate; the lithium salt is selected from one or more of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium perchlorate, lithium hexafluoroarsenate, lithium bisoxalatoborate, lithium difluorooxalatoborate, trifluoromethylsulfonyl lithium, lithium bisfluorosulfonyl imide, lithium bisoxalatoborate, lithium bisfluorosulfonyl imide and lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide; and the diluent is selected from one or more of fluorobenzene, fluoromethane, fluoroethane, fluoropropane, methyl chloride, ethyl chloride, chloropropane, methyl bromide, ethyl bromide and bromopropane.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, by using the above carbonate compounds, lithium salts and diluents, the electrolyte can stably perform the performance of transmitting lithium ions, and can maintain good fluidity and transmission properties under high and low temperature conditions, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the lithium-ion battery.

[0014] Optionally, the preparation method of the hydroxytoluene sulfone is as follows: Sodium p-toluenesulfinate is added to water to obtain a first solution, alkynes are added to the methanol mixture to obtain a second solution, the first solution and the second solution are mixed, and an iron salt catalyst is added, and the reaction is carried out at 35-90° C. for 12-18 hours to obtain an intermediate product; lithium aluminum hydride is added to the intermediate product, stirring is maintained, and the temperature is maintained at 25-35° C., and the reaction is carried out for 3-6 hours, and then hydroxytoluene sulfone is obtained after filtering, distillation, and washing with water.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, sodium p-toluenesulfinate and alkyne are reacted to generate a sulfone compound, and the carbonyl group is reduced to a hydroxyl group through a selective hydrogenation reaction of lithium aluminum hydride, so that the sulfone group is respectively connected to toluene and a carbon chain with a hydroxyl group, and the sulfone group can react with a sulfur trioxide trimethylamine complex through the hydroxyl group, thereby connecting to a sulfate group.

[0016] Optionally, the molar ratio of the alkyne to the sodium p-toluenesulfinate is between (1.1-1.3):1, and the mass ratio of the iron salt catalyst to the alkyne is between (0.05-0.25):1.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, by adding excess alkyne in the reaction, the sodium p-toluenesulfinate can be completely reacted, and the remaining alkyne can be discharged from the system together with distillation and filtration in the subsequent treatment. The ratio of the iron salt catalyst to the alkyne is limited to a suitable range, so that the sodium p-toluenesulfinate and the alkyne can react stably and avoid the generation of by-products.

[0018] Optionally, the iron salt catalyst is selected from one of ferric chloride, ferric bromide and ferrous chloride, and the metal catalyst is selected from one of platinum, palladium and nickel.

[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, the iron salt catalyst is used to catalyze the reaction of sodium p-toluenesulfinate and alkyne. Although the activity of the carbon-carbon triple bond is relatively high, the activity of the sulfinic acid group is relatively low. In an environment without a catalyst, the reaction rate of the two is relatively slow. By adding an iron salt catalyst including ferric chloride, ferric tribromide and ferrous chloride, the state of the sulfinic acid group is changed, the reaction activity is improved, and the synthesis reaction can be carried out quickly.

[0020] Optionally, the alkyne is selected from one or more of acetylene, propyne, butyne, n-pentyne and isopentyne.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, alkynes are used to connect carbon chains to sulfinic acid groups to form sulfonyl groups. By adopting different types of alkynes, the form of the carbon chain connected to the sulfonyl group can be changed, and the form of the carbon chain will affect the properties of hydroxytoluene sulfone. By using acetylene, propyne, butyne, n-pentyne and isopentyne as reaction raw materials, the carbon chain connected to the sulfonyl group will not be too long, so that the hydroxyl group can maintain a better distance from the sulfonyl group, and after the sulfate ester group is subsequently connected, the sulfonyl group can maintain a better distance from the sulfate ester group, play a synergistic role, and improve the properties of the electrolyte.

[0022] Optionally, the preparation method of the high-voltage stable electrolyte is as follows: Preparation of sulfate-modified tosyl; Mixing the sulfate-modified toluenesulfonyl and the carbonate compound at a temperature of 30-35° C. for 10-30 minutes to obtain an organic solvent; Add lithium salt, 3-bromofuran and a diluent into an organic solvent, mix for 20-40 minutes at a temperature of 25-45° C., and obtain an electrolyte.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the sulfate-modified toluenesulfonyl can be mixed with carbonate compounds to form a uniform liquid as a solvent, which can effectively improve the dissolving capacity of the organic solvent. Lithium salt, 3-bromofuran as an additive, and a diluent are added to the organic solvent so that the components of the electrolyte can be mixed evenly to form a solution with a consistent phase, thereby improving the stability of the electrolyte.

[0024] In the second aspect, the present application provides a lithium battery adopting the following technical solution: A lithium battery using the above-mentioned high-voltage stable electrolyte.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, during the initial discharge, the chemically stable SEI film produced by the electrolyte and the negative electrode, and the CEI film that is difficult to fall off, are produced at the positive electrode. After multiple cycles of the battery, both the SEI film and the CEI film can maintain better properties to maintain the impedance stability of the electrode, thereby ensuring the long-term normal operation of the battery in a high-voltage environment.

[0026] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Sulfate-modified toluenesulfonyl as part of the organic solvent and 3-bromofuran as part of the additive have better reducibility than carbonate compounds and diluents. After the negative electrode reacts with the electrode material, they are preferentially reduced and deposited on the negative electrode to form an SEI film, so that carbonate and diluent can remain in the electrolyte solvent, maintaining the ion conductivity of the solvent. The SEI film formed by the reduction of sulfate-modified toluenesulfonyl as the main body and 3-bromofuran has better stability. In a long-term high-voltage environment, it will not be dissolved and corroded, maintaining the embedding site of lithium ions and maintaining the capacity of the lithium battery for a long time. 2. Sodium p-toluenesulfinate is reacted with alkynes to generate sulfone compounds, and the carbonyl group is reduced to a hydroxyl group by a selective hydrogenation reaction of lithium aluminum hydride, so that the sulfone group is connected to toluene and a carbon chain with a hydroxyl group, respectively, so that the sulfone group can react with a sulfur trioxide trimethylamine complex through the hydroxyl group, thereby connecting to a sulfate group; 3.
