Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of battery energy storage technology, and in particular relates to a sodium ion battery electrolyte additive, an electrolyte and a sodium ion battery. Background Art

[0002] As the next generation of rechargeable batteries, sodium-ion batteries have the advantages of abundant resources and low cost, and their working principle is similar to that of lithium-ion batteries, which has attracted more and more attention and research. However, due to the large molecular weight of sodium (22.99g / mol vs. 6.94g / mol) and higher potential (-2.71V vs. -3.04V relative to standard hydrogen electrode), the energy density of sodium-ion batteries is severely restricted. In order to obtain high energy density, the positive electrode needs to be charged to a high voltage region (>4.0V vs. Na + / Na) to release more sodium ions, but conventional electrolytes are prone to oxidative decomposition on the surface of the cathode with strong catalytic activity under high voltage, producing byproducts such as CO2, H2O, and polymers, causing problems such as thickening of the cathode / electrolyte interface (CEI) film and increased impedance. At the same time, the volume change of the cathode material is large under high voltage, which further aggravates the rupture of the CEI film and the occurrence of electrode / electrolyte parasitic reactions, leading to interface reconstruction and capacity decay. Therefore, a stable cathode / electrolyte interface under high voltage is constructed to improve the electrochemical performance of the battery.

[0003] Existing electrolyte additives generally form an interfacial film through preferential oxidation decomposition to improve the cycle stability of the battery. However, during long-term high-voltage cycles, the continuous volume change of the positive electrode particles and the corrosion of acid species under high pressure will create the risk of CEI rupture. Therefore, the consumption of electrolyte exposed on the positive electrode surface is aggravated, accelerating the capacity decay. At the same time, the electrochemical window of the electrolyte prepared by existing additives is narrow, which in turn affects its application. Therefore, it is necessary to develop additives with excellent comprehensive performance to expand the scope of application. Summary of the invention

[0036] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a sodium ion battery electrolyte additive, wherein the additive has a chemical structure shown in formula (1):

[0037]
