Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and in particular relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte and a secondary battery. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have excellent charge and discharge characteristics and are one of the electrochemical energy storage technologies favored by the new energy industry in recent years. Considering the cost of use and the convenience of application, users have higher requirements for the calendar life and service life of lithium-ion batteries. For the energy storage industry, due to the service life of more than ten years, the cycle charge and discharge life of the battery is usually thousands or even tens of thousands of times. At the same time, it is also necessary to meet the requirements of stable storage performance and slow enough calendar decay during the use cycle. The existing patent KR1020030033598A mentions that the addition of peroxide to the electrolyte can dissolve in the electrolyte by generating CO2 gas, and CO2 participates in the formation of a film on the surface of the cathode plate, thereby inhibiting the solvent decomposition of the electrolyte and improving the charge and discharge performance. However, this improvement in battery performance is not very obvious. The main reason is that peroxide will cause the acidity of the electrolyte to increase. It may be that the peroxide attacks the end group of the carbonate solvent at high temperature to produce protonated intermediates. At the same time, peroxide produces too much CO2 that dissolves in the electrolyte. The dissolved CO2 combines with the protonated intermediates to transform into acidic products, increasing the acidity of the electrolyte, deteriorating the electrolyte performance and battery interface performance, and also deteriorating the high-temperature performance of the battery, thereby offsetting its film-forming gain effect, and thus limiting the improvement in the overall battery performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0017] An embodiment of the present invention provides a non-aqueous electrolyte, comprising a non-aqueous organic solvent, an electrolyte salt and an additive, wherein the non-aqueous organic solvent comprises ethylene carbonate, the additive comprises a first additive and a second additive, the first additive comprises a compound represented by structural formula 1, and the second additive comprises one or both of acetone and tert-butyl alcohol; ; wherein n is 0 or 1; R1 and R2 are each independently selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C12 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 aryl, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C12 acyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkoxyacyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 ether, and R1 and R2 are not are hydrogen at the same time, R1 and R2 may be connected to each other to form a ring or not; R3 is selected from substituted or unsubstituted C1-C12 alkylene, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkenylene, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 alkynylene, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 aryl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C12 ether; when R1, R2, and R3 are substituted, the substituent is alkoxy, hydroxyl, acyl, ester, cyano or halogen; The non-aqueous electrolyte meets the following conditions: 1≤a / c≤100,0.1≤ ≤2.5, and 0.001≤a≤1, 10≤b≤40, 0.001≤c≤0.03; Wherein, a is the mass percentage of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, in units of %; b is the mass percentage of ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte, unit is %; c is the mass percentage of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, in %.

[0018] The inventors have found that in the above electrolyte system, when the mass percentage a of the first additive, the mass percentage b of the ethylene carbonate and the mass percentage c of the second additive meet the conditions 1≤a / c≤100, 0.1≤ ≤2.5, and 0.001≤a≤1, 10≤b≤40, 0.001≤c≤0.03, the obtained lithium ion battery has a high cycle capacity retention rate and high temperature storage performance, indicating that the addition of the first additive, ethylene carbonate and the second additive has a mutual influence on the improvement of the performance of the lithium ion battery. The mechanism is speculated to be: in the battery formation stage, the compound shown in structural formula 1 reacts with ethylene carbonate to generate CO2, and CO2 participates in the formation of the solid electrolyte film on the electrode surface to increase the content of Li2CO3 in the solid electrolyte film, which is beneficial to improve the mechanical strength and high temperature resistance of the solid electrolyte film. At the same time, acetone and / or tert-butyl alcohol are added as the second additive, and the second additive can be adsorbed on the negative electrode surface, and at high temperature, it forms a carbon-oxygen double bond intermediate on the negative electrode surface with the first additive to participate in the electrode surface coating, consume part of the first additive and improve the interface stability, inhibit the first additive from excessively generating CO2 and acidic products, and thus eliminate the adverse effects of the first additive.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the non-aqueous electrolyte satisfies the following conditions: 5≤a / c≤70,0.2≤ ≤2.2.

[0020] When the mass percentage a of the first additive, the mass percentage b of ethylene carbonate and the mass percentage c of the second additive further meet the above conditions, it is beneficial to further improve the high temperature resistance of the solid electrolyte membrane, thereby improving the high temperature storage performance of the secondary battery.

[0021] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage a% of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte can be 0.001%, 0.002%, 0.005%, 0.008%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.08%, 0.1%, 0.12%, 0.14%, 0.15%, 0.18%, 0.2%, 0.22%, 0.28%, 0.3%, 0.32%, 0.38%, 0.4%, 0.42%, 0.48%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1% or a range consisting of any two of these values.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the mass percentage a% of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 0.005%-0.8%.

[0023] The first additive is used to regulate the formation quality of the solid electrolyte membrane on the electrode surface. If the content of the first additive is too little, it is difficult to substantially improve the high-temperature stability of the solid electrolyte membrane; if the content of the first additive is too much, due to the active nature of the first additive, it will increase the occurrence of undesirable side reactions in the non-aqueous electrolyte, and at the same time lead to excessive production of CO2, affecting the acidity of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage b% of ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte can be 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, 20%, 22.5%, 25%, 27.5%, 30%, 32.5%, 35%, 37.5%, 40% or a range consisting of any two of these values.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the mass percentage b% of ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 15%-35%.

[0026] In the non-aqueous electrolyte, the carbonate solvent dissociates the lithium salt through solvation, and the lithium salt exists in the form of free ions, loose ion pairs, and tight ion pairs, thereby providing the transmission of charge inside the battery. When the content of the carbonate solvent is within the above range, it is beneficial to cooperate with the first additive to increase the content of Li2CO3 in the solid electrolyte membrane, and at the same time, it is beneficial to improve the ionic conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage c% of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte can be 0.001%, 0.002%, 0.005%, 0.008%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03% or a range consisting of any two of these values.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the mass percentage c% of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 0.001%-0.02%.

[0029] The second additive is used to reduce the adverse effects of the first additive and cooperates with the first additive to form a film on the electrode surface. If the content of the second additive is too low, it is difficult to suppress the generation of acidic substances in the non-aqueous electrolyte; if the content of the second additive is too high, the probability of side reactions in the electrolyte increases, which is not conducive to improving the stability of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

[0114] (1) The test results obtained in Examples 1 to 18 and Comparative Examples 1 to 15 are entered in Table 2.

[0115] Table 2

[0116] It can be seen from the test results of Examples 1 to 18 and Comparative Examples 1 to 15 that the compound represented by Structural Formula 1 and the compound represented by Structural Formula 2 are used as the first additive and the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, ethylene carbonate is used as the non-aqueous organic solvent, and the mass percentage a of the first additive, the mass percentage b of ethylene carbonate, and the mass percentage c of the second additive satisfy the conditions 1≤a / c≤100, 0.1≤ ≤2.5, and 0.001≤a≤1, 10≤b≤40, 0.001≤c≤0.03, the obtained lithium ion battery has excellent room temperature cycle performance and high temperature storage performance. It is speculated that in the battery formation stage, the compound shown in structural formula 1 reacts with ethylene carbonate to generate CO2, and CO2 participates in the formation of the solid electrolyte film on the electrode surface to increase the content of Li2CO3 in the solid electrolyte film, which is beneficial to improve the mechanical strength and high temperature resistance of the solid electrolyte film. At the same time, acetone and / or tert-butyl alcohol are added as the second additive, and the second additive can be adsorbed on the negative electrode surface, and form a carbon-oxygen double bond intermediate with the first additive on the negative electrode surface at high temperature to participate in the electrode surface coating, consume part of the first additive and improve the interface stability, inhibit the first additive from excessively generating CO2 and acidic products, and then eliminate the adverse effects of the first additive, and then comprehensively regulate the relative proportions of the first additive, the second additive and ethylene carbonate, which is beneficial to achieve a synergistic state among the three and promote the improvement of the cycle performance and high temperature storage performance of the lithium ion battery.

[0117] It can be seen from the test results of Examples 1 to 18 that when the mass percentage a of the first additive, the mass percentage b of the ethylene carbonate and the mass percentage c of the second additive meet the conditions 5≤a / c≤70, 0.2≤ ≤2.2, and 0.005≤a≤0.8, 15≤b≤35, 0.001≤c≤0.02, it is beneficial to further improve the stability of the solid electrolyte membrane, inhibit the acidity growth of the non-aqueous electrolyte, improve the cycle capacity retention rate and high-temperature storage capacity retention rate of the lithium-ion battery, and reduce the high-temperature storage internal resistance growth rate.

[0118] From the test results of Comparative Examples 1 to 15, it can be seen that when the mass percentage a of the first additive, the mass percentage b of the ethylene carbonate and the mass percentage c of the second additive do not meet the range limits, even if the conditions 1≤a / c≤100, 0.1≤ ≤2.5, the lithium-ion battery still does not have good high-temperature storage performance and room-temperature cycle performance, indicating that the a value, b value or c value has a strong correlation in improving the performance of the passivation film on the positive and negative surfaces of lithium-ion batteries. Similarly, when the a value, b value and c value meet their range limits, but the a / c value or When the value does not meet the above preset conditions, the improvement of battery performance is not obvious.
