Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium battery electrolytes, and in particular relates to an ultra-low temperature electrolyte suitable for a ternary high-energy-density soft-pack lithium-ion battery system. Background Art

[0002] With the vigorous development of the new energy industry, people have increasingly stringent requirements on the use and performance of lithium-ion batteries. The operating temperature range of traditional lithium-ion batteries is -20 to +55°C. When the temperature is below -20°C, the cycle stability, service life and safety of lithium-ion batteries are seriously affected. It is difficult for lithium-ion batteries to work in low-temperature environments in winter in low-latitude areas, and they are even less capable of meeting the requirements for energy storage and release in ultra-low temperature areas such as polar regions and space.

[0003] In addition, as the market demands high energy density, excellent low temperature, rate performance and cycle life, and high safety performance of lithium-ion batteries, simply using ordinary electrolytes to adapt lithium iron phosphate batteries or ternary batteries cannot meet the above performance. In particular, it is difficult to prepare lithium-ion batteries that have high energy density, long cycle life and excellent safety performance under ultra-low temperature conditions.

[0004] The performance challenges faced by lithium-ion batteries in low temperature environments mainly stem from the lithium-ion transport kinetics, including the transport of lithium ions in the electrolyte, the desolvation of lithium ions at the interface, the passage of lithium ions through the SEI (solid electrolyte interface) membrane, and the diffusion of lithium ions in the electrode material. Compared with room temperature conditions, the discharge capacity and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries in low temperature environments (≤-20°C) will be significantly reduced. This phenomenon is mainly attributed to the following aspects: 1. The liquid phase ion conductivity of the electrolyte decreases; 2. The characteristics of the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte change; 3. The charge transfer rate slows down and the desolvation process of lithium ions is hindered; 4. The growth of lithium dendrites exists.

[0005] Specifically, the existing ternary high-energy-density soft-pack lithium-ion battery system has the following main problems under low temperature conditions:

[0006] 1. Insufficient battery life: In extremely cold environments, due to the decrease in energy density, the battery life of ternary high-energy-density batteries is shortened. This is a key obstacle for equipment that needs to work under extreme climatic conditions, such as polar exploration equipment, electric vehicles, and military equipment.

[0007] 2. Battery performance degradation: In low temperature environments, the viscosity of the electrolyte increases, making it difficult for lithium ions to migrate in the electrolyte, resulting in reduced ion conductivity. The internal resistance of the battery increases, ion transmission is blocked during the charge and discharge process, and the battery's charge and discharge performance deteriorates.

[0008] 3. Increased charge transfer impedance: At low temperatures, the activation energy of the charge transfer process increases, resulting in an increase in charge transfer impedance. This means that on the electrode surface, it becomes difficult for lithium ions to embed into or escape from the electrolyte into the electrode material, affecting the battery's charge and discharge efficiency and reversibility.

[0009] 4. Lithium deposition at the negative electrode: During low-temperature charging, even at low rates, the embedding speed of lithium ions in the negative electrode will slow down, and lithium metal deposition is likely to form on the surface of the negative electrode, which is also known as lithium deposition. The deposited lithium metal cannot be reversibly stripped off, forming "dead" lithium, resulting in reduced battery capacity, and lithium metal deposition may cause internal short circuits in the battery, posing a safety hazard.

[0010] 5. Electrolyte coagulation problem: The solvents used in ordinary electrolytes tend to coagulate at ultra-low temperatures. For example, the coagulation point of common solvents such as ethylene carbonate is relatively high. When the electrolyte coagulates, the battery cannot carry out normal ion transmission, causing the battery to not work properly.

[0011] 6. Battery safety issues: Low temperature conditions not only affect battery performance, but may also lead to safety risks such as thermal runaway due to improper charge and discharge management. If the battery is in an inappropriate charge and discharge state for a long time at low temperatures, it may cause safety issues such as thermal runaway.

[0012] Therefore, the development of ultra-low temperature electrolytes that are compatible with ternary high-energy-density soft-pack lithium-ion batteries is of great significance for opening up a wider market and more extensive applications. Summary of the invention

[0013] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an ultra-low temperature electrolyte suitable for a ternary high-energy-density soft-pack lithium-ion battery system.

[0014] The present invention not only uses linear carbonate and linear carboxylic acid ester with low freezing point as solvent to replace or partially replace carbonate solvent with high freezing point to reduce the viscosity of electrolyte, but also adjusts Li + The desolvation process improves the antioxidant properties of the electrolyte and optimizes the SEI stability. In addition, the lithium ion conductivity is improved by increasing the electrolyte salt content, and a multi-component film-forming additive is added to construct a stable SEI film with high ionic conductivity on the surface of the silicon negative electrode. The compatibility of the mixed solvent and the carbon-based negative electrode is improved, and the interfacial reaction kinetics are accelerated, thereby improving the low-temperature performance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0031] The lithium difluorooxalate borate accounts for 0-0.5% by mass of the electrolyte.

[0032] As a further optimization scheme for the above-mentioned ultra-low temperature electrolyte, the functional additives are selected from one or more of low-temperature additives, positive and negative electrode film-forming additives, and water-removing and acid-inhibiting additives.

[0033] As a further optimization solution for the above ultra-low temperature electrolyte, the functional additives include:

[0054] The solvent used in the present invention enables the electrolyte to have a wide electrochemical stability window and low desolvation energy. The electrolyte adds carboxylic acid esters, fluorinated carboxylic acid esters and fluorinated carbonates to cyclic carbonates and linear carbonates, which can increase the oxidation and reduction potentials of the solvent, improve its anti-oxidation stability, and provide a certain degree of flame retardancy, while retaining its low freezing point and low viscosity characteristics. In addition, since the dielectric constants of linear carboxylic acid ester solvents and fluorinated carboxylic acid esters are lower than those of commercial carbonate solvents such as EC and PC, when the lithium salt is sufficiently dissolved, the interaction between the solvent and lithium ions is greatly reduced, and the desolvation energy is reduced.

[0055] The electrolyte of the present invention is used in conjunction with a ternary high-energy-density soft-pack lithium-ion battery, which is not only suitable for special application scenarios with high requirements for driving range, but also shows good compatibility with electrode materials in terms of performance, can form a good interface contact with the surface of the high-nickel positive electrode, promote the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, and can effectively inhibit the expansion of the high-silicon negative electrode and the lithium precipitation phenomenon at low temperatures, reducing the potential safety hazards of the battery. The electrolyte is mixed with a new electrolyte salt and a film-forming additive, and a low-impedance and stable SEI film with a higher inorganic content is constructed on the surface of the negative electrode, and the interface reaction kinetics are accelerated, which has a significant improvement effect on the low-temperature charge and discharge performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0076] Table 1 Electrochemical properties of low-temperature electrolytes of Examples and Comparative Examples

[0077]

[0078] Table 1 shows that the electrolyte prepared in the embodiment is suitable for ternary high-energy-density soft-pack lithium-ion batteries, can be continuously discharged at an ultra-low temperature of -40°C, and has good comprehensive performance in high temperature and cycle.

[0079] Further comparison of the electrical performance test data in Table 1 shows that the addition of co-solvents DMC and carboxylic acid esters to conventional electrolytes has no significant adverse effect on battery capacity and first efficiency, and an appropriate increase in the amount of carboxylic acid ester has no significant effect on battery capacity and first efficiency. Comparison of Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Example 2 shows that the battery capacity has a greater impact on low-temperature discharge capacity and high-temperature storage performance. Comparison of Examples 2 to 3 with Comparative Example 1 shows that the addition of carboxylic acid esters to the electrolyte can further improve the low-temperature discharge capacity retention rate of the battery. Comparison of Example 2 and Example 3 shows that increasing the carboxylic acid ester content in the electrolyte improves the low-temperature discharge capacity retention rate of the battery, and has little effect on high-temperature storage performance. Comparison of Example 1 with Comparative Example 1 shows that the addition of DMC to the electrolyte improves the low-temperature discharge capacity retention rate of the battery at -20°C, reduces the low-temperature discharge capacity retention rate of the battery at -40°C, and reduces the high-temperature storage performance. Comparison of Example 2 and Example 4 shows that the low-temperature discharge capacity retention rate of the fluorinated carboxylic acid ester battery with a solvent ratio of 15% is reduced, which has little effect on high-temperature storage performance.
