Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, lithium-ion batteries, due to their stable cycling and scalable production, are widely used in digital devices, electric vehicles, energy storage devices, and other fields, and their market share continues to expand. However, with the increase in battery voltage and the demand for extreme application scenarios, higher requirements are being placed on electrolyte parameters such as dielectric constant, conductivity, and liquid range, requiring formulation adjustments to meet these requirements. Lithium salts and additives are important components of battery electrolytes and directly impact battery performance. Regarding additives, a new type of peroxide compound is being increasingly used in electrolytes to reduce impedance, but this increases acidity during cycling, resulting in a reduction in cycle life. Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) is currently being commercialized on a large scale due to its low price, good ionic conductivity, and excellent solubility. However, LiPF6 decomposes more rapidly in acidic conditions. Consequently, electrolytes using peroxide compounds as additives experience rapid consumption of the lithium hexafluorophosphate, leading to reduced cycling performance. Therefore, achieving a balance between impedance reduction and cycle life is a pressing technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

Therefore, by further regulating the conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte, a synergistic effect is achieved between the first additive, the first lithium salt, and the second lithium salt, thereby ultimately improving the electrochemical performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the non-aqueous electrolyte satisfies the following conditions:

[0058] 70≤σ*(b+c)≤150, 0.04≤a / c≤0.4.

[0059] When the mass percentage a of the first additive, the mass percentage b of the first lithium salt, the mass percentage c of the second lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte and the conductivity σ of the non-aqueous electrolyte at 25°C further meet the above conditions, it is beneficial to further improve the cycle life of the lithium-ion battery and reduce the acidity of the non-aqueous electrolyte after circulation.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage a of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte can be 0.001%, 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.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, 0.05≤a≤0.8.

[0062] The first additive is used to improve the film-forming quality of the solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the negative electrode. If the content of the first additive is too low, the impedance reduction effect of the solid electrolyte interface film is limited; if the content of the first additive is too high, the first additive reacts with other components of the non-aqueous electrolyte during the battery charge and discharge cycle, which will cause the acidity of the non-aqueous electrolyte to increase, thereby triggering the decomposition of lithium hexafluorophosphate.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage b of the first lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte can be 2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.2%, 3.5%, 3.8%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 7.8%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19% or a range consisting of any two of these values.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, 5≤b≤15.

[0065] The first lithium salt is selected from lithium hexafluorophosphate and serves as the main lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte to provide active lithium ions. If the content of the first lithium salt is too low, it will affect the ion conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte, increase the impedance of the lithium-ion battery, and cause the capacity of the lithium-ion battery to decrease. If the content of the first lithium salt is too high, the viscosity of the non-aqueous electrolyte will increase, which is not conducive to the wetting effect of the non-aqueous electrolyte on the positive and negative electrodes.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage c of the second lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte can be 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.2%, 3.5%, 3.8%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 7.8%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10% or a range consisting of any two of these values.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, 2≤c≤8.

[0068] The second lithium salt is selected from at least one of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide and lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and serves as an auxiliary lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte. The fluoride ions in the second lithium salt have strong electron-withdrawing properties, which weakens the coordination between the anions and cations of the lithium salt, enhances ion mobility, and thereby increases the conductivity of the electrolyte. More importantly, the coordination between the second lithium salt and the first additive can reduce the impact of the first additive on the acidity of the non-aqueous electrolyte. If the content of the second lithium salt is too low, it will be difficult to suppress the increase in the acidity of the non-aqueous electrolyte; if the content of the second lithium salt is too high, it will affect the high-temperature cycling performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, the conductivity σ of the non-aqueous electrolyte at 25° C. can be 6 mS / cm, 6.5 mS / cm, 7 mS / cm, 7.5 mS / cm, 7.8 mS / cm, 8 mS / cm, 8.5 mS / cm, 9 mS / cm, 9.5 mS / cm, 10 mS / cm, 10.5 mS / cm, 11 mS / cm, 11.5 mS / cm, 12 mS / cm, or a range consisting of any two of these values.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, 7≤σ≤12.

[0071] The control of the electrical conductivity σ of the non-aqueous electrolyte is used to regulate the solvation structure of the first lithium salt and the second lithium salt to ensure the coordination between the second lithium salt and the first additive. If the electrical conductivity σ of the non-aqueous electrolyte at 25°C is too low, the non-aqueous electrolyte has poor kinetic performance, the fast charging performance of the lithium-ion battery is poor, and the electrolyte viscosity is high, which will also affect the adsorption and film-forming effect of the first additive on the negative electrode surface; if the electrical conductivity σ of the non-aqueous electrolyte at 25°C is high, the non-aqueous electrolyte has poor thermal stability and the high-temperature performance of the lithium-ion battery is deteriorated.

[0072] The conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte can be detected using a conductivity meter.

[0073] The conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte is mainly affected by the ion concentration, solvent polarity, electrolyte viscosity, and additives. The conductivity of the electrolyte can be controlled by adjusting the ratio of lithium salt to non-aqueous organic solvent in the electrolyte, the composition of the non-aqueous organic solvent, the selection of additives, etc.

The upper limit is generally 90% by volume or less, preferably 85% by volume or less, and more preferably 80% by volume or less.

The content of the sulfone solvent is not particularly limited and is arbitrary within the range that does not significantly damage the effect of the lithium ion battery of the present invention.

The solvent composition was adjusted and the conductivity was tested and recorded in Table 1.

[0168] Performance Testing

[0169] The lithium-ion battery prepared above was subjected to the following performance tests:

[0170] 1. Normal temperature cycle performance test: At 25°C, charge and discharge the lithium-ion battery at a current of 1C, and calculate the capacity retention rate using the following formula:

[0171] Capacity retention rate (%) = (discharge capacity of the last cycle / discharge capacity of the first cycle) × 100%. Record the number of cycles until the capacity retention rate reaches 70%.

[0172] 2. After the battery capacity is divided, take the electrolyte and test its acidity using tri-n-propylamine titration to obtain the initial acidity. After 2000 cycles of performance testing at room temperature, disassemble the battery to take electrolyte samples and test their acidity to obtain the post-cycle acidity. Calculate the acidity growth rate using the following formula:

[0173] Acidity growth rate (%) = (acidity after 2000 cycles - initial acidity) / initial acidity × 100%.

[0174] 3. Normal temperature cycle impedance growth rate test: Test the initial impedance of the battery before normal temperature cycling, and test the battery impedance after 2000 cycles at normal temperature. Normal temperature cycle impedance growth rate (%) = (battery impedance after 2000 cycles / initial impedance before cycling) × 100%.

[0175] Impedance test: At 25°C, use a battery with a SOC of 50% and an electrochemical workstation instrument for testing. Set the frequency range to 1MHz-1mHz and the constant voltage perturbation amplitude to 5mV. Record the experimental data. The first data point with an imaginary part of 0 corresponds to the real part R1, and the second data point with a slope of 0 corresponds to the real part R2. Impedance = R2-R1.

[0176] (1) The test results obtained in Examples 1 to 18 and Comparative Examples 1 to 15 are entered in Table 2.

[0177] Table 2

[0178]

[0179] It can be seen from the test results of Examples 1 to 18 and Comparative Examples 1 to 15 that when the compound represented by Structural Formula 1 is used as the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, lithium hexafluorophosphate is used as the first lithium salt, at least one of lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide or lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide is used as the second lithium salt, and the mass percentage a of the first additive, the mass percentage b of the first lithium salt, the mass percentage c of the second lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte, and the conductivity σ of the non-aqueous electrolyte at 25° C. satisfy the conditions 45≤σ*(b+c)≤220, 0.01≤a / c≤0.8, and 0.001≤a≤1, 2≤b≤19, 1≤c≤10, and 6≤σ≤13, the obtained non-aqueous electrolyte has a lower acidity increase after cycling, which can reduce the deterioration of the properties of the non-aqueous electrolyte, improve the cycle life of the lithium-ion battery, and reduce impedance growth. It is speculated that during the battery formation process, some compounds shown in structural formula 1 form a film on the negative electrode surface before the non-aqueous organic solvent, which is beneficial to improve the composition of the solid electrolyte interface film on the negative electrode surface, reduce impedance, and improve its fast charging performance; and the unreacted compound shown in structural formula 1 plays a role in repairing the solid electrolyte interface film during the cycle, but it is easy to react to generate acid, resulting in the decomposition of lithium hexafluorophosphate. By adding lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and / or lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide as the second lithium salt, the second lithium salt can prevent the compound shown in structural formula 1 from reacting with lithium hexafluorophosphate to generate HF and PF5, and FSI is replaced by HF. - The second lithium salt is coordinated with the compound shown in the structural formula 1 to reduce the acidity of the electrolyte. At the same time, the solvation structure of the second lithium salt affects the interaction between the compound shown in the structural formula 1 and the second lithium salt. The solvation structure of the second lithium salt can reduce the acidity of the electrolyte. + With FSI - The coordination effect of - The second lithium salt forms a coordinated bond with the compound represented by Structural Formula 1. The solvation structure of the second lithium salt is directly related to the conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte. Therefore, by further controlling the conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte, the first additive, the first lithium salt, and the second lithium salt achieve a synergistic effect, ultimately improving the electrochemical performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0180] From the test results of Examples 1 to 18, it can be seen that when the mass percentage a of the first additive, the mass percentage b of the first lithium salt, the mass percentage c of the second lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte and the conductivity σ of the non-aqueous electrolyte at 25°C meet the conditions 70≤σ*(b+c)≤150, 0.04≤a / c≤0.4, and 0.005≤a≤0.8, 5≤b≤15, 2≤c≤8, 7≤σ≤12, it is beneficial to further suppress the increase in acidity of the non-aqueous electrolyte and extend the cycle life of the lithium-ion battery.

[0181] The test results of Comparative Examples 1 to 15 show that when the mass percentage a of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, the mass percentage b of the first lithium salt, the mass percentage c of the second lithium salt, and the conductivity σ of the non-aqueous electrolyte at 25°C do not meet their range limits, even if the conditions 45≤σ*(b+c)≤220 and 0.01≤a / c≤0.8 are met, the lithium-ion battery still does not have good cycle performance and low impedance performance, indicating that the values of a, b, c, and σ are strongly correlated in improving the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries. Similarly, when the values of a, b, c, and σ meet their range limits, but the values of σ*(b+c) or a / c do not meet the above-mentioned preset conditions, the stability of the non-aqueous electrolyte and the cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery cannot be effectively improved.

[0185] From the test results of Examples 1 and 19 to 24, it can be seen that in the electrolyte system provided by the present invention, under the conditions of satisfying 45≤σ*(b+c)≤220, 0.01≤a / c≤0.8, and 0.001≤a≤1, 2≤b≤19, 1≤c≤10, 6≤σ≤13, the use of different first additives and second lithium salts has a certain effect on improving the cycle life of the lithium-ion battery, and at the same time can inhibit the increase in acidity of the non-aqueous electrolyte and the increase in impedance of the lithium-ion battery, indicating that the electrolyte system provided by the present invention is suitable for different first additives and second lithium salts.

[0186] (3) The test results obtained in Examples 1, 25 to 28 are entered in Table 4.

[0188]

[0189] The test results of Examples 1 and 25 to 28 show that further adding other additives (such as DTD, FEC, LiBOB, and LiODFB) to the electrolyte system provided by the present invention can further improve the cycle life of the lithium-ion battery and reduce the impedance of the lithium-ion battery. This indicates that the performance improvement mechanism of the other additives for lithium-ion batteries is different from that of the first additive. Further adding other additives is beneficial for improving the performance of the lithium-ion battery from different aspects.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
