Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery technology, and particularly relates to a lithium-ion battery. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of markets such as electronic devices, electric vehicles, smart homes, power tools, and intelligent transportation, the demand for batteries is constantly increasing. Lithium-ion batteries, for example, are widely used in consumer electronics, energy storage and power batteries, and smart homes due to their advantages such as high specific energy, long cycle life, and low self-discharge. Typically, a battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte. The electrolyte usually includes a solvent, a lithium salt electrolyte, and electrolyte additives. Adding electrolyte additives can effectively improve battery performance. However, current electrolyte additives still present problems in practical applications.

[0003] Existing electrolytes are not resistant to high voltage. Electrolyte additives such as FEMC (trifluoroethyl methyl carbonate) have good high-voltage performance and are suitable for use. However, FEMC has too much fluorine substitution, resulting in excessive fluorine content, which enhances molecular polarity, increases electrolyte viscosity, and reduces activity. This leads to excessively low electrolyte ionic conductivity, which in turn affects ion diffusion, increases polarization, reduces constant current capacity, and increases constant voltage capacity. In severe cases, the upper limit voltage is reached immediately after charging, affecting the material's capacity utilization, deteriorating cycle performance, and potentially causing problems such as lithium plating.

The fluorinated organic compound having the structure of Formula I in this invention has a mass content of a in the electrolyte of 0.05 ≤ a ≤ 0.9. The specific values ​​of 'a' are 0.5, 0.51, 0.52, 0.53, 0.54, 0.55, 0.56, 0.57, 0.58, 0.59, 0.60, 0.61, 0.62, 0.63, 0.64, 0.65, 0.66, 0.67, 0.68, 0.69, 0.70, 0.71, 0.72, 0.73, 0.74, 0.75, 0.76, 0.77, 0.78, 0.79, 0.80, 0.81, 0.82, 0.83, 0.84, 0.85, 0.86, 0.87, 0.88, 0.89, or 0.9.

[0034] In this invention, the preferred value of 'a' is 0.58 ≤ a ≤ 0.85; within this preferred range, the battery DCR growth rate is lower and the cycle life is better. Specifically, the value of 'a' is 0.741, 0.582, 0.849, 0.605, 0.751, 0.578, 0.852, 0.848, 0.581, 0.592, 0.701, 0.554, 0.501, 0.509, 0.859, 0.898, 0.722, 0.731, 0.591, 0.501, 0.834, 0.694, 0.749, 0.589, 0.582, 0.788, 0.692, 0.85, 0.581, or 0.742.

[0035] The fluorinated organic compound having the structure of Formula I described in this invention was purchased from Hebei Shengtai Materials Co., Ltd.

[0036] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the fluorinated organic compound having the structure of Formula I is shown as Formula 101, Formula 102, or Formula 103:

[0037]

[0038] The electrolyte of this invention comprises, by mass percentage, 5-90% fluorinated organic compound having the structure of Formula I, 8-85% solvent, 2-15% lithium salt, and 0.5-2% additives; the additives are selected from one or more of vinyl sulfate (DTD), 1,3-propenesulfonyl lactone (PST), 1,3-propanesulfonyl lactone (PS), lithium difluorooxalate borate (LiODFB), lithium dioxalate borate (LiBOB), and lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO2F2).

[0039] The lithium-ion battery provided by this invention includes a battery cell, the battery cell including a negative electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet including a negative electrode active material, the negative electrode active material including graphite, and in a specific embodiment, the graphite being artificial graphite; the degree of graphite ordering of the graphite is b; the degree of graphite ordering of the graphite in this invention is determined according to the following method:

[0040] In this invention, after disassembling the empty battery, the negative electrode sheet is removed, and 2 grams of negative electrode powder is scraped off. The negative electrode powder is soaked in DMC for 6 hours and then dried at 80°C for 240 minutes. The powder sample is then spread evenly on a glass slide, and the sample is gently pressed with the slide to flatten it. The slide is then placed on a three-dimensional platform, and the parameters are set under a microscope after focusing: laser wavelength of 514 nm and scanning range of 100-3100 cm⁻¹. -1 The powder was tested.

[0041] The peak intensity of the G peak (IG) at approximately 1580±5 wavenumbers and the peak intensity of the D peak (ID) at approximately 1360±5 wavenumbers are measured. IG represents lattice vibrations and the degree of order, while ID represents defects and disorder in the carbon material. Therefore, the ratio of the two peak intensities (ID / IG) can intuitively reflect the degree of ordering in the carbon material, denoted as b, where 0.02≤b≤0.40.

[0042] In this invention, if the graphite ordering degree (b) of the graphite is too high, the graphite activity will be higher, and it will be more prone to side reactions with fluorinated organic compounds having the structure of Formula I; if the b value is too low, the graphite activity will be lower, the lithium intercalation rate will be slower, and the battery performance will be affected. Therefore, the graphite ordering degree of the graphite needs to be controlled within a certain range: 0.02 ≤ b ≤ 0.40. The graphite described in this invention is a commercially available product, such as that purchased from BTR or Shanshan.

[0043] In this invention, the degree of graphite ordering is preferably 0.03 ≤ b ≤ 0.275; when the degree of graphite ordering is within the preferred range, the graphite exhibits excellent lithium-ion extraction and insertion capabilities. In specific embodiments of this invention, the value of b is 0.095, 0.275, 0.031, 0.145, 0.273, 0.083, 0.029, 0.276, 0.274, 0.031, 0.313, 0.385, 0.324, 0.025, 0.021, 0.125, 0.032, 0.271, 0.389, 0.022, 0.145, 0.04, 0.255, 0.266, 0.031, 0.123, 0.032, 0.274, or 0.033.

[0044] In this invention, a and b satisfy the following relationship: 0.018≤a×b≤0.165. If the relationship exceeds the lower limit, the electrolyte has poor high voltage resistance and is prone to significant side reactions with the negative electrode, resulting in severe battery cycle drops. If the relationship exceeds the upper limit, the electrolyte has poor coordination ability with lithium ions, the DCR value of the battery system increases, and the battery performance is affected.

[0045] Preferably, in this invention, 0.023 ≤ a × b ≤ 0.160; within the preferred range, the overall impedance of the battery is low, and the electrolyte is less likely to undergo side reactions with the negative electrode, while the negative electrode has excellent lithium-ion extraction and insertion rates; in specific embodiments of this invention, the value of a × b is 0.070, 0.160, 0.026, 0.088, 0.023, 0.158, 0.071, 0.025, 0.160, 0.162, 0.022, 0.173, 0.194, 0.165, 0.021, 0.019, 0.090, 0.195, 0.018, 0.101, 0.030, 0.150, 0.155, 0.024, 0.085, 0.027, 0.159, or 0.024.

[0095] The method for testing the content of fluorinated organic compounds having the structure of Formula I described in this invention:

[0096] In a glove box (H2O≤1ppm, O2≤10ppm), disassemble the battery to collect electrolyte samples. There are three methods for collecting electrolyte samples: After removing the battery cover, ① if there is free electrolyte, collect the sample into a 10mL sample tube using a pipette and seal it with sealant to prevent leakage. ② if there is no free electrolyte, use a hydraulic press (Beijing Heng'ao Technology Co., Ltd.'s FY-30 hydraulic press) to continuously pressurize until free electrolyte appears, collect the sample into a sample tube, and seal it. ③ Add an appropriate amount of a mixture of dichloromethane and cyclohexylbenzene to the battery as an extractant. The mass ratio of dichloromethane to cyclohexylbenzene is 1:9, and the amount of extractant added is 5g / Ah. After adding the extractant, put the battery into an aluminum-plastic bag and seal it with a heat sealer. Transfer it to an ultrasonic oscillator and let it stand for 12 hours to allow the electrolyte in the electrode to mix thoroughly with the extractant, thus obtaining an electrolyte sample. Then, use a pipette to draw the electrolyte sample into a 5mL sample tube and seal the sample tube with sealing glue.

[0097] Structural testing: 1 mL of fluorinated organic compound was placed in a sample tube, and 0.5 mL of CDCl3 (deuterated chloroform) was injected into the sample tube using a syringe.
