Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery electrolytes, and in particular relates to a fluorine-free electrolyte and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In various battery systems, lithium metal anodes with low reduction potentials (-3.040 V vs SHE) and transition metal oxide cathodes with higher oxidation potentials (>4.3 V vs Li + The high-voltage lithium battery system that matches Li / Li has a high theoretical energy density. However, in commercial carbonate electrolytes, lithium metal anodes are prone to lithium dendrites during repeated electroplating / stripping, which shortens the cycle life of the battery and poses a safety hazard to the battery. Commercial carbonate electrolytes will also undergo severe oxidation reactions at the cathode interface at higher oxidation potentials, and the reaction byproducts will increase the battery impedance and cause serious electrolyte loss. Therefore, the development of an electrolyte that is compatible with both lithium metal anodes and high-voltage cathodes is crucial for the stable cycle of high-voltage lithium battery systems.

[0003] Based on this situation, researchers have found that the electrolyte system using a local high concentration strategy has unique adaptability for high-voltage lithium battery systems. Local high concentration electrolytes usually refer to electrolytes that use diluents that do not participate in the lithium ion solvation structure to dilute high concentration electrolytes. In local high concentration electrolytes, a large amount of lithium salts are dissolved in the solvent to form a solvation structure of a high concentration lithium salt system, and then a diluent that does not participate in the lithium ion solvation structure is added to form a homogeneous system, which reduces the viscosity of the electrolyte while also improving its ionic conductivity. At present, researchers usually adopt a fluorination strategy for molecules such as lithium salts in local high concentration electrolytes, using the strong electron-withdrawing properties of fluorine atoms to reduce the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level (HOMO) of the system to improve the stability of the electrolyte to the high-voltage positive electrode; at the same time, the electrolyte components after fluorination also help to form a solid electrolyte interface phase (SEI) rich in lithium fluoride on the electrode surface, which can reduce the formation of lithium dendrites, reduce interfacial side reactions, and improve the cycle life of the lithium negative electrode. Patent CN117199535A discloses a high-voltage lithium metal battery electrolyte, which is a local high-concentration electrolyte, with one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl imide, and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide as lithium salt, fluorobenzene, 1,2-difluorobenzene, 1,3-difluorobenzene, and perfluorobenzene as diluents, and 1,3-dioxolane, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, and 2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuran as solvents, which can significantly reduce the viscosity of high-concentration electrolytes, improve the ionic conductivity of electrolytes, and solve the problem of poor wettability with diaphragms, and can be applied to high-voltage lithium metal batteries. However, the strategy of using fluorinated local high-concentration electrolytes usually involves fluorination of various components, such as lithium salts and diluents, to a high degree, which greatly increases the cost of the electrolyte, which can even reach 4 to 6 times that of commercial ester electrolytes; moreover, the fluorination strategy has serious defluorination and acidification phenomena under high temperatures and with active hydrogen impurities, which is easy to cause environmental damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fluorine-free local high-concentration electrolyte to avoid the drawbacks of the existing fluorine-containing strategy, while ensuring that the lithium metal battery containing it can achieve high voltage, high power, high energy density and high stability applications. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a fluorine-free electrolyte and a preparation method and application thereof. The fluorine-free electrolyte described in the present invention is a local high-concentration electrolyte. The fluorine-free electrolyte described in the present invention adopts fluorine-free lithium salt, fluorine-free solvent and fluorine-free diluent, which greatly reduces the cost and avoids the defluorination acidification problem caused by fluorine element, improves stability and reduces harm to the environment; at the same time, the fluorine-free lithium salt effectively improves the ionic conductivity and the interface reaction rate, which is beneficial to improving the battery rate performance, and the electrolyte is conducive to establishing a stable lithium metal negative electrode interface and a high-voltage positive electrode interface, and is suitable for constructing a high-energy density, high-power battery system.

The use of fluorine-free lithium salts in the present invention greatly reduces the amount of fluorine-containing lithium salts, while regulating and optimizing the lithium negative electrode solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and the high-voltage positive electrode electrolyte interface (CEI), producing inorganic phases doped with multiple elements such as sulfur, boron, nitrogen, and chlorine, improving the lithium ion conductivity of SEI and CEI, reducing interface impedance, increasing the interface reaction rate, inhibiting lithium dendrite growth and positive electrode interface side reactions, and establishing a stable lithium metal negative electrode interface and high-voltage positive electrode interface during the cycle. Since the electrolyte in the present invention greatly reduces the amount of expensive fluorination reagents, and uses mature industrial product-grade solvents and diluents, the cost of the electrolyte system is greatly reduced; the use of fluorine-free electrolytes reduces the risk of defluorination and acidification of electrolytes; from the perspective of the entire life cycle of the battery, the environmental hazards caused by fluorine-containing reagents are reduced.
