Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to electrolyte and its preparation method, specifically to asymmetric composite solid-state electrolyte and its preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional lithium-ion batteries are widely used in computer, mobile phone, electric vehicle and energy storage power station due to their inherent advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, no memory effect and convenient carrying. However, the energy density of commercial lithium-ion batteries has reached the limit, and the leakage of organic electrolyte can easily lead to short circuit and explosion of the battery, causing safety problems such as fire. Therefore, solid-state lithium metal batteries using solid-state electrolyte are considered as an effective strategy to meet the increasing demand for high safety and high energy density energy storage devices. However, solid-state electrolyte faces problems such as low ionic conductivity, poor flexibility and low mechanical strength, which hinder the practical application of solid-state electrolyte.

[0003] Solid-state electrolyte can be divided into inorganic solid-state electrolyte, organic solid-state electrolyte and composite solid-state electrolyte. Inorganic solid-state electrolyte has high ionic conductivity, but it has insufficient contact with the electrode and large interface impedance. Organic solid-state electrolyte has good flexibility, low cost and easy processing, but its ionic conductivity is relatively low. Composite solid-state electrolyte combines the advantages of inorganic and organic solid-state electrolyte, effectively solving the problems of the two types of electrolyte. The ionic conductivity of pure polymer electrolyte is very low (usually <10 -6 S cm -1 ), by using imidazole type ionic liquid (Li-IL) and other surface chemical modification of MOF as functional filler, the ionic conductivity and electrochemical performance of polymer electrolyte can be improved. The introduction of MOF can reduce the crystallinity of polymer, and its porous structure can also be used as an ion transmission channel, but the improvement of ionic conductivity by doping a small amount of MOF particles is limited. In addition, a small amount of MOF filler added in the polymer matrix can improve the mechanical strength of the composite electrolyte. In general, the excellent mechanical strength and flexibility of the composite electrolyte can physically suppress lithium dendrites. However, there is a negative correlation between the ionic conductivity and the mechanical strength of most polymer-based composite solid-state electrolytes, which makes it challenging to simultaneously improve the mechanical properties and ionic conductivity.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to construct a new type of microstructure polymer composite electrolyte to precisely control the ionic conductivity and improve the lithium dendrite suppression ability respectively. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, and the purpose of the present application is to provide an asymmetric composite solid-state electrolyte with flexibility and high ionic conductivity, and the purpose of the present application is to provide an environmentally friendly and convenient preparation method for the asymmetric composite solid-state electrolyte.

[0006] Technical solution: The asymmetric composite solid electrolyte comprises a first electrolyte layer and a second electrolyte layer, and the second electrolyte layer is arranged on the first electrolyte layer; the first electrolyte layer comprises 75-85wt% Li-IL@Cu-BTC and 15-25wt% PVDF-HFP, and the second electrolyte layer comprises 15-25wt% Li-IL@Cu-BTC and 75-85wt% PVDF-HFP; the Li-IL in the Li-IL@Cu-BTC is encapsulated in the Cu-BTC channel.

[0007] Further, the Li-IL@Cu-BTC in the first electrolyte layer and the second electrolyte layer is uniformly dispersed in the PVDF-HFP.

[0008] Further, the thickness of the first electrolyte layer is 28-32μm, and the thickness of the second electrolyte layer is 7-10μm.

[0009] The preparation method of the asymmetric composite solid electrolyte comprises the following steps:

[0010] Step one, respectively configure methanol solutions of 1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylic acid, copper nitrate trihydrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone, mix uniformly, stand for aging, then collect the sample by centrifugation, and wash with methanol for several times, vacuum dry the Cu-BTC, and grind into powder;

[0011] Step two, in an argon glove box, prepare Li-IL by dissolving LiTFSI in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([EMIM][TFSI]), stir uniformly, mix Li-IL and Cu-BTC uniformly, and heat under vacuum conditions, so that Li-IL enters into the Cu-BTC channel, and form Li-IL@Cu-BTC powder;

[0012] Step three, disperse the Li-IL@Cu-BTC powder in N-methylpyrrolidone solvent, stir to form a suspension, then respectively add LiTFSI and PVDF-HFP particles, and perform uniform magnetic stirring, to obtain a first electrolyte layer slurry and a second electrolyte layer slurry respectively;

[0013] Step four, coat the first electrolyte layer slurry on a glass plate, vacuum dry to obtain the first electrolyte layer, then coat the second electrolyte layer slurry on the first electrolyte layer, vacuum dry to obtain the asymmetric composite solid electrolyte film.

[0014] Further, in step one, the concentration of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid in the methanol solution is 0.04-0.1 mol / L, the concentration of copper nitrate trihydrate in the methanol solution is 0.06-0.1 mol / L, and the mass ratio of copper nitrate trihydrate to PVP is 1:0.2-0.5. The temperature for standing and aging is 25-30 DEG C, and the time is 24-36 hours.

[0015] Further, in step two, the mass ratio of LiTFSI to 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide is 1:4-6, and the mass ratio of Li-IL to Cu-BTC is 1-2:1. The Li-IL is vacuum dried at 110-120 DEG C for 12-24 hours before use, and the Cu-BTC is vacuum dried at 150-160 DEG C for 8-12 hours before use.

[0016] Further, in step three, the mass ratio of PVDF-HFP to LiTFSI is 1-5:1.

[0017] Further, in step four, the vacuum drying is performed by using a stepwise temperature rise within 30-60 DEG C.

[0018] Preparation principle: the ion liquid is encapsulated in the pore structure of Cu-BTC to obtain functional filler Li-IL@Cu-BTC, which is added into a PVDF-HFP-based solid electrolyte, and different mass ratios of Li-IL@Cu-BTC polymer solid electrolyte are coated layer by layer. The double-layer structure makes the composite solid electrolyte have excellent mechanical properties and good ionic conductivity, and the Li-IL@Cu-BTC ion conductor can also uniformly guide the deposition / exfoliation of lithium ions. The double-layer coating design can adapt to the cathode and anode according to the different characteristics of the content of Li-IL@Cu-BTC ion conductor in the matrix. The high content of Li-IL@Cu-BTC ion conductor on the cathode side is densely packed, which shortens the lithium ion transmission distance, establishes a continuous lithium ion transport path, and shows good ionic conductivity, which can improve the cathode activity and stability. The low content of Li-IL@Cu-BTC polymer matrix thin layer on the anode side is only 8.1 microns thick, which reduces the adverse effect on the overall ionic conductivity of the membrane, shows excellent mechanical properties, and effectively hinders the growth of lithium dendrites, reducing the risk of short circuit of the battery. The two sides of the asymmetric ion conductor content double-layer structure have the same transmission mechanism and synergistic complementary effect, so that the composite solid lithium metal battery has good cycle stability and high reversible capacity.

[0019] Beneficial effects: compared with the prior art, the present application has the following remarkable features:

[0020] 1. Room temperature ionic liquid shows high ionic conductivity, high thermal stability and environmental friendliness, modifying MOF channels to form Li-IL@Cu-BTC ionic conductor;

[0021] 2. High content of Li-IL@Cu-BTC ionic conductor shortens the transmission distance of lithium ions, and densely accumulates on the cathode side, establishing a continuous lithium ion transport path;

[0022] 3. High content of Li-IL@Cu-BTC layer shows good ionic conductivity, which can improve the activity and stability of the cathode;

[0023] 4. The low content of Li-IL@Cu-BTC polymer matrix thin layer on the anode side, with a thickness of only 8.1 μm, reduces the adverse effects on the overall ionic conductivity of the membrane, and shows excellent mechanical properties, which effectively hinders the growth of lithium dendrites and reduces the risk of short circuit of the battery;

[0024] 5. The asymmetric structure makes the composite solid-state electrolyte flexible and has high ionic conductivity, with a total thickness of only 38.4 μm. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0031] The materials, reagents, instruments, etc. used in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, can be obtained commercially. The experimental methods in the examples not marked with specific conditions are usually carried out according to the conventional conditions or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (EMIM TFSI, 99%), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI, 99.9%), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP, 99.9%), trimesic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone, copper nitrate, poly(vinylidene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) were purchased from Macklin.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] A method for preparing an asymmetric composite solid-state electrolyte, comprising the following steps:

[0034] (1) A 125 mL, 0.066 mol / L methanol solution of copper nitrate trihydrate was prepared, 1 g of PVP was dispersed in the above solution, and the solution was marked as solution A. A 125 mL, 0.042 mol / L methanol solution of 1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylic acid was prepared, and the solution was marked as solution B. Solution B was added dropwise to solution A, and the mixture was placed at 25°C for 24 h. The blue product was collected by centrifugation, washed with methanol for 3 times, dried at 80°C for 12 h, and ground into powder to prepare Cu-BTC.

[0035] (2) Li-IL was dried at 120°C under vacuum for 12 hours to remove water. In an argon glove box, 1 g of LiTFSI was dissolved in 5.46 g of [EMIM][TFSI] to prepare Li-IL, which was stirred uniformly at a temperature of 30°C.

[0036] (3) 1 g of Cu-BTC powder was vacuum activated at 160°C for 8 hours. 2 g of Li-IL was added dropwise to the activated Cu-BTC powder, which was ground and mixed uniformly, and then heated at 120°C under vacuum for 12 h to make Li-IL enter the Cu-BTC channels to form Li-IL@Cu-BTC powder. Cu-BTC has a multi-level microporous structure, and the pore size is mainly distributed between 0.5-0.8 nm, which ensures that EMIM + and TFSI - can enter the inside of the channel, while the micropores smaller than 0.7 nm hinder the migration of EMIM + and TFSI - , while allowing the free movement of Li + (0.076 nm), so that the composite solid-state electrolyte film has a higher lithium ion migration number.

[0037] (4) The Li-IL@Cu-BTC powder is dispersed in NMP solvent to form a suspension, then LiTFSI and PVDF-HFP particles with a mass ratio of 1:4 are added respectively, and uniform magnetic stirring is performed for 24 h to obtain a first electrolyte layer slurry and a second electrolyte layer slurry respectively.

Then the second electrolyte layer slurry is uniformly coated on the first electrolyte layer by using a doctor blade, and then placed in a vacuum drying oven for temperature increase at 40°C and 50°C for 2 h respectively, and then vacuum dried at 60°C for 24 h to obtain the second electrolyte layer, thereby obtaining an asymmetric composite solid-state electrolyte membrane.

[0039] The first electrolyte layer of the obtained composite solid-state electrolyte membrane comprises 80wt% Li-IL@Cu-BTC and 20wt% PVDF-HFP, and the thickness is 30.3μm. The second electrolyte layer comprises 20wt% Li-IL@Cu-BTC and 80wt% PVDF-HFP, and the thickness is 8.1μm. Li-IL@Cu-BTC is uniformly dispersed in PVDF-HFP.

[0059] Step (2), 1 g of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) was weighed in an argon glove box and dissolved in 5.46 g of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (EMIMTFSI) ionic liquid to prepare Li-IL. The mixture was stirred at 30℃ until uniform, and then vacuum dried at 120℃ to remove water before use.

[0060] Step (3), 1 g of Cu-BTC powder was activated at 160℃ for 8 h under vacuum. After activation, 2 g of Li-IL was added dropwise to the MOFs, and the mixture was ground until uniform. The mixture was heated at 120℃ for 12 h under vacuum to allow the Li-IL to fully enter the pores of the Cu-BTC, and Li-IL@Cu-BTC powder was prepared.

The mass ratio of Li-IL@Cu-BTC in the solid electrolyte was 65%.

[0062] The solid electrolytes obtained in Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 4 were assembled into stainless steel symmetric batteries in an argon glove box to measure their ionic conductivities. In addition, lithium deposition performance was measured by assembling lithium symmetric batteries. The solid electrolytes obtained in Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 were assembled into full batteries with LFP as the positive electrode and Li as the negative electrode to test their performance. The side of the Li-IL@Cu-BTC with a mass ratio of 20% was in contact with the lithium metal negative electrode, and the side of the Li-IL@Cu-BTC with a mass ratio of 80% was in contact with the LFP positive electrode.

[0063] As Figure 1The morphology and thickness of the asymmetric composite solid electrolyte Li-IL@Cu-BTC ion conductor on the side with different contents of Li-IL@Cu-BTC. When the mass ratio is 20%, a small amount of Li-IL@Cu-BTC filler improves the crystallinity of the pure PVDF-HFP polymer matrix, and the surface is smooth and uniform. When the mass ratio of Li-IL@Cu-BTC is 80%, a large number of MOF particles are densely packed, forming a continuous ion transmission channel.

[0064] As Figures 2-3 In the ion conductivity test, the counterexample 2 showed an ion conductivity of 1.77 x 10 -4 S cm -1 at room temperature, which was significantly lower than the ion conductivity of 4.08 x 10 -4 S cm -1 of the counterexample 4. In addition, the example 1 has a higher ion conductivity of 3.51 x 10 -4 S cm -1 , which ensures the rapid transmission of lithium ions in the solid-state electrolyte.

[0065] As Figure 4 The mechanical properties of the counterexample 2 are excellent, while the mechanical properties of the counterexample 4 are very poor. In addition, the mechanical properties of the example 1 are greatly improved and better than those of the counterexample 4.

[0066] As Figure 5 The counterexample 2 has the highest overpotential in lithium deposition, relies on better mechanical strength to suppress dendrite penetration into the electrolyte, and the voltage increases until the battery dies. The overpotential of the counterexample 4 is the lowest, but it is very easy to short circuit. The overpotential of the example 1 is lower and stable, and can be stably cycled for 500h.

[0067] As Figure 6 The initial specific capacity of the counterexample 2 is the lowest and decays quickly. The initial specific capacity of the counterexample 4 is higher, but also decays quickly. The initial specific capacity of the example 1 is 140mAh g -1 , and after 100 cycles of long cycle, it still can reach a discharge specific capacity of 138.4mAh g -1 and a cycle efficiency of 99.58%, and the capacity retention rate reaches 98.9%. This shows that the asymmetric double-layer structure design well balances the ion conductivity and mechanical strength of the composite solid electrolyte, and exhibits good performance of the lithium metal battery.
