Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of new energy materials, and specifically relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte, a lithium-ion battery and an electrical device. Background Art
[0002] As the demand for energy density in the power lithium battery market continues to rise, lithium batteries urgently need to complete innovation and upgrades at the material level. High-energy-density lithium batteries have become the current research hotspot and are also the general trend of future lithium battery development. The development of high-energy-density lithium batteries at the material level mainly includes two directions. One is to broaden the voltage range of the material, especially to increase the upper voltage limit, which can effectively improve the specific capacity and voltage platform of the positive electrode material; the other is to upgrade the positive and negative electrode materials, and improve their specific capacity by optimizing the active components, structure and morphology of the electrode materials. For example, compared with the current mainstream medium-nickel ternary positive electrode with graphite negative electrode system, high-nickel ternary / lithium-rich manganese-based positive electrode materials with silicon oxygen / silicon carbon / lithium metal negative electrode systems have the advantage of significantly improving specific energy, but some practical problems in the high-energy-density system limit its actual development, mainly including the intensified dissolution of transition metal ions in the positive electrode under high pressure / high temperature (caused by the combined action of the Jan-Taylor effect and HF produced by the hydrolysis of commercial LiPF6 electrolyte), which leads to the destruction of the positive electrode structure, the oxidation and decomposition of the electrolyte under high pressure, the deposition of transition metal ions at the negative electrode, and the significant volume change of the negative electrode, which leads to the continuous destruction and reorganization of SEI, which makes the capacity decay of the high-energy-density system under high temperature / high pressure aggravated, accompanied by serious gas production and impedance growth. Summary of the invention
[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the defects of the high specific energy system of lithium batteries in the prior art, such as the aggravated capacity attenuation under high temperature / high pressure, accompanied by serious gas production and impedance growth, so as to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte, lithium-ion battery and electrical equipment.

Through the joint and synergistic effect of the functional groups of the additive, the functional effects of passivating the positive and negative electrode surfaces, inhibiting the dissolution of transition metal ions, and removing water and inhibiting acid can be achieved, thereby effectively improving the high temperature / high pressure performance of the high energy density lithium battery.

[0010] In some optional embodiments, the additive includes a compound having any of the following structures:
[0011]
[0012]
[0013] In some optional embodiments, based on the total mass of the non-aqueous electrolyte, the content of the compound represented by formula (I) is 0.1%-2%.

[0021] According to another aspect of the present application, there is provided an electrical device comprising the above-mentioned lithium-ion battery.
[0022] The technical solution of this application has the following advantages:
[0023] The non-aqueous electrolyte provided in the present application can achieve the functional effects of passivating the positive and negative electrode surfaces, inhibiting the dissolution of transition metal ions, and removing water and inhibiting acid by introducing an additive with a specific structure and functional groups into the electrolyte. This can effectively improve the high temperature / high pressure performance of high specific energy lithium batteries, slow down capacity decay, and inhibit gas production and impedance growth through the joint and synergistic effects of the functional groups of the additive. Specifically, the additive contains unsaturated acetylenic groups, which have the functions of forming films at both positive and negative electrodes and removing HF. The electron-withdrawing acetylenic groups are conjugated with benzene rings to reduce the electron cloud density on the benzene rings, thereby reducing the risk of the benzene rings losing electrons under high pressure and polymerizing to generate high-impedance polymers, thereby improving the high-voltage stability of the interface film. At the same time, the strong electron-withdrawing phenylacetylenic groups and silicon oxygen connected to N make it easier for the N central atom to obtain electron reduction at the negative electrode to form a Li3N-rich SEI, thereby improving the ion-conducting ability of the SEI. The N containing lone pairs of electrons can not only complex transition metal ions, but also provide electrons to adjacent silicon oxygen, thereby making it easier for the oxygen in silicon oxygen to combine with water or hydrogen protons or ions in HF, thereby further enhancing the water removal and acid suppression ability of silicon oxygen. The flexible Si-O and rigid The polar benzene ring makes the film have the characteristics of both rigidity and flexibility. The excellent mechanical stability can effectively match the volume expansion / contraction of the electrode material during the charge and discharge process, and alleviate the interface film damage caused by volume change. At the same time, the polar N / O can promote the rapid transmission of lithium ions in the interface film, so that the film has excellent ion conductivity. Under the synergistic effect of the above various functional groups, the additive can preferentially decompose on the surface of the positive and negative electrodes to form SEI and CEI interface films with excellent ion conductivity and high stability, which can effectively passivate the surface of the positive and negative electrodes, and at the same time have the functions of enhanced water removal, acid suppression and inhibition of transition metal ion dissolution. Under the comprehensive effect, the lithium battery using the optimized electrolyte containing the additive shows significantly improved high temperature / high pressure performance.
[0024] The non-aqueous electrolyte provided in the present application, by further limiting the structure of the compound represented by formula (I), increases the content of polar Si, O, and N groups or introduces benzene rings or heterocyclic groups while retaining the characteristic functional groups, thereby further improving the film-forming flexibility and firmness, ion conductivity, and film-forming properties.
[0025] The non-aqueous electrolyte provided in the present application, by limiting the content of the compound represented by formula (I), can ensure that the compound represented by formula (I) can fully participate in the formation of stable SEI and CEI interface films, while not forming a film that is too thick or too thin, thereby limiting the lithium ion transfer kinetics or insufficient film formation.
[0026] The non-aqueous electrolyte provided in the present application limits the lithium salt concentration, thereby ensuring that the electrolyte has appropriate ionic conductivity and lithium ion transference number.
[0027] The non-aqueous electrolyte provided in the present application limits the types and amounts of other additives, which has the effect of further optimizing the film structure and composition of the positive and negative electrodes and improving the film stability and uniformity.
[0028] The non-aqueous electrolyte provided in the present application limits the type of organic solvent, which can ensure that the solvent used has a suitable viscosity and dielectric constant, so that the lithium salt can be fully dissociated to ensure the high lithium ion conductivity of the electrolyte.

After standing for half an hour, it was discharged at 1C constant current to obtain the initial capacity of the first cycle of the battery and recorded as C1. Thereafter, the first cycle of charging and discharging was repeated in the CCCV / DC mode. The capacity after the 400th cycle of discharge was recorded as C400. The capacity retention rate after 400 cycles of high temperature cycling (%) = C400 / C1×100%. Before and after the high temperature cycling of the battery cell, the DC internal resistance DCR value of the battery cell at 50% SOC was tested and recorded by the following current pulse method.
[0115] (2) DCR test: At 25°C, charge the cell before or after high temperature cycling at a constant current of 0.5C to 4.25V, charge at a constant voltage to a current of 0.05C, leave it for 1h, then discharge it at 0.5C for 1h (50% SOC), leave it for another 1h, and record the voltage V1 at the end; then discharge it at 2C for 10s, and record the voltage V2 at the end. The DCR of the cell before or after cycling = (V1-V2) / (I 1C -I 0.1C ), the unit is mΩ, and the DCR growth rate after cycling is (DCR 循环后 -DCR 循环前 ) / DCR 循环前 ×100%.
[0116] (3) Cyclic gas production test: At 25°C, the battery volume is tested by the drainage method before or after high-temperature cycling. The specific operation is as follows: Place a container filled with deionized water on an electronic scale, use a fixing clip to fix the pole ear on the upper end of the soft-pack battery, immerse the soft-pack battery completely in the liquid, and record the weight change displayed on the electronic scale. The volume of the soft-pack battery can be calculated by measuring the change in the volume of deionized water after the soft-pack battery is immersed in deionized water. The specific calculation formula is: V = (m1-m2) / ρ, where m1 is the weight of the soft-pack battery after it is completely immersed in deionized water, m2 is the weight of the soft-pack battery when it is not immersed in deionized water, and ρ is the density of deionized water (1g / L). The volume V before the cycle was measured respectively. 循环前 and the volume after the cycle V 循环后 , the cycle gas production is calculated by the following formula: (V 循环后 -V 循环前 ) / V 循环前 ×100%.
[0117] (4) High-temperature storage: The divided cells are charged to 100% SOC at 0.33C, and their capacity is recorded as C0. The fully charged batteries are then stored in a 60°C oven for 7 days. The cell capacity after storage is recorded as C1. The capacity retention rate (%) after 7 days of storage at 60°C = (C1-C0) / C0×100%.
[0118] The specific test results are shown in the table below:
[0119] Table 1
[0120]
[0121] It can be seen from the data in the above table that the embodiments can achieve both high-temperature cycle and high-temperature storage performance compared to the comparative examples, indicating that the compound additive with the structure shown in formula (I) can effectively improve the high-temperature cycle and high-temperature storage performance of lithium-ion batteries and inhibit the growth of cycle DCR and cycle gas production, and its mass proportion is preferably 0.1-2%.
[0122] Compared with Example 1, the comprehensive performance of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 is worse, which is attributed to the fact that when the selected additive structure contains only siloxane amine groups but no alkynyl groups, its reaction activity will be reduced, the film formation will not be sufficiently dense, and the film formation stability will deteriorate; when the selected additive structure contains only alkynyl groups but no siloxane amine groups, an interface film dominated by organic matter will be formed, resulting in a large film formation impedance and poor thermal stability; that is, only when the specified additive structure contains both alkynyl and siloxane functional groups, the synergistic effect of the two can form a dense, high ionic conductivity stable interface film, thereby improving the high temperature stability of the lithium battery.
[0123] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
