Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrochemical lithium battery technology, specifically relating to an in-situ polymerized ionic liquid copolymer electrolyte with high safety, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the ever-increasing demand for high-energy-density batteries, lithium metal batteries are considered one of the most promising next-generation energy storage technologies due to their lowest reduction potential (-3.04V vs standard hydrogen electrode) and highest specific capacity (3860mAh g⁻¹). However, the volatility, flammability, and leakage of traditional organic liquid electrolytes, as well as the uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites during charging and discharging in lithium metal batteries, have led to a series of serious safety hazards.

[0003] As an alternative to organic liquid electrolytes, solid-state electrolytes can effectively suppress the growth of lithium dendrites and improve battery safety. Currently, solid-state electrolytes are divided into inorganic solid-state electrolytes and polymer electrolytes. Among them, polymer electrolytes have attracted much attention due to their high flexibility, light weight, ease of processing, and low cost. However, the flame retardancy of traditional polymer matrices is also relatively poor, and their safety needs to be improved.

[0004] Polyionic liquids possess excellent thermal stability and flame retardancy, thus being considered as candidate materials for improving the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries. However, the repeating polar units in the polyionic liquid backbone generate numerous crystalline regions, resulting in low room-temperature ionic conductivity, which is insufficient to meet the requirements of high-performance batteries. Patent application CN 117543073 A discloses an ionic liquid-based cross-linked network structure polymer electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and mechanical properties, and its preparation. The prepared electrolyte membrane exhibits good ionic conductivity and a wide electrochemical stability window; however, the preparation of the polymer electrolyte requires the extensive use of high-purity organic solvents, posing significant safety risks. Patent application CN 117747933 A discloses a dual-ionic liquid-based gel polymer electrolyte membrane and its preparation method. Although this overcomes the problem of requiring large amounts of organic solvents in the preparation of ionic liquid-based gel polymer electrolyte membranes, the poor contact between the electrolyte and the electrode leads to low capacity and unstable cycling of the assembled solid-state battery.

[0005] In summary, current technologies for preparing polymer electrolytes are still imperfect. Therefore, how to enhance the compatibility between the electrolyte and the electrode while ensuring its high electrochemical performance is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to provide an in-situ polymerized ionic liquid copolymer electrolyte with high safety, its preparation method, and its applications. This invention directly copolymerizes a double-bonded imidazole ionic liquid and ethylene ethylene carbonate inside the battery to prepare a high-safety ionic liquid copolymer electrolyte in situ. This also yields a battery with good performance, ensuring high electrochemical performance while enhancing the tight contact between the electrolyte and the electrode, resulting in reduced interfacial impedance and improved solid-state lithium battery performance. The method of this invention is simple and efficient, simplifying battery assembly processes, and achieves solvent-free and low-cost operation, showing broad application prospects.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A method for preparing an in-situ polymerized ionic liquid copolymer electrolyte with high safety includes the following steps:

[0009] 1) Mix the double-bonded imidazole ionic liquid, ethylene carbonate, lithium salt, crosslinking agent and initiator to obtain a copolymer precursor solution;

[0010] 2) The copolymer precursor solution is placed on the membrane carrier of the battery and polymerized at 60-75°C to obtain an ionic liquid copolymer electrolyte with high safety.

[0011] The structure of the double-bonded imidazole ionic liquid is as follows:

[0012]

[0013] Wherein R is one of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, and octyl, and X is one of chlorine, bromine, iodine, bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide. Preferably, R is butyl and X is bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide.

[0014] The molar ratio of the double-bonded imidazole ionic liquid to ethylene carbonate is 1:1 to 7. Preferably, the molar ratio is 1:(2 to 4).

[0015] The lithium salt comprises one or more of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), lithium bis(oxalatoborate)borate (LiBOB), lithium difluorooxalatoborate (LiDFOB), lithium perchlorate (LiClO4), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4), and lithium nitrate (LiNO3), preferably one or more of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and lithium difluorooxalatoborate (LiDFOB). The concentration of the lithium salt in the mixture of double-bonded imidazole ionic liquid and ethylene carbonate is 0.1–4 mol / L, preferably 0.5–2 mol / L.

[0016] The crosslinking agent includes one or more of polyethylene glycol diacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, propylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, and trimethylolpropane triacrylate.

[0017] The crosslinking agent accounts for 5-20% of the total mass of the copolymer precursor solution.

[0018] The initiator is azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), and the amount added is 0.1-2% of the total mass of the double-bonded imidazole ionic liquid, ethylene ethylene carbonate, and crosslinking agent.

[0019] The polymerization time in step 2) is 4 to 8 hours.

[0020] The specific steps for step 2) are as follows:

[0021] The copolymer precursor solution is placed on the membrane carrier of the battery and polymerized at 60–75°C, and then the battery is assembled. Alternatively, the copolymer precursor solution is placed on the membrane carrier of the battery, the battery is assembled, and polymerized at 60–75°C to obtain an ionic liquid copolymer electrolyte with high safety.

[0022] Placing the copolymer precursor solution on the battery membrane carrier refers to a coating or impregnation method.

[0023] After the battery assembly is completed in step 2), let it stand at room temperature for 8–24 hours.

[0024] When the battery is a lithium-ion battery, the specific steps of step 2) are as follows: place the copolymer precursor solution on the membrane carrier of the battery, assemble the battery, polymerize at 60-75°C, and let it stand at room temperature.

[0025] When the battery is an asymmetric lithium metal battery or a symmetric battery, step 2) specifically involves placing the copolymer precursor solution on the battery membrane carrier, polymerizing it at 60-75°C, then assembling the battery and allowing it to stand at room temperature.

[0026] Step 1) involves mixing under a protective atmosphere.

[0027] The membrane carrier mentioned in step 2) is one of polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene porous membrane, glass fiber membrane, or polypropylene membrane (PP). The membrane porosity is 40-80%, and the pore size is 1-6 μm.

[0028] When the battery is a lithium-ion battery, the positive electrode includes any one of NCM ternary, lithium iron phosphate, and lithium cobalt oxide.

[0029] The highly safe ionic liquid copolymer electrolyte is obtained by the above method.

[0030] The highly safe ionic liquid copolymer electrolyte is used in lithium-ion batteries, asymmetric lithium metal batteries, or symmetric batteries.

[0031] The technical solution of this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] (1) The use of double-bonded imidazole ionic liquids can effectively improve the thermal stability of electrolytes, increase the electrochemical stability of electrolytes, and effectively inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites.

[0033] (2) Introducing low-viscosity ethylene carbonate can reduce the crystallinity of the polymer, enhance ion mobility, and promote the dissociation of lithium salt, which can further increase the ionic conductivity of the copolymer; at the same time, the coordination of ethylene carbonate with lithium ions accelerates the ion migration rate.

[0034] (3) The mixture polymerizes to form a three-dimensional cross-linked network copolymer. This cross-linked network structure is beneficial to improving the flexibility and mechanical strength of the electrolyte, while providing a fast lithium-ion transport path.

[0035] (4) The double-bonded imidazole ionic liquid and ethylene carbonate are copolymerized in situ, which not only enhances the interfacial contact between the electrode and the electrolyte and reduces the internal resistance of the battery, but also greatly improves the flame retardant performance of the electrolyte, thereby achieving high safety and high cycle stability of lithium metal batteries.
