AI Technical Summary
Traditional commercial lithium-ion electrolytes exhibit significantly increased interfacial transport impedance and concentration polarization impedance at low temperatures, leading to rapid aging and reduced battery capacity, increased internal resistance, and decreased voltage. The SEI film thickness on the negative electrode side also increases at low temperatures, making it impossible to charge and discharge at high rates.
An inorganic solid electrolyte membrane is used on the surface of the positive electrode active material layer, combined with fluorinated additives in the liquid electrolyte. The fluorinated additives reduce the surface tension between the electrolyte and the electrode, forming a protective film rich in inorganic components, thereby reducing the low-temperature Rct and Rsei membrane impedance.
It significantly improves the performance of lithium-ion batteries in low-temperature environments, enhances battery safety and cycle stability, and reduces charge transfer resistance and film impedance.

[0158] The test results of the comparative test are shown in the following table:
[0159]
[0160]
[0161] According to the above table, we can know that:
[0162] Examples 1-5: Keep the percentage b of the total mass of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film in the battery internal solid-liquid electrolyte as 50%, the porosity c of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film as 47%, and the tortuosity d as 1.8. With the increase of the mass of the additive fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in the liquid electrolyte, the -20℃ interface impedance, the -40℃ low-temperature DCR first decreases and then increases, the discharge capacity retention rate tested at low temperature (-10℃, -20℃, -40℃) presents a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, and at -10℃ and -20℃ low temperature, the charging time first becomes fast and then slow. When the mass percentage of FEC in the liquid electrolyte is 5%, the performance of the battery reaches the peak. Therefore, appropriate addition of FEC can improve the impedance, capacity retention rate and charging time of the battery.
[0163] Embodiment 1 and Embodiments 6-9: keeping the mass percentage a of the additive FEC in the liquid electrolyte as 5%, the percentage b of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film in the total mass of the solid-liquid electrolyte in the battery as 50%, and the tortuosity d as 1.8, as the porosity of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film increases, the interface impedance at-20℃, the low-temperature DCR at-40℃ first decrease and then increase, the discharge capacity retention rate tested at low temperatures (-10℃, -20℃, -40℃) all show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, at the same time, the charging time at-10℃ and-20℃ low temperature first becomes fast and then slow, and when the porosity of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film is 47%, the various performances of the battery reach the peak value. Therefore, the porosity of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film can optimize the impedance, capacity retention rate and charging time of the battery.
[0164] Embodiment 1 and Embodiments 10-12: keeping the mass percentage a of the additive FEC in the liquid electrolyte as 5%, the percentage b of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film in the total mass of the solid-liquid electrolyte in the battery as 50%, and the porosity c of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film as 47%, as the tortuosity increases, the interface impedance at-20℃, the low-temperature DCR at-40℃ also increase, the discharge capacity retention rate tested at low temperatures (-10℃, -20℃, -40℃) all decrease, at the same time, the charging time at-10℃ and-20℃ low temperature gradually becomes long. This is because the larger the tortuosity, the longer the ion transport path, the lower the transmission efficiency, which leads to the increase of the internal resistance of the battery and affects the discharge capacity of the battery; at the same time, high tortuosity will lead to the decrease of the energy density and power density of the battery, affecting the overall performance of the battery. Therefore, according to the experiment, it is concluded that Embodiment 10 is the best embodiment of the present application, so that the comprehensive performance of the battery is optimal.
[0165] Embodiment 1 and Embodiments 13-15: keeping the mass percentage a of the additive FEC in the liquid electrolyte as 5%, the porosity c of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film as 47%, and the tortuosity d as 1.8, as the percentage b of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film increases, the interface impedance at-20℃, the low-temperature DCR at-40℃ first decrease and then increase, the discharge capacity retention rate tested at low temperatures (-10℃, -20℃, -40℃) all show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, at the same time, the charging time at-10℃ and-20℃ low temperature first becomes short and then long, and when the percentage of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte film in the total mass of the solid-liquid electrolyte is 50%, the various performances of the battery are optimal. Therefore, the percentage of the inorganic solid-state electrolyte in the battery has an effect on the impedance, capacity retention rate and charging time of the battery.
[0166] Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3: As can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-2, when the mass percentage of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in the liquid electrolyte is too low or too high, or no FEC is added, the impedance, capacity retention rate and charging time of the battery are all poor, and it is obvious that the battery performance without FEC is worse than that with FEC. Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 4: When the porosity of the inorganic solid electrolyte membrane is too low, the performance of the battery at low temperature is only slightly improved. Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Examples 5-6: When the tortuosity of the inorganic solid electrolyte membrane is too small or too large, the interface impedance of the battery is obviously increased, thereby causing the capacity retention rate to decrease and the charging time to be prolonged. Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Examples 7-8: When the inorganic solid electrolyte membrane accounts for too little of the internal solid-liquid electrolyte of the battery or no inorganic solid electrolyte membrane is used, only a common separator is used, i.e., there is no unique capillary effect and low-impedance membrane forming effect, at this time the comprehensive performance of the battery at low temperature is in the worst state, indicating that the inorganic solid electrolyte membrane has a great influence on the battery and plays an important role in the battery.
[0167] It should be noted that the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
