Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and particularly to a wide-temperature-range lithium-ion battery electrolyte and its preparation method and application. Background Art
[0002] In a high-temperature environment, organic solvents in traditional electrolytes, such as carbonate compounds, have poor thermal stability. When the temperature rises, the organic solvents are prone to decomposition reactions, generating gases, which leads to an increase in the internal pressure of the battery. This not only accelerates the attenuation of the battery capacity but may also cause serious safety problems such as battery bulging and even explosion. For example, common ethylene carbonate (EC) decomposes at high temperatures to generate gases such as carbon dioxide, affecting the battery performance.
[0003] High temperature also causes the decomposition of lithium salts, thereby affecting the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. Taking lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 6) as an example, it decomposes at high temperatures to produce harmful hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas, and HF will react with the electrode material, damaging the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the electrode surface. The SEI film is crucial for maintaining the stability and cycling performance of the battery. Once damaged, the electrolyte will continuously undergo side reactions with the electrode material, further reducing the battery performance. Summary of the Invention

Through the careful design and optimization of the lithium salt, solvent, and additive system, the components work synergistically to improve the conduction efficiency of lithium ions, enhance the stability of the electrode-electrolyte interface, and inhibit side reactions at high and low temperatures, thereby achieving more excellent performance than traditional comparative examples in a wide temperature range, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient, stable, and long-lasting operation of lithium-ion batteries under different environmental conditions.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a wide-temperature-range lithium-ion battery electrolyte, which includes the following components by mass percentage: 10-12% lithium salt, 80-85% organic solvent, and 3-5% additive.

[0007] The preparation method of the above-mentioned wide-temperature-range lithium-ion battery electrolyte comprises the following steps: Step 1: Pretreat the lithium salt, organic solvent and additive; Step 2: Place the organic solvent in a container equipped with a magnetic stirrer and an ultrasonic probe, and slowly add the lithium salt. Stir and sonicate until the lithium salt is completely dissolved. The rotation speed of the magnetic stirrer is 300 - 500 r / min, the ultrasonic power is 200 - 300 W, and the frequency is 40 - 50 kHz. After dissolution, inject the treated organic solvent, lithium salt solution and additive into different inlets of the microfluidic chip respectively for mixing and reaction.

After the reaction, remove the anhydrous acetonitrile by vacuum distillation, wash the product with diethyl ether, and finally dry the product in a drying oven.
[0009] Preferably, the pretreatment of the organic solvent in Step 1 includes: dehydrating the organic solvent, placing the dehydrated organic solvent in a clean container in a dry argon atmosphere glove box, then adding EMIM-TFSI, and then adding a thermotropic liquid crystal intelligent responsive solvent additive, and mixing the components evenly with a magnetic stirrer.
[0010] Preferably, the pretreatment of the additive in Step 1 includes: adding the additive to a reaction vessel, using p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst, and carrying out an esterification reaction in a toluene solution. After the reaction is completed, remove the toluene by vacuum distillation, and recrystallize the product with n-hexane to obtain a self-healing film-forming additive.
[0011] Preferably, in the pretreatment of the lithium salt, the drying temperature is set at 100 - 150 °C, the drying time is 10 - 12 h, the reaction temperature is 50 - 100 °C, and the reaction time is 10 - 12 h.
[0012] Preferably, in the pretreatment of the organic solvent, the organic solvent is filled into a column of 4A molecular sieve for dehydration, and the organic solvent is controlled to pass through the molecular sieve column at a flow rate of 0.3 - 0.5 mL / min, and the operation is repeated three times.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through examples. Specific Embodiments
[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below through examples.
[0019] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present invention shall have the ordinary meanings understood by those of ordinary skill in the field to which the present invention belongs.
[0020] The present invention provides a wide-temperature-range lithium-ion battery electrolyte, which includes the following components by mass percentage: 10-12% lithium salt, 80-85% organic solvent, 3-5% additive.
[0021] Among them, the lithium salt includes one or more of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), lithium difluorooxalate borate (LiDFOB), lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ), lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB); the organic solvent includes one or more of ethylene carbonate (EC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), ethyl propionate (EP), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMIM-TFSI) and a thermotropic liquid crystal-based intelligent response solvent additive; the additive includes one or more of ethylene sulfite (ES), diethyl methylmalonate (DM) and biphenyl (BP), and also includes the raw materials for synthesizing the self-healing film-forming additive and the related raw materials for synthesizing the multifunctional integrated additive.
[0022] The preparation method of the above-mentioned wide-temperature-range lithium-ion battery electrolyte includes the following steps: Step 1: Pretreat the lithium salt, organic solvent and additive. The pretreatment of the lithium salt includes: placing the lithium salt in a drying oven for vacuum drying, dissolving the dried lithium salt in anhydrous acetonitrile, adding a fluoroalkyl halide and a catalyst for reaction, removing the anhydrous acetonitrile by vacuum distillation after the reaction, washing the product with ether, and finally drying the product in a drying oven. High-temperature vacuum drying of the lithium salt removes moisture to prevent hydrolysis of the lithium salt and affect its performance; the organic solvent is dehydrated through a 4A molecular sieve column, and the water content is strictly controlled to ensure the conductivity and chemical stability of the electrolyte.
[0023] In the pretreatment of the lithium salt, the drying temperature is set at 100-150°C, the drying time is 10-12h, the reaction temperature is 50-100°C, and the reaction time is 10-12h.
[0024] The main lithium salt LiTFSI has high ionic conductivity and good chemical and thermal stability, constructing an efficient channel for lithium-ion transmission. The auxiliary lithium salt LiDFOB forms a SEI film on the electrode surface at low temperature, inhibits the decomposition of the electrolyte, and ensures lithium-ion conduction. The combination of the two takes into account the high and low temperature performance. Modifying the connection of LiDFOB with a fluoroalkyl chain reduces the crystallinity of the SEI film at low temperature, facilitating the penetration of lithium ions; at high temperature, it enhances the interaction with LiTFSI and stabilizes the SEI film. At the same time, the design of the lithium salt concentration gradient on the electrode surface reduces the concentration polarization of lithium ions during charge and discharge, and improves the charge and discharge rate performance.
[0025] The pretreatment of the organic solvent includes: dehydrating the organic solvent, placing the dehydrated organic solvent in a clean container in a dry argon atmosphere glove box, then adding EMIM-TFSI, and then adding a thermotropic liquid crystal intelligent responsive solvent additive, and mixing the components evenly with a magnetic stirrer.
[0026] In the pretreatment of the organic solvent, the organic solvent is loaded into a column of 4A molecular sieve for dehydration, and the organic solvent is controlled to pass through the molecular sieve column at a flow rate of 0.3-0.5 mL / min, and the process is repeated three times. The addition amount of EMIM-TFSI is 10-12% of the total volume, and the addition amount of the thermotropic liquid crystal intelligent responsive solvent additive is 3-5% of the total volume.
[0027] EC promotes the dissociation of lithium salts with its high dielectric constant, DEC reduces the resistance to ion migration with its low viscosity, and EP expands the low-temperature application range with its low melting point. The three are mixed in a specific ratio (2:3:5) to achieve performance optimization in a wide temperature range. The ionic liquid EMIM-TFSI inhibits the volatilization and decomposition of the electrolyte at high temperatures, and interacts with lithium ions at low temperatures to reconstruct the solvation sheath and improve the lithium ion diffusion coefficient. Thermotropic liquid crystal intelligent responsive solvent additives self-assemble to form ion conduction channels at low temperatures, and disorder the molecular arrangement at high temperatures to reduce internal resistance, thereby realizing intelligent adjustment of electrolyte performance with temperature.
[0028] The pretreatment of the additive includes: adding the additive into a reaction container, using p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst, carrying out an esterification reaction in a toluene solution, removing the toluene by vacuum distillation after the reaction, and using n-hexane to recrystallize the product to obtain a self-healing film-forming additive.
[0029] In the pretreatment of the additive, the esterification reaction temperature is 100-120° C. and the reaction time is 8-10 hours.
[0030] ES forms a stable SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode to prevent further reaction between the electrolyte and the negative electrode. DM lowers the freezing point of the electrolyte and enhances the low-temperature migration ability of lithium ions. When the battery is overcharged, BP oxidatively polymerizes on the surface of the positive electrode to form a high-impedance film to prevent overcharging. The self-healing film-forming additive introduces disulfide bonds on the basis of ES. When the SEI film is damaged, it self-repairs through the dynamic covalent bond exchange reaction of the disulfide bonds, thereby extending the battery cycle life. The multifunctional integrated additive forms a stable SEI film on the negative electrode with its special molecular structure, and polymerizes at the positive electrode to achieve overcharge protection when overcharged at high temperature. At the same time, it lowers the freezing point of the electrolyte, simplifies the additive system, and reduces mutual interference.
[0031] Step 2: Place the organic solvent in a container with a magnetic stirrer and an ultrasonic probe, slowly add the lithium salt, and stir and ultrasonicate until the lithium salt is completely dissolved. The speed of the magnetic stirrer is 300-500r / min, the ultrasonic power is 200-300W, and the frequency is 40-50kHz. After dissolution, the treated organic solvent, lithium salt solution and additive are respectively injected into different inlets of the microfluidic chip for mixing and reaction.
