Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium batteries, and in particular relates to a low-temperature-resistant and non-flammable polymer lithium battery electrolyte and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of energy storage technology, lithium batteries have become a hot research topic in the field of electrochemical energy storage due to their high energy density. However, the performance of these batteries depends largely on the selection and design of electrolytes.

[0003] Traditional non-aqueous liquid electrolytes are usually composed of lithium salts, high dielectric constant solvents and a small amount of additives. Such electrolytes often have high viscosity under low temperature conditions, which hinders the effective transmission of ions. In addition, their volatility and possible leakage risks also increase the safety risks of batteries, limiting their application in high energy density batteries. Although inorganic solid electrolytes can significantly improve the safety of batteries, their large rigidity leads to poor interfacial contact with electrodes, affecting the stability of the solid-solid interface and thus affecting the overall performance of the battery. Polymer electrolytes are considered to be an ideal electrolyte material due to their good interfacial contact and safety. However, traditional polymer electrolytes still have some problems, such as low ionic conductivity, poor stability of lithium negative electrodes and severe lithium dendrite growth. These problems limit the application of polymer electrolytes in high energy density batteries. Researchers have alleviated the above problems through methods such as modification of the polymer body (the ionic conductivity of the polymer matrix can be improved through copolymerization, blending, cross-linking, branching and grafting), modification of the electrolyte salt (lithium salts with low dissociation energy have a higher degree of dissociation in the polymer and can provide more freely mobile lithium ions), addition of inorganic nanofillers (fillers can inhibit the crystallization of the polymer, reduce the glass transition temperature, and at the same time improve the mechanical strength and ionic conductivity of the electrolyte), surface coating, and introduction of additives.

[0004] In recent years, researchers have introduced high-energy-density lithium metal negative electrodes and high-voltage positive electrode materials in order to improve the energy density of batteries. However, these materials place higher demands on electrolytes, especially stability under high-voltage conditions. Currently, there are few patents related to composite polymer solid electrolytes that are both low-temperature, non-flammable, and compatible with high-voltage positive electrodes. Therefore, the development of a polymer electrolyte that is compatible with high-voltage positive electrodes and can remain stable at low temperatures has become an urgent need for current research.

[0091] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in Step 2, drying is carried out in a vacuum oven for 24 h. The rest is the same as in Example 1, and the composite solid polymer electrolyte CPE-A5 is obtained. Using NCM811 as the active material, conductive carbon, and binder PVDF, a positive electrode sheet is prepared (slurry is made according to the mass ratio of active material:conductive carbon:binder of 90:5:5). Using a lithium sheet as the negative electrode, using CPE-A5 as the electrolyte, adding 10 μL of additive (a mixed solution of fluoroethylene carbonate and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether with a mass ratio of 3 / 7), assembling a Li|NCM811 coin cell for cyclic performance testing and conducting an ignition experiment on the solid polymer electrolyte.
