Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of secondary batteries, and particularly to a nitrile-based fast-charging polymer electrolyte and a secondary lithium battery. Background Art

[0002] Solid polymer lithium batteries are expected to replace liquid lithium-ion batteries due to their advantages such as high specific energy and high safety. The earliest research on solid polymer electrolytes was the complex of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and alkali metal ions, whose ionic conductivity reached 10 -5 S / cm at 40 - 60 °C, and it had good film-forming properties and could be used as a lithium-ion battery electrolyte. Subsequently, a series of new polymer electrolytes have been gradually developed, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), vinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVDF-HFP), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), etc. However, there are supramolecular interactions similar to hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces between such polymer segments, resulting in a relatively high crystallinity, which in turn reduces the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte. Therefore, how to solve this problem of polymer electrolytes has become the research focus in lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] Plasticizers can be inserted between polymer molecular chains, thereby weakening the stress between polymer molecular chains, increasing the mobility of polymer molecular chains and reducing their crystallinity. The existing polymer electrolyte plasticizers are mainly carbonate and ether compounds. However, the polarity of C=O in carbonates and C-O in ether solvents is relatively low, resulting in poor plasticizing effects on the target polymer and limited improvement in ionic conductivity, making it difficult to achieve the improvement of battery fast-charging performance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new polymer electrolyte. Summary of the Invention

[0091] Test Example:

[0092] 1. Ionic conductivity: The ionic conductivity of the batteries assembled in the above examples and comparative examples was tested using an electrochemical workstation. The test results are shown in Table 1. It can be seen from the results that the ionic conductivity of Example 1 is 8.2×10 -3 S / cm, which is better than most current solid electrolytes.

[0093] 2. The full batteries assembled in the above examples were subjected to rate performance testing on a charge-discharge tester. The voltage range was 3.0 - 4.2V, and the rate test range was 0.2C / 0.2C to 15C / 15C. The test results are as Figure 1 shown. Table 1 shows the discharge capacity at a rate of 8C / 8C. Combining Figure 1 with Table 1, it can be seen that the rate performance of Examples 1 - 3 is excellent.

[0094] 3. The batteries assembled in the above examples were subjected to fast charge and long cycle performance testing on a charge-discharge tester. The voltage range was 3.0 - 4.2V, and the rate was 8C / 8C. The test results are as Figure 2 shown. Combining Figure 2 with Table 1, it can be seen that Examples 1 - 3 have high ionic conductivity and excellent fast charge and long cycle performance. In Example 8, the nitrile compound 2-methylmalononitrile was not added, and in Examples 6 and 7, only one nitrile compound was added. Their fast charge and long cycle performance was improved compared to Example 8. The fast charge and long cycle performance of Examples 1 - 3 was further improved compared to Examples 6 and 7. Thus, it shows that in the electrolyte of the present application, using nitrile compounds as plasticizers and introducing nitrile polymers improves the fast charge and long cycle performance of the battery. When two nitrile compounds are added in a specific ratio, the fast charge and long cycle performance of the battery can be further improved. The capacity retention rates of Examples 9, 10, and 12 after 100 cycles were lower than those of Example 1 and Example 11. In particular, the capacity retention rate of Example 12 was the lowest, indicating that adding nitrile polymer monomers in combination with nitrile compounds and in-situ or non-in-situ polymerizing them into nitrile polymers can improve the fast charge and long cycle performance of the battery.

After 100 cycles, the capacity retention rates of Examples 4-8 are significantly lower than that of Example 1. Especially for Example 8, it can be seen that adding a specific nitrile compound to the polymer as a plasticizer helps to improve its slow charge long cycle performance. After 100 cycles, the capacity retention rates of Examples 9, 10, and 12 are lower than those of Example 1 and Example 11. Especially, the capacity retention rate of Example 12 is the lowest, indicating that adding a nitrile polymerization monomer and in-situ or non-in-situ polymerizing it into a nitrile polymer can improve the slow charge long cycle performance of the battery.
