Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium electrochemical batteries, and in particular to a fluorinated block comb polymer electrolyte used in low-temperature lithium metal batteries. Background Art
[0002] Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are widely used in mobile phones, laptops, cameras, electric vehicles, and energy storage grids due to their high theoretical specific capacity and extremely low electrochemical potential. As their applications continue to expand and operating conditions become increasingly complex and variable, electrical equipment is placing increasingly stringent demands on the environmental adaptability and safety of LMBs. However, challenges such as difficulty charging at low temperatures, low discharge capacity, and short lifespan make them unsuitable for applications in extreme environments.
[0003] To prevent electrolyte leakage and improve safety and stability, solid-state electrolytes have received widespread attention. Among current solid-state electrolyte systems, gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are considered promising electrolyte materials due to their good flexibility and processability. However, at low temperatures, the reduced ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes and the slow lithium ion transport kinetics lead to increased battery polarization and interface deterioration, limiting the application of solid-state batteries in low-temperature environments.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a polymer electrolyte system with both good ion conduction properties and interface stability, explore the properties of polymer electrolytes optimized by chain segment group modification, and improve the low-temperature cycle life of batteries through a synergistic strategy of chemical composition optimization-interface engineering-structural design.

[0111] The results of the lithium ion migration number measurement of the lithium-lithium symmetric battery made of the fluorinated block comb polymer prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 2. Compared with Example 2, Example 1 shows that the amount of 2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl methacrylate used is low, which will reduce the lithium ion migration number; Compared with Example 3, Example 1 shows that the amount of 2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl methacrylate used is too high, which will also reduce the lithium ion efficiency; Compared with Examples 4 and 5, Example 1 shows that the length of the fluorinated side chain of the fluorinated acrylate monomer used needs to be in an appropriate range, which can effectively reduce the migration activation energy and increase the lithium ion migration number; Compared with Comparative Example 1, the lithium ion migration number of Example 1 is increased by 213%, verifying the decisive role of the fluorinated block in the selective transport of Li⁺.
[0112] Experimental Example 4:

[0117] Raman spectrum of the lithium-lithium symmetric battery made of the fluorinated block comb polymer prepared in Example 1 Figure 4 (a) shows the Raman spectrum of the lithium-lithium symmetric battery made of the fluorinated block comb polymer prepared in Comparative Example 1. Figure 4 (b)
[0118] Table 3 shows the statistical results of the solvation structure of lithium-lithium symmetric batteries made from the fluorinated block comb polymers prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. Raman peak fitting analysis at 25°C and -20°C for the lithium-lithium symmetric battery made from the fluorinated block comb polymer prepared in Example 1 shows that the proportion of free ions, contact ion pairs, and aggregates varies by less than 5%, indicating that the solvation shell structure of Li⁺ is minimally affected by temperature perturbations, maintaining a highly stable coordination environment. This stability stems from the strong electronegativity and steric hindrance of the fluorinated block. The lithium-lithium symmetric battery made from the fluorinated block comb polymer prepared in Comparative Example 1, which lacks a fluorinated block, exhibits significant temperature sensitivity of the solvation structure. At -20°C, the proportion of CIPs increases by >15%, while the proportion of SSIPs decreases by more than 10%, indicating that solvent molecules more easily form tight ion pairs or even aggregates with Li⁺ at low temperatures, hindering the desolvation process of Li⁺.

The lithium-lithium symmetric battery made from the fluorinated block comb polymer prepared in Comparative Example 2 can only cycle for about 380 hours at -20°C.

The polymer electrolyte precursor solution was injected between the polypropylene separator and the lithium metal sheet. The polymer electrolyte precursor solution was the same as that prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.

The rate performance of the lithium metal full cells was also determined. The test temperature was 25°C and the voltage range was 3.0-4.4V.
[0127] The charge and discharge cycle diagrams of the lithium metal full battery made of the fluorinated block comb polymer prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, compared with comparative example 1, the specific capacity of embodiment 1 decreases more slowly with the increase of rate, and when the rate returns to 0.1C, the specific capacity remains smooth without attenuation.

[0133]
[0134] The specific capacity of the lithium metal full cell prepared from the fluorinated block comb polymer prepared in Example 1, Example 6-9 and Comparative Example 1-2 was measured, and the results are shown in Table 4. Compared with Example 1 and Example 6, it shows that the use of methacrylate monomer and N,N'-(1,2-dihydroxyethylene) bisacrylamide can further improve the specific capacity of the lithium metal full cell prepared from the fluorinated block comb polymer. Compared with Example 6 and Example 7, it shows that the increase of the amount of methacrylate monomer within a certain range can also improve the specific capacity of the lithium metal full cell prepared from the fluorinated block comb polymer. Compared with Example 6 and Example 8, it shows that on the basis of using methacrylate monomer and N,N'-(1,2-dihydroxyethylene) bisacrylamide, the use of flax lignan can improve the specific capacity of the lithium metal full cell prepared from the fluorinated block comb polymer. Compared with Example 8 and Example 9, it shows that the increase of the amount of flax lignan can also further improve the specific capacity of the lithium metal full cell prepared from the fluorinated block comb polymer. Compared with Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it shows that the use of 2-(perfluorobutyl) ethyl methacrylate can effectively improve the specific capacity of the lithium metal full cell prepared from the fluorinated block comb polymer. Compared with Example 8 and Comparative Example 2, it shows that flax lignan needs to be used together with methacrylate monomer and N,N'-(1,2-dihydroxyethylene) bisacrylamide, and the use of flax lignan alone has no obvious effect on improving the specific capacity of the lithium metal full cell prepared from the fluorinated block comb polymer.
