Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application provides an electrolyte, a lithium ion battery and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing demand for electric vehicles and portable devices, the development of lithium ion batteries is also changing rapidly. In commercial lithium ion batteries, the positive electrode material is a key factor that determines the energy density and cost of lithium ion batteries. Among the many candidate positive electrode materials, high-nickel positive electrode material LiNi x M 1-x O2(M = Mn, Co, Al, etc.) has the potential to achieve high energy density and is the most mature in development, with an energy density ranging from 650 Wh kg -1 to more than 850 Wh kg -1 At the same time, the cycle life is also quite considerable, reaching 1500-3000 cycles.

[0003] However, high-nickel positive electrodes have a structure collapse phenomenon, which may be caused by two types of side reactions: one is the decomposition reaction of lithium-related compounds (such as LiOH, LiHCO3 and Li2CO3) remaining on the surface and the side reaction with the acidic environment of the system; the other is the oxidation reaction between the electrolyte and the high-nickel positive electrode in the high delithiation state. This will cause damage to the material structure, mechanical failure of the battery shell, and even battery explosion, so there is a certain risk in safety performance.

[0004] The existing means to solve the transition metal overflow of high-nickel positive electrodes are mainly: 1) coating the material; 2) adjusting the solvent ratio in the electrolyte. The coating of the material is mainly through the method of atomic layer deposition to coat a layer of oxide protective film on the material or the electrode sheet level, but such a method will affect the energy density of the system, and has a negative effect on the dynamics of the material. On the other hand, adjusting the solvent ratio in the electrolyte reduces the use of ethylene carbonate (EC), which can reduce the oxidation side reaction of EC on the positive electrode side, thereby reducing high-temperature gas production, but the reduction of EC also has a serious impact on the dynamics. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides an electrolyte, a lithium ion battery and an electronic device. The electrolyte of the present application contains a specific additive, and the lithium ion battery using the electrolyte has excellent low-temperature dynamics and high-temperature cycle performance.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The first aspect of the present application provides an electrolyte, which comprises a compound represented by formula I and a fluorinated carbonate;

[0008]

[0009] Formula I

[0010] wherein R1 and R2 are each independently a substituent having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, 0 to 4 degrees of unsaturation, and 0 to 3 numbers of heteroatoms.

[0011] A second aspect of the present application provides a lithium ion battery including the electrolyte described above.

[0012] A third aspect of the present application provides an electronic device including the lithium ion battery described above.

[0013] The positive progress effect of the present application is that:

[0014] The present application can form a phosphate-carbonate copolymer SEI film containing LiF on the electrode surface during the operation of the lithium ion battery by adding a specific cyanophosphonate compound as an additive in the electrolyte, in combination with fluorocarbonates, through complexation of metal ions and nucleophilic substitution reactions, while improving the low-temperature kinetic performance and high-temperature cycle performance of the lithium ion battery. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present application will be further described below by way of examples, but the present application is not limited to the scope of the examples described. In the following examples, the experimental methods not specified in the specific conditions are selected according to the conventional methods and conditions, or according to the instructions of the goods.

[0016] In the electrolyte described in the first aspect of the present application, the electrolyte includes a compound represented by Formula I and a fluorocarbonate;

[0020] In the present application, the compound shown in formula I is a cyanophosphonate compound, the structure containing cyanogen, the mechanism of complexing metal ions mainly involving coordination chemistry and structural characteristics, the N atom having lone pair of electrons, which can be coordinated with metal ions as Lewis base; and the P atom having empty 3d orbital, which can participate in π backbonding or auxiliary coordination, and also can have the function of complexing transition metal. The cyanophosphonate compound shown in formula I is used in combination with fluorocarbonate, and the phosphorus atom in fluorocarbonate (due to the strong electron-withdrawing effect of cyanogen, the P=O bond is polarized, and the phosphorus is positively charged) can become the nucleophilic attack site of the fluorine atom in fluorocarbonate. The C-F bond in fluorocarbonate is replaced under the action of nucleophilic reagents (such as ethoxy or cyanogen) to generate fluorine-containing phosphonate derivatives and release LiF. The nucleophilic group (such as ethoxy or cyanogen) in the cyanophosphonate compound attacks the carbonyl carbon of fluorocarbonate, leading to ring opening of the cyclic carbonate, forming a phosphonate-carbonate covalent compound SEI film containing LiF.
