Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sodium ion batteries, and in particular relates to an ether electrolyte and a sodium ion battery thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sodium-ion batteries are rechargeable, secondary batteries that store and release electrical energy through the intercalation and deintercalation of sodium ions between the positive and negative electrodes. Due to the global availability and low cost of sodium resources, sodium-ion batteries are considered a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries, particularly for large-scale energy storage systems such as grid storage.

[0003] Hard carbon (HC) is an amorphous carbon material characterized by an irregular graphite layer structure and numerous micropores and defects. These properties make hard carbon an ideal anode material for sodium-ion batteries. Compared to other carbon materials, hard carbon offers higher sodium storage capacity and exhibits superior structural stability during cycling. Hard carbon is typically prepared by pyrolysis of biomass, polymers, or other carbon-containing precursors. Ether electrolytes are electrolytes whose solvents primarily consist of ether compounds. These electrolytes have a low dielectric constant and high chemical stability, maintaining stability over a wide voltage window. For sodium-ion batteries, ether electrolytes can effectively reduce side reactions and facilitate the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film, thereby improving battery safety and cycle life. Ether electrolytes also reduce the risk of reductive decomposition of the sodium metal or hard carbon anode surface, contributing to improved overall battery performance. Although ether electrolytes facilitate the formation of a stable SEI film, the stability of this film on the hard carbon surface may not be as expected. During long-term cycling, the SEI film may rupture or dissolve, leading to continuous decomposition of the electrolyte, affecting the battery's cycle life and capacity retention. In particular, the formation of an unstable SEI film significantly affects the sodium storage performance of the hard carbon anode material, further affecting the cycling stability of the electrode itself and the operating life of the battery device.

[0004] In addition, sodium vanadyl fluorophosphate (Na3V2(OPO4)2F, NVOPF), as a high-voltage cathode material for sodium-ion batteries, is considered an ideal candidate for large-scale energy storage due to its high theoretical specific energy (~507 Wh / kg) and safety. Ethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvents, typical solvents for ether electrolytes, have become key media for improving NVOPF battery performance due to their low melting point, high ionic conductivity, and excellent sodium ion solvation ability. However, in actual use, the high voltage operating conditions (>4.2 V) of NVOPF-based sodium-ion batteries cause the continuous decomposition of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvents, resulting in decreased cycling stability, which needs to be further addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention proposes an ether electrolyte and a sodium ion battery thereof, wherein the ether electrolyte can improve the cycle stability of the hard carbon negative electrode and the NVOPF positive electrode.

[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present invention provides an ether electrolyte comprising methyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetate, an ether solvent and a sodium salt, wherein the ether solvent is ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether or triethylene glycol dimethyl ether.

[0007] Preferably, the ether solvent is ethylene glycol dimethyl ether.

[0008] Preferably, the sodium salt is sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, sodium bis(trifluorosulfonyl)imide, sodium perchlorate or sodium hexafluorophosphate.

[0009] Furthermore, the sodium salt is sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide or sodium hexafluorophosphate.

[0010] Preferably, the content of methyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetate is 0.1 wt% to 5 wt% of the total mass of the ether solvent and the sodium salt.

[0011] Preferably, the concentration of the sodium salt is 0.5-2 mol / L.

[0012] Furthermore, the concentration of the sodium salt is 0.5~1.2 mol / L.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a sodium ion battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode and an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte is the ether electrolyte as described above, and the positive electrode comprises a current collector and sodium vanadium fluorophosphate loaded on the current collector.

[0014] Furthermore, the negative electrode includes a current collector and a hard carbon material supported on the current collector.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a sodium ion battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode and an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte is the ether electrolyte as described above, and the negative electrode comprises a current collector and a hard carbon material loaded on the current collector.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention introduces methyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl) acetate (MDFSA) into an ether electrolyte system based on ethylene glycol dimethyl ether. The sulfonyl oxygen (-S=O) and carbonyl oxygen (-C=O) groups on the methyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl) acetate molecule possess lone pairs of electrons, serving as potential coordination sites. Due to the high polarity and specific oxygen atom type (especially the sulfonyl oxygen) of the methyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl) acetate molecule, it retains a strong affinity for Na⁺ (a strong Lewis acid). Consequently, the methyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl) acetate molecules compete with and partially replace the ethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvent molecules originally coordinated around Na⁺, forming [Na⁺(solvent) x (additive) y ] mixed solvation sheath structure. Therefore, the introduction of 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetic acid methyl ester can change the solvation structure of sodium ions in the electrolyte. When the oxidation reaction occurs under high voltage conditions on the positive electrode surface, the reaction occurs in advance at the interface. The constructed electrode electrolyte interface passivates the degree of reaction at the interface, thereby inhibiting the decomposition reaction of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvents, thereby improving the stability of sodium ion batteries based on NVOPF. At the same time, after the introduction of 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetic acid methyl ester, the interaction with sodium ions and solvents is enhanced, which broadens the electrochemical window of the electrolyte and improves the antioxidant capacity and stability of the electrolyte under high voltage conditions. In addition, during the first cycle, 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetic acid methyl ester decomposes to generate sodium fluoride and sodium sulfide and deposits on the surface of the hard carbon negative electrode, forming a relatively stable SEI film on the surface of the hard carbon negative electrode, thereby improving the reversible sodium storage stability of the hard carbon negative electrode. The generated SEI film acts as a fast ion conductor for sodium ions, improving the Na + The migration kinetics of Na + The uniform deposition of 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetate improves the cycling stability of the hard carbon anode. Furthermore, the introduction of methyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetate increases the decomposition voltage of the electrolyte, improves the decomposition pathway of substances on the electrode surface, inhibits the side reactions of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvents on the anode surface, reduces unnecessary solvent loss during cycling, and extends battery life.

[0017] The sodium ion battery of the present invention uses NVOPF as the positive electrode material and an ether electrolyte of 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl) methyl acetate and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether as the electrolyte. The 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl) methyl acetate molecules will compete with and partially replace the ethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvent molecules originally coordinated around Na⁺, forming [Na⁺(solvent) x (additive) y]'s mixed solvation sheath structure reacts in advance at the interface when an oxidation reaction occurs under high voltage conditions on the positive electrode surface. The constructed electrode-electrolyte interface passivates the degree of reaction at the interface, thereby inhibiting the decomposition reaction of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvents, thereby improving the stability of sodium-ion batteries based on NVOPF.

[0018] Furthermore, using hard carbon as the negative electrode material, during the first cycle, 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetic acid methyl ester decomposes to produce sodium fluoride and sodium sulfide and deposits on the surface of the hard carbon negative electrode, forming a relatively stable SEI film on the surface of the hard carbon negative electrode, thereby improving the cycle stability of the hard carbon negative electrode.
