Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a water-absorbing material and a preparation method thereof, as well as an electrolyte and a battery. Background Art

[0002] Moisture needs to be controlled during the production of lithium batteries. For example, the moisture content in the environment during the assembly of battery electrodes and core packs needs to be strictly controlled to prevent moisture from being adsorbed onto the surfaces of the electrodes and diaphragms, and then reacting with the electrolyte to generate hydrofluoric acid, which can lead to decreased battery performance or safety hazards.

[0003] The control of moisture in the lithium battery production process mainly relies on strict environmental humidity management and material drying. Environmental humidity management is to control the environmental moisture value of the manufacturing process. For example, the relative humidity of the environment during the electrode preparation process should not be higher than 20%. A low humidity environment should be used for slurry mixing, coating, rolling and other processes to prevent moisture from entering the electrode material; in the battery cell assembly stage, the relative humidity of the environment should not be higher than 20%. In the winding, shelling, welding and other processes, a low humidity environment should be maintained to prevent moisture from entering the battery cell. Material drying is baking before the battery cell is injected. Environmental humidity management increases the cost of process environment control and creates an environment that is not suitable for workers to work and live. Material drying increases the baking cost and causes thermal damage to the diaphragm. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "upper" and "lower", generally refer to the upper and lower parts of the device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the accompanying drawings; while "inside" and "outside" refer to the outline of the device.

[0022] The technical solution of this application is as follows: In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a water-absorbing material, comprising a molecular sieve, nanoparticles and hexanetrinitrile, wherein the nanoparticles comprise one or more of transition metal oxides, transition metal hydroxides and magnesium oxide nanoparticles.

[0023] In this application, the physical water absorption of molecular sieves and nanoparticles and the chemical water absorption of hexanetrionitrile work together to improve the efficiency and sustainability of water removal, reduce the requirements for controlling the humidity of the production environment during battery production, and thus reduce production costs. At the same time, harmful byproducts such as newly generated water inside the battery during use can be removed, alleviating the performance degradation problems such as safety and lifespan caused by water and its side reactions.

[0024] In the present application, the molecular sieve has excellent hygroscopic properties and can effectively adsorb moisture inside the battery; hexane trinitrile can react chemically with moisture to generate stable compounds, thereby reducing the moisture content in the battery while being compatible with the internal environment of the lithium battery; nanoparticles can remove moisture and byproducts such as HF generated by the reaction of moisture with the electrolyte through physical adsorption, thereby enhancing the removal effect of impurities generated by the moisture reaction.

[0025] As examples, molecular sieves include, but are not limited to, natural zeolites, synthetic zeolites, and modified molecular sieves, such as titanium silicalite (such as TS-1).

[0026] In some embodiments, the nanoparticles include magnesium oxide nanoparticles.

[0027] In some embodiments, molecular sieves are coated on the surface of nanoparticles to form a nanoparticle@molecular sieve core-shell material. This molecular sieve has a high specific surface area. By encapsulating the nanoparticles within the shell formed by the molecular sieve, a core-shell structure capable of sustained water absorption can be formed, increasing the contact area between the nanoparticles and water, thereby enhancing the water absorption efficiency of the nanoparticles and molecular sieve.

[0028] In some embodiments, the mass percentage ratio of the molecular sieve to the nanoparticles is (0.1%-10%): (90%-99.9%), for example, 0.1%:99.9%, 1%:99%, 2%:98%, 3%:97%, 4%:96%, 5%:95%, 6%:94%, 7%:93%, 8%:92%, 9%:91%, 10%:90%, etc. In this way, the hygroscopic properties and reactivity of the water-absorbing material can be controlled, so that it can continuously and effectively remove moisture during battery use.

[0029] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the nanoparticles is 100 nm-5 mm, for example, 100 nm, 500 nm, 1000 nm, 5000 nm, 10000 nm, 50000 nm, 100000 nm, 500000 nm, 1 mm, 5 mm, etc.

[0030] In some embodiments, the thickness of the molecular sieve shell of the nanoparticle@molecular sieve core-shell material is 1 nm-3 mm, for example, it can be 100 nm, 500 nm, 1000 nm, 5000 nm, 10000 nm, 50000 nm, 100000 nm, 500000 nm, 1 mm, 3 mm, etc.

[0031] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the molecular sieve is disposed within the first shell, and the material of the first shell is soluble in the electrolyte. Because the molecular sieve is granular, disposing the molecular sieve within the first shell can prevent dust from being generated, thereby reducing the impact on battery performance and facilitating rapid and quantitative dosing.

[0032] In some embodiments, the maximum diameter of the first shell is 50 μm-7 mm, for example, 50 μm, 100 μm, 300 μm, 500 μm, 700 μm, 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, etc.

[0033] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first shell is 500 nm-200 μm, for example, it can be 500 nm, 700 nm, 1 μm, 10 μm, 50 μm, 70 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, etc.

[0034] It can be understood that the first shell can be elliptical, circular, quasi-elliptical, or quasi-circular, and the maximum diameter refers to the maximum value of the distance between two points on the shell surface.

[0035] In some embodiments, the material of the first shell includes one or more of polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and polystyrene sulfonate (PSS).

[0036] See also Figure 2In some embodiments, the hexane trinitrile is disposed within the second shell, and the material of the second shell is a slow-release material. By disposing the hexane trinitrile within the second shell, contact between the hexane trinitrile and the molecular sieve can be reduced, thereby preventing the hexane trinitrile from clogging the active sites of the molecular sieve, thereby improving the water absorption efficiency of the water-absorbing material. Furthermore, the slow-release material allows the hexane trinitrile in the second shell to be slowly released, thereby extending its duration of action and facilitating rapid quantitative administration.

[0037] In some embodiments, the material of the second shell includes one or more of a porous material, polyvinylidene fluoride resin (PVDF), and polyethylene oxide (PEO).

[0038] In some embodiments, the diameter of the second shell is 50 μm-7 mm, for example, it can be 50 μm, 100 μm, 300 μm, 500 μm, 700 μm, 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, etc.

[0039] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second shell is 500 nm-200 μm, for example, it can be 500 nm, 700 nm, 1 μm, 10 μm, 50 μm, 70 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, etc.

[0044] In some embodiments, the molar concentration of the acid is 0.1 mol / L-0.5 mol / L, for example, 0.1 mol / L, 0.2 mol / L, 0.3 mol / L, 0.4 mol / L, 0.5 mol / L, etc.

[0054] In some embodiments, the dispersant is polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), thereby controlling the particle size and pore structure of the molecular sieve.

[0055] In some embodiments, the dispersion is ultrasonic dispersion, which can make the nanoparticles more uniformly adsorbed in the shell of the molecular sieve.
