Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery cells, specifically to a cell gas absorption and enrichment material, its preparation method, and an anti-bulging lithium battery. Background Technology
[0002] Gas generation in battery cells during charge-discharge cycles and use is a common phenomenon, occurring under both normal operating conditions and extreme conditions such as high temperatures. For example, during normal use, electrolyte redox decomposition occurs. In the high-potential region of the positive electrode, electrolyte solvent molecules lose electrons and are oxidized, generating gases such as CO2 and CO. In the low-potential region of the negative electrode, solvent molecules gain electrons and are reduced, generating alkanes (such as CH4 and C2H6) and alkenes (such as C2H4). This process is directly related to the battery's charge-discharge state and continues to occur during normal cycling, making it an unavoidable side reaction. Additionally, the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film forms during the battery's first charge-discharge (formation), a process that generates gases such as CO, CO2, and C2H4. As the battery cycles, the SEI film continuously ruptures and repairs, with each repair process accompanied by new gas-generating reactions. This gas-generating mechanism persists throughout the battery's lifespan, becoming particularly pronounced under high-temperature environments. Under high temperature or extreme conditions, the SEI film will undergo thermal decomposition. That is, when the temperature exceeds 80-120℃, unstable components in the SEI film (such as ROCO2Li) begin to decompose, releasing gases such as CO2 and accompanied by exothermic reactions, which may further accelerate the thermal runaway process. In addition, the binders commonly used in the negative electrode, such as PVDF and CMC, will decompose to produce H2 at high temperature or high reduction potential. At the same time, the high-nickel ternary cathode (such as NCM811 and NCA) has an unstable crystal structure under high temperature (greater than 180℃) and deep delithiation state, which will release active oxygen (O2). These active oxygens will further react with the electrolyte to produce a large amount of CO and CO2 gas, while releasing a large amount of heat.
[0003] In summary, the gaseous composition generated during thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries is complex, but mainly consists of CO2 (35-50%), CO (25-35%), H2 (15-25%), C2H4 (5-10%), and CH4 (3-8%), accounting for over 99% of the total gas content. When the generated gases cannot be expelled in time, they can trigger a series of chain reactions within the battery and at the system level. The most common hazard is battery swelling and bulging, which can lead to casing rupture and electrolyte leakage, and even flammable gas explosions and thermal runaway chain reactions.
[0004] Currently, the industry has developed a multi-layered approach to address battery gas generation, forming a comprehensive prevention and control system from source suppression to process control and end-of-pipe protection. Firstly, pressure relief and venting technologies are used, including mechanical pressure relief valves, active venting systems, and thermal runaway-oriented diversion. Secondly, environmental control is strengthened, including intelligent charging management, intelligent temperature regulation, and over-discharge protection. Thirdly, the materials and designs of electrolytes and electrodes can be optimized. For example, patent CN118160141A discloses a cell venting channel, a battery device, and a method for venting gas from a battery, which can effectively and safely remove harmful gases from the battery. However, this type of guided venting method has the following drawbacks: it only vents high-temperature flammable gases from the battery system, without addressing the flammability / toxicity of the gases. Gases vented outside the vehicle may still accumulate to explosive limits in enclosed spaces (such as garages), or spontaneously combust upon contact with air, or threaten personnel safety. If the venting is connected to a collection device, the collection device, along with the existing chambers and diversion channels, will increase the volume and reduce the battery pack's energy density.
[0005] Therefore, direct adsorption can be used to absorb the gas directly inside the battery cell, avoiding or reducing emissions. For example, patent document CN110050375A, filed by Kurita Industrial Co., Ltd., discloses a carbon-based porous material that can be used to absorb methane gas generated during lithium-ion battery malfunctions. Another example is patent document CN117477049A, filed by Beijing Xibei Power Technology Co., Ltd., which discloses a battery and its containing cell that absorb and channel gas, also using a conductive porous carbon material for cell gas adsorption. However, these carbon-based porous materials are not suitable for complex cell gases with multiple components, have low overall absorption rates, and suffer from significant volume expansion after adsorption, as well as poor electrochemical safety.

[0033] (2) The present invention uses boron-doped graphene aerogel as a conductive support framework to provide mechanical support and electronic conduction path, and reserves gas diffusion channel. It also has a certain elastic modulus to resist adsorption stress. At the same time, after pre-expansion treatment, the overall volume expansion rate of the material can be significantly reduced.
[0034] (3) The present invention can block electrolyte penetration by depositing Li3PO4 nanolayer on the surface of conductive support framework. At the same time, an ALD porous protective film is deposited on the surface of MnO2-Ni3N heterojunction nanoarray using atomic layer deposition technology. The grain boundary channel does not affect the adsorption effect and can also prevent metal dissolution and contamination of electrolyte, reduce electrochemical interference, and maintain the catalytic mechanism. In addition, the use of Ni3N catalysis can avoid the use of precious metals and prevent short circuit caused by reduced metals, resulting in high safety and stability. Detailed Implementation

The arrays were then immersed in a 0.05M NiCl2 solution for 5 min, removed, and purged with nitrogen. Following this, a nitriding treatment was performed (reacting at 400℃ for 1 h in an NH3 atmosphere) to obtain a MnO2-Ni3N heterojunction nanoarray. Finally, an ALD porous protective film was atomically deposited on the array surface using trimethylaluminum and deionized water as alternating precursors. The atomic layer deposition temperature was 120℃, the number of cycles was 15 cycles, and the single-cycle growth rate was 0.11±0.01 nm / cycle, resulting in a catalytic conversion layer.

The breathable membrane encapsulation refers to hot-pressing the product with an ePTFE membrane with a thickness of 50μm and a pore size of 0.2±0.02μm. The hot-pressing temperature is 145℃, the pressure is 0.5MPa, and the time is 9s, thus obtaining the cell gas absorption and enrichment material.

[0117] II. Performance Testing
[0118] (1) Gas adsorption capacity test
[0119] Samples of the battery cell gas absorption enrichment materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5, with the same dimensions (100mm × 100mm × 0.5mm), were cut and placed together with the composite gas in a glass desiccator and sealed. The concentration changes of each gas inside the desiccator at 20°C and normal pressure were then measured using a CO2 sensor and a gas chromatograph. The gas pressure inside the desiccator was monitored in real time during the adsorption process, and the pressure was kept constant by changing the volume. Finally, the adsorption amount of each gas was measured after 27 hours.
[0120] The composition of the above-mentioned composite gas is shown in Table 1 below:
[0121] Table 1: Composition of the composite gas
[0122]
[0123] (2) Battery stability test
[0124] Take the anti-bulging lithium battery samples prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 respectively, charge the batteries at 1C at 45°C, let them stand for 10 minutes, and then discharge them at 1C. Repeat the charge and discharge steps, and calculate the capacity retention rate and volume expansion rate after 500 cycles according to the following formula.

[0127] III. Results Analysis
[0128] The results of the above gas adsorption capacity test and battery stability test are statistically summarized in Tables 2 and 3 below:
[0129] Table 2: Results of Gas Adsorption Capacity Test
[0130]
[0131] Table 3: Battery Stability Test Results
[0132]
[0133] As can be seen from Tables 2 and 3 above, Examples 1-3 of the present invention have certain adsorption activities for CO2, CO, H2, C2H4 and CH4. When applied to the adsorption of gas in the battery cell, they can meet the requirements of normal working conditions. In terms of battery stability testing, the capacity retention rate after 500 cycles is more than 88.1%, and the volume expansion rate is less than 7.9%, which is also very excellent.
[0134] Comparative Examples 1-5 were all single-factor adjustments based on Example 2. Specifically: Comparative Example 1 did not have a Li3PO4 nanolayer deposited on the conductive support framework surface, and the adsorption amounts of each gas did not change significantly. However, the volume expansion rate increased to 15.1% compared to Example 2, and the capacity retention rate decreased to 83.1%, possibly due to the influence of electrolyte permeation. In Comparative Example 2, the coating order of the two adsorption layers was changed: first, an amino-modified MIL-101(Cr) slurry was coated, followed by a ZIF-8@activated carbon core-shell slurry. This resulted in a significant decrease in the adsorption amounts of CO2, CO, and C2H4, while the volume expansion rate increased to 12.4% compared to Example 2, and the capacity retention rate decreased. The capacity retention rate also decreased to 85.3%; in Comparative Example 3, no ALD porous protective film was deposited on the surface of the catalytic conversion layer, resulting in a slight decrease in the adsorption capacity for most gases. At the same time, the volume expansion rate increased to 85.8% compared to Example 2, and the capacity retention rate decreased to 10.6%; in Comparative Example 4, the entire catalytic conversion layer was removed, resulting in a significant decrease in the adsorption capacity for CO and H2. At the same time, the volume expansion rate increased to 14.8% compared to Example 2, and the capacity retention rate decreased to 84.9%; in Comparative Example 5, the pre-expansion treatment process was omitted, and the adsorption capacity of each gas did not change significantly. However, the volume expansion rate increased to 22.7% compared to Example 2, and the capacity retention rate decreased to 80.6%.
[0135] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
