Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy battery safety technology and fire prevention and control, specifically relating to a new energy battery fire extinguishing agent and its preparation method for thermal runaway fires of lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries, sodium metal batteries and solid-state batteries. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of new energy batteries, their safety has become an increasing concern. Current new energy battery fire extinguishing agents suffer from the following technical deficiencies:
[0003] Insufficient fire extinguishing efficiency: Perfluorohexanone (Novec 1230) relies on endothermic cooling, with a fire extinguishing time >2 seconds (see CN113350814A), making it difficult to suppress the explosive thermal runaway of high-density batteries (such as NCM811); PFPE-based aerosols (CN114632327A) have a slow diffusion rate (3-5 seconds) due to their high viscosity, and are prone to decomposition at high temperatures, producing corrosive byproducts.
[0004] Poor reignition suppression capability: Existing fire extinguishing agents cannot block the dendrite regeneration and secondary ignition of electrolyte vapors in lithium / sodium metal batteries, with a reignition rate as high as 15-30% (UL 9540A test).
[0005] Environmental adaptability limitations: Heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea) exhibits a sharp decrease in fluidity below -40°C (CN112107829A) and cannot penetrate the cracks in solid-state battery electrolytes, such as the micron-sized pores of Li10GeP2S12.
[0006] Lack of compatibility with sodium batteries: Traditional fire extinguishing agents are not optimized for the formation of NaH and the passivation layer of sodium batteries, resulting in a re-ignition rate of >40% for sodium metal batteries (tested in GB / T 36276-2018).
[0007] The current technological challenge is the urgent need for a fire extinguishing agent that combines sub-second fire suppression, zero reignition, and full-scenario coverage (lithium / sodium / solid-state batteries) while meeting the requirements for environmental protection and adaptability to extreme environments. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address current technical pain points by proposing a new energy battery fire extinguishing agent and its preparation method, which solves one or more technical defects of existing fire extinguishing agents.
[0009] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a new energy battery fire extinguishing agent is proposed, comprising the following components by mass percentage: 50-60% supercritical fluorinated ketone; 10-20% Pt-Ir@ZrO2 core-shell nanoparticles; 8-12% perfluorinated-15-crown-5 ether; 5-10% LaF3-LiPO2F2 complex; 5-8% carbon nanotube-reinforced LiBO2 microcapsules; 3-5% Al2O3-reinforced aerogel; and 1-3% Pt-Ir bimetallic catalyst.
[0010] Preferably, the new energy battery fire extinguishing agent of the present invention comprises the following components by mass percentage: 55% supercritical fluorinated ketone; 15% Pt-Ir@ZrO2 core-shell nanoparticles; 10% perfluorinated-15-crown-5 ether; 8% LaF3-LiPO2F2 complex; 6% carbon nanotube-reinforced LiBO2 microcapsules; 4% Al2O3-reinforced aerogel; and 2% Pt-Ir bimetallic catalyst.
[0011] The supercritical fluorinated ketone is a C6 fluorinated ketone with the chemical structure CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2. Its boiling point is -5℃, latent heat of vaporization is 220kJ / kg, critical temperature is 31℃, and critical pressure is 3.8MPa. In the supercritical state, it diffuses instantaneously to the battery surface, and the endothermic vaporization causes the temperature to drop sharply from 1500℃ to below 200℃. Its low surface tension of 12mN / m allows it to quickly penetrate into the electrode pores, blocking the release of electrolyte vapor.
[0012] The Pt-Ir@ZrO2 core-shell nanoparticles are synthesized by atomic layer deposition. The core is ZrO2, and the shell is composed of alternating layers of Ir and Pt with a molar ratio of Pt to Ir of 1:1, forming Pt-Ir bimetallic active sites. The catalytic mechanism is as follows: Pt preferentially adsorbs CO and catalyzes its oxidation to CO2; Ir efficiently activates O2 and promotes the conversion of ·CH3 free radicals into H2O.
[0013] The LaF3-LiPO2F2 composite is synthesized into LaF3 nanosheets by hydrothermal method, which are then ball-milled and mixed with LiPO2F2 and calcined to form a porous composite structure; its passivation reaction generates a LiF-LiPO2F2-LaF3 ternary passivation layer.
[0014] The carbon nanotube-reinforced LiBO2 microcapsules have a shell structure of thermosensitive PNIPAM and pH-responsive PDA, and a core structure of LiBO2 nanowires and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The rupture time is <0.1 seconds and the penetration depth is ≥1.8 mm. The LiBO2-MWCNTs released after rupture are used to repair cracks in solid electrolytes and prevent secondary fractures.
[0015] The Al2O3-reinforced aerogel has an Al2O3 nanolayer deposited on its surface, which is heat-resistant up to 1500℃ and provides heat insulation for more than 8 hours. The Al2O3 nanolayer inhibits high-temperature shrinkage.
[0016] The new energy batteries mentioned include, but are not limited to, lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries, sodium metal batteries, and solid-state batteries.
[0017] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing a new energy battery fire extinguishing agent is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0021] S4, Supercritical Mixing and Filling: Mix the components in a supercritical CO2 reactor and fill them into pressure tanks.
[0022] Step S3 of encapsulating the dynamic response microcapsules further includes:
[0023] Step S31: Preparation of oil phase and aqueous phase, wherein the oil phase consists of 5 mL of perfluorohexanone + 0.1 g of Span 80 emulsifier, ultrasonically dispersed for 10 minutes; the aqueous phase consists of 5 wt% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution + 2 g of NIPAM monomer + 0.02 g of crosslinking agent MBA;
[0024] Step S32: Microfluidic emulsification and polymerization: Microfluidic process is used, with an oil phase / water phase flow rate ratio of 1:4, a particle size of 50-100μm, and polymerization at 60℃ for 4h. Microcapsules with a particle size of 50-100μm are collected by centrifugation.
[0025] Step S33: Core loading: Using a vacuum impregnation method, the core of the microcapsule is loaded with LiBO2-CNT composite nanowires and Pt-Ir bimetallic particles in a mass ratio of 4:1.
[0026] The fire extinguishing agent for new energy batteries and its preparation method proposed in this invention, with "supercritical gasification endothermic + bimetallic catalytic free radical scavenging + dynamic response repair" as the core, achieves sub-second extinguishing (≤0.5 seconds) and zero reignition (verified after 720 hours) of new energy battery fires through the synergistic effect of multiple components, and can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. Limiting the fire extinguishing speed: ≤0.5-second fire extinguishing is achieved through supercritical fluorinated ketone transient gasification endothermic and bimetallic catalytic free radical scavenging; 2. Reignition eradication: Combined with a ternary passivation layer (LiF-Li 3. Full-scenario coverage: compatible with lithium / sodium-ion batteries, lithium / sodium metal batteries, and solid-state batteries, withstanding extreme temperatures of -100℃ to 1500℃ and high pressure of 50MPa; 4. Green and safe: adopts non-PFAS materials and fully biodegradable design, with a biodegradability rate of >65%, non-toxic (LD50>5000mg / kg), and mass production cost <$1000 / kg (10 tons / year scale).
