Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of secondary batteries, in particular to an electrolyte and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion batteries have high specific energy, lightweight, long cycle life and other advantages, and dominate in application fields such as consumer electronics, new energy vehicles and energy storage. The current mainstream lithium battery uses organic solvents as electrolytes, which will cause a series of safety problems in high temperature environment, such as electrolyte decomposition, gasification, etc., and these electrolytes are flammable, which makes the liquid lithium ion battery face serious safety challenges in high temperature environment.

[0003] Solid-state batteries are considered as a solution to improve battery safety. Solid-state batteries use non-flammable solid electrolytes instead of flammable organic solvents, which can greatly reduce the safety hazards related to high-temperature thermal runaway and electrolyte combustion. In addition to this, solid-state batteries have other advantages, such as solid-state electrolytes that can resist lithium dendrites, so solid-state batteries can also match metal lithium with ultra-high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh / g) as negative electrode material. However, solid-state batteries face the challenge of significant decrease in ionic conductivity in low temperature environment, which is one of the key bottlenecks restricting the application of solid-state batteries in low temperature scenarios. For example, the ionic conductivity of sulfide solid-state electrolyte is only 0.1~0.2 ms / cm at-20℃.

[0004] Therefore, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0031] (A); (B);

[0032] (C); (D).

[0033] In an embodiment, the content of the additive in the electrolyte is 1wt.% to 3wt.%.

[0034] A secondary battery comprising the electrolyte.

[0035] An electrical equipment comprising the secondary battery.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] The present application provides an electrolyte material capable of reversible phase change in an organic solvent, which has high temperature safety and can achieve high low-temperature ionic conductivity at low temperature. The electrolyte comprises a specific alternating copolymer as a phase change polymer material, and three solvents, a lithium salt and other additives. The electrolyte is in a liquid state at low temperature and has high ionic conductivity like an electrolyte. With the increase of temperature, the electrolyte is in a solid state after reversible phase change, and has safety and stability at high temperature.

[0038] (1) High low-temperature ionic conductivity: by adjusting the content of the alternating copolymer, the content of the amphiphilic solvent, the type and content of the additive, the electrolyte of the present application can achieve high ionic conductivity at low temperature, which is 5 to 10 times of that of conventional sulfide solid electrolyte.

[0039] (2) High temperature safety: when the lithium battery using the electrolyte of the application is in the normal working temperature range of 20-30℃, the electrolyte is in a liquid state; when the battery temperature rises, the electrolyte undergoes a phase transition, and the phase transition temperature is between 20-70℃, which has not reached the decomposition temperature of the SEI film. After phase transition, the capacity of the battery decreases, slowing down the continuous rise of the battery temperature, and preventing the battery from thermal runaway.

[0040] (3) Low cost: the existing temperature phase transition electrolyte usually uses ionic liquid as the carrier, which has a high cost, for example, the cost of imidazole ionic liquid is as high as 500-1500 yuan / kg; compared with the ionic liquid, the application uses low-cost organic solvents to realize the phase transition of the electrolyte in a wide temperature range of 20-70℃, and the cost is much lower than that of the ionic liquid under the condition of similar performance.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for description purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0045] The first aspect of the application is to provide an electrolyte.

[0046] The electrolyte of the present invention comprises an alternating copolymer, a first solvent, a second solvent, a third solvent, a lithium salt, and an additive; wherein the alternating copolymer is obtained by polymerization of a first monomer and a second monomer; the first monomer comprises a terminal alkenyl group, a terminal halogen atom, and an ether bond, and the second monomer comprises at least one of maleic anhydride, citraconic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, maleimide, and 2,5-thiophenedione.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the terminal halogen atom in the first monomer is at least one of a fluorine atom or a chlorine atom.

[0051] In a more preferred embodiment, the first monomer comprises at least one of the following compounds (I) to (VIII):

[0052] (I); (II);

[0053] (III); (IV);

[0054] (V); (VI);

[0055] (VII); (VIII).

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the content of the alternating copolymer in the electrolyte is 6wt.%~24wt.%, including but not limited to any one of 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24 (wt.%), or a numerical range constituted by any two of them.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment, the first solvent is a main dispersing solvent of the electrolyte, and the first solvent includes but is not limited to at least one of ethyl propionate, propyl acetate, methyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, butyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0058] As a preferred embodiment, the content of the first solvent in the electrolyte is 50wt.%~70wt.%, including but not limited to any one of 50, 52, 54, 55, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 65, 66, 68, 70 (wt.%), or a numerical range constituted by any two of them.

[0059] As a preferred embodiment, the second solvent is an alkane compound, and the alkane compound includes at least one of n-octane, n-heptane, n-hexane, cyclohexane.

[0060] As a preferred embodiment, the content of the second solvent in the electrolyte is 5wt.%~10wt.%, including but not limited to any one of 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10 (wt.%), or a numerical range constituted by any two of them.

[0061] As a preferred embodiment, the third solvent is an amphiphilic solvent, i.e. a special solvent with hydrophilic (polar) and lipophilic (non-polar) groups; the amphiphilic solvent includes alkyl and ester groups.

[0062] As a more preferred embodiment, the amphiphilic solvent includes at least one of the following compounds (a)~(e):

[0063] (a); (b);

[0064] (c); (d);

[0065] (e);

[0066] and R in the compounds (a)~(e) is -C n H 2n+1n are independently selected from 4 to 8.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment, the content of the third solvent in the electrolyte is 5wt.% to 10wt.%, including but not limited to any one of 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10 (wt.%), or a numerical interval composed of any two of them.

[0068] It is worth noting that there are three solvents in the present application; among them, the first solvent is the commonly used solvent in lithium battery electrolyte, mainly ester, ether; the second solvent can produce LCST phenomenon with the alternating copolymer, that is, the alternating copolymer dissolves as a phase change polymer at low temperature, and precipitates at high temperature; the third solvent is a cosolvent, which has amphiphilic properties and can improve the solubility between the first solvent and the second solvent. Specifically, the second solvent contains alkanes, and the polarity of these solvents is small, which is quite different from the polarity of the ester in the first solvent; the present application solves the compatibility problem of the first solvent and the second solvent by adding the third solvent as a cosolvent.

[0069] Further, for the above-mentioned LCST (Lower Critical Solution Temperature) phenomenon, it is found through detection that there is an unfolding explanation as follows: at low temperature, hydrogen bonds are formed between the alternating copolymer and the second solvent molecules, and the alternating copolymer molecules are chain-like dissolved in the second solvent; when the temperature rises, the enthalpy change of the hydrogen bond breaking between the alternating copolymer and the second solvent molecules is enthalpy increase, the alternating copolymer precipitates from the second solvent, and the entropy change of the whole electrolyte system is entropy increase, and with the increase of temperature, the change of entropy increase dominates. According to ΔG=ΔH-TΔS, ΔG<0, the reaction of the alternating copolymer precipitating from the second solvent is spontaneous, and the effect shown is that the alternating copolymer becomes a group after precipitation, and the whole system changes from liquid to solid.

[0073] (A); (B);

[0074] (C); (D).

[0075] As a preferred embodiment, the content of the additive in the electrolyte is 1wt.%~3wt.%, including but not limited to any one of 1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3 (wt.%), or a numerical interval composed of any two of them.

[0076] As a preferred embodiment, the electrolyte can undergo reversible phase transition according to temperature, and the phase transition temperature of the electrolyte is 20℃~70℃; it is detected that the electrolyte has good phase transition reversibility, and can realize reversible cycle for at least 100 times within the above temperature range.

[0077] It is worth noting that the phase transition temperature window of the electrolyte in the application can be adjusted; by adjusting the types, contents and molecular weights of the first monomer and the second monomer, the types and contents of the second solvent, and the types and contents of the third solvent, the phase transition temperature can be controlled.

[0078] As a preferred embodiment, the preparation method of the alternating copolymer comprises the following steps: stirring the first monomer, the second monomer, an initiator and a reaction solvent at 50℃~100℃ for 1h~6h, and then separating the precursor of the alternating copolymer in a poor solvent, drying, and obtaining the alternating copolymer.

[0080] As a more preferred embodiment, the molar ratio of the first monomer to the second monomer is 1:1; the molar amount of the initiator to the total molar amount is 1: (100~1000), and the ratio of the reaction solvent to the total molar amount is (5~15):1.

[0082] As a preferred embodiment, the preparation method of the electrolyte comprises the following steps: mixing the alternating copolymer, the first solvent, the second solvent, the third solvent, the lithium salt, and the additive sufficiently to obtain the electrolyte.

[0083] As an optional embodiment, the sufficient mixing can be assisted by oscillation, stirring, a shaking table, centrifugation, ultrasonic, heating, etc., which helps to accelerate dispersion and obtain a relatively uniform dispersion system.
