Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy storage materials technology, specifically relating to a PMMA-PCL-based composite solid electrolyte, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems, the demand for high-safety, high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries is becoming increasingly urgent. Traditional liquid electrolyte lithium-ion batteries suffer from problems such as easy leakage and flammability, and their energy density is limited (below 300 Wh / kg). At the same time, the growth of lithium dendrites in liquid electrolytes may cause short circuits and thermal runaway, posing serious safety hazards.

[0003] Solid-state electrolytes are the core component of all-solid-state batteries, requiring high ionic conductivity, good mechanical properties, and interfacial stability with electrode materials. Among various solid-state electrolytes, polymer solid-state electrolytes are considered one of the most promising technologies for industrialization due to their good flexibility, processability, and good interfacial contact with electrodes. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based polymer electrolytes are an important type of material. The polar carbonyl groups (C=O) on their molecular chains can coordinate with lithium ions, promoting lithium salt dissociation. Furthermore, PMMA has a high dielectric constant (ε≈3.0-3.5), which also facilitates lithium salt dissociation. However, PMMA-based polymer electrolytes have low ionic conductivity at room temperature (typically below 10). -4 Furthermore, its mechanical strength is insufficient, making it difficult to effectively suppress lithium dendrite penetration. On the other hand, polycaprolactone (PCL), as a biodegradable aliphatic polyester material, possesses excellent flexibility and plasticity. Its molecular chain structure is soft, and its chain segment mobility is strong, which theoretically facilitates lithium-ion migration. However, PCL's room-temperature ionic conductivity is still very low, and its interfacial stability with the lithium metal anode is also poor.

[0004] Combining PMMA with PCL promises to leverage the high dielectric constant of PMMA and the flexibility of PCL, synergistically optimizing the ionic conductivity and mechanical properties of the electrolyte. However, novel PMMA-PCL-based electrolytes still face challenges such as low lithium-ion transference number, insufficient room-temperature conductivity, and high solid-solid interface impedance, leading to intensified polarization during battery cycling. Notably, lithium-ion transport within the novel PMMA-PCL matrix heavily relies on polymer chain movement, which is often limited by polymer crystallinity at room temperature, resulting in insufficient ionic conductivity for rapid charge-discharge operations. Furthermore, the interface between the electrolyte and the lithium metal anode is unstable, easily forming lithium dendrites and side reaction layers, impacting battery cycle life and safety performance.

[0005] To overcome these challenges, current research typically employs the addition of inorganic active lithium-containing fillers (such as LLZO (lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide) and LATP (lithium oxyphosphine sulfate)) to construct rapid ion transport channels, or the introduction of plasticizers (such as succinic acid) to reduce crystallinity and improve chain segment mobility. However, these methods still have limitations. For example, inorganic fillers tend to aggregate in novel PMMA-PCL matrices, affecting the uniformity of ionic conductivity; and the addition of liquid plasticizers may sacrifice the mechanical strength of the electrolyte and introduce safety hazards. Therefore, developing novel composite solid electrolytes and overcoming the mechanical property losses and dispersion inhomogeneities induced by spontaneous phase separation during composite electrolyte preparation is particularly important. Synergistic optimization of the preparation process and molecular design to regulate the supramolecular chemistry of the electrolyte and the local coordination environment of lithium ions, and to enhance interfacial stability, are key to improving cycle life and safety performance. Summary of the Invention

This method promotes the homogeneous integration of supramolecular components within the electrolyte through magnetic field-microwave coupling, and for the first time introduces an unsaturated alkynyl compound with photoinduced secondary self-enhancing properties to anchor solvent molecules and anions, thereby regulating the local coordination environment of lithium ions at the interface to improve lithium-ion transport and interfacial stability of the PMMA-PCL-based composite solid electrolyte at room temperature. This results in the PMMA-PCL-based composite solid electrolyte provided by this invention exhibiting excellent room temperature performance and significantly improving the performance of symmetric cells at 0.1 mA cm⁻¹. -1 The time it takes for the current density to allow for stable cycling.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] 1. This invention introduces unsaturated alkyne sites with photoinduced secondary self-reinforcing properties into a polymethyl methacrylate-polycaprolactone (PMMA-PCL) based composite solid electrolyte, optimizing the local coordination structure of lithium ions and PMMA-PCL polymer segments, thereby significantly promoting lithium salt dissociation and reduction at the electrode-electrolyte interface. This coordination structure at the interface promotes the complete decomposition of the lithium salt and unsaturated alkyne compound coordinating groups, forming high-energy interface products such as LiF that effectively suppress lithium dendrite formation. This results in a significantly improved ionic conductivity, high critical current density, and lithium stability of the solid electrolyte at room temperature. Furthermore, by controlling the amounts of polycaprolactone (PCL), lithium salt, active lithium-containing filler, and unsaturated alkyne compound added to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), the lithium-ion conductivity and interface stability can be regulated.

[0024] 2. The composite solid electrolyte preparation method provided by the present invention promotes the homogeneous integration of supramolecular molecules within the PMMA-PCL-based composite solid electrolyte through a magnetic field-microwave coupled auxiliary process, inhibits phase separation of the two polymer chains, loosens the polymer chains and active lithium-containing fillers, and enables photo-induced secondary self-reinforcement after film formation, thus breaking its performance limit.
