Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery pre-lithiation / sodium technology, specifically to a highly efficient pre-lithiation / sodiumification method and application for energy storage devices. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage devices are widely used in new energy vehicles, smart grids and other fields, but the energy density and cycle life of energy storage devices still need to be improved. In order to solve the capacity decay of energy storage devices caused by effective lithium ion loss, the operating potential window can be adjusted by pre-lithiation / sodiumization, thereby improving the cycle life of energy storage devices.

[0003] Traditionally, there are two methods for pre-lithiation / sodiumification of the negative electrode. One method involves coating a mixture of lithium and sodium metal powder onto the negative electrode. However, lithium and sodium metal powders have high activity and require a harsh preparation environment, making them unsuitable for existing processes and large-scale industrial production. The other method involves rolling lithium and sodium metal onto the negative electrode surface. This method also has stringent environmental requirements, and the amount of pre-lithiation / sodium used is difficult to control, making it unsuitable for large-scale production and incompatible with production equipment. Traditionally, pre-lithiation / sodiumification of the positive electrode involves selecting an appropriate amount of positive electrode salt for mixed coating, with a doping amount of approximately 3-5%. However, this method has limited lithium / sodium capacity and affects the battery's energy density (reducing it by about 3-5%). During the entire pre-lithiation / sodium process, the pre-lithiation / sodium agent generates a large amount of gas during the formation stage, affecting battery performance and appearance, requiring additional venting treatment.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an efficient pre-lithiation / sodiumization method for energy storage devices and its application, which solves the problems of difficult operation, high cost and low efficiency in traditional pre-lithiation / sodiumization technologies. Summary of the Invention

Then, the hydroxyl groups on the compound react with the carboxyl groups of 3-mercaptopropionic acid under the action of an acid catalyst (p-toluenesulfonic acid) to esterify the compound and introduce mercapto groups, thus obtaining a flame-retardant compound. By controlling the amount of 3-mercaptopropionic acid added, the flame-retardant compound retains hydroxyl groups. The residual hydroxyl groups undergo a condensation reaction with the silanol groups on the surface of silica, introducing flame-retardant segments and mercapto groups onto the silica surface, thus obtaining mercapto-modified silica. Finally, polyacrylonitrile and mercapto-modified silica are mixed to form a spinning solution, and electrospinning is performed to obtain polyacrylonitrile composite fibers with mercapto groups. The polyacrylonitrile composite fibers are used as reinforcing fibers to form an aerogel on the surface of the semi-finished membrane through a mercapto-dilute reaction, thus obtaining the membrane.

[0072] Combining aerogel with a membrane can endow the membrane with properties such as high temperature resistance and structural stability, preventing short circuits caused by membrane deformation or thermal runaway at high temperatures. Silica aerogel has a large specific surface area, which can increase the contact area with the electrolyte, improve electrolyte wettability, and enhance ion transport efficiency, thereby comprehensively improving the performance of energy storage devices. Polyacrylonitrile composite fibers, as reinforcing fibers, can improve the tensile strength of the aerogel, and flame-retardant segments are grafted onto the surface of the polyacrylonitrile composite fibers, further enhancing the safety of energy storage devices.

[0073] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0074] 1. In this application, the pre-lithiation / sodium potential is controlled by a negative electrode short circuit, which allows for precise control of the pre-lithiation / sodium amount.

The pre-lithiation / sodiumification method of the battery in this application is compatible with the battery preparation process in the prior art. It does not change the battery structure after packaging. Furthermore, the lithium / sodium metal bars in this application can be recycled and reused, maximizing utilization, reducing costs, and having certain economic benefits.

[0075] 2. In this application, the aerogel is combined with the separator, which can endow the separator with properties such as high temperature resistance and structural stability, avoiding short circuits caused by deformation or thermal runaway of the separator at high temperature. The silica aerogel has a large specific surface area, which can increase the contact area with the electrolyte, improve the wettability of the electrolyte, and improve the ion transport efficiency, thereby comprehensively improving the performance of the energy storage device. The polyacrylonitrile composite fiber, as a reinforcing fiber, can improve the tensile strength of the aerogel, and the surface of the polyacrylonitrile composite fiber is grafted with flame-retardant segments, further improving the safety of the battery.

[0139] (3) Preparation of pre-sodium-based energy storage devices: Same as in Example 6.

[0140] Comparative Example 1: Compared with Example 1, the energy storage device was not pre-lithiated, and all other conditions remained the same.

[0141] Comparative Example 2: Compared with Example 4, the energy storage device was not pre-sodium-treated, and all other conditions remained the same.

[0142] Comparative Example 3: Compared with Example 7, no aerogel was prepared on the surface of the polyacrylonitrile composite fiber, while the other conditions remained unchanged.

[0143] Comparative Example 4: Compared with Example 10, no aerogel was prepared on the surface of the polyacrylonitrile composite fiber, while the other conditions remained unchanged.

[0144] Experiment: The pre-lithiated batteries obtained in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to electrochemical tests. Specifically, the pre-lithiated batteries were discharged at 25°C with a discharge cutoff voltage of 1.5V. The first efficiency, discharge voltage plateau, and energy density were recorded.

[0145]

[0146] Based on the data in the table above, the following conclusions can be drawn:

[0147] Compared with Examples 1 and 4, the electrochemical performance of the energy storage devices obtained in Examples 2, 3, 5, and 6 all decreased to varying degrees. It can be seen that the pre-lithiation / sodiumification method used in this application can promote the improvement of the electrochemical performance of the energy storage devices. Compared with Examples 1 and 4, the membranes with flame retardancy and surface-deposited aerogel prepared in Examples 7 and 10 have improved electrochemical performance of the energy storage devices. This is because the silica aerogel has a large specific surface area, which can increase the contact area with the electrolyte, improve the wettability of the electrolyte, and improve the ion transport efficiency, thus comprehensively improving the electrochemical performance of the energy storage devices.

[0148] Compared with Examples 1 and 4, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 did not perform pre-lithiation / sodium-lithiation on the energy storage devices, resulting in a significant decrease in the electrochemical performance of the energy storage devices. Compared with Examples 7 and 10, Comparative Examples 3 and 4 did not prepare aerogels on the surface of polyacrylonitrile composite fibers, and their electrochemical performance also decreased. This indicates that in this application, both the pre-lithiation / sodium-lithiation method and the membrane preparation process can improve the performance of the prepared energy storage devices.

[0149] The performance of the diaphragms from Examples 1, 7-9, and Comparative Example 3 was tested.

[0150] Flame retardancy test: The diaphragm was cut into 1*5cm samples, and the oxygen index of the samples was tested in accordance with GB / T2406.2-2009 to characterize its flame retardancy.

[0151] Ionic conductivity test: The separator and lithium foil are assembled into a symmetrical battery in the order of lithium foil, separator, lithium foil, and after standing for a period of time, its ionic conductivity is measured.

[0152]

[0153] Based on the data in the table above, the following conclusions can be drawn:

[0154] In Example 1, the diaphragm was a commercially available polyacrylonitrile diaphragm, which had the worst flame retardancy and ionic conductivity. In Example 7, the flame retardancy and ionic conductivity were the best. Compared with Example 7, the flame retardancy of Comparative Example 3 did not change much, but the ionic conductivity decreased significantly. In Example 1, the diaphragm was a commercially available polyacrylonitrile diaphragm that did not have flame retardancy and did not have aerogel on its surface.

[0155] As can be seen from the above, the diaphragm prepared in this application has better flame retardancy and ionic conductivity than commercially available polyacrylonitrile diaphragms, which can comprehensively improve the safety and electrochemical performance of the energy storage device.

Then, perform secondary packaging, remove excess air pockets, and recover the metallic lithium or metallic sodium in the third electrode to obtain a pre-lithiate or pre-sodiumized energy storage device. The preparation process of the diaphragm is as follows: S1: Take polyacrylonitrile composite fiber, cut it into short pieces to obtain polyacrylonitrile composite short-cut fiber, mix it with cellulose acetate and water, perform the first pulping treatment, then add nanocellulose, perform the second pulping treatment, and then perform papermaking to obtain wet fiber sheet, and perform the first drying, hot calendering treatment, and second drying in sequence to obtain semi-finished diaphragm. S2: Disperse polyacrylonitrile composite fibers in anhydrous ethanol, add tetraethyl orthosilicate, methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane and deionized water and stir until homogeneous, adjust the pH value to 3-4, stir until homogeneous, and obtain wet gel. S3: Immerse the semi-finished diaphragm in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, wash it, then place it in a wet gel for 8-10 hours, take it out, and finally place it in a photoinitiator solution for ultraviolet irradiation to form an aerogel. Dry it to obtain the diaphragm. The polyacrylonitrile composite fiber is obtained by the following process: Step 1: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 4-methyl-1,3,5-triazine-2-amine, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde and anhydrous ethanol were mixed, p-toluenesulfonic acid was added dropwise, the mixture was heated under reflux, rotary evaporated, and cooled to obtain a nitrogen-containing compound. Step 2: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a nitrogen-containing compound, p-toluenesulfonic acid, hydroquinone, and toluene are mixed, stirred, and heated to 110-120°C. 3-mercaptopropionic acid is added, and the mixture is reacted for 5-7 hours. After cooling and rotary evaporation, the flame-retardant compound is obtained. Step 3: Disperse silica in tetrahydrofuran, add flame retardant compound under nitrogen atmosphere, heat and reflux reaction, wash to obtain mercapto-modified silica; Step 4: Mix polyacrylonitrile with N,N-dimethylacetamide and stir for 1-2 hours. Add mercapto-modified silica and stir again for 4-6 hours to obtain a spinning solution. Then electrospin and vacuum dry to obtain polyacrylonitrile composite fibers.
