Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery technology, and in particular relates to a high-temperature stable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries and its application in high-nickel lithium-ion batteries. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the global new energy vehicle industry, the demand for power battery energy density is growing exponentially. 9-series high-nickel ternary cathode materials (LiNi) 0.9 Co 0.05 Mn 0.05 O2 and other similar materials have become the most promising cathode material systems due to their ultra-high specific capacity (≥220mAh / g) and relatively high operating voltage (3.6-4.4V). However, these materials face severe challenges under high-temperature conditions: firstly, their high residual alkali content on the surface accelerates electrolyte decomposition at 80℃; secondly, the release of lattice oxygen in the deep delithiation state intensifies, leading to a significant increase in the risk of thermal runaway. Traditional liquid electrolyte systems lack thermal stability at high temperatures and are flammable and volatile, completely failing to meet the high-temperature requirements of 9-series high-nickel batteries and posing serious safety hazards. Solid electrolytes have become an ideal solution due to their non-flammability and good thermal stability. Among them, in-situ solidification solid electrolyte technology, by directly injecting liquid precursors into the battery and initiating polymerization, can achieve molecular-level contact at the electrode / electrolyte interface, combining good interfacial contact performance with the safety characteristics of solid electrolytes, making it one of the most promising technologies for industrialization.
[0003] Patent CN113363415B discloses a lithium-ion battery with a high-nickel ternary composite cathode containing a solid electrolyte, wherein the cathode is coated with Li 2.5 C 0.5 B 0.5 The coating with O3 and magnesium oxide mitigates the dissolution of metal ions in the electrolyte and their deposition on the negative electrode surface. At 45°C, when the capacity reaches 80% of the initial capacity, the cycle life is as high as 1100 cycles. Although the cycle life is relatively long, it deviates significantly from the high-temperature resistance (≥80°C) required for power battery energy storage systems, lacking high-temperature cycling data above 80°C.
[0004] Patent CN115911574A discloses an in-situ cured solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte and a lithium-ion battery. By optimizing the electrolyte's raw material formulation, using PEGDA and / or PEGMEA as polymer monomers, and through a simple mixture of polymer monomers, crosslinking agents, thermal initiators, and liquid electrolyte, the electrolyte is directly injected into commercial batteries and cured in situ to obtain the lithium-ion battery, exhibiting excellent room-temperature and high-temperature cycling performance. However, the in-situ cured solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte in this patent contains up to 20% polymer monomers and 0.1% initiators. Practical experience has shown that high polymer monomer and initiator contents negatively impact battery capacity performance. Furthermore, this patent lacks high-temperature cycling data above 80°C. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] This invention relates to a high-temperature stable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries and its application in high-nickel lithium-ion batteries. Addressing the poor stability and safety issues of 9-series high-nickel lithium-ion batteries under high-temperature conditions, this invention provides a high-temperature stable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries. This composite electrolyte system achieves breakthroughs in high-temperature performance through the synergistic effect of multiple components. A thermally stable ion transport network is constructed through a lithium salt compounding strategy, and a wide-temperature-range stable medium is formed in conjunction with a multi-solvent system. The unique "viscoelasticity" of the solidified electrolyte ensures structural integrity under high-temperature conditions, reduces interfacial micro-damage caused by high-temperature cycling, and simultaneously suppresses safety issues such as short circuits and overcharging caused by lithium dendrites and uneven current distribution, achieving a dual breakthrough in electrochemical performance and safety under high-temperature conditions.
[0029] The solid electrolyte for high-temperature stable lithium-ion batteries is formed by polymerization of a solid electrolyte prepolymer for high-temperature stable lithium-ion batteries. The solid electrolyte prepolymer is composed of a three-salt synergistic basic electrolyte, polymerizable polymer monomers, and an initiator.
[0030] The three-salt synergistic basic electrolyte consists of three lithium salts, a first solvent, a second solvent, a universal solvent, and additives; the additives account for 4% of the solvent mass; the total lithium salt solute concentration is 1.0 mol / L-1.25 mol / L, based on the volume of the solvent.
[0031] The lithium salt in the tri-salt synergistic basic electrolyte is selected from three of the following lithium salts: lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), lithium perchlorate (LiClO4), lithium bis(oxalateborate)borate (LiBOB), lithium difluorooxalateborate (LiDFOB), lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO2F2), and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF3SO3). Preferably, it is selected from three of the following: lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), lithium difluorooxalateborate (LiDFOB), and lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO2F2).
[0032] The solvent of the three-salt synergistic basic electrolyte is composed of a first solvent, a second solvent, and a universal solvent, in a volume ratio of 1:1:2. The first solvent is a high dielectric constant solvent, such as one of propylene carbonate (PC), acetonitrile (AN), or ethylene carbonate (EC); the second solvent is a highly stable solvent, such as one of diethyl carbonate (DEC), triethyl phosphate (TEP), or sulfolane (TMS); and the third solvent is a universal solvent, such as one of ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) or fluoroethyl methyl carbonate (F-EMC).
[0033] The additives include film-forming additives, high-temperature additives, and low-temperature additives in a mass ratio of 2:1:1. The film-forming additive is one of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), vinylene carbonate (VC), adiponitrile (ADN), etc.; the high-temperature additive is one of propylene sulfite (PS), lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO2F2), ionic liquids (such as EMIM-TFSI), 1,3-propenesulfonate lactone (PST), etc.; the low-temperature additive is one of vinyl sulfate (DTD), ethyl acetate (EA), vinylene carbonate (VC), etc.; preferably, the film-forming additive is fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) or vinylene carbonate (VC); the high-temperature additive is lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO2F2) or 1,3-propenesulfonate lactone (PST); and the low-temperature additive is vinyl sulfate (DTD) or vinylene carbonate (VC). The synergistic effect of the film-forming additives and the high- and low-temperature additives promotes the formation of a gradient interface protective layer, significantly improving the structural stability of the high-nickel cathode under high temperature and high pressure.
[0034] The polymerizable monomers in the solid electrolyte prepolymer are high-temperature resistant polymerizable monomers, such as one or more combinations of acrylate monomers, ether monomers, and ionic liquid monomers.
[0035] When the polymerizable monomer is a high-temperature resistant acrylate monomer, specifically two of the following: isoprene tetraacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, triethylene dimethacrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, and methyl isobutylene acrylate; the two polymerizable monomers can be mixed in a mass ratio of 1:0.5-2; when the polymerizable monomer is an acrylate containing multiple C=C atoms and exhibiting high reactivity, the initiator is an azo-based azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN); by mass fraction, the prepolymer solution includes 97.07-99.00% of a tri-salt synergistic basic electrolyte, 0.99-2.91% of the acrylate monomer, and 0.01-0.02% of the initiator.
[0036] When the polymerizable monomer is an ether monomer, specifically one of poly(1,3-dioxolane), bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, various crown ethers, and polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether; when the polymerizable monomer is a small molecule ether monomer, the initiator is a Lewis acid lithium salt (which exists in the base solution as the main salt solute), and the Lewis acid lithium salt is lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6); by mass fraction, the prepolymer solution includes 75.0-87.5% of the three-salt synergistic base electrolyte and 12.5-25.0% of the small molecule ether monomer.
[0037] The solid electrolyte prepolymer is polymerized via thermal initiation at a temperature of 50°C-80°C for 4-7 hours. Preferably, the thermal initiation temperature is 60°C-70°C for 5-6 hours. Specifically, the mixed solid electrolyte prepolymer is injected into the constructed cell structure, followed by thermal initiation to form a solid-state lithium-ion battery.
[0038] The high-nickel lithium-ion battery comprises a high-nickel cathode with a Ni content exceeding 90%, a silicon-carbon anode with a silicon content exceeding 5%, a battery separator with double-sided ceramic coating, and a high-temperature stable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries. A prepolymer solution consisting of an unpolymerized three-salt synergistic basic electrolyte and a polymerizable monomer mixture is first injected into a high-nickel, high-silicon lithium-ion battery cell, and then the solid-state lithium-ion battery is prepared via thermal initiation. In some embodiments of this invention, the high-nickel lithium-ion battery consists of 29 cells with an area of 39.6 cm². 2 Double-sided high-nickel cathode, 30 pieces with an area of 42.18 cm² 2 The high-nickel lithium-ion battery was prepared by using a double-sided silicon-carbon anode and a double-sided Al2O3-coated separator; the prepared battery has a capacity of 9.8 Ah (area capacity of 4.3 mAh / cm²). 2 ).
[0039] The high-temperature stable solid electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries comprises three lithium salts. A three-salt synergistic base solution is thermally cured with acrylate monomers. The dense cross-linked network formed by the multifunctional acrylates exhibits excellent high-temperature dimensional stability and mechanical strength. Simultaneously, the unique interaction between the lithium salts and the polymer matrix constructs stable ion transport channels, effectively enhancing electrochemical stability at high temperatures, giving the three-salt synergistic electrolyte an excellent electrochemical window. In the ether-based curing system, the ring-opening polymerization of monomers such as polyDOL ethers constructs a polyether-based three-dimensional network structure that combines flexibility and thermal stability. This architecture achieves a perfect balance between dimensional stability at high temperatures and segment mobility at low temperatures by precisely controlling the cross-linking density and chain segment flexibility. This intelligent polymer network maintains excellent mechanical strength and interfacial stability at high temperatures while maintaining excellent ion conductivity at low temperatures, demonstrating outstanding wide-temperature adaptability.
[0040] The solid electrolyte for high-temperature stable lithium-ion batteries also includes three solvents. The first solvent is a high-dielectric-constant solvent such as propylene carbonate, which reduces the association energy between Li+ and anions through strong polarity, facilitating the dissolution of lithium salts and ion conduction, while also helping to form a stable flexible interface film on the silicon-based anode surface. The second solvent is a highly stable solvent such as diethyl carbonate, which has stable thermodynamic properties, can alleviate electrolyte decomposition at high temperatures, and reduce the formation of byproducts detrimental to the battery. The third solvent is a universal solvent such as ethyl methyl carbonate, which does not easily volatilize or decompose at high temperatures, and can form a dynamic electrochemical passivation layer on the high-voltage cathode surface, reducing "lattice stress cracks" in high-nickel materials, inhibiting transition metal dissolution and electrolyte oxidative decomposition, and especially reducing battery gas expansion at high temperatures. Regarding the anode, the ethyl groups in the molecule can capture "reactive oxygen free radicals" (such as ·O⁻) generated during high-temperature cycling, blocking the "chain thermal degradation" reaction of the SEI film and improving the high-temperature cycle life of the silicon-based anode. The prepared high-temperature, high-nickel lithium-ion battery has a high energy density of 345Wh / kg at 80℃ and a capacity retention of 90.6% after 60 cycles.

Experimental methods not specifically described in terms of operation steps are performed in accordance with the corresponding product manuals. Unless otherwise specified, the instruments, reagents, and consumables used in the embodiments can be purchased from commercial companies.

After drying and rolling, an areal density of 8 mg / cm³ is obtained. 2 The negative electrode sheet was then slit and punched to obtain an area of 42.18 cm². 2 The negative electrode sheet.
[0068] The lithium-ion battery cells with 29 positive and 30 negative cells are obtained by stacking the cells using a semi-automatic stacking machine. After welding the tabs and sealing with an aluminum shell, a 10.1Ah high-nickel lithium-ion dry cell is obtained.
[0069] The high-temperature stable lithium-ion battery prepolymer solution prepared in Examples 1-6 was added to the above-mentioned dry cell at an injection rate of 1.9 g / Ah, and then vacuum-sealed. The cell was then immersed at 25°C for 36 h to obtain a 10.1 Ah high-nickel lithium-ion battery. The 10.1 Ah high-nickel lithium-ion battery was then placed in a 60°C forced-air oven without clamps for 5-6 h of thermal initiation. After being removed and cooled to room temperature, a high-temperature high-nickel lithium-ion solid-state battery was obtained. The prepared high-temperature high-nickel lithium-ion solid-state battery was placed in a fixture with a pre-tightening force of 1.0 N / m for subsequent formation, capacity determination, and cycle testing.
[0070] The high-temperature stable lithium-ion battery liquid electrolyte prepolymer prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 was added to the above-mentioned dry cell at an injection rate of 1.9 g / Ah. After vacuum sealing, the cell was immersed at 40°C for 24 h to obtain a 10.1 Ah high-nickel lithium-ion liquid battery.

[0080] According to Tables 2 and 3, and Figure 2 , 3A comparison of specific energy and capacity retention revealed that the specific energy of high-temperature, high-nickel lithium-ion solid-state batteries all exceeded 340Wh / kg. High-temperature, high-nickel lithium-ion solid-state batteries prepared from poly(1,3-dioxolane) monomers exhibited superior cycle performance at 80℃ compared to a mixture of isoprene tetraacrylate and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate monomers. Among these, the poly(1,3-dioxolane) solid electrolyte lithium-ion battery, composed of LiFSI, LiTFSi, LiPF6, PC, DEC, EMC, FEC, DTD, and LiPO2F2, demonstrated the best cycle performance, retaining over 92% of its capacity after 51 cycles and 90.6% after 60 cycles. Compared to dual-salt synergistic electrolytes, LiFSI and LiTFSi became dominant in the tri-salt system, significantly reducing the overall electrolyte system's dependence on the thermally unstable LiPF6. Introducing the more antioxidant LiTFSi into the LiFSI (with an oxidation resistance of approximately 4.5V) effectively increased the electrolyte's "voltage limit." This can more effectively suppress the oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte on the surface of the high-voltage positive electrode, reduce the dissolution of transition metals, and form a more stable positive electrode electrolyte interface film (CEI), thereby improving the cycle life under high voltage.
