Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to solid polymer electrolytes, their preparation methods, and applications, belonging to the field of lithium metal battery technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage, and portable electronic devices, the demand for high-energy-density and high-safety rechargeable batteries is becoming increasingly urgent. Lithium metal batteries, due to their use of metallic lithium as the negative electrode, possess extremely high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh / g) and the lowest electrochemical potential (-3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), and are considered an ideal choice for next-generation high-energy-density battery systems. However, traditional lithium-ion batteries use flammable organic liquid electrolytes, posing serious safety hazards such as leakage, combustion, and even explosion. Furthermore, they cannot effectively suppress the growth of lithium dendrites, resulting in short battery cycle life and significant safety risks.

[0003] Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) use a solid polymer matrix to replace liquid electrolytes, fundamentally solving the flammability problem and offering higher safety and better machinability, making them one of the key materials for constructing high-safety lithium metal batteries. Among various solid polymer electrolytes, polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolytes are the earliest and most widely studied system. They achieve ion transport through coordination of lithium ions via ether-oxygen bonds (-COC-). However, PEO-based electrolytes also have some inherent drawbacks. For example, at room temperature, the polymer chains of PEO are in a glassy or crystalline state, moving slowly, resulting in extremely low ionic conductivity (typically below 10). -5 S / cm). Therefore, polymer segments need to have sufficient mobility to assist lithium ions (Li). + The transport occurs via "jumping" between chains. Secondly, the solid polymer electrolyte and electrode have a solid-solid contact, unlike a liquid which can perfectly wet the electrode material surface. This results in a small effective contact area and very high interfacial impedance. PEO-based electrolytes have a narrower electrochemical window (oxidative decomposition potential approximately ~3.9V vs. Li). + / Li). It also cannot be matched with high-voltage, high-capacity cathode materials (such as lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), high-nickel NCM, etc., with operating voltages typically >4V). When the voltage increases, the ether oxygen bonds in PEO will be oxidized and decomposed, leading to battery failure. Furthermore, lithium dendrites can still grow along grain boundaries, defects, or channels between polymer chains in the solid polymer electrolyte, potentially causing an internal short circuit in the battery.

[0004] To overcome the limitations of PEO-based electrolytes, researchers have turned their attention to polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP)-based solid polymer electrolytes. PVDF-HFP is a copolymer that combines irregular amorphous hexafluoropropylene (HFP) with the crystalline regions of PVDF chains, exhibiting advantages such as corrosion resistance, high dielectric constant, and good chemical stability. Furthermore, due to the absence of ether groups (-COC-), PVDF-HFP-based solid polymer electrolytes have a wider electrochemical window, making them compatible with high-voltage cathodes. The amorphous phase of the polymer facilitates rapid ion movement, thus contributing to higher ionic conductivity, while the crystalline phase provides mechanical support for the polymer electrolyte. The presence of -CF3 groups in the HFP monomer within the amorphous phase endows HFP with high polarity, enhancing its interaction with lithium salts and promoting lithium ion hopping and transport between polymer chains.

[0005] However, pure PVDF-HFP-based solid polymer electrolytes also face significant challenges. Their room-temperature ionic conductivity is extremely low, typically around 10⁻⁶. -7 ~10 -8 The S / cm ratio is on the order of 1, which is much lower than that of PEO-based electrolytes, resulting in huge internal resistance in the battery and preventing it from functioning properly. In addition, PVDF-HFP films prepared by solution casting often form porous structures, which not only reduces ion transport efficiency but also provides channels for lithium dendrite growth. Furthermore, they have poor compatibility with lithium metal anodes and the interface is unstable.

[0006] In the prior art, numerous attempts have been made to improve the performance of PVDF-HFP based polymer electrolytes. For example, patent CN202111088647.0 introduces L into the polymer matrix... Inorganic additives are used to improve ionic conductivity and suppress lithium dendrite formation. While these methods have made some progress, there is still room for optimization in terms of the overall performance of the electrolyte, such as the balance between mechanical strength, thermal stability, ion transference number, and interfacial stability.

[0007] Therefore, developing a solid polymer electrolyte that combines high ionic conductivity, high lithium-ion transference number, excellent mechanical strength, wide electrochemical window, good thermal stability, and effective lithium dendrite suppression capability is crucial for promoting the practical application of high-safety, high-performance solid lithium metal batteries.

[0039] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] The raw materials used are: bis(vinyl sulfone)methane (BVSM); isoprene tetraacrylate (PETEA); azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN); polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP); lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylimide) (LiTFSI); and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).

[0042] The solid polymer electrolyte PBPL was prepared according to the following steps:

[0043] Step 1: Add 12.4 wt% (1000 mg) PVDF-HFP, 15.5 wt% (1250 mg) LiTFSI, 1.03 wt% (83.3 mg) BVSM monomer and 0.93 wt% (74.8 mg) PETEA crosslinking agent (BVSM:PETEA molar ratio of 2:1) to 5.658 g of N,N-dimethylformamide solution (precursor mass = 1000 mg + 1250 mg + 83.3 mg + 74.8 mg + 5658 mg = 8066.1 mg, the percentage of BVSM monomer in the precursor mass is 83.3 / 8066.1 = 1.03 wt%, the percentage of PETEA monomer in the precursor mass is 74.8 / 8066.1 = 0.93 wt%), stir well to obtain the precursor solution;

[0044] Step 2: Add 0.1 wt% of AIBN thermal polymerization initiator to the precursor solution, heat and stir at 60°C for 30 min to obtain the reaction solution; see details. Figure 1 .

[0045] Step 3: Spread the reaction solution evenly onto a glass plate and heat it at 70°C for 12 hours to obtain a solid polymer electrolyte, denoted as PBPL.

[0046] Comparative Example 1: Preparation of PL Electrolyte

[0047] Following the method in Example 1, 1.25 g LiTFSI and 1 g PVDF-HFP were dissolved in 5.658 g N,N-dimethylformamide solution, stirred until homogeneous, and then heated and dried to obtain a solid polymer electrolyte, denoted as PL.

[0048] Performance Characterization

[0049] 1) Appearance

[0050] The photographs of the solid polymer electrolyte precursor solution prepared in Example 1 of this invention before and after the polymerization reaction are shown below. Figure 1Wherein, a is a photograph of the mixed solution before the polymerization reaction, and b is a photograph of the solid polymer electrolyte precursor solution after the polymerization reaction was carried out by heating and stirring at 60°C for 30 min.

[0051] The PBPL solid polymer electrolyte of this invention is prepared by adding PVDF-HFP, LiTFSI, BVSM, and PETEA to an N,N-dimethylformamide solution and stirring until homogeneous. Additionally, AIBN is added at 60°C to initiate the polymerization of BVSM monomers and PETEA crosslinking agent, resulting in a solid polymer electrolyte precursor solution after polymerization. Finally, the polymer electrolyte precursor solution is coated onto a glass plate and dried at 70°C to obtain the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte.

[0052] 2) Infrared characterization

[0053] The PBPL solid polymer electrolyte was validated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the results are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 2 .

[0054] from Figure 2 It can be seen that at 1600-1650 cm -1 Within the range, C=C bending and tensile vibrations were observed in BVSM and PETEA monomers, respectively. No characteristic C=C peaks were observed in the polymerized PBPL solid polymer electrolyte, indicating that the three-dimensional polymer network crosslinking and curing were successful.

[0055] 3) Mechanical properties

[0056] Stress-strain tests were performed on PBPL solid electrolyte membranes and PL solid electrolyte membranes using an electronic universal testing machine. The results are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 3 .

[0057] from Figure 3 As can be seen, PBPL solid polymer electrolyte has good mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of over 5.56 MPa and a high elastic modulus of up to 39.67 MPa.

[0058] 4) Combustion experiments and thermogravimetric analysis

[0059] Test method: A lit candle was brought close to the PBPL and PL polymer electrolyte membranes to observe their flammability. Experimental results are shown below. Figure 4 .

[0060] Figure 4 The images show combustion test photographs and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) curves of the solid polymer electrolytes prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 of this invention; where a is a combustion test photograph and b is a thermogravimetric analysis (TG) curve.

[0061] Depend on Figure 4 Combustion experiments (a) show that, compared to PL electrolyte, PBPL solid polymer electrolyte maintains its non-flammability under continuous exposure to an ignition source. Thermogravimetric analysis (b) reveals that during the pyrolysis of PBPL solid polymer electrolyte and PL polymer electrolyte, the total weight loss rates from room temperature to 400℃ are 40.22% and 36.09%, respectively. This indicates that PBPL solid polymer electrolyte has better thermal stability than PL polymer electrolyte, and the introduction of a three-dimensional network with different molecular structures further delays electrolyte volatilization.

[0062] 5) Raman spectroscopy

[0063] Detection method: Use the standard testing mode, select a 785nm laser wavelength, and test wavenumber range of 500-1000cm. -1 Test three points in an arbitrary region. See the experimental results below. Figure 5 .

[0064] Figure 5 The images show the Raman spectra of the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte prepared in Example 1 and the PL polymer electrolyte prepared in Comparative Example 1; where a is the Raman spectrum of the PL polymer electrolyte and b is the Raman spectrum of the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte.

[0065] Figure 5 Raman spectroscopy was used to study TFSI - Coordination states in PBPL solid polymer electrolyte and PL polymer electrolyte. Quantitative analysis revealed that the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte contained a significantly higher proportion of aggregates and contact ion pairs (aggregates: 6.3%; contact ion pairs: 86.7%) compared to the PL polymer electrolyte (aggregates: 6.12%; contact ion pairs: 84.19%). This increased number of aggregates and contact ion pairs indicates the presence of more lithium-ion hopping sites in the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte, and the increase in hopping sites facilitates faster lithium-ion transport.

[0066] 6) Ionic conductivity

[0067] Detection method: Assemble a stainless steel symmetrical cell and connect it to an electrochemical workstation. Apply a small AC perturbation amplitude (typically 5 mV) and scan over a wide frequency range (1 MHz to 0.1 Hz). The result is a Nyquist plot, also known as a complex plane plot (-Z'' vs. Z'), which typically consists of a semicircle (or arc) in the high-frequency region and a diagonal line in the low-frequency region. The first intersection of the high-frequency region and the real axis: the x-coordinate of this point is the bulk resistance, also known as ohmic resistance. Finally, the ionic conductivity is calculated using the formula σ = L / (R × A). Experimental results are shown below. Figure 5 .

[0068] Figure 6 This is a comparison chart of the ionic conductivity at room temperature between the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte prepared in Example 1 of the present invention and the PL polymer electrolyte prepared in Comparative Example 1.

[0069] Depend on Figure 6 The comparison of ionic conductivity shows that at 25℃, the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte achieved (0.77 mS / cm). -1 The high ionic conductivity of PO4 is close to that of PL polymer electrolyte (1.3 mS / cm). -1 This indicates that the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte has excellent ionic conductivity.

[0070] 7) Lithium-ion transference number

Finally, the cells were sealed using a battery sealing machine.

[0072] Determination of the chronoamperometry curve: The electrochemical workstation was used for detection, and the time was set to 20 min.

[0073] AC impedance spectroscopy was measured using an electrochemical workstation with a frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz and a voltage range of -10 V to 10 V.

[0074] The results are shown in Figure 7 .

[0075] Figure 7The illustrations show the chronoampere curves and AC impedance spectra of the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte and PL polymer electrolyte prepared in Example 1 of this invention at a polarization voltage of 10 mV for a Li||Li symmetric cell (illustrated); where a is the chronoampere curve and AC impedance spectra of the PL polymer electrolyte (illustrated), and b is the chronoampere curve and AC impedance spectra of the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte (illustrated).

[0076] Depend on Figure 7 The chronoampere curves and AC impedance spectra before and after polarization of the Li||Li symmetric cell (illustrated) show that, according to the formula... Calculations were performed to obtain (a) the lithium-ion transfer number (t) of the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte. Li + =0.52) is significantly higher than (b) PL polymer electrolyte (t Li + =0.33) High. This significant enhancement can be attributed to the anion-rich solvation structure in the PBPL solid polymer electrolyte modulating the rapid Li + Conduction, multiple Li + The presence of ligands accelerates the Li + The migration.

[0077] 8) Cyclic performance

[0078] Preparation of Li||LFP batteries: All operations are carried out in an argon atmosphere glove box with water and oxygen content both below 0.1 ppm (preferably below 0.01 ppm). The batteries are assembled in the following order using a CR2025 type button cell, including the positive electrode shell, negative electrode shell, gasket, and spring sheet: negative electrode shell, lithium sheet, polymer electrolyte membrane, LFP electrode, gasket, spring sheet, and positive electrode shell. Finally, the batteries are sealed using a battery sealing machine.

[0079] Preparation of Li||NCM811 batteries: All operations are carried out in an argon atmosphere glove box with water and oxygen content both below 0.1 ppm (preferably below 0.01 ppm).

Conversely, the cycling performance of the PL polymer electrolyte-based Li|NCM811 battery degrades rapidly, with a capacity retention of only 55% after 61 cycles. This indicates that physical blending of PVDF-HFP with a three-dimensional polymer network with different molecular structures is beneficial for enhancing battery life.
