Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrochemical technology, and in particular to a lithium-ion battery. Background Technology

[0002] Graphite anodes possess high stability, capable of withstanding tens of thousands of charge-discharge cycles in lithium-ion batteries; however, their relatively low theoretical specific capacity limits their further application in high-energy-density systems.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] Additives in the electrolyte constitute only a small portion of the electrolyte in a lithium-ion battery, but appropriate amounts of additives can form an SEI film (also referred to as an interface film in this application) on the surface of the negative electrode material layer, reducing the risk of side reactions after direct contact between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte. Therefore, improving the stability of the SEI film by controlling the additive composition of the electrolyte is crucial for improving the electrochemical performance of silicon-based lithium-ion batteries. Addressing the problems of electrode interface damage during cycling, poor fast-charge cycle performance, and poor high-temperature storage performance in existing silicon-based lithium-ion batteries, this application provides a lithium-ion battery comprising an electrolyte containing a first additive and a second additive, and a silicon-containing negative electrode sheet, enabling the lithium-ion battery to achieve both high energy density and good fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance.

[0030] This application provides a lithium-ion battery, which includes an electrolyte and a negative electrode sheet, wherein the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode active material, and the negative electrode active material includes silicon.

[0031] The electrolyte includes a first additive and a second additive, the first additive having the structural formula shown in Formula I.

[0034] The structural formula of the second additive is shown in Formula II.

[0035] R4 is selected from C1 to C6 alkyl, C2 to C6 alkenyl, and C2 to C6 alkynyl;

[0036] R5-R8 are each independently selected from halogens and C1 to C6 alkyl groups; preferably, R5-R8 are selected from F.

[0037] M is an alkali metal, selected from Li, Na, or K;

[0038] Y + It is a monovalent cation, selected from , , or .

[0039] The inventors discovered that the first additive undergoes electropolymerization during lithium-ion battery operation, resulting in silicon-based deprotection and fluorophosphate decomposition, forming a composite SEI film and positive electrode electrolyte interface film (CEI film) rich in siloxane networks and LiF. The byproduct Li3PO4 formed during the decomposition process can reduce the impact of transition metal dissolution; the byproduct LiF can reduce the impedance of the SEI film; and the byproduct PO3F2... - It possesses the ability to bind transition metal ions, preventing them from diffusing to the negative electrode and damaging the SEI film. The cross-linked siloxane network has a decomposition temperature exceeding 300°C and low solubility, providing a flexible framework for inorganic products such as LiF and Li3PO4, better adapting to the effects of silicon negative electrode expansion. However, the Si-O network structure polymerized solely by the first additive is insufficient to fully form the organic cross-linked framework of the SEI film. Furthermore, PF bonds are easily induced by external factors, such as trace amounts of water in the electrolyte, leading to bond breakage and F removal, causing a sharp increase in electrolyte acidity, which can damage the stability of the positive electrode active material, accelerate the dissolution of transition metal ions, and also accelerate the dissolution of the SEI film, hindering the application of high-content first additives. The second additive has a lower least unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level and preferentially decomposes during lithium-ion battery operation, forming an interface film rich in Li2SO4, Li3PO4, Li2CO3, and LiF. This can reduce the interface film impedance and allow for the formation of more Li... +Vacancies and the space charge layer formed between interface defects can further improve the conductivity of the interface film, thereby establishing excellent SEI and CEI films for lithium-ion batteries. Simultaneously, the second additive contains the electronegative group -CN, which can coordinate with transition metals, inhibiting transition metal dissolution and tunneling. The lone pair electrons of the -CN component can act as sacrificial agents for HF (generated by the reaction of electrolyte components with trace amounts of water, or by the decomposition of electrolyte components) and H2O (trace amounts of water in lithium-ion batteries, at the ppm level), forming stable F(O)·HN hydrogen bonds with HF, or with HF and H2O. This helps ensure the stable operation of the positive electrode active material, which is sensitive to HF and H2O, during cycling, further guaranteeing the operational stability of the lithium-ion battery. The second additive, sulfonic acid containing unsaturated groups, also undergoes polymerization. Compared to the polymerization of carbonates, it exhibits higher stability and provides high-performance inorganic components for both SEI and CEI films. It can adapt to volume changes during lithium-ion battery operation, enabling the lithium-ion battery to possess both high strength and suitable elasticity. It can synergistically work with the Si-O network structure of the first additive to ensure the stable operation of lithium-ion batteries with silicon-containing anodes. Furthermore, the second additive has low solubility, less than 2 wt% in electrolyte. Using only the second additive is insufficient to ensure the integrity of the positive and negative electrode films; therefore, the first and second additives are used in combination. Silicon possesses extremely high theoretical specific capacity and low lithium intercalation potential, and can provide Li+ in multiple directions. + Insertion / deintercalation channels. Using the electrolyte comprising the first and second additives of this application, combined with silicon-containing negative electrode sheets, can not only improve the capacity of lithium-ion batteries but also alleviate problems such as unstable SEI film growth and volume expansion caused by silicon. The combined use of the two additives allows for electropolymerization during lithium-ion battery operation, enabling them to adhere together to the surfaces of the positive and negative electrode sheets, maintaining the stability and smoothness of the electrode interface film, promoting stable cycling of silicon-based lithium-ion batteries, and thus enabling lithium-ion batteries to have both high energy density and good fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance.

[0040] In one embodiment, the first additive is selected from at least one of the following compounds: compound I-1 (CAS No.: 2708941-25-5), Compound I-2 (CAS No.: 4419-25-9), Compound I-3 (CAS No.: 13683-39-1), Compound I-4 (CAS No.: 4414-27-1), Compound I-5 (CAS No.: 4414-26-0), Compound I-6 (CAS No.: 4480-02-8), Compound I-7 (CAS No.: 2577172-95-1), Compound I-8 (CAS No.: 13683-40-4), Compound I-9 (CAS No.: 2577172-93-9), Compound I-10 (CAS No.: 2708941-27-7), Compound I-11 (CAS No.: 2287283-36-5), Compound I-12 (CAS No.: 6231-57-8), Compound I-13 (CAS No.: 1386-54-9), Compound I-14 (CAS No.: 2708941-26-6), Compound I-15 (CAS No.: 6231-58-9), Compound I-16 (CAS No.: 6231-59-0), Compound I-17 (CAS No.: 2577172-94-0), Compound I-18 Compound I-19 Compound I-20 Compound I-21 Compound I-22 The use of the first additive described above can effectively enhance its synergistic effect with the second additive, resulting in lithium-ion batteries with higher energy density, better fast-charge cycle performance, and better high-temperature storage performance.

[0041] In this application, compounds I-18 to I-22 can be prepared according to the following synthetic method: Under anhydrous conditions, sodium difluorophosphate is added to a reaction vessel, followed by ultra-dry acetonitrile solvent. The solid is stirred and dissolved at a controlled temperature of 20°C to 60°C. Then, chlorosilane is slowly added, maintaining a nitrogen atmosphere during the addition of chlorosilane and stirring continuously at 20°C to 60°C for 6 to 10 hours. After the reaction is complete, the mixture is allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 to 3 hours, then filtered to remove the solid precipitate. Nitrogen gas is then used to bubble the solvent and volatile byproducts to obtain the desired silane-based fluorophosphate product. The molar ratio of sodium difluorophosphate to chlorosilane is 1:(0.5 to 2). "Room temperature" refers to 25°C ± 5°C. Compound I-18 The raw material for the chlorosilane is trivinylchlorosilane (1871-21-2), compound I-19. The chlorosilane raw material is dimethylynyl butyl chlorosilane (2069196-19-4), compound I-20 The chlorosilane raw material is dimethyl(trifluoropropenyl)chlorosilane (89705-02-2), compound I-21 The chlorosilane raw material is tris(pentafluoroethyl)chlorosilane (1620665-21-5), compound I-22 The raw material for the chlorosilane is dimethyl (p-methylbenzyl)chlorosilane (1833-28-9).

[0042] In one embodiment, the first additive is selected from at least one of the following compounds: .

[0043] Using the first type of additive described above can better leverage its synergistic effect with the second additive, resulting in better fast-charge cycle performance and better high-temperature storage performance for lithium-ion batteries.

[0044] In one embodiment, the second additive is selected from at least one of the following compounds: .

[0045] Using the above-mentioned type of second additive can better exert the synergistic effect with the first additive, enabling lithium-ion batteries to have higher energy density, better fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance.

[0046] In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the first additive to the second additive is 1:(0.01 to 5), preferably 1:(0.1 to 2), and more preferably 1:(0.1 to 1). For example, the mass ratio of the first additive to the second additive can be 1:0.01, 1:0.05, 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.4, 1:0.5, 1:0.6, 1:0.8, 1:1, 1:1.2, 1:1.4, 1:1.6, 1:1.8, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:3.5, 1:4, 1:4.5, 1:5, or a range of any two of these values. When the mass ratio of the first additive to the second additive is less than 1:5, the content of the second additive is too high compared to the first additive. This makes it difficult for the electrolyte to dissociate a large amount of the second additive, increasing the risk of electrolyte turbidity and lithium salt deposition. It also easily leads to uneven distribution of lithium salt concentration gradients, significant polarization, and excessively thick film formation with a large initial DCR, which is detrimental to improving the fast-charge cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries. When the mass ratio of the first additive to the second additive is greater than 1:0.01, the interfacial film formation is insufficient, and the synergistic effect of the first and second additives is difficult to fully exert, thus affecting the fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of lithium-ion batteries. The increase is not significant; by adjusting the mass ratio of the first additive and the second additive within the above range, the inorganic and organic components cross-link to form a film, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the lithium-ion battery interface film. This gives the interface film good toughness and a certain strength, which can resist the expansion of the silicon anode. It also enables the electrolyte and the positive and negative electrode interfaces to have good ionic conductivity, which is beneficial to the desolvation of lithium ions. At the same time, the moderate thickness of the interface film can reduce the lithium ion conduction path, which is beneficial to the fast charging performance. It also helps to improve the flatness of the positive and negative electrode surfaces, promotes the cycle stability of the lithium-ion battery, and thus enables the lithium-ion battery to have high energy density while having good fast charging cycle performance and high temperature storage performance.

[0047] In one embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage content of the first additive is 0.01% to 5%, preferably 0.1% to 2%. For example, the mass percentage content of the first additive can be 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, or a range of any two of these values. Controlling the mass percentage content of the first additive within the above range allows for better synergy with the second additive, improving the flatness of the positive and negative electrode surfaces of the lithium-ion battery and reducing the risk of SEI film rupture due to excessively high internal inorganic salt content. This, in turn, enhances the fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0048] In one embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage content of the second additive is 0.01% to 2%, preferably 0.1% to 1%. For example, the mass percentage content of the second additive can be 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, or a range of any two of these values. Regulating the mass percentage content of the second additive within the above range allows for better synergy with the first additive, fully forming the organic cross-linked framework of the SEI film. Simultaneously, it reduces the probability of vertical adsorption on the surface of the negative electrode, improving the stability of the negative electrode surface structure and enhancing the flatness of the positive and negative electrode surfaces. This, in turn, improves the fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0049] In one embodiment, the electrolyte further includes a third additive selected from at least one of vinylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate; the mass percentage of the third additive is 1% to 23% based on the total mass of the electrolyte. For example, the mass percentage of the third additive can be 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 13%, 15%, 16%, 18%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, or a range of any two of these values. Using the above-mentioned third additive and controlling its mass percentage within the above range allows for better dissociation of lithium salts and stronger binding ability with Li ions. It can participate in the first solvation sheath layer, forming a film earlier due to its strong reducing activity, reducing side reactions, and further enhancing the film-forming stability of the SEI film. Simultaneously, it provides more and more uniform inorganic sites for the first and second additives, resulting in a more uniform overall interfacial film. This leads to lithium-ion batteries having high energy density while also exhibiting better fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance.

[0050] In one embodiment, the third additive is vinylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate; based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of vinylene carbonate is 0.05% to 3%, and the mass percentage of fluoroethylene carbonate is 2% to 20%. For example, the mass percentage of vinylene carbonate can be 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.3%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3%, or a range of any two of these values. The mass percentage of fluoroethylene carbonate can be 2%, 3%, 5%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 13%, 15%, 16%, 18%, 20%, or a range of any two of these values. Using this third additive enables lithium-ion batteries to have high energy density while also exhibiting better fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance.

[0051] In one embodiment, the electrolyte further includes a lithium salt selected from at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) and lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI). Using the aforementioned lithium salt can reduce the risk of gas generation in lithium-ion batteries and improve their fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance.

[0052] In one embodiment, the lithium salt has a mass percentage content of 6% to 20% based on the total mass of the electrolyte. For example, the lithium salt mass percentage content can be 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, or a range of any two of these values. Controlling the lithium salt mass percentage content within the above range allows for an optimized balance between conductivity, safety, interface stability, thermal stability, and cost, thereby enabling the lithium-ion battery to simultaneously possess high energy density, good fast-charge cycle performance, and high-temperature storage performance.

[0053] In one embodiment, the lithium salt is lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide in a mass ratio of 8:(0.5 to 1.5). For example, the mass ratio of lithium hexafluorophosphate to lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide can be 8:0.5, 8:0.6, 8:0.8, 8:1, 8:1.2, 8:1.3, 8:1.5, or a range of any two of these values. Using this lithium salt can further reduce the risk of gas generation in lithium-ion batteries, which is beneficial for further improving the fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0054] In this application, the electrolyte further includes a solvent selected from at least one of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, γ-butyrolactone, sulfolane, fluoroethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, methyl ethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, methyl propyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, propyl propionate, ethyl propionate, propyl acetate, methyl propionate, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether, and 2,2-difluoroethyl acetate; the mass percentage of the solvent is from 50% to 93% based on the mass of the electrolyte. For example, the mass percentage of the solvent can be 50%, 52%, 55%, 58%, 60%, 62%, 65%, 68%, 70%, 72%, 75%, 78%, 80%, 82%, 85%, 88%, 90%, 93%, or a range of any two of these values, based on the mass of the electrolyte.

[0055] In one embodiment, the negative electrode includes a negative current collector and a negative electrode material layer disposed on at least one surface of the negative current collector; the negative electrode material layer includes a negative electrode active material, which includes silicon. The phrase "a negative electrode material layer disposed on at least one surface of the negative current collector" means that the negative electrode material layer can be disposed on one surface of the negative current collector along its thickness direction, or on two surfaces of the negative current collector along its thickness direction. It should be noted that the "surface" here can be the entire surface area of ​​the negative current collector, or a portion thereof; this application has no particular limitation, as long as the purpose of this application is achieved. Silicon has extremely high theoretical specific capacity and low lithium intercalation potential, and can provide Li in multiple directions. + Insertion / deintercalation channels. Using the electrolyte of this application in conjunction with silicon-containing negative electrode sheets can not only improve the capacity of lithium-ion batteries, but also alleviate problems such as unstable growth and volume expansion of the SEI film caused by silicon, thereby improving the energy density, fast charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0056] In one embodiment, the silicon content by mass percentage is 0.5% to 15% based on the total mass of the negative electrode material layer. For example, the silicon content by mass percentage can be 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, or a range of any two of these values. In this application, the silicon content in the negative electrode material layer can be controlled by adjusting the mass percentage of the silicon-containing negative electrode active material. Controlling the silicon content within the above range is beneficial for improving the lithium-ion battery capacity and avoids the risk of unstable SEI film growth and volume expansion due to excessive silicon, enabling the lithium-ion battery to simultaneously possess high energy density, good fast-charge cycle performance, and good high-temperature storage performance.

[0057] In one embodiment, the negative electrode active material may be a silicon-based material known in the art for use in lithium-ion batteries. For example, it may include at least one of the following silicon-based materials: elemental silicon, silicon oxides, silicon-carbon composites, and CVD silicon (i.e., silicon materials prepared by chemical vapor deposition). The negative electrode active material may also include carbon materials, such as at least one of natural graphite, artificial graphite, soft carbon, hard carbon, mesophase carbon microspheres, and nanocarbon.

[0058] In one embodiment, the lithium-ion battery further includes a positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheet comprising a positive current collector and a positive electrode material layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector; the positive electrode material layer comprises a positive electrode active material; the positive electrode active material is selected from LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, LiMnO2, Li2MnO4, LiFePO4, and LiNi. x Co y Mn 1-x- y At least one of O2, wherein 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 1, 0 < 1 - xy < 1. The aforementioned "positive electrode material layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector" means that the positive electrode material layer can be disposed on one surface of the positive electrode current collector along its own thickness direction, or on two surfaces of the positive electrode current collector along its own thickness direction.

[0115] Note: " / " in Table 1 indicates that there are no corresponding preparation parameters.

[0116] Table 2

[0117] Note: In Table 2, " / " indicates that there are no corresponding preparation parameters.

[0118] Based on the results of Examples 1-1 to 1-28, Examples 2-1 to 2-15, and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-6 in Tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that the silicon-based lithium-ion batteries using the first and second additives of this application have a high capacity retention rate of 3CC / 1DC after 1000 cycles at 25°C, a high capacity recovery rate after 30 days of storage at 60°C, and a high energy density. This indicates that the lithium-ion batteries have good fast-charging cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance while having high energy density.

[0119] As can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-15 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-5, by adjusting the content of the first additive, the content of the second additive, and the mass ratio of the first additive to the second additive within the scope of this application, silicon-based lithium-ion batteries can have a high capacity retention rate of 3CC / 1DC after 1000 cycles at 25°C and a high capacity recovery rate after 30 days of storage at 60°C. This indicates that lithium-ion batteries using silicon-containing anodes have good fast-charging cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance.

[0120] As can be seen from Examples 1-1, 1-16 to 1-23 and Comparative Examples 1-6, the use of the first and second additives of this application can improve the capacity retention rate of silicon-based lithium-ion batteries after 1000 cycles at 25°C and 3CC / 1DC and the capacity recovery rate after 30 days of storage at 60°C, thereby improving the fast-charging cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of silicon-based lithium-ion batteries.

[0121] In this application, the silicon content in the negative electrode material layer remains unchanged, and the energy density of the silicon-based lithium-ion battery also remains essentially unchanged. As can be seen from Examples 1-1, 1-24 to 1-28, with the increase of silicon content in the negative electrode material layer, the energy density of the lithium-ion battery significantly improves. Simultaneously, the fast-charging cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. The results indicate that by controlling the silicon content in the negative electrode material layer within the scope of this application, the lithium-ion battery can achieve both high energy density and better fast-charging cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance. In Examples 1-24, the addition of a small amount of Si can reduce the crosstalk of Li ions to the graphite-containing negative electrode, and Si has a lower desolvation energy, which accelerates lithium-ion migration, thus resulting in poorer fast-charging cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0122] As can be seen from Examples 1-1 and 2-1 to 2-8, using the third additive of this application and adjusting its content within the scope of this application can further improve the fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of silicon-based lithium-ion batteries. As can be seen from Examples 1-1 and 2-9 to 2-15, using the lithium salt of this application and adjusting the lithium salt content within the scope of this application can enable lithium-ion batteries to simultaneously possess good fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance; using a lithium salt containing lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium difluorosulfonylimide and adjusting their mass ratio within the scope of this application can further improve the fast-charge cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of lithium-ion batteries.
