Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing a novel acrylate monomer with a bifunctional structure. Background Technology

[0002] Organic carbonate-based liquid electrolytes commonly used in lithium-ion batteries pose safety hazards such as leakage, fire, and explosion. The formation of lithium dendrites can also lead to poor battery cycle performance, gas buildup, and even short circuits. To improve battery safety, researchers have been dedicated to developing new structures.

[0003] Acrylates containing cyclic ester groups possess excellent flexibility and lithium-ion transport promoting properties, facilitating the full wetting and spreading of binders on the electrode particle surface, forming a more robust adhesive network, and reducing interfacial impedance. For example, KR20120106985A uses (meth)acrylate monomers with cyclic ester residues in the binder composition of conductive films, improving the adhesive strength of anisotropic conductive films and reducing on-resistance. Meanwhile, acrylates containing urethane exhibit strong mechanical strength and good electrochemical stability. The strong hydrogen bond network formed by their urethane bonds endows the material with extremely high cohesive energy and adhesive force, preventing electrode delamination and failure during long-term cycling and maintaining long-term structural integrity. For instance, CN107078342B solves the safety issues of liquid electrolytes by using a gel polymer electrolyte composed of urethane, acrylate, and fluorinated alkyl groups in lithium secondary batteries, improving the battery's mechanical strength and ionic conductivity, and extending battery life. Introducing both urethane and cyclic esters into acrylates offers synergistic advantages unmatched by single-structure materials. It achieves a balance between strength and toughness, constructs a stable and ion-conducting interface layer, reduces interfacial impedance, improves rate performance, provides a high safety factor for high-performance separator coatings, offers better adhesion to electrodes, and contributes to the long-term cycle stability of batteries. When used as a solid electrolyte matrix, it introduces lithium salts into a "rigid-flexible" polymer network, resulting in good mechanical properties and high ionic conductivity. For example, CN110218276A uses acrylate compounds containing cyclic carbonate structures as monomers to prepare polymer electrolytes through in-situ polymerization. This results in a wide electrochemical window, high lithium-ion conductivity, and good mechanical properties, effectively suppressing lithium dendrite formation and improving high-voltage cycle stability. Japanese patent JP2008127498A uses (meth)acrylate compounds containing cyclic carbonates as solid electrolyte polymers, achieving excellent ionic conductivity.

[0004] There are few existing technologies involving the preparation of such compounds, mainly relying on isocyanate precursor compounds for synthesis. For example, Japanese Patent JP2008127498A involves the reaction of 2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate with an alcohol containing a cyclic ester, but this requires the removal of water as much as possible from the reaction system and the use of alkyltin noble metal catalysts, which can easily leave metal ions in the product. The literature Chem. Mater. 2020, 32, 9167-9175 uses 4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxane-2-one with 2-isocyanoethyl methacrylate, which requires strict control of reaction conditions and involves complex post-processing steps. Summary of the Invention
