Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery technology, and more specifically to a battery. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries continue to strive for higher battery life to meet consumers' growing demand for extended battery life in electronic products. Currently, lithium-ion batteries improve energy density by increasing the silicon-based material content of the negative electrode or by using ion-permeable binders in the positive electrode to improve the utilization rate of the positive electrode active material, thereby enhancing the performance and battery life of lithium-ion batteries.
[0003] However, as the silicon-based material content in the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries increases, the silicon-based material is prone to volume expansion during cycling, which leads to the rupture of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film. The repeated rupture and regeneration of the SEI film can easily increase the interfacial impedance, deteriorate the interfacial performance between the negative electrode and the electrolyte, and reduce the cycle performance of the battery.
[0004] Therefore, it is very important to invent a battery that can meet the demand for high "endurance" and improve the interfacial performance between the negative electrode and the electrolyte. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Studies have found that adding fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and difluoroethylene carbonate (DFEC) as film-forming additives to the electrolyte can suppress the volume expansion of silicon-based materials and improve the interfacial performance between the negative electrode and the electrolyte. FEC can be electrochemically reduced to generate an organic phase component mainly composed of fluoropolymers, which gives the SEI film excellent flexibility and can effectively buffer the SEI film rupture caused by the volume expansion of silicon-based materials during charging and discharging. Difluoroethylene carbonate, with its unique difluorinated structure, can provide an abundant fluorine source, promote the formation of inorganic LiF components with high mechanical strength in the SEI film, thereby suppressing the volume expansion effect of silicon-based materials. Therefore, through the synergistic effect of FEC and DFEC, the SEI film can have both flexibility and high mechanical strength, thereby suppressing the volume expansion of silicon-based materials and improving the cycle performance of the battery.
[0006] To improve the utilization rate of active materials, further enhance battery energy density, and meet the demand for high "range," the conventional adhesive components (non-ion-permeable adhesive paper) originally installed on the positive electrode are partially or completely replaced with ion-permeable adhesive components. While difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate can suppress the volume expansion of silicon-based materials and improve the interfacial performance of the negative electrode, their high viscosity increases the viscosity of the electrolyte. This weakens the ion-permeable effect of the adhesive components used in the positive electrode. Simultaneously, at high temperatures, the stability of the CF bonds in difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate decreases, easily generating more hydrofluoric acid (HF), which corrodes the adhesive components in the positive electrode, further weakening their ion-permeable effect. This reduces the utilization rate of the positive electrode active materials, adversely affecting battery energy density. Furthermore, HF corrosion can even cause the adhesive components to detach, compromising battery structural stability and reducing high-temperature cycle stability.
[0007] To simultaneously address the issues of decreased interfacial performance between the negative electrode and electrolyte due to silicon-based material expansion, reduced utilization of positive electrode active materials due to high hydrofluoric acid concentration in the electrolyte, and battery corrosion, this invention provides a battery. The battery of this invention can form a soft and mechanically strong SEI film on the surface of the silicon-based material, reducing the volume expansion of the silicon-based material. This improves the interfacial performance between the negative electrode and the electrolyte, enhancing the battery's cycle performance. Simultaneously, it reduces the concentration of hydrofluoric acid in the electrolyte, minimizing its corrosion of the bonding components and the battery itself, ensuring ion permeability of the bonding components. Therefore, the battery possesses both high high-temperature cycle performance and high energy density.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a battery comprising a cell and an electrolyte. The cell comprises a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode, which are sequentially stacked and wound. The negative electrode comprises a negative current collector and a negative active layer located on one or both surfaces of the negative current collector, the negative active layer comprising a silicon-based material. The positive electrode comprises an adhesive, the adhesive comprising a substrate layer and an adhesive layer, the substrate layer comprising a plurality of fibers and pores formed by the plurality of fibers, the pore size of the substrate layer being 0.1 μm-50 μm. The electrolyte comprises difluoroethylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, and non-fluorocarboxylic acid esters; the battery satisfies the following relationship: 0.01≤a≤3, 5≤b≤30, 5≤d≤45, where a% is the weight percentage of difluoroethylene carbonate in the electrolyte, b% is the weight percentage of fluoroethylene carbonate in the electrolyte, and d% is the weight percentage of non-fluorocarboxylic acid esters in the electrolyte.
[0009] By employing the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art: The negative electrode of this invention comprises a silicon-based material, which effectively improves the battery's energy density and range. The ion-permeable adhesive in the positive electrode facilitates the lithium-ion insertion / extraction reaction of the positive electrode active material beneath it, thereby improving the utilization rate of the positive electrode active material and further enhancing the battery's energy density and range. Furthermore, the addition of difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate to the electrolyte allows them to synergistically form a high-strength and flexible SEI film on the surface of the silicon-based material. This reduces the volume expansion of the silicon-based material, improves the interfacial stability between the negative electrode and the electrolyte, and enhances the battery's cycle performance.
[0010] Meanwhile, a low-viscosity non-fluorinated carboxylic acid ester is added to the electrolyte of the battery of the present invention. This not only reduces the concentration of hydrofluoric acid in the electrolyte and reduces the corrosion of lithium-ion transmission paper by hydrofluoric acid, ensuring the ion transmission effect of the lithium-ion transmission paper and improving the energy density of the battery, but also reduces the viscosity of the electrolyte, improves the overall lithium-ion transport rate, improves the high-temperature cycle performance of the battery, enhances the kinetic performance of the battery, and reduces the risk of severe lithium plating due to insufficient kinetic performance of the negative electrode.
[0011] Simultaneously, by controlling the battery to satisfy the following relationships: 0.01≤a≤3, 5≤b≤30, 5≤d≤45, the matching degree of silicon-based materials, difluoroethylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, and non-fluorocarboxylic acid esters can be improved. This ensures the presence of appropriate amounts of difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate in the electrolyte. With the synergistic effect of difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate, a complete SEI film with both mechanical strength and flexibility can be formed in the silicon-based material of the negative electrode active layer. This improves or even avoids repeated rupture and regeneration of the SEI film, thereby improving the interfacial performance of the negative electrode and further enhancing the cycle performance of the battery. Simultaneously, with the synergistic effect of difluoroethylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, and non-fluorocarboxylic acid esters, the concentration of hydrofluoric acid in the electrolyte can be further reduced, the corrosion of the bonding components by hydrofluoric acid can be further reduced, and the energy density of the battery can be further improved. At the same time, the viscosity of the electrolyte can be reduced, the overall lithium-ion transport rate can be further improved, and the high-temperature cycle performance of the battery can be improved. Moreover, the lower viscosity electrolyte also has better wettability, which is conducive to further improving the kinetic performance of the battery and further reducing the risk of severe lithium plating. Thus, the battery has both high high-temperature cycle performance, high energy density, and reduced risk of severe lithium plating.

[0021] The following provides a detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative and explanatory purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Unless otherwise specified herein, data ranges include endpoints.
[0022] It should be noted that the numerical designations such as "first" and "second" in this invention are only used to distinguish different substances or methods of use, and do not represent a difference in order.
[0023] This invention provides a battery comprising a cell and an electrolyte. The cell comprises a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode, which are sequentially stacked and wound. The negative electrode comprises a negative current collector and a negative active layer located on one or both surfaces of the negative current collector, the negative active layer comprising a silicon-based material. The positive electrode comprises an adhesive, the adhesive comprising a substrate layer and an adhesive layer. The substrate layer comprises a plurality of fibers and pores formed by the plurality of fibers, the pore size of the substrate layer being 0.1 μm-50 μm (e.g., 0.1 μm, 1 μm, 5 μm, 10 μm, 20 μm, 30 μm, 40 μm, or 50 μm). The electrolyte comprises difluoroethylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, and non-fluorocarboxylic acid esters; the battery satisfies the following relationship: 0.01≤a≤3 (e.g., 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3), 5≤b≤30 (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30), 5≤d≤45 (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, or 45), where a% is the weight percentage of difluoroethylene carbonate in the electrolyte, b% is the weight percentage of fluoroethylene carbonate in the electrolyte, and d% is the weight percentage of non-fluorocarboxylic acid esters in the electrolyte.
[0024] The negative electrode of the battery of this invention comprises silicon-based materials, which can effectively improve the energy density of the battery. However, silicon-based materials are prone to volume expansion during cycling, leading to the rupture of the negative electrode interface film (SEI film), deteriorating the interface performance of the negative electrode, and reducing the cycle performance of the battery. By adding difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate to the electrolyte, the fluoroethylene carbonate can participate in the formation of the SEI film, generating an organic phase component mainly composed of fluoropolymers, increasing the flexibility of the SEI film, buffering the volume expansion of the silicon-based material during charging and discharging, and preventing the SEI film from rupturing. The difluorosubstituted structure of the difluoroethylene carbonate can provide an abundant fluorine source, promoting the formation of inorganic LiF components with high mechanical strength in the SEI film. The difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate work synergistically to form a flexible and strong SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode, reducing the volume expansion of the silicon-based material while improving the interface stability of the negative electrode and enhancing the cycle performance of the battery.
[0025] To improve the utilization rate of positive electrode active materials and further enhance battery energy density, the conventional adhesives (non-ion-permeable adhesive paper) originally installed on the positive electrode sheet are partially or completely replaced with ion-permeable adhesives. This improves the battery's bonding stability while providing excellent lithium-ion permeability. The positive electrode active materials in the layer beneath the adhesive can undergo lithium-ion deintercalation / intercalation through the adhesive, increasing the utilization rate of the positive electrode active materials. Simultaneously, controlling the pore size of the substrate layer allows the electrolyte to flow and quickly permeate through it, further enhancing the ion permeability of the adhesive, improving its lithium-ion transport performance, and increasing battery energy density. It also reduces or even avoids excessive electrolyte interference affecting the adhesive's bonding strength, thus improving battery cycle stability. Furthermore, for example, the adhesives in the positive electrode sheet corresponding to the edge of the negative electrode sheet have excellent lithium-ion permeability, further improving the ion conductivity of the adhesive, reducing local concentration gradients, and reducing or even avoiding lithium-ion accumulation at the edge or defects of the negative electrode, preventing lithium deposition at the edge of the negative electrode sheet.
[0026] While introducing difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate into the electrolyte can suppress the volume expansion of silicon-based materials and improve the interfacial performance of the negative electrode, the high viscosity of difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate increases the electrolyte viscosity and weakens the ion permeability of the bonding components, which is not conducive to improving the energy density of the battery. In fact, the bonding components may even fall off under the corrosion of HF, reducing the stability of the battery structure and the high-temperature cycle stability of the battery.
[0027] The addition of non-fluorinated carboxylic acid esters to the electrolyte, with their lower viscosity, can reduce the viscosity of electrolyte systems containing difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate, thereby enhancing their ion transport capacity. This prevents the reduced ion permeability of the bonding components due to increased electrolyte viscosity, thus avoiding adverse effects on the battery's energy density. Simultaneously, it dilutes the difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate in the electrolyte, as well as the HF generated at high temperatures, preventing high-concentration HF from corroding the bonding components and reducing their ion permeability. Furthermore, it minimizes or even eliminates the stability reduction caused by bonding component detachment, improving the battery's high-temperature cycle stability. In addition, the addition of non-fluorinated carboxylic acid esters to the electrolyte results in lower viscosity, improving wettability and lithium-ion transport capacity, enhancing battery kinetic performance, and effectively preventing lithium plating caused by insufficient negative electrode kinetics.
[0028] Based on this, the battery is controlled to satisfy the following relationships: 0.01≤a≤3, 5≤b≤30, 5≤d≤45. Silicon-based materials, difluoroethylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, and non-fluorocarboxylic acid esters work synergistically to ensure that the electrolyte in the silicon-based anode system contains appropriate amounts of difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate. These difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate form a complete SEI film with both mechanical strength and flexibility in the anode active layer, improving or even preventing repeated rupture and regeneration of the SEI film, enhancing the interfacial performance between the anode and the electrolyte, and further improving the battery's cycle performance. Simultaneously, the difluoroethylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, and... Non-fluorinated carboxylic acid esters enable the electrolyte to have lower viscosity, while also reducing the concentration of hydrofluoric acid generated by difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate at high temperatures. This reduces the corrosion of the bonding components by hydrofluoric acid, ensuring good ion permeability of the bonding components, further improving the battery's energy density, enhancing the overall lithium-ion transport rate and battery structural stability, and further improving the battery's high-temperature cycle performance. Moreover, the lower viscosity electrolyte also has better wettability, further improving the battery's kinetic performance and reducing the risk of severe lithium plating on the negative electrode. As a result, the battery has good energy density and cycle performance, mitigating or eliminating lithium plating phenomena inside the battery.
[0029] In this invention, the pore size of the substrate layer in the adhesive is obtained by methods known in the art. One such method is described here: An adhesive sample is taken and immersed in a benzene solution for 4 hours. After drying, the sample is dried, and the pore size of the adhesive tape sample is measured using a pore size analyzer. The pore size with the largest proportion in the pore size distribution diagram is taken as the pore size of the adhesive. Note that the adhesive can also be immersed in organic solvents such as toluene; this application does not limit the type of immersion solvent.
[0030] In this invention, by controlling the battery to satisfy the following relationships: 0.01≤a≤3, 5≤b≤30, 5≤d≤45, compared with the prior art, the battery can achieve both high-temperature cycle performance, high energy density, and reduced risk of severe lithium plating. To further improve the effect, one or more of the technical features can be further optimized.
[0031] In some embodiments, the weight percentage (c%) of silicon in the negative electrode active layer is 2%-45% (e.g., 1%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 28%, 30%, 40%, 43% or 45%).
[0032] In this invention, the weight percentage of silicon in the negative electrode active layer can be measured by the following method: for example, after discharging the battery to 0% SOC, the negative electrode sheet is disassembled and removed. It is then soaked in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) solvent for 12 hours, followed by rinsing with DMC solvent to remove lithium salts adhering to the negative electrode sheet. After drying, the negative electrode sheet is subjected to high-temperature treatment at 400°C in an inert atmosphere for 2 hours (e.g., in a tube furnace under nitrogen or argon atmosphere). The negative electrode active layer can then be peeled off from the negative electrode current collector, and collected as a test sample. Using a thermogravimetric analyzer (e.g., a TGA 550 thermogravimetric analyzer), the sample amount is 5mg-15mg. Under an air or oxygen atmosphere, the temperature is increased from room temperature (25°C) to 900°C at a rate of 10°C / min, and held at 900°C for 40 minutes. This allows the non-silicon components in the negative electrode active layer to volatilize while the silicon is fully oxidized to silicon dioxide. The remaining substance is the ash of the negative electrode active layer. The weight ratio of silicon in the negative electrode active layer can be calculated based on the weight of the ash. The calculation formula is as follows: weight ratio of silicon in the negative electrode active layer = 7 × weight of ash / (15 × weight of test sample).
[0033] In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the silicon-based material in the negative electrode active layer is 3%-80% (e.g., 3%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 42%, 45%, 48%, 50%, 60%, 70% or 80%).

[0040] In some embodiments, the silicon-based material comprises silicon-carbon particles, wherein the particle size distribution of the silicon-carbon particles satisfies: 0.3 μm ≤ Dv10 ≤ 6 μm (e.g., 0.3 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, 5.5 μm or 6 μm).

Controlling the silicon-carbon particles to satisfy the above particle size distribution results in a narrower particle size distribution in the negative electrode, which improves the uniformity of the silicon-carbon particle size, reduces or even avoids the pulverization of silicon-carbon particles in the negative electrode, further reduces or even avoids repeated rupture of the SEI film, further improves the interfacial performance between the negative electrode and the electrolyte, and the densely packed uniform silicon-carbon particles reduce particle breakage and shedding, maintain contact with the negative electrode current collector, stabilize the SEI film, and make the negative electrode more conductive, thereby improving the conductivity and cycle stability of the negative electrode.

[0078] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes ethyl fluoroacetate, which includes 2,2-difluoroethyl acetate and / or ethyl 2,2-difluoroacetate. Adding ethyl fluoroacetate to the electrolyte can reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte in the difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate systems, further improving the ion permeability of the bonding elements in the positive electrode and increasing the battery energy density. Furthermore, 2,2-difluoroethyl acetate has a high holo-molar orbital (HOMO) energy and a low LUMO energy, which helps promote the formation of an SEI film on the surface of silicon-carbon particles in the negative electrode, further improving the stability of the negative electrode electrolyte interface and enhancing the battery's cycle performance. Simultaneously, the high HOMO energy and low LUMO energy of 2,2-difluoroethyl acetate also give it strong antioxidant capabilities, making the electrolyte more difficult to oxidize, broadening the electrochemical stability window, improving battery stability at high voltages, and enhancing battery safety.
[0079] In some embodiments, the ethyl fluoroacetate comprises 3%-50% by weight in the electrolyte.
[0080] In some embodiments, the additives include one or more of the following: cyclic carbonate additives, cyclic sulfonyl lactone additives, phosphazene compounds, sulfur compounds, nitrile additives, and lithium salt additives.

[0082] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes a phosphazene compound, wherein the phosphazene compound comprises the structure shown in Formula I and / or Formula II: (Formula I); (Formula II) Among them, R 1 R 2 R 3 R 5 R 6 R 7 Each of the substituents is independently selected from O, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl groups, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkoxy groups, and the substituted substituent is a halogen.

Taking "methyl" as an example, when R 1 R 2 R 3 R 5 R 6 R 7 When methyl is selected, the structure of methyl is -CH2-.
[0086] In some embodiments, R 1 R 2 R 3 same.
[0087] In some embodiments, R 5 R 6 R 7 same.
[0088] Adding a phosphazene compound with the above-mentioned structure to the electrolyte allows the cyano group in the phosphazene compound to interact with protonated hydrogen, while the phosphorus atom interacts with the highly electronegative fluorine atom. This enables the adsorption of HF generated at high temperatures by difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate, significantly reducing the concentration of HF in the electrolyte. This reduces the corrosion of the bonding components by high-concentration HF, thereby reducing the decrease in the ion permeability of the bonding components and further reducing or even avoiding its adverse effects on the battery energy density. This ensures the stability of the bonding components and improves the high-temperature cycle stability of the battery.
[0089] In some embodiments, the phosphazene compound comprises one or more of the structures shown in Formulas I-1 to I-4 and II-1 to II-5: (Formula I-1) (Formula I-2) (Formula I-3) (Formula I-4) (Formula II-1) (Formula II-2) (Formula II-3) (Formula II-4) (Formula II-5); In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the phosphazene compound in the electrolyte is 0.1%-5% (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 3%, 4% or 5%).

Difluoroethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate in the electrolyte increase the interfacial impedance between the negative electrode and the electrolyte. Adding sulfur-containing compounds can form an SEI film containing sulfonyl groups (S(=O)2) on the surface of the negative electrode. The sulfonyl groups (S(=O)2) have strong polarity and can preferentially coordinate with lithium ions, reducing the activation energy required for lithium ion desolvation, allowing lithium ions to participate in the negative electrode reaction more efficiently, reducing the interfacial impedance between the negative electrode and the electrolyte, improving lithium ion kinetics, and further enhancing the battery's rate performance and cycle performance.
[0092] In some embodiments, the sulfur-containing compound in the electrolyte accounts for 0.1%-5% by weight (e.g., 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 3%, 4% or 5%).

[0100] In some instances, the battery is a lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
