Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, specifically to an electrolyte, a battery, a battery pack, and an electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are being developed towards higher energy densities to meet the extended battery life requirements of electronic devices. High-nickel NCM (LiNi) batteries are a prime example. x Co y Mn 1-x-y (x≥0.8) with up to 200 mA hg -1 The specific capacity of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) has been widely used. However, with the increase of nickel content, its cycle stability and thermal stability decrease significantly. To balance performance and safety, lithium iron phosphate is blended with ternary materials to compensate for the shortcomings of single cathode materials. The cathode system obtained by co-blending lithium iron phosphate with ternary materials (LMFP-NCM) can maintain high voltage (4.4V) and high volumetric energy density (495-628Wh / L) while also having advantages such as low cost, high safety, and long cycle life.

[0003] However, under high-voltage charging conditions, high-nickel ternary cathode materials undergo deep delithiation, resulting in highly oxidized Ni. 4+ Tends to be reduced to Ni 3+ To maintain charge balance, oxygen in the crystal lattice is forced to be released, thereby forming superoxide radicals (O2), which have strong oxidizing properties. - This free radical not only exacerbates the structural degradation of the cathode material but also undergoes violent side reactions with cyclic carbonate solvents (such as EC) in the electrolyte, producing gases such as O2, CO, and CO2 and releasing heat. Particularly dangerous is that the oxygen generated further accelerates the decomposition and oxidation of the electrolyte. The generated gases accumulate on the electrode surface, forming an insulating layer that hinders the normal transport of lithium ions. This not only significantly increases the battery's internal resistance but also continuously consumes active lithium and electrolyte due to the side reactions, ultimately leading to rapid capacity decay and shortened cycle life. Even more dangerous is that gas accumulation increases the internal pressure of the battery, causing battery bulging (especially in pouch cells), and even leading to structural deformation or seal failure. In extreme cases, these flammable gases (such as H2, CO, CH4) may participate in and exacerbate a chain of exothermic reactions inside the battery at high temperatures, significantly increasing the risk of thermal runaway (smoke, fire, explosion), seriously threatening safety. Furthermore, some side reactions may also generate toxic gases such as hydrogen fluoride (HF), which, if leaked, pose a threat to the environment and human health. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Ternary materials are widely used as cathode materials for electric vehicle batteries due to their high energy density. However, high-nickel ternary materials suffer from problems such as poor room temperature cycling performance, increased DCIR (direct current resistance under specific load and discharge current) after cycling, severe gas generation after cycling, and poor safety performance. To solve the above problems of high-nickel ternary materials, current technical solutions mainly focus on the following three aspects: (1) Surface coating, such as spinel phase Li4Mn5O 12 (1) Physical barriers are constructed using anti-spinel Mg2TiO4, etc.; (2) Bulk doping, such as doping with B, Zr, Sn, etc., directly stabilizes lattice oxygen by enhancing metal-oxygen bonds or occupying oxygen coordination sites in the lattice, thereby reducing oxygen release; (3) Electrolyte functional additives, compared with the modification of the positive electrode surface by coating or doping to improve interface stability, directly introducing film-forming additives that can improve the oxidation stability of the electrolyte by modifying the electrode interface is a simpler and more efficient way.

[0041] Based on this, this application addresses the technical problem of superoxide emission catalyzing electrolyte solvent oxidation and gas generation in lithium manganese iron phosphate-ternary co-doped cathode (LMFP-NCM) batteries under high voltage conditions, leading to battery capacity decay and safety hazards. It provides an electrolyte containing a free radical scavenging additive. This electrolyte can improve its stability by scavenging superoxide free radicals and suppressing gas generation. It also exhibits good compatibility with lithium batteries, reducing gas generation during battery cycling and thus simultaneously improving the battery's overall electrochemical performance (such as cycle life) and safety performance.

[0042] In a first aspect of the application, this application proposes an electrolyte. According to an embodiment of this application, the electrolyte comprises: a first additive, the first additive comprising a fluorobenzene solution containing fullerene (FB-C) 60 (Solution); second additive, the second additive being a borate ester film-forming agent, the borate ester film-forming agent having the general structural formula B(OR)3, where R is an organic group.

[0043] This application significantly reduces battery cycle gas generation by introducing a first additive and a second additive into the electrolyte, thereby effectively improving battery cycle performance and extending cycle life. The first additive is FB-C. 60 In solution, this additive can act as an oxygen free radical scavenger, effectively suppressing gas generation during battery charging and discharging. The fluorobenzene FB component can simply and efficiently solve the problem of fullerene C… 60 Solubility issues in electrolytes, while controlling C 60 The concentration—too high a concentration will decrease its solubility, while too low a concentration will not meet the requirements for free radical scavenging. From the perspective of the mechanism of action, C 60The molecule possesses numerous conjugated π bonds. When a superoxide radical approaches, its conjugated system can accept unpaired electrons from the radical via electron transfer, transforming the superoxide radical into a relatively stable peroxide ion. Meanwhile, C... 60 It can achieve reversible oxidation on its own; and a single C 60 The molecule can react continuously with multiple superoxide radicals, exhibiting extremely high scavenging efficiency. The second additive is a borate ester film-forming agent. Due to the electron-deficient nature of boron atoms, this type of additive can capture and neutralize superoxide radicals (O2) released from the positive electrode. - Singlet oxygen () 1 Highly reactive oxygen species such as O2 are preferentially oxidized and decomposed on the positive electrode surface, forming a dense and stable cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) film. This effectively blocks direct contact between the positive electrode material and the electrolyte, thereby inhibiting electrolyte decomposition and gas generation. Furthermore, the combined use of fullerene and borate esters achieves a synergistic effect of "1+1>2": borate esters form the interfacial film, reducing the generation of reactive oxygen species at the source and blocking contact between the positive electrode and the electrolyte, thus mitigating electrolyte oxidative decomposition; fullerene, on the other hand, is responsible for scavenging the small amount of residual highly reactive superoxide radicals in the system. Together, they form a complete chain of protection: "inhibition of generation—residual removal." Simultaneously, borate esters improve the compatibility and dispersibility of fullerene in the electrolyte system, ensuring that fullerene fully exerts its free radical scavenging effect.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the mass percentage of fullerene in the fluorobenzene solution containing fullerene is 1-5%, based on the total mass of the solution. For example, it can be 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, or any range of the above values. Therefore, by keeping the mass percentage of fullerene within the above range, the solubility of fullerene in the electrolyte and its free radical scavenging efficiency can be balanced, ensuring its stable oxygen free radical capture function while guaranteeing the compatibility between the electrolyte and the battery system. If the mass percentage of fullerene is too high, it will exceed the solubilizing ability of the fluorobenzene component, making it difficult for fullerene to disperse uniformly in the electrolyte or even causing it to precipitate, thus failing to effectively scavenge superoxide free radicals. If the mass percentage of fullerene is too low, its effective concentration in the electrolyte is insufficient, the electron transfer ability of the conjugated π bond cannot be fully utilized, and the scavenging efficiency for superoxide free radicals will decrease significantly, failing to achieve the technical effect of suppressing gas generation during battery cycling.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the organic group includes C 1-10 Alkyl, C 1-10 Haloalkyl, C 1-10 Silyl, C 2-10The borate ester film-forming agent comprises at least one of alkenyl, polyethylene glycol residue, 3-7 membered cycloalkyl, 3-7 membered heterocycloalkyl, 3-7 membered aryl, and 3-7 membered heteroaryl. In some embodiments of this application, the borate ester film-forming agent includes at least one of tris(hexafluoroisopropyl) borate, tris(trimethylsilyl) borate, and polyethylene glycol borate (BPEs). Therefore, the above-mentioned borate ester film-forming agents, due to their electron-deficient boron atom structure, can efficiently capture and neutralize highly reactive oxygen species released by the positive electrode under high voltage, reducing the inducing factors of electrolyte oxidation and decomposition from the source and directly alleviating the problem of gas generation during battery cycling. Simultaneously, this type of film-forming agent can preferentially oxidize and decompose on the positive electrode surface to form a dense, stable CEI film with high ion conductivity, and exhibits good synergistic compatibility with fullerenes, perfectly meeting the application requirements of high-voltage systems in ternary mixed lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP-NCM) batteries.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the mass ratio of the first additive to the second additive is 1:(0.3~30). For example, it can be 1:0.3, 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:8, 1:10, 1:12, 1:15, 1:18, 1:20, 1:22, 1:25, 1:28, 1:30, or any range of the above values. Therefore, by ensuring the mass ratio of the first additive to the second additive is within the above range, it is possible to further ensure that both additives fully exert their synergistic effect in the electrolyte system, achieving full-chain protection of "inhibiting reactive oxygen species generation—removing residual free radicals," ensuring the compatibility of the electrolyte with the target battery system, and improving battery cycle life and safety without sacrificing core electrical performance.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the mass percentage of the first additive in the electrolyte is 0.1% to 5%. For example, it can be 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, etc., or it can be any range of the above values. Therefore, by limiting the mass percentage of the first additive in the electrolyte to the above range, its free radical scavenging efficiency and dispersibility in the electrolyte can be further improved, thereby suppressing gas generation during battery cycling, effectively improving the cycle performance of the battery, and further improving the cycle life and safety performance of the battery.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the second additive accounts for 1% to 38.5% of the mass of the electrolyte. For example, it can be 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 38.5%, or any range of the above values. Therefore, by limiting the mass percentage of the second additive in the electrolyte to the above range, it is possible to further ensure the formation of a thermally stable CEI film at the positive electrode-electrolyte interface, fully capture highly reactive oxygen species released from the positive electrode, improve the effect of suppressing electrolyte decomposition and gas production, effectively improve the cycle performance of the battery, and further improve the cycle life and safety performance of the battery.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the electrolyte further comprises a lithium salt, which serves to provide migratable Li during battery charging and discharging. + This supports the insertion / deintercalation cycle of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes, thereby realizing the mutual conversion of chemical energy and electrical energy. In the embodiments of this application, the specific type of lithium salt is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can select it according to actual needs. As some specific embodiments, the lithium salt includes at least one of inorganic lithium salts and organic lithium salts. Exemplarily, inorganic lithium salts include one or more of lithium perchlorate (LiClO4), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4), lithium hexafluoroarsenate (LiAsF6), and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6); exemplarily, organic lithium salts include one or more of lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB), lithium difluorooxalato)borate (LiDFOB), lithium bis(difluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI).

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the concentration of the lithium salt in the electrolyte is 1~4 mol / L. For example, it can be 1 mol / L, 1.5 mol / L, 2 mol / L, 2.5 mol / L, 3 mol / L, 3.5 mol / L, 4 mol / L, or any range of the above values. Therefore, by limiting the concentration of the lithium salt in the electrolyte within the above range, it is possible to further ensure the provision of a suitable amount of migratable lithium ions, further ensure that the ionic conductivity and viscosity of the electrolyte are within a reasonable range, and further improve the high and low temperature performance and power performance of the battery.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the electrolyte further includes an organic solvent, which is a major component of the electrolyte and should have high solubility of the electrolyte salt to ensure high ionic conductivity. The specific type is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs. As some preferred embodiments, the organic solvent includes carbonate solvents. Exemplarily, carbonate solvents include at least one of propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate (EC), fluoroethylene carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate, methyl acetate, and ethyl propionate. All of the above-mentioned carbonate solvents can provide strong dissociation capabilities, ensuring the concentration of sodium ions in the electrolyte. Preferably, at least one of propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate is preferred. More preferably, the organic solvent includes a mixture of ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the organic solvent accounts for 60-85% of the mass of the electrolyte. For example, it can be 60%, 62%, 65%, 68%, 70%, 72%, 75%, 78%, 80%, 82%, 85%, etc., or any range of the above values. Therefore, by limiting the mass percentage of the organic solvent in the electrolyte to the above range, the electrolyte can be further ensured to have excellent ionic conductivity, while guiding the formation of a moderately thick, dense, stable, and highly ionicly conductive SEI and CEI film on the electrode surface, further improving the high and low temperature performance and power performance of the battery.

Based on this ratio, by selectively adjusting the total mass ratio *c* of the composite additive, different nickel contents (*a* values) of LiMn can be achieved. x Fe 1-x PO4-LiNi a Co b Mn 1-a-b The adaptation of the O2 composite cathode system ensures that the battery maintains excellent cycle stability and safety performance under the full nickel content gradient.

[0104] The parameters of Examples 1-20 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are shown in Table 1.

[0105] Table 1

[0106] Test example: 1. Electrical performance testing: The experiment used the Wuhan Landian CT2001A battery testing system. The batteries assembled in Examples 1-22 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were placed in a 25℃ constant temperature chamber and allowed to stand for 8 hours before being tested for 1C / 1C charge-discharge cycle performance. The test voltage range was set to 2.4~4.2V (vs. Li+ / Li). The test results are shown in Table 2. The results show that: ① The trend of capacity retention is highly negatively correlated with gas production, meaning that batteries with lower gas production generally exhibit better long-cycle capacity retention. All examples with lower gas production showed significantly better capacity retention than the comparative examples. This indicates that the side reaction (gas production) effectively suppressed by the additives is one of the main causes of capacity decay. ② Optimizing the formulation improves cycle life: The capacity retention of the composite additive system (all examples) is generally better than that of the single additive system. The ratio of the two additives needs to be within a reasonable range to maintain a high capacity retention.

[0107] 2. Gas production test: Using the water displacement method, at room temperature (25℃), the batteries of the examples and comparative examples were completely immersed in deionized water before cycling and after 100, 300, and 500 cycles of 1C / 1C. The change in tension during suspension was measured using a precision balance, and the volume change was calculated according to the formula ΔV = (m1-m2) / ρ (where m1 and m2 are the mass readings corresponding to the tension before and after cycling, and ρ is the water density). This change was the amount of gas produced. Three measurements were taken, and the average value was used. The results are shown in Table 2. The test results show that: ① There is a synergistic effect between the two additives: Comparative Example 1, without any additives, had the highest gas production in all cycling cycles (e.g., 16.8 ml after 500 cycles); Comparative Examples 2-4, with only a single additive, had a lower gas production than Comparative Example 1, but it was still significantly higher than the examples using both additives (e.g., Example 1 had a gas production of only 5.3 ml after 500 cycles). This indicates that the combined use of the first and second additives has a synergistic effect of "1+1>2" in suppressing gas production. ② There is an optimal range for additive content and ratio: Additive ratio: When the total amount added is fixed, the ratio of the two additives needs to be coordinated. When the proportion of the first additive is too high or too low, the gas production will deteriorate.

[0108] To achieve both low gas production and high capacity retention simultaneously, a composite system consisting of a first additive and a second additive is required, with their total content and ratio controlled within an experimentally validated optimal window. No single additive or an unbalanced formulation can achieve the best synergistic protective effect. Table 2
