Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium supplementation additives, specifically a thermally activated stable lithium complex lithium supplementation additive, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, irreversible lithium loss caused by the formation of a solid electrolyte interface film during the first charge and discharge process has become a key factor in battery performance. Lithium replenishment technology is an effective means to solve this problem.
[0003] Currently, mainstream lithium supplementation additives include: lithium-rich compounds such as lithium oxide, lithium peroxide, and lithium nitride. These compounds are chemically reactive and readily react with air, moisture, or electrolyte at room temperature, leading to problems such as processing difficulties, poor storage stability, and battery gas generation; lithium metal powder, which also has high reactivity and safety risks; and other organic lithium salts such as lithium oxalate, which have high decomposition potentials and may not be able to effectively release lithium at the negative electrode potential.
[0004] In existing technologies, lithium replenishment additives generally suffer from a contradiction: highly reactive additives are unstable, while stable additives have decomposition potentials or conditions that are too harsh to effectively replenish lithium during normal battery formation. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a lithium replenishment additive that remains stable during battery preparation and storage, and can efficiently and controllably release active lithium under high-temperature and heated formation conditions. This invention proposes a thermally activated stable lithium complex lithium replenishment additive, its preparation method, and its application to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a thermally activated stable lithium complex lithium supplementation additive, its preparation method, and its application, in order to solve the problems raised in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A thermally activated stable lithium complex lithium supplement additive, whose general formula can be represented as Li⊕[L], where [L] is an organic ligand.
[0007] Furthermore, the organic ligand can form a stability constant (logK) with lithium ions in the range of 10. 4 ~10 10 Lithium complexes within the specified range are lithium supplementation additives.
[0008] Furthermore, the lithium complex lithium supplement additive has a decomposition rate of less than 5% within 30 days in lithium-ion battery electrolytes at temperatures below 40°C.
[0009] Furthermore, the lithium complex lithium supplement additive decomposes and releases more than 90% of the theoretical lithium capacity within 1 hour at a temperature of 50~80℃.
[0010] Furthermore, the organic ligand is any one or a combination of macrocyclic polyether compounds, organic acid anion compounds, and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds.
[0011] Furthermore, the macrocyclic polyether compound is either a crown ether or a crypt ether.
[0012] Furthermore, the crown ether is any one of 12-crown ether-4, 15-crown ether-5, 18-crown ether-6 and their derivatives.
[0013] Furthermore, the organic acid anionic compound is any one of polycarboxylate anions or β-diketone anions.
[0014] Furthermore, the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound is any one of o-phenanthroline, bipyridine, and their derivatives.
[0015] In the above technical solutions, macrocyclic polyether compounds chelate with lithium ions through multiple oxygen atoms to form a stable "cage-like" structure with matching size; organic acid anionic compounds, such as anions formed by the deprotonation of acetylacetone, dibenzoylmethane, and thiophenecarboxylic acid trifluoroacetone, can form stable six- or five-membered chelate rings with lithium ions; nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds can coordinate with lithium ions through nitrogen atoms; theoretical calculations show that the decomposition reaction energy barrier of this lithium complex lithium supplement additive is 80~120kJ. / mol, this energy barrier range ensures that the reaction is extremely slow (stable) at room temperature, while the reaction rate is significantly accelerated (activated) at temperatures of 60~80℃; introducing large-volume substituents (such as tert-butyl, phenyl, long-chain alkyl) into the ligand structure can further improve the kinetic stability of the complex through steric hindrance effect and slow down the dissociation rate of lithium ions; O and N atoms with moderate electronegativity are preferred as coordinating atoms, which can form coordinate bonds with lithium ions with moderate strength, ensuring both stability and breakage upon heating.
[0016] A method for preparing a thermally activated stable lithium complex lithium supplementation additive includes any one of solution precipitation, solid-phase grinding, or solvent evaporation.
[0017] Furthermore, the lithium complex lithium supplement additive is prepared by the following process: under an inert atmosphere, a lithium source and an organic ligand are reacted in an anhydrous organic solvent, and then filtered, washed, and vacuum dried to obtain the lithium complex lithium supplement additive.

[0023] Furthermore, in step S2, the concentration of the acetylacetone solution is 0.3~0.5 mmol / mL.
[0024] Furthermore, in step S3, the volume ratio of acetylacetone solution to lithium hydride suspension is (2~3):20.
[0025] Furthermore, the Li⊕[18-crown-6 complex] is prepared by the following process: Step 1: Add 18-crown ether-6 to anhydrous acetonitrile and stir until homogeneous to obtain a 18-crown ether-6 solution; Step 2: Slowly add the hexamethyldisilamide lithium hexane solution dropwise to the 18-crown ether-6 solution for 15-30 minutes. After the addition is complete, continue stirring at room temperature for 1.5-3 hours. Filter, collect the filter cake, wash, and vacuum dry to obtain Li⊕[18-crown ether-6 complex].
[0026] Furthermore, in step one, the concentration of the 18-crown ether-6 solution is 0.06~0.08 mmol / mL.
[0027] Furthermore, in step two, the volume ratio of the hexamethyldisilamide lithium hexane solution to the 18-crown ether-6 solution is 1:(12~18), and the concentration of the hexamethyldisilamide lithium hexane solution is 0.5~1.5 mol / L.
[0028] Furthermore, the 18-crown ether-6 can also be monooctyl-18-crown ether-6, obtained by the following process: Step 1: Add the dried 18-crown ether-6 to anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and stir until homogeneous to obtain a 18-crown ether-6 solution; Step 2: Add the 18-crown ether-6 solution to the n-butyllithium hexane solution, stir at room temperature for 30-40 min, then add 1-bromooctane, heat to reflux, and after the reaction is complete, cool to room temperature and purify to obtain monooctyl-18-crown ether-6.
[0029] Furthermore, in step 1, the specific drying process is as follows: vacuum drying at a temperature of 50~70℃ for 11~13 hours.
[0030] Furthermore, in step 1, the concentration of the 18-crown ether-6 solution is 0.08~0.1 g / mL.
[0031] Furthermore, in step 2, the ratio of 18-crown ether-6 solution, n-butyllithium hexane solution, and 1-bromooctane is (25~35) mL : (3~5) mL : (1.9~2.0) g.

[0035] Furthermore, the eluent used in the silica gel column purification process is petroleum ether and ethyl acetate, with a volume ratio of petroleum ether to ethyl acetate of (3~5):1.
[0036] In the above technical solution, the effluent is collected separately during the purification process. The polarity of modified 18-crown ether-6 is slightly greater than that of 18-crown ether-6, and it will be eluted afterward. By thin-layer chromatography monitoring, the target component modified 18-crown ether-6 is a colorless and transparent oily liquid.
[0037] Furthermore, the anhydrous tetrahydrofuran is prepared by the following process: adding tetrahydrofuran to an indicator and distilling to obtain anhydrous tetrahydrofuran; the indicator is a mixture of sodium metal and benzophenone, with a mass ratio of sodium metal to benzophenone of 1:(0.5~1).
[0038] In the above technical solution, benzophenone reacts with metallic sodium in an anhydrous environment to generate a dark blue benzophenone free radical anion. The solution exhibits a persistent and stable blue color, which is a sign that tetrahydrofuran has been completely dried. If water is present, the free radical will react with water and become colorless. In step 2, n-butyllithium removes a proton from the ortho-methylene group of an oxygen atom in 18-crown ether-6 to generate a monolithiated 18-crown ether-6 anion.

[0042] Furthermore, the conductive agent is conductive carbon black.
[0043] Furthermore, the adhesive is polyvinylidene fluoride.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The lithium complex lithium replenishment additive of the present invention is very stable in room temperature air and electrolyte environment, which greatly simplifies the electrode preparation process and storage conditions, and improves production safety and battery yield. The lithium replenishment process is precisely controlled by the external parameter of temperature, rather than the traditional potential control. This allows the lithium replenishment reaction to be "triggered" by a mild heating program in the formation stage after battery packaging, so as to achieve precise control of the timing and degree of lithium replenishment.
