[0002] Currently, lithium-ion batteries occupy a core position in the power battery market. However, as their application in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage expands, lithium-ion batteries also face significant challenges, such as the increasing scarcity of lithium resources, rising prices of upstream materials, lagging development of recycling technologies, and low recycling rates of older batteries. Sodium-ion batteries, due to the abundant availability of sodium on Earth, are gaining attention. They utilize the intercalation and deintercalation of sodium ions between the positive and negative electrodes for charging and discharging. Furthermore, sodium resources are far more abundant and widely distributed than lithium, and their cost is significantly lower, giving them a crucial strategic position in cost-sensitive applications such as energy storage. However, many issues regarding the application of sodium-ion batteries still remain to be resolved.

[0047] Electrodeless sodium batteries offer advantages such as high energy density and low cost. Specifically, an electrodeless sodium battery refers to a battery in which no negative electrode active material layer is actively placed on the negative electrode side during the manufacturing process of the battery cell. For example, no negative electrode active material layer is added to the surface of the negative electrode current collector through coating or deposition processes during the manufacturing of the battery cell. During battery charging, sodium ions in the positive electrode active material layer migrate to the surface of the negative electrode current collector and deposit to form a sodium metal layer. During battery discharge, the metallic sodium in the sodium metal layer can be converted into sodium ions and re-intercalated into the positive electrode, thus achieving cyclic charging and discharging. Compared to other sodium batteries, electrodeless sodium batteries have higher energy density due to the absence of a pre-placed negative electrode active material layer. However, when an electrodeless sodium battery is charged, the surface of the negative electrode current collector contains highly chemically reactive sodium metal. The sodium metal reacts with the electrolyte to produce a large amount of hydrogen gas, resulting in poor cycle performance and storage performance under charged conditions, and may even severely deteriorate battery safety performance.
[0048] Related technologies control the composition of the SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interface) on the sodium metal surface to block contact between the sodium metal and the electrolyte, thereby reducing the rate of side reactions between them. However, since anode-less sodium batteries undergo sodium metal layer deposition and stripping in each charge-discharge cycle, the SEI component formed on the sodium metal surface during the previous charge-discharge cycle cannot be fully utilized in the next cycle. Conversely, the formation of some new SEI on the sodium metal surface in each cycle consumes active sodium ions, as well as solvents and additives in the electrolyte, inevitably leading to a deterioration in battery cycle performance. Furthermore, the venting valve design increases battery cost and does not fundamentally solve the cell gas expansion problem.
[0049] In this application, a high-temperature gas production test was first conducted on the electrolyte. The test results showed that the electrolyte produced virtually no gas when stored alone at high temperatures, eliminating the possibility of gas production caused by the decomposition of the electrolyte itself at high temperatures. Secondly, only the solvent molecules in the electrolyte contained hydrogen, indicating that the gas production originated from a side reaction between the solvent and sodium metal. Finally, by comparing the correspondence between the solvent consumption and the gas production volume in the battery cell, a near 1:1 linear relationship was found, meaning that every 1 mol of solvent consumed corresponds to the production of 1 mol of H2. Based on the above investigation, it is shown that the hydrogen production problem in a negative electrode-less sodium battery mainly stems from the chemical reaction between sodium metal and the electrolyte solvent. Therefore, the electrolyte formulation is optimized in this application, and compounds as shown in Formula 1 and / or Formula 2 are used as electrolyte solvents for negative electrode-free sodium batteries. By controlling the number of active hydrogen atoms in the solvent that react with sodium metal at high temperature to produce gas, the side reaction activity between the solvent and sodium metal in the electrolyte is effectively reduced, and the side reaction between the electrolyte and sodium metal is significantly reduced, thereby reducing the generation of hydrogen gas and improving the poor gas expansion of battery cells.
[0050] In a first aspect of this application, a battery cell is provided, comprising: a negative electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet including a negative current collector; and an electrolyte comprising: a sodium salt and an inert solvent, wherein the inert solvent comprises at least one compound shown in Formula 1 and / or Formula 2.
[0051] Where a is 1, 2, 3 or 4;
[0052] Where b is 1 or 2, n1 and n2 are 1, 2 or 3 independently, and n1 and n2 are not both 1.
[0053] By designing the solvent molecule structure, methyl groups are used to partially or completely replace the active hydrogen atoms in the solvent molecule that react with sodium metal. As a result, when the compounds shown in Formula 1 and / or Formula 2 are used as the solvent for the electrolyte, the number of active hydrogen atoms in the solvent that will react with sodium metal to produce gas at high temperatures is reduced. This can effectively suppress the side reactions between the electrolyte solvent and sodium metal, thereby alleviating the gas generation problem of the battery cell during use and storage, and improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell.
[0054] As an example, taking ethylene glycol dimethyl ether as the electrolyte solvent, a sodium-ion battery without a negative electrode was assembled. Gas production tests at 60°C revealed that this solvent reacts with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas. Ethylene glycol dimethyl ether contains hydrogen in two chemical environments: ① terminal methyl hydrogen, and ② ethylidene hydrogen between oxygen and oxygen. By methylating hydrogen in different chemical environments (e.g., by methylating ethylene glycol dimethyl ether with iodomethane under the action of a catalyst such as aluminum trichloride), two solvent molecules, ethylene glycol di-tert-butyl ether (TBE) and neohexylene glycol dimethyl ether (1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1,2-dimethoxyethane, PDE), were obtained. Using these two solvent molecules as electrolyte solvents and assembling them using the same process, a sodium-ion battery without a negative electrode was obtained. Gas production tests at 60°C showed that TBE did not react with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas, while PDE did react with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas. Therefore, active hydrogen can be defined as the hydrogen atom on an alkyl group directly attached to O.
[0055] As an example, the 60℃ storage gas generation test can be performed using the following method: The battery is placed in a 60℃ constant temperature chamber for formation treatment and storage testing. The formation steps are as follows: charge at a constant current rate of 0.1C to 3.6V, then discharge at a constant current rate of 0.1C to 1.5V. Subsequently, the storage gas generation test is performed as follows: charge at a constant current rate of 1C to 3.6V, then place in a 60℃ constant temperature chamber. Record the gas generation amount every 6 days. The change in the gas generation amount can reflect the gas generation situation inside the battery cell.
[0056] In some embodiments, the hydrogen atoms on the alkyl groups directly connected to O in the compound shown in Formula 1 are all replaced by methyl groups. Therefore, the compound produces less active hydrogen gas when reacting with sodium metal at high temperatures, which can effectively improve the high-temperature storage performance and cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0057] In some embodiments, the hydrogen atoms on the alkyl group directly attached to O in the compound of Formula 2 are partially replaced by methyl groups, thereby improving the high-temperature storage performance and cycle performance of the battery cell. At the same time, because some active hydrogen atoms are still retained, the compound has high solubility for sodium salts, which helps to fully dissolve the sodium salts.
[0058] As an example, when b is 1, the compound shown in Equation 2 is as follows:
[0059]
[0060] n1 and n2 are independently 1, 2 or 3, and n1 and n2 are not both 1 at the same time.
[0061] As an example, when b is 2, the compound represented by Equation 2 is as follows.
[0062] n1 and n2 are independently 1, 2 or 3, and n1 and n2 are not both 1 at the same time.
[0063] In some embodiments, the inert solvent may include at least one of ethylene glycol di-tert-butyl ether, diethylene glycol di-tert-butyl ether, triethylene glycol di-tert-butyl ether, tetraethylene glycol di-tert-butyl ether, ethylene glycol isopropyl tert-butyl ether, ethylene glycol diisopropyl ether, ethylene glycol isopropyl ethyl ether, diethylene glycol isopropyl tert-butyl ether, diethylene glycol diisopropyl ether, and diethylene glycol isopropyl ethyl ether. Therefore, by controlling the number of active hydrogen atoms in the solvent that react with sodium metal to produce gas at high temperatures, the occurrence of side reactions between sodium metal and the electrolyte can be effectively suppressed, improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell.
[0064] As an example, an inert solvent can be obtained by reacting ethylene glycol dimethyl ether with iodoalkane in the presence of a catalyst such as aluminum trichloride (methyl substitution).
[0065] In some embodiments, the inert solvent includes at least one of ethylene glycol di-tert-butyl ether and diethylene glycol di-tert-butyl ether. This further suppresses side reactions between sodium metal and the electrolyte.
[0066] In some embodiments, the sodium salt comprises at least one selected from sodium perchlorate, sodium tetrafluoroborate, sodium hexafluorophosphate, sodium hexafluoroarsenate, sodium trifluoroacetate, sodium tetraphenylborate, sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate, sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, and sodium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide. This improves the electrochemical window, suppresses side reactions, and promotes more uniform sodium metal deposition.
[0067] By using the aforementioned sodium salt as the electrolyte salt, it is helpful to achieve efficient deposition and stripping of the sodium metal layer on the surface of the negative electrode current collector during charging and discharging, which is suitable for sodium-free electrical systems.
[0068] In some embodiments, the inert solvent accounts for 7%-77% of the total mass of the electrolyte. Thus, the inert solvent can suppress side reactions between sodium metal and the electrolyte solvent.
[0069] As an example, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the inert solvent can be 7%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, or 77%.
[0070] In some embodiments, the inert solvent accounts for 10%-30% of the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0071] In some embodiments, the sodium salt accounts for 3%-40% of the total mass of the electrolyte. Therefore, the sodium salt can provide more active sodium ions, improving the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte.
[0072] As an example, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the sodium salt can be 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, 13%, 15%, 17%, 20%, 23%, 25%, 27%, 30%, 33%, 35%, 37%, or 40%.
[0073] In some embodiments, the sodium salt accounts for 5%-30% of the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0074] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further comprises a coordination solvent, which includes at least one selected from the following: ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, 1,3-dioxolane, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butene carbonate, vinylene carbonate, methyl ethyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dipropyl carbonate, methyl propyl carbonate, ethyl propyl carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, γ-butyrolactone, 1,3-propanesulfonate lactone, methyl propionate, methyl butyrate, ethyl acetate, ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, and dimethyl sulfoxide. This facilitates the complete dissolution of the sodium salt in the electrolyte and improves the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte.
[0075] The use of a coordination solvent helps the sodium salt to dissociate and dissolve in the electrolyte, so that the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte can meet the requirements.
[0076] In some embodiments, the coordination solvent includes at least one of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, and propylene glycol dimethyl ether.
[0077] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the coordination solvent is 20%-90% based on the total mass of the electrolyte. Therefore, by adjusting the amount of coordination solvent, the solubility of the sodium salt and the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte can be improved.
[0078] As an example, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the coordination solvent is 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, or 90%.
[0079] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the coordination solvent is 30%-80% based on the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0080] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further comprises ether additives, including C2-C7 fluoroalkyl ethers. This helps to form a structurally stable solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the negative electrode active material, improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0081] C2-C7 fluoroalkyl ether additives can undergo a weak chemical reaction with sodium metal to form an SEI film containing inorganic components such as NaF on the sodium metal surface. This helps to reduce the reactivity between the sodium metal deposited on the negative electrode and the electrolyte, thereby reducing the high-temperature gas generation of the battery cell.
[0082] In some embodiments, the C2-C7 fluoroalkyl ethers include 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl methyl ether, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl methyl ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, bis-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether, methyl nonafluorobutyl ether, bis-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl) ether, difluoromethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2(fluoromethoxy)propane, and 1,1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoro At least one of the following: propyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl difluoromethyl ether, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-methoxypropane, 1,1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl ethyl ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ethyl ether, 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropyl methyl ether, ethyl perfluorobutyl ether, ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether, heptafluoropropyl-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether, 1,1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl difluoromethyl ether, and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ethyl ether.
[0083] In some embodiments, the ether additives account for 0.1%-4% of the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0084] As an example, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the ether additive can be 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, or 4%.
[0085] In some embodiments, the ether additives account for 0.5%-3% of the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0086] In some embodiments, the electrolyte has an ionic conductivity greater than or equal to 0.5 mS / cm. This facilitates the rapid movement of sodium ions in the electrolyte, thereby increasing the power density of the battery cell.
[0087] As an example, the conductivity of the electrolyte can be directly tested using methods known in the art. For instance, the electrolyte can be transferred to a centrifuge tube and placed at -30°C and atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa) for 30 minutes. The ionic conductivity of the electrolyte can then be tested using a Leici DDSJ-318 conductivity meter. Specifically, the conductivity electrode is washed with deionized water and rinsed with anhydrous ethanol to remove any residual water. After the electrode is dry, it is vertically inserted into the centrifuge tube containing the electrolyte to be tested, ensuring that the platinum electrode is submerged below the surface of the electrolyte. Once the instrument reading stabilizes, the result is recorded. The measurement is repeated three times, and the average value is taken.
[0088] [Negative electrode plate]
[0089] In some embodiments, the negative electrode may include a negative current collector, which may be a metal foil, a foamed metal, or a composite current collector. For example, as a metal foil, silver-treated aluminum or stainless steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, carbon electrodes, carbon, nickel, or titanium may be used. The foamed metal may be foamed nickel, foamed copper, foamed aluminum, foamed alloy, or foamed carbon, etc. The composite current collector may include a polymeric material substrate and a metal layer. The composite current collector can be formed by forming a metal material (copper, copper alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver, and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymeric material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polyethylene, etc.).
[0090] In some embodiments, in order to improve the performance of a single battery cell, the negative electrode sheet may include a negative current collector and a functional coating disposed on at least one side of the surface of the negative current collector. The functional coating may include a carbon material coating (carbon materials include single-walled conductive carbon nanotubes, multi-walled conductive carbon nanotubes, superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon nanofibers, soft carbon and hard carbon, etc.), a lithium-loving / sodium-loving metal composite coating, etc.

[0133] Preparation of the positive electrode sheet: The positive electrode active material Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7), the binder polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and the conductive agent conductive carbon black (Super-P) are mixed evenly in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) solvent at a mass ratio of 96:2:2 to prepare the positive electrode slurry. This slurry is then coated onto the surface of aluminum foil using an extrusion coating machine according to the required mass per unit area of the positive electrode active material, and dried. Finally, the coated electrode sheet is pressed using a cold press at a density of 2.5 g / cm³. 3 The positive electrode sheet is prepared by cold pressing after compaction.
[0134] Preparation of the negative electrode sheet: Single-walled carbon nanotubes were added to deionized water and stirred to form a uniform negative electrode slurry. The negative electrode slurry was coated onto a negative electrode current collector, dried, and cut to obtain a negative electrode sheet with a functional coating on the surface. The areal density of the functional coating was 25 g / m². 2 .
[0135] Preparation of the separator: A polyethylene film with a thickness of 9 μm was used as the separator.
[0136] Preparation of electrolyte: Sodium hexafluorophosphate, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and ethylene glycol di-tert-butyl ether were mixed evenly in a mass ratio of 2:9:9 in an argon atmosphere glove box (H2O<0.1ppm, O2<0.1ppm) to prepare the electrolyte.
[0137] Assembly of a single battery cell: The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are wound together to form an electrode assembly. The separator is placed between the positive and negative electrode to provide isolation. The tabs are welded on, and the electrode assembly is installed in an aluminum shell and baked at 80°C to remove water. Then, the electrolyte is injected and the shell is sealed. The battery cell is then subjected to a series of processes including settling, hot and cold pressing, formation, and shaping to obtain the single battery cell.

[0143]
[0144] The aforementioned battery cells were subjected to the following tests, and the test results are shown in Table 2:
[0145] (1) Room temperature cycle performance: At 25℃ and normal pressure (0.1MPa), the battery is charged at a constant current of 1C to a voltage of 3.6V, and then discharged at a constant current of 1C to a voltage of 1.5V. This constitutes one charge-discharge cycle. The initial discharge capacity is taken as 100%, and the charge-discharge cycle is repeated 2000 times. The test is then stopped, and the cycle capacity retention rate is recorded. The room temperature capacity retention rate is used as the indicator to evaluate the room temperature cycle performance of the battery.
[0146] (2) High-temperature storage gas generation test: The 60℃ storage gas generation test can be performed using the following test method: Place the battery in a 60℃ constant temperature chamber for formation treatment and storage test. The formation steps are as follows: charge to 3.6V with a constant current at a rate of 0.1C, then discharge to 1.5V with a constant current at a rate of 0.1C, and then perform the storage gas generation test. The test steps are as follows: charge to 3.6V with a constant current at a rate of 1C, and then place in a 60℃ constant temperature chamber. Record the gas generation amount once every 6 days.
