Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage device technology, and more particularly to the synthesis of a secondary battery electrolyte material, and even more particularly to a fluorosulfonyl imide salt and its preparation method, electrolyte and secondary battery. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the electric vehicle and large-scale energy storage markets, higher demands are being placed on the energy density, safety, cycle life, and cost of rechargeable batteries. As the core component of a battery, the performance of the cathode material is crucial. Currently, the most widely used commercial cathode materials mainly include lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and layered ternary materials. LFP dominates in fields with high safety requirements due to its excellent thermal stability, safety, and long cycle life; however, its relatively low operating voltage platform (approximately 3.2V) and limited theoretical energy density restrict further improvements in battery range. While ternary materials possess high energy density, their poor thermal stability, high cost, and dependence on strategic resources such as cobalt and nickel limit their large-scale application, especially in energy storage and fields with extremely stringent safety requirements.
[0003] To balance high safety and high energy density, lithium manganese iron phosphate (LiFePO4) has attracted widespread attention in the industry as an ideal upgrade solution. The general chemical formula of LiFePO4 is LiMn2. x Fe 1-x-y M y PO4 (0 < x < 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.1, M selected from at least one of Al, Mg, Zr, and Ti) is a solid solution of lithium iron phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate. It combines the advantages of both: on the one hand, it inherits the stable olivine crystal structure and excellent thermal safety of lithium iron phosphate; on the other hand, it introduces the high voltage plateau (approximately 4.1V) of lithium manganese phosphate, thereby increasing the average operating voltage of the material to 3.8~4.1V, resulting in a theoretical energy density that is approximately 15%-20% higher than that of lithium iron phosphate. Simultaneously, it uses abundant and lower-cost manganese as a raw material, reducing material costs.
[0004] Despite LiMn x Fe 1-x-y M y PO4 cathode materials possess advantages such as high energy density, good thermal stability, safety, reliability, and low cost. However, manganese readily dissolves in the electrolyte during cycling, and the inherent Jahn-Teller effect of manganese in manganese-based cathode materials affects their cycle performance. Furthermore, its near-insulator low conductivity and poor thermal stability also lead to unsatisfactory electrochemical performance. Therefore, providing a non-aqueous electrolyte that inhibits manganese ion dissolution and protects the cathode material, along with its secondary battery, remains a key technical challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the above problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a fluorosulfonyl imide salt, its preparation method, electrolyte, and secondary battery. The fluorosulfonyl imide salt can form a dense CEI film rich in organic sulfur compounds, which can suppress CEI rupture caused by volume changes during cycling and reduce metal ions in the electrolyte, thereby reducing continuous electrolyte decomposition and lithium loss. The CEI film can still maintain good stability under high temperature conditions and reduce interfacial impedance at high temperatures. It can be used as a high-performance electrolyte additive, especially suitable for secondary batteries made of lithium manganese iron phosphate. To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of the present invention provides a fluorosulfonyl imide salt. Its structural formula is shown in Formula I, wherein R is selected from O or S, M is selected from Li, Na, K, Cs, Mg, and m×n=4.
[0006] Formula I This fluorosulfonylimide salt possesses a unique structure with fluorosulfonylimide and polycarbonyl groups. During charge and discharge, it preferentially undergoes oxidation on the positive electrode surface, forming a dense CEI film rich in organic sulfur compounds. The presence of sulfur in this film enhances its flexibility and ionic conductivity, suppresses CEI film rupture due to volume changes during cycling, and reduces continuous electrolyte decomposition and lithium loss. Under high voltage conditions, the CEI film with polycarbonyl structures effectively complexes dissolved metal ions, reducing the metal ion content in the electrolyte. This reduces side reactions catalyzed by metal ions and decreases battery gas production, thereby improving cycle performance. Furthermore, the superior performance of the CEI film effectively prevents direct contact between the electrolyte solvent and the highly active positive electrode material, maintaining good stability at high temperatures and reducing interfacial impedance. Fluorosulfonylimide salt can be used as a high-performance electrolyte additive, particularly suitable for secondary batteries using lithium manganese iron phosphate materials. As a technical solution of the present invention, at least one of compounds one to six is selected.

The mixed solutions were sealed and packaged, then frozen in a freezer (-4°C) for 2 hours. After removal, lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) was slowly added to the mixed solutions in a nitrogen-filled glove box (O2 < 1 ppm, H2O < 1 ppm). After thorough mixing, non-aqueous electrolytes 1-6# were prepared.
[0052] In a nitrogen-filled glove box (O2 < 1 ppm, H2O < 1 ppm), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethyl acetate (EA), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were mixed thoroughly in a mass ratio of 3:1:2:2 to obtain a mixed solvent, which was then used as the organic solvent. The organic solvent was sealed and packaged, then frozen in a freezer (-4℃) for 2 hours. After removal, lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) was slowly added to the mixed solution in a nitrogen-filled glove box (O2 < 1 ppm, H2O < 1 ppm), and mixed thoroughly to prepare non-aqueous electrolyte #7.
[0053] 1.2 Preparation of the positive electrode sheet LiMn manganese iron phosphate material 0.5 Fe 0.5 PO4, PVDF binder, and Super P conductive agent are mixed evenly at a mass ratio of 95:1:4 to prepare a lithium secondary battery positive electrode slurry with a certain viscosity. The mixed slurry is coated on both sides of aluminum foil, dried, and rolled to obtain the positive electrode sheet.
[0054] 1.3 Preparation of negative electrode sheet Artificial graphite, conductive agent SuperP, thickener CMC, and binder SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber latex) are mixed in a mass ratio of 95:1.5:1.0:2.5 to form a slurry. The mixture is then coated on both sides of a copper foil, dried, and rolled to obtain a negative electrode sheet, thus producing a secondary battery negative electrode sheet that meets the requirements.
[0055] 1.4 Preparation of Secondary Batteries The positive electrode, negative electrode, and separator prepared according to the above process are stacked in sequence, and then layered as needed. After the tabs are welded, they are placed in the aluminum-plastic film of the battery outer packaging. The prepared electrolyte is injected into the dried bare cell, and vacuum sealing, standing, formation (0.05C constant current charging to 3.0V, then 0.1C constant current charging to 4.3V), capacity testing, and other processes are carried out in sequence to finally obtain 1Ah soft-pack lithium secondary batteries 1~7#.
[0056] Performance tests were conducted on secondary batteries #1 to #7. The test results are shown in Table 1. The test conditions are as follows.
[0057] (1) Room temperature cycling performance test Under normal temperature (25℃) conditions, the secondary battery is subjected to one 1.0C / 1.0C charge and discharge cycle (battery discharge capacity is recorded as C0), with an upper limit voltage of 4.1V; then subjected to 500 cycles of 1.0C / 1.0C charge and discharge (battery discharge capacity is C1), and the capacity retention rate is calculated.
[0058] Capacity retention rate = (C1 / C0) × 100% (2) Room temperature cycling performance test Under high temperature (45℃) conditions, a lithium-ion battery is subjected to one 1.0C / 1.0C charge and discharge cycle (battery discharge capacity is C0), with an upper limit voltage of 4.1V. Then, it is subjected to 400 cycles of 1.0C / 1.0C charge and discharge at room temperature (battery discharge capacity is C1). The capacity retention rate is calculated.
[0059] Capacity retention rate = (C1 / C0) × 100% (3) Safety performance test At room temperature (25℃), the battery is charged at a constant current of 1C until the charging termination voltage (7V) is reached. Then, it is switched to constant voltage charging until the charging current rate drops to 0.05C. Charging is then stopped, and the battery is allowed to stand for 2.5 hours. The battery is then placed in a test chamber, which is heated at a rate of 5℃ / min. Once the temperature inside the chamber reaches 130±2℃, it is held at this temperature for 1 hour. The battery passes if it does not smoke, catch fire, or explode; otherwise, it fails.
[0060] Table 1 Electrochemical performance test results of secondary batteries #1-#7
[0061] The results in Table 1 show that adding fluorosulfonyl imide salt with the structural formula shown in Formula I to the electrolyte can improve the battery's cycle life, high-temperature performance, and safety. Comparing secondary batteries #1 to #6, it is evident that Compound I exhibits superior performance. This is because Compound I is a multi-carbonyl lithium salt. On one hand, the oxygen atoms on the carbonyl groups can effectively complex transition metal ions in the positive electrode material, preventing the dissolution of these ions from damaging the SEI of the negative electrode, thereby improving the battery's cycle performance. On the other hand, the anions of Compound I can be oxidized at the positive electrode to form a CEI film containing Li3N and LiSO3F components. This CEI film is more structurally stable and has stronger oxidation resistance than ordinary CEI films, preventing continuous side reactions at the electrolyte-electrode interface and improving the stability of the electrolyte-electrode interface, thus enhancing the battery's cycle performance and safety. Compound 2 exhibits inferior cycle performance compared to Compound 1, possibly because its anion contains a sulfur atom with a covalent radius of 94 pm, which is 42% larger than the covalent radius of oxygen (66 pm). This significantly reduces the ability of the polycarbonyl group to complex transition metal ions. The main reason why Compounds 3, 4, 5, and 6 show inferior cycle performance compared to Compound 1 is likely that their cations do not contain lithium ions. Since the electrolyte system in the examples is a lithium salt system, the cations in Compounds 3 to 6 do not have a positive effect on battery performance. However, it can be predicted that Compound 3 will perform better in sodium-ion batteries.
