Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sodium-ion battery technology, specifically relating to an ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolyte, an ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Sodium-ion batteries, with their advantages of abundant sodium resources, low cost, and environmental friendliness, have shown significant potential in the field of energy storage and have become an important supplement and alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Especially against the backdrop of the global carbon neutrality strategy, the rapid development of large-scale energy storage technologies has placed higher demands on the sustainability and economic viability of battery materials.
[0003] Compared to lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries exhibit unique advantages in low-temperature environments. Sodium ions have a smaller Stokes radius, meaning they have faster migration capabilities and higher potential ionic conductivity in the electrolyte. This characteristic makes sodium-ion batteries stand out in low-temperature and fast-charging applications, opening up possibilities for energy applications in extremely cold regions and special environments. However, traditional sodium-ion batteries still face significant challenges in ultra-low temperature environments (≤-40℃), including decreased ionic conductivity and difficulties in desolvation at the electrode-electrolyte interface, severely limiting their application performance in extreme environments.
[0004] The development of ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery technology will greatly expand its application range in special environments, mainly including the following fields: polar scientific research and exploration equipment, aerospace, cold-region transportation, power grid energy storage and communication base stations, and deep-sea and deep-earth exploration. All of these require sodium-ion batteries to achieve stable charging and discharging at extremely low temperatures.
[0005] Currently, solvents used in sodium-ion battery electrolytes mainly include carbonates, ethers, sulfates, and carboxylic acids. Carbonate electrolytes are ideal for room-temperature and high-temperature batteries due to their good chemical stability; however, under low-temperature conditions (≤-20℃), Na... + The desolvation process becomes extremely difficult, leading to a sharp decline in battery capacity. Carboxylic acid esters and sulfate esters, with their low melting points, show some application potential at low temperatures, but their poor electrochemical stability and safety limit their further application. Existing ether-based electrolytes solidify below -40°C and still face difficulties in desolvation. Therefore, achieving optimal performance of sodium-ion batteries in ultra-low temperature environments (-40 to -80°C) remains a challenge.
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, it is essential to develop a novel ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolyte system and an ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery to expand the application of ion batteries in extreme environments. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolyte, an ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery, and its application, which can improve the bulk ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, reduce the desolvation energy of the electrolyte at low temperatures, and improve the electrochemical performance of the sodium-ion battery in an ultra-low temperature environment.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: According to a first aspect of the present invention, an ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolyte is provided, which is composed of an organic solvent and a sodium salt; wherein the organic solvent is a monodentate cyclic ether solvent.
[0009] Monodentate ring ether solvents possess low melting points and low viscosity, along with moderate dielectric constants and electron donor numbers, exhibiting excellent ion transport performance at low temperatures. Furthermore, their oxidative stability deficiencies can be compensated for by using sodium salt-derived inorganic-rich interfacial phases. Therefore, using monodentate ring ether solvents in combination with sodium salts to prepare electrolytes helps lower the freezing point of the electrolyte at low temperatures, increases the bulk ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, and thus improves the electrochemical performance of sodium-ion batteries at low temperatures.
[0010] It should be noted that ultra-low temperature sodium-ion electrolyte refers to a sodium-ion battery electrolyte system that can maintain ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability at temperatures below -40°C. This electrolyte is a component that enables sodium-ion batteries to achieve low-temperature charge and discharge.
[0011] In the aforementioned ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolyte, the organic solvent is a monodentate ring ether solvent with a high lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level, exhibiting excellent reduction stability on the negative electrode surface. Furthermore, the solvation structure formed at low temperature has moderate strength, preventing it from agglomerating into aggregates or forming an ordered hydrogen bond network that would cause the electrolyte to solidify.
[0012] Furthermore, the organic solvent is at least one selected from tetrahydrofuran (THF), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF), 3-methyltetrahydrofuran (3-MTHF), tetrahydropyran (THP), 2-methyltetrahydropyran (2-MTHP), 3-methyltetrahydropyran (3-MTHP), 2-cyanotetrahydrofuran (2-NTHF), 3-cyanotetrahydrofuran (3-NTHF), 2-aminotetrahydrofuran (2-ATHF), and 3-aminotetrahydrofuran (3-ATHF).
[0013] Organic solvents used to prepare ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolytes contain methyl, cyano, or amino groups. Their substitution effect helps to control the solvation configuration of the electrolyte at low temperatures, making it insensitive to temperature changes. This has led to the successful construction of a separation-contact ion pair configuration with rapid kinetics at low temperatures in ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolytes, enabling the production of Na+ at low temperatures. + The difficulty of the desolvation process is greatly reduced.
[0014] Furthermore, the organic solvent is 3-methyltetrahydrofuran; the sodium-ion battery prepared using the ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolyte can be charged at temperatures below -40°C, and the soft-pack battery prepared using the ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolyte has a discharge capacity at -60°C that exceeds 70% of that at 25°C.
[0015] Furthermore, the concentration of the sodium salt is 0.2 mol / L to 1.0 mol / L.
[0016] By controlling the sodium salt concentration within the range of 0.2 mol / L to 1.0 mol / L, the problems of limited ion transport and poor stability of sodium-ion battery electrolytes under ultra-low temperature conditions can be effectively solved. This ensures that there are a sufficient number of sodium ions in the electrolyte as charge carriers, thereby guaranteeing good ionic conductivity, reducing the internal resistance of the battery, and avoiding the sharp increase in electrolyte viscosity and sodium salt precipitation caused by excessive sodium salt concentration. This maintains the rapid migration ability of sodium ions and the long-term stability of the electrolyte.
[0017] Furthermore, the sodium salt is at least one of sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF6), sodium difluorosulfonyl imide (NaFSI), sodium difluorooxalate borate (NaDFOB), and sodium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (NaTFSI).
[0018] Choosing sodium salts such as NaPF6, NaFSI, NaDFOB, or NaTFSI provides excellent solubility and dissociation in monodentate ring ether solvents, ensuring that the electrolyte still provides sufficient sodium ions with high migration rates even at ultra-low temperatures. Furthermore, these sodium salts help form a stable and dense solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the electrode surface, effectively suppressing the continuous decomposition of the electrolyte and side reactions of the electrode, thereby significantly improving the electrochemical stability and cycle life of the battery.
[0019] Based on the good fluidity and solvation ability of monodentate ring ether solvents at low temperatures, their combination with the aforementioned sodium salts can synergistically optimize the ion conduction path and interfacial stability of the electrolyte, ultimately enabling ultra-low temperature sodium-ion batteries to still exhibit excellent charge-discharge performance and long-term stability under harsh low-temperature conditions.
[0020] According to a second aspect of the present invention, an ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery is provided, comprising any of the above-described ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolytes.
[0021] The ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolyte, formulated with a low-melting-point, low-viscosity monodentate ring ether solvent, is suitable for sodium-ion batteries operating under extreme low-temperature conditions. The resulting ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery can operate normally in low-temperature environments below -40℃, ensuring application performance under extreme conditions.
[0022] Furthermore, the negative electrode of the ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery is hard carbon or metallic sodium, and the positive electrode is a layered oxide, Prussian blue compound, or polyanionic compound.
[0023] According to a third aspect of the present invention, the application of the above-described ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery in a transport vehicle is provided.
[0024] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the above-described ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery is provided for energy storage in cold regions. The "cold region" referred to in this invention is a region where the average temperature of the coldest month is -10°C to 0°C, and the number of days with an average daily temperature ≤5°C is 90 to 145 days.
[0025] According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the application of the above-described ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery in polar scientific research and exploration equipment is provided.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention uses low-melting-point / low-viscosity monodentate cyclic ethers and their derivatives as solvents for ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolytes, thereby reducing the freezing point of the electrolyte at low temperatures and improving the bulk ionic conductivity of the electrolyte.
[0027] 2. In the ultra-low temperature sodium-ion battery electrolyte provided by the present invention, the organic solvent used can regulate the solvation configuration of the electrolyte at low temperature through the substitution effect of methyl / cyano / amino groups, making it insensitive to temperature changes. This successfully constructs a separation-contact ion pair configuration with rapid kinetic properties at low temperature, and reduces the desolvation energy at low temperature.
