Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid-state battery technology and relates to a polyionic liquid gel electrolyte and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the diversification of application scenarios, the market has placed higher demands on the energy density and safety of lithium batteries. Traditional liquid electrolytes typically contain low-flash-point organic solvents, which are prone to thermal runaway under abuse or extreme conditions, posing a risk of violent combustion or even explosion. Inorganic solid-state electrolytes are considered to have significantly improved safety due to their inherent non-flammability, but achieving uniform and continuous solid-solid contact at the electrode / electrolyte interface is difficult under limited stacking pressure. Polymer electrolytes, on the other hand, are considered an important option for improving the electrode / electrolyte interface contact in solid-state batteries due to their mechanical toughness.
[0003] Traditional polymer electrolyte matrices, such as PEO (polyethylene oxide), suffer from insufficient high-temperature stability. In contrast, polyionic liquids composed of anions and cations combine the advantages of polymers (easy processing and good mechanical toughness) with the non-volatile and high-temperature resistance of ionic liquids. Polymer solid electrolytes, however, rely excessively on polymer chain segment movement to achieve Li... + Transport, therefore, typically suffers from low ionic conductivity at room temperature (< 10). -4 S cm -1 This makes it difficult to directly apply in lithium batteries. By introducing small liquid molecules to form a polymer gel electrolyte, it is possible to address the issue of Li... + By regulating the solvation structure, it is decoupled from the jumping transport between polymer chain segments, thereby achieving efficient and rapid ion migration.
[0004] Currently, researchers have proposed a wealth of design strategies and optimization routes in the field of polymer gel electrolytes. For example, CN121983660A discloses a high-cycle-stability in-situ cured gel polymer electrolyte, which includes an electrolyte, a main crosslinking agent N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, and a multi-arm crosslinking agent, achieving stable cycling of lithium-ion batteries for 500 cycles at 25°C and 1C. However, due to the abundance of crosslinking agents, the three-dimensional network structure formed by this gel electrolyte, while improving mechanical stability, can adversely affect the movement of polymer chain segments. Another example is CN121748514A, which discloses a wide-temperature-range gel polymer electrolyte, which includes ethylene carbonate, a eutectic agent, lithium difluorooxalate borate, and a polymer gelling agent, achieving 7×10⁻⁶ cycles. -4 S / cm ~ 9×10 -2It boasts a room-temperature ionic conductivity of S / cm and an operating temperature range of -50 to 190°C, but the 10-80% carbonate-based organic solvents it contains make it difficult to meet the thermal weight loss requirements of all-solid-state battery standards. For example, CN120657242A discloses a flame-retardant, high-ionic-conductivity gel electrolyte containing organic solvents, lithium salts, additives, monomers, crosslinking agents, initiators, and reactive flame retardants. It combines high ionic conductivity, mechanical strength, and flame retardancy, but the unsaturated phosphorus compounds used as flame retardants suffer from insufficient electrochemical stability, easily undergoing reduction on the lithium metal anode side and potentially oxidizing and decomposing on the high-voltage cathode side.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a high-performance, intrinsically safe gel polymer electrolyte combined with a solidified cathode to prepare a high-performance solid-state lithium battery that can meet the thermogravimetric standards of all-solid-state batteries.

All other substances, amounts, and preparation methods are the same as in Example 1.
[0073] Comparative Example 3 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the solidified cathode preparation step is not included, and when preparing the solidified lithium battery, the solidified cathode in step (1) is replaced with a porous lithium cobalt oxide cathode (i.e., the cathode sheet is not subjected to solidification treatment of organic-inorganic composite electrolyte).

[0076] The thermal weight loss rate of the solid-state lithium batteries provided in the embodiments and comparative examples of the present invention was tested using the following methods: (1) Pretreatment: Before the formal test begins, the individual battery cells need to undergo a pretreatment cycle to ensure that the experimental subject is in an activated and stable state, and the experimental subject is fully discharged. Refer to the "All-Solid-State Battery Judgment Method" (T / CSAE 434-2025) for the following steps: A) Charge the battery cell at a constant current of not less than I3 as specified by the manufacturer until the cell reaches the charging termination voltage specified in the manufacturer's technical conditions, then switch to constant voltage charging. Stop charging when the charging current drops to 0.05I1, and let it rest for 1 hour after charging. Wherein, I3 and I1 refer to the current corresponding to 1 / 3C and 1C multipliers, respectively.
[0077] B) Discharge to the manufacturer's specified discharge cutoff condition using a current of not less than I3, and measure the discharge capacity (in Ah).
[0078] C) Let it sit for 30 minutes.
[0079] D) Repeat the above steps 3 times. The discharge capacity of each of the 3 discharges should not be less than the rated capacity and should not exceed 10% of the rated capacity.
[0080] (2) Drying test: A) Make a hole in the experimental subject (i.e., the solid-state lithium battery), and break the soft pack at the side seal (the break length should be no less than 2 cm ± 0.5 cm). The exposure time after breaking should not exceed 5 min.
[0081] B) Record the mass of the experimental subject, denoted as M0.
[0082] C) Place the experimental object in a vacuum drying oven at 120℃ for 6 hours. Vacuum treatment is performed every half hour during the test, and the vacuum is maintained for no less than 10 minutes. The vacuum degree is between -0.095 and -0.1 MPa.
[0083] After the test is completed, the vacuum drying oven is cooled to below 50°C, and the test subject is removed.
[0084] D) Record the mass of the experimental subject, denoted as M1.
[0085] (3) Data processing: The formula for calculating the battery weight loss rate η is as follows: η=(M0-M1) / M0×100% Where M0 is the initial mass of the experimental object and M1 is the final mass of the experimental object.
[0086] The performance test results are shown in Table 1.
[0087] Table 1 As can be seen from Table 1, the solid-state lithium batteries prepared in Examples 1-7, Comparative Examples 1, 3 and 4 of the present invention can all meet the standard of less than 1% thermal weight loss of all-solid-state batteries.
[0088] Comparative Example 2, due to the use of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME) with a lower boiling point instead of the ionic liquid plasticizer N-propyl-N-methylpyrrolidine bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide salt, achieved a thermal weight loss rate of 46.13% after being placed under negative pressure at 120°C for 6 hours, which does not meet the standard of less than 1% thermal weight loss for all-solid-state batteries.
[0089] Comparative Example 5 used vinylene carbonate, which has poor thermal stability, instead of N. + The cationic-centered polyionic liquid monomer exhibited a thermal weight loss of 29.36% after being placed under negative pressure at 120°C for 6 hours, which does not meet the standard of less than 1% thermal weight loss for all-solid-state batteries. Cycle stability tests were conducted on the solid-state lithium batteries provided in the embodiments and comparative examples of this invention. The test methods are as follows: A stacking pressure of 5 MPa is applied to the solid-state lithium battery using a fixture, and then it is transferred to Neware's constant temperature (30°C) battery test cabinet. After being left for 6 hours, the discharge specific capacity of the battery at 0.1C is tested using a constant current charge-discharge test method. After 200 cycles, the total capacity retention rate can be calculated, thus reflecting its cycle stability.
[0090] The performance test results are shown in Table 2.
[0091] Table 2 As can be seen from Table 2, the solid-state lithium batteries provided in the embodiments of the present invention all have good cycle stability.
[0092] Compared with Example 1, the cycle stability of the solid-state lithium batteries provided by Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 was significantly reduced.
[0093] Compared with Example 1, although the thermal weight loss rate of Comparative Example 4 meets the requirements and the capacity retention rate only decreases slightly, it does not contain a polyionic liquid matrix and is a liquid electrolyte, which does not meet the requirement of "the tested sample must pass the visual inspection of the broken opening and show no liquid leakage" in the "All-Solid-State Battery Judgment Method" (T / CSAE 434-2025). Therefore, it cannot be judged as a solid-state lithium battery.
