Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of preparation of lithium ion battery electrolytes, and particularly relates to a synthesis device for lithium difluorooxalate borate. Background Art
[0002] Lithium difluorooxalate borate is mainly used as an additive for non-aqueous electrolyte batteries such as lithium ion batteries and lithium ion capacitors, and is applied to the field of lithium salt for lithium ion battery electrolytes. Combining the advantages of lithium bis(oxalato)borate and lithium tetrafluoroborate, it has good high and low temperature performance, high conductivity and good thermal stability. As a new type of lithium salt, it can be used as a film-forming additive in lithium ion battery electrolytes or replace lithium hexafluorophosphate as a conductive salt.
[0003] At present, the preparation methods of this additive mainly include the following: 1. Lithium tetrafluoroborate and anhydrous oxalic acid react under the action of an organic solvent and a reaction assistant silicon tetrachloride to produce a lithium difluorooxalate borate product. This method is prone to introducing new impurities, has a high residual chlorine ion content, and generates a large amount of strong acidic gas during the reaction, and the tail gas treatment is cumbersome. The raw material lithium tetrafluoroborate is expensive, resulting in high costs; 2. Lithium difluorooxalate borate and lithium tetrafluoroborate are produced by reacting lithium oxalate with boron trifluoride complex, and then the product is obtained through repeated recrystallization purification and separation. It is difficult to control the proportion of each raw material in this method as both lithium oxalate and boron trifluoride complex are solids; 3. A hydrogen fluoride solution of lithium fluoride reacts with boron trichloride and oxalic acid at a certain temperature to obtain a hydrogen fluoride solution containing lithium difluorooxalate borate and lithium tetrafluoroborate. After removing the solvent, a solid mixture of lithium difluorooxalate borate and lithium tetrafluoroborate is obtained, and then lithium difluorooxalate borate is obtained through separation and purification. It is difficult to control the proportion of each raw material used in this method, and there are risks in operating with hydrogen fluoride during the preparation process.
