Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of materials, in particular to a method for producing a battery based on an in-situ curing electrolyte and a battery.
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electronic products, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage, among other fields, due to their high energy density and good cycling performance. With the expansion of application areas, safety issues with lithium-ion batteries are gradually being revealed. The internal space of lithium-ion batteries contains a large amount of flammable electrolyte, which can easily lead to safety problems. Electrolyte hardening is considered an effective way to solve this problem, but due to complex processing and large interfacial impedance, solid electrolytes cannot be quickly mass-produced.
[0003] To solve the problem of lack of mass production, researchers have proposed an in-situ polyelectrolyte that is compatible with current production equipment while reducing interfacial impedance. For example, in Chinese patent application CN102903953A, a gel polymer and two acrylate monomers are dissolved in an electrolyte and injected into a battery. After curing, a cured electrolyte is formed. The monomers and polymer form a pig-cage-like structure to enclose the electrolyte, prevent its volatilization, and improve battery safety.In Chinese patent application CN108987791A, three monomers, namely a multifunctional acrylate, a monofunctional acrylate, and an amine acrylate, are added to an electrolyte and polymerized in situ, whereby a gel electrolyte with excellent electrical properties is obtained by regulating the ratio between the monomers.
[0004] Existing in-situ polymerization processes mostly utilize free radicals to initiate polymerization of acrylate monomers. The mechanism of free radical-initiated monomer polymerization is chain polymerization. The polymerization process releases a large amount of heat, the reaction activation energy is low, and the free radicals are prone to problems such as solvent transfer and double radical termination during the polymerization process. This leads to polydispersity in the molecular weight of the polymerization product and uneven polymer distribution, which can cause minor problems such as polymer oxidation and lithium precipitation in the negative electrode, thus affecting battery performance.
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, prepolymerization is often used in the prior art to make improvements.
[0006] From CN114069036A, a manufacturing process for a gel electrolyte is known, in which an acrylate monomer is mixed with an initiator, a crosslinker, and carbon oxide nanoparticles to obtain a mixture which is first subjected to a first polymerization (“prepolymerization”) and to which a crosslinking agent is subsequently added, the resulting mixture being injected into the battery and then subjected to a second polymerization (“gel reaction”) under vacuum to obtain a gel electrolyte and a lithium-ion battery, thereby solving the problem of uneven polymerization caused by non-uniform chemical environments in battery cells.
[0007] CN108847504A proposes that an acrylate monomer, a hydroxyl(carboxyl)-containing acrylate monomer, and an initiator are stirred, then subjected to prepolymerization, and cooled after completion of this prepolymerization to obtain a prepolymerized electrolyte with a viscosity of 100 to 2000 cps. A crosslinking agent and a catalyst are then added to the prepolymerized electrolyte. The resulting mixture is then injected into a battery cell and cured at high temperature to obtain a solid battery cell. This solves the problem of deterioration in electrical performance caused by the low conversion rate of conventional in-situ curing monomers.
[0008] Although the above-mentioned solutions, which increase the polymerization degree by pre-polymerizing monomers outside a battery cell and then injecting liquid, are adopted, a commercial battery cell is difficult to infiltrate with an electrolyte liquid due to its thick electrodes and micrometer-sized pores. Furthermore, to improve the fit of the wound core, a square-wound battery cell also uses a thermal compounding process, which further increases the infiltration difficulty. Commercial batteries generally require an electrolyte viscosity of less than 10 mPa·S to meet the requirements for complete infiltration. However, using a pre-polymerization solution generally increases the viscosity of a precursor liquid, resulting in poor infiltration and unable to meet production requirements.
[0009] Technical problems to be solved by the present invention include: 1. Problem of uneven polymerization: Currently, radical polymerization is mainly used for in-situ curing, in which the polymerization process releases a large amount of heat, the reaction activation energy is low, and the free radicals are prone to problems such as transfer to solvent and termination of double radicals during their polymerization process, resulting in low polymerization degree and easy oxidation and decomposition by the positive electrode with high nickel content. 2. The problem of uneven infiltration: The currently used method, which involves pre-polymerization followed by liquid injection, can improve uneven polymerization, but significantly increases the viscosity of the precursor liquid. This leads to uneven battery infiltration or excessively long infiltration times, which is not conducive to mass production and manufacturing.
[0010] In embodiments of the present invention, a method for producing a battery based on an in-situ curing electrolyte is proposed, the method comprising: 1) Adding a first component, a second component, and a third component to an electrolyte liquid, which is then subjected to uniform stirring, followed by adding a catalyst and an initiator, and further stirring to obtain an in-situ curing precursor liquid; wherein the first component comprises at least a first monomer, the first monomer containing a stepwise polymerization functional group and a chain polymerization functional group, with a stepwise polymerization functionality of 2; wherein the second component comprises at least a second monomer, the second monomer capable of copolymerizing with the first monomer;wherein the third component comprises at least a third monomer, the third monomer containing both a stepwise polymerization functional group and a chain polymerization functional group, with a stepwise polymerization functionality of 1; 2) Injecting the in-situ curing precursor liquid obtained in step 1) into the interior of a battery and allowing it to stand so that a pole piece and a separator are completely infiltrated; 3) Performing a first curing on a battery cell infiltrated in step 2) at a first temperature and then performing a second curing on the battery cell at a second temperature to obtain the battery based on an in-situ curing electrolyte.

[0032] Test method: 1. A rotational viscometer is used to test the viscosity of the electrolyte fluid, with the test temperature being 25 °C. 2. A stainless steel / Li button battery is assembled to perform an electrochemical window test on the electrolyte, with the test voltage range being OCV-5V and the scanning speed being 1mV / s. 3. A device from Wuhan Land Electronics Co., Ltd. is used to conduct a 0.5C charge and discharge test on a pouch cell, with the voltage range being between 2.75 V and 4.25 V, so that information about the capacity utilization and cycle of the pouch battery can be obtained. 4. After disassembling the battery, the homogeneity of the surface appearance of the pole piece is visually compared. 5. An AC impedance meter is used to test the internal resistance of the battery. Example 1 1) Preparation of an in-situ curing precursor fluid: Dihydroxypropyl acrylate, toluene diisocyanate, tetraethylene glycol, and acrylamide are added in a molar ratio of 1:2:0.5:0.5 with a total mass of 10 g to a commercially available electrolyte fluid with a mass of 90 g (EC / EMC / DMC=1 / 1 / 1 v / v / v, 5% wt / VC, 1M LiPF6) and then stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. After uniform stirring, 0.028 g of the catalyst "tin octoate" and 0.043 g of the initiator "1-cyano-1-methylethylazocarboxamide" are added. After further stirring for 30 minutes, the in-situ curing precursor fluid is obtained. The precursor fluid is subjected to a viscosity test at a temperature of 25 °C, stored for 24 hours at a temperature of 40 °C, and then subjected to another viscosity test. 2) 20 g of the in-situ curing precursor liquid obtained in step 1) are injected into the interior of the battery and left to stand for 24 hours at a temperature of 25 °C to allow the electrolyte liquid to completely infiltrate the pole pieces and separators. 3) The battery cell infiltrated in step 2) is left to stand for 24 hours at a temperature of 40°C and subjected to a first cure.

[0035] Compared to Example 1, the temperature during the first curing step in step 3) is set to 70 °C, while the temperature during the second curing step in step 3) is set to 100 °C. The remaining processes are the same as in Example 1. Example 5
[0036] Compared to Example 1, the temperature during the first curing in step 3) is set to 80 °C, while the temperature during the second curing in step 3) is set to 110 °C. The remaining processes are the same as in Example 1. Example 6

[0049] A commercially available electrolyte fluid (EC / EMC / DMC=1 / 1 / 1v / v / v, 5% wtVC, 1 M LiPF6)) is injected, which is then infiltrated for 24 hours at a temperature of 25 °C and then subjected to tests such as formation and capacity division. Comparison example 2
[0050] Comparative Example 2 differs from Working Example 1 in that the initiator in the precursor liquid in step 1 is replaced with azobisisoheptonitrile, and the catalyst tin octoate is not added. The remaining processes are the same as in Working Example 1. In Working Example 1, a stepwise polymerization is performed first, followed by a chain polymerization. In Comparative Example 2, a low-temperature initiator and no catalyst are used. This results in the stepwise polymerization process being delayed and the chain polymerization occurring prematurely. Thus, the chain polymerization begins before the stepwise polymerization is completed. Comparison example 3 1) Preparation of an in-situ curing precursor fluid: 2.94 g of dihydroxypropyl acrylate and 1.43 g of acrylamide are added to a commercially available electrolyte fluid with a mass of 90 g and then stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, 0.043 g of azobisisobutyronitrile is added, and stirring is continued for another 30 minutes. The resulting mixture is then stirred at 80 °C for 10 hours and subsequently subjected to a viscosity test. 2) After completion, 3.5 g of toluene diisocyanate, 2.13 g of tetraethylene glycol and 0.028 g of stannous octoate are added and then stirred for 5 hours to form an in-situ curing precursor liquid. 3) The in-situ curing precursor fluid obtained in step 2) is injected into the battery and subjected to infiltration for 24 hours at a temperature of 25 °C, followed by a reaction for 5 hours at a temperature of 70 °C. After curing is complete, a portion of the battery cell is disassembled to observe the homogeneity of the pole piece. 4) The battery cell, cured but not disassembled in step 3), is shaped and divided into different capacities. It is then subjected to a charge and discharge cycle test. For electrochemical window testing, the precursor fluid from step 1 is used to assemble the button battery. Curing is then performed according to steps 2 and 3. Afterward, an electrochemical window test is performed.
[0051] The biggest difference between Comparative Example 3 and Working Example 1 is that in step 1) of Comparative Example 3, high-temperature prepolymerization is carried out, that is, in Comparative Example 3, prepolymerization is carried out first and then liquid is injected. Comparison example 4 1) Preparation of an in-situ curing precursor fluid: 8 g of methyl methacrylate is added to a 90 g commercially available electrolyte fluid, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, 0.1 g of azobisisobutyronitrile is added, and stirring is continued for 30 minutes. The resulting mixture is then stirred at 80°C for 5 hours. Then, 2 g of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate is added as a crosslinking agent, followed by further stirring for 1 hour. A viscosity test is then conducted. 2) 20 g of the in-situ curing precursor liquid obtained in step 1) are injected into the interior of the battery and left to stand for 24 hours at a temperature of 25 °C to allow the electrolyte liquid to completely infiltrate the pole pieces and separators. 3) The battery cell infiltrated in step 2) is left to stand for 5 hours at a temperature of 80 °C and subjected to a second curing. After curing is complete, a portion of the battery cell is disassembled to observe the homogeneity of the pole piece. 4) The battery cell, cured but not disassembled in step 3), is shaped and divided into different capacities. It is then subjected to a charge and discharge cycle test. For electrochemical window testing, the precursor fluid from step 1 is used to assemble the button battery. Curing is then performed according to steps 2 and 3. Afterward, an electrochemical window test is performed.
[0052] The biggest difference between Comparative Example 4 and Working Example 1 is that Comparative Example 4 uses a conventional method of first pre-polymerizing free radicals and then injecting them into the battery for two-step crosslinking. Comparison example 5
[0053] The dihydroxypropyl acrylate in Example 1 is replaced with 2-acrylic acid 2-hydroxy-1,3-propylene-dioxy-2-hydroxy-3,1-propylene ester. The remaining procedures are the same as in Example 1. Comparison example 6
[0054] The dihydroxypropyl acrylate in Example 1 is replaced with N-trihydroxymethylmethacrylamide. The remaining procedures are the same as in Example 1.
[0055] The results of the above-described embodiments and comparative examples are summarized in the following Table 1. Discussion of the results: (1) From the comparison of Embodiment 1, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that Embodiment 1 uses the technical solution of the present invention, i.e., no prepolymerization is carried out, while Comparative Examples 3 and 4 prepolymerize outside a battery cell for 5 hours at a temperature of 80°C; that the viscosity of the in-situ curing precursor liquid measured at 25°C in Embodiment 1 is 5.5 mPa·S, while the viscosity of the precursor liquid measured under the same conditions in Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 is 235 mPa·S and 358 mPa, respectively. It can be seen that the interface state and the internal resistance of the battery in Embodiment 1 are significantly lower after infiltration.Due to the high viscosity of the precursor fluids in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the pole pieces and separators cannot be fully infiltrated after injection into the battery cell. It is observed that the infiltration state of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 contains bubbles and is heterogeneous, which further affects Comparative Examples 3 and 4, resulting in a reduction in the electrochemical window, an increase in the internal resistance of the battery, and a decrease in cycle performance. (2) From the comparison of the results of Embodiment 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that in Comparative Example 2, the formula is changed to perform free radical polymerization first and then polycondensation, and the electrochemical window of Comparative Example 2 is not as good as that of Embodiment 1, indicating that a higher degree of monomer reaction is realized in the solution used in Embodiment 1 of the present invention; similarly, Comparative Example 4 uses only free radical reaction, performing prepolymerization first and then crosslinking (the crosslinking agent is the second monomer), and due to the viscosity and conversion rate, the performance of Comparative Example 4 is not as good as that of Embodiment 1. (3) Comparing the results of Working Examples 1 to 5, it can be seen that as the first temperature increases, the internal resistance of the battery increases, the electrochemical window decreases, and the cycle performance also decreases. This is because if the first temperature is too high, the crosslinking reaction that should have occurred in the second step occurs prematurely, resulting in the viscosity of the electrolyte increasing too rapidly, the conversion rate of monomers decreasing, and the concomitant reduction of the electrolyte's resistance to high-pressure oxidation, which also affects the battery performance. If the second temperature is too high, the electrolyte fluid deteriorates, resulting in a decrease in the electrical performance. (4) Comparing Embodiment 1 with Embodiment 6, it can be seen that the internal resistance of the battery of Embodiment 6 is larger than that of Embodiment 1. In Embodiment 6, the dihydroxypropyl acrylate in the formula of the precursor liquid of step 1) in Embodiment 1 is replaced with N-hydroxymethylacrylamide, and the other procedures are the same as in Embodiment 1. When amides are selected as the first monomer (Embodiment 6), the internal resistance of the battery is relatively large. This may be because hydrogen bonds are present in the polymer after a reaction and the cohesion is too high, resulting in poor liquid absorption capacity. The first monomer is preferably hydroxyl-containing acrylates. (5) From the comparison of Embodiment 1 with Embodiment 7, it can be seen that the electrochemical window of Embodiment 7 is smaller than that of Embodiment 1. In Embodiment 7, the acrylamide in the formula of the precursor liquid of step 1) in Embodiment 1 is replaced with hydroxypropyl acrylate, and the other operations are the same as in Embodiment 1. From this, it can be concluded that when amides are selected as the third monomer (Embodiment 1), the electrochemical window is improved, and the oxidation resistance of the electrolyte can be improved by the appropriate introduction of amide monomers. (6) In Working Examples 8 to 10, a polymerization inhibitor is added based on Working Example 1. From Table 2, it can be seen that in Working Examples 8 to 10, due to the addition of the polymerization inhibitor, the viscosity of the precursor liquid is lower after 24 hours of storage at 40°C. This is because, without the addition of the polymerization inhibitor, the monomers to be used in the second step of the reaction are slightly polymerized during the first step of the reaction at 40°C, which leads to premature crosslinking and is not favorable for the infiltration of the electrolyte liquid into the battery cell. (7) In Comparative Example 5, the first monomer in Working Example 1 is replaced with 2-acrylic acid (2-hydroxy-1,3-methylene)bis[oxy(2-hydroxy-3,1-methylene)] ester, whose functionality is 3. In Comparative Example 6, the first monomer in Working Example 1 is replaced with N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]acrylamide, whose functionality is 3. As can be seen from Table 2, the electrochemical windows of Comparative Examples 5 and 6 are significantly lower than those of Working Example 1. This is because when the functionality of the first monomer is comparatively high, premature crosslinking easily occurs, resulting in a decrease in the molecular weight of the polymer main chain, causing residue formation, and ultimately leading to deterioration in battery performance. (8) From the comparison of the results of Example 1, Example 11, and Example 12, it is clear that an aromatic isocyanate monomer is preferable as the second monomer over aliphatic isocyanate or alicyclic isocyanate. This is because the aromatic monomer in Example 1 has high reactivity, promotes the reaction at low temperature in the first stage, has a higher conversion rate, and is less likely to remain. Thus, the battery ultimately performs better. From Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 13, it is clear that by selecting polyethylene glycol having a higher molecular weight, the viscosity of the electrolyte liquid is increased to some extent, and the electric performance after the subsequent injection decreases slightly. (9) From the comparison of the results of Embodiments 1, 14, 15, 16, and 17, it is clear that, considering various battery performance indicators comprehensively, it is a better choice to set the monomer mass to 5 to 20% of the sum of the monomer mass and the electrolyte mass in Embodiment 1. In Embodiment 14, the monomer mass is increased to 20% of the sum of the monomer mass and the electrolyte mass; although the capacity and cycle performance decrease to some extent, and the internal resistance of the battery increases to some extent, the electrochemical window is improved to some extent compared to Embodiment 1.This is because polymers exhibit better oxidation resistance than low-molecular-weight solvents in the electrolyte liquid. As the polymer content increases, low-molecular-weight solvents have less contact with electrodes, improving the overall oxidation resistance of the electrolyte. This can also be seen in the pure electrolyte liquid of Comparative Example 1; although the electrolyte liquid has no problem with infiltration uniformity, the electrolyte liquid exhibits poorer oxidation resistance and lower cycling stability than solid electrolyte. When the monomer mass further increases to 30% of the sum of the monomer mass and the electrolyte mass (Working Example 17), the viscosity of the injected liquid increases, which has a certain impact on battery infiltration and leads to a reduction in battery performance. In Embodiment 15 and Embodiment 16, the above-mentioned content is reduced to 5% and 2%, respectively. The electrochemical window, internal resistance of the battery, and capacity are not significantly changed, but the cycle performance decreases. In particular, the cycle performance of Embodiment 16 decreases significantly because, after the polymer content decreases to a certain level, the electrolyte components dominate, and the oxidation property is mainly determined by the electrolyte solvent molecules themselves. Although the basic performance is not significantly different in initial tests, low-molecular-weight solvents undergo continuous side reactions during long cycles, resulting in poor cycle performance. (10) From the Fig. 1 to 3 and Fig. 6 to 8 it can be seen that in comparison with the pole pieces obtained by the conventional method in which pre-polymerization is carried out first and then liquid injection and polymerization are carried out ( Fig. 2 and Fig. 3), the pole pieces obtained by the stepwise polymerization of the present invention ( Fig. 1) have a pole piece surface that is more evenly covered with polymer after disassembly. This effect is more evident in large commercial batteries. As shown in Fig. 6 (the solution of the present invention), the degree of coverage of the polymers on the pole piece surface is significantly higher. In Fig. 7 there is obviously a large uncovered area. In Fig. 8, there are circular, uncovered areas, indicating that a large number of bubbles have not been discharged. This is because using the process that initially involves pre-polymerization, the viscosity of the electrolyte liquid is significantly increased, resulting in poor fluidity and wettability.
[0056] As from Fig. As can be seen from Figure 4, in the linear voltammetry scan test with the battery blocked, the current of Example 1 is significantly lower, indicating that the electrolyte itself is less oxidized and decomposed. This is because Comparative Examples 3 and 4 use radical polymerization for the early growth of molecular chains. Radical polymerization itself is difficult to control and prone to various problems such as transfer and termination, resulting in a low degree of polymerization of the main chain and reduced oxidation resistance. In contrast, the present invention uses stepwise polymerization, which achieves better effects.
[0057] Out of Fig.5 shows that in Example 1, the battery performance gradually decreases with increasing cycle number, and only when the cycle number exceeds 400 does the battery performance deteriorate rapidly. For Comparative Example 3, the number of cycles at which the battery performance rapidly deteriorates is 100. For Comparative Example 4, the number of cycles at which the battery performance rapidly deteriorates is 200. This is because uneven infiltration or polymerization impairs ion transfer, and a long cycle is prone to lithium precipitation, leading to performance deterioration.
[0058] The advantageous effects of the present invention can be summarized as follows: 1. In the present invention, monomers are used for two types of polymerization mechanisms, distinguishing two steps, namely main chain growth and crosslinking, avoiding abnormal polymerizations such as solvent transfer, double radical termination, crosslinking to form a ring, explosive polymerization, etc. in the early radical polymerization process of the conventional in situ curing, and the formed electrolyte has a higher electrochemical window and is more suitable for long cycles. 2. The viscosity of the precursor liquid during injection according to the present invention is less than 10 mPa·s, which promotes the infiltration of the battery cell by the electrolyte liquid, the surface of the disassembled pole piece is more uniform and bubble-free, and the internal resistance of the battery cell is lower. 3. The present invention uses a one-pot process, which has a positive effect on the expansion of production. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
