As discussed in Patent Document 1, the two additive systems under study (e.g., 2% VC + 1% allyl methanesulfonate and 2% PES + 1% TTS) Pi) typically performed less well than 3- or 4-additive electrolyte systems (e.g., (See Tables 1 and 2 in Patent Document 1.)

Another two-effective additive electrolyte system shown is in combination with DTD or another sulfur-containing additive.

The energy storage system 200 typically includes at least one base 202 and four It includes a modular housing having side walls 204 (only two shown). The module housing is generally electrically insulated from the contained battery cells 206. This is achieved through physical separation, through an electrically insulating layer, and through the module housing.

A circuit 310 connects the negative and positive terminals.
[0213] New research by the inventors has led to the development of a novel hybrid powertrain for use in grid and electric vehicle applications. Novel electrolytes and battery systems have been identified. These systems include: 1) 1,3,2-di- Oxathiolane-2,2-dioxide (DTD, also known as ethylene sulfate) ) or vinylene carbonate (VC) in combination with another sulfur-containing additive, 2) DTD or fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in combination with another sulfur-containing additive, and and 3) propane-1-ene-1,3-sulfur in combination with DTD or another sulfur-containing additive. Based on a two-additive electrolyte system combined with a solvent and electrodes, including polyethersulfone (PES), These two additive electrolyte systems have the composition LNi x Mn y Co z O2 (generally It is abbreviated as NMC or NMCxyz, where x, y, and z are nickel, manganese, and It is made from lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide with a molar ratio of 0.1 to 0.2. In certain embodiments, the positive electrode is NMC111, NMC532, In certain embodiments, the continuous crystalline structure is formed from NMC811 or NMC622. Single crystal macromolecules, resulting in electrodes with micrometer-sized regions of atoms (or particles). The NMC532 cathode formed with micrometer-side fine particles is due in part to the materials and processing conditions. The conditions result in larger particle sizes than are possible using conventional materials and processing conditions, making them particularly robust. It is shown to be.
[0214] Typical processing conditions are used to separate nanometer-sized particles into larger micrometer-sized aggregates. This results in an NMC electrode packed with zinc particles, forming nanometer-scale grain boundaries. Grain boundaries are defects that tend to degrade desirable properties (e.g., electrical properties). Therefore, it is usually desirable to reduce the number of particles and increase the particle size. This creates larger areas on the micrometer size scale, thereby enabling the The number of grain boundaries is reduced, improving electrical properties. The improved properties lead to a more robust battery system. In certain embodiments, larger domain sizes (micrometer size scale) Another NMC electrode may be processed to create a more robust system (e.g., a To create the stem, use NMC111, NMC811, NMC622, or another NM The C compound may be treated.
[0215] The positive electrode can be aluminum oxide (Al2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2), or another The positive electrode may be coated with a material such as a coating. Coating the positive electrode may degrade the system. Reduces interfacial phenomena at the cathode, such as parasitic reactions, thermal abuse, or other phenomena that may cause The negative electrode may be made of natural graphite, artificial graphite, or another material. It may also be made from
[0216] The electrolyte is ethylene carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, methyl acetate, propylene Carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, other carbonate solvents (cyclic or acyclic), another organic solvent, and / or another non-aqueous solvent. The solvent may be a lithium salt (such as LiPF6) dissolved in a combination of non-aqueous solvents. The solvent is present in higher concentrations than the additive, typically greater than 6% by weight. , which were produced using electrolyte solvents containing EC and EMC (with or without MA). These solvents are merely examples of other non-aqueous solvents, particularly other carbonate solvents. The systems tested to understand the effect of the addition of MA as an additive, electrode, and solvent were: EC and EMC solvents were used in the experiments to control the system. The electrolyte system is composed of propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, and dimethyl carbonate. carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, other carbonate solvents (cyclic or other carbonates, including other organic solvents (cyclic or acyclic), other organic solvents, and / or other non-aqueous solvents. Solvents and / or other non-carbonate solvents may be used. The solvents may have a higher viscosity than the additives. It is present in low concentrations, usually above 6% by weight.
[0217] 2. In the additive mixture FEC and DTD, the concentration of FEC is preferentially 0.5 to 6 wt.%. and the concentration of DTD is preferentially between 0.25 and 5% by weight. For VC and DTD, the concentration of VC is preferentially between 0.5 and 6 wt.%, and that of DTD. The concentration is preferentially between 0.25 and 5% by weight.
[0218] Some of these new battery systems have improved charging and discharging rates, as well as the ability to charge and discharge rapidly. Energy storage and automotive applications (e.g., in electric vehicles) where lifetime during charging and discharging is important In particular, MA can be used in applications where the current rate is higher than the It can be used as an electrolyte solvent to extend the life when charged and discharged at room temperature. [Pre-experimental setup] The battery system itself may be packaged differently in accordance with the present disclosure, but experimental The setup typically uses a two-additive electrolyte system and positive and negative electrodes. To systematically evaluate battery systems containing specific materials and using typical setups All percentages mentioned within this disclosure are All percentages are by weight unless otherwise specified. The concentration employed will depend on the most desirable improved properties and the lithium This depends on other components and designs used within the ion battery and is separate from this disclosure. Those skilled in the art will understand that.
[0219] [Pouch Cell] The pouch cell used in the experimental setup contains 1M Li in a solvent with additives. Depending on the concentration of methyl acetate (0, 20, or 40%), the electrolyte (1) 1.2M in 30% ethylene carbonate and 70% ethyl methyl carbonate of LiPF6, (2) 24% ethylene carbonate, 56% ethyl methyl carbonate, and 1.2 M LiPF6 in 20% methyl acetate, or (3) 18% ethylene carbonate 1.2 M Li in 42% ethyl methyl carbonate, and 40% methyl acetate The electrolyte consists of 1M LiPF6 in PF6. The specified weight percentages The additive ingredients were added at this stage.
[0220] Pouch cells are NMC with micrometer-sized particles unless otherwise specified. The positive electrode is made of 532 (sometimes called single crystal NMC532) and the negative electrode is made of artificial graphite. To test a specific battery system, a standard NMC532 (having particles smaller than NMC, which has micrometer-sized particles) and NM Another positive electrode containing C622 was used, as well as a negative electrode (containing natural graphite).
[0221] Before electrolyte filling, the pouch cell was cut open under the heat seal to remove any residual water. The mixture was dried at 100°C under vacuum for 12 hours to obtain a granular solid. The cell was immediately transported to an argon-filled glove box for vacuum sealing and then filled with electrolyte. After filling, the cell was vacuum sealed.
[0222] After sealing, the pouch cell is placed in a temperature box at 40.0±0.1℃ and wetting is performed. The pouch cells were then subjected to a forming process. Unless otherwise specified, the formation process consisted of heating the pouch cell at 11mA (C / 20) for 4 The charge cycle consists of charging to 0.2V and discharging to 3.8V. C / x is the charge / discharge cycle that determines how much a cell will last at its initial capacity. , the time to charge or discharge the cell at the selected current is x hours. For example, C / 20 indicates that the charge or discharge takes 20 hours. The cell is then transported into a glove box and turned off to release any formed gases. The container was opened, re-vacuum sealed and the appropriate experiment performed.
[0223] [Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy] After storage and formation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were performed on the pouch cells. The cells were charged or discharged to 3.8 V, and then the temperature was measured at 10.0 ± 0.1°C. The temperature was measured at 10.0±0.1°C with a signal amplitude of 10mV and 100kHz.

[0224] LFO influence on impedance: In certain embodiments, the LFO is partially Two or three electrolyte additives are included in the system to reduce the impedance of the system. Figures 35A to 35D show the most common types of batteries used in most applications, such as LiPO2F2 (LFO, or FF). It has been shown that the addition of lithium fluoride reduces the cell impedance after formation. However, LFO is 2% PES + 1% DTD + 1% TTSPi (together PES21 When the cathode is mixed with NMC53, an increase in impedance is observed. 2, and the negative electrode is artificial graphite.

The reason why the impedance did not decrease was because the cathode or This may be due to the large anode surface area. However, the LFO also has a low impedance. Therefore, adding an LFO does not decrease the impedance. , or neutral.
[0229] [Ultra-high precision cycling and storage experiments] To study the effectiveness of the disclosed battery system, including effective electrolyte additives and electrodes. Ultra-high precision cycling (UHPC) was performed. Standard UHPC procedures generate data To do this, use a current corresponding to C / 20 for 15 cycles, measuring 2.8 to 4.0 at 40°C. This involves cycling the cell between 0.5V and 3V. For coulombic efficiency, an accuracy of up to 30 ppm is achieved. To measure coulombic efficiency, end-of-charge capacity, slip, and other parameters, HC is employed. Details of the UHPC procedure are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. TM Bond, JC Burns, DA Stevens, HMDah n,and JRDahn,Journal of the Electroche This is described in Medical Society, 160, A521 (2013).
[0230] Metrics measured and / or determined from UHPC measurements of particular interest include: Includes coulombic efficiency, normalized coulombic inefficiency, normalized end-of-charge capacity slip, and normalized discharge capacity quantity (or fade rate), and delta V. Coulombic efficiency is the discharge capacity (Q d ) to the previous Cycle charge capacity (Q c ) which is what is happening in a Li-ion cell. It tracks the parasitic reactions that occur during charging and includes contributions from both the positive and negative electrodes. This indicates that the deterioration of the electrolyte in the cell is minimal. The coulomb inefficiency per hour (CIE / h) is Normalized (per hour) coulomb inefficiency, where coulomb inefficiency is 1-CE This is defined as taking 1-CE and dividing by the time of the cycle in which CE was measured. The end-of-charge capacity movement (or slippage) is calculated by The bioreactions are tracked, as well as the mass loss of the positive material, if any. Normalized discharge capacity, or fade rate, is another important metric. A lower fade rate is desirable and typically indicates a longer-lasting battery system. Delta V is calculated as the difference between the average charging voltage and the average discharging voltage. The change in delta V is Closely related to polarization growth, the change in delta-V when cycling is small UHPC measurements allow tracking metrics with greater accuracy and precision This allows for the evaluation of various degradation mechanisms at a relatively fast rate, making it ideal for comparing electrolyte compositions. It is particularly suitable for
[0231] Two-electrolyte system with FEC or VC as additive: In certain embodiments, A two-additive electrolyte system with additive concentrations of approximately 0.25-6% forms part of the battery system. The battery system also includes NMC111, NMC532, NMC811, and NMC622 , or a positive electrode made from another NMC composition (NMCxyz). In some cases, the processing conditions produced larger particle sizes than those produced under normal processing conditions. Therefore, the cathode made from NMC532, which has micrometer-scale particles, is particularly It was shown to be robust.
[0232] Typical processing conditions are used to separate nanometer-sized particles into larger micrometer-sized aggregates. This results in an MC electrode packed with zinc particles, forming nanometer-scale grain boundaries. Grain boundaries are defects that tend to degrade desirable properties (e.g., electrical properties). Therefore, it is usually desirable to reduce the number of particles and increase the particle size. , creating larger areas, on the micrometer size scale, and thereby NMC electrodes This reduces the number of grain boundaries within the battery, improving its electrical properties. The improved properties lead to a more robust battery system. In certain embodiments, larger domain sizes (micrometer-sized domains) are obtained. Another NMC electrode may be processed to create a more robust To create a suitable system, use the NMC111, NMC811, NMC622, or another The NMC compound may be treated.
[0233] The positive electrode can be aluminum oxide (Al2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2), or another 4A to 4J show the structure of a single crystal NMC532. A positive electrode made of 30% ethylene carbonate and a negative electrode made of artificial graphite were used. In a base electrolyte system containing 1.2 M LiPF6 in 0% ethyl methyl carbonate The novel two-additive electrolyte systems (VC+DTD and FEC+DTD) and the single-additive electrolyte Representative of the two additive systems of the present disclosure collected during a UHPC experiment comparing the solubility systems. 4A to 4J show typical experimental data. Specifically, the electrolyte system containing VC or FEC 1 illustrates the advantage of the two-additive system of the present disclosure, adding DTD to the stem.

The results are shown for the couplants containing 1% DTD, 2% VC, and 2% VC + 1% DTD electrolyte systems. Figure 4C shows the CE versus cycle number for 1% DTD, 2% VC, and 2% V.

The difference between the average charge voltage and the average discharge voltage is shown versus the number of cycles.
[0235] 4A to 4J show the results of the VC+DTD and FEC+DTD-containing polymers. Experimental data show the benefits of using an electrolyte containing 30% ethylene carbonate and 70% ethylene carbonate by weight. In a base electrolyte system containing 1.2 M LiPF6 in ethyl methyl carbonate When DTD was added to an electrolyte system containing VC or FEC, the This shows that the performance of electrolyte systems containing the additive improves. Figures 4A-4J show that the two additive systems (VC+DTD and FEC+DTD) Higher CE (in-cell) compared to systems with no additive or only one additive lower electrolyte degradation at the positive electrode) and lower end-of-charge kinetics (lower electrolyte degradation at the positive electrode) ) . Furthermore, Figures 4A-4J show that the desired low fade rate (Q d ) are also shown. Therefore, the two additives (VC+DTD and / or FEC+DT D) Electrolyte systems with only one additive of DTD, VC, or FEC performs better (in terms of CIE / h, CE, end-of-charge slippage) than electrolyte systems containing do.
[0236] Figure 5 summarizes the last three cycles of data generated during the experiment shown in Figures 4A-4J. Figure 5A shows the results for 1% DTD, 2% FEC, 2% FEC + 1% DTD, 2% VC, and time-normalized coulombs per hour for electrolyte systems containing 2%VC+1%DTD Figure 5B shows a summary of the last three cycles of inefficiency (CIE / h). Electrolyte systems containing EC, 2% FEC + 1% DTD, 2% VC, and 2% VC + 1% DTD Figure 5C shows a summary of the last three cycles of fragment sliding per hour for the stem. TD, 2%FEC, 2%FEC+1%DTD, 2%VC, and 2%VC+1%DTD , showing a summary of the last three cycles of hourly fragment fades.
[0237] 5A to 5C show that the VC+DTD and electrolyte systems containing VC+DTD are Systems containing only additional additives, i.e., 2% FEC, 2% VC, or 1% DTD. Comparatively, lower normalized coulombic inefficiency (CIE / h) and lower fractions per hour slippage, which means these electrolyte systems have a longer lifespan. 5A and 5B show that 1% DTD without any other additives has the highest However, the DTD does not show VC or When combined with FEC, the two additives formed a synergistic effect that was not previously predicted. The two-additive electrolyte system showed improved CIE / h and Figure 5C shows the results of the VC and FEC additives as single additives or in combination with VC or FEC. As part of a two-additive electrolyte system, the presence of 1% DTD reduces fragment fractions per hour. This indicates that DTD can extend the life of the battery system of the present invention. In addition to DTD, other sulfur-containing compounds works similarly and can extend battery life.
[0238] Methyl acetate as electrolyte solvent: In certain embodiments, higher charging in addition to other properties and discharge rate is expected, to improve the battery system life. Methyl acetate (in concentrations up to 60%) is used for vehicles and other applications. 9A to 9I show that the electrolyte conductivity can be increased without significantly sacrificing the lifetime. In electrolyte systems containing VC or FEC with DTD to reduce viscosity, Typical data collected during some ultra-precise charging experiments demonstrating the ability to add methyl acetate. Data shows that the improved conductivity and reduced viscosity are beneficial for certain applications requiring higher charging rates. is important to

[0275] Figures 16A-16F show the results of the system containing FEC and the system using MA as the solvent at 40°C. This shows the importance of DTDs in systems that use them. In general, cells with DTDs are The cells containing MA performed better than the cells without DTD. In the two-additive electrolyte system with 2% FEC + 1% DTD, the same Compared to the two-additive electrolyte system without MA, the effect of DTD is slightly weakened. Furthermore, the addition of up to 40% MA at 4.3 V reduces the cycle life. D and MA can have a symbiotic increase in the performance of the two additive electrolyte systems. However, this increase weakens when cycling up to 4.3V. In certain disclosed embodiments, the electrolyte system operates only up to 4.2V. In another embodiment shown, the electrolyte system operates up to 4.3 V but with less than 40% M This is the case for concentration A.

Figure 17D shows the electrochemical properties of electrolyte systems containing VC and / or DTD cycled up to 4.3 V. Figure 17E shows experimental plots of capacity versus cycle number for a system. Normalized capacity vs. cycle of electrolyte systems containing VC and / or DTD cycled at 1000 kJ / s. Figure 17F shows experimental data plots of V and V cycled up to 4.3 V.

This shows that:
[0279] Natural graphite as anode: In certain embodiments, the battery system is made from natural graphite. 18A to 18B and 19 show the results of the battery test at 40°C and C / 3 CCCV.

Figure 18B shows the normalized capacity plotted against cycle number. Figure 19 shows , voltage hysteresis (difference between average charge voltage and average discharge voltage) versus cycle number. 18A to 18B and 19 show that the dual electrolyte additive system containing DTD+FEC exhibits the same properties as the additive Although the results show that the performance improves over electrolyte systems containing only FEC, 6-F, where a graphite anode was used, the performance of this particular synthetic graphite anode is This suggests that this particular graphite anode is superior to the natural graphite anode in the additive electrolyte system. is doing.
[0280] In a particular embodiment, the battery system has a natural graphite anode. Its use is significant as a cost saving measure over the normally more expensive synthetic graphite. Therefore, when cost is the main factor and some performance trade-offs can be made, Natural graphite can be a good choice.
[0281] LFO as an Additive: In certain embodiments, LFO is added to the electrolyte system. Figure 41A shows the Coulombic inefficiency of different electrolyte systems, including systems containing LFO. Figure 41B summarizes the data for the LFO-incorporated system vs. the upper cutoff voltage. This paper summarizes data on fraction fade versus upper cutoff voltage for different electrolyte systems.

We summarize data on fraction fade versus upper cutoff voltage for different electrolyte systems, including Figure 42C shows an expanded view of 41C, showing different electrolytic systems, including systems with LFOs. The data summarizes the end-of-charge capacity slip versus upper cut-off voltage for the control system. Adding LFO to the mixture significantly improves the UHPC results. 1% LFO dramatically improves the situation compared to 0.5% LFO. CIE / h is the 1% LFO is about 4 x 10 -5 h -1 In comparison, 2% VC + 1% DT in the control The best electrolyte system without LFOs, such as D, is 3×10 -5 h -1 It is nearby.
[0282] 43A-43D show long-term results for different electrolyte systems, including systems containing LFO. The results of long-term cycling are summarized in Table 1. The results of long-term cycling show that the addition of LFO Dramatically improved impedance growth in tested systems, corroborating UHPC data In particular, the control electrolyte and the electrolyte system containing 20% MA were compared at 1% L. Addition of FO improves long-term cycling and impedance.
[0283] [Microcalorimetry] Microcalorimetry measures the heat flow into the cell during operation. The heat flow into the cell is determined by three different effects: The results are (1) ohmic heating and (2) entropy change due to the Li inserted in the electrode. and (3) a combination of parasitic reactions (electrolyte with additives, degradation at either electrode). The test cells contain the same physical design, differing only in the electrolyte, so the difference in heat flow is This is mainly due to differences in parasitic heat flow. Nevertheless, Downie et al. ournal of the Electrochemical Society,16 1, A1782-A1787 (2014)) and Glazier et al. (Journal of the Electrochemical Society,164(4)A56 7-A573(2017)) to extract the parasitic heat flow from the total heat flow. Both of these references are incorporated herein in their entirety. Cells with lower parasitic heat flow during cycling have longer life. Measured as a function of cell voltage. By plotting the parasitic heat flow, the voltage dependence of the parasitic reaction rate can be observed. can be done.

To ensure a stable SEI over time, the sensor is The battery was cycled four times and then tested to investigate the performance and parasitic heat flow at different voltage ranges. The cells were then charged at 1 mA between 4.0 V and different upper cutoff limits. Only one set of heat flow data is presented for each electrolyte since this resulted in a performance

[0287] Figure 11 shows experimental data (parasitic heat flow vs. voltage) from a calorimetric experiment when charging to 4.2V. 12A and 12B show the experimental data of the calorimetric experiment when charged to 4.3 V. The data (parasitic heat flow vs. voltage) are shown. Since charging up to 4.3V was repeated, each plot is 1 13A and 13B show the results of charging up to 4.4 V. The experimental data (parasitic heat flow vs. voltage) is shown. Charging up to 4.4V was repeated, and each plot The plots show the results for one charge. The difference plots (Fig. 11, Fig. 12A, Fig. 12B, Fig. 1 3A and 13B) were taken to measure the heat flow of each electrolyte mixture and the control (2% FEC). The heat flow is calculated by subtracting the generated heat flow. Table 1 summarizes the data displayed in Figure 14 in tabular form. There are. [Table 1]
[0288] Figures 11 to 14 and Table 1 show that adding DTD to FEC results in lower parasitic heat flow ( 11 to 14 and Table 1 also show that the It was also shown that adding MA resulted in a higher parasitic heat flow (higher parasitic reaction rate). However, this increase may be mitigated by DTD, which may result in a decrease in the This helps reduce the increase in parasitic reaction rates from
[0289] LFO as an additive: Figure 47 shows that the charge heat flow is affected by the parasitic heat flow, charge overpotential, and discharge overpotential. Figures 48a to 48F show the results of the TAM experiment. The plots compare the system with 2%VC + 1%DTD. Figures 48a-48F show , which shows that 2%VC+1DTD is better than 2%FEC+1DTD. They also offer a 1% over 4.3V output when optimized for an LFO in your system. It also shows that LFO+1%VC+1%FEC is superior to 2%VC+1%DTD. Compared to a system with 1% LFO, 1% LFO + 1% VC is It exhibits performance almost equivalent to 0+1%VC+1%FEC, and 2%VC+1% at 4.3V. As can be seen in Figures 50A-50C, the optimal LFO composition is approximately 1.0%. Figure 51 shows the average parasitic heat as a function of cycles for the best performing cell. A 0.5% LFO with 1% VC + 1% FEC shows the current after 4.4V cycles. 2%VC+1%LFO is not the same as 2%VC+1%DTD. Always comparable. Therefore, systems with VC and with or without DTD is possible.
[0290] [Plating experiment] The plating experiment will test the vehicle's ability to charge at high speeds. Very important in energy storage, but slower charging in grid storage The rate can be acceptable. High-speed charging is limited primarily by lithium plating on the negative electrode. This leads to safety issues and reduces cycle and calendar life. Therefore, an electrolyte system that allows for higher charging rates without plating is advantageous. To study the effect of lithium plating, a plating experiment was conducted. Indicates a lot.
[0291] To test the charging capability of the cell, a plating experiment was carried out. After EIS measurements, 1C, 1V between 2.8 and 4.1V using Maccor charging system at ±0.1°C The cells were charged and discharged at constant current (C-rate) of 0.5C and 2.0C to ensure reproducibility. To ensure the active lithium loss during cycling, paired cells were tested at each charge rate. To determine this, the cells were cycled once at C / 20 before and after the high charge rate segment. minimizes electrolyte oxidation at the negative electrode and prevents the fully loaded negative electrode from accelerating, which occurs in these cells at 4.4V. The upper cutoff voltage was set at 4.1 V to ensure that no leaks were present. To eliminate the effects of small amounts of gas that may be generated during cycling, all pouch cells were externally The clamp cycled the battery. After approximately 350 hours of cycling, or a 20% capacity loss, Once this was reached, the cell was stopped.
[0292] Two-electrolyte system with FEC or VC as additive: In certain embodiments, A two-additive electrolyte system with additive concentrations of approximately 0.25-6% forms part of the battery system. Figure 22 shows the experimental data of plating experiments for different battery systems at different current charging rates. Figure 22 shows that the addition of DTD does not significantly increase the maximum current at which plating can occur. For example, a sample consisting of two additives, i.e., 2% FEC + 1% DTD, The slow capacity loss of the electrolyte system was measured at 1C, 1.5C, and 2C with a single addition. Similarly, Figure 22 shows that the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte system containing the two additives is reduced compared to the electrolyte system containing 2% FEC. The slow capacity loss of the electrolyte system consisting of additives, i.e., 1% FEC + 1% DTD, is 1C and 1.5C, lower than the electrolyte system with a single additive, 2% FEC. This is only slightly higher at 2C.
[0293] Figure 23 shows experimental data from plating tests, showing the charging current every 30 cycles. The mass loss rate indicates lithium plating. At a charging current of 2C, all cells However, the cells with DTDs continued to plate lithium during plating. This is because the amount of plating in the cell with DTD is less than that in the cell without DTD. In addition to DTD, other sulfur-containing compounds also reduce plating can function similarly to reduce
[0294] Figure 24 shows experimental data for peak capacity as a function of cycle number for different electrolyte systems. The results show that DTD is significantly reduced when DTD and MMDS are combined with VC. It performed better than MMDS in maintaining the peak capacity of the drug-electrolyte system.
[0295] Methyl acetate as electrolyte solvent: according to certain embodiments, to reduce plating As a solvent, methyl acetate is used at a concentration of up to 60% by weight. Figure 27 shows the effect of using MA as a solvent in the presence of an electrolyte system consisting of The effect of the presence of MA as a solvent and DTD as an additive on the cell impedance. The results of plating experiments to determine the effect of 0%, 2% 2% additives (VC, FEC, and PES) in electrolyte with 0% and 40% MA The remaining electrolyte of 0% MA is 30% ethylene carbonate and 70% ethyl acetate. The remaining electrolyte is 1.2 M LiPF6 in methyl carbonate. 1.2M LiP in 4% ethylene carbonate and 56% ethyl methyl carbonate The remaining electrolyte of 40% MA is 18% ethylene carbonate and 42% ethylene carbonate. 1.2 M LiPF6 in ethyl methyl carbonate. Figure 28 shows that the low rate capacity loss is small. 27. This is an expanded view of the specific data shown in FIG.
[0296] In Figures 27 and 28, higher capacity loss indicates more lithium plating. Figures 27 and 28 show that even at a 2C charge rate, the presence of MA reduces the slow capacity loss. Therefore, the electrolyte solution containing 20% or 40% MA The system is designed for use in fast charging applications, such as energy storage in vehicles, which may be exposed to high charging current rates. It is a strong candidate for use in applications that require electricity.
[0297] Figures 29, 30, and 31 show experimental data for electrolyte systems containing FEC as an additive. The different datasets are shown in Figure 1. The DTD and / or 29, 30, and 31 show the results of the 1 or 2 additives with FEC. Adding MA to the additive electrolyte system allows for up to 2C to be contained without significant plating. This indicates that higher charging speeds are possible.
[0298] Similarly, Figures 32, 33, and 34 show the results for electrolyte systems containing VC as an additive. The results of the experimental data are shown. The different data sets are based on the DTD and and / or MA. Figures 32, 33, and 34 show the additives with VC or By adding MA to the electrolyte system, the plating temperature can be increased up to 2C without significant plating. This indicates that higher charging speeds will be possible, including
[0299] LFO as an electrolyte additive: Figures 44A-44D include systems containing LFO. The long-term cycling data under fast charging for different electrolyte systems is summarized. As can be seen from the data, the presence of MA reduces the amount of plating. Reduce the possibility of Li plating during fast charging. For example, in Figure 44A, 20%MA+1% An electrolyte system with LFO is more effective than another system with less MA or LFO. The normalized discharge capacity loss is significantly less than that of the plating. Represents.
[0300] [Gas volume measurement] intended use, such as grid storage or energy storage in vehicles, including electric vehicles. Before the cells are used in a given application, a formation process is carried out. During formation, the cells are precisely controlled undergoing repeated charge and discharge cycles, which is necessary to ensure that the electrodes and The purpose of this process is to activate the electrolyte and the catalyst. During the formation, gas is generated. occurs (depending on the specific tolerances allowed by the cell and cell package) It may be necessary to release the gas after the forming process and before use in the application. This usually requires the additional step of breaking the seal and then resealing it. These steps are common to many battery systems, but if possible, gas generation should be minimized. It is desirable to eliminate these by choosing fewer systems.
[0301] Gas volume experiments were recommended to measure gas evolution during formation and cycling. To measure the gas concentration, ex-situ (static) measurements were used. The measurements were performed by immersing the cell in the liquid. The test was carried out using Archimedes' principle by hanging the object from a balance. The change in weight of a cell suspended in a fluid is directly related to the change in volume due to the change in buoyancy force. The change in mass Am of a cell suspended in a fluid of density p is related to the change in cell volume Δν, as expressed by Δν=A Related by m / p.
[0302] Two-electrolyte system with FEC or VC as additive: In certain embodiments, A two-additive electrolyte system with additive concentrations of approximately 0.25-6% forms part of the battery system. Figure 20 shows the results of a gas generation experiment in which the amount of gas generated was measured according to the procedure described above. Figure 20 shows that systems without DTDs usually perform better, e.g. , the system containing only 2% FEC as an additive is 1% FEC + 1% DTD and 2% F EC+1% shows better performance than DTD. That is, DTD is a gas that is forming. Increased volume generation and desirable properties when combined with other additives, e.g., VC and FEC. When DTD is used as an additive for desirable properties, the system is As shown in Fig. 1, a mechanism for safely disposing of gases generated by DTDs, such as gas release after formation, has been developed. Figure 20 shows a two-additive electrolyte system containing MMDS and PES or FEC. stems more (if any) than when 2% PES or FEC was the only additive. This indicates that the catalyst does not produce much additional gas.
[0303] Methyl acetate as electrolyte solvent: according to certain embodiments, to reduce plating As a solvent, methyl acetate is used in concentrations up to 60% by weight. Determine the effect of the presence of MA as a solvent and DTD as an additive on the synthesis gas. The results of gas generation experiments are presented. The electrolyte systems tested were 0%, 20%, and and 2% additives (VC, FEC, and PES) in an electrolyte with 40% MA. The remaining electrolyte of 0% MA was 30% ethylene carbonate and 70% ethyl methyl carbonate. The remaining electrolyte is 20% MA, 1.2M LiPF6 in carbonate, 24% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. 1.2M LiPF6 in ethanol carbonate and 56% ethyl methyl carbonate The remaining electrolyte of 40% MA is 18% ethylene carbonate and 42% ethyl methyl methacrylate. 1.2M LiPF6 in carbonate.
[0304] Figure 25 shows the MA in a two-additive electrolyte system containing VC or FEC with DTD. This indicates that the increase in gas volume due to the addition of HCl does not change significantly with increasing amounts of MA. That is, when DTD is part of a two-additive electrolyte system, only VC or FEC Compared to the additive electrolyte system with 1, the critical amount of gas evolved is less. In-Situ Gas Volume Measurement
[0305] Figures 45A and 45B summarize the results of the in-situ gas experiment at 40°C. Cells with LFO but no MA showed less gassing during the hold segment of these tests. This indicates that there is no Cell Impedance
[0306] The two-additive electrolyte system and novel battery system disclosed herein provide low cell The cell impedance reduces the energy efficiency of the cell. It is desirable to minimize the cell impedance. , which means faster charging speeds and higher energy efficiency.
[0307] Cell impedance was measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Pouch cells use monocrystalline NMC532 cathodes and synthetic anodes unless otherwise specified. The EIS measurements were performed after the formation of the cell. The cell was then transferred to a temperature box at 10.0±0.1°C. The cells were charged or discharged to 3.80 V before being charged. Signal amplitude: AC input from 100kHz to 10mHz with a resolution of 10 points per decade Impedance spectra were collected. From the measured AC impedance, the charge transfer resistance ( R ct ) was calculated and plotted.
[0308] Two-electrolyte system with FEC or VC as additive: In certain embodiments, A two-additive electrolyte system with additive concentrations of approximately 0.25-6% forms part of the battery system. Figure 21 shows the results from a 1% DTD with 1% or 2% PES, FEC, or VC. Figure 1 shows experimental data from a cell charge transfer impedance experiment of the two-additive electrolyte system. 21 are these 2 of 1% DTD with 1% or 2% PES, FEC, or VC. It was shown that the additive electrolyte system does not significantly increase the cell charge transfer impedance. In particular, 1% DTD with 1% VC, 1% DTD with 2% VC, and 1% FEC The systems with 1% DTD with 2% FEC and 1% DTD with 2% FEC exclude the DTD. The cell impedance was similar to that seen in the single additive system. Therefore, these novel two-additive electrolyte systems exhibit excellent performance. This does not sacrifice the important charge transfer impedance performance.
[0309] Methyl acetate as electrolyte solvent: according to certain embodiments, to reduce plating As a solvent, methyl acetate is used in concentrations up to 60% by weight. The cell culture for the electrolyte system consisting of one-additive and two-additive systems with MA as the additive The results of charge transfer impedance experiments are shown. The additive electrolyte systems tested were 0% DTD and M to electrolyte systems in electrolyte solvents with 20%, 20%, and 40% MA Additives VC, FEC, and PES with and without 1% DTD to show the effect of A The 0% MA electrolyte was 30% ethylene carbonate and 70% ethylene The electrolyte is 1.2 M LiPF in methyl carbonate. The remaining electrolyte is 20% MA. 1.2M Li in 24% ethylene carbonate and 56% ethyl methyl carbonate The remaining electrolyte of 40% MA is 18% ethylene carbonate and 42% 1.2 M LiPF6 in ethyl methyl carbonate. Figure 26 shows that DTD Furthermore, the results show that the DTD produces only a slight increase in dynamic impedance. In the two-additive electrolyte system containing VC or FEC, the addition of MA significantly reduced the cell charge. In 40% MA solvent, VC+DTD and FEC+D The TD system is a charge-dispersion model from the corresponding system without DTD and MA as a solvent. The transfer impedance was decreased. In the PES+DTD2 additive electrolyte system, MA also reduced the charge transfer impedance of the system.
