Description

[Technical Field]

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid spread of battery-powered electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and electric vehicles, the demand for high-energy-density, high-capacity secondary batteries has been rapidly increasing, leading to active research and development efforts to improve the performance of lithium secondary batteries.

[0003] A lithium secondary battery is a battery that includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode, each containing an active material capable of lithium ion intercalation and deintercalation, and an electrolyte. Electrical energy is produced by oxidation and reduction reactions that occur when lithium ions are inserted into and / or deintercalated from the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

[0004] The electrolyte used in such lithium secondary batteries is a lithium salt dissolved in a non-aqueous organic solvent. The characteristics of a lithium secondary battery are determined by the complex reactions between the positive electrode and the electrolyte, the negative electrode and the electrolyte, etc. Therefore, the use of an appropriate electrolyte is one of the key factors for improving the performance of a lithium secondary battery.

[0018] In order to fully understand the configuration and effects of the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, and can be embodied in various forms and can be modified in various ways. However, the description of the present embodiments is intended to complete the disclosure of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0019] In this specification, when a component is referred to as being on top of another component, it means that it may be formed directly on the other component, or that a third component may be interposed between them. Also, in the drawings, the thickness of the components may be exaggerated for the purpose of effectively explaining the technical content. Throughout the specification, parts designated with the same reference numerals refer to the same components.

[0020] Unless otherwise stated herein, the singular can also include the plural. Additionally, unless otherwise stated, "A" or "B" can mean "including A but also including B, or including A and B." As used herein, "comprises" and / or "comprising" do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements to the referenced element.

[0021] As used herein, "combinations thereof" can mean mixtures, laminates, composites, copolymers, alloys, blends, reaction products, and the like of compositions.

[0022] In this specification, the term "layer" in one or more embodiments includes shapes formed or provided on the entire surface when viewed from a plane (e.g., when viewed), as well as shapes formed or provided on a partial surface.

[0023] Although terms such as "first," "second," "third," and / or the like may be used herein to describe one or more suitable elements, components, regions, layers, and / or sections, it will be understood that these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or sections are not limited by these terms. These terms are merely utilized to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, or section described herein could be referred to as a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings described herein.

[0024] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated list items. Phrases such as "at least one," "one," and "selected from," when preceding a list of elements (e.g., when ~), modify the list of elements as a whole, not individual elements of the list. For example, the phrases "at least one of a through c," "at least one of a, b, or c," and "at least one of a, b, and / or c" can refer to a only, b only, c only, both a and b (e.g., simultaneously), both a and c (e.g., simultaneously), both b and c (e.g., simultaneously), all of a, b, and c, or variations thereof.

[0025] Spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "lower," "above," and the like may be used herein to easily describe the relationship between one element or feature and another. It will be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted (e.g., flipped over), elements described as "below" or "below" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an above and below orientation (e.g., simultaneously). The device may be in other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein can be interpreted accordingly.

[0026] The terms used herein are used only for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including chemical, technical, and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains. Furthermore, terms as defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the meaning in the context of the relevant art and this disclosure, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense.

[0027] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations are to be expected as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Thus, the embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein, but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may typically have rough and / or non-linear features. Furthermore, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded. Accordingly, regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of the regions and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0028] The terms "may" and "can" are understood to refer to "one or more embodiments of the present disclosure," some of which include the recited elements, some of which exclude the elements and / or include alternative elements. Similarly, alternative words such as "or" refer to "one or more embodiments of the present disclosure," each of which includes the corresponding recited items.

[0029] As used herein, "essentially contained" means that any additional component does not significantly affect the chemical, physical, optical, or electrical properties of the semiconductor film.

[0030] Furthermore, in this specification, the terms "on a plane" or "plan view" refer to a view of a subject portion from above, and the term "on a cross section" refers to a view of a cross section formed by cutting the subject portion vertically from the side.

[0032] The positive electrode 10 and the negative electrode 20 may be separated from each other by a separator 30. The separator 30 may be disposed between the positive electrode 10 and the negative electrode 20.

[0040] positive electrode active material The positive electrode active material in the positive electrode active material layer AML1 may be a compound capable of reversibly inserting and extracting lithium (lithiated intercalation compound). Specifically, one or more composite oxides of lithium and a metal selected from cobalt, manganese, nickel, and combinations thereof may be used.

[0041] The composite oxide may be a lithium transition metal composite oxide, but specific examples include lithium nickel-based oxide, lithium cobalt-based oxide, lithium manganese-based oxide, lithium iron phosphate-based oxide, cobalt-free nickel-manganese-based oxide, or a combination thereof.

The high-nickel positive electrode active material can realize high capacity and can therefore be applied to high-capacity, high-density lithium secondary batteries.

[0045] negative electrode 20 The lithium secondary battery negative electrode 20 can include a current collector COL2 and a negative electrode active material layer AML2 formed on the current collector COL2. The negative electrode active material layer AML2 includes a negative electrode active material and can further include a binder and / or a conductive material.

The cellulose-based compound may be a mixture of one or more of carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, or alkali metal salts thereof. The alkali metal may be Na, K, or Li.

[0051] The dry binder may be a fiberizable polymeric material such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, ethylene oxide, or combinations thereof.

[0052] The conductive material is used to impart conductivity to the electrode and can be any material that does not cause chemical changes in the constructed battery and is electronically conductive.

[0077] Hereinafter, the electrolyte of the lithium secondary battery according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0078] An electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment may include a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt, a first additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 1, and a second additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 2:

[0079] The electrolyte may be prepared by dissolving a lithium salt in a non-aqueous organic solvent, adding the first and second additives, and then mixing them. The process of mixing an electrolyte is well known in the field of electrolyte preparation, and a person skilled in the art should be able to select and use an appropriate process.

[0080] The non-aqueous organic solvent may include one or more selected from the group consisting of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), propyl propionate (PP), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), dipropyl carbonate (DPC), methyl propyl carbonate (MPC), ethyl propyl carbonate (EPC), methyl ethyl carbonate (MEC), and butylene carbonate (BC).

[0081] In one embodiment, the non-aqueous organic solvent may be a mixed solvent of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), and propyl propionate (PP).

[0082] As specific examples, ethylene carbonate (EC) may be contained in an amount of 5 vol% to 20 vol% relative to the total amount of the non-aqueous organic solvent (100 vol%), propylene carbonate (PC) may be contained in an amount of 10 vol% to 30 vol% relative to the total amount of the non-aqueous organic solvent, and propyl propionate (PP) may be contained in an amount of 50 vol% to 80 vol% relative to the total amount of the non-aqueous organic solvent.

[0083] In one embodiment, LiPF6 may be used as the lithium salt.

[0084] The concentration of the lithium salt may be 0.1 M to 2.0 M. Specifically, the concentration of the lithium salt may be 0.5 M or more, or 1.0 M or more. The concentration of the lithium salt may be 2.0 M or less, 1.7 M or less, or 1.5 M or less. In the present invention, when the concentration of the lithium salt is 0.1 M to 2.0 M, the conductivity and viscosity of the electrolyte can be appropriately maintained.

[0086] [ka] ...chemical formula 1

[0087] The first additive contains a halogen component such as fluoro, which allows LiF generated during charging and discharging to form a robust coating on the positive and negative electrodes, thereby more effectively contributing to the cycle life characteristics of the lithium battery.

[0088] The first additive may be included in an amount of 0.5 to 3 wt% based on 100 wt% of the total amount of the electrolyte. Specifically, the first additive may be included in an amount of 1 to 2 wt% based on the total amount of the electrolyte. If the content of the first additive is below this range, a problem may occur in which a coating is not sufficiently formed on the lithium-based positive and negative electrodes. If the content of the first additive is above this range, a problem may occur in which the resistance of the positive and negative electrodes increases, thereby reducing the capacity and lifespan of the battery.

[0089] The second additive according to one embodiment of the present invention is represented by the following formula 2:

[0090] [ka] ...Chemical formula 2

[0093] In chemical formula A, R 1 and R 2 are each independently hydrogen, halogen, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 cycloalkyl group.

[0094] As an example, L 1 and L 2 At least one of may be a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C5 alkylene group.

[0095] As an example, L 1 and L 2 may each independently be a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C5 alkylene group.

[0097] As an example, L 1 and L 2 may each independently be a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C5 alkylene group.

[0098] The sulfonic acid group contained in Chemical Formula 2 forms a coating on the surface of the positive electrode to inhibit decomposition of the positive electrode active material, thereby inhibiting gas generation and elution of transition metals due to decomposition of the positive electrode active material.

[0099] The second additive represented by Chemical Formula 2 can strengthen the SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode while preventing deterioration of the SEI film and elution of transition metals from the positive electrode during high-temperature storage.

[0100] For example, Chemical Formula 2 can be represented by Chemical Formula 2-1 below.

[0101] [ka] ...Chemical formula 2-1

[0102] In chemical formula 2-1, L 1 and L 2 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C5 alkylene group; R 1A , R 1B , R 2A , and R 2B are each independently hydrogen, halogen, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 cycloalkyl group.

[0103] In one embodiment, the second additive can be selected from the compounds listed in Group 1 below.

[0104] [Group 1] [ka] JPEG2025138564000009.jpg4663

[0105] The second additive may be included in an amount of 0.5 to 5 wt% based on the total amount of the electrolyte. Specifically, the second additive may be included in an amount of 1 to 3 wt% based on the total amount of the electrolyte. When the content of the second additive is within this range, an increase in resistance at high temperatures can be prevented, and a lithium secondary battery with improved life and output characteristics can be realized.

[0106] The second additive can produce a synergistic effect when used in combination with an additive having a fluorinated lithium salt structure (e.g., the first additive described above). The combination of the first additive and the second additive not only inhibits gas generation in a lithium battery and improves the high-temperature storage performance of the battery, but also improves the stability of the battery in high-temperature and room-temperature cycles.

[0107] Specifically, the electrolyte of the present invention is a HF electrolyte that is stabilized by the first additive. - The effect of reducing the generation of transition metals and the coordination effect of the triazole group on the cathode metals by the second additive occur simultaneously, which is effective in suppressing the elution of transition metals during high-temperature storage and suppressing cathode deterioration.

[0108] In another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery, which includes a first additive represented by the above-mentioned Chemical Formula 1 and a second additive represented by the above-mentioned Chemical Formula 2, wherein the content ratio of the second additive to the first additive is 1 to 5. The electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to this other embodiment may further include a non-aqueous organic solvent and a lithium salt.

[0109] In the electrolyte, the content of the second additive may be greater than the content of the first additive. The ratio of the content of the second additive to the content of the first additive may be 1 to 5. According to one embodiment, the ratio of the content of the second additive to the content of the first additive may be 1 to 3.

[0110] If the ratio of the content of the second additive to the content of the first additive is below the range, the coulomb efficiency may drop sharply, and if the ratio of the content of the second additive to the content of the first additive exceeds the range, a problem may occur in that a protective film cannot be sufficiently formed on the surface of the lithium-based metal.

[0111] In yet another embodiment of the present invention, a lithium secondary battery may be provided, which includes a positive electrode including a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material, and an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte includes a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt, a first additive represented by Chemical Formula 1 above, and a second additive represented by Chemical Formula 2 above.

[0112] In a lithium secondary battery according to another embodiment of the present invention, a passivating coating is formed on the surfaces of the positive and negative electrodes as the non-aqueous electrolyte is decomposed during initial charge and discharge, thereby improving high-temperature storage characteristics. The coating is formed by thermal decomposition of HF, which is produced by the thermal decomposition of lithium salts (e.g., LiPF6) widely used in lithium-ion batteries. - and PF5 - Acids such as ammonium nitrate and ammonium hydroxide can cause degradation of the positive electrode. Such acid attack can cause the elution of transition metal elements at the positive electrode, changing the surface structure and increasing the electrode's surface resistance. This can result in a decrease in the theoretical capacity due to the loss of redox center metal elements, leading to a decrease in the actual capacity. Furthermore, these eluted transition metal ions can be electrodeposited on the negative electrode, which reacts in a strong reduction potential range. This not only consumes electrons, but also destroys the coating during electrodeposition, exposing the negative electrode surface, potentially triggering further electrolyte decomposition. As a result, the negative electrode resistance increases, increasing the irreversible capacity and resulting in a continuous decrease in the cell's capacity.

[0113] In the present invention, the triazole group and sulfone group of the second additive represented by the above-mentioned chemical formula 2 provide an unshared electron pair, thereby forming PF5 - By capturing and stabilizing the LiPF6 salt, the acid caused by the decomposition of the lithium salt can be removed.

[0114] The lithium secondary battery may be applied to automobiles, mobile phones, and / or various forms of electrical devices, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto. The lithium secondary battery is suitable for being charged at a high voltage or operating at a high voltage. For example, the upper limit charging voltage of the lithium secondary battery may be 4.5V or more, and may also be 4.5V to 4.7V, 4.5V to 4.6V, or 4.5V to 4.55V, etc.

[0115] As the positive electrode active material of the lithium secondary battery, lithium cobalt-based oxides, lithium nickel-based oxides, lithium manganese-based oxides, lithium iron phosphate-based oxides, cobalt-free nickel-manganese-based oxides, and combinations thereof can be used. As a specific example, lithium cobalt-based oxides can be used as the positive electrode active material.

[0116] As the negative electrode active material of the lithium secondary battery, carbon-based negative electrode active materials, silicon-based negative electrode active materials, or combinations thereof can be used.

[0117] The silicon-based negative electrode active material may include a core containing silicon-based particles and a coating layer containing amorphous carbon. The silicon-based particles may include one or more of silicon particles, Si-C composites, SiO x (0 < x ≦ 2), and Si alloy.

[0128] (2) Manufacture of lithium secondary batteries A mixture of 97 wt% LiCoO2 (LCO), 0.5 wt% artificial graphite powder (as a conductive material), 0.8 wt% carbon black (Ketjenblack), 0.2 wt% acrylonitrile rubber, and 1.5 wt% polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) was added to N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and stirred for 30 minutes using a mechanical stirrer to prepare a cathode active material slurry. The slurry was then coated onto a 20 μm thick aluminum current collector using a doctor blade to a thickness of approximately 60 μm, dried in a hot air dryer at 100°C for 0.5 hours, and then dried again in a vacuum at 120°C for 4 hours. The cathode was then rolled to prepare a cathode.

[0129] Anode active material (98 wt%), consisting of a 93:7 mixture of artificial graphite and silicon composite, 1 wt% styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and 1 wt% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), was mixed and added to distilled water. The mixture was stirred for 60 minutes using a mechanical stirrer to prepare anode active material slurry. The slurry was then applied to a 10 μm-thick copper current collector using a doctor blade to a thickness of approximately 60 μm. The resulting mixture was dried in a hot air dryer at 100°C for 0.5 hours, then dried again in a vacuum at 120°C for 4 hours, and rolled to prepare anodes.

[0130] The positive and negative electrodes were assembled with a 10 μm thick polyethylene separator to prepare an electrode assembly, and an electrolyte was injected to prepare a lithium secondary battery.

[0136] Comparative Example 2 An electrolyte solution and a lithium secondary battery were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the second additive was not added when preparing the electrolyte solution.

[0137] Evaluation example The lithium secondary batteries were evaluated by the following methods.

[0138] Evaluation 1: Evaluation of high-temperature charge-discharge cycle characteristics The lithium secondary batteries prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples were subjected to 200 cycles at 45°C under the conditions of 2.0 C charge (CC / CV, 4.53 V cut-off) / 1.0 C discharge (CC, 3.0 V cut-off), and then the discharge capacity was measured and the high temperature capacity retention was calculated, and the results are shown in Table 1. The high temperature capacity retention was calculated according to the following Equation 1.

[0139] [Formula 1] High temperature capacity retention rate (%) = (discharge capacity after 200 cycles / initial discharge capacity) * 100

[0140] Rating 2: Resistance Test The lithium secondary batteries prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples were charged to 4.53 V at 45°C, and then the initial resistance value of the battery and the resistance value of the battery after 28 days at 60°C were measured, and the resistance increase rate was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1 below. The resistance was measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

[0141] The resistance increase rate was calculated according to the following formula 2.

[0142] [Formula 2] Resistance increase rate (%) = (resistance value of battery after 28 days / resistance value of initial battery) * 100

[0143] Evaluation 3: Evaluation of high-temperature gas generation characteristics The lithium secondary batteries according to the examples and comparative examples were evaluated for high-temperature gas generation characteristics by charging them to 4.53 V at 45° C. and then leaving them at 60° C. for 28 days.

[0144] To confirm the gas reduction effect, the thickness of the initial cell battery and the thickness of the cell battery after 28 days of storage were measured, and the thickness increase rate was calculated and the results are shown in Table 1 below. The thickness increase rate was calculated according to the following equation 3.

[0145] [Formula 3] Thickness increase rate (%) = [(cell battery thickness after 28 days of storage - initial cell battery thickness) / (initial cell battery thickness)]*100

[0146] Specifically, the thickness of the cell battery was measured using a Mitutoyo crimping thickness gauge, with the pouch cell placed between crimping plates and then crimped with a weight of 300g. To eliminate the cooling effect, the thickness was measured immediately after removing from the 60°C oven, and the results are shown in the initial thickness increase rate section of Table 1 below. The thickness was also measured using the same method after storing in a 60°C thermostatic chamber for 28 days.

[0147] Evaluation 4: ICP-MS analysis (evaluation of transition metal elution) The lithium secondary batteries according to the examples and comparative examples were subjected to 200 charge / discharge cycles at 45°C under the conditions of 2.0 C charge (CC / CV, 4.53 V cut-off) / 1.0 C discharge (CC, 3.0 V cut-off), and then the amount of metal ions (Co) eluted was measured as follows.

[0148] The lithium secondary battery was disassembled, and the positive electrode plate was separated. The separated positive electrode plate was then placed in a 10 mL Teflon container together with the electrolyte and sealed. The Co content was measured by ICP-MS analysis, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0149] [Table 1]

[0150] General Referring to Table 1, it was confirmed that when an electrolyte containing the first additive and the second additive according to the concept of the present invention was used (Examples 1 to 4), high-temperature (60°C) storage stability and resistance increase rate were improved compared to when an electrolyte containing no additives was used (Comparative Example 1) and when only the first additive was used (Comparative Example 2). It was also confirmed that Examples 1 to 4, which combined the first additive and the second additive, had improved high-temperature (60°C) storage stability and resistance increase rate compared to Example 5, which used only the second additive.

[0151] This shows that when the first additive and the second additive according to the concept of the present invention are combined and electrically added, the cycle characteristics and life efficiency of the battery are improved in a high temperature (60°C) storage environment.

[0152] Referring to Table 1, it can be seen that the lithium secondary battery manufactured according to the comparative example has a larger change in cell thickness when stored at a high temperature (60°C) than the lithium secondary battery manufactured according to the example.

[0153] It was also confirmed that the lithium secondary batteries manufactured according to the Examples had a very low amount of Co eluted from the electrode plates. However, it was confirmed that the lithium secondary batteries manufactured according to the Comparative Examples had a significantly higher amount of Co eluted than the lithium secondary batteries of the Examples. Therefore, the lithium secondary batteries of the Examples can significantly reduce the amount of gas generated during cycling.

[0154] Therefore, the lithium secondary battery using the specific compounds represented by Chemical Formula 1 and Chemical Formula 2 according to the present invention can effectively suppress or reduce the generation of gas at high temperatures (60° C.).
