Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition used in an electrochemical device, and particularly to a phosphazene derivative group-based additive in a composition applied to an electrochemical device.

Background Art

[0002] Currently, in equipment and devices such as electronics, energy storage, biomedicine, and electric vehicles, lithium batteries are widely applied. Therefore, the batteries used correspondingly are desired to have high energy density, high safety, and the advantages of maintaining high power storage and high discharge capacity even after long-term use. Therefore, lithium-ion batteries that meet these characteristic requirements are gradually attracting attention in the relevant academic and industrial circles.

[0003] Lithium-ion batteries have advantages such as light weight, high energy density, excellent cycle characteristics, and high output, and are gradually applied to high-output products such as power tools and electric vehicles. Based on the considerations of safety and cost required for the battery as the power source of an electric vehicle, the selection of solid electrolytes, colloidal electrolytes, and flame-retardant electrolytes has become the focus of improving the safety of lithium-ion batteries. However, although solid / colloidal electrolyte materials can solve the risk of electrolyte leakage, the impedance of their interface layer is still a problem to be solved in all fields, and it is not a product technology that can be commercialized in a short time. Therefore, the selection of an appropriate flame-retardant electrolyte is currently one of the directions that manufacturers are interested in.

[0004] One literature (Journal of Power Source, Volume 119-121, 1 June 2003, Pages 383-387) discloses that flame retardants containing organic phosphate compounds such as triphenyl phosphate (TPP) and tributyl phosphate (TBP) provide excellent thermal safety for lithium-ion batteries in a fully charged state. However, the molecular groups of most phosphorus-containing compounds are large, and the addition of excessive phosphorus-containing compounds increases the viscosity of the lithium-ion electrolyte, decreases the ionic conductivity, and has a great adverse impact on the rate performance of lithium-ion batteries. Another literature (Journal of Power Source, Volume 278, 15 March 2015, Pages 190-196) discloses a highly efficient flame retardant additive (ethoxy) pentafluorocyclotriphosphazene (also referred to as N3P3F5OCH2CH3, PFPN), which has been synthesized and is used as a safety protection additive for rechargeable lithium batteries. The PFPN additive is considered to be one of the most effective flame retardant additives in all literature reports so far. Through charge and discharge tests, the PFPN additive showed good electrochemical compatibility with the graphite anode and LiCoO2 cathode. At the same time, the incorporated PFPN additive can significantly improve the cycle performance at a high cut-off voltage of 4.5V for the LiCoO2 electrode, showing promising applicability for high-voltage lithium-ion batteries.

[0005] However, although the fluorine-containing phosphazene-based PFPN additive has a better effect than conventional phosphate ester-based flame retardants, its market price is too high, which affects the willingness of battery manufacturers to introduce it. Therefore, providing an electrolyte additive with a low price, a simple manufacturing process, and the ability to significantly improve battery safety is a problem that needs to be solved in the industry at present.

Examples

[0061] Hereinafter, various properties and effects of the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples. These detailed examples are only for explaining the properties of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to those exemplified by specific examples.

[0062] Production Example 1 1. Production of the compound of Formula 1-1: The compound of formula 1-1 of the present invention can be produced from the following synthetic scheme 1. Specifically, hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (1 g, 2.87 mmol, 1 eq) and acetone (20 mL) were mixed to form solution a, and 4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenol (3.94 g, 25.9 mmol, 9 eq) and acetone (60 mL) were mixed to form solution b.

After the reaction was completed, the solid was filtered off, and the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product. The crude product was repeatedly washed with methanol and water and then freeze-dried to obtain the compound of formula 1-1 in powder form. The NMR spectrum of the compound of formula 1-1 is shown in Figure 1A. <Synthetic Scheme 1>

[0063]

Chemical Formula

[0064] 2. Preparation of the Composition Used in the Electrochemical Device Ethylene carbonate (EC) was dissolved in diethyl carbonate (DEC) or dimethyl carbonate (DMC) at an equal weight ratio and mixed to obtain a mixed solution of EC:DEC:DMC (1:1:1) or EC:DEC (1:1). Next, after calculating the weight molar concentration, 11.8 wt% LiPF6 electrolyte was added to the mixed solution. Finally, 5 wt% or 7 wt% of an additive (the compound of formula 1-1 produced by the above method) was added by weight, stirred and uniformly mixed to prepare a composition used in the electrochemical device.

[0065] Production Examples 2 to 4 Preparation of Compounds of Formula 1-2 to 1-4: 4-(2-Methoxyethyl)phenol was used to prepare Compounds of Formula 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4, respectively, in the same production method as the Compound of Formula 1-1 in Production Example 1, except that it was changed to vanillyl butyl ether, vanillyl ethyl ether, and hydroquinone monomethyl ether (4-methoxyphenol). The NMR spectra of Compounds of Formula 1-2 to 1-4 are shown in Figures 1B to 1D, respectively.

[0066] Example 1: Flame Retardancy Test of Electrolyte A flame retardancy test was conducted using the Compound of Formula 1-1 obtained in Production Example 1 in the electrolyte, and the test method is as follows. 1. The Compound of Formula 1-1 and the commercially available flame retardant PFPN (pentafluoroethoxycyclotriphosphazene) were dissolved in a commercially available electrolyte (EC:DEC = 1:1, 1M LiPF6) in amounts of 0 and 5% by weight, respectively, to prepare the electrolyte to be measured. 2. 10 ml of the electrolyte to be measured was placed in a 20 ml sample bottle. A glass cloth with a length of 4 cm and a width of 1 cm was completely immersed in the electrolyte for 10 seconds and then taken out, and one end of the glass cloth was fixed to a test tube stand with a double clip. 3. A fixed ignition source (derived from a commercially available butane lighter) was brought into contact with the unfixed end of the glass cloth relative to the fixed end for 3 seconds and then removed, and the combustion phenomenon was continuously observed until the flame completely disappeared, and the combustion time was recorded. This time is calculated as the time from when the ignition source is removed until the fire completely disappears (self-extinguishing time). Test Results: The results of the flame retardancy test are summarized in Table 2 below. From the results of the addition concentration and self-extinguishing time, the Compound of Formula 1-1 has the effect of surely improving the flame retardancy of the electrolyte, and when the usage amount is 5%, the effect is shown to be superior to that of the commercially available flame retardant PFPN.

[0067] [Table 2]

[0068] Example 2: Cycle Life Test of LiFePO4 Coin Cells 1. Battery Assembly: Using LiFePO4 as the positive electrode, a lithium metal sheet as the negative electrode, a commercially available separator film (CelgardR 2325), and an electrolyte (1M LiPF6 in EC / DEC (1:1)), a coin cell was constructed and tested. 2. 1C Cycle Life Test: To the electrolyte of the assembled battery, the compound of Formula 1-1 was added at 0% (as the control group), 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% without addition respectively. At an environmental temperature of 25 °C, (1) it was charged to 4.0 V at a constant current of 1C, and then (2) it was discharged to 2.5 V under the discharge condition of a constant current of 1C. The above steps (1) and (2) were repeated to charge and discharge the battery, and the deterioration status of the battery capacity in the first 250 cycles (charge and discharge test device: Acutech Systems BAT-750B) was recorded. The test results, as shown in Figures 2A to 2E, revealed that regardless of the presence or absence of the addition of the compound of Formula 1-1 or the ratio of the addition amount, there was no significant effect on the cycle life of the battery within 250 cycles. The following Table 3 records the battery capacity of the first 5 cycles and the last 5 cycles in the cycle test with different addition ratios of the compound of Formula 1-1, as well as the battery capacity retention rate.

[0069]

[0070] Example 3: Rate Charge and Discharge Test Regarding the coin cells assembled in Example 2 above, the following were added to the electrolytes thereof: 0% (as a control group) without adding the compound of Formula 1-1, or 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% respectively. Charge-discharge tests (charge-discharge test apparatus: Acutech Systems BAT-750B) were conducted at different rates of 0.1C, 0.2C, 0.3C, 0.5C, and 1C at an environmental temperature of 25°C. As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3E, the test results revealed that there were no significant differences in the specific capacity at the same charge-discharge rate regardless of the presence or absence of the addition of the compound of Formula 1-1 or the ratio of the added amount. Table 4 below exemplarily records the discharge specific capacities at 0.1C and 1C rates for different addition ratios of the compound of Formula 1-1.

[0072] Example 4: Performance Test and Nail Penetration Test of NMC622 Ternary System Battery The laminated cells in this test used a battery with a cathode: LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 / anode: artificial graphite (also simply referred to as "NMC622 ternary system battery"), and the design of the battery is shown as follows in Table 5.

[0073]

Table 5

[0074] The laminated cell with 7% by weight of the compound of Formula 1-1 added was used as the test group, and the one without any flame retardant added was used as the control group. A battery performance test (analysis equipment: Keysight 34972A LXI) was carried out using a charge and discharge device (CT-4008T-5V6A-S1, NEWARE), and a nail penetration test was also carried out. The equipment for the nail penetration test is a customized product. In this equipment, steel nails and a control device are additionally installed in a metal box, a temperature and voltage monitor is installed outside, and a detection circuit is provided inside the equipment. The nail penetration test meets the regulations for the nail diameter and nail penetration speed in standards such as IEC60086-4:2000, UL1642-2007, and UL2054. The process of the battery performance test is shown as in Table 6 below, and the parameters of the nail penetration test are shown as in Table 7 below.

[0075]

Table 6

[0076]

Table 7

[0077] The results of the battery performance test and the nail penetration test are shown in Table 8, Figures 4A and 4B below. In the nail penetration test, it was observed that the test group with the compound of Formula 1-1 added had no ignition or smoke, and maintained the surface temperature at 30°C without significant increase, and the battery voltage did not change significantly. In contrast, the control group without any additive was observed to catch fire, burn, emit smoke, and the surface temperature increased rapidly, and the voltage dropped to 0V. The voltage change and temperature change in the nail penetration test of the test group and the control group are shown as in Figures 4A and 4B respectively. From the above results, it was clearly shown that the electrolyte prepared with the compound of Formula 1-1 of the present invention has improved results in the battery nail penetration safety test compared to the electrolyte without any additive.

[0079] From the above embodiments, when the phosphazene derivative of the present invention is used as an additive for the electrolyte of a lithium secondary battery, it not only has no significant effect on the performance of the battery, but also achieves an effect superior to that of the commercially available flame retardant PFPN in making the electrolyte flame retardant, and it has been clarified that the safety when the battery is damaged by an external force can be significantly improved. Therefore, the phosphazene derivative of the present invention is an innovative substance that is actually significantly effective and widely applicable.
