[0041] This application provides an electrolyte, a secondary battery containing the electrolyte, and a power consumption device containing the secondary battery. The electrolyte, secondary battery, and power consumption device of this application will be described in detail below.
[0042] electrolyte In one embodiment of the present invention, an electrolyte is provided comprising a solvent and an additive, wherein the solvent comprises a compound of formula I, and the mass ratio of the compound of formula I in the solvent is 35% or more.
[0043] [ka]
[0044] (In the formula, R1 and R2 are each independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a C1-C3 linear alkyl group, and a C2-C3 alkenyl group.)
[0045] The above additive contains the compound of formula II.
[0046] [ka]
[0047] (In the formula, R3, R4, and R5 are each independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a phenyl group, a cyano group, a C1-C6 linear alkyl group, a C3-C6 cyclic alkyl group, and a C2-C6 alkenyl group.)
[0048] Although the mechanism is not yet clear, the applicant unexpectedly discovered that by using a compound of formula I and a compound of formula II in the electrolyte and setting the content of compound I to a predetermined amount, it is possible to simultaneously consider good kinetic performance, high-temperature characteristics, and excellent overcharge prevention performance of the battery.
[0049] In batteries using lithium iron phosphate (e.g., LiFePO4, also known as LFP) as the positive electrode active material, the most common method to improve energy density is to increase the thickness of the coating on the positive electrode plate to improve the utilization rate of space inside the cell. However, thicker coatings create new problems. Increasing the thickness of the positive electrode coating lengthens the transport pathway for lithium ions within the electrode plate, making lithium ion transport more difficult and requiring further improvement in the conductivity of the electrolyte. This problem becomes increasingly serious as the thickness of the positive electrode coating increases.
[0050] To solve this problem, the applicant discovered that by using a low-viscosity, high-dielectric solvent (for example, the compound of formula I above) in the electrolyte, the conductivity of the electrolyte can be significantly improved, thereby mitigating the current situation where lithium ion transport is difficult due to thick coating. However, the oxidation potential of the compound of formula I is low and greatly affects the overcharge performance of the LFP cell. To reduce safety issues such as thermal runaway in the overcharged state of the battery, the applicant discovered that the safety of the battery can be improved by adding the compound of formula II above as an overcharge prevention additive to the electrolyte. However, the addition of overcharge prevention additives such as the compound of formula II affects the dynamic performance of the battery.
[0051] As a result of diligent research, the applicant has discovered that by adding a specific amount of the compound of formula I to an electrolyte containing the compound of formula II, the kinetic performance and high-temperature performance of the battery can be improved. This allows for the simultaneous consideration of good kinetic performance, high-temperature performance, and overcharge prevention performance through the synergistic effect of the specific amounts of the compound of formula I and the compound of formula II.
[0052] In some embodiments, the compound of formula I above includes methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, methyl acrylate, and ethyl acrylate. Preferably, the compound of formula I includes at least one selected from methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, methyl acrylate, and ethyl acrylate. More preferably, it includes methyl formate and ethyl acetate. These compounds are used as solvents for the electrolyte, and because these compounds have lower viscosity and higher dielectric constant than linear carbonates, adding these compounds to the electrolyte and replacing linear carbonates can effectively improve the conductivity of the electrolyte, thereby further improving the dynamic performance of the battery.
[0053] The solvent of the electrolyte in this application contains the compound of formula I, and the mass ratio of the compound of formula I in the solvent is 35% or more, preferably 40% to 70%, and more preferably 50% to 60%. If the mass ratio of the compound of formula I in the solvent is less than 35%, the conductivity decreases, the initial DCR (Directive Current Resistance) increases, and the dynamic performance of the battery decreases. Therefore, by setting the mass ratio of the compound of formula I in the solvent within the above range, this application ensures that the electrolyte has high conductivity and low viscosity and can be applied to thick coating systems, thereby further improving the dynamic performance of the battery. Furthermore, if the mass ratio of the compound of formula I in the solvent is greater than 70%, it is disadvantageous for overcharge prevention performance.
[0054] Furthermore, in this application, the solvent of the electrolyte may further contain one or more carbonate esters selected from ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethylmethyl carbonate (EMC), and diethyl carbonate (DEC). The mass ratio of the above carbonate esters in the solvent may be 30% or more, preferably 35% to 65%, and more preferably 40% to 50%. Preferably, ethylene carbonate is included, and more preferably, the mass ratio of the ethylene carbonate in the solvent is 30% or more. By including ethylene carbonate in the solvent and setting the mass ratio of ethylene carbonate in the solvent within the above range, sufficient dissociation of the electrolyte, especially the lithium salt, can be ensured, a stable film can be formed on the negative electrode, and thereby the stability of the negative electrode interface can be improved.
[0055] In some embodiments, the electrolyte of the present invention contains the compound of formula II as an additive, and the compound of formula II functions as an overcharge inhibitor. Preferably, the compound of formula II may include at least one selected from biphenyl, fluorobenzene, and cyclohexylbenzene. The present invention can further improve overcharge prevention performance by using the above compound as an overcharge inhibitor. The present invention preferably includes fluorobenzene. When the cell is overcharged, the voltage rises, the overcharge prevention additive polymerizes, and the polymerization forms an insulating film on the electrode surface, increasing the internal resistance of the battery, reducing or cutting off the overcharge current, and improving the safety performance of the battery. On the other hand, a large amount of heat is released, and the fluorobenzene-based substance polymerizes at high voltage to become a fluorine-containing polymer, resulting in better high-temperature resistance. Furthermore, compared to other benzene ring-based substances, fluorobenzene-based substances readily bond with electrons through fluorine substitution, and to some extent can suppress the reduction side reaction of the compound of formula I at the negative electrode.
[0056] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the compound of formula II in the electrolyte is 9% or less, preferably 3% to 8%, more preferably 3% to 7%, even more preferably 3% to 6%, and particularly preferably 3% to 5%. If the content of the compound of formula II is too high, it is detrimental to the conductivity of the electrolyte, and therefore detrimental to the dynamic performance of the battery. If the content of the compound of formula II is too low, it is detrimental to the overcharge prevention performance. By setting the mass ratio of the compound of formula II in the electrolyte within the above range, the present invention can further improve the overcharge prevention performance without affecting the conductivity of the electrolyte.
[0057] In some embodiments, the electrolyte satisfies a / b ≥ 11, preferably 11 ≤ a / b ≤ 35, more preferably 11 ≤ a / b ≤ 33, even more preferably 15 ≤ a / b ≤ 30, and particularly preferably 16 ≤ a / b ≤ 27. a is the mass ratio of the compound of formula I in the solvent, and b is the mass ratio of the compound of formula II in the electrolyte. The present invention can further improve dynamic performance by setting a / b within the above range.
[0058] On the other hand, because LFP material itself is highly absorbent, moisture in the positive electrode plate cannot be completely removed during the cell production process when packaging before electrolyte injection. In subsequent use, moisture in the positive electrode plate gradually diffuses into the electrolyte, causing a side reaction with lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in the electrolyte, generating hydrogen fluoride, which destroys the SEI (solid electrolyte interphase) film, reduces the stability of the negative electrode interface, and accelerates cycle decay. The applicant has discovered that using a water-insensitive lithium salt (for example, the compound of formula III below) can reduce the effect of moisture on the electrode plate and avoid side reactions between the lithium salt and water. However, like the compound of formula I, the compound of formula III also has a low oxidation potential, which significantly affects the overcharge performance of the LFP cell. By adding the compound of formula II above to the electrolyte as an overcharge prevention additive, the objective of improving battery safety can be achieved.
[0059] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the electrolyte of the present application comprises an electrolyte salt, which preferably comprises a compound of formula III.
[0060] [ka]
[0061] (R6 and R7 are independently an F atom and a fluoroalkyl group, respectively. The alkyl group of the fluoroalkyl group may be a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, etc., and the fluoroalkyl group may be a partially fluorinated alkyl group or a fully fluorinated alkyl group, for example lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, lithium bis(nonafluorobutanesulfonyl)imide, lithium bis(pentafluoroethanesulfonyl)imide (C4F) 10 LiNO4S2 is one example. Furthermore, R6 and R7 can be linked to form a ring, such as 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane-1,3-disulfonimide lithium (C3F6LiNO4S2).
[0062] In some embodiments, the compound of formula III preferably comprises at least one selected from lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI) and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). More preferably, it comprises lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI). The lithium salt is insensitive to moisture and can mitigate the adverse effects of increased moisture due to thickening of the electrode plates. Therefore, by selecting the compound of formula III as the electrolyte salt, the water resistance of the electrolyte can be further improved, and the thermal cycling characteristics of the battery, particularly at 45°C, can be improved.
[0063] The molar ratio of the compound of formula III in the electrolyte salt may be 10% or more, preferably 20% or more, more preferably 30% or more, even more preferably 40%, particularly preferably 50% or more, and also preferably 80% or less, more preferably 75% or less, even more preferably 70% or less, and particularly preferably 60% or less. By setting the molar ratio of the compound of formula III in the electrolyte salt within the above range, the resistance of the electrolyte to water can be improved.
[0064] Furthermore, the electrolyte salt may further contain lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6). While lithium hexafluorophosphate has high oxidation resistance, it has low thermal stability and is prone to decomposition when in contact with water. The electrolyte of this invention contains a lithium salt of the compound of formula III, and these lithium salts have high thermal stability. Therefore, oxidation resistance and thermal stability can be obtained by adding lithium hexafluorophosphate and a lithium salt of the compound of formula III.
[0065] In some embodiments, the electrolyte of the present application may further contain additives such as vinylene carbonate (VC), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), ethylene sulfate (DTD), 1,3-propanesultone (PS), lithium difluorobisoxalatophosphate (LiDFOP), lithium difluorooxalatoborate (LiDFOB), and lithium bisoxalatoborate (LiBOB). Vinylene carbonate (VC), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), ethylene sulfate (DTD), and 1,3-propanesultone (PS) can function as film-forming additives. When vinylene carbonate (VC) and 1,3-propanesultone (PS) function as film-forming additives, the impedance is high but the film-forming stability is high, while when fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and ethylene sulfate (DTD) function as film-forming additives, the impedance is low but the film-forming stability is low. Furthermore, additives such as lithium difluorobisoxalatophosphate (LiDFOP), lithium difluorooxalatoborate (LiDFOB), and lithium bisoxalatoborate (LiBOB) are not sensitive to moisture and can mitigate the adverse effects of increased moisture content caused by thickening the electrode plates. Therefore, by adding these additives, the cycle characteristics and stability of the battery can be further improved.
[0066] In some embodiments, the conductivity of the electrolyte of the present invention at 25°C is 13 mS / cm or higher, and may be, for example, 14 mS / cm to 18 mS / cm, 15 mS / cm to 17 mS / cm, or 16 mS / cm to 17 mS / cm. If the conductivity of the electrolyte is too low, the dynamic performance of the electrolyte will be insufficient; if the coating thickness of the positive electrode plate is too high, the dynamic performance of the battery will be affected; and if the conductivity of the electrolyte is too high, the thermal stability of the electrolyte will be insufficient, and the high-temperature performance of the battery will be affected. When the conductivity of the electrolyte of the present invention at 25°C is within the above range, the dynamic performance of the electrolyte can be improved, as well as the high and low temperature performance and energy density of the battery can be improved.
[0067] secondary battery A second aspect of the present invention provides a secondary battery containing the above-mentioned electrolyte. The secondary battery of the present invention can simultaneously consider good kinetic performance, high-temperature performance, and excellent overcharge prevention performance.
[0068] The secondary battery of this application may be a lithium-ion secondary battery or the like. Typically, a secondary battery includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, an electrolyte, and a separator. During the charging and discharging process of the battery, active ions are inserted and removed by reciprocating between the positive and negative electrode plates. The electrolyte plays a role in conducting ions between the positive and negative electrode plates. The separator is interposed between the positive and negative electrode plates and mainly plays a role in preventing short circuits between the positive and negative electrodes, while allowing ions to pass through.
[0069] [Positive electrode plate] The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode coating layer provided on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode coating layer containing a positive electrode active material.
[0070] For example, the positive electrode current collector has two opposing surfaces in the direction of its own thickness, and the positive electrode coating layer is applied to one or two of the two opposing surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.
[0071] The positive electrode current collector may be a metal foil sheet or a composite current collector. For example, aluminum foil may be used as the metal foil sheet.

[0072] The positive electrode active material may be any positive electrode active material for batteries known in the art. For example, the positive electrode active material may include an olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate, which can extend the battery's cycle life. The positive electrode active material may further include lithium transition metal oxides and their modified compounds. However, this application is not limited to these materials, and other conventional materials used as positive electrode active materials for batteries may be used.

[0073] The above positive electrode coating layer preferably further comprises an adhesive. As an example, the adhesive may include at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and fluorine-containing acrylic resin.
[0074] The above positive electrode coating layer preferably further comprises a conductive agent. As an example, the conductive agent may include at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0075] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode coating layer on one side is 0.08 mm or more, preferably 0.09 mm to 0.3 mm.
[0076] In some embodiments, the positive electrode plate may be manufactured by dispersing the above-mentioned components for manufacturing the positive electrode plate, such as a positive electrode active material, a conductive agent, and an adhesive, and any other components, in a solvent (e.g., N-methylpyrrolidone) to form a positive electrode slurry, applying the positive electrode slurry to a positive electrode current collector, and obtaining the positive electrode plate by performing processes such as drying and cold pressing.
[0077] [Negative electrode plate] The negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode coating layer installed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode coating layer containing a negative electrode active material.
[0078] For example, the negative electrode current collector has two opposing surfaces in the direction of its own thickness, and the negative electrode coating layer is installed on one or two of the two opposing surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.

[0137] [Table 1A] [Table 1B] [Table 1C] [Table 1D] [Table 1E] [Table 1F]
[0138] Note: In Table 1, The content of each solvent is expressed as the mass ratio of each solvent to the total solvent mass. The content of each additive is expressed as the mass ratio of each additive in the electrolyte. a is the mass ratio of the compound of formula I to the total solvent mass. b is the mass ratio of the compound additive of formula II in the electrolyte. L = M1 / [M2 × B × (a + c)] * 1000 (wherein M1 is the mass of the additive compound in formula II, in units of g; M2 is the mass of the positive electrode active material, in units of g; and B is the specific surface area of the positive electrode active material, in units of m) 2 (where / g, the meaning of a is the same as above, and c is the molar ratio of the electrolyte salt of the compound in formula III in the electrolyte salt.)
[0139] The testing method is as follows:
[0140] (1) Initial DCR (Directive Current Resistance) At room temperature, the batteries of each example and comparative example were charged to 3.65V with a constant current of 0.5C, then charged with a constant voltage to a current of 0.05C, and the batteries were discharged with a constant current of 0.5C for 30 minutes to adjust the batteries to 50% SOC, with the battery voltage at this time being defined as U1. The batteries were then discharged with a constant current of 4C for 30 seconds, with data collected at 0.1-second intervals, and the discharge end voltage was defined as U2. The initial DCR of the battery was expressed as the discharge DCR at 50% SOC, and the initial DCR of the battery was defined as (U1-U2) / 4C.
[0141] (2) High-temperature cycle performance of the battery At 45°C, the batteries of each example and comparative example were charged to 3.65V with a constant current of 1.0C, then charged again with a constant voltage to a current of 0.05C, the batteries were left to stand for 5 minutes, and then discharged to 2.5V with a constant current of 1.0C. This was the first charge-discharge cycle of the battery, and the discharge capacity recorded was considered to be the discharge capacity of the battery's first cycle. Using the above method, the battery underwent 100 charge-discharge cycles, and the discharge capacity of the battery after 100 cycles was recorded. The capacity retention rate (%) of the battery after 100 cycles at 45°C is calculated as follows: (Discharge capacity of the battery after 100 cycles / Discharge capacity of the battery in the first cycle) × 100%.
[0142] (3) Battery overcharge protection performance At 25°C, the batteries of each example and comparative example are charged to 3.65V with a constant current and voltage of 1C, with a cutoff current of 0.05C. Once the batteries are fully charged, they are charged with a constant current of 1C until the voltage reaches 6V, and observed for 1 hour to check whether the batteries ignite and explode. If only smoke is emitted without ignition or explosion, the test is considered passed. If ignition or explosion occurs, the test is considered failed, and the above procedure is repeated 30 times, recording the number of times the test is passed (number of overcharge passes).
[0143] As can be seen from the results above, Examples 1 to 23 all possess excellent kinetic performance, high-temperature performance, and superior overcharge prevention performance, and can achieve good results.
[0144] In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, the desired effect was not obtained because the content of the compound of formula I was not within the scope of the present invention. In particular, the initial DCR increased to 3.6. In Comparative Example 2, the desired effect was not obtained because the compound of formula I was not added. In particular, the initial DCR increased significantly to 6.0, and the battery dynamics became significantly lower. In Comparative Example 3, no promising effect was obtained because the compound of formula II was not added. In particular, the overcharge prevention performance became significantly lower. As can be seen from the above, by using specific amounts of the compound of formula I and the compound of formula II in combination, it is possible to consider good dynamic performance, high-temperature performance, and excellent overcharge prevention performance of the battery.
[0145] Furthermore, this application is not limited to the embodiments described above. The embodiments described above are merely examples, and any embodiment that has substantially the same configuration as the technical idea and exhibits the same effects within the scope of the technical invention of this application is included within the scope of the technical invention of this application. In addition, other forms that combine some of the components of the embodiments by making various modifications to the embodiments that a person skilled in the art could conceive of, without departing from the gist of this application, are also included within the scope of this application.
