Description

Electrolyte additive for secondary batteries, non-aqueous electrolyte for lithium secondary batteries containing the same, and lithium secondary batteries containing the same

[0001] The present invention relates to an electrolyte additive for secondary batteries. More specifically, the present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte additive that prevents electrolyte decomposition and gas generation at the interface between the positive electrode and the electrolyte, and a non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery comprising the same. The present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte additive that can form a robust cathode electrolyte interphase layer (CEI layer), and a non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery comprising the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery comprising a phosphorus compound of the fluorinated phosphazene series that can form a cathode electrolyte interphase layer (CEI layer) on the surface of the positive electrode. The phosphorus compound coordinates with a transition metal of the positive electrode to enhance the stability of the metal and the positive electrode active material, and further suppresses side reactions between the positive electrode and the electrolyte. The present invention also relates to a lithium secondary battery comprising such a non-aqueous electrolyte. The lithium secondary battery of the present invention has improved high-temperature performance by including the non-aqueous electrolyte.

[0002] Lithium secondary batteries are not only used as portable power sources for mobile phones, laptops, and other devices, but their applications are also expanding to medium- to large-scale power sources for electric bicycles and electric vehicles (EVs). This expansion of applications is driving the demand for lithium secondary batteries that can maintain superior performance not only at room temperature but also in harsher environments, such as high and low temperatures.

[0003] The lithium secondary batteries widely used today are generally composed of a carbon-based negative electrode that allows the insertion and deintercalation of lithium ions, a transition metal oxide-based positive electrode containing lithium, a non-aqueous electrolyte in which a lithium salt is dissolved in a mixed carbonate-based organic solvent, and a separator that prevents contact between the positive and negative electrodes. When a lithium secondary battery is charged, the lithium atoms in the positive electrode are ionized into lithium ions and electrons, and the electrons move to the negative electrode through an external circuit. The lithium ions then cross the non-aqueous electrolyte and the separator to the negative electrode and are intercalated into the carbon negative electrode. When discharging, the electrons move to the positive electrode through an external circuit, and at the same time, the lithium ions are deintercalated from the carbon negative electrode and cross the non-aqueous electrolyte and the separator to the positive electrode, where the lithium ions and electrons meet to form lithium atoms in a stable state. Lithium secondary batteries generate electrical energy by repeating this charging and discharging cycle.

[0004] Demand for large-scale devices such as electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) is increasing. Large-scale devices require longer driving and operating times. Therefore, active research is being conducted to develop materials that can increase the energy density of lithium-ion secondary batteries. Among these materials, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (Li(Ni)) with a layered structure with a high nickel content is x Co y Mn z )O2) is attracting attention. Lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (Li(Ni x Co y Mn z )O2) is commonly referred to as NCM. Generally, when the nickel content is 60% or higher, it is called high nickel content NCM.

[0005] However, NCM materials with high nickel content suffer from poor cycle characteristics due to poor interfacial stability. The high reactivity of nickel accelerates the electrochemical decomposition of the electrolyte at the interface between the cathode and the electrolyte. This leads to the accumulation of by-products resulting from the decomposition of the electrolyte on the surface of the cathode. These by-products hinder the movement of lithium ions between the cathode and the electrolyte, increasing the interfacial resistance between the cathode and the electrolyte. Consequently, the cycle characteristics of the secondary battery deteriorate significantly. The electrochemical decomposition of the electrolyte generates gas, which causes the secondary battery to swell.

[0006] One way to prevent electrolyte decomposition on the nickel-rich NCM electrode surface is to add a special additive to the electrolyte. This additive forms a cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) layer on the surface of the nickel-rich NCM cathode through an electrochemical reaction. The CEI layer allows lithium ions to move between the electrode and the electrolyte, but prevents electrons from moving. Thus, the CEI layer effectively minimizes electrolyte decomposition.

[0007] In addition to using NCM with a high nickel content to achieve high-capacity secondary batteries, increasing the operating voltage is also a method. However, using NCM with a high nickel content or using high voltage causes the layered structure of the cathode to collapse, generating reactive oxygen species. These reactive oxygen species react with the electrolyte solvent to generate gas. Regardless of the type of gas generated, this gas increases the internal pressure of the lithium secondary battery, acts as a resistance to lithium movement, expands the volume (thickness) of the secondary battery, poses a significant challenge to weight reduction, and degrades the battery's performance. These factors, along with the collapse of the cathode's layered structure and the electrochemical oxidation that decomposes the electrolyte, degrade the performance of the secondary battery. In order to suppress such performance degradation, a technology is being developed to add an additive capable of forming a coordination bond to the metal oxide of the anode to the electrolyte so that a stable anode-electrolyte interface film (CEI layer) is formed on the surface of the anode, the additive provides a coordination bond to the anode so that the charging structure of the anode does not collapse, and prevents the generation of active oxygen at the anode according to this mechanism, thereby increasing the structural stability of the anode and preventing the electrolyte from oxidizing by suppressing contact between the electrolyte and the anode.

[0008] Additives that can be coordinated to the positive electrode can form a coordination bond with the positive electrode metal and donate electrons to the positive electrode metal, thereby strengthening the bond between the positive electrode metal and oxygen, i.e., the bonding strength of the metal oxide. Therefore, additives that can be coordinated to the positive electrode can suppress the generation of reactive oxygen species due to the collapse of the layered structure, thereby reducing gas generation. Furthermore, additives that can be coordinated to the positive electrode can inhibit the contact between the solvent and the positive electrode, thereby reducing the electrochemical decomposition of the solvent and suppressing gas generation. Thus, the high-temperature storage characteristics and lifespan characteristics of secondary batteries can be improved.

[0009] Therefore, in order to improve the high-temperature storage characteristics and lifespan characteristics of lithium secondary batteries, there is a continuous need for the development of additives that can form coordination bonds to the positive electrode to prevent the collapse of the layered structure of the positive electrode, suppress the generation of active oxygen, suppress side reactions between the positive electrode and electrolyte, and suppress the generation of gas within the secondary battery.

[0010] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery including an additive capable of forming a coordination bond on the surface of a positive electrode.

[0087] The compound including the phosphorus of the fluorinated phosphazene series may more preferably be included in an amount of 0.1 to 5 wt%, 0.1 to 3 wt%, or 0.1 to 2 wt% based on the total weight of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

[0088] If the compound including the phosphorus of the fluorinated phosphazene series is included in an amount of less than 0.05 wt% based on the total weight of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery, the high-temperature storage characteristics or life characteristics of the lithium secondary battery are not sufficient, and conversely, if the compound including the phosphorus of the fluorinated phosphazene series is included in an amount exceeding 20 wt% based on the total weight of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery, the problem of deterioration of the high-temperature storage characteristics or life characteristics occurs due to an increase in the internal resistance and a decrease in the capacity of the secondary battery.

[0093] The above-mentioned additional additive may more preferably be included in an amount of 0.05 to 5 wt%, specifically 0.05 to 3 wt%, based on the total weight of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

[0094] If the above-mentioned additional additive is included in an amount of less than 0.05 wt% based on the total weight of the electrolyte for lithium secondary batteries, the effect of forming a film on the electrode is minimal, and thus the effect of suppressing side reactions between the electrode and the electrolyte may be reduced. If the above-mentioned electrolyte additive is included in an amount exceeding 20 wt% based on the total weight of the electrolyte for lithium secondary batteries, an excessively thick film may be formed on the electrode surface, increasing the interfacial resistance and causing problems such as reduced capacity.

[0096] It is preferable to use a lithium salt having a high lattice energy dissociation degree, excellent ionic conductivity, and superior thermal stability and oxidation resistance. The lithium salt acts as a passage for lithium ions within the secondary battery, thereby enabling the basic operation of the lithium secondary battery.

[0097] The concentration of the lithium salt may be included in a range of 0.1 to 2.5 M (mol / L) based on the total amount of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

[0099] The concentration of the lithium salt may be more preferably comprised at 0.7 to 1.6 M (mol / L), taking into account properties related to electrical conductivity and viscosity related to mobility of lithium ions.

[0100] If the concentration of the lithium salt is less than 0.1 M, the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery decreases, thereby reducing the performance of the non-aqueous electrolyte for rapidly transferring ions between the positive and negative electrodes of the lithium secondary battery. If the concentration of the lithium salt exceeds 2.5 M, the viscosity of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery increases, thereby reducing the mobility of lithium ions and causing a problem in that the performance of the secondary battery deteriorates at low temperatures.

[0101] The above non-aqueous organic solvent may be a linear carbonate solvent, a cyclic carbonate solvent, an ester solvent, or a mixed solvent thereof.

[0102] The linear carbonate solvent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), dipropyl carbonate (DPC), ethyl propyl carbonate (EPC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and methyl propyl carbonate (MPC).

[0103] In addition, the cyclic carbonate solvent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), 1,2-butylene carbonate (BC), vinylene carbonate (VC), and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC).

[0104] The above ester solvent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of methyl acetate (MA), ethyl acetate (EA), propyl acetate (PA), methyl propionate (MP), ethyl propionate (EP), propyl propionate (PP), and butyl propionate (BP).

[0105] It may be desirable to use a mixture of a high-dielectric constant cyclic carbonate organic solvent having high ionic conductivity that can improve the charge / discharge performance of a secondary battery and a low-viscosity linear carbonate organic solvent that can appropriately control the viscosity of the high-dielectric constant carbonate organic solvent.

[0106] Specifically, a high-dielectric constant carbonate organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), and mixtures thereof, which are cyclic carbonate solvents, and a low-viscosity carbonate organic solvent selected from the group consisting of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and mixtures thereof, which are linear carbonate solvents, can be used in combination.

[0107] The above cyclic carbonate solvent has a large polarity and can sufficiently dissociate lithium ions, but has a large viscosity and thus has a disadvantage of low ion conductivity. Therefore, by mixing and using a linear carbonate solvent with a small polarity but low viscosity with the above cyclic carbonate solvent, the characteristics of a lithium secondary battery can be optimized.

[0108] Therefore, it may be desirable to use a mixture of at least one solvent selected from the cyclic carbonate solvent and at least one solvent selected from the linear carbonate solvent as the non-aqueous organic solvent.

[0109] The mixed solvent of the linear carbonate solvent and the cyclic carbonate solvent can be used by mixing the linear carbonate solvent and the cyclic carbonate solvent in a volume ratio of 9:1 to 1:9.

[0110] In terms of the life characteristics and storage characteristics of a secondary battery, it may be more preferable to use a mixed solvent of the linear carbonate solvent and the cyclic carbonate solvent in a volume ratio of 2:8 to 8:2.

[0111] The non-aqueous organic solvent may include ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and diethyl carbonate (DEC).

[0112] The non-aqueous organic solvent may include 5 to 40 wt% of the ethylene carbonate (EC), 5 to 20 wt% of the propylene carbonate (PC), 10 to 70 wt% of the ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and 10 to 60 wt% of the diethyl carbonate (DEC).

[0113] Specifically, among the cyclic carbonate solvents, ethylene carbonate (EC) or propylene carbonate (PC) having a high dielectric constant can be used. When artificial graphite is used as the negative electrode active material, it is preferable to use the ethylene carbonate (EC). Among the linear carbonate solvents, it is preferable to use dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), or diethyl carbonate (DEC) having a low viscosity.

[0114] The non-aqueous organic solvent may be included in an amount of 5% to 80% of the total amount of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery. The non-aqueous organic solvent may be included in an amount of 5% to 70% of the total amount of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

[0173] <Experimental Example 1> Measurement of high temperature (45℃) life capacity retention rate

[0174] A pouch-shaped lithium secondary battery manufactured using the electrolyte for lithium secondary batteries of the above examples and comparative examples was charged to 4.2 V at a 1 C rate at a high temperature (45°C), followed by a 10-minute rest period, discharged to 2.7 V at a 1 C rate, and then rested for another 10 minutes. The above process was repeated 500 times, and the discharge capacity (mAh) and life-cycle capacity retention rate (retention, %) of the battery were measured. The measured discharge capacities and life-cycle capacity retention rates of the secondary batteries were compared, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0175] 1-time discharge capacity (mAh) 500-time discharge capacity (mAh) Life-span capacity retention rate (%) Example 1 131.29 78.58 6.5 Comparative example 1 139.59 10.57 9.9 Comparative example 2 1129.79 29.78 2.3

[0176] As shown in Table 2 above, the results of the life evaluation at high temperatures showed that the lithium secondary battery of the above example had a higher life capacity retention rate at high temperatures than the lithium secondary battery of the above comparative example.

[0177] Therefore, it was confirmed that the lithium secondary battery of the above example had a high life capacity retention rate without deterioration in high-temperature life performance of the secondary battery compared to the lithium secondary battery of the comparative example by including an electrolyte containing the compound represented by the chemical formula 1. In other words, the compound additive of the chemical formula 1 improved the life capacity retention rate at high temperatures without deterioration in performance due to side reactions with other additives.

[0178] <Experimental Example 2> Measurement of high-temperature (60℃) storage characteristics

[0179] The volume change rate, capacity retention rate, and capacity recovery rate of the pouch-type lithium secondary batteries manufactured using the electrolytes for lithium secondary batteries of the above examples and comparative examples were measured after storing them at a high temperature (60°C) for 6 weeks. Table 3 below shows the results of the volume change rate, capacity retention rate, and capacity recovery rate of the secondary batteries after 6 weeks of storage at a high temperature (60°C) compared to week 0.

[0181] As shown in Table 3, the volume increase rate of the secondary battery of the example was lower than that of the secondary battery of the comparative example. This demonstrates that the additive of the present invention has the effect of suppressing gas generation.

[0182] Additionally, as shown in Table 3, the secondary battery of the example had a higher capacity retention rate and capacity recovery rate than the secondary battery of the comparative example. From this, it can be seen that the additive of the present invention is an additive with excellent capacity retention rate and capacity recovery rate after 6 weeks.

[0183] From the above experimental results, it can be seen that the additive of the present invention is an additive that has excellent high-temperature life characteristics at 45°C, suppresses gas generation, and has excellent age retention and capacity recovery rate.
