Abstract
Description
Semi-solid battery electrolyte precursor, semi-solid battery electrolyte, semi-solid battery and preparation method thereof
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 2024112817445 filed on September 12, 2024 with the China Patent Office, the whole content of the above application is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in electronic products and electric vehicles. Although great achievements have been made in high energy density battery systems, electrolyte leakage, battery short circuit and other situations are still a great safety hazard, which seriously hinders the further development of lithium-ion batteries. When there is internal or external short circuit, the poor exothermic reaction can cause the internal temperature to rise rapidly and thermal runaway.
[0003] The solid-state battery is proposed to improve and replace the traditional liquid electrolyte, and fundamentally solve the safety situation. In the all-solid-state battery, a thermally stable solid-state polymer electrolyte or inorganic solid-state electrolyte is used instead of a liquid electrolyte, which helps to avoid electrolyte leakage and combustion explosion. BACKGROUND
[0004] Battery pack is an important part of new energy technology, which can provide energy and power for electrical equipment. The battery pack on the market is generally composed of multiple battery cells in series and / or parallel connection, and equipped with single battery monitoring and thermal management device. TECHNICAL PROBLEM
[0005] However, the all-solid-state battery still has some situations, such as poor contact between the electrolyte and the electrode, and lack of scalable preparation technology. In order to solve these challenges of all-solid-state batteries, constructing semi-solid-state batteries through in-situ polymerization technology is considered to be one of the most promising solutions to improve the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries. Gel electrolyte combines the advantages of liquid electrolyte and solid polymer electrolyte, and has good ionic conductivity and interface compatibility. In the lithium-ion battery, the gel electrolyte can adjust the uniform distribution of lithium ion flow, inhibit the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte, improve the electrode stability and the safety of the battery. The semi-solid-state battery prepared by using gel electrolyte has high safety and high energy density, and has great development potential compared with traditional liquid batteries.
[0006] In-situ polymerization process is a method for preparing semi-solid batteries. It has broad development prospects because it is compatible with related battery preparation processes and does not require changes to a large number of processes to achieve mass production. The semi-solid battery prepared by in-situ polymerization has a high DCIR compared with the liquid system because the monomer polymerization degree is difficult to control, the initiator residue causes more interface side reactions, and the like. The related process usually uses a precursor solution to inject liquid, perform formation, and then solidify at high temperature, so that the polymerized monomer participates in the SEI film formation during the formation stage, forming an interface with high impedance. The process route is optimized, the precursor solution is injected, high-temperature solidification is performed first, and then formation is performed, but the initial DCIR of the battery is still high. This is mainly because the high-temperature solidification stage consumes the film-forming additive containing unsaturated bonds, and the monomer is not completely polymerized, resulting in residue. The residual monomer may participate in the SEI film formation during the subsequent formation stage, thereby increasing the DCIR of the battery. There have been reports of process improvements to improve the DCIR of gel semi-solid batteries through secondary injection. The first injection is a liquid electrolyte, and the second injection is a mixed solution of electrolyte, monomer, and initiator after formation. Although this method can reduce the DCIR of the battery to some extent, it increases the complexity of the process and the time cost. Technical solutions
