AI Technical Summary
Lithium-ion electrochemical elements experience rapid capacity loss at elevated temperatures due to secondary reactions at electrode interfaces, leading to unstable passivation layers that reduce cycling lifetime.
An electrolyte composition comprising methyl propionate, fluorinated alkyl ethers, lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imidide, and negative electrode passivation additives like ethylene monofluorocarbonate or vinylene carbonate is used to stabilize passivation layers, enhancing cycling life.
The new electrolyte composition improves the cycling lifespan of lithium-ion cells, particularly under high potential conditions, by forming stable and less soluble passivation layers, thus maintaining capacity.

Description
Description Title of the invention: Electrolyte composition for lithium-ion electrochemical element technical field
[0001] This presentation falls within the technical field of electrolyte compositions for lithium-ion type electrochemical elements. Background
[0002] Lithium-ion electrochemical elements are known from the prior art. They are commonly used in many fields such as automotive, telecommunications, electronic devices, and aerospace. Their operating principle is based on the reversible exchange of lithium ions between the active material of a positive electrode (cathode), most often a lithium oxide of a transition metal or a lithium phosphate of a transition metal, and the active material of a negative electrode (anode), for example, graphite. The negative and positive electrodes are separated by a separator. The assembly formed by the negative electrode, the positive electrode, and the separator constitutes an electrochemical beam.The electrochemical beam is impregnated with an organic electrolyte, often liquid, usually composed of a mixture of cyclic or linear alkyl carbonates in which a lithium salt is dissolved, for example lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPFe.
[0003] Lithium-ion electrochemical elements experience a more rapid loss of capacity when exposed to temperatures above room temperature (20-25°C). One cause of this loss is the presence of secondary reactions at the interfaces between the positive electrode(s) and the electrolyte, and between the negative electrode(s) and the electrolyte. The formation of passivation layers on the electrode surfaces, known as SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interphase) at the negative electrode and CEI (Cathode Electrolyte Interphase) at the positive electrode, helps to limit these secondary reactions and thus reduce the capacity loss during cycling. These passivation layers form spontaneously when the positive and negative electrodes come into contact with the electrolyte. They are primarily composed of the electrolyte's redox products.Their composition and therefore their stability over time depend both on the nature of the materials of the positive and negative electrodes and on the composition of the electrolyte.
[0004] We therefore sought to improve the cycling lifetime of an electrochemical element by modifying the composition of the electrolyte in order to create more stable and less soluble passivation layers over time.
[0005] Document WO 2024 / 011322 describes a lithium-ion electrochemical element comprising: - a linear ester and / or a cyclic ester as solvent(s), - a thinner, and - an alkali metal salt. Summary
[0006] An electrolyte composition has been discovered that improves the cycling lifetime of a lithium-ion cell. The electrolyte composition according to the invention comprises: - one or more solvents, one of which is methyl propionate (MP), - one or more diluents selected from a fluorinated alkyl ether, fluorobenzene, 1,2-di-fluorobenzene and its isomers, 1,2,3-trifluorobenzene and its isomers, 1,2,3,4-tetrafluorobenzene and its isomers, pentafluorobenzene, hexafluorobenzene, 2-fluorotoluene and its isomers and a mixture thereof, the volume proportion of said one or more diluents representing from 50 to 80% of the total volume of said one or more solvents and said one or more diluents, - lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide Li(FSÛ2)2N (LiFSI), - a negative electrode passivation additive selected from ethylene monofluorocarbonate (FEC), vinylene carbonate (VC) and a mixture thereof.
[0007] The association of methyl propionate, said one or more diluents as stated above, lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imidide and the passivation additive allows an improvement in the cycling life of the element compared with an electrochemical element containing a conventional electrolyte consisting of a mixture of one or more cyclic alkyl carbonate(s) with one or more linear alkyl carbonate(s) in which LiPFe is dissolved.
[0008] It has been observed that the electrolyte according to the invention can be used in a lithium-ion element comprising a positive electrode based on a lithium phosphate of at least one transition metal operating at an average potential greater than or equal to 3.6 V vs. Li + / Li.

Detailed description of the implementation methods Electrolyte:
[0029] The electrolyte contains methyl propionate (MP), which is a linear ester. The low viscosity of methyl propionate allows for good performance of the element at low temperatures. Methyl propionate can be combined with one or more solvents. These can be chosen from: - saturated cyclic alkyl carbonates other than ethylene monofluorocarbonate (FEC), - unsaturated cyclic alkyl carbonates other than vinylene carbonate (VC), - saturated or unsaturated linear alkyl carbonates, - linear esters other than methyl propionate, - cyclic esters, - linear ethers other than fluorinated alkyl ethers, and - cyclic ethers.
[0030] Methyl propionate can be associated with one or more cyclic alkyl carbonates, saturated or unsaturated, and / or with one or more linear alkyl carbonates, saturated or unsaturated.
[0031] Examples of saturated cyclic alkyl carbonates include ethylene carbonate EC, propylene carbonate PC, butylene carbonate BC and mixtures thereof.
[0032] Examples of saturated linear alkyl carbonates include dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), methyl ethyl carbonate (EMC), dipropyl carbonate (DPC), and mixtures thereof. DMC and DEC are the preferred saturated linear alkyl carbonates.
[0033] Preferably, the electrolyte contains neither saturated nor unsaturated cyclic alkyl carbonate, nor saturated or unsaturated linear alkyl carbonate.
[0034] Methyl propionate can be associated with one or more linear esters and / or one or more cyclic esters. The term "linear ester" refers to a compound with the general formula RC(=O)OR' in which the R and R' groups each independently represent an alkyl group, the compound not containing an oxygen atom between the alkyl group R and the carbonyl group -C(=O). Examples of linear esters other than methyl propionate include methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, ethyl propionate, butyl propionate, methyl butyrate, ethyl butyrate, propyl butyrate, and mixtures thereof.
[0035] Preferably, the electrolyte does not contain any esters other than methyl propionate.
[0036] Methyl propionate can be associated with one or more linear ethers other than fluorinated alkyl ethers and / or with one or more cyclic ethers. Examples of linear ethers include dimethoxyethane, propyl ethyl ether, dimethyl ether (DME), diethyl ether (DEE), and mixtures thereof. Examples of cyclic ethers include tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 1,3-dioxolane.
[0037] Preferably, the electrolyte does not contain any ether(s) other than fluorinated alkyl ether(s).
[0038] The electrolyte contains one or more diluents selected from the group consisting of a fluorinated alkyl ether, (mono)fluorobenzene, a mixture of at least one fluorinated alkyl ether and fluorobenzene, 1,2-difluorobenzene (DFB) and its isomers, 1,2,3-trifluorobenzene and its isomers, 1,2,3,4-tetrafluorobenzene and its isomers, pentafluorobenzene, hexafluorobenzene, 2-fluorotoluene and its isomers, and mixtures thereof, the volume proportion of said one or more diluents representing from 50 to 80% of the total volume of said one or more solvents and said one or more diluents. It is known to those skilled in the art that isomers are chemical compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. The isomers of 1,2-difluorobenzene are 1,3-difluorobenzene and 1,4-difluorobenzene. The isomers of 1,2,3-trifluorobenzene are 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene and 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene.The isomers of 1,2,3,4-tetrafluorobenzene are 1,2,3,5-tetrafluorobenzene and 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene. The isomers of 2-fluorotoluene are 3-fluorotoluene and 4-fluorotoluene.
[0039] Unlike a solvent, as defined in the present invention, a diluent is a molecule that cannot dissolve the lithium salt into an anion and a cation, and therefore does not create a solvation sphere around the anion and cation that would result from the dissolution of the salt if it were to occur. The use of fluorinated alkyl ether is advantageous because it minimizes the viscosity of the electrolyte. The fluorinated alkyl ether may be selected from the group consisting of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether and 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether, di-fluoromethyl ether and 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether and 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl ether, 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafropentyl ether and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl methyl ether and mixtures of these- ci. Preferably, this is 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether and 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl (TTE).
[0040] Preferred diluents are 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether and 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl (TTE), fluorobenzene and 1,2-difluorobenzene, especially 1,2-difluorobenzene.
[0041] According to one embodiment, the electrolyte contains no ether other than 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether and 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl (TTE).
[0042] According to one embodiment, the electrolyte contains no other diluent than the fluorinated alkyl ether(s) or fluorobenzene.
[0043] According to one embodiment, the electrolyte contains no diluent other than 1,2-difluorobenzene and its isomers. The volume proportion of methyl propionate may range from 20 to 50%, or from 25 to 40%, or from 30 to 35%, or from 20 to 30%, expressed as a percentage of the total volume of said solvent(s) and said diluent(s). A preferred range is from 25 to 35%.
[0044] The volume proportion of said diluent(s) may range from 50 to 80%, or from 60 to 75%, or from 65 to 70%, or from 70 to 80%, expressed as a percentage of the total volume of said solvent(s) and said diluent(s). A preferred range is from 65 to 75%. If several diluents are used together, the sum of the volume proportions of each diluent must fall within these ranges.
[0045] The electrolyte contains a negative electrode passivation additive selected from ethylene monofluorocarbonate (EFC), vinylene carbonate (VC), and a mixture thereof. The mass percentage of VC or FEC may range from 0.5 to 5%, 1 to 4%, or 2 to 3%, expressed as a percentage of the total mass of the mixture of one or more solvents, one or more diluents, and lithium salt(s). When VC and FEC are used together, the sum of the mass percentages of VC and FEC falls within these ranges.
[0046] Preferably, the electrolyte does not contain any other negative electrode passivation additives other than VC and / or FEC.
[0047] According to one embodiment, the electrolyte composition contains no solvent other than methyl propionate and no diluent other than 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether and 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl (TTE).
[0048] According to one embodiment, the electrolyte composition contains no solvent other than methyl propionate and no diluent other than fluorobenzene.
[0049] According to one embodiment, the electrolyte composition contains no solvent other than methyl propionate and no diluent other than 1,2-difluorobenzene.
[0050] The electrolyte composition contains one or more lithium salts, one of which is lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imidide Li(FSÛ2)2N (LiFSI). The combined use of a passivation additive with LiFSI results in the formation of a thin and stable passivation layer, thereby improving the cycling lifespan of the element.
[0051] Imidide salts can be associated with LiFSI. Examples include lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidide LiN(CF3SÛ2)2 (LiTFSI) and lithium bisperfluoroethylsulfonylimidide LiN(C2F5SO2)2 (LiBETI).
[0052] Other lithium salts besides imidides may also be present. They can be selected among lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPFe, lithium perchlorate LiClCU, lithium tetrafluoroborate IÛBF4, lithium hexafluoroarsenate LiAsFe, lithium hexafluoroantimonate LiSbFe, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate LiCFsSCh, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonemethide LiC(CF3SO2)3 (LiTFSM), lithium 4,5-dicyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)imidazolide (LiTDI), lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB), lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LIDFOB), lithium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate LiPF3(CF2CF3)3 (Li-FAP) and mixtures thereof.
[0053] The percentage of lithium ions from LiFSI can represent 50 to 100%, 60 to 90%, or 70 to 80% of the total number of lithium ions in the electrolyte. In a preferred embodiment, the only salt in the electrolyte is lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imidide, Li(FSO2)2N (LiFSI). In another preferred embodiment, the electrolyte does not contain LiPF6.

The IC regime corresponds to the current applied to charge / discharge the electrochemical element to the cutoff voltage within one hour. The capacitance discharged by each element in each cycle was compared to its initial capacitance. The change in the percentage of capacitance discharged by the Al elements with DI relative to their initial capacitance is shown in Figure 3. The capacitance retention after 200 cycles is shown in Table 2. It can be noted that: - the element DI whose electrolyte includes 1,2-difluorobenzene as a diluent has a longer cycling lifetime than the element Al whose electrolyte includes a mixture of cyclic carbonates EC, PC and linear carbonates DMC, EMC. - Element DI exhibits a longer cycling lifetime than elements B1 and Cl, whose electrolyte contains methyl propionate (MP) and, as diluents, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether and 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether, and fluorobenzene, respectively.
