The invention discloses an
ether-functionalized urotropine
onium dicyandiamide salt as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
electrolyte additives, the structural general formula of the
ether-functionalized urotropine
onium dicyandiamide salt is [RUr] DCA, a cation part is an
ether-functionalized urotropine
onium ion [RUr] < + >, Ur represents a urotropine mother
nucleus, R represents an ether-functionalized
side chain, and an anion part is a dicyandiamide
ion DCA <->. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out quaternization reaction on urotropine and brominated ether
hydrocarbon in an
organic solvent to generate an ether-functionalized urotropine onium
bromide intermediate; and carrying out anion exchange reaction on the obtained intermediate and dicyandiamide salt to obtain a target product. According to the invention, the ether-functionalized urotropine onium dicyandiamide salt is added into the
electrolyte and is used as a
nitrogen-rich
electrolyte additive, so that the formation of a stable SEI (
solid electrolyte interface) membrane is promoted, and the performance and the
cycling stability of the
lithium battery are improved.
