The invention discloses an
electrolyte with a temperature switch function and a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of
lithium ion batteries. The
electrolyte provided by the invention comprises the following components:
lithium salt, a first
organic solvent and a
polymer, the
lithium salt is at least one of lithium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)
imide, lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl)
imide,
lithium hexafluorophosphate,
lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium difluoro (oxalato) borate and lithium bis (oxalato) borate; the
polymer is polymethacrylate, and the first
organic solvent is [Cnmim] [TFSI]. According to the
electrolyte, the reversible phase transformation process is realized, the
electrode reaction can be closed at high temperature, and the
lithium battery is prevented from being out of control due to overheating; and when the temperature is reduced to normal temperature, the battery can work normally. The
phase transition temperature of the electrolyte is flexible and controllable, and the
phase transition temperature can be regulated and controlled to a reasonable interval by optimizing the composition of the electrolyte and the dosage (concentration) of each component, that is, the
phase transition temperature is higher than the normal
working temperature of the battery and lower than the initial temperature of the heat release
side reaction.
