Detailed Description
The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments, and it should be noted that, without conflict, any combination between the embodiments or technical features described below may form a new embodiment.
The present embodiment provides a high voltage electrolyte including an electrolyte solvent, a lithium salt, and an electrolyte additive.
The electrolyte additive comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 2-4% of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), 0.4-0.6% of vinyl sulfate (DTD), 0.15-0.25% of Propylene Sulfite (PS), 0.1-0.8% of trifluoromethylphenyl sulfide (PTS), 0.01-1.0% of Allyloxytrimethylsilane (AMSL) and 0.05-1.0% of tris (trimethylsilane) borate (TMSB).
In the embodiment, a plurality of high-voltage electrolyte additives are added to synergistically improve the comprehensive performance of the battery. The FEC is a negative electrode film forming additive, and a compact SEI film with low impedance is formed on the surface of a negative electrode active material, so that the multiplying power, the circulation and the storage performance are improved; FEC can also continuously repair SEI film cracks caused by volume change of graphite particles in the later cycle period, and further cycle life is prolonged. The DTD is a negative electrode film forming additive, so that the first charge-discharge efficiency can be improved, and the initial capacity of the battery can be further improved; meanwhile, the occurrence of side reactions can be reduced, the gas generation in the battery is further reduced, and the cycle performance of the battery is favorably improved. The AMSL participates in film formation of the negative electrode, reduction reaction is carried out on the surface of the negative electrode before electrolyte solvent molecules are subjected to reduction reaction, so that negative electrode active substance particles are protected from being damaged by the solvent molecules, an SEI film with stable structure and performance is formed, and the rate performance of the battery is obviously improved; the temperature of the power battery is obviously increased in the high-rate discharge process, the electrolyte is decomposed at high temperature to generate H and F, and strong corrosive HF is formed in combination to corrode a current collector, so that the performance of the battery is reduced; the AMSL is used as a high-temperature stabilizing additive, and silicon-oxygen bonds and olefinic bonds of the AMSL are easy to capture decomposition products H and F of the electrolyte at high temperature, so that the current collector is prevented from being corroded, and the safety performance of the battery is improved. In addition, when the positive electrode is in a high-voltage state, the boron-containing additive TMSB is oxidized before the solvent to form a positive electrode protective film, so that the oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte is inhibited, and the cycle life of the battery is prolonged; the PS, the PTS and the TMSB have synergistic effect, an SEI film with stable structure, thin texture and small impedance is formed on the positive electrode, the occurrence of side reaction on the surface of the positive electrode is inhibited, the dissolution of metal ions of the positive electrode is inhibited, and the structural stability of the positive electrode under high voltage (high lithium removal degree) is protected.
The electrolyte solvent comprises the following components in parts by weight: 5-20% of Ethylene Carbonate (EC), 5-20% of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and 60-90% of Ethyl Methyl Carbonate (EMC).
As a further preferable scheme, the electrolyte solvent comprises the following components in parts by weight: 10% of Ethylene Carbonate (EC), 10% of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and 80% of Ethyl Methyl Carbonate (EMC).
Here, EC dielectric constant is high (about 29 times of DMC and EMC), and thus conductivity is high, facilitating lithium ion migration; but at the same time its viscosity is high (about 3 times DMC and EMC), which is detrimental to lithium ion transport. Therefore, the embodiment adopts a small amount of EC to improve the conductivity of the electrolyte, and simultaneously matches DMC and EMC solvents with low viscosity to reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte. In addition, the EMC melting point is low, about-55 ℃, the liquid is at normal temperature, and the temperature adaptability is strong; the EC melting point is about 36 ℃, the DMC melting point is about 4 ℃, the temperature adaptability is poor, the influence of the conductivity, viscosity and temperature adaptability of the high-voltage electrolyte is comprehensively considered, a specific electrolyte solvent formula is adopted, EMC is used as a main component, and EC and DMC are used as secondary components.
The lithium salt of the electrolyte of the embodiment is a high-concentration lithium salt, and the concentration is 1.4 mol/L. The reversible lithium ions in the battery are increased, and the lithium salt concentration is improved, so that the service life of the battery is prolonged.
As a further preferable scheme, the electrolyte additive comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 3% of fluoroethylene carbonate, 0.5% of vinyl sulfate, 0.2% of propylene sulfite, 0.5% of trifluoromethylphenyl sulfide (PTS), 0.2% of allyloxytrimethylsilane and 0.4% of tris (trimethylsilane) borate.
The embodiment also provides a lithium ion power battery using the high-voltage electrolyte, which comprises a positive plate, a negative plate, a diaphragm and the electrolyte; the battery positive plate comprises a positive metal foil, a positive coating intermittently coated on the positive metal foil and a 1pcs positive lug conductively connected with the positive metal foil; the battery negative plate comprises a negative metal foil, a negative coating intermittently coated on the negative metal foil, and a negative lug conductively connected with the negative metal foil.
The positive metal foil is a metal aluminum foil or a carbon-coated aluminum foil, and the negative metal foil is a metal copper foil or a carbon-coated copper foil.

By matching with the modified positive active material, the coating density and the roll compaction degree of the positive plate are also adjusted in the embodiment, so that the mechanical strength and the electrochemical stability of the positive electrode are improved.
The negative electrode coating comprises the following components in percentage by weight:
Figure BDA0002254210290000071
the negative electrode uses artificial graphite as an active material. The performance of graphite is improved by adjusting graphitization temperature and coating modification. In the process of manufacturing the graphite of the embodiment, the temperature in the graphitization process is increased to 3000-3300 ℃, so that carbon layers in the graphite become more regular and tend to be in a completely parallel state, the consistency of interlayer spacing is better, the stability of a microstructure of the material is improved, and the comprehensive performances of circulation, multiplying power, storage and the like are improved. Meanwhile, the lithium intercalation capability of the graphite is improved, and the graphite is suitable for a positive high-voltage system.

Here, the tap density of the negative electrode active material is 1.0 to 1.2g/cm3The specific surface area is 0.8-1.2m2/g;D5013-17 μm, and the gram volume is 340-360 mAh/g. In this embodiment, the coating density and the roll compaction degree of the negative electrode sheet are adjusted by matching with the modified negative electrode active material, so as to improve the mechanical strength and the electrochemical stability of the negative electrode.
As a further preferred scheme, the position of the positive tab of the positive plate is 1/3-1/5 in the length direction of the positive plate, and the 2pcs negative tabs of the negative plate are respectively arranged at the two ends (the head and the tail) in the length direction of the negative plate, so that the internal resistance of the battery is reduced, the heat generation amount is reduced, the cycle performance of the battery is improved, and the safety performance is improved.
