Electrolyte containing lithium phosphoryl imide and battery using electrolyte
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium secondary batteries, in particular to an electrolyte containing lithium phosphorylimide and a lithium secondary battery using the electrolyte.
Background
The non-aqueous electrolyte is one of the key materials of energy storage devices such as a high-specific energy lithium ion battery, and the comprehensive performance, such as chemical and electrochemical stability, safety and the like, of the non-aqueous electrolyte directly influences the use of the lithium ion battery. Currently, commercial lithium ion battery electrolytes are mainly composed of organic carbonates such as Ethylene Carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), etc., electrolyte conductive salts (mainly LiPF6), functional additives such as Vinylene Carbonate (VC), 1, 3-Propane Sultone (PS), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), etc. The electrolyte solvent system mainly adjusts the formula proportion, and the novel additive and the lithium salt are the key and core technologies of the electrolyte material. The difluoro phosphoryl group compound is used as a novel additive, can effectively improve the structural components of a negative electrode interfacial film, and is beneficial to reducing the internal resistance of the battery and prolonging the service life of the battery. Lithium difluorophosphate is the most common compound of such additives, but the solubility of lithium difluorophosphate in carbonate electrolytes is very poor, especially in chain carbonates with relatively low polarity and donor number, the solubility of lithium difluorophosphate is generally less than 0.1%, and the maximum value limits its application. The lithium imide structure has stable chemical and electrochemical stability, and the solubility in a carbonate solvent is higher than 3M, so that the lithium imide phosphate contains phosphoryl and imine structures, integrates the advantages of the two groups of compounds, and has wide application prospect in electrochemical energy storage devices.
