Description

Lithium-sulfur battery electrolyte and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium-sulfur batteries, in particular to an electrolyte for a lithium-sulfur battery and the lithium-sulfur battery using the electrolyte.
Background
In recent years, lithium sulfur batteries have attracted attention from researchers because of their advantages such as high energy density (2500Wh/kg, 2800Wh/L), wide sulfur source as an active material, and low cost, and are considered to be one of the most promising next-generation high energy density energy storage devices. However, some problems are serious due to its complicated electrochemical reaction mechanism
Limiting the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries. Long-chain polysulphides Li as intermediate products of the discharge2SX(X4-8) is easily dissolved in ether electrolyte, so that the actual utilization rate of the positive active material is not high, and the actual specific capacity of the first loop is far lower than the theoretical capacity (1675mAh/g) of elemental sulfur; under the action of electric field force and concentration gradient, long-chain lithium polysulfide can diffuse to the lithium metal negative electrode, on one hand, the lithium metal negative electrode is corroded to react to generate short-chain lithium polysulfide and insulated Li2S, the former in turn diffuses into the positive electrode region and is oxidized to long-chain lithium polysulphides, which are cyclically repeated, the so-called "shuttle effect", leading to a severe reduction in coulombic efficiency and irreversible loss of active material, and thus to a constant decline in battery capacity.
Researchers have adopted many different strategies and achieved certain results in response to the shuttling problem of polysulfides in lithium sulfur batteries. In the positive electrode aspect, the most common strategy is to use a nano-structured carbon material with high specific surface area, to adsorb sulfur in the carbon material pores, and to prevent polysulfide shuttling by physical confinement. In patent CN102208645A, amorphous carbon is coated on the surface of the sulfur-based cathode active material, the particles of the cathode material are 10 nm-10 μm, and the thickness of the amorphous carbon layer is 1-5 nm, which significantly improves the conductivity of the cathode material. The carbon material coating has a certain effect on inhibiting polysulfide shuttling, but with repeated dissolution and deposition of sulfur in the charging and discharging processes, sulfur active substances gradually migrate from the interior of the carbon to the surface, so that the carbon material loses the effect. Considering that the polysulfide ions have polarity, and thus the nonpolar carbon material has very limited physical adsorption effect on the multiple lithium ions, researchers further propose that some polar metal compounds (oxides, sulfides, nitrides and the like) are loaded on the carbon material or the battery diaphragm, and the shuttling of the carbon material or the battery diaphragm is inhibited by utilizing the chemical adsorption effect of the compounds and the polysulfide ions, for example, CN201810129954 can effectively limit the shuttling effect of the polysulfide by adding tungsten disulfide with a lamellar structure into the lithium-sulfur battery diaphragm, and thus the battery performance of the lithium-sulfur battery is improved. On the other hand, a layer of relatively stable artificial SEI film is formed through surface treatment of the negative electrode, so that the reaction of electrolyte, polysulfide and lithium metal caused by instability of an intrinsic SEI film is avoided, and the influence of a shuttle effect can be relieved to a certain extent. For the characteristic of high solubility of polysulfide in a conventional ether electrolyte system, researchers propose a novel solvent component to reduce the dissolution of polysulfide by electrolyte, for example, CN201710807396 adopts ionic liquid and fluoroether as basic solvents, and utilizes the complementary synergistic effect of the ionic liquid and fluoroether to enhance the capability of the electrolyte for inhibiting the dissolution and shuttling of lithium polysulfide, but the ionic liquid and fluoroether tend to have higher viscosity and low conductivity, so the rate capability of the battery is greatly reduced.

The study of the invention also finds that the batteries without the additive A (comparative examples 1 and 2) provided by the invention have low coulombic efficiency and rapid battery capacity decay; the electrolyte added with the additive provided by the invention is used, so that the capacity, the circulation and the coulombic efficiency of the battery are improved.
The electrolyte additive A provided by the invention can quickly reduce long-chain polysulfide into short chains through spontaneous reduction of sulfur-sulfur bonds, so that shuttling of polysulfide between a positive electrode and a negative electrode is effectively inhibited.
