Description

Water-based electrolyte and application thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of electrochemical energy storage electrolyte, in particular to water-based electrolyte and application thereof.
Background
The electrochemical energy storage device of the organic system can provide higher working voltage and energy density, and currently, commercial lithium ion batteries and super capacitors mainly adopt organic electrolyte. However, organic electrolytes have inherent disadvantages of poor safety (flammability), toxicity, environmental pollution, and high cost. In recent years, accidents of explosion and ignition of lithium ion batteries, such as mobile phone explosion, auto-ignition of automobiles and the like, occur frequently, which greatly limits further wide application of electrochemical energy storage devices. Compared with the organic electrolyte, the water system electrolyte has great advantages and application potentials in the aspects of cost, safety, resource storage and the like. However, since the electrochemical stability window of water is narrow, only about 1.23V, and is limited by the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, the cell voltage of conventional aqueous electrolytes is typically less than 1.6V, which severely limits their applications.
In recent years, the electrochemical window of aqueous electrolytes has been expanded to 3.0V by increasing the concentration of the solution. For example, the catalyst is prepared from concentrated salt LiTFSI and NaClO4And KAc, etc., in which almost all water molecules undergo strong coordination with lithium ions to form stable hydrated complexes, thereby widening the electrochemical window of the electrolyte. However, the electrochemical window of these "water-in-salt" electrolytes is currently about 3.0V, which is still much lower than that of conventional organic electrolytes.
Therefore, how to improve the electrochemical window of the water-based electrolyte is still the focus and difficulty of the research of the water-based electrolyte.

The following technical scheme is adopted in the application:
the first aspect of the application discloses a water-based electrolyte, the solvent of the water-based electrolyte is water or a mixed solvent composed of water and an organic solvent, and the water-based electrolyte contains lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide with the mass molar concentration of not less than 10 mol/kg.
It is noted that the water-based electrolyte of the present application has a high concentration of dissolved thereinLithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide salt (F)2NO4S2Li, LiFSI), i.e. the molarity is not less than 10 mol/kg; the high-concentration lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide salt enables almost all solvent molecules to be hydrated with lithium ions, and the strong solvation action reduces the activity of water molecules and inhibits the decomposition of the water molecules on the surface of an electrode; and the high-concentration LiFSI electrolyte can easily form an inert layer containing fluoride on the cathode, can further improve the electrochemical window of the water-based electrolyte, can improve the working voltage of the water-based energy storage device when being applied to the water-based energy storage device, improves the energy density of the device, improves the service life of the device, and has important practical significance for the research and application in the water-based energy storage field.
It is understood that the key to the present application is the addition of high concentrations of lithium bis-fluorosulfonylimide based on existing water-based electrolytes. As for the solvent of the specific water-based electrolyte, water or a mixed solvent of water and an organic solvent which has been conventionally used at present may be mentioned. As for the electrolyte of the water-based electrolyte, lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide can be used as an electrolyte material, and therefore, the water-based electrolyte of the present application may not contain other electrolytes; of course, other conventionally used electrolytes may be added as a supporting electrolyte used in combination as needed, for example, a sulfate, a nitrate, an acetate, a perchlorate, a trifluoromethanesulfonate or a chloride of at least one of an alkali metal and zinc; specifically, the electrolyte may be used according to the application of the specific electrolyte, for example, when used in different batteries or water-based electrochemical supercapacitors, the supporting electrolyte is used for the anode and cathode, and is not limited specifically herein.

In the water-based electrolyte of the present application, although an organic solvent may be added; however, the amount of organic solvent used is less than 75%. The reason is mainly that, firstly, the salt precipitation can be caused by too large amount of organic solvent, and the high-concentration lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide salt in the application can not be realized; second, too large an amount of the organic solvent affects the safety of the water-based electrolyte.

In addition, a water-based electrolyte with low LiFSI concentration is prepared for comparison, and particularly, LiFSI salt is dissolved in solvent water to prepare the water-based electrolyte with the mass molar concentration of 1mol/kg for comparison.
The electrochemical window test is respectively carried out on the water-based electrolyte with high LiFSI concentration and the water-based electrolyte with low LiFSI concentration prepared by the embodiment by adopting a three-electrode linear voltammetry scanning method, wherein a working electrode in positive scanning is a titanium electrode, a working electrode in negative scanning is an aluminum electrode, a counter electrode is a platinum electrode, a reference electrode is a saturated calomel electrode, the scanning voltage is-2-2.5V (vs. SCE), and the scanning speed is 10 mv/s.

In addition, a large amount of fluorine contained in the high-concentration lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide salt is easy to form an inert layer containing fluoride on a negative electrode, so that the electrochemical window of a water-based electrolyte is improved, and the working voltage of a water-based energy storage device is improved.

The results show that in test 3 and test 4, when the proportion of the organic solvent reaches or exceeds 75%, LiFSI salt is precipitated, and meanwhile, the ignition test is carried out on the four electrolytes, and the electrolytes in test 3 and test 4 are both found to have a combustion phenomenon, while the electrolytes in test 1 and test 2 cannot be ignited, which indicates that the electrolytes become unstable and flammable when the proportion of the organic solvent reaches or exceeds 75%, and the intrinsic safety of the water-based electrolyte is lost.
The foregoing is a more detailed description of the present application in connection with specific embodiments thereof, and it is not intended that the present application be limited to the specific embodiments thereof. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure that many more simple derivations or substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit of the disclosure.
