Description

Flame-retardant lithium ion battery electrolyte and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrolytes for lithium ion batteries, in particular to a flame-retardant lithium ion battery electrolyte and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the continuous development of new energy technology, the market of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles is growing, and the worldwide demand for new energy is increasing. Lithium ion batteries have replaced traditional batteries and have been widely used in the field of new energy sources due to their advantages of high energy density, excellent cycle performance, low self-discharge rate, etc.
However, the electrolyte used in the lithium ion battery contains a large amount of organic solvents with low flash points, and when the lithium ion battery is charged or heated, the electrolyte in the battery can undergo irreversible redox decomposition to generate combustible gas, so that the internal pressure and temperature of a battery system can be increased rapidly to cause safety accidents, and therefore, a flame retardant additive needs to be added into the electrolyte to reduce the flammability of the electrolyte of the lithium ion battery and improve the safety performance of the lithium ion battery.
In order to solve the above-mentioned safety problems, it is disclosed in Japanese patent applications JP2000-235867 and JP 2002-280061 that flame retardancy is achieved by using an organic phosphate compound such as trimethyl phosphate or triethyl phosphate as an additive or co-solvent. However, when the organic phosphate compound is applied to an electrolyte of a lithium ion battery, the conductivity is lowered, and the organic phosphate compound is reduced and decomposed on the surface of a graphite negative electrode, thereby inhibiting the charge and discharge performance of the battery.
Patent application CN110590848 discloses a five-membered ring phosphate which has flame retardancy and film forming functions of positive and negative electrodes, but when used alone, is often greatly influenced by the addition amount, greatly influencing the charge and discharge performance.
In general, in order to maintain the normal charge and discharge function of the battery, it is necessary to mix it with a carbonate-based flammable solvent, and in this case, the content of the organic phosphate compound in the mixed solvent is generally reduced, resulting in a reduction in the flame retardant property.
In view of the above, in order to achieve both the flame retardant safety performance and the charge and discharge performance of the battery, it is urgently required to develop an electrolyte solution that can exhibit excellent flame retardant properties and thermal stability without affecting electrochemical properties such as the charge and discharge performance.

Detailed Description
In the present specification, unless otherwise specified, the following meanings are given to the symbols, units, abbreviations and terms.
In the present specification, when numerical ranges are expressed using "or", they include both endpoints, and the units are common. For example, 5 to 25% means 5% or more and 25% or less.
Hereinafter, the flame-retardant lithium ion battery electrolyte and the preparation method thereof according to the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments.
The invention discloses a flame-retardant lithium ion battery electrolyte, which comprises an organic solvent, lithium salt and additives, wherein the additives comprise phosphate additives and boron-containing functional additives, and the phosphate additives are selected from compounds shown in the following general formula (1):
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE005
wherein n is an integer of 1 to 5, the ring may or may not have a double bond, and the substituent R1 on the ring is selected from hydrogen, fluorine, an isocyanate group, a cyano group, a sulfonyl group, a carbonyl group or an amino group,
x is selected from lithium ion, substituted or unsubstituted straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl, aryl, alkenyl or alkynyl with 1-8 carbon atoms, and the substituent is selected from fluorine, isocyanate group, cyano, sulfonyl, carbonyl or amino.
In the flame-retardant lithium ion battery electrolyte, based on 100% of the total mass of the electrolyte,
the mass of the organic solvent is 28.5-89.5%, preferably 47.8-82.6%,
the mass of the lithium salt is 5.0-30.0%, preferably 10-25%;
the phosphate additive is 5.0 to 50.0% by mass, preferably 5.0 to 40.4% by mass, more preferably 10.0 to 30.0% by mass,
the mass of the boron-containing functional additive is 0.5-2.0%.
In some embodiments, the lithium salt in the flame-retardant lithium ion battery electrolyte of the present invention comprises one or more of the following compounds: lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6), lithium difluorophosphate (LiPF 2O 2), lithium difluorobis (oxalato) phosphate (LiODFP), lithium difluorooxalato borate (LiODFB), lithium bis (oxalato) borate (LiBOB), lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide (LiFSI), lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF 4), lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiSO 3 CF 3), lithium fluorosulfonate (LiSO 3F) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO 4). Among them, it is preferable to contain LiFSI and/or LiTFSI in view of excellent charge and discharge characteristics of the battery.
The addition amount of the lithium salt in the electrolyte is 5.0-30.0% based on 100% of the total mass of the electrolyte, and when the addition amount of the lithium salt is less than 5 parts or more than 30 parts, the conductivity of the electrolyte solution is reduced at a high charge-discharge rate, which causes deterioration of charge-discharge characteristics of the lithium ion battery. From the viewpoint of obtaining more excellent charge/discharge performance, it is preferably 10.0 to 25.0%.
The amount of the phosphate flame retardant additive added is, for example, 5.0 to 50.0%, preferably 5.0 to 40.4%, and more preferably 10.0 to 30.0% based on 100% by mass of the total electrolyte. When the addition amount of the phosphate flame-retardant additive is less than 5.0%, the flame-retardant effect of the flame-retardant additive cannot be effectively exerted, and when the addition amount is more than 50.0%, the conductivity of an electrolyte system is reduced, so that the charge and discharge characteristics of a battery system are influenced.
The boron-containing functional additive adopted by the invention contains unsaturated boric acid ester and/or boron-oxygen hexacyclic compound, such as one or more of tributylene boric acid ester, trivinyl boron-oxygen hexacyclic compound, triethyl boron-oxygen hexacyclic compound, triphenyl boron-oxygen hexacyclic compound, etc., which can form SEI film on positive and negative electrodes, protect positive and negative electrodes, and inhibit redox of electrolyte on the surfaces of the positive and negative electrodes. The addition amount of the boron-containing functional additive is 0.5-2.0 wt%, preferably 1.0-1.5 wt% based on 100% of the total mass of the electrolyte. When the addition amount of the boron-containing functional additive is less than 0.5%, the boron-containing functional additive is difficult to form a film on the positive electrode and the negative electrode in advance, so that the redox decomposition reaction of the electrolyte on the surfaces of the positive electrode and the negative electrode cannot be effectively inhibited, and when the addition amount is more than 2.0%, the film is thicker on the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so that the charge and discharge performance of a battery system is adversely affected.
The solvent used in the present invention includes a carbonate solvent and/or an ether solvent, and is a solvent commonly used in an electrolytic solution, and the internal compounding ratio thereof is not particularly limited as long as a predetermined effect can be obtained.
The compound represented by the above general formula (1) is preferably a phosphate additive having a four-membered ring represented by the following general formula (2):

The electrolytes in the above examples and comparative examples were subjected to the following tests.
(1) Conductivity test
30mL of the prepared electrolyte was measured for conductivity at 25 ℃ using a conductivity Meter (Switzerland 914 PH Meter/conductor Meter).
(2) Flame retardancy test
A glass fiber cotton sliver prepared in advance and having the length of 300mm and the diameter of 2mm is placed in a flask containing the electrolyte of the embodiment and the comparative example to be soaked for 12 hours, and after the electrolyte is sufficiently absorbed, the excess electrolyte on the glass fiber cotton is removed by using the edge of the flask. And weighing the weight of the glass fiber cotton sliver before and after soaking to obtain the mass of the electrolyte absorbed by the glass fiber cotton sliver. Clamping the glass fiber cotton by using tweezers, burning the lower end of the glass fiber cotton for 3 seconds by using an igniter, removing a fire source after the glass fiber cotton is burnt, starting timing until the flame is extinguished, and stopping timing so as to measure the self-extinguishing time of the burning, carrying out parallel measurement for at least 5 times, and taking the average value. This combustion self-extinguishing time is converted to a combustion self-extinguishing time per gram of electrolyte. And judging the flame retardant property of the electrolyte according to the combustion self-extinguishing time of the electrolyte per unit mass.
(3) Discharge capacity test
Natural graphite and a polyvinylidene fluoride resin as a binder were mixed at a mass ratio of 90: 10, dispersed in an N-methylpyrrolidone solvent to form a negative electrode slurry, and the negative electrode slurry was coated on both sides of a copper foil and dried to obtain a negative electrode sheet. The negative electrode sheet was cut into a width of 20mm and a length of 150mm to serve as a negative electrode. Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2), acetylene black, and a polyvinylidene fluoride resin were mixed at a weight ratio of 90: 5, and dispersed in N-methylpyrrolidone to form a positive electrode slurry, and the positive electrode slurry was coated on both surfaces of an aluminum foil as a positive electrode current collector and dried to obtain a positive electrode sheet. The positive electrode sheet was cut into a width of 20mm and a length of 150mm to obtain a positive electrode. The negative electrode and the positive electrode thus produced were each provided with a tab, and a porous polypropylene film having a width of 25mm and a length of 200mm was wound to produce a cell. The cell is put into a closed battery shell in a dry argon environment, and the lithium ion battery electrolyte prepared in the embodiment and the comparative example of the invention is injected to prepare the lithium ion secondary battery. The charge/discharge characteristics of the battery were evaluated while maintaining the airtightness of the battery.
At 25 ℃, the prepared lithium ion secondary battery is charged to 4.2V at constant current and constant voltage of 50mA, the current is cut off and 0.02C is kept for 5min, and when the battery is discharged to the voltage of 2.5V at constant current of 10mA, the battery is kept for 5min, and the discharge capacity of the battery after the first circulation at 25 ℃ is recorded. And thirdly, stopping charging to 4.2V at a constant current and a constant voltage of 50mA, stopping the current at 0.02C, standing for 5min, discharging at a constant current of 10mA until the voltage is 2.5V, standing for 5min, circulating according to the above steps, and recording the discharge capacity after 100 cycles of charging and discharging.

TABLE 2
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE009
In Table 2, the self-extinguishing time is 0s, indicating that the electrolyte is nonflammable.
As can be seen from tables 1 and 2, in the electrolytes of examples 1 to 17, the phosphorus-containing flame retardant additive and the boron-containing functional additive according to the present invention are included in a specific range, and the synergistic effect of the two additives is utilized, so that the excellent flame retardant effect can be exerted while the electrical conductivity is ensured, the internal heat generation of the battery is significantly suppressed, the pressure rise rate in the battery is slowed, the good thermal stability is exhibited, the safety performance of the battery is ensured, and simultaneously, the SEI film is favorably formed on the positive and negative electrode materials, and the electrochemical properties such as the discharge capacity of the battery are improved. Moreover, the flame retardant composition can exert good electrochemical performance even when the content of the phosphate additive is high (the mass fraction is 50%), can exert excellent flame retardant property and thermal stability even when the content of the phosphate additive is low (the mass fraction is 5%), can expand the application range of the phosphate additive, and can achieve both flame retardancy and electrochemical performance.
Further, the phosphorus-containing flame retardant additives represented by the general formulae I to IV are phosphate additives having four-membered rings, and are relatively excellent in overall properties in terms of flame retardant effect, electrochemical properties, etc., probably because these phosphate compounds having four-membered rings have a relatively high phosphorus-containing ratio and high flame retardancy, and in addition, have substituents that facilitate the formation of an SEI film to improve electrochemical properties. In particular, in the electrolytes of examples 15 to 17, the two types of four-membered ring phosphates having different substituents were combined, and therefore, the electrolytes were more excellent in the overall properties such as conductivity, flame retardant effect, and electrochemical properties.
As can be seen from tables 1 and 2, the electrolyte of comparative example 1 contains boron functional additives, but does not contain phosphate flame retardant additives, so the electrolyte has no flame retardant effect, and has a serious potential safety hazard because the heating speed and the pressure rise speed are remarkably increased in a full-charge state.
As is apparent from tables 1 and 2, the electrolyte of comparative example 2, which contains a boron-containing functional additive and trimethyl phosphate, has a flame retardant effect but poor discharge performance, and may be caused by the fact that trimethyl phosphate is easily intercalated into a graphite negative electrode material to cause a loss in discharge capacity, and does not have a film-forming function like a cyclic phosphate ester, has a certain volatility, and adversely affects the electrochemical performance of a battery.
As is apparent from tables 1 and 2, the electrolyte of comparative example 3 contains a phosphate flame retardant additive, but does not contain a boron-containing functional additive, and the electrolyte is not easily inhibited from redox decomposition on the surfaces of the positive and negative electrodes, and the battery discharge capacity performance is deteriorated.
As can be seen from tables 1 and 2, the electrolyte of the comparative example 4 does not contain the phosphate flame retardant additive and the boron-containing functional additive, and the electrolyte does not have a flame retardant effect, so that the heating speed and the pressure rise speed of the electrolyte are obviously increased in a full-electricity state, and serious potential safety hazards exist.
As can be seen from tables 1 and 2, the discharge performance is seriously reduced when the addition amount of the phosphate flame retardant additive in the electrolyte of the comparative example 5 is too large to exceed the range of the present invention, and the reason may be that the excessive addition of the flame retardant additive may reduce the system conductivity and have a great negative effect on the charge and discharge performance of the battery.
As can be seen from tables 1 and 2, when the amount of the boron-containing functional additive added to the electrolyte of comparative example 6 is outside the range of the present invention, the discharge performance is rather decreased, which may be caused by the negative effect of the boron-containing functional additive on the charge/discharge performance of the battery due to the thick film formed on the positive and negative electrodes.
The nonaqueous electrolytic solution of the present invention contains an organic solvent, a lithium salt, a phosphate additive having a specific structure and a boron-containing functional additive having a specific structure at a specific ratio, and thereby can sufficiently exhibit the synergistic effect of the phosphate additive and the boron-containing functional additive. The phosphate additive has a cyclic structure and other functional groups or Li ions, has excellent flame retardant effect and thermal stability, and particularly has relatively better flame retardant comprehensive performance of the phosphate additive with a four-membered ring, thereby being beneficial to forming an SEI film. The boron-containing functional additive has low impedance, can improve discharge capacity and cycle performance at high temperature, and can form an SEI film on the surfaces of the positive and negative electrode materials preferentially, so that redox decomposition reaction of the electrolyte on the surfaces of the positive and negative electrodes is inhibited, and electrochemical stability is improved. Therefore, the non-aqueous electrolyte provided by the invention has excellent flame retardant property and thermal stability, and can improve the charge and discharge performance and cycle performance of the battery.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the present invention, but not for the purpose of limiting the same, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Numerous other simple derivations, modifications and substitutions will now occur to those skilled in the art upon reviewing the present disclosure. Such deductions, modifications or alternatives also fall within the scope of the present invention.
