Description

Ultralow-density electrolyte and lithium sulfur battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of materials, in particular to an ultralow-density electrolyte and a lithium-sulfur battery.
Background
Along with the development demands of 3C products and new energy electric vehicles for long endurance, the energy storage market puts forward higher demands on the energy density of lithium ion batteries. However, due to the limitations of conventional "de-intercalation" type positive and negative electrode materials, the energy density of lithium ion batteries has approached its limit of energy density (< 300 Wh/Kg), and thus the development of secondary batteries having higher energy densities has been a trend. The lithium-sulfur battery has 2600Wh/Kg theoretical energy density, has the advantages of wide material source, low price, no pollution and the like, and is considered as a new secondary battery system with the most development prospect in the future.
Although the lithium sulfur battery has higher theoretical energy density, the actual energy density can only reach 300-400Wh/Kg due to the excessively high weight ratio of inactive substances (> 70 wt%) in the actual application process, namely, the actual energy density can only reach about 15% of the theoretical energy density. Wherein, the weight proportion of the electrolyte in the lithium sulfur full battery is the highest (> 50 wt%) so that reducing the weight proportion of the electrolyte in the lithium sulfur full battery is an important way for improving the energy density of the lithium sulfur battery. The most straightforward way is to reduce the amount of electrolyte used in lithium sulfur batteries. However, reducing the amount of electrolyte used in lithium sulfur batteries is currently a significant challenge due to the excessive porosity (> 70 vol%) of the sulfur positive electrode and the special "solid-liquid" conversion process during charge and discharge.
At the same electrolyte usage/sulfur mass (E/S) ratio, the density of different electrolytes can lead to a large difference in total electrolyte weight, which can lead to a large change in lithium sulfur full cell energy density. Therefore, the invention solves the problems in the prior art from the aspect of reducing the electrolyte density, and effectively reduces the mass proportion of the electrolyte in the full battery by reducing the electrolyte density, thereby realizing the purpose of improving the actual energy density of the lithium-sulfur battery. Therefore, the development of the electrolyte with the ultra-low density has great significance for improving the energy density of the lithium-sulfur battery.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated by the drawings and the specific examples, which are to be understood as being for the purpose of more detailed description only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention in any way, i.e. not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
In order to better understand the intention of the invention, firstly, the idea and idea of the technical scheme of the invention are analyzed and described.
In the research, we find that the high weight fraction ratio of the electrolyte in the lithium-sulfur full cell is the main reason for the large gap between the actual energy density and the theoretical value. So far, it has been challenging for lithium sulfur batteries to further reduce the E/S ratio to E/S < 3uL/mg due to the high electrode porosity of lithium sulfur batteries and the limitations of metallic lithium negative electrodes on electrolyte consumption. In addition to the E/S ratio, we believe that electrolyte density is also another key parameter in determining electrolyte weight in a full cell, but was ignored in previous studies. The density of the conventional lithium sulfur electrolyte is even higher than that of the lithium ion battery electrolyte. Therefore, if the electrolyte density can be reduced to effectively reduce the mass proportion of the electrolyte in the full battery, the aim of improving the actual energy density of the lithium-sulfur battery can be achieved.
According to the analysis, the invention provides an ultralow-density electrolyte comprising lithium salt and a nonaqueous organic solvent;
in the practice of the present invention, we evaluated electrolyte densities of different salts as a function of their concentrations, while also considering the chemical compatibility of lithium salts with polysulfides, as well as ionic conductivity, to determine lithium salts that can be used in the ultra low density electrolytes of the present invention.
In addition to lithium salts, the density of the solvent used has a large relationship with the molecular weight, polarity, structure and functional groups of the solvent. FIG. 1 shows a graph of the densities of the solvents used for the different electrolytes at 25℃divided into four regions according to the densities. From bottom to top, it can be seen that the gas/liquid/solid phase diagrams correspond to densities, respectively<0.6g/mL, a density of 0.6-1.8g/mL and a density>1.8 g/mL. At a density of less than 0.6 g.mL -1 Within the scope of (2), solvent molecules are generally gaseous at room temperature, are generally nonpolar or have small molecular dimensions. Cooling or pressurizing the polar gas may form a liquefied gas electrolyte, but may severely degrade the dynamic performance of the lithium sulfur battery. In the liquid zone, the catalyst can be further divided into a conventional zone (0.85-1.2 g/mL) and an ultra-light zone<0.85 g/mL). The results show that the density of common electrolyte solvents (including ether, ester and fluorinated solvents) is above 0.85g/ml, which means that ultra low concentration and even salt free electrolyte densities cannot be below 0.85 g/ml. Therefore, we are closely concerned withUltra-light solvents are injected, typically having a density of less than 0.8g/mL in the liquid phase. FIG. 2 shows a density of (0.6-0.8) g.multidot.mL -1 Some candidate solvents for ultra-light solvents in the range. In general, ultra-light solvents have low polarity and low dielectric constant resulting in lower salt dissolution capacity. Thus, some solvents such as n-pentane (0.63 g.multidot.mL) -1 ) Hexane (0.66 g.mL) -1 ) N-heptane (0.68 g.mL) -1 ) And n-octane (0.70 g.mL) -1 ) Is excluded because there are no strong nucleophilic sites in the low dielectric constant molecules, resulting in unsatisfactory salt solubility. Thus, we have focused on monoethers having one Lewis basic oxygen atom, which not only have lower densities than ethers having multiple oxygen atoms, but also have a moderate dielectric constant that favors salt solubility. In addition, these ethers have high reduction resistance and show high compatibility with lithium metal, compared with other kinds of high polar ether solvents. Considering that the polarity of ether solvents decreases with increasing number of branches and C/O ratio, we are more concerned with linear ethers of low C/O ratio (i.e. C/o=4, 5, 6).
After researching the matching behavior of lithium salt and solvent, we also choose Methyl Propyl Ether (MPE) to be added into the solvent as cosolvent, and the unique molecular structure thereof ensures that the electrolyte has the characteristics of low viscosity, medium polarity, inertness to lithium metal and low polysulfide solubility, thus ensuring that the electrolyte has low density and high ionic conductivity.
Based on the above technical analysis demonstration and implementation, in the ultralow density electrolyte provided by the embodiment, the single molecular structure of the nonaqueous organic solvent contains at most two nucleophilic sites and/or at most two fluorine atoms, the length of the main carbon chain is not more than 7 carbon atoms, and at most two alkane branched structures are contained; the dielectric constant of the nonaqueous organic solvent is less than 7, so that the polysulfide compound is limited by the polar functional group and is not dissociated or dissolved in the nonaqueous organic solvent;
further, the nonaqueous organic solvent at least comprises an ether or alkane with the density of less than 0.85g/ml and a corresponding fluorinated solvent, and the ether or alkane with the density of less than 0.85g/ml and the corresponding fluorinated solvent account for 20-90% of the total volume content of the nonaqueous organic solvent.
The density of the ultralow-density electrolyte provided by the invention is less than 0.9g/ml, and the total concentration range of lithium salt in the ultralow-density electrolyte is between 0.01M and 1.2M. Wherein the ratio of the density of the ultralow electrolyte to the density of the solvent is less than or equal to 1.1 at a concentration of lithium salt < 1.0M, and has an ionic conductivity of > 1 mS/cm.
Based on the above constraints on the lithium salt and the nonaqueous organic solvent, the lithium salt constituting the ultralow-density electrolyte of the invention may specifically include: lithium nitrate (LiNO) 3 ) Lithium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI), lithium 1,2, 3-hexafluoropropane-1, 3-disulfonimide (LiHFDF), lithium perchlorate (LiClO) 4 ) One or more of lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide (LiFSI), lithium trifluoroacetate (LiFSA), lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) trifluoromethylsulfonyl imide (LiFTFSI), lithium (tf) trifluoromethane sulfonate (LiTf), lithium bis (pentafluoroethane) sulfonyl imide (LiBETI).
The nonaqueous organic solvent includes: methyl Propyl Ether (MPE), which may further include Acetonitrile (AN), ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME), 1, 3-Dioxolane (DOL), dimethoxymethane (MMA), tetrahydrofuran (THF), methyl tetrahydrofuran (mehf), diethyl ether (EE), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), methyl n-butyl ether (MBE), propyl ether (DE), isopropyl ether (IPE), n-Pentane (PE), n-Hexane (HE), n-Heptane (HEP), n-Octane (OCT), fluorinated solvents corresponding to ether solvents among the above solvents, and one or more of isomers or fluorinated systems corresponding to AN alkane solvent among the above solvents.

TABLE 1
The ultra-light electrolyte provided by the embodiment of the invention has a positive effect on inhibiting polysulfide solubility due to the inhibition effect of multiphase extraction on polysulfide solubility. It should be noted that the proper polysulfide solubility of the ultra-light electrolyte not only helps to suppress the shuttle effect, but also provides a suitable environment for the solid-liquid conversion reaction kinetics of the positive electrode sulfur. The ultra-light electrolyte has higher ionic conductivity of 3.46 mS.cm at 25 DEG C -1 More importantly, it has an ultra low activation energy of 2.29 kj/mole, which results in a reduced energy barrier for ion transfer. In addition, the ultra-light electrolyte exhibits an abnormally low viscosity (0.45 to 1.20 mpa.s) in a wide temperature range of 0 to 50 ℃ and has a small fluctuation, which is much lower than the viscosity (1.73 to 3.11 mpa.s) of the conventional electrolyte and the viscosity (40 to 887 mpa.s) of the high-concentration electrolyte, thereby exhibiting excellent wettability to the porous separator and the electrode, which is advantageous for improving the rate performance of the active material.
The ultra-light electrolyte provided by the invention can still keep higher ion conductivity (3.73-4.74mS·cm -1 ) And moderate viscosity (0.55-2.37 MPa.S) -1 ). This will facilitate the efficient ingress of polysulfide dissolved in the electrolyte into the electrode pores, allowing the polysulfide to be fully reduced, thus achieving rapid transport of lithium ions and polysulfide actives that remain in lean conditions. Therefore, the effective redistribution of active substances in the charge and discharge processes of the lithium-sulfur battery is effectively improved, and the high-sulfur utilization rate can be realized.
The invention provides a novel ultralow-density electrolyte for solving the problem of high mass fraction of an inactive electrolyte in a lithium-sulfur full battery. The result shows that compared with the conventional electrolyte, the ultra-low density electrolytic solution provided by the invention has the advantages that the weight per unit volume is reduced by 30%, the ultra-low density electrolytic solution has good compatibility with lithium metal, the weight ratio of the electrolyte in the lithium-sulfur battery can be greatly reduced, the high sulfur utilization rate is maintained under the lean solution condition, and the energy density can be improved by more than 20% by introducing the ultra-low density electrolytic solution provided by the invention into the lithium-sulfur battery.
The ultralow-density electrolyte provided by the embodiment of the invention can greatly reduce the weight proportion of the electrolyte in the lithium-sulfur full battery under the condition of the same E/S ratio, thereby effectively improving the overall energy density of the lithium-sulfur battery and effectively improving the cycle stability of the lithium-sulfur battery.
The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, and is not meant to limit the scope of the invention, but to limit the invention to the particular embodiments, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements, etc. that fall within the spirit and principles of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
