Description

Electrolyte applied to magnesium ion battery and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnesium ion batteries, in particular to electrolyte applied to a magnesium ion battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Due to the limited and uneven distribution of lithium resources in the crust, the cost of lithium metal is increased dramatically, and therefore, the development of energy storage systems other than lithium is urgently needed to meet the market demand. The theoretical specific capacity of the metal magnesium as a negative electrode is 2205mAh/g (3833 mAh/mL), the electrode potential is about-2.37V vs. SHE, and the mining cost of the metal magnesium is only about 1/24 of that of lithium. Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries have been regarded as one of the most promising energy storage technologies other than lithium due to the use of polyvalent magnesium metal cathodes with high capacity, high safety, high abundance, and uniform deposition. Although research on magnesium ion batteries is still in the early stages compared to lithium ion batteries, several breakthrough research advances have been made, including the construction of highly reversible electrode systems, the design of ether-based electrolytes for efficient magnesium deposition and reversible magnesium ion transport, and the development of magnesium storage positive electrode materials with high theoretical energy density. However, a key obstacle to practical application of high-performance magnesium ion batteries is slow magnesium ion storage kinetics in the positive electrode material, which leads to a large gap between the performance of the positive electrode material and the theoretical capacity in practical tests.
Copper selenide (e.g. CuSe, cu) 2 Se、Cu 3 Se 2 And Cu 2-x Se) material due to metal ions and Se 2- The weak interaction between the materials and the good conductivity are considered by researchers to be potential cathode materials with rapid magnesium storage kinetics. In the initial study, a nanosized CuSe positive electrode was 50mA g in chlorine-containing electrolyte -1 Exhibit about 200mAh g -1 (54% of theoretical capacity) reversible discharge capacity. However, the CuSe positive electrode has poor performance at high currents, which may be due to the large energy barrier for Mg — Cl bond rupture in chlorine-containing electrolytes and the corrosive effects of chlorine-containing electrolytes.
The chlorine-free electrolyte can avoid the corrosion effect of the chlorine-containing electrolyte in the magnesium ion battery, so that the high-current performance of the nano CuSe anode material is obviously improved, but the reversible discharge specific capacity is still far lower than the theoretical capacity (376 mAh/g), and the high-current magnesium storage performance of the magnesium ion battery anode cannot be met.

Nuclear magnetic resonance testing
The powders obtained by volatilizing the solvent in the electrolytes of examples 1 and 3 were subjected to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and the results are shown in fig. 1.
NMR results showed that the end group-CH on DME, which is more sensitive to shielding, was found after addition of the magnesium salt of electrolyte MgBHFIP in solvent DME (curve ii) 3 Chemical shifts to the high field direction occurred, indicating Mg dissolved in DME 2+ There is an interaction force for the DME. According to the integration result of the hydrogen spectrum area, the structure of magnesium ions in the electrolyte of example 1 is [ Mg (DME) 3 ] 2+
After simultaneous addition of the magnesium salt of electrolyte MgBHFIP and the additive NaOTf in the solvent DME (curve iii), the end group-CH on DME 3 Further deflection to higher field direction indicates stronger interaction of cations to DME in the mixed electrolyte. From the results of integration of the hydrogen spectral area, examples3 cation (Mg) in electrolyte 2+ And Na + ) The 4 DME molecules are complexed together.
Laser Raman spectroscopy test
Laser Raman (Raman) spectroscopy was performed on the electrolytes of examples 1 and 3, and the results are shown in fig. 2.
Raman spectroscopy showed that, after addition of the magnesium salt of electrolyte MgBHFIP in solvent DME (curve ii), a peak representing the interaction of magnesium ions with DME appeared at 878cm -1 This result corresponds to the NMR result, and the structure of magnesium ions in the electrolyte in example 1 is [ Mg (DME) ] 3 ] 2+
After the simultaneous addition of the magnesium salt of electrolyte MgBHFIP and the additive NaOTf in solvent DME (curve iii), the peak representing the interaction of magnesium ions with DME was 878cm -1 Offset to 876cm -1 Indicating that the number of molecules of DME interacting with magnesium ions is reduced. While a peak representing the interaction between sodium ions and DME appeared at 866cm -1 Magnesium ion and OTf - The peak of anionic interaction appeared at 1054cm -1 And 766cm -1 . Combined 780-900cm -1 The result of area integration after peak separation of Raman spectrum of DME and NMR data between the two results revealed that the structure of magnesium ion in the electrolyte of example 3 was [ Mg (DME) 2.5 OTf] +
In combination with NRM and Raman, it can be seen that the solvation structure of magnesium ions in the electrolyte of example 1 is [ Mg (DME) 3 ] 2+ Example 3 solvation structure of magnesium ions in electrolyte was [ Mg (DME) 2.5 OTf] +
It can be demonstrated that when the organic magnesium salt of the electrolyte is dissolved in the ether solvent, the organic magnesium salt is dissociated into magnesium cations [ Mg (solvent) complexed with the solvent x ] 2+ And the anion BHFIP - The anion in the additive participates in the solvation structure of the magnesium ion to change the solvation structure of the magnesium ion, and the solvation structure of the magnesium ion is formed by [ Mg (solvent) x ] 2+ Change to [ Mg (solvent) m (anion) n ] +
Conductivity test
The electrolytes obtained in examples 1 to 8 were tested using a Mettler Toledo conductivity tester.
The electrolyte conductivity was measured to be 11.2mS/cm in example 1, 12.4mS/cm in example 2, 13.3mS/cm in example 3, 10.9mS/cm in example 4, 11.5mS/cm in example 5, 11.7mS/cm in example 6, 11.5mS/cm in example 7, 12.3mS/cm in example 8, 12.6mS/cm in example 9, 10.5mS/cm in example 10, 8.6mS/cm in example 11, 13.4mS/cm in example 12, 11.7mS/cm in example 13, and 13.7mS/cm in example 14.
From the above, it can be seen that the addition of a suitable concentration of NaOTf additive can increase the conductivity of the magnesium ion electrolyte, but too high a concentration of the additive can decrease the conductivity. The conductivity of the electrolyte exceeds 8mS/cm, and when the concentration of solute magnesium salt is 0.3mol/L, the conductivity of the electrolyte exceeds 10mS/cm, thereby proving that the electrolyte has high ionic conductivity.

The charge and discharge test was performed using the novyi electrochemical workstation.
As shown in FIG. 9, the specific discharge capacity of the copper selenide positive electrode at a current density of 100mA/g in the electrolyte of example 1 at the first turn is 58mAh/g. After 60 cycles of charge-discharge activation, the copper selenide positive electrode reaches the maximum discharge specific capacity of 228mAh/g (61 percent of the theoretical specific capacity). In the electrolyte of example 3, the first circle of the copper selenide positive electrode has a specific discharge capacity of 170mAh/g, and the maximum specific discharge capacity is 357mAh/g (95% of the theoretical specific capacity) after the activation of 40 circles.
