Description

Gel electrolyte, preparation method thereof and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of secondary batteries, and particularly relates to a gel electrolyte, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery.
Background
The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high energy density, long cycle life, high working voltage and the like, and not only occupies a dominant role in the aspect of automobile power batteries, but also is widely applied to a plurality of high-tech fields such as mobile communication, satellites, high-end electronic equipment and the like. However, with the continuous improvement of the energy density of the lithium ion battery, the production and the use of the lithium ion battery are greatly limited by the potential safety hazard.
Thermal runaway is a major cause of safety accidents of lithium ion batteries, and liquid electrolyte occupies a major role in factors causing thermal runaway. The ionic conductivity and chemical property of the gel polymer electrolyte are closer to those of the liquid electrolyte, and the safety performance is closer to that of the solid electrolyte, so that the gel polymer electrolyte has wide application potential in solving the problem of the safety performance of the lithium battery. However, the gel electrolyte has lower conductivity than the liquid electrolyte and lower lithium ion transmission efficiency, so that the direct current impedance is high, and the electric performance of the lithium battery is adversely affected.
The prior art discloses a three-dimensional crosslinked network gel polymer electrolyte which is obtained by reacting a polyether chain segment compound with two ends blocked by amino groups and diisocyanate in electrolyte under the condition of adding or not adding a catalyst; the obtained product has high ionic conductivity, and the safety performance of the lithium battery prepared by the product is improved. However, the reaction of the amino-terminated polyether chain segment compound and diisocyanate in the electrolyte is gradual polymerization, so that small molecule residues are easy to generate, and the electrical property and the safety performance of the battery are affected. Also disclosed in the prior art is a process based on in situ thermal polymerization and the use of the flame retardant gel electrolyte. The flame-retardant gel electrolyte has high ion migration number, good flame retardant property and excellent electrochemical stability. However, the introduction of a phosphorus-containing vinyl compound (containing a large amount of benzene rings) causes deterioration of the impregnation of the gel electrolyte into the positive and negative electrodes, and the impedance of the battery becomes large.

2. Battery performance test
The lithium ion batteries prepared in each example and comparative example were selected, and the direct current internal resistance and cycle performance of the batteries were tested by using GB/T-31467.1-2015 (lithium ion power storage battery pack and system for electric automobile, part 1: high power application test procedure) and GB/T-31484-2015 (power storage battery cycle life requirement for electric automobile and experimental method), and the results are shown in Table 2 and FIG. 1.
TABLE 2
3. Safety test
Selecting lithium ion batteries prepared in each example and comparative example, and performing needling experiments by using GB/T-31485-2015 (safety requirements and test methods of a power storage battery for an electric automobile), wherein the lithium ion batteries are not exploded and do not fire after the needling experiments in examples 1-8; fires and explosions occurred in each of comparative examples 1-7.
From the above experimental results, it is clear that the high conductivity electrolyte formed by vinyl-terminated polyethylene glycol, acrylonitrile and vinyl-terminated silicone oil has conductivity similar to that of the liquid electrolyte (comparative example 1), and is far higher than that of other gel electrolytes (comparative examples 2 to 7), and the capability of transmitting lithium ions is greatly enhanced (compared with the common gel electrolytes).
From the data of electrical properties, the DC internal resistance (DCR) values in examples 1-8 were not greatly increased compared to comparative example 1 (liquid electrolyte), but the DCR values in examples 1-8 were much lower compared to comparative examples 2-7 (other gel electrolytes), indicating that the introduction of vinyl terminated polyethylene glycol can effectively reduce the DC internal resistance of the gel electrolyte; examples 1 to 8 are excellent in cycle performance, the capacity retention rate after 150 cycles is 95% or more, the cycle test results of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3 are shown in FIG. 1, the curves of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3 are shown in the top-down order, and the curves of other examples are not shown. The high-conductivity gel electrolyte prepared by the invention has excellent electrical properties. As can be seen from the data of safety performance, the gel electrolyte can effectively improve the safety performance of the battery. The difference of the results of comparative example 2 shows that the introduction of propylene carbonate has important significance in improving the integrity of the three-dimensional network structure of the gel electrolyte, improving the coating integrity of the gel on positive and negative active substances, improving the safety performance of the battery and the like. The results of comparative examples 2 to 7 demonstrate that only gels constructed from the monomers and monomer ratios specified in this example have the characteristics of high conductivity and high safety.
It is apparent that the above examples are given by way of illustration only and are not limiting of the embodiments. Other variations or modifications of the above teachings will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. It is not necessary here nor is it exhaustive of all embodiments. And obvious variations or modifications thereof are contemplated as falling within the scope of the present invention.
