Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to rechargeable battery systems, and more specifically to the chemistry of such systems, including operative electrolyte additives and electrodes for improving the properties of the rechargeable lithium-ion-battery systems.
  • Rechargeable batteries are an integral component of energy-storage systems for electric vehicles and for grid storage (for example, for backup power during a power outage, as part of a microgrid, etc.).
  • Li-ion-based batteries are a common type of rechargeable battery.
  • Electrolyte additives have been shown to be operative and increase the lifetime and performance of Li-ion-based batteries.
  • J. C. Burns et al. Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 160, A1451 (2013)
  • five proprietary, undisclosed electrolyte additives were shown to increase cycle life compared to an electrolyte system with no or only one additive.
  • Other studies have focused on performance gains from electrolyte systems containing three or four additives as described in U.S. 2017/0025706.
  • researchers typically do not understand the interaction between different additives that allow them to work together synergistically with the electrolyte and specific positive and negative electrodes.
  • the composition of additive blends of certain systems is often based on trial and error and cannot be predicted beforehand.
  • US20170025706 discloses that a third compound, often tris(- trimethly-silyl)-phosphate (TTSP) or tris(-trimethyl-silyl)-phosphite (TTSPi), was necessary in concentrations of between 0.25-3 wt% to produce a robust lithium-ion-battery system. ⁇ See, e.g., U.S. 2017/0025706 at If 72.) However, because additives can be expensive and difficult to include within Li-ion batteries on a manufacture scale, simpler, yet effective battery systems are needed, including those with fewer additives. SUMMARY
  • This disclosure covers novel battery systems with fewer operative, electrolyte additives that may be used in different energy storage applications, for example, in vehicle and grid-storage. More specifically, this disclosure includes two-additive electrolyte systems that enhance performance and lifetime of Li-ion batteries, while reducing costs from other systems that rely on more additives. This disclosure also discloses effective positive electrodes and negative electrodes that work with the disclosed two-additive electrolyte systems to provide further systematic enhancements.
  • Two-operative, additive electrolyte systems disclosed include 1) vinylene carbonate (VC) combined with l,3,2-dioxathiolane-2,2-dioxide (DTD, also known as ethylene sulfate) or another sulfur-containing additive (such as methylene methane disulfonate, trimethylene sulfate, 3-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid ⁇ -sultone, glycol sulfite, or another sulfur-containing additive), 2) fluoro ethylene carbonate (FEC) combined with DTD or another sulfur-containing additive, and 3) prop-l-ene-l,3-sultone (PES) combined with DTD or another sulfur- containing additive.
  • VTD vinylene carbonate
  • DTD l,3,2-dioxathiolane-2,2-dioxide
  • FEC fluoro ethylene carbonate
  • PES prop-l-ene-l,3-sultone
  • a mixture of VC and FEC may be considered as only a single operative electrolyte. That is, another disclosed two-operative, additive electrolyte system includes a mixture of VC and FEC combined with DTD or another sulfur-containing additive. When used as part of a greater battery system (which includes the electrolyte, electrolyte solvent, positive electrode, and negative electrode), these two-operative, additive electrolyte systems produce desirable properties for energy storage applications, including in vehicle and grid applications.
  • the electrolyte solvent may be the following solvents alone or in combination: ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), methyl acetate, propylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, another carbonate solvent (cyclic or acyclic), another organic solvent, and/or another non-aqueous solvent. Solvents are present in concentrations greater than the additives, typically greater than 6% by weight.
  • the solvent may be combined with the disclosed two-additive pairs (such as VC with DTD, FEC with DTD, a mixture of VC and FEC with DTD, or another combination) to form a battery system with desirable properties for different applications.
  • the positive electrode may be coated with a material such as aluminum oxide (AI2O3), titanium dioxide (T1O2), or another coating.
  • the negative electrode may be formed from natural graphite, however depending on the pricing structure, in certain instances artificial graphite is cheaper than natural graphite.
  • Exemplary battery systems include two additives (for example, FEC, VC, or PES and DTD or another sulfur- based additive), a graphite negative electrode (either naturally occurring graphite or an artificial, synthetic graphite), an NMC positive electrode, a lithium electrolyte (formed from, for example, a lithium salt such as lithium hexafluorophosphate with chemical composition LiPF 6 ), and an organic or non-aqueous solvent.

  • a lithium electrolyte formed from, for example, a lithium salt such as lithium hexafluorophosphate with chemical composition LiPF 6
  • organic or non-aqueous solvent for example, a lithium salt such as lithium hexafluorophosphate with chemical composition LiPF 6
  • a lithium-ion battery may include a negative electrode, a positive electrode comprising NMC with micrometer-scale grains, and a nonaqueous electrolyte comprising lithium ions dissolved in a first nonaqueous solvent, and an additive mixture having a first operative additive of either fluoro ethylene carbonate or vinylene carbonate and a second operative additive of either l,3,2-dioxathiolane-2,2-dioxide, another sulfur-containing additive, or lithium difluorophosphate.

  • Typical processing conditions lead to NMC electrodes with nanometer-sized particles packed into larger micrometer-sized agglomerates, creating grain boundaries on the nanometer scale. Grain boundaries are defects that tend to reduce desirable properties (for example, electrical properties), so it is typically desirable to reduce the number of grains and increase the grain size. Processing can create larger domains, on the micrometer size scale, thereby reducing the number of grain boundaries in the NMC electrodes, increasing electrical properties. The increase in properties is results in more robust battery systems.

  • Ultrahigh Precision Cycling and Storage Experiments To study the effectiveness of the battery systems of the present disclosure, including the operative electrolyte additives and electrodes, ultrahigh precision cycling (UHPC) was performed.
  • the standard UHPC procedure consisted of cycling cells between 2.8 and 4.3 V at 40°C using a current corresponding to C/20 for 15 cycles to produce the data.
  • UPHC is employed to measure the coulombic efficiency, charge endpoint capacity slippage and other parameters to an accuracy of 30 ppm, in the case of the coulombic efficiency. Details of the UHPC procedure are described in in T. M. Bond, J. C. Burns, D. A. Stevens, H. M. Dahn, and J. R. Dahn, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 160, A521 (2013), which is incorporated herein in its entirety.
  • Metrics measured and/or determined from the UHPC measurements of particular interest include the following: coulombic efficiency, normalized coulombic inefficiency, normalized charge endpoint capacity slippage, normalized discharge capacity (or fade rate), and delta V.
  • Coulombic efficiency is the discharge capacity (Qd) divided by charge capacity (Qc) of the previous cycle. It tracks the parasitic reactions happening at the in the Li-ion cell and includes contributions from both the positive and negative electrodes. A higher CE value indicates less electrolyte degradation in the cell.
  • Coulombic inefficiency per hour (CIE/h) is a normalized (per hour) coulombic inefficiency where the coulombic inefficiency is defined as 1-CE.
  • the battery systems may also include positive electrodes made from NMC111, NMC532, NMC811, NMC622, or another NMC composition (NMCxyz).
  • positive electrodes made from NMC532 with micrometer- scale grains have been shown to be particularly robust, in part because processing conditions created larger the grain sizes than typically processing conditions create.
  • Typical processing conditions lead to MC electrodes with nanometer-sized particles packed into larger micrometer-sized agglomerates, creating grain boundaries on the nanometer scale. Grain boundaries are defects that tend to reduce desirable properties (for example, electrical properties), so it is typically desirable to reduce the number of grains and increase the grain size.
  • Current processing can create larger domains, on the micrometer size scale, thereby reducing the number of grain boundaries in the NMC electrodes, increasing electrical properties. The increase in properties is results in more robust battery systems.

  • FIGs. 4A-J show the benefits of electrolytes with two additives— specifically VC + DTD and FEC + DTD.
  • the experimental data shows that adding DTD to an electrolyte system containing VC or FEC in a base electrolyte system containing 1.2M LiPF 6 in 30% ethylene carbonate and 70% ethyl methyl carbonate by weight increases the performance of electrolyte systems that contain only VC or FEC as additives.
  • FIGs. 4A-J illustrate that two-additive systems containing (VC + DTD and FEC + DTD) have a higher CE (lower electrolyte degradation in the cell) and lower charge endpoint motion (lower electrolyte degradation at the positive electrode) compared to systems without the additives, or with only one additive. Further, FIGs. 4A-J also show a desirable lower fade rate (Qd). Thus, an electrolyte system with two additives (VC + DTD and/or FEC + DTD) performs better (in terms of CIE/h, CE, charge end point slippage) than an electrolyte system that only contains a single additive of DTD, VC, or FEC.

  • FIGs. 5 A and 5B show that 1%) DTD without another additive shows the highest CIE/h and fractional slippage.
  • the two additives form a previously unexpected, synergistic effect causing the CIE/h and fractional slippage to be less in the two- additive electrolyte system compared to either single additive.
  • DTD decreases the fractional fade per hour, either as a single additive or as part of a two-additive electrolyte system with VC or FEC. This indicates that DTD is an important additive for increasing lifetime of the battery systems of the current invention.
  • other sulfur-containing compounds can function in a similar manner and increase battery lifetime.

  • Plating experiments test the ability to charge at a fast rate. Fast charging is very important in energy- storage when part of a vehicle, while slower charging rates may be acceptable in grid-storage applications. High rate charging is mainly limited by lithium plating on the negative electrode which leads to safety issues and diminishes cycle and calendar life. Electrolyte systems that allow higher charging rates without plating are thus advantageous. To study plating on the negative electrode, plating experiments were performed. Larger capacity loss indicates greater lithium plating.
  • Plating experiments were performed to test the charging ability of cells. After EIS measurements, cells were charged and discharged with constant currents (C-rates) of 1 C, 1.5 C, and 2.0 C between 2.8 and 4.1 V using a Maccor charger system at 20.0 ⁇ 0.1°C. Pair cells were tested for every charge rate to ensure reproducibility. In order to determine the active lithium loss during cycling, cells were cycled at C/20 one time before and after the high charge rate segments. The upper cutoff voltage was set to 4.1 V in order to minimize electrolyte oxidation at the positive electrode and to ensure that the cells were far from having a fully loaded negative electrode which would occur at 4.4 V for these cells. All pouch cells were cycled with external clamps to eliminate effects of small amounts of gas that may be produced during cycling. Cells were stopped after about 350 hours cycling or after the capacity loss reached 20%.

This indicates that the amount of plating in cells with DTD is less than in cells without. In addition to DTD, other sulfur-containing compounds can function in a similar manner to decrease plating.

  • the formation process is performed prior to cells being used in their intended application, such as grid storage or energy storage in an automobile, such as an electric vehicle.
  • cells are subject to a precisely controlled charge and discharge cycle, which is intended to activate the electrodes and electrolyte for use in their intended application.
  • gas is generated. If sufficient amounts of gas are generated (depending on the specific tolerances allowed by the cell and cell packaging), the gas may need to be released after the formation process and prior to application use. This typically requires the additional steps of breaking of a seal followed by a resealing. While these steps are common for many battery systems, it is desirable to remove them if possibly by choosing a system that produces less gas.
  • FIG. 20 shows the results of gas-generation experiments, in which the amount of gas generated was measured according to the procedure described above.
  • FIG. 20 shows that systems without DTD typically performed better, for example a system containing only 2% FEC as an additive, performs better than 1% FEC + 1% DTD and 2% FEC + 1% DTD.
  • FIG. 20 shows that two-additive electrolyte systems that include MMDS and PES or FEC do not produce much (if any) additional gas than when 2% PES or FEC is the only additive.
  • Methyl Acetate As Electrolyte Solvent: Methyl acetate, in concentrations of up to 60% by weight, is used as a solvent to reduce plating according to certain embodiments.
  • FIG. 25 shows the results of gas-generation experiments to determine the impact of MA as a solvent and presence of DTD as an additive on the formation gas generated.
  • the electrolyte systems tested include 2% of an additive (VC, FEC, and PES) in an electrolyte with 0%, 20%, and 40% MA.
  • the remaining electrolyte for 0% MA is 1.2M LiPF 6 in 30% ethylene carbonate and 70% ethyl methyl carbonate.
  • the remaining electrolyte for 20% MA is 1.2M LiPF 6 in 24% ethylene carbonate and 56% ethyl methyl carbonate.
  • the remaining electrolyte for 40% MA is 1.2M LiPF 6 in 18% ethylene carbonate and 42% ethyl methyl carbonate.
  • FIG. 25 shows that in two-additive electrolyte systems that contain VC or FEC with DTD, the increase of the amount of gas with the addition of MA varies less as the amount of MA increases. That is, the marginal amount of gas generated is less when DTD is part of the two-additive electrolyte system compared to a one-additive electrolyte system that has only VC or FEC.
  • FIGs. 45A and 45B summarize the results from in-situ gas experiments at 40°C. Cells with LFO, but no MA, show less gassing during hold segments of these tests.
  • the two-additive electrolyte systems and novel battery systems disclosed herein have low cell impedance. Minimizing cell impedance is desirable since cell impedance decrease the energy efficiency of a cell. Conversely, low impedance leads to a higher charging rate and higher energy efficiency.
  • Cell impedance was measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
  • EIS electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
  • the pouch cells used a single-crystal NMC532 positive electrode and an artificial negative electrode unless stated otherwise, with the EIS measurements performed after formation.
  • Cells were charged or discharged to 3.80 V before they were moved to a 10.0 +/- 0.1 °C temperature box.
  • AC impedance spectra were collected with ten points per decade from 100 kHz to 10 mUz with a signal amplitude of 10 mV at 10.0 +/- 0.1 °C. From the measured AC impedance, the charge transfer resistance (R c t) was calculated and plotted.
  • FIG. 21 shows experimental data of cell charge transfer impedance experiments for two-additive electrolyte systems consisting of 1% DTD with 1% or 2% of PES, FEC, or VC.
  • FIG. 21 shows that these two-additive electrolyte systems of 1% DTD with 1% or 2% of PES, FEC, or VC do not significantly increase the cell charge transfer impendence.
  • Methyl Acetate As Electrolyte Solvent: Methyl acetate, in concentrations of up to 60% by weight, is used as a solvent to reduce plating according to certain embodiments.
  • FIG. 26 shows the results of cell-charge transfer impedance experiments on electrolyte systems consisting of one- and two-additive systems with MA as one of the solvents.
  • the additive- electrolyte systems tested included 2% of additives VC, FEC, and PES without and without 1% DTD to show impact of the DTD and MA to the electrolyte system in an electrolyte solvent with 0%, 20%, and 40% MA.
  • the electrolyte for 0% MA is 1.2M LiPF 6 in 30% ethylene carbonate and 70% ethyl methyl carbonate.
  • the remaining electrolyte for 20% MA is 1.2M LiPF 6 in 24% ethylene carbonate and 56% ethyl methyl carbonate.
  • the remaining electrolyte for 40% MA is 1.2M LiPF 6 in 18% ethylene carbonate and 42% ethyl methyl carbonate.
  • FIG. 26 shows that DTD produces only slight increases in charge transfer impedance. Further, in two-additive electrolyte systems that contain VC or FEC with DTD, the addition of MA decreases cell charge transfer impedance. At 40% MA solvent, the VC + DTD and FEC + DTD systems showed reduced charge transfer impedance from the corresponding systems without DTD and no MA as a solvent. In the PES + DTD two-additive electrolyte system, MA also reduced the charge transfer impedance of the system.
