Definitions
- Electrolyte compositions for energy storage cells with fast charge and discharge capabilities are provided.
- the invention relates to energy storage cells, e.g. hybrid supercapacitors, with fast charge and discharge capabilities as well as their components, such as electrodes and electrolytes.
- macropores, mesopores and micropores are based on the classification adopted by IUPAC, according to which macropores have a pore diameter greater than 50 nm, mesopores have a pore diameter between 2 nm and 50 nm, and micropores have a pore diameter of less than 2 nm.
- microporous, mesoporous or macroporous indicated that the corresponding type of pores is present. It does not exclude the presence of other types of pores, e.g. a microporous material is not limited to having only micropores, but may also include meso- and/or macropores.
- the particle sizes as used herein are measured by laser diffraction in a liquid medium. Auxiliary materials such as surfactants can be used. The evaluation of the measurement is carried out according to Mie and/or Fraunhofer.
- DX with size S e.g. D90 30 pm means that 90 % of particles have a size smaller than 30 pm.
- This terminology is not limited to particle sizes and can be used for other size distributions.
- Gravimetric surface area i.e. surface area per unit weight, refers to values obtained by nitrogen physisorption in conjunction with the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) and Rouquerol evaluation methods, as described in the IUPAC Technical Report: "Physisorption of gases, with special reference to the evaluation of surface area and pore size distribution (IUPAC Technical Report)" by Thommes et al., Pure Appl. Chem. 2015; 87(9-10): 1051 -1069. This disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. For the sake of brevity the gravimetric surface area so determined is also referred to as BET nitrogen surface area.
- the cells may serve as traction battery, intermediate energy storage for kinetic energy recovery systems, or energy storage for mechanical assistance systems, such as anti-skid systems or active shock absorbers.
- energy storage for mechanical assistance systems, such as anti-skid systems or active shock absorbers.
- grid regulation the cells store excess produced energy, in particular excess wind or solar energy, and help closing the energy gap in situations of high demand.
- Energy storage cells may generally be divided into batteries and capacitors. While batteries store electric energy in chemical form, capacitors usually store electric energy in the electric field. Batteries are usually not capable of achieving the peak powers that are required for the abovementioned applications.
- Ultracapacitors also known as supercapacitors, are a kind of capacitor and can be separated into double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors.
- the former store electrical energy in an electrostatic double-layer, whereas the latter store the electrical energy electrochemically, but in a different manner than batteries.
- hybrid (super)capacitors have been developed that combine the features of double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors.
- capacitors usually exhibit a large voltage variation during charging and discharging, whereas batteries do not.
- the main advantage for capacitors is that they are highly suitable for applications that require large peak powers or - in other words - a large energy transfer within very short time.

Description
Electrolyte compositions for energy storage cells with fast charge and discharge capabilites
The invention relates to energy storage cells, e.g. hybrid supercapacitors, with fast charge and discharge capabilities as well as their components, such as electrodes and electrolytes.
The terms used herein for macropores, mesopores and micropores are based on the classification adopted by IUPAC, according to which macropores have a pore diameter greater than 50 nm, mesopores have a pore diameter between 2 nm and 50 nm, and micropores have a pore diameter of less than 2 nm. Furthermore, as used herein, the terms microporous, mesoporous or macroporous indicated that the corresponding type of pores is present. It does not exclude the presence of other types of pores, e.g. a microporous material is not limited to having only micropores, but may also include meso- and/or macropores.
The particle sizes as used herein are measured by laser diffraction in a liquid medium. Auxiliary materials such as surfactants can be used. The evaluation of the measurement is carried out according to Mie and/or Fraunhofer. In a typical manner, the fraction X of particles with a size smaller than S is referred to as DX with size S, e.g. D90 30 pm means that 90 % of particles have a size smaller than 30 pm. This terminology is not limited to particle sizes and can be used for other size distributions.
Gravimetric surface area, i.e. surface area per unit weight, refers to values obtained by nitrogen physisorption in conjunction with the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) and Rouquerol evaluation methods, as described in the IUPAC Technical Report: "Physisorption of gases, with special reference to the evaluation of surface area and pore size distribution (IUPAC Technical Report)" by Thommes et al., Pure Appl. Chem. 2015; 87(9-10): 1051 -1069. This disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. For the sake of brevity the gravimetric surface area so determined is also referred to as BET nitrogen surface area.
In recent years the demand for energy storage cells has substantially increased, be it in the field of automobiles, industrial applications, mass transportation, or grid regulation. The cells may serve as traction battery, intermediate energy storage for kinetic energy recovery systems, or energy storage for mechanical assistance systems, such as anti-skid systems or active shock absorbers. In grid regulation the cells store excess produced energy, in particular excess wind or solar energy, and help closing the energy gap in situations of high demand. For all these applications it is useful to have a type of energy storage cell that allows for fast charging or discharging, or in other words a high peak power.
Energy storage cells may generally be divided into batteries and capacitors. While batteries store electric energy in chemical form, capacitors usually store electric energy in the electric field. Batteries are usually not capable of achieving the peak powers that are required for the abovementioned applications.
Ultracapacitors, also known as supercapacitors, are a kind of capacitor and can be separated into double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors. The former store electrical energy in an electrostatic double-layer, whereas the latter store the electrical energy electrochemically, but in a different manner than batteries. Recently, hybrid (super)capacitors have been developed that combine the features of double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors.
These capacitors usually exhibit a large voltage variation during charging and discharging, whereas batteries do not. The main advantage for capacitors is that they are highly suitable for applications that require large peak powers or - in other words - a large energy transfer within very short time.
This capability, in particular for supercapacitors, is not without limits, since in general the actually usable capacity depends on the discharge current: the larger the current, the smaller the usable capacity.
US 5 258 245 A discloses a lithium battery comprising a positive electrode mainly of vanadium pentoxide, a negative electrode mainly of lithium doped niobium pentoxide, and an electrolyte mainly of an anhydrous solvent with dissolved lithium salt.
US 2021 / 0 110 980 A1 , US 2021 / 0 1 10 979 A1 , and US 2021 / 0 218 048 A1 disclose cell concepts that employ three or four electrodes.

In an embodiment the proportion of CNTs deviates from the proportion of graphene or vice versa by less than 10%. In an embodiment the proportions of CNTs and graphene are identical.
In an embodiment the electrolyte includes a lithium conductive salt, 80 vol% to 95 vol% acetonitrile, and 5 vol% to 20 vol% ethylenecarbonate.
In an embodiment the lithium conductive salt is selected from a group consisting of lithium perchlorate (LiCICU), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4), lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPFe), lithium hexafluoroarsenate (LiAsFe), lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiSOaCFs), lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiN(SO2CF3)2), lithium bis(pentafluoroethanesulfonyl)imide (LiN(SO2C2Fs)2), and mixtures thereof. In an embodiment the lithium conductive salt is LiPFe.
The Nb20s particles allow redox reactions and insertion of lithium ions into their crystal structure. The microporous carbon particles include micropores that allow for the formation of an electrochemical double-layer in the micropores. As a result, the equivalent series resistance (ESR) at room temperature can be reduced to below 4 mO for 1 s (dis-)charging time. For shorter (dis-)charging times of 10 ms the ESR can be reduced further to below 1 mO. For temperatures down to -20 °C, the 1 s ESR is still below 15 mO and the 10 ms ESR is below 2 mfl. At -35°C the 1 s ESR increases to 85 mO and the 10 ms ESR to about 30 mO.
Experiments of the Applicant found that particular compositions of the conductive addtives allow improvement of the available gravimetric capacity depending on the gravimetric current. The gravimetric capacity is the amount of milliamperehours per gram of active material, whereas the gravimetric current is the amount of milliamperes per gram of active material.
The addition of either graphene or CNTs improves the available gravimetric capacity for gravimetric currents below 400 mA/g. Surprisingly, the addition of CNTs and graphene with an equal amount works best, in particular for the positive electrode. Here, a gravimetric capacity between 80 mAh/g and 120 mAh/g can be achieved for gravimetric currents of up to 1000 mA/g. The largest gain is obtained for gravimetric currents of more than 200 mA/g, where the available gravimetric capacity is about 2-fold to 5-fold compared to an electrode with only one conductive additive.
An increase by a factor of two of the available gravimetric capacity for the negative electrode can be achieved with the addition of CNTs to carbon black alone. Using CNTs allows the available gravimetric capacity to be above 80 mAh/g for gravimetric currents up to 1000 mA/g.
Another improvement is the available cell voltage. Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) may have a cell voltage of about 4.2 V taking into account sacrificial additives in the electrolyte that passivate the electrode. This is undesirable here, since the passivation, particularly on the carbon component on the anode side, reduces the available peak power capacity. Due to the use of lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2C ) a cell voltage of up to 3.0 V is possible. Further improvement is possible with the electrolyte composition, which is stable enough to achieve these voltages.
The active materials of the electrodes allow a higher electrode density, which at least for ultracapacitors translates to a higher energy density.
Overall, Applicant found that the cell energy, i.e. watthours per kilogram of active material, can be doubled compared to conventional cells. While the cell energy is dependent on the cell power, i.e. watts per kilogram of active material, the improvement is irrespective of the cell power. Thus, an overall improvement of the electrical properties can be achieved for a wide range of applications.
