随着电化学装置(例如,锂离子电池)的广泛应用,人们对其性能的要求越来越高。提高电化学装置的能量密度的主要方法包括提高电化学装置的充电电压。然而,当提高电化学装置的充电电压时,较高的充电电压会加速正极活性材料(例如,其中的高价态的过渡金属)对电解液的氧化分解,还会导致释氧,进一步加速电解液的分解,从而使电化学装置的产气增加,进而影响电化学装置的循环性能和高温存储性能。
为了改善电化学装置的循环性能和高温存储性能,本申请提供了一种电解液,其包括式I-A化合物、式I-B化合物和式I-C化合物:

其中:
n选自1-8的整数;
R11、R12、R13和R14各自独立地选自氢、卤素或经取代或未经取代的C1-C5烷基,且R11、R12、R13和R14中的至少一者是经取代或未经取代的C1-C5烷基;
R15选自C2-C4亚烷基、C2-C4亚烯基、
R17、R18和R19各自独立选自单键、C1-C5亚烷基或C1-C5亚烷氧基;
经取代时,取代基各自独立地为卤素;并且
表示两个相邻原子的连接位点;
并且其中基于所述电解液的质量,

式I-A化合物、式I-B化合物和式I-C化合物均为多腈化合物。多个氰基的存在可以稳定正极活性材料(例如,正极活性材料中的过渡金属)。式I-A化合物存在支链,其会增加空间位阻,增强对正极界面的保护,但其粘度较大。式I-B化合物具有较小的粘度。式I-C化合物对正极活性材料的稳定性强。当电解液中式I-A化合物、式I-B化合物和式I-C化合物的含量太低时,其难以发挥有效作用。随着电解液中式I-A化合物、式I-B化合物和式I-C化合物的含量的增加,其显示出对电化学装置的循环阻抗增长和高温存储电压降的改善效果,然而继续增加电解液中式I-A化合物、式I-B化合物和式I-C化合物的含量难以继续提升其效果。过量的式I-A化合物反而会增大电解液的粘度,从而对电化学装置的动力学性能产生不利影响。当电解液中同时包含特定含量的式I-A化合物、式I-B化合物和式I-C化合物时,电解液具有恰当的粘度并且可稳定正极活性材料,保护正极界面,起到抑制电解液分解的作用,从而可显著减少电化学装置的循环阻抗增长和 高温存储电压降,由此显著提升电化学装置的循环性能和高温存储性能,同时可获得较小粘度的电解液,提升了电化学装置的动力学性能。

1、锂离子电池的循环性能的测试方法
在25℃条件下,将锂离子电池以0.7C充电至4.5V,4.5V条件下恒压充电至0.05C。之后以0.7C的电流放电至3.0V,并以0.7C充电和1C放电的流程,循环进行800次。测试第3次和第800次循环的放电容量,并在1000Hz条件下测试第3圈循环后和第300次循环后的阻抗。通过下式计算锂离子电池的循环容量保持率和循环阻抗增长率:
循环容量保持率=第800次循环的放电容量/第3次循环的放电容量×100%,
循环阻抗增长率=第300次循环后的阻抗/第3次循环后的阻抗×100%。
2、锂离子电池的高温存储性能的测试方法
在25℃条件下,将锂离子电池以0.5C恒流充电至4.55V,然后恒压充电至电流为0.05C,测试开路电压记为V0,测试锂离子电池的厚度并记为d0。将锂离子电池放置到60℃烘箱当中20天,然后测量厚度记为d,测试电压记为V1。
通过下式计算锂离子电池的高温存储厚度膨胀率和高温存储电压降:
高温存储厚度膨胀率=(d-d0)/d0×100%,
高温存储电压降=V0-V1。
当锂离子电池的厚度膨胀率超过50%,停止测试。
三、测试结果
表1展示了电解液中式I-A化合物、式I-B化合物和式I-C化合物及其含量对 锂离子电池的循环性能和高温存储性能的影响。
表1

如对比例1-4所示,当电解液仅包含式I-A化合物、式I-B化合物和式I-C化合物中的一种或两种时,锂离子电池具有较高的循环阻抗增长率和高温存储电压降。如对比例5和6所示,虽然电解液同时包含式I-A化合物、式I-B化合物和式I-C化合物,但对比例5中的式I-A化合物,对比例6中的式I-C化合物的含量过高,对降低锂离子电池的循环阻抗增长率的作用不明显,甚至会可能会导致成本升高,仍无法满足使用需求。
如实施例1-25所示,当电解液同时包含0.12%-5.0%的式I-A化合物、0.12%-5.0%的式I-B化合物和0.12%-3.0%的式I-C化合物时,锂离子电池的循环阻抗增长率和高温存储电压降显著降低。当电解液中式I-A化合物的含量在0.5%至4.2%的范围内、式I-B化合物的含量在0.5%至4.2%的范围内且式I-C化合物 的含量在0.5%至3.0%的范围内时,可进一步降低锂离子电池的循环阻抗增长率和高温存储电压降。
当电解液式I-C化合物的含量(Z%)与式I-A化合物的含量(X%)满足Z/X在0.1至3.0的范围内时,可进一步降低锂离子电池的循环阻抗增长率和高温存储电压降。当Z/X在0.6至2.5的范围内时,锂离子电池的循环阻抗增长率和高温存储电压降得到进一步优化。
当电解液式I-B化合物的含量(Y%)与式I-A化合物的含量(X%)满足Y/X在0.12至5.0的范围内时,可进一步降低锂离子电池的循环阻抗增长率和高温存储电压降。
表2展示了电解液中含硫氧双键化合物、化合物IV和含硼锂盐及其含量对锂离子电池的循环性能和高温存储性能的影响。


在电解液同时包含0.12%-5.0%的式I-A化合物、0.12%-5-0%的式I-B化合物和0-12%-3-0%的式I-C化合物的基础上,在电解液中添加0-01%至15%的式III化合物可进一步改善锂离子电池的循环容量保持率。
