DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE
[0104] Specific implementations of the present disclosure will be described below. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part of embodiments of the present disclosure rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those ordinarily skilled in the art without involving inventive effort based on the embodiments in the present disclosure fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0105] The present disclosure provides a capacity-compensation electrolyte, including a non-aqueous organic solvent, an electrolyte salt and a capacity-compensation electrolyte additive capable of compensating ions and electrons, which can compensate for active ions and electrons lacked by SEI formed in the first cycle and active substance losses in the cycle process.
[0106] Wherein the electrolyte additive includes:
[0107] a component capable of compensation ions and electrons simultaneously, or
[0108] a composition of a component capable of compensating ions and a component capable of compensating electrons;
[0109] the component capable of compensating ions and electrons simultaneously refers to a component capable of decomposing and releasing active ions and electrons simultaneously in the electrolyte during the working process of the battery;
[0110] the component capable of compensating ions refers to a component capable of decomposing and releasing active ions in the electrolyte during the working process of the battery; and
[0111] the component capable of compensating electrons refers to a component capable of decomposing and releasing electrons in the electrolyte during the working process of the battery.
[0112] The active ions refer to ions capable of being reversibly deintercalated between a cathode and an anode of a secondary battery.
[0113] In reported lithium compensation technologies, the lithium compensation additive is mostly added to electrodes, while lithium compensation in the electrodes has the risk of irreversible damage to electrode plates in the decomposition process. Negative effects on the electrodes can be avoided in a lithium compensation mode of the electrolyte. However, existing reports on the lithium compensation mode of the electrolyte have the phenomenon of poor compatibility between some lithium salts and an electrolyte solvent, so that a co-solvent needs to be additionally added. In the existing reports, usually the lithium compensation effect can be achieved only in the first cycle, and capacity losses caused by the reasons such as volume expansion and pulverization in the cycle process cannot be compensated.
[0114] The present disclosure creatively provides a solution capable of compensating ions and electrons simultaneously, the purpose of compensating electrons is to perform decomposition prior to other components in the electrolyte in the cycle process of the secondary battery, so as to supply needed electrons to capacity compensation, and the purpose of compensating ions is to supply needed ions to capacity compensation in the cycle process of the secondary battery. The component capable of compensating electrons is independently added, so that the active ions needed by capacity compensation cannot be supplied; and the component capable of compensating ions is independently added, it cannot decompose prior to other components in the electrolyte solution, so that active ions cannot be supplied. The electrons and the active ions needed by capacity compensation can be supplied in time when the active ion losses are generated in the cycle process of the battery only by compensating ions and electrons simultaneously, so as to ensure the good cycle property of the battery.
[0115] According to some implementations of the present application, the component capable of compensating ions and electrons simultaneously is selected from salts which contain active ion elements and have oxidation potential lower than that of a cathode material; and such salts can decompose prior to delithiation of the cathode material in the electrolyte during the working process of the battery to supply the active ions and the electrons needed by capacity compensation.
[0116] The component capable of compensating ions is selected from salts containing active ion elements; and such salts can supply additional active ions in the electrolyte during the working process of the battery, but they need to fit in with the component capable of compensation electrons to supply additional electrons for capacity compensation as their oxidation potential is high.
[0117] The component capable of compensating electrons is selected from one or more of ethers, sulfones, esters and thiophenes with oxidation potential lower than that of the cathode material; the ethers, the sulfones, the esters and the thiophenes can supply additional electrons in the electrolyte during the working process of the battery as their oxidation potential is usually low, and can achieve capacity compensation in combination with the component capable of compensating ions.
[0118] According to some implementations of the present application, in the lithium-ion battery, the component capable of compensating ions and electrons simultaneously includes one or more combinations of Li.sub.xP.sub.y and Li.sub.mS.sub.n, where, 0<x≤3, 0<y≤11, 0<m≤3, and 0<n≤11;
[0119] according to some implementations of the present application, in the lithium-ion battery, preferably, 1≤x<3, and 4≤y≤10 in Li.sub.xP.sub.y, more preferably, Li.sub.xP.sub.y is selected from LiP.sub.4, LiP.sub.5, LiP.sub.7, LiP.sub.8 and LiP.sub.10, and most preferably, is selecting from LiP.sub.5 and LiP.sub.7; and
[0120] according to some implementations of the present application, in the lithium-ion battery, preferably, 2≤m≤4, and 2≤n≤6 in Li.sub.mS.sub.n, more preferably, Li.sub.mS.sub.n is selected from Li.sub.2S.sub.4, Li.sub.2S.sub.6 and Li.sub.2S.sub.8, and most preferably, is selected from Li.sub.2S.sub.4 and Li.sub.2S.sub.6.
[0121] The preferred additives can be compatible with common electrolyte solvents and electrolyte salts, and all can achieve the capacity compensation effect in various systems of the lithium-ion batteries.
[0122] According to some implementations of the present application, in the sodium-ion battery, preferably, 1≤p<3, and 4≤q≤10 in the component Na.sub.pP.sub.q capable of compensating sodium and electrons simultaneously, and more preferably, Na.sub.pP.sub.q is selected from NaP.sub.4, NaP.sub.5, NaP.sub.7 and Na.sub.3P.sub.7, and most preferably, is selected from NaP.sub.5 and NaP.sub.7. The preferred additives can be compatible with the common electrolyte solvents and electrolyte salts, and all can achieve the capacity compensation effect in various systems of the sodium-ion battery.
[0123] According to some implementations of the present application, in the potassium-ion battery, preferably, 1≤e≤3, and 4≤f≤10 in the component K.sub.eP.sub.f capable of compensating potassium and electrons simultaneously, more preferably, K.sub.eP.sub.f is selected from KP.sub.4, KP.sub.5, KP.sub.7 and K.sub.3P.sub.7, and most preferably, is selected from KP.sub.5 and K.sub.3P.sub.7. The preferred additives can be compatible with the common electrolyte solvents and electrolyte salts, and all can achieve the capacity compensation effect in various systems of the potassium-ion battery.
[0124] Electrolyte lithium compensation additives in the prior art have the defects of poor compatibility with the electrolyte solvents. Researches on lithium polyphosphide mostly remain in these common lithium polyphosphide compounds such as Li.sub.3P and Li.sub.5P, which are mostly used to compensate lithium in electrodes or to modify lithium metal surfaces. The applicant tried to add Li.sub.3P, Li.sub.5P and the like to the electrolyte solution, but a large number of experiments have verified that these conventional lithium polyphosphide solids are hardly dissolved in the appropriate electrolyte, and the solubility of the currently available electrolyte solvents is very poor, so such lithium polyphosphide solids are not suitable to be used as the electrolyte lithium compensation additives.
[0125] After a long period of creative work, the applicant has developed an electrolyte formula in which soluble lithium polyphosphide and lithium polysulfide are used as the electrolyte additives. In the electrolyte formula, LiP.sub.4, LiP.sub.5, LiP.sub.7, LiP.sub.8, LiP.sub.10, Li.sub.2S.sub.4, Li.sub.2S.sub.6 and Li.sub.2S.sub.8 with good compatibility with the electrolyte solution, and especially LiP.sub.5, LiP.sub.7, Li.sub.2S.sub.4 and Li.sub.2S.sub.6, are used as the additives to be dissolved in the common ester, ether, sulfone or nitrile organic solvents. Meanwhile, the applicant also has found that by adding one or more of lithium polyphosphide and lithium polysulfide capable of being dissolved in the electrolyte solvents to the electrolyte, the lithium polyphosphide and the lithium polysulfide can decompose on the surfaces of the electrodes prior to the electrolyte solvents, so as to achieve the excellent effect of compensating lithium and electrons, thereby compensating for capacity losses caused by SEI formed in the cycle process of the battery and dead lithium generated in the follow-up cycle process.
[0126] In the sodium-ion battery, the applicant has developed that by adding sodium polyphosphide, such as NaP.sub.4, NaP.sub.5, NaP.sub.7 and NaP.sub.10, capable of being dissolved in the electrolyte solvents to the electrolyte to be used as the additive, the additive can be compatible with the common electrolyte solvents and electrolyte salts and decomposes prior to the solvents in the electrolyte solution, so as to achieve the effect of compensating sodium and electrons, thereby compensating for capacity losses caused by SEI formed in the cycle process of the battery and dead sodium generated in the follow-up cycle process.
[0127] In the potassium-ion battery, the applicant has developed that by adding potassium polyphosphide, such as KP.sub.4, KP.sub.5, KP.sub.7 and K.sub.3P.sub.7, capable of being dissolved in the electrolyte solvents to the electrolyte to be used as the additive, the additive can be compatible with the common electrolyte solvents and electrolyte salts and decomposes prior to the solvents in the electrolyte solution, so as to achieve the effect of compensating potassium and electrons, thereby compensating for capacity losses caused by SEI formed in the cycle process of the battery and dead potassium generated in the follow-up cycle process. These achievements and technical solutions are discovered and reported by the applicant for the first time.
[0128] The additive has high solubility in the common electrolyte solvents, has a low LUMO energy and a high HOMO energy, and can decompose prior to the electrolyte solvents. The additive decomposes on an anode side prior to the electrolyte solvents due to the LUMO energy lower than that of the electrolyte solvents, so that stable SEI is preferentially formed on the surface of the anode. The additive decomposes on a cathode side prior to the electrolyte solvents due to the HOMO energy higher than that of the electrolyte solvents, so that stable CEI is preferentially formed on the surface of the cathode. Thus, the additive can improve the stability of an electrode-electrolyte interface in the battery and improve the cycle property of the battery.
[0129] According to some implementations of the present application, the component capable of supplying electrons includes diethyl sulfone (DES), dimethyl sulfone (DMS), tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite (TMSP), tri(pentafluorophenyl) phosphine (TPFPP), terthiophene (3THP), vinylene carbonate (VC) and phosphite P(X)(Y)(Z), where, X, Y and Z are equal to one or more combinations of OH, R, OR, Cl, SH, SR and R.sub.2N (R═C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1, phenyl and derivatives thereof and silyl and derivatives thereof). The component capable of supplying electrons contains low-valent phosphorus, sulfur and other elements or easily oxidized structures, and decomposes prior to the electrolyte solvents and the electrolyte salts in the cycle process of the battery, so as to supply electrons to capacity compensation.
[0130] According to some implementations of the present application, the component capable of supplying electrons further includes ether micromolecules with low oxidation potential: dimethoxyethane (DME), diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGDME), triethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME), 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (TTE), 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2′,2′,2′-trifluoroethyl ether (HFE), ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether (EFE), diethylene glycol diethyl ether (G2E), 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl methyl ether (HFPM), 1H,1H,5H-ocafluorentyl-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether (OFE), 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether (BTFE) and methyl nonafluorobutyl ether (MFE). The ether micromolecules have low oxidization potential, and can decompose prior to the electrolyte solvents and the electrolyte salts in the cycle process of the battery, so as to provide electrons to capacity compensation.
[0131] According to some implementations of the present application, the component capable of supplying electrons in the ester solvent is selected from the group consisting of tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite (TMSP), tri(pentafluorophenyl) phosphine (TPFPP) or phosphite P(X)(Y)(Z), where, X, Y and Z are equal to one or more combinations of OH, R, OR, Cl, SH, SR and R.sub.2N (R═C.sub.nH.sub.2n+1, phenyl and derivatives thereof and silyl and derivatives thereof), and dimethoxyethane (DME), diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGDME) and triethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME). The additive capable of supplying electrons is well compatible with the ester solvent, has approximate oxidation potential, and can preferentially decompose in a voltage window of the ester solvent, so as to supply electrons.
[0132] According to some implementations of the present application, in the ether electrolyte solvent, the component capable of supplying electrons is diethyl sulfone (DES), dimethyl sulfone (DMS), tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite (TMSP), tri(pentafluorophenyl) phosphine (TPFPP) or vinylene carbonate (VC). The additive capable of supplying electrons is well compatible with the ether solvent, has approximate oxidation potential, and can preferentially decompose in a voltage window of the ether solvent, so as to supply electrons.
[0133] According to some implementations of the present application, when the secondary battery is the lithium-ion battery, the component capable of compensating electrons is selected from one or more of Na.sub.pP.sub.q and K.sub.eP.sub.f, where, 0<p≤3, 0<q≤11, 0<e≤3, and 0<f≤11; and

[0217] It could be shown from data of the Li.sub.xP.sub.y compound added to the lithium-ion battery in Table 1 and Table 2 that the solubilities of LiP.sub.4, LiP.sub.5, LiP.sub.7, LiP.sub.8 and LiP.sub.10 in the common electrolyte solvents such as the ester solvent and the ether solvent were high, and they could be used as the electrolyte additive to release active lithium ions and electrons for capacity compensation through decomposition. Li.sub.xP.sub.y could make the battery achieve the stable cycle effect in each battery system.
[0218] It could be shown from the comparison of the capacity retention rate data of the lithium-ion battery system in Table 2 that the capacity retention rates of Embodiments 1, 6, 9 and 11 were high, which showed that when the mass percent of the additive was 8%-12%, the good capacity compensation effect could be achieved.
[0219] It could be shown from comparison between Comparative Example 5 and Embodiment 13 that after 5 wt % of NaP.sub.5 and 5 wt % of NaP.sub.7 were added to the sodium-ion battery system to be used as the capacity compensation additive, the two components could achieve the effect of compensating ions and electrons simultaneously, thereby improving the initial Coulomb efficiency and the cycle stability of the full battery.
[0220] It could be shown from comparison between Comparative Example 6 and Embodiment 16 that after 2 wt % of KFSI and 8 wt % of TPPi were added to the potassium-ion battery system, the components capable of compensating ions and electrons could act together to supply needed active ions and electrons to capacity losses caused in the cycle process, thereby improving the initial Coulomb efficiency and the cycle stability of the full battery.
[0221] It could be shown from Embodiment 12 that sodium polyphosphate was selected as the additive capable of compensating electrons in the lithium-ion battery LiCoO.sub.2/Co.sub.3O.sub.4 system, and meanwhile, could achieving the capacity compensation function in conjunction with LiTFSI as the additive capable of compensating ions.
[0222] It could be shown from Embodiment 11 that lithium polyphosphate and lithium polysulfide were selected as the additives capable of compensating ions and electrons simultaneously together in the lithium-ion battery LiFePO.sub.4/SnO.sub.2 system, and could synergistically act, thereby improving the initial Coulomb efficiency and the cycle stability of the full battery.
