Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of lithium metal batteries, and particularly relates to an electrolyte for a lithium metal battery, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The metal lithium has a theoretical specific capacity as high as 3860mAh/g and an ultra-negative electrode potential of-3.04V (relative to a standard hydrogen electrode), and is an ideal negative electrode for constructing a high-specific-energy battery. With the increasing demand for energy density of batteries in the fields of advanced portable electronic products, electric vehicles and the like, the development of high specific energy secondary batteries based on metallic lithium cathodes has become a research hotspot in the field of chemical power sources in recent years. The negative electrode material used in the current research is mainly lithium metal, the electrolyte is widely prepared by adopting a mixed system of cyclic carbonate and linear carbonate, considering the physicochemical properties such as solvent viscosity, conductivity and the like, and adding different functional additive components to meet the requirements of various application scenes on the electrolyte properties.
The carbonate is capable of forming a relatively stable reduction product, alkyl lithium carbonate, at the lithium metal negative electrode, and is essential in the electrolyte composition. However, the mechanical strength of the alkyl lithium carbonate is low (less than 1GPa), so that the SEI film has poor mechanical strength, and is difficult to adapt to the volume expansion of the lithium metal battery in the circulation process, and finally the cycle life of the metal battery is shortened. In lithium metal batteries, however, the current strategies for constructing stable SEI films can be classified into the following categories: (1) an artificial SEI film (such as LiF, Li) is constructed on the surface of lithium metal3N,Li3PO4Etc.); (2) adopting organic or inorganic solid electrolyte as a lithium surface modification layer; (3) adopting a high-concentration lithium salt electrolyte; (4) the solvent composition is optimized to stabilize the lithium metal negative electrode. In contrast, optimizing the solvent composition to stabilize the lithium metal negative electrode is one of the simple and effective methods to solve this problem. Research shows that fluoroethylene carbonate is used in the electrolyte, and vinylene carbonate is used as a solvent to generate a stable SEI film and inhibit the reaction between lithium metal and the electrolyte. However, the solvent components reported at present have limited functions, and have major defects in particular in the aspects of constructing stable SEI films and flame retardance. Therefore, it is still very important to find new organic solvents with excellent electrochemical properties.

Example 7 Battery Performance testing
Example 1 and comparative example 1 the resulting Li/Cu cell was assembled separately and tested using standard methods for Li/Cu cell testing (1mA cm)-2Discharging and keeping constant current for 1 h; 1mA cm-2Voltage is more than or equal to 1V) are subjected to cycle test, and the results are shown in figures 1-3.
It can be seen that the average coulombic efficiency of the cells assembled with the common electrolyte of comparative example 1 was 62.9% after 200 cycles, whereas the average coulombic efficiency was as high as 98.1% after 700 cycles using the novel electrolyte cell prepared in example 1, and the average coulombic efficiency was as high as 97.4% and 97.8% after 700 cycles using the novel electrolyte cell prepared in examples 2 and 3. The results show that the common electrolyte prepared from Ethylene Carbonate (EC) and Ethyl Methyl Carbonate (EMC) forms a solid electrolyte interface film (SEI) which is unstable and is not beneficial to the deposition and extraction of lithium. The novel electrolyte provided by the embodiments 1 to 3 of the invention can form a stable SEI film on the surface of the lithium metal cathode, effectively block the reaction of the bulk lithium and the electrolyte, and remarkably improve the interface stability of the lithium metal cathode/electrolyte, thereby improving the cycle stability of the lithium metal battery.
Example 8 Combustion test
The electrolyte of example 1 and the electrolyte of comparative example 1 were subjected to a combustion test, and the results are shown in fig. 4.
It can be seen that the left side is the normal electrolyte of comparative example 1 and the right side is the novel electrolyte of example 1. Ordinary electrolyte is very easily burnt, and novel electrolyte still can not burn through many times of ignition test. The main reason for the combustion of the common electrolyte is that the electrolyte generates a large amount of hydrogen radicals under the heating condition, and the hydrogen radicals react with each other to generate hydrogen gas, so that the electrolyte is combusted. The novel electrolyte can generate fluorine free radicals under the condition of heating, and the fluorine free radicals are combined with the hydrogen free radicals to prevent the generation of hydrogen, so that the flame retardant effect is achieved.
Similarly, the electrolyte of the embodiment 2-3 can not be combusted after a plurality of ignition tests by carrying out a combustion test, and has good flame retardant effect.
Example 9
The amount of lithium deposited on the copper foil in the electrolytes of example 1 and comparative example 1 was measured by scanning electron microscopy, and the results are shown in FIGS. 5 to 8.
Wherein, FIG. 5 shows that 2mAh cm is deposited on the copper foil in the general electrolyte of comparative example 1-2Low power of lithium amount, uneven surface, and many dendritic lithium formation.
FIG. 6 shows the deposition of 2mAh cm on a copper foil in a general electrolyte of comparative example 1-2High power plot of lithium amount, it can be seen that many dendritic lithium deposits, surface and attachment of many electrolyte decomposition products.
FIG. 7 shows the deposition of 2mAh cm on copper foil in the novel electrolyte prepared in example 1-2Low power plot of lithium amount, flat surface, and many block-like lithium generation.
FIG. 8 shows the deposition of 2mAh cm on copper foil in the novel electrolyte prepared in example 1-2High-power plot of the amount of lithium, many massive lithium deposits can be seen, the surface is relatively smooth, and no electrolyte decomposition products are produced.
The result shows that the novel electrolyte can obviously improve the cycle stability and the safety of the lithium metal battery.
