Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium metal batteries, in particular to a non-combustible electrolyte and a lithium metal battery based on the non-combustible electrolyte.
Background
Rechargeable lithium metal batteries equipped with high-voltage positive electrodes have higher energy densities than lithium ion batteries, and thus have received much attention from researchers in academia and industry. The lithium metal as a negative electrode has ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity (3860mAh g)-1) And an ultra-low electrochemical redox potential (-3.04V vs. standard hydrogen electrode). However, the safety and stability issues of lithium metal batteries remain a significant challenge for their commercial applications. Most of the currently available electrolytes are highly flammable, and overcharging, short-circuiting or high thermal shock of the battery may create a more serious explosion hazard. In addition, the nickel-rich layered cathode material has a large amount of high-activity Ni in a lithium-removed state4+Ions, which may undergo severe side reactions with the electrolyte at high pressure, will further exacerbate the thermal runaway reaction of the battery.
The addition of a phosphate ester solvent (e.g., trimethyl phosphate) having flame retardancy to the electrolyte is expected to solve the safety problem of the lithium metal battery. However, all of these phosphate solvents have high intrinsic reactivity with lithium metal, which results in poor stability of the lithium metal battery. The stability of the lithium metal battery can be improved to some extent by limiting the number of free solvent molecules using a high concentration of phosphate ester electrolyte. However, due to the inherent high reactivity between phosphate molecules and lithium metal, developing lithium metal batteries based on phosphate electrolytes remains a formidable challenge.
Compared with other solvents, the ether molecules have better compatibility with lithium metal. However, the common ether molecules are highly flammable, and suppressing the free ether molecules by preparing a high concentration of electrolyte only reduces the flammability to a limited extent. In order to reduce the inherent flammability of ether molecules, it is an effective method to replace the active hydrogen atoms in ether molecules with fluorine atoms. Such as bis (2,2, 2-trifluoroethyl) ether (F/H molar ratio 1.5, flash point 1 ℃) and 1,1,2, 2-tetrafluoroethyl-2, 2,3, 3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (F/H molar ratio 2, flash point 27.5 ℃) have been successfully added to high concentration electrolytes. These fluoroethers hardly participate in Li due to the electron-withdrawing effect of fluorine atoms+Solvating and thus not destroying its high salt/solvent ratio solvated structure, thereby successfully preserving high concentration electrolyte electrochemical performance. However, the F/H molar ratio and the flash point of the fluorinated ethers reported at present are lower, and the flammability is still higher. In order to solve this problem, the F/H molar ratio of the fluoroether can be increased, but the addition of fluoroether having a high F/H molar ratio (F/H molar ratio. gtoreq.3) to the electrolyte again causes phase separation of the electrolyte. Therefore, how to add the fluoroether with high F/H molar ratio into the electrolyte without causing phase separation of the electrolyte is a critical problem to be solved at present.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention provides a non-combustible electrolyte and a lithium metal battery based on the same, so as to improve the safety of the electrolyte and enable the lithium metal battery based on the same to have excellent performance.
In order to solve the technical problem, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the invention firstly provides a non-combustible electrolyte, which comprises a solvent, an electrolyte salt and a fluoroether flame retardant, wherein: the solvent comprises at least one of an ether solvent, an ester solvent and a sulfone solvent; the electrolyte salt includes at least two of lithium salts containing different anions; the fluoroether flame retardant comprises fluoroether with the F/H molar ratio being more than or equal to 3.
Further: the ether solvent mainly comprises at least one of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and 1, 3-dioxane; the ester solvent mainly comprises at least one of methyl ethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, vinylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate and gamma-butyrolactone; the sulfone solvent mainly comprises at least one of sulfolane, dimethyl sulfone and dimethyl sulfoxide.
Further, the electrolyte salt includes at least two of lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide, lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide, lithium bis (pentafluoroethylsulfonyl) imide, lithium bis (heptafluoropropylsulfonyl) imide, and lithium bis (nonafluorobutylsulfonyl) imide.

Furthermore, in the electrolyte, the molar ratio of the solvent to the fluoroether flame retardant is 1: 0.1-10, and the molar ratio of the electrolyte salt to the solvent is 1: 0.5-10.
Furthermore, while the electrochemical performance of the electrolyte is considered, the hydrogen bond effect between the fluoroether flame retardant/anion/solvent in the electrolyte is balanced by regulating and controlling the proportion of the electrolyte salt, so as to solve the phase separation problem of the electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte salt has various proportion schemes, wherein the molar percentage of the carbon-fluorine chain-containing salt is not less than 50%, for example: the electrolyte salt can be prepared by compounding lithium bis (pentafluoroethylsulfonyl) imide and lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide according to the molar ratio of 1: 0.1-1; the electrolyte salt can be prepared by compounding lithium bis (pentafluoroethylsulfonyl) imide and lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide according to the molar ratio of 1: 0.1-1; the electrolyte salt can be prepared by compounding lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide and lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide according to the molar ratio of 1: 0.1-1; the electrolyte salt can be prepared by compounding lithium bis (heptafluoropropylsulfonyl) imide and lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide according to the molar ratio of 1: 0.1-1; the electrolyte salt can be prepared by compounding lithium bis (nonafluorobutylsulfonyl) imide and lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide according to the molar ratio of 1: 0.1-1.

2. The electrolyte salt in the non-combustible electrolyte provided by the invention balances the hydrogen bond effect between the fluoroether flame retardant/anion/solvent in the electrolyte by adjusting the composition of the added electrolyte salt and controlling the addition proportion of different anion electrolyte salts while considering the electrochemical performance of the electrolyte, and solves the problem of phase separation of the electrolyte caused by adding the fluoroether with high F/H molar ratio.
3. The lithium metal battery adopting the non-combustible electrolyte provided by the invention can realize the dendrite-free deposition growth and high coulombic efficiency of the lithium metal cathode and the stability on the surface of the high-voltage anode.
4. The lithium metal battery adopting the non-combustible electrolyte provided by the invention has the advantages that the initial/peak temperature and the heat release quantity of the lithium removal anode and the electrolyte in thermal runaway are obviously improved compared with the traditional ester electrolyte by adopting the electrolyte, and the performance of the lithium metal battery is obviously improved.

The fluoroether fire retardant in the nonflammable electrolyte has high F/H molar ratio and high flash point due to the molecular structure characteristics, so that the safety performance of the electrolyte is greatly improved.

The electrolyte salt in the nonflammable electrolyte solves the problem of electrolyte phase separation caused by adding the fluoroether with high F/H molar ratio by adjusting the composition of the added electrolyte salt and controlling the addition proportion of different anion electrolyte salts.
