Abstract
The invention discloses electrolyte of a cathode-free lithium-sulfur battery and application thereof, aiming at solving the problems of shuttle effect and dendritic crystal growth of a lithium cathode caused by dissolution of polysulfide formed by reaction in the electrolyte during charge and discharge of the cathode-free lithium-sulfur battery. The electrolyte designed by the invention can reduce the solubility to polysulfide and eliminate shuttle effect by reasonably introducing the ether solvent with steric hindrance; and the decomposition of anions can be promoted, and a protective layer rich in LiF is generated, so that the growth of dendritic crystals of the lithium cathode is inhibited, and finally the cathode-free lithium-sulfur battery can keep good capacity exertion in the charging and discharging process. Therefore, the electrolyte for the lithium-sulfur battery without the negative electrode and the application thereof have great significance for the design and large-scale application of the high-energy-density secondary battery.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of secondary batteries, and particularly relates to an electrolyte of a lithium-sulfur battery without a negative electrode and application of the electrolyte.
Background
Energy crisis and environmental pollution have made people attach importance to the development of clean energy, and new batteries have become the target of people's development. The lithium battery has the advantages of playing a great role in establishing a safe and stable new energy power system and an energy storage system by virtue of excellent performances of large energy density, high working voltage, long cycle life, low self-heat release rate, large output power, wider charge-discharge multiplying power, green safety, environmental protection and the like, and enters the field of the public. However, currently, the mainstream positive electrode materials, such as lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobaltate and high nickel ternary positive electrode materials, have relatively limited specific capacity, and the lithium sulfur battery has relatively high specific capacity due to the active substance sulfur. The lithium-sulfur battery is a lithium battery with sulfur as a battery positive electrode and metal lithium as a battery negative electrode. The elemental sulfur has rich reserves in the earth, has the characteristics of low price, environmental friendliness, low price and the like, and can be prepared into a light multi-electron reaction anode material. The lithium-sulfur battery using sulfur as the anode material has higher material theoretical specific capacity and battery theoretical specific energy which respectively reach 1675mAh/g and 2600Wh/kg, and is far higher than the capacity (150 mAh/g) of a lithium cobaltate battery widely applied commercially. And the active substance sulfur is friendly to the environment, has abundant natural reserves, can be developed and used as a next-generation novel lithium secondary battery, thus receiving wide attention and being considered as the next-generation secondary lithium ion battery with great potential. There are still some problems that greatly hinder the commercialization progress, such as poor conductivity of sulfur and its discharge products; volume changes caused by sulfur reactions lead to electrode "chalking"; polysulfide formed by reaction is dissolved in electrolyte, penetrates through a diaphragm to corrode a lithium negative electrode to cause a shuttle effect, and the cycling stability is influenced; the kinetics of polysulfide conversion is slow, and the dendritic crystal growth of the lithium cathode seriously reduces the safety of the whole system and other problems, so that the capacity of the lithium-sulfur battery is continuously attenuated in the charging and discharging processes.
The anode of the lithium-sulfur battery without the cathode is Li 2 S or organic sulfide after lithiation, the negative electrode is copper foil or other current collectors, lithium is provided by depositing the positive electrode to the side of the negative electrode, metal lithium is not required to be directly used, and the lithium can be applied to the batteryThe processability is better, and the large-scale application can be carried out. And Li 2 The conductivity of S is better than that of S, and meanwhile, the problem of electrode pulverization caused by volume change can be solved to a certain extent in the lithium-sulfur battery without the negative electrode. However, for the lithium sulfur battery without a negative electrode, the problems of polysulfide dissolution and lithium negative electrode dendrite faced by the lithium sulfur battery are more difficult to solve. During the charging and discharging processes, polysulfide intermediates generated by the positive electrode are dissolved in electrolyte, pass through the diaphragm and diffuse to the negative electrode, and the irreversible loss of effective substances in the battery, the attenuation of the service life of the battery and low coulombic efficiency are caused by a shuttle effect caused by direct reaction with metal lithium of the negative electrode; in the charging and discharging process, the lithium metal is dissolved and then cannot be smoothly deposited on a negative current collector, but the lithium metal layer is uneven due to uneven deposition or a tip effect, so that a solid electrolyte layer on the surface of a lithium metal negative electrode is continuously cracked, the fresh lithium inside is contacted with the electrolyte, the electrolyte is consumed in an accelerating manner, and the coulomb efficiency and the cycling stability of the battery are reduced. And dendritic crystals similar to dendrites are generated, and the dendrites generated after multiple depositions easily pierce through the diaphragm to cause short circuit of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so that high temperature is caused and even the battery is ignited and burnt. Therefore, the invention provides the electrolyte which can well prevent the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfide and the dendritic crystal growth of a lithium metal negative electrode, so that the lithium sulfur battery without the negative electrode has stable electrochemical performance.
The electrolyte is used as an important component of the battery and is simultaneously contacted with the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so that the overall performance of the battery is directly influenced. For example: long cycle life, rate, internal resistance, capacity and safety of the battery, and the liquid electrolyte is generally made of lithium salt (LiTFSI, liPF) 6 、LiC1O 4 Etc.), organic solvents (DOL, DME, etc.), and additives. The ideal electrolyte should also have some basic properties, such as stable electrochemical performance, wide electrochemical window, good electronic insulation, high ion conductivity, and stable electrochemical activity of positive and negative electrodes. The shuttle effect of lithium polysulfide and the dendritic crystal growth of a lithium metal negative electrode can be well prevented by optimizing the components of the electrolyte, so that the lithium sulfur battery without the negative electrode has stable electrochemistryAnd the electrolyte has high chemical performance, so that the optimization of the electrolyte of the lithium-sulfur battery without the negative electrode has great research value.
Therefore, the electrolyte for the cathode-free lithium sulfur battery and the application thereof prevent the shuttle effect of polysulfide, protect the stability of the cathode, have great significance and have wide prospect for large-scale application of the cathode-free lithium sulfur battery.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the 'shuttle effect' and dendritic crystal growth of a lithium cathode caused by dissolution of polysulfide formed by reaction in electrolyte during charging and discharging of a lithium sulfur battery without a cathode in the prior art, so that the capacity of the lithium sulfur battery without the cathode is continuously attenuated during charging and discharging. According to the electrolyte disclosed by the invention, the molecular structure of the solvent is reasonably regulated and controlled, and the components of the lithium salt and the solution are designed, so that the solubility of polysulfide is reduced, the shuttle effect is inhibited, the growth of dendritic crystals of a lithium cathode is inhibited, and the purpose that a lithium sulfur battery without the cathode can keep good chemical properties in the charging and discharging processes is realized.
Compared with the traditional electrolyte, on one hand, the single lithium salt used in the electrolyte is preferably a fluorine-rich lithium salt which can generate lithium fluoride-rich SEI on a lithium negative electrode more easily, so that the SEI can form Li < + > -anion pairs more easily, and more anions can be decomposed during reduction. On the other hand, the molecular structure of the solvent selected by the electrolyte is one oxygen less than that of the traditional electrolyte, so that the coordination capacity of the solvent is reduced, and the molecular structure of the selected solvent only contains single oxygen, so that the selected solvent has steric hindrance and weaker solvation capacity. Thereby allowing anions in a lithium sulfur battery without a negative electrode to generate SEI while allowing the solubility of polysulfides to be significantly reduced. The design can effectively inhibit the shuttle effect of polysulfide, so that the lithium negative electrode has excellent stability. Therefore, the electrolyte for the non-negative-electrode lithium-sulfur battery and the application thereof have great significance in large-scale commercial application of the non-negative-electrode lithium-sulfur battery in the future.
The purpose of the invention can be realized by the following technical scheme:
an electrolyte for a lithium-sulfur battery having no negative electrode, the electrolyte comprising a single lithium salt and a mixture comprising two or more sterically hindered ethers.
According to the scheme, the single lithium salt is lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide (LiFSI) and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF) 6 ) Lithium difluorooxalato borate (LiDFOB), lithium bistrifluoromethylsulfonimide (LiTFSI), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF) 4 ) Lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO) 2 F 2 ) And one of lithium bis (oxalato) borate (LiBOB), preferably lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide (LiFSI), wherein the concentration of a single lithium salt in the electrolyte is 0.5mol/L to 3mol/L.
According to the scheme, the ether mixture is at least two of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), dioxolane (DOL), 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran (Me-THF), ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME), diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G2) and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4) solvents, preferably methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran (Me-THF), wherein the volume ratio of the two ethers is (0.1-2): 1, and the volume ratio is preferably 1:1.
another aspect of the invention provides the use of the electrolyte in a cathode-free lithium sulfur battery.
According to the scheme, the diaphragm of the applied non-negative electrode lithium-sulfur battery is a ceramic diaphragm, a polypropylene diaphragm, a polyethylene diaphragm, a composite diaphragm of polypropylene and polyethylene, and Al 2 O 3 A coated membrane, a glass fiber membrane, a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, a cellulose membrane or an aramid membrane. Preferably a ceramic diaphragm, the diameter of the ceramic diaphragm is 18-20 mm.
According to the scheme, the cathode material of the applied cathode-free lithium-sulfur battery is a copper foil, a titanium foil, graphite, silicon and a nickel net, and the anode material is one of lithium sulfide, lithiated polyacrylonitrile sulfide, a compound of lithium sulfide and sulfur/carbon and lithiated organic sulfide. Lithium sulfide is preferred.
Furthermore, the ratio of the ether mixture to the single lithium salt is (1-10) to 1.
The single lithium salt used in the electrolyte is preferably a fluorine-rich lithium salt which is more easily generated to be rich in lithium at the lithium negative electrodeLithium fluoride containing SEI, making it more susceptible to Li formation + Anion pairs, more anions are decomposed during reduction. Meanwhile, compared with the traditional electrolyte, the molecular structure of the solvent selected by the electrolyte is one oxygen less, so that the coordination capacity of the solvent is reduced, and the molecular structure of the selected solvent only contains single oxygen, so that the selected solvent has steric hindrance, and the solvent has weaker solvation capacity. Thereby allowing the anions in the non-negative lithium sulfur battery to generate SEI while allowing the solubility of polysulfides to be significantly reduced. The design can effectively inhibit the shuttle effect of polysulfide, so that the lithium negative electrode has excellent stability. Therefore, the electrolyte for the cathode-free lithium-sulfur battery and the application thereof have great significance in large-scale commercial application of the cathode-free lithium-sulfur battery in the future.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
at present, the research on the electrolyte system of the liquid lithium-sulfur battery mainly aims at reducing the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfide and selects a proper solvent or a proper functional additive. In a lithium-sulfur battery without a negative electrode, the reaction between lithium polysulfide and metal lithium is reduced or the solubility of the lithium polysulfide in an electrolyte is reduced, active metal lithium is easy to reduce with the electrolyte, a passivated SEI film is generated on the surface of an electrode, the electrolyte is consumed, and the interface stability of the negative electrode and the electrolyte is damaged.
1M LiFSI DOL/DME +1wt% LiN0 compared to the conventional electrolyte 3 The electrolyte for the lithium-sulfur battery without the negative electrode is characterized in that the mixed ether electrolyte is preferably methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and tetrahydrofuran (Me-THF), ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME) and has a simple structure formula
Dioxolane (DOL) having the structural formula
Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) with the structure simple formula
2-firstTetrahydrofuran (Me-THF), the structural formula is
Compared with the traditional electrolyte and the electrolyte composition mentioned in the invention, MTBE has one more oxygen in DME, has stronger binding capacity to Li ions and has chelation effect compared with DME. In contrast MTBE contains only one oxygen, is less solvating and also has the steric hindrance of trimethyl. MTBE is therefore less solvating than DME and is less prone to binding Li ions. Compared with DOL, me-THF has only one oxygen in the molecular formula, so that the coordination capability is greatly reduced. And the multiple methyl groups beside oxygen make it sterically hindered and thus not readily available to Li + Are combined together. The design can effectively inhibit the shuttle effect of polysulfide, so that the lithium negative electrode has excellent stability. Therefore, the invention provides an electrolyte for a lithium-sulfur battery without a negative electrode and application thereof.
