摘要:

铬氧化物(Cr8O21)凭借其高的电压平台与理论比容量,成为当下锂电池正极材料的研究热点。然而,设计与之相匹配的新型电解液,以满足其在不同场景中的应用也至关重要。本工作一方面通过理论计算与实验相结合,设计了一种新型双盐电解液(FB55-10%)。其中四氟硼酸锂(LiBF4)用以提升电池在低温下的放电性能,双氟磺酰亚胺锂(LiFSI)具有良好的稳定性,也能弥补常温下LiBF4离子电导率较低的不足。同时,选用低熔点与低黏度的丁酸甲酯(MB)与碳酸丙烯酯(PC)组成共溶剂,以拓宽电解液的熔沸点区间,从而满足Li/Cr8O21电池在宽温条件下(-45~65 ℃)的应用。另一方面,通过构筑固态电解质Li1.3Al0.3Ti0.7(PO4)3(LATP)与正极的复合材料,使其在低温(-45 ℃)下性能再次提升。最终测得Li/Cr8O21电池在电流为0.02C时,常温(25 ℃)、高温(65 ℃)和低温(-45 ℃)条件下的放电比容量分别为404 mAh/g、410 mAh/g与223 mAh/g。此外,设计了适配此电解液体系的3 Ah软包电池并进行测试,结果依然能表现出较好的性能,证明该电解液体系具有良好的宽温适用性。

Abstract:

Chromium oxides (Cr8O21) have been extensively studied as cathode materials for lithium primary batteries due to their high specific capacity and stable voltage plateau. However, designing state-of-the-art electrolytes for Li/Cr8O21 is crucial to ensure applicability under various conditions. In this study, a novel dual-salt electrolyte (FB55-10%) was developed through theoretical calculations and experimental validation. LiBF4 enhances the low-temperature performance of Li/Cr8O21, while LiFSI, with its superior stability, compensates for the low ionic conductivity of LiBF4 at normal temperatures. In addition, methyl butyrate (MB), characterized by low viscosity and a low melting point, was selected as a co-solvent with propylene carbonate (PC) to extend the operating temperature range from the melting point to the boiling point, thereby enabling Li/Cr8O21 applications across a wide temperature range (-45—65 ℃). Furthermore, the low-temperature (-45 ℃) performance of Li/Cr8O21 was further improved by incorporating a solid-state electrolyte, Li1.3Al0.3Ti0.7(PO4)3 (LATP), into Cr8O21 composite materials. As a result, the Li/Cr8O21 coin cell achieved specific capacities of 404 mAh/g, 410 mAh/g, and 223 mAh/g at 25 ℃, 65 ℃, and -45 ℃, respectively, at a current density of 0.02C. In addition, a 3 Ah pouch cell incorporating this novel electrolyte demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance, confirming the superior wide-temperature adaptability of this electrolyte system.
