Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present application relates to the field of lithium-ion batteries and, in more particular, to an additive composition for a lithium-ion battery electrolyte, an electrolyte comprising the additive composition, and a use of the electrolyte.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Compared with conventional secondary batteries, lithium-ion batteries have greater energy density, higher voltage, and longer cycle life. In addition, lithium-ion batteries are environmentally friendly. In view of the foregoing, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in many fields, such as laptops, mobile phones, digital products, and electric vehicles.

An important component of the lithium-ion battery is an electrolyte, which functions to transfer lithium ions between the cathode and anode of the battery. The electrolyte usually comprises a lithium salt electrolyte, an organic solvent and an additive composition. The introduction of the additive composition can improve the rate performance and cycle life of the battery, reduce the resistance of the battery, etc. Vinylene carbonate and vinyl ethylene carbonate are common film-forming additive compositions. Vinylene carbonate and vinyl carbonate will undergo electrochemical polymerization on the surface of the anode to form a dense solid electrolyte film to prevent an electrode material from contacting the electrolyte, thereby preventing the electrolyte from further reduction and decomposing on the surface of the anode, and inhibiting side reactions between the electrolyte and the electrode material. Moreover, the solid electrolyte film may also prevent the solvent and lithium ions from being co-embedded in the electrode material.

Power batteries are power supplies for tools. Sufficient film-forming additive compositions are required to ensure that the batteries have sufficient cycle stability. However, the increase in the amount of film-forming additive compositions will increase the cost, and the resistance of the batteries will also increase accordingly, and the rate performance and low-temperature performance of the batteries will be affected by the increase in the resistance of the batteries. In addition, when the amount of additive compositions such as vinylene carbonate, increases in lithium-ion batteries using lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxides as cathode materials, the batteries may swell obviously when working at high temperatures, posing a safety hazard.

In view of the foregoing, how to develop an additive composition that causes lithium-ion batteries to have low impedance, long cycle life, and excellent high-and low-temperature performance is an important topic in the field of lithium-ion batteries.
