The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of lithium-ion battery and, in particular, relates to a polymer electrolyte and a lithium-ion battery including the polymer electrolyte.
Lithium-ion batteries are now widely used in the fields of power, digital, and energy storage, etc., but the lithium-ion batteries are prone to thermal runaway during use, leading to leakage or combustion of flammable and volatile electrolyte solutions, thereby resulting in safety problems.
In order to improve the safety problems of the lithium-ion batteries, there are mainly technical methods of PTC coating layer, thermal blocking separation film, thermal blocking tab, etc. in liquid state lithium-ion batteries, but the effect is limited and the safety problems of the lithium-ion batteries are not fundamentally improved. Solid state electrolytes and semi-solid state electrolytes are expected to fundamentally solve the safety problems of lithium-ion. At present, there are three main systems of solid state electrolytes, which are sulfide electrolytes, oxide electrolytes and polymer electrolytes. The sulfide electrolytes have problems of high requirements for environmental atmosphere, difficulty in batching, etc.; the oxide electrolytes have problems of poor processability, high interfacial impedance, etc.; and the polymer electrolytes have problems of low electrical conductivity at room temperature, low electrochemical window, etc. The semi-solid state electrolytes have a state between solid state and liquid state, which have the safety as the solid state electrolytes, and have a lithium-ion electrical conductivity similar with liquid state electrolytes. However, there are problems of poor uniformity, difficult processing, etc. of the semi-solid state electrolytes.
In order to improve the performances of the polymer electrolytes, Chinese invention patent application No. 201710386736.0 disclosed a gel electrolyte containing cyclic ethers. In this patent, a gel electrolyte with adjustable strength can be obtained. However, the structure of cyclic ethers is used in this system, which has poor high voltage resistance performance In a lithium cobalt oxide and ternary system, the electrolyte is caused to oxidative decomposition and cannot be used in high energy density battery systems. Chinese invention patent application No. 201811419047.6 disclosed the preparation of a cross-linked polymer electrolyte and the preparation of a semi-solid state polymer electrolyte. In this patent, a cross-linked agent with alkenyl cyclic carbonate as both end groups is used, and the cross-linked polymer electrolyte is prepared using a free radical initiation. However, in this patent, the cross-linked polymer electrolyte needs to be prepared first, and then batteries are assembled, so there are problems such as complicated processing process, etc. Secondly, the cross-linked agent used in this patent is in a structure of dialkenyl cyclic boronate, the cost of this reagent is relatively high, and it is difficult to meet industrial production.
