All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to fall within the scope of the application. Furthermore, it should be understood that the detailed description is presented herein for purposes of illustration and description only, and is not intended to limit the application. In the present application, unless otherwise indicated, terms of orientation such as "upper" and "lower" are used to generally refer to the upper and lower directions of the device in actual use or operation, and specifically the directions of the drawings in the drawings, while "inner" and "outer" are used with respect to the outline of the device.
In the related art, the solid electrolyte is easily decomposed under the high voltage condition, and the overall performance of the battery is reduced, which needs to be further improved.
The application provides a polyfunctional monomer which is applied to solid electrolyte, and the polyfunctional monomer has a structure shown as a formula (1):
Formula (1);
Wherein each R 1、R2、R3、R4、R5、R6 is independently selected from an acrylate group or a hydroxyl group, and at most only one of R 1、R2、R3、R4、R5、R6 is a hydroxyl group, R 7 is selected from an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group.
In this embodiment, the polyfunctional monomer has a structure as shown in formula (1), and when the polyfunctional monomer is used as a reactant raw material to form a solid electrolyte by in-situ curing in an electrolyte, in the first aspect, the acrylate groups are reactive functional groups, the number of the acrylate groups is at least 5, the polyfunctional monomer has higher functionality, the polyfunctional monomer can form a highly crosslinked polymer network structure in the polymerization reaction process, the highly crosslinked polymer network structure is like a tightly woven large network, and the molecular chains are intertwined and fixed through a large number of chemical bonds, so that the movement of the molecular chains is greatly limited. The structure endows the polymer with excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and high modulus, so that the polymer can keep better structural stability when bearing external stress, the high voltage resistance of the polymer structure is improved, the solid electrolyte is not easy to decompose or crack to fail, the structural damage of the electrolyte material in the charge and discharge process is inhibited, and the electrochemical stability of the electrolyte material is maintained, thereby prolonging the service life and the safety of the battery and keeping the charge and discharge performance of the battery.
In a second aspect, the urethane groups of the backbone chain of the polyfunctional monomer impart a stronger polarity to the monomer molecules, such that the polyfunctional monomer can interact with electrolyte solvent molecules to increase conductivity, and the urethane groups have a stronger chemical bond energy, and can enhance the structural stability of the solid electrolyte by forming hydrogen bonds or the like, such enhanced structural stability helping the solid electrolyte to maintain its morphology and integrity at high pressure, preventing performance degradation due to structural failure.
In a third aspect, the polyfunctional monomer is polymerized to form a crosslinked polymer, the crosslinked polymer and the electrolyte are combined to form a solid electrolyte, the solid electrolyte contains a carbamate group, and a nitrogen atom and a carbonyl oxygen atom in the carbamate group can form a stronger interaction with the conductive ion, and the interaction helps to stabilize the existence form of the conductive ion, reduce migration and aggregation of the conductive ion under high voltage, and further improve the high voltage resistance of the solid electrolyte.
In the fourth aspect, after the polyfunctional monomer is polymerized, two ends of the carbamate group on the backbone chain are bonded with ester group side groups with larger volumes, and nitrogen atoms and carbonyl oxygen atoms in the carbamate group have lone pair electrons, so that the whole carbamate group has negative charges, thereby endowing the carbamate group with stronger polarity, enabling the carbamate group to enhance the electron cloud density of the ester group side groups connected with the carbamate group, pulling down the HOMO energy level (highest occupied molecular orbital energy level) of the crosslinked polymer, enabling the crosslinked polymer to be harder to lose electrons, requiring larger energy and higher voltage from the outside to be oxidized, and therefore, the ester group side groups with larger volumes at the two ends of the carbamate group have the function of protecting umbrella, bring protection effect to the polymer molecular chain, better resist the oxidization property under the external high voltage, reduce the oxidative decomposition or side reaction of the polymer, reduce the oxidative degradation risk of the solid electrolyte under the high voltage environment, and further improve the high voltage resistance performance of the solid electrolyte.
In a fifth aspect, after polymerization of the polyfunctional monomer, the two ends of the carbamate group on the backbone chain are bonded with a bulky side group of the ester group, and specific intermolecular interactions exist between the carbamate group and the bulky side group of the ester group, so that the polymer cannot generate free ionic fragment groups under high voltage (> 4.5V), and the solid electrolyte can match with a high-voltage positive electrode and shows strong high-voltage resistance advantage. Taking lithium cobaltate as an example, in the charging process, positive tetravalent cobalt ions with high valence are formed after lithium cobaltate is removed, the high valence cobalt ions have high chemical activity and are easy to react with surrounding substances such as solvent molecules, so that the surface structure of the positive electrode active particles is unstable, and the surrounding substances of the high valence cobalt ions are easy to be oxidized and decomposed into ion fragments. The carbamate and ester side groups in the polymer molecular chain can generate better synergistic complexing effect with positive tetravalent cobalt ions, and the cobalt ions are fixed on the surface of positive electrode active particles through coordination chemical effect, so that the metal ions on the surface of the positive electrode active particles are effectively stabilized, the dissolution and migration of the metal ions are reduced, and the stability of the polymer molecular chain in a high-voltage field is improved. In addition, the intermolecular interaction between the carbamate group and the larger-volume ester group side group also obviously improves the complexation capability of a polymer molecular chain to lithium ions and solvents, and the distribution of the lithium ions is easily influenced by an electric field and chemical reaction under high voltage, so that the local aggregation phenomenon is caused. The polymer molecular chain forms a stable complex with lithium ions and a solvent, so that the lithium ions can be uniformly dispersed, the local aggregation of the lithium ions is reduced, and the lithium ions can be uniformly and efficiently transmitted in the polymer electrolyte, thereby improving the high voltage resistance of the polymer electrolyte and prolonging the service life of the battery.

、、、、、、、。
By adopting the polyfunctional monomer with the structure, R 1、R2、R3、R4、R5、R6 is independently selected from acrylate groups or hydroxyl groups, the number of the functionality is between 5 and 6, the crosslinking can be performed efficiently, the structural stability of the polymer is improved, the high-voltage stability of the solid electrolyte is further improved, and the high functionality can enable the polyfunctional monomer to undergo polymerization reaction to form a polymer network under a lower content, so that the solid electrolyte has better conductivity. The R 7 group adopts an alkyl and cycloalkyl structure, the numerical values of the related n1 to n6 are controlled, the volume and the molecular weight of the polyfunctional monomer are ensured not to be too large, and when the polyfunctional monomer is added into the prepolymer, the viscosity of the prepolymer is not too large, so that the infiltration of the prepolymer to the electrode is facilitated. In addition, the polyfunctional monomer has a basically symmetrical molecular structure, which is beneficial to more effectively approaching each other and generating reaction between polyfunctional monomer molecules, thereby promoting the formation of a cross-linked structure and improving the structural stability of the material. Therefore, the polyfunctional monomer has better effects on the performances of the viscosity of the prepolymer, the conductivity of the solid electrolyte, the high voltage resistance of the solid electrolyte and the like, and has better performance on the high voltage cycle performance of the battery.
In one embodiment, the polyfunctional monomer has a number of functionalities between 5 and 6. Alternatively, the polyfunctional monomer has a functionality number of 5 or 6. Functionality refers to the number of functional groups in a monomer molecule that are capable of participating in a reaction, directly related to the reactivity of the reactants and the structural characteristics of the product. Generally, the greater the number of functionalities, the more active sites the monomer molecules are in the reaction, the faster the reaction rate, and the greater the probability of the monomer molecules participating in the polymerization reaction, the greater the degree of crosslinking of the resulting polymer. When the number of functionalities of the polyfunctional monomer is less than 5, the structural stability of the polymer is easily lowered and the solid electrolyte is easily decomposed. When the number of the functionalities of the polyfunctional monomer is more than 6, the crosslinking points are easily too dense, the molecular pores constructed by the polymer molecular chains are smaller, the electrolyte absorption and the shuttling and conduction of conductive ions among the molecular pores are not facilitated, the flexible movement of the molecular chains is seriously hindered, the flexibility of the polymer is greatly reduced, and the polymer becomes stiff and fragile. At the same time, the tightly crosslinked network structure also limits the transport of ions within the polymer, so that the ion transport properties of the solid electrolyte are deteriorated.
In the embodiment, the number of the functionalities of the polyfunctional monomer is set between 5 and 6, so that the generated polymer has proper crosslinking degree, and simultaneously, the carbamate groups on the polyfunctional monomer dry chain can endow monomer molecules with stronger flexibility, nitrogen atoms and carbonyl oxygen atoms in the carbamate groups have larger polarity, the carbamate groups can bring partial charges and steric hindrance weakening effects, and the carbamate groups can generate specific intermolecular interactions with the bulky ester group side groups at two ends, and the interactions reduce the energy barrier of the rotation peristaltic motion of the main chain of the polymer molecular chain, so that the rotation and the peristaltic motion of the polymer molecular chain can be generated to a certain extent when the polymer molecular chain is subjected to smaller external force, thereby improving the movement capability of the polymer molecular chain, and injecting a lubricant for the originally stiff polymer network structure, so that the problems of reduced flexibility and reduced absorption capability of the polymer molecular chain pore space caused by the high crosslinking degree of the side groups are effectively counteracted. Meanwhile, the carbamate group improves the movement capacity of the polymer molecular chain, indirectly improves the ion transmission performance, enhances the movement capacity of the polymer molecular chain, opens up a more smooth channel for the ion transmission in the polymer, enables the ions to migrate between the polymer molecular chains more freely, and improves the ion transmission efficiency of the solid electrolyte.
In one embodiment, the polyfunctional monomer has a symmetrical molecular structure. In this example, high functionality and structurally symmetrical polyfunctional monomers exhibit a significant propensity to form highly crosslinked polymer network structures during polymerization. High functionality monomer means that each monomer molecule possesses multiple active sites that are capable of rapidly and largely chemically reacting with adjacent monomer molecules to form multiple chemical bond linkages as polymerization occurs. The symmetrical structure allows the polyfunctional monomer molecules to have a spatially regular arrangement, which helps to more efficiently get closer to each other and react with each other during the polymerization process, thereby promoting the formation of a crosslinked structure.
The high functionality characteristic, the structural symmetry characteristic and the urethane groups in molecules of the polyfunctional monomer respectively play a unique role in the polymer, and are mutually cooperated, so that the advantages of the polyfunctional monomer can be fully exerted, the solid electrolyte material with excellent structural stability, high voltage resistance, good flexibility and high-efficiency ion transmission performance can be prepared, and the requirement of a battery on the high-performance material can be met.
