Research on practical high-specific energy quasi-solid-state lithium-ion battery system
Aiming at the potential safety problems such as electrolyte leakage,combustion and explosion in lithium-ion batteries,our work prepared an ether based prepolymer precursor,which were prepared by mixing a single ether molecule monomer with LiPF6-based electrolyte,and then derived a non-flow viscoelastic aggregate in situ at 60 ℃.By adjusting the monomer ratio and optimizing the in situ curing process,we prepared a high nickel/high silicon quasi-solid-state lithium ion battery.Our results show that the cycle life of 2.1 Ah battery system can reach 600 cycles at 0.3 C,and the retention rate is 1.8%higher than that of liquid battery in the same system.The 36 Ah battery based on the anode with higher silicon content has the highest specific energy of 351 Wh/kg and the capacity retention rate of 88.36%after 500 cycles.The quasi-solid-state lithium-ion battery shows excellent low temperature performance with the capacity retention rate of 85.6%at-20 ℃.The results show that the solidified electrolytes play a good role in the structural stability of the battery layer and interlayer.The development of the high specific energy quasi-solid-state lithium-ion battery system provides a feasible way for the further practical application of the subsequent energy storage solid-state battery.
