Abstract

Electrolytes and electrolyte additives for energy storage devices comprising a carboxylic ether, a carboxylic acid based salt, or an acrylate electrolyte are disclosed. The energy storage device comprises a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a Si-based electrode, a separator between the first electrode and the second electrode, an electrolyte, and at least one electrolyte additive selected from carboxylic ethers, carboxylic acid based salts, and acrylates.

Claims (18)

1. An energy storage device comprising:

a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a Si-based electrode;

a separator between the first electrode and the second electrode;

an electrolyte; and

at least one electrolyte additive comprising a compound of Formula (E)

wherein:

R 4 and R 5 are each independently C2-C5 alkenyl optionally substituted by alkyl;

Z is selected from the group consisting of C1-C12 alkylene substituted by alkyl, —F, —OH, or hydroxyl-alkyl, cycloalkylene,

R is independently C1-C3 alkylene optionally substituted by alkyl, —F, —OH, or hydroxyl-alkyl; and

n is an integer selected from 1-5.

2. The energy storage device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode is a Si dominant electrode where silicon is the majority of the material used in the electrode.

3. The energy storage device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode comprises a self-supporting composite material film.

4. The energy storage device of claim 3 , wherein the composite material film comprises:

greater than 0% and less than about 90% by weight of silicon particles, and

greater than 0% and less than about 90% by weight of one or more types of carbon phases, wherein at least one of the one or more types of carbon phases is a substantially continuous phase that holds the composite material film together such that the silicon particles are distributed throughout the composite material film.

5. The energy storage device of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte further comprises fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC).

6. The energy storage device of claim 5 , wherein the electrolyte is substantially free of non-fluorine containing cyclic carbonate.

7. The energy storage device of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte additive is selected from the group consisting of 2,2-Dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl diacrylate; 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diyl bis(2-methylacrylate); 1,3-Glyceryl dimethacrylate; 2-Ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diyl diacrylate; 1,3-Diacrylate adamantine (CAS No. 81665-82-9); 3-Methylpentane-1,5-diyl diacrylate; Bis(2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl) oxalate; Bis(2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl) malonate; Bis(2-(acryloyloxy) ethyl) succinate; Bis(2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl) adipate; Bis[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] succinate; 1,1,1-trimethylol ethane trimethacrylate; 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-Octafluoro-1,6-hexyl diacrylate; 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-Octafluoro-1,6-hexyldimethacrylate; 2,2,3,3,4,4-Hexafluoropentane-1,5-diyl diacrylate; 2,2,3,3,4,4-hexafluoropentane-1,5-diyl bis(2-methylacrylate); 2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-1,4-butanediol diacrylate; 2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-1,4-butanediol dimethacrylate; thiobis(ethane-2,1-diyl) diacrylate; and partially or fully fluorinated thiobis(ethane-2,1-diyl) diacrylate.
