Description

  • This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/434,214, filed on Dec. 17, 2002 and incorporated herein by reference.[0001]
  • [0002] This invention was made with government support under Contract No. W-31-109-ENG-38 awarded to the Department of Energy. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Gas generation in both Li-ion and lithium-metal based primary and secondary electrochemical cells may become a serious problem both during normal cell operation at room temperature and, more especially, at elevated temperatures. The consequence of gas build up includes cell can expansion and subsequent can rupture, leading to cell and or battery failure. For example, the gassing problem has been observed to be extremely serious in large electric vehicle type cell systems and in pouch type cell systems where rupture of the cell containment leads to serious safety problems. The gassing problem is also very serious in lithium-metal based primary cells using liquid and/or solid electrolytes in vivo applications such as for heart pacemakers and similar devices. [0003]
  • Because both the negative and positive electrodes in the charged states of nearly all lithium based electrochemical cell systems are thermodynamically unstable in respect to the electrolyte, it is especially important that electrolyte additives be developed to stabilize the electrodes by decreasing the kinetics of the respective electrode reactions and thereby reducing the gas generation. [0004]
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention is directed toward the development of both primary and secondary Li-ion and lithium-metal based electrochemical cell systems in which the suppression of gas generation is achieved through the addition of an additive or additives to the electrolyte system of the respective cell, or to the cell whether it be a liquid, a solid- or plastized polymer electrolyte system. The gas suppression additives in this patent application are primarily based on unsaturated hydrocarbons and nitrogen containing organic materials.[0005]

  • FIG. 2 shows the improved cycle life characteristics of a Li-ion cell (ANL-2) containing 2.0 wt % VEC and 1.0 wt % 2,3 dimethyl-1,3 butadiene with the 1 M LiPF[0012] 6 dissolved in blend of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, and dimethyl carbonate. The cell utilized the same cathode and anode as cell (ANL-1).
  • FIG. 3 shows the gas pressures developed by studies of the respective negative electrodes with electrolyte from cell (ANL-1) and compares the pressures developed by the negative electrodes and electrolyte from a similar cell that did not contain the 2,3 dimethyl-1,3 butadiene. The results of these studies indicate the additives significantly reduce the degree of gassing in the negative electrodes of cell (ANL-1), as compared to the negative electrode/electrolyte gassing from a similar cell but without the additive package.
