example

[0074] Octafluoronaphthalene was purchased from Aldrich Chemical and used as received. 2-Methoxyheptafluoronaphthalene was synthesized as described in the following preparation example. Mesophase carbon microspheres (MCMB) used to make anodes were purchased from E-One / Moli Energy Canada (Maple Ridge, B.C., Canada). LiFePO for making cathode 4 Available from Phostech Lithium (Quebec, Canada). Ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) were purchased from Ferro Corp., Fine Chemicals Division (Zachary, LA), while LiPF 6 (available from Stella, Japan) was purchased from E-One / Moli Energy. Lithium bisoxalatoborate (LiBOB) was purchased from Chemetall (Germany). All solvents were high-purity battery grade and dried over 3A molecular sieves before use.

[0075] Using 0.1M chemical shuttle, 0.5M LiPF 6 Cyclic voltammograms were recorded in a standard three-electrode cell with an electrolyte composed of EC, DEC, PC, and DMC at a volume ratio of...

preparation example 1

[0079] Preparation example 1: Synthesis of 2-methoxyheptafluoronaphthalene

[0080] Octafluoronaphthalene (12 g, 0.044 mol), sodium methoxide (2.4 g, 0.0448 mol), and anhydrous methanol were combined in a 100 mL round bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser and a dry nitrogen sparger. The mixture was refluxed for six hours. Samples were taken and analyzed by GC-FID. At six hours, there was 35% conversion to 2-methoxyheptafluoronaphthalene. An additional 2.0 g of sodium methoxide was added and the mixture was refluxed for an additional 6 hours. Additional methoxide and reaction time did not increase product conversion. The undissolved solid was then filtered at room temperature, and the crude product was recrystallized from aqueous methanol. The product was further purified by flash silica gel column chromatography using hexane as eluent. A total of 0.5 g of high-purity product was obtained. The structure was verified by GC / MS and the purity was 99.7% by GC-FID. ...

[0081] Preparation Example 2: Preparation of 1,4-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-2,5-di-tert-butylbenzene

[0082] 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (3.23g, 0.014mol), potassium carbonate (powder, 325 mesh, 4.4g, 0.032mol), tri-n-butylamine (0.2g, 0.0011mol) and 30g The acetone solvent was mixed in a 100 mL three-necked round bottom flask. The flask was equipped with an overhead stirrer, thermocouple, addition funnel, cold water condenser, heating mantle, and dry nitrogen bubbler. Trifluoroethyl 2,2,2-perfluorobutanesulfonate (12.5 g, 0.032 mol, Aldrich) was added dropwise over a period of 2 hours while heating the reaction mixture at 58°C. After stirring for 24 hours, 80 mL of water was added at 58 °C, then the stirring was stopped and the heat source was removed. The product which crystallized in the lower phase at room temperature was filtered from the liquid using vacuum filtration. The crude product was then recrystallized in methanol / water, and the purity of the prepared sam...

Abstract

Overcharge protection is provided for rechargeable electrochemical lithium-ion cells. The electrolyte in the provided cells contains a cyclable redox shuttle molecule that can operate in cells with high voltage cathode materials.

Description

[0001] Related Patent Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 027,963, filed February 12, 2008, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to providing overcharge protection for rechargeable electrochemical lithium ion batteries. Background technique [0004] When properly designed and constructed, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries can exhibit excellent charge-discharge cycle life, have little or no memory effect, and high specific and volumetric energies. However, lithium-ion batteries do have some disadvantages, including inability to withstand recharging to potentials above the manufacturer's recommended end-of-charge potential without degradation in cycle life; overheating, the danger of adverse thermal events; and the difficulty of manufacturing large batteries with sufficient resistance to electrical and mechanical abuse in consume...
