Flame retardant tris(2-chloroethyl phosphate) (TCP) is successfully encapsulated in core-shell poly(urea-formaldehyde) microcapsules by in situ polymerization. The microcapsules are electrochemically stable in lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery electrolytes and thermally stable to ca. 200 °C. Thermal triggering of these microcapsules at higher temperatures ruptures the shell wall, releasing the liquid core (flame retardant), and NMR spectroscopy confirms the presence of the flame retardant in the electrolyte solution. Li-ion pouch cell experiments demonstrate that microencapsulation of TCP and its incorporation into the battery electrolyte provide latent fire retardants that improve battery safety while maintaining inherent battery performance and cycling capability.
阻燃剂磷酸三(2-氯乙基)酯(TCP)通过原位聚合成功地封装在核壳聚脲甲醛微胶囊中。这些微胶囊在锂离子电池电解质中具有电化学稳定性,并且在约200°C的温度下具有热稳定性。在较高温度下对这些微胶囊进行热触发会使壳壁破裂,释放出液态核(阻燃剂),核磁共振光谱证实了电解质溶液中存在阻燃剂。锂离子软包电池实验表明,TCP的微胶囊化及其掺入电池电解质中可提供潜在的阻燃剂,在保持电池固有性能和循环能力的同时提高电池安全性。
