Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy materials and energy storage technology, and in particular to a gradient composite positive electrode structure, an all-solid-state lithium-ion battery, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The single-layer composite cathode (CC) of a traditional all-solid-state battery usually includes a positive electrode active material, a solid electrolyte and a conductive additive. The solid electrolyte is used to assist in the transmission of lithium ions, and the conductive additive is used to transmit electrons. Due to the use of conductive additives, the electronic conductivity of the traditional positive electrode is significantly higher than the ionic conductivity (about three orders of magnitude difference), resulting in electrochemical reactions occurring preferentially on the diaphragm side (faster ion transmission), forming a longitudinal lithium concentration gradient, causing insufficient utilization of the positive electrode active material on the current collector side, local overcharge / undercharge and chemical mechanical degradation, and charge transfer imbalance, which in turn affects the capacity and cycle durability of the solid-state battery. In addition, the existing solid-state positive electrode preparation technology only focuses on optimizing the electron transmission path (such as adding conductive carbon), and cannot simultaneously balance the ion / electron transfer, resulting in rapid capacity decay of thick positive electrodes (>100μm) (such as capacity retention <60% after 2000 cycles) and poor rate performance (5C capacity <15mAh g -1 ). Therefore, the traditional single-layer composite cathode cannot meet the requirements of electric vehicles and grid energy storage for solid-state batteries with high energy density, long cycle life and fast charge and discharge.

[0064] (4) A positive electrode current collector (stainless steel in this example) is bonded to the high electron conductivity layer, and a negative electrode (lithium metal foil) is placed between the other side of the solid electrolyte separator and the negative electrode current collector (stainless steel in this example), and pressed into an all-solid-state lithium-ion battery.

[0065] like Figure 1a As shown, the all-solid-state lithium-ion battery includes a positive electrode current collector 1, a solid electrolyte separator 3, a gradient composite positive electrode structure 2, a negative electrode 4, and a negative electrode current collector 5. The high ionic conductivity layer in the gradient composite positive electrode structure 2 (the high ionic conductivity layer is composed of a positive electrode active material 24 and a first solid electrolyte 23) is attached to one side of the solid electrolyte separator 3, the high electronic conductivity layer (the high electronic conductivity layer is composed of a positive electrode active material 24, a second solid electrolyte 22, and a conductive carbon 21) is attached to the positive electrode current collector 1, and the negative electrode 4 is attached between the other side of the solid electrolyte separator 3 and the negative electrode current collector 5.

Thus, in the obtained all-solid-state lithium-ion battery, the surface loading of the positive electrode active material is 26.5 mg cm -2 .

[0077] Comparative Example 3

[0078] The difference from Example 3 is that the positive electrode structure adopts a single-layer composite electrode (32 mg), which is composed of a positive electrode active material (NCM811) with a mass ratio of 65:30:5, a solid electrolyte (Li 5.5 PS 4.5 Cl 1.5 ), and conductive carbon (SuperP), and the same preparation method as in Example 1 was used to prepare an all-solid-state lithium-ion battery comprising the positive electrode structure (named CC) (the surface loading of the positive electrode active material was 26.5 mg cm -2 ).
