[0028] In the development of next-generation high-energy-density solid-state batteries, silicon-based anodes are considered key materials for overcoming the bottlenecks of existing graphite anodes due to their ultra-high theoretical specific capacity (>1000 mAh / g). However, silicon-based materials face severe volume expansion (>300%) during charge and discharge, leading to problems such as electrode structure pulverization, intensified interfacial side reactions, and increased gas production. This, in turn, causes industrialization challenges such as short battery cycle life (<1000 cycles), low energy efficiency (<97%), and high internal resistance (>3 mΩ).

A silicon-based negative electrode material slurry is coated on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector and dried to obtain an electrode assembly containing a negative electrode active material layer. A transport layer and a gas adsorption layer are sequentially formed on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer to obtain the negative electrode sheet.

Simultaneously, on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer facing away from the negative electrode current collector, there are an interface modification layer, a transport layer, and a gas adsorption layer. The transport layer can improve ion transport and electron conduction capabilities, while the adsorption layer can adsorb gas generated during the use of the silicon-based battery, reducing battery expansion and improving the overall performance of the silicon-based battery. The fluorinated composite binder in the silicon-based negative electrode material solves the mechanical mismatch problem of traditional silicon-based negative electrode active materials, and the interface modification layer solves the ion / electron transport and gas generation problems. The two work synergistically to achieve a triple optimization of "mechanical-electrochemical-gas generation".

[0107] Performance testing The silicon-based anode sheets from Examples 6 to 10 and Comparative Examples 4 to 10 were assembled into solid-state batteries, and their electrical performance was tested, including their expansion rate, DC internal resistance (DCR), gas production, and cycle performance. The specific steps are as follows: Assembly process: Positive electrode: NCM9 (lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, 90% nickel content) is the positive electrode; Separator: Boehmite-coated PE membrane; Electrolyte: Oxide / polymer composite solid electrolyte (LLZO lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide ceramic particles + PEO polyethylene oxide polymer + 10wt% dual-salt liquid electrolyte (LiPF6:LiFSI=1:1)); Assembly: Stacking process, packaged into soft-pack cells.
[0108] Performance testing methods and steps: Expansion rate: The rate of change in battery thickness from the initial state (0% SOC) to the final state (100% SOC) is measured under constant pressure and temperature (typically 25±1℃).
[0109] DC internal resistance (DCR): 1) Charge the cell to 4.2V with constant current and constant voltage at 1 / 3C, cut off current at 0.05C, let stand for 0.5h, discharge the cell to 2.5V with constant current at 1 / 3C, let stand for 0.5h, repeat 3 times; 2) Charge to the specified SOC (50% SOC) with standard charging current, let stand for 60min, discharge the cell at 1.0C for 30s, let stand for 40s, charge the cell at 1.0C for 30s; increase the discharge DCR by 3C / 10s, let stand for 40s, charge at 1.25C / 10s; 3) DCR = (U_initial - U_end) / I (U_initial is the voltage before charging and discharging, U_end is the voltage at the end of charging and discharging).
[0110] Gas production: 1) Soft-pack battery fully charged to 4.2V, constant temperature 25℃±1℃; 2) In-situ gas chromatography (detection of CO2 / H2 release, unit mL / Ah).
[0111] Cyclic performance: 1) The cell undergoes 3 standard charge-discharge cycles, is left to stand until thermal equilibrium is reached, and the capacity of the last discharge is taken as C0; (25℃±1℃); 2) The cell undergoes a standard discharge after a DC internal resistance test; 3) At 25℃±1℃, the cell is charged in steps to 99% SOC, left to stand until thermal equilibrium is reached, discharged at 1C to 1% SOC, and left to stand until thermal equilibrium is reached; until the capacity decays to 80% SOH, the number of cycles is recorded.
[0112] The specific test results are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Performance of the negative electrode sheets of Examples 6 to 10 and Comparative Examples 4 to 10
[0113] As shown in Table 1, the negative electrode sheets from Examples 6 to 10, when assembled into batteries, exhibit the following performance advantages: The expansion rate was 8-9% (comparative examples were all >9.5%), the DCR internal resistance was 1.8-2.0 mΩ (comparative examples were all >2.1 mΩ), the gas production rate was 0.25-0.30 mL / Ah (comparative examples were all >0.38 mL / Ah), and the cycle life was 1100-1200 cycles (comparative examples were all <950 cycles).
[0114] Comparative Example 4, due to the use of PAA adhesive, suffers from high expansion defects caused by mechanical mismatch.
[0115] Comparative Example 5, lacking fluorinated copolymers, suffers from insufficient modulus and high expansion rate.
[0116] Comparative Example 6, lacking fluoropolymers, exhibits defects such as stress buffer failure and high expansion rate.
[0117] Comparative Example 7, lacking an interface modification layer, suffers from drawbacks such as blocked ion / electron transport, numerous side reactions, and excessive gas production.
[0118] Comparative Example 8 has the defect of high gas production because it does not have a gas adsorption layer.
[0119] Comparative Example 9 has the defect of increased interface impedance due to the absence of a transmission layer.
[0120] Comparative Example 10 has a defect that hinders lithium-ion migration because it does not have an ion transport layer.
[0121] In summary, by using fluorinated copolymers with a fluorine content greater than or equal to 60%, a large number of highly polar fluorine segments can be provided. These highly polar fluorine segments react with the F in lithium fluoride salts. - The van der Waals forces and dipole interactions (bond energy ≈ 20~50 kJ / mol) form a dense interfacial layer (contact angle 125°, tested with 1M LiPF6 / EC:DMC electrolyte), which can inhibit electrolyte penetration and improve interfacial stability and cycle performance. The fluoropolymer has an elastic modulus of 0.8~1.0 GPa, providing elastic buffering for silicon-based anode materials. The three-dimensional elastic cross-linked network formed within it can uniformly disperse the expansion stress of the silicon-based anode, reducing crack formation, minimizing transport channel breakage, maintaining transport channel stability, and improving ion transport performance.
