Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of batteries, and more specifically to self-healing all-solid-state batteries. Background Technology
[0002] The world's growing population and significant changes in lifestyles are accelerating global energy demand. The massive consumption of fossil fuels causes environmental damage and negatively impacts climate change. Lithium-ion batteries dominate the portable electronics market, are penetrating the electric vehicle market, and are poised to enter the grid storage utility market. Among all-solid-state batteries, all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries have garnered significant attention because they use a solid electrolyte instead of a traditional liquid electrolyte, resulting in higher energy density and enhanced safety.
[0003] Generally, in the fabrication process of an all-solid-state battery stack, the negative electrode current collector layer, negative electrode active material layer, solid electrolyte layer, positive electrode active material layer, and positive electrode current collector layer are stacked in this order. In the cutting process, a cutting device with blades cuts the stack along its stacking direction. When the cut surface of the stack is viewed from a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction (hereinafter also referred to as the "width direction"), the cut surface forms a plane. In other words, the end faces of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode active material layer, the solid electrolyte layer, the negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode current collector form a generally continuous surface. On one side of the width direction, the end face of the positive electrode current collector is electrically connected to the positive electrode current collector terminal. On the opposite side of the width direction, the end face of the negative electrode current collector is electrically connected to the negative electrode current collector terminal.
[0004] However, mechanical damage caused by unexpected factors such as extrusion stress in all-solid-state battery stacks can disrupt the structural integrity and functional continuity of polymer components. Specifically, structural damage to polymers typically begins with the initial formation of micropores, followed by crack growth and propagation until these cracks reach the macroscopic level of material failure, leading to performance degradation, malfunctions, and poor stacking in all-solid-state batteries. Among existing polymer-based composite materials, self-healing methods mainly include intrinsic self-healing and exogenous self-healing, the difference being whether an external repair agent is required. Intrinsic self-healing achieves its self-healing function through the action of chemical bonds or characteristic functional groups unique to the material. This repair method can be further divided into physical self-healing and chemical self-healing based on the type of chemical bond. Intrinsic self-healing polymers can repeatedly repair themselves through the dynamic recombination of covalent or non-covalent bonds and the mixing of polymer chains at the damaged interface. Exogenous self-healing occurs when a dispersed repair agent (e.g., a mixture of monomers and polymerization initiators or catalysts) is released immediately after the ruptured reservoir is damaged due to capillary effects, repairing the damaged area through spontaneous polymerization (timely response).
[0005] However, the self-repair effect of existing all-solid-state batteries after mechanical damage is not ideal, and there is an urgent need to provide an all-solid-state battery with a highly efficient self-repair effect. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of unsatisfactory self-repair effect of existing all-solid-state batteries after mechanical damage, and to provide a self-repairing all-solid-state battery with good self-repair effect.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a self-healing all-solid-state battery, which includes at least one unit electrode body; the unit electrode body includes a positive electrode active material layer, a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode active material layer stacked sequentially from top to bottom, and the end of the unit electrode body is fixedly connected to an insulator.
[0008] In the unit electrode body, the ratio of the horizontal projected area of the positive electrode active material layer to that of the negative electrode active material layer is 1:1-1.5;
[0009] The insulator contains an epoxy resin with a catalyst, and the epoxy resin has a built-in release unit that releases a repair agent when the insulator is subjected to mechanical compression, so as to promote the epoxy resin to react with the repair agent.
[0010] The self-healing all-solid-state battery prepared using the above technical solution incorporates a release unit containing a repair agent within a catalyst-containing epoxy resin. This release unit releases the repair agent when the insulator is subjected to mechanical compression. Under the action of the catalyst, the repair agent penetrates into the epoxy resin cracks and undergoes a ring-opening metathesis polymerization reaction, thereby generating a tough cross-linked polymer that covers the original fracture surface, promoting the self-repair of the all-solid-state battery. Therefore, the electrochemical performance and cycle performance of this all-solid-state battery are further improved. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The insulator 07 includes an epoxy resin containing a catalyst, and the epoxy resin has a built-in release unit. When the insulator 07 is subjected to mechanical compression, the release unit releases a repair agent to promote a contact reaction between the epoxy resin and the repair agent.
[0018] The self-healing all-solid-state battery described in this invention promotes timely contact between the repair agent and the catalyst in the epoxy resin, thereby triggering a ring-opening metathesis polymerization reaction to generate a cross-linked polymer that covers the original fracture surface, enabling the all-solid-state battery to complete self-repair.
[0019] In this invention, when the repair agent comes into timely contact with the catalyst in the epoxy resin, the self-healing performance of the self-healing all-solid-state battery can be improved.

[0088] Test methods
[0089] The self-healing efficiency was evaluated based on the ability of the healing coating to restore fracture toughness: First, tensile tests were performed on the insulators in the aforementioned all-solid-state batteries at tensile stresses of 500 MPa and 800 MPa, respectively, with a four-point bending load applied to bring the insulators into a tensile state. In each loading cycle, the same crack reopened, followed by repeated healing. Second, acoustic emission sensors were placed on a crossbeam to detect crack opening events during the test. The time of the critical acoustic emission event was used to determine the load at which crack formation and reopening occurred in the original and healed sample tests. Quantitative repair testing was limited to a single crack; the loading process was stopped after the first acoustic emission signal was detected. In a few tests, new cracks did indeed appear in the coating during reloading. Samples with additional cracks were not further tested to allow for more accurate comparison of different repair cycles and samples. After testing, the insulator was allowed to heal at room temperature (25°C) for 12 hours. Any excess repair agent monomers were removed from the network by applying a slight vacuum. The network was then replenished with monomers before the next bending test. This cycle was repeated until the cracks no longer healed. According to the critical load ratio for crack opening η = P healed / P Virgin Calculate the healing efficiency for each healing cycle.
