[0018] While high-performance cathodes for solid-state battery cells (SSB) are shown in connection with electric vehicles according to the present disclosure, the high-performance cathodes for solid-state battery cells can be used in stationary applications and / or other applications.

[0019] A sulfide electrolyte can provide an ionic conductivity comparable to that of carbonate-based electrolytes. However, the performance of a composite cathode electrode with a sulfide electrolyte is impaired by the sluggish ion transport at the interface between the active material and the solid electrolyte, and by the unfavorable ionic conductivity resulting from poor percolation of the solid electrolyte within the electrode.

[0020] A high-performance cathode electrode for a pure solid-state battery (ASSB) according to the present disclosure comprises single-crystal cathode particles with an outer layer of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and lithium zirconate (Li2ZrO3) to prevent interfacial side reactions. The cathode particles are used with a solid electrolyte of a predetermined size to enable efficient ion transport within the cathode electrode. If the solid electrolyte particles in the cathode are too small, strong percolation of the solid electrolyte occurs, resulting in reduced ion transport. Larger solid electrolyte particles exhibit higher porosity and poorer percolation of the solid electrolyte. The thickness of the coating on the cathode particles is also optimized to prevent chemical reactions (which would occur without a coating) while simultaneously optimizing lithium ion transport.

[0021] The cathode electrode can, for example, comprise lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) particles coated with a lithium niobate (LiNbO3) coating (e.g., with a thickness of 10 µm) to inhibit interfacial side reactions. The size of the sulfide solid electrolyte particles (e.g., D) 50 The diameter (e.g., 8 µm) is chosen to allow for efficient ion transport within the cathode electrode. The high-performance composite cathode electrode can, for example, deliver a 3C discharge capacity of 88 mAh / g and a 5C discharge capacity of 74 mAh / g at 25 °C.

[0022] With the following reference to Fig. 1 comprises a solid-state battery cell 10 C, cathode electrodes 20, A anode electrodes 40, and S separators 32, arranged in a predetermined sequence in a stack 12 within a housing 50, where C, S, and A are integers greater than zero. The C cathode electrodes 20-1, 20-2, ..., and 20-C comprise cathode active layers 24 arranged on one or both sides of the cathode current collectors 26. The A anode electrodes 40-1, 40-2, ..., and 40 comprise anode active layers 42 arranged on one or both sides of the anode current collectors 46.

[0023] In some examples, the anode active layers 42 and / or the cathode active layers 24 are freestanding electrodes arranged alongside (or attached to) the current collectors. In some examples, the anode active layers 42 and / or the cathode active layers 24 comprise coatings of one or more active materials, one or more conductive fillers / additives, and / or one or more binders applied to the current collectors. In some examples, the cathode current collectors 26 and / or the anode current collectors 46 comprise wire mesh, foil, and / or expanded metal. In some examples, the current collectors are made of one or more materials selected from a group consisting of copper, stainless steel, brass, bronze, zinc, aluminum, and / or their alloys.The external tabs 28 and 48 can be connected to the current collectors of the cathode electrodes and anode electrodes on the same or opposite sides of the battery stack.

[0024] With the following reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows a more detailed example of the solid-state battery cell. Fig. 2 comprises the cathode active material layer 24, cathode active material 210, and solid electrolyte 212 (e.g., sulfide solid electrolyte). The separator 32 comprises a solid electrolyte 220 (e.g., a sulfide solid electrolyte). The anode active material layer 40 comprises anode active material 230 and solid electrolyte 232 (e.g., sulfide solid electrolyte).

[0025] In Fig. 3 comprises the cathode active material 210, single-crystal particles 250 of the cathode active material, and an outer layer 252 applied or otherwise deposited onto a radially outer surface of the particles 250. In some examples, the particles 250 comprise NMC or another cathode active material described below. According to the invention, the outer layer 252 comprises lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and lithium zirconate (Li2ZrO3), although other materials may also be used. In some examples, the NMC particles 250 comprise 68 wt.% to 92 wt.% and the outer layer 8 wt.% to 32 wt.%. In some examples, the weight ratio between the particles 250 and the outer layer 252 is 70:30. In some examples, the coated NMC particles inhibit interfacial side reactions, and the solid electrolyte enables efficient ion transport pathways in the cathode electrode.

[0026] In some examples, the particles 250 have a diameter of 2µm < D 50 < 5 µm (e.g., 3.8 µm). According to the invention, the surface area of ​​the particles, as defined by Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET), lies in a range of 0.2 to 0.8 m². 2 / g. In some examples, nickel (Ni) comprises 50 to 72 mol% of the NMC particles, manganese (Mn) comprises 8 to 40 mol%, and cobalt (Co) comprises 10 to 20 mol%. In some examples, the outer layer 252 has a thickness in the range of 7 nm to 13 nm (e.g., 10 nm). In some examples, the sulfide electrolyte 212 has a diameter of 4 µm < D 50 < 12 µm (e.g. 8 µm) and D 90 < 15 µm (e.g., 14.7 µm). In some examples, the sulfide electrolyte 212 has a diameter of 5 µm < D 50 < 10 µm. The ionic conductivity is greater than 1 mS / cm.

[0027] With the following reference to Fig. Sections 4A to 4C show the performance of NMC particles with outer layers of different thicknesses. Fig. 4A shows the voltage as a function of the capacity (mAh / g) for NMC without the outer layer (at 300), NMC with a 5 nm outer layer (at 305), NMC with a 10 nm outer layer (at 310), and NMC with a 15 nm outer layer (at 315). Some of the coated NMC examples (e.g., 5 nm and 10 nm coatings) outperform the uncoated NMC. In Fig. Figure 4B shows the impedance of coated and uncoated NMC. Some of the coated NMC examples (e.g., 5 nm and 10 nm coatings) exhibit lower resistance.

[0028] In Fig. 4C shows the capacitance as a function of cycles. Some of the coated NMC examples (e.g., 5 nm and 10 nm coatings) exhibit higher capacitance than uncoated NMC. As can be seen, the LiNbO3 coating (according to the invention, if it also includes Li2ZrO3) enables an electrochemically stable NMC / SE interface. NMC with the 10 nm coating exhibits the lowest interface resistance with sulfide electrolyte.

[0029] With the following reference to Fig. Figure 5 shows a process 400 for manufacturing a cathode electrode in a dry process. In Figure 410, coated cathode active material and solid sulfide electrolyte particles are mixed. In Figure 414, a binder and a conductive additive are added to the coated cathode active material and the solid sulfide electrolyte and mixed. In Figure 416, the mixture is sheared (e.g., to fibrill the binder) and pressed and / or rolled to form a freestanding cathode membrane. In Figure 418, the membrane is attached to a cathode current collector. In some examples, one or more sets of rollers may be used to apply pressure and / or heat (or another device may be used). In Figure 426, anode electrodes, the cathode electrodes, and separators are arranged in a battery cell.

[0030] With the following reference to Fig. Figure 6 shows a method 500 for manufacturing a cathode electrode. Figure 510 shows the coated cathode active material, the solid sulfide electrolyte, the solvent, the binder, and the conductive additive being mixed. Figure 514 shows the mixture being applied to a cathode current collector. Figure 518 shows the mixture being pressed and / or heated with a roller or other device to form the cathode electrode. Figure 522 shows the anode electrodes, the cathode electrodes, and the separators arranged in a battery cell.

[0031] With the following reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. Section 8 shows the influence of the size of the sulfide solid electrolyte. Fig. Figure 7 shows enlarged views of the solid electrolyte and the cathode electrode. When using 5 µm and 8 µm electrodes, the cathode electrode is packed most tightly after pressing. Random sizes and larger sizes (e.g., 15 µm) exhibit voids after pressing. Fig. 8.
