[0002] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed on March 8, 2024, application number CN2024102711459, titled “Solid-state battery material, positive electrode active material layer, positive electrode membrane, solid electrolyte membrane, solid-state battery, electric device and application”, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this application.
[0003] The present application relates to the field of solid-state battery technology, and more specifically to solid-state battery materials, a positive electrode active material layer, a positive electrode film, a solid electrolyte film, a solid-state battery, an electric device, and applications. Background Technology
[0004] The statements herein are provided for background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0005] Solid-state batteries utilize non-flammable solid electrolytes to replace the organic electrolytes found in traditional liquid secondary batteries, significantly enhancing safety and are considered the next-generation batteries closest to industrialization. Comprehensively improving the discharge capacity and cycle performance of solid-state batteries is of significant importance in promoting their industrialization.
[0006] According to various embodiments and examples of the present application, the present application provides a solid battery material, a positive electrode active material layer, a positive electrode film, a solid electrolyte film, a solid battery, an electric device, and an application. An oxygen storage layer is installed in the solid battery material, and by using the solid battery material as a manufacturing raw material, the discharge capacity and cycle performance of a sulfide solid battery can be improved.
[0007] In a first aspect of the present application, a solid battery material comprising coated particles is provided, wherein the coated particles comprise a particle body and an oxygen storage layer located on at least a portion of the surface of the particle body, and the oxygen storage layer comprises an oxygen storage material;
[0008] Here, the coated particles comprise at least one of coated anode active particles and coated electrolyte particles;
[0009] When the above-mentioned coated particle is the above-mentioned coated anode-active particle, the particle body is an anode-active body, and the anode-active body includes an anode-active material;
[0010] When the above-mentioned coated particle is the above-mentioned coated electrolyte particle, the particle body is a solid electrolyte body, and the solid electrolyte body includes a sulfide electrolyte.
[0011] This solid battery material can be used as a sulfide solid battery material, and this solid battery material comprises coated particles having a surface oxygen storage layer installed thereon, wherein the oxygen storage layer is positioned on at least a portion of the surface of the coated particles; the coated particles may be positively active particles coated with a surface oxygen storage layer, may be sulfide-based electrolyte particles coated with a surface oxygen storage layer, or may be a combination of the two types of particles mentioned above coated with a surface oxygen storage layer. When manufacturing a sulfide solid battery using this solid battery material, the probability of contact between the sulfide electrolyte and oxygen can be reduced by utilizing the oxygen absorption effect of the oxygen storage material in the oxygen storage layer, thereby improving the chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte during the battery manufacturing process, which is advantageous for fully exercising the role of rapid ion conduction of the sulfide electrolyte, thereby improving and promoting stable operation of the solid battery, and is advantageous for improving the discharge capacity and cycle performance of the sulfide solid battery.
[0012] The coated electrolyte particle comprises a solid electrolyte body and an oxygen storage layer located on at least a portion of the surface of the solid electrolyte body, the solid electrolyte body comprises a sulfide electrolyte, and the oxygen storage layer comprises an oxygen storage material. Accordingly, the coated electrolyte particle is a sulfide-based electrolyte particle with an oxygen storage layer installed on its surface, and the coated electrolyte particle can be used as a solid electrolyte in the solid electrolyte layer of a solid battery, and can also be used as a solid electrolyte in the electrode active material layer, and, for example, can be used as a solid electrolyte in the positive electrode active material layer. When coated electrolyte particles are used to manufacture individual solid electrolyte membranes or anode membranes, or to form an anode layer on a substrate (e.g., a solid electrolyte membrane), and during the process of manufacturing a solid-state battery using a membrane sheet containing these coated electrolyte particles, the oxygen storage layer installed on the surface of the coated electrolyte particles can serve to protect the sulfide electrolyte and reduce or prevent the decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte by oxygen in the air, thereby improving the chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte during the battery manufacturing process. This is advantageous for the sulfide electrolyte to fully perform its role of rapid ion conduction, which promotes stable operation of the solid-state battery and is beneficial for improving the discharge capacity and cycle performance of the sulfide solid-state battery. Furthermore, the oxygen storage layer installed on the surface of the coated electrolyte particles can reduce or prevent direct contact between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture in the air, thereby suppressing the decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte and the generation of hydrogen sulfide gas, which is advantageous for improving the chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte. Therefore, by installing an oxygen storage layer on the surface of the sulfide electrolyte, the oxygen storage material within the oxygen storage layer can absorb and store oxygen, and also block direct contact between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture, thereby providing superior air stability to the coated electrolyte particles.
[0013] The coated positive active particle comprises a positive active body and an oxygen storage layer located on at least a portion of the surface of the positive active body, wherein the positive active body comprises a positive active material and the oxygen storage layer comprises an oxygen storage material, and thus, the coated positive active particle is a positive active particle having an oxygen storage layer installed on its surface. This coated positive active particle can provide a positive active material to the positive layer of a solid-state battery. In the case of solid-state batteries, generally, anode electrolyte particles are installed on the anode active material layer of the anode layer to accelerate ion conduction, reduce interfacial impedance, and maximize the utilization of the anode active particle capacity. When the anode electrolyte particles are sulfide-based electrolytes, i.e., when they contain sulfide electrolytes, the oxygen storage layer installed on the surface of the coated anode active particles during the manufacturing process of the anode film, the anode layer of the solid-state battery, and the solid-state battery can absorb and store oxygen. This can reduce or prevent the erosion and decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte by oxygen in the air, thereby promoting stable operation of the solid-state battery. This is advantageous for fully utilizing the rapid ion conduction function of the sulfide electrolyte and reducing interfacial impedance, which promotes stable operation of the solid-state battery. Consequently, it is beneficial for improving the discharge capacity and cycle performance of the sulfide solid-state battery, and can also improve the scaling performance of the solid-state battery. Therefore, by installing an oxygen storage layer on the surface of the positive electrode active material, it can serve to protect the sulfide-based electrolyte used in combination with it, thereby improving the air stability of the positive electrode electrolyte particles and the positive electrode layer, which is advantageous for improving the aforementioned electrochemical performance of the solid-state battery.

[0015] In some embodiments, the oxygen storage material is

[0017] The above yttrium barium cobalt oxide type oxygen storage material has the chemical formula (Y x M1 (1-x) )(Ba y M2 (1-y) )(Co z M3 (1-z) )4O 7+δ2 Includes a phosphorus oxygen storage material, wherein M1 is selected from one or more elements among Ca, In, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu, M2 is Sr, M3 is selected from one or more elements among Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Al, Ga, and Zr, and 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤1, 0≤δ2≤1.5;
[0018] The above perovskite-type oxygen storage material has the chemical formula La1 - a A a Mn1 - b B b O3 - δ3 It includes an oxygen storage material, wherein A is selected from one or more elements among Sr, Y, Ce, Pr, and Nd, B is selected from one or more elements among Ni, Fe, Cu, and Co, and satisfies one or more of the characteristics such as 0≤a≤1, 0≤b≤1, and 0≤δ3≤1.
[0019] By selecting the aforementioned type of oxygen storage material, an oxygen storage layer can be formed on the surface of the positive active body or the solid electrolyte body. This allows for improved chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte during the battery manufacturing process, which is advantageous for improving the discharge capacity and cycle performance of the sulfide solid battery.
[0020] In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the oxygen storage material in the coated particles is 0.1% to 10% by weight, and optionally 0.5% to 5% by weight.
[0021] In some embodiments, the thickness of the oxygen storage layer is 0.1 nm to 50 nm, and optionally 0.5 nm to 10 nm.
[0022] It can be understood that the amount of oxygen storage material coating can be controlled by controlling any of the parameters among the weight ratio of the coated particles of the oxygen storage material and the thickness of the oxygen storage layer, and that the amount of oxygen storage material coating can also be controlled by controlling these two parameters simultaneously. By controlling at least one of the parameters among the weight ratio of the coated particles of the oxygen storage material and the thickness of the oxygen storage layer within the aforementioned range, it is advantageous not only to improve the stability of the sulfide electrolyte component involved in the solid-state battery manufacturing process, but also to fully perform the role of rapid ion conduction of the sulfide electrolyte and to reduce interfacial resistance.
[0023] In some embodiments, the oxygen storage material comprises oxygen storage particles, and the particle size of the oxygen storage particles is 1 nm to 100 nm, optionally 1 nm to 50 nm.
[0024] The oxygen storage material located in the oxygen storage layer may be particulate oxygen storage particles, and in this case, the specific surface area of the oxygen storage particles can be controlled by adjusting the particle size of the oxygen storage particles. When the particle size of the oxygen storage particles is controlled within the aforementioned range, it is advantageous to allow the oxygen storage particles to have a larger oxygen absorption surface, which is advantageous for the oxygen storage material to effectively perform its role of absorbing and storing oxygen, and also advantageous for it to perform its role of blocking moisture from the air.
[0025] In some embodiments, the particle size of the anode active body is 0.1 μm to 20 μm, and optionally 1 μm to 10 μm.
[0026] In some embodiments, D of the coated anodic active particles v 50 is 0.1 μm to 20 μm, optionally 1 μm to 10 μm; where, D v 50 represents the corresponding particle size when the cumulative volume distribution percentage of the multi-particle mixture reaches 50%.
[0027] D of coated positively active particles v The dimensional size of the coated anode active particles can be controlled by controlling at least one of the particle size of 50 and the anode active body. D of the coated anode active particles vBy controlling at least one parameter of the particle size of the anode active body within the range described above, it is advantageous to improve the discharge capacity of the coated anode active particles and maintain good contact between the coated anode active particles and the sulfide-based electrolyte in the composite anode. The active ion transport pathways inside the coated anode active particles having smaller dimensions are shorter, which is advantageous for improving the discharge capacity of the coated anode active particles themselves; the coated anode active particles having larger dimensions can be better coated by the sulfide-based electrolyte and have better interfacial contact with the sulfide-based electrolyte, which is advantageous for the cycle performance of the battery. Coated anode active particles with relatively moderate dimensions can enable the battery to achieve both high discharge capacity and excellent cycle performance.

[0029] Optionally, the oxide cathode active material comprises a lithium transition metal oxide.
[0030] In some embodiments, the lithium transition metal oxide comprises one or more of a lithium cobalt oxide-type cathode active material, a high nickel cathode active material, a lithium-rich manganese-based cathode active material, and a modified form of any of the aforementioned cathode active materials, wherein the modified form comprises one or more of doping modification and coating modification;
[0031] Optionally,
[0032] The lithium cobalt oxide type cathode active material comprises a Li element, a Co element, and an O element, wherein the atomic molar ratio of the Co element and the O element is x2:2 and satisfies 0.9≤x2≤1; optionally, the lithium cobalt oxide type cathode active material comprises a Li element, a Co element, and an O element with an atomic molar ratio of 1:x2:2 and satisfies 0.9≤x2≤1;

[0037] 0.2≤p≤1 satisfies one or more of the characteristics.
[0038] In some embodiments, the lithium transition metal oxide is

[0040] The above-mentioned high-nickel cathode active material has the chemical formula LiNi y2 Co z2 D1 -y2- z2 It comprises a lithium transition metal oxide of O2, wherein 0≤z2≤0.4, 0.6≤(y2+z2)≤1, and D is selected from one or more elements among Mn, Al, Zr, La, Ce, Ti, Mg, Nb, Ta, Mo, and W; optionally, D comprises the element Mn;

[0042] When the anode active material among the anode active particles includes an oxide anode active material (e.g., lithium transition metal oxide), the oxide anode active material can release oxygen under high voltage operating conditions. By installing the aforementioned solid battery material on a positive electrode active material layer containing an oxide positive electrode active material (e.g., lithium transition metal oxide), direct contact between the oxide positive electrode active material and the sulfide electrolyte can be prevented, and oxygen released from the positive electrode can be absorbed through an oxygen storage material to suppress the attack of the released oxygen on the sulfide electrolyte, thereby further reducing the oxidative decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte by oxygen, suppressing interfacial side reactions between the oxide positive electrode active material (e.g., lithium transition metal oxide) and the sulfide electrolyte, and suppressing the increase in interfacial impedance. This is advantageous for improving the stability of the sulfide electrolyte within the positive electrode layer during the cycling process of the sulfide solid battery, thereby maintaining excellent conductivity, allowing the ionic conduction of the sulfide electrolyte to be exerted over the long term, and allowing the capacity of the positive electrode active particles to be fully exerted, thereby providing excellent high voltage stability to the sulfide solid battery. Additionally, the sulfide solid battery can be made to have higher initial Coulomb efficiency, higher discharge capacity, higher magnification performance, and better cycle performance. In addition, after a specific concentration of oxygen is stored in the oxygen storage material, the partial pressure of oxygen on the surface of the anode material increases, further hindering the release of oxygen from the anode material, which can enhance the structural stability of the anode material.
[0043] When the anode active material among the anode active particles includes an oxide anode active material (e.g., a lithium transition metal oxide), at least one parameter among the weight ratio of the coated particles of the oxygen storage material and the thickness of the oxygen storage layer can be controlled to simultaneously consider oxygen release suppression and good interfacial ion transport. This not only suppresses oxygen release and improves the stability of the sulfide electrolyte to achieve good discharge capacity and cycle performance, but also enables good interfacial ion transport to fully utilize the discharge capacity of the anode layer.
[0044] When the anode active material among the anode active particles includes an oxide anode active material (e.g., a lithium transition metal oxide), D of the coated anode active particles v By controlling at least one of the particle size of 50 and the anode active body, the amount of oxygen storage material in the oxygen storage layer relative to the anode active material contained within the anode active complement may also be indirectly controlled. D of the coated anode active particle v By controlling at least one parameter of the particle size of the anode active body within the range described above, the oxygen storage material is not only advantageous for providing sufficient oxygen absorption capacity, but also for improving the discharge capacity of the coated anode active particles and maintaining good contact between the coated anode active particles and the sulfide-based electrolyte in the composite anode.
[0045] Lithium transition metal oxides, such as lithium cobalt oxide-type cathode active materials, high-nickel cathode active materials, and lithium-rich manganese-based cathode active materials, readily release oxygen under high-voltage operating conditions. When using such lithium transition metal oxides as the cathode active material among cathode active particles, installing the aforementioned solid battery material in the cathode active material layer is advantageous for considering both high energy density and long cycle performance of sulfide solid batteries under conditions where oxygen release from the cathode is possible.
[0046] When a solid battery material installed in a positive electrode active material layer includes the aforementioned coated positive electrode active particles, additionally, it is advantageous for suppressing oxygen release from the positive electrode material, improving the crystal structural stability of the positive electrode active particles during battery cycling, and suppressing the formation of surface rock salt phases, thereby enabling sufficient positive electrode capacity and improving the long-cycle performance of the battery.
[0047] In some embodiments, the particle size of the solid electrolyte body is 1 nm to 20 μm, and optionally 50 nm to 5 μm.
[0048] In some embodiments, D of the coated electrolyte particles v 50 is 1 nm to 20 μm, optionally 50 nm to 5 μm; where, D v 50 represents the corresponding particle size when the cumulative volume distribution percentage of the multi-particle mixture reaches 50%.
[0049] D of coated electrolyte particles v The dimensional size of the coated electrolyte particles can be controlled by controlling at least one of the particle size of 50 and the solid electrolyte body. D of the coated electrolyte particles v By controlling at least one of the particle sizes of the solid electrolyte body and the coated electrolyte particles within the aforementioned range, it is advantageous to improve the overall ion conductivity of the membrane layer where the coated electrolyte particles are located, and to provide a superior electrical contact network, while also considering manufacturing costs and controlling the manufacturing cost of the solid electrolyte body and the amount of oxygen storage material required to manufacture the coated electrolyte particles. A relatively small particle size of the coated electrolyte particles is advantageous for improving electrical contact between positive active particles within the positive membrane or positive layer, thereby further promoting the capacity development of the solid-state battery. A relatively moderate particle size of the coated electrolyte particles is easier to manufacture.

[0062] By controlling the weight ratio of coated anode active particles in the anode active material layer within the aforementioned range, it is advantageous to consider both high energy density and cycle stability.
[0063] When a sulfide-based electrolyte is included in the anode active material layer, controlling the weight ratio of the coated anode active particles in the anode active material layer within the aforementioned range is also advantageous for achieving a combination and balance between high energy density and reduced oxidative decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte contained in the sulfide-based electrolyte.

However, unnecessary detailed descriptions may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of known matters and redundant descriptions of identical structures may be omitted.

A range limited in this way may include or not include end values, any end values may be included or not included independently, and may be combined arbitrarily, that is, any lower limit may be combined with any upper limit to form a range.

[0119] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the term "solid battery" provided herein refers to a battery in which the electrolyte within the battery comprises a solid electrolyte; generally, a solid battery comprises a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode layer. During the charging and discharging process of the battery, active ions are reciprocally inserted into and removed between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer. Since the solid electrolyte layer acts as an ion conductor between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer and can also serve to separate the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer to prevent short circuits between them, a separator, as found in conventional lithium-ion batteries, may not be installed in a solid battery. Solid batteries have significantly improved battery safety by using a non-flammable solid electrolyte to replace the organic electrolyte of traditional liquid lithium batteries. In addition to improving safety, solid batteries can better adapt to high-energy-density positive and negative electrode materials and reduce system weight, making them advantageous for consideration in conjunction with energy density improvement.
[0120] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "solid battery" in any embodiment or example may be a sulfide solid battery. Unless otherwise specified, "sulfide solid battery" refers to a solid battery in which the electrolyte associated with the battery comprises a sulfide-based solid electrolyte. For example, the sulfide-based solid electrolyte may be located in the positive electrode layer of the sulfide solid battery and may also be located in the solid electrolyte layer. The sulfide solid battery may additionally be an all-solid battery.
[0121] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "all-solid-state battery" refers to a solid-state battery in which the electrolyte in the battery is entirely a solid electrolyte. In this case, the positive electrode layer, the negative electrode layer, and the electrolyte portion all use solid materials, and since no liquid electrolyte is installed in the battery, it may be referred to as an "all-solid-state battery."
[0122] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "solid battery" in any embodiment or example may be, but is not limited to, a sulfide all-solid-state battery. Unless otherwise specified, the "sulfide all-solid-state battery" refers to an all-solid-state battery in which the electrolyte associated with the battery comprises a sulfide-based solid electrolyte. Here, the sulfide-based solid electrolyte may be located in the positive electrode layer of the sulfide all-solid-state battery and may also be located in the solid electrolyte layer.
[0123] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "solid electrolyte" refers to an electrolyte material or electrolyte substance that exists in a solid form during the storage and manufacturing processes of the solid battery and the components constituting the solid battery, as well as during the operation of the solid battery. It may be understood that the solid electrolyte includes, but is not limited to, existing in a solid form at room temperature.
[0124] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the electrode layer may be an anode layer or a cathode layer, and the "active material" in the electrode layer refers to a material having the ability to reversibly insert and escape active ions. Unless otherwise specified, the "cathode active material" refers to a material used in the cathode layer having the ability to reversibly insert and escape active ions, and the "anode active material" refers to a material used in the anode layer having the ability to reversibly insert and escape active ions. When charging the solid-state battery, active ions escape from the anode and are inserted into the cathode through the solid electrolyte layer; when discharging the solid-state battery, active ions escape from the cathode and are inserted into the anode. There are no specific limitations on the active ions, and without limitation, the active ions may be lithium ions, corresponding to a lithium-ion solid-state battery.
[0125] In this application, "electrode active material," "electrode active substance," "active material," and "active substance" have the same meaning and may be used interchangeably; "anode active substance" and "anode active material" have the same meaning and may be used interchangeably; and "cathode active substance" and "cathode active material" have the same meaning and may be used interchangeably.
[0126] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "electrode active material layer" comprises at least one of the positive active material layer in the positive layer and the negative active material layer in the negative layer, and depending on the specific circumstances, the electrode active material layer may refer to the positive active material layer or the negative active material layer. It may be understood that the positive active material layer contains a positive active material, and the negative active material layer contains a negative active material. In this application, the "electrode active material layer" may also be briefly referred to as the "active material layer."
[0127] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the anode layer comprises at least an anode active material layer.
[0128] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the anode active material layer comprises at least anode active particles and generally further comprises anode electrolyte particles.
[0129] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "anode-active particle" refers to a particle containing an anode-active material having the ability to reversibly escape and insert active ions.
[0130] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "anode electrolyte particles" and "anode solid electrolyte" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably, referring to a solid electrolyte that can be used in an anode membrane or anode layer. The anode electrolyte particles can enhance the ion conductivity of the anode membrane or anode layer and reduce interfacial impedance, thereby promoting sufficient release of charge transfer efficiency and capacity between the anode active material and the outside.
[0131] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "negatively active particles" refers to particles containing a negatively active material having the ability to reversibly insert and escape active ions.
[0132] Except for using solid electrolyte materials in the solid electrolyte layer, solid electrolyte materials are generally installed in the anode layer as well. Currently, the common approach for solid-state batteries is to use a composite anode system on the anode side, installing both the anode active material and the solid electrolyte simultaneously at the anode. This method utilizes the solid electrolyte to enhance the ionic conductivity of the anode side, promotes the sufficient release of charge transfer efficiency and capacity between the anode active material and the external environment to reduce impedance, and simultaneously improves the cycle stability of the battery by transferring electrons using the electron conductivity of the anode active material itself. Among various solid electrolyte materials, sulfide solid electrolytes exhibit very high ionic conductivity (approximately 10 -3 ~10 -2 Due to its superior flexibility and S / cm (nearly equivalent to commercial liquid electrolytes), it possesses excellent ion conductivity and good deformation capability, making it the most promising solid electrolyte material for practical application and industrialization.
[0133] However, the air stability of sulfide solid electrolytes is poor and they are sensitive to moisture and oxygen in the air. They readily release air and hydrogen sulfide gas, which degrades ionic conductivity and poses certain safety risks, severely limiting the practical application of sulfide solid electrolytes.
[0134] On the other hand, sulfide solid electrolytes easily absorb moisture from the air and react to produce toxic hydrogen sulfide gas, which also impairs the rapid ion conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte. During the manufacturing process of solid-state batteries, the anode layer and the solid electrolyte layer inevitably come into contact with moisture from the air. Due to the instability of the sulfide electrolyte in air during the manufacturing and assembly process of the solid-state battery, the sulfide solid electrolyte in the anode layer and the solid electrolyte layer decomposes, impairing ion conductivity. This increases the interfacial impedance between the anode active particles and the anode electrolyte particles within the anode layer, and between the anode layer and the solid electrolyte layer, thereby affecting the electrochemical performance of the manufactured solid-state battery and damaging the battery's cycle performance.
[0135] On the other hand, sulfide solid electrolytes have the disadvantage of being susceptible to oxidation and decomposition. Furthermore, oxygen in the air and oxygen released from the anode layer during battery operation can attack the sulfide solid electrolyte, causing it to oxidize and decompose. This reduces the rapid ion conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte, increases the internal impedance of the anode layer and the interfacial impedance between the anode layer and the solid electrolyte layer, degrades the electrochemical performance of the manufactured solid-state battery, and impairs the battery's cycle performance.
[0136] Based on this, according to various embodiments and various examples of the present application, the embodiments and various examples of the present application provide at least a solid battery material, a positive electrode active material layer, a positive electrode film, a solid electrolyte film, a solid battery, an electric device, and an application. By using this solid battery material as a manufacturing raw material, the discharge capacity and cycle performance of a sulfide solid battery can be improved.
[0137] In a first aspect of the present application, a solid-state battery material comprising coated particles is provided, wherein the coated particles comprise a particle body and an oxygen storage layer located on at least a portion of the surface of the particle body, and the oxygen storage layer comprises an oxygen storage material;
[0138] Here, the coated particles comprise at least one of coated anode-active particles and coated electrolyte particles;
[0139] In the case where the coated particle is a coated anode-active particle, the particle body is an anode-active body, and the anode-active body includes an anode-active material;
[0140] In the case where the coated particle is a coated electrolyte particle, the particle body is a solid electrolyte body, and the solid electrolyte body contains a sulfide electrolyte.
[0141] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "solid battery material" refers to a material that can be applied to a solid battery, but is not limited to such application. Unless otherwise specified, no liquid electrolyte is present in the material, excluding particles coated on the solid battery material.
[0142] In some embodiments, the solid battery material may be a sulfide solid battery material. Unless otherwise specified, "sulfide solid battery material" is a material that can be applied to a sulfide solid battery, but is not limited to such application. Unless otherwise specified, the sulfide solid battery material comprises a sulfide-based solid electrolyte. For example, if the sulfide solid battery material comprises coated electrolyte particles, the coated electrolyte particles themselves are a sulfide-based solid electrolyte; and also, for example, if the sulfide solid battery material comprises coated positive active particles, the sulfide solid battery material also comprises a sulfide-based electrolyte.
[0143] For example, sulfide solid battery materials may additionally be all-solid-state battery materials. Unless otherwise specified, "all-solid-state battery materials" are materials that can be applied to all-solid-state batteries, but are not limited to such applications.

Unless otherwise specified, the sulfide all-solid-state battery material comprises a sulfide-based solid electrolyte and does not include a liquid electrolyte. For example, if the sulfide all-solid-state battery material comprises coated electrolyte particles, the coated electrolyte particles are a sulfide-based solid electrolyte; and also, for example, if the sulfide all-solid-state battery material comprises coated positive electrode active particles, the sulfide all-solid-state battery material also comprises a sulfide-based electrolyte.

The "sulfide electrolyte" related to the embodiments or examples of this application is not particularly limited in its form of existence and may be an independent sulfide electrolyte material, may be a part of a composite material, or, for example, may be a sulfide electrolyte component located inside a coated electrolyte particle (wherein the solid electrolyte body of the coated electrolyte particle includes the sulfide electrolyte). The "sulfide electrolyte" related to the embodiments or examples of this application may be located within either a solid electrolyte layer or an anode layer, may be included in an anode electrolyte particle, or may be included in the electrolyte material of the solid electrolyte layer.
[0148] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "sulfide-based electrolyte," "sulfide-based solid electrolyte," and "sulfide-based electrolyte particle" have the same meaning and may be used interchangeably. They refer to a solid electrolyte containing a sulfide electrolyte component and may be the sulfide electrolyte itself or may have a coating layer installed on the surface of the sulfide electrolyte, but are not limited thereto. The coating layer installed on the surface of the sulfide electrolyte may be an oxygen storage layer, but is not limited thereto. Non-limitingly, the sulfide-based electrolyte with the coating layer installed may be a coated electrolyte particle related to an embodiment or example of this application.
[0149] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the types of sulfide electrolyte components contained in different locations or different materials of the "sulfide solid-state battery" may be the same or different. For example, the types of sulfide electrolyte components contained in the anode layer and the solid electrolyte layer may be the same or different. The types of sulfide electrolyte components in a sulfide-based electrolyte without coated electrolyte particles and an oxygen storage layer may be the same or different.
[0150] In this application, unless otherwise specified, a “coated particle” is a solid material comprising a particle body and an oxygen storage layer located on at least a portion of the surface of the particle body. The oxygen storage layer may be located on a portion of the surface of the particle body and may completely cover the particle body.

When manufacturing a sulfide solid battery using this solid battery material, the probability of contact between the sulfide electrolyte and oxygen can be reduced by utilizing the oxygen absorption effect of the oxygen storage material in the oxygen storage layer, thereby improving the chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte during the battery manufacturing process, which is advantageous for fully exercising the role of rapid ion conduction of the sulfide electrolyte, thereby promoting stable operation of the solid battery and improving the discharge capacity and cycle performance of the sulfide solid battery.

Non-limitingly, the sulfide electrolyte component may be provided through coated electrolyte particles in the solid battery material and may also be provided through positive electrode electrolyte particles in the form of sulfide.
[0160] In some embodiments of the present application, coated electrolyte particles are provided. The coated electrolyte particles are the coated particles of the present application, the particle body is a solid electrolyte body, and the solid electrolyte body comprises a sulfide electrolyte.
[0161] Unless otherwise specified in this application, "coated electrolyte particles" comprise a solid electrolyte body and an oxygen storage layer located on at least a portion of the surface of the solid electrolyte body, wherein the solid electrolyte body comprises a sulfide electrolyte and the oxygen storage layer comprises an oxygen storage material. Accordingly, the coated electrolyte particles are sulfide-based electrolyte particles having an oxygen storage layer installed on their surface. Non-limitingly, coated electrolyte particles may be obtained by coating an oxygen storage material onto a sulfide-based electrolyte (e.g., a sulfide electrolyte particle) that does not have an oxygen storage layer.
[0162] These coated electrolyte particles can be used as a solid electrolyte within the solid electrolyte layer of a solid-state battery, or as a solid electrolyte within the electrode active material layer (i.e., as a positive electrode electrolyte particle). For example, they can be used as a solid electrolyte within the positive electrode active material layer. When the coated electrolyte particles are used to manufacture individual solid electrolyte membranes or positive electrode membranes, or to form a positive electrode layer on a substrate (e.g., a solid electrolyte membrane), and during the process of manufacturing a solid-state battery using a membrane sheet containing these coated electrolyte particles, the oxygen storage layer installed on the surface of the coated electrolyte particles can serve to protect the sulfide electrolyte. Furthermore, it can reduce or separate the decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte by oxygen in the air, thereby improving the chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte during the battery manufacturing process. This is advantageous for the sulfide electrolyte to fully perform its role of rapid ion conduction, which promotes stable operation of the solid-state battery and is beneficial for improving the discharge capacity and cycle performance of the sulfide solid-state battery. Furthermore, the oxygen storage layer installed on the surface of the coated electrolyte particles can reduce or separate direct contact between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture in the air, thereby suppressing the decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte and the generation of hydrogen sulfide gas, which is advantageous for improving the chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte. Therefore, by installing an oxygen storage layer on the surface of the sulfide electrolyte, the oxygen storage material within the layer can absorb and store oxygen, and by blocking direct contact between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture, superior air stability can be imparted to the coated electrolyte particles.
[0163] In some embodiments of the present application, a coated anode-active particle is provided. The coated anode-active particle is another coated particle of the present application, the particle body is an anode-active body, and the anode-active body comprises an anode-active material.
[0164] In this application, unless otherwise specified, a “coated anode active particle” comprises an anode active body and an oxygen storage layer located on at least a portion of the surface of the anode active body, wherein the anode active body comprises an anode active material and the oxygen storage layer comprises an oxygen storage material. Accordingly, the coated anode active particle is an anode active particle having an oxygen storage layer installed on its surface. Non-limitingly, a coated electrolyte particle may be obtained by coating an oxygen storage material onto an anode active particle that does not have an oxygen storage layer.
[0165] These coated positive active particles can provide a positive active material to the positive layer of a solid-state battery, that is, they can be used as positive active particles. In the case of solid-state batteries, positive electrolyte particles are generally installed on the positive active material layer of the positive layer to perform functions such as accelerating ion conduction, reducing interfacial impedance, and maximizing the capacity of the positive active particles. When the positive electrolyte particles are sulfide-based electrolytes, i.e., contain sulfide electrolytes, the oxygen storage layer installed on the surface of the coated positive active particles can absorb and store oxygen during the manufacturing process of the positive film, the positive layer of the solid-state battery, and the solid-state battery. This can reduce or prevent the erosion and decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte caused by oxygen in the air, thereby improving the chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte during the battery manufacturing process. This is advantageous for fully utilizing the role of rapid ion conduction of the sulfide electrolyte and reducing interfacial impedance, which can promote stable operation of the solid-state battery. Consequently, it is beneficial for improving the discharge capacity and cycle performance of the sulfide solid-state battery, and can also improve the scaling performance of the solid-state battery. Therefore, by installing an oxygen storage layer on the surface of the positive electrode active material, it can serve to protect the sulfide-based electrolyte used in combination with it, thereby improving the air stability of the positive electrode electrolyte particles and the positive electrode layer, which is advantageous for improving the aforementioned electrochemical performance of the solid-state battery.

By controlling at least one of the parameters among the weight ratio of the coated particles of the oxygen storage material and the thickness of the oxygen storage layer within the aforementioned range, it is advantageous not only to improve the stability of the sulfide electrolyte component involved in the solid-state battery manufacturing process, but also to fully perform the role of rapid ion conduction of the sulfide electrolyte and to reduce interfacial resistance.

[0188] In some embodiments, an oxygen storage material having an appropriate particle size (which may correspond to oxygen storage particles) is mixed with the particle body according to the required coating amount and heat-treated to obtain coated particles having a desired structure and chemical composition.

[0198] The oxygen storage material located in the oxygen storage layer may be particulate oxygen storage particles, and in this case, the specific surface area of the oxygen storage particles can be controlled by adjusting the particle size of the oxygen storage particles. When the particle size of the oxygen storage particles is controlled within the aforementioned range, it is advantageous to allow the oxygen storage particles to have a larger oxygen absorption surface, which is advantageous for the oxygen storage material to effectively perform its role of absorbing and storing oxygen, and also advantageous for it to perform its role of blocking moisture from the air.

D v N can be obtained from the volume cumulative distribution curve of the material particle size, and unless otherwise specified, the volume cumulative distribution curve accumulates from 0 on the smaller particle size side. D v 50 is used as an example for explanation. In this application, unless otherwise specified, D v 50 refers to the particle size corresponding when the cumulative volume distribution percentage of the material reaches 50%, and this parameter is D, where D is the particle size of the particles occupying 50% of the material volume. v The particle size of the particle occupying 50% of the material volume is 50 or less, and D v Indicates that it is greater than 50. A person with ordinary knowledge in this field D vThe meaning of 50 can be understood, and measurements can be taken using instruments and methods known in the field. For example, by referring to GB / T 19077-2016 Particle Size Distribution Laser Diffraction Method, measurements can be conveniently taken using laser particle size analyzers such as the Mastersizer 2000E laser particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments Co., Ltd., UK, or the LS-909 laser particle size analyzer (OMEC Instruments Co., Ltd.). Furthermore, for additional tests using instrument models such as the Malvern 2000 (MasterSizer 2000) laser particle size analyzer, the tests can be performed by referring to the standard procedure GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009.
[0201] In some embodiments, the particle size of the anode active body is 0.1 μm to 20 μm, optionally 1 μm to 10 μm, and may be a section composed of any one of the following dimensions or any two dimensions selected from below: 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.3 μm, 0.4 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, 5.5 μm, 6 μm, 6.5 μm, 7 μm, 7.5 μm, 8 μm, 8.5 μm, 9 μm, 9.5 μm, 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5μm, 12μm, 12.5μm, 13μm, 13.5μm, 14μm, 14.5μm, 15μm, 15.5μm, 16μm, 16.5μm, 17μm, 17.5μm, 18μm, 18.5μm, 19μm, 19.5μm, 20μm, etc.
[0202] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "particle size of the anode-active body" refers to the maximum diameter of the anode-active body in each direction.
[0203] In this application, the dimensions of a portion of the particle material, such as the "particle size of the anode active body" and the "particle size of the solid electrolyte body," may be tested and analyzed using particle structure and dimension analysis methods such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and may be analyzed in combination with elemental analysis methods.
[0204] In some embodiments, the coated anode-active particles satisfy at least one of the following features (any value parameter among the following features may be selected from any appropriate value or range in the context):
[0205] D of coated positively active particles v 50 is 0.1 μm to 20 μm, and optionally 1 μm to 10 μm—wherein, D v 50 indicates the corresponding particle size when the cumulative volume distribution percentage of the multi-particle mixture reaches 50%.
[0206] The particle size of the positively active body is 0.1 μm to 20 μm, and optionally 1 μm to 10 μm.
[0207] D of coated positively active particles v The dimensional size of the coated anode active particles can be controlled by controlling at least one of the particle size of 50 and the anode active body. D of the coated anode active particles vBy controlling at least one parameter of the particle size of the anode active body within the range described above, it is advantageous to improve the discharge capacity of the coated anode active particles and maintain good contact between the coated anode active particles and the sulfide-based electrolyte in the composite anode. The active ion transport pathways inside the coated anode active particles having smaller dimensions are shorter, which is advantageous for improving the discharge capacity of the coated anode active particles themselves; the coated anode active particles having larger dimensions can be better coated by the sulfide-based electrolyte and have better interfacial contact with the sulfide-based electrolyte, which is advantageous for the cycle performance of the battery. Coated anode active particles with relatively moderate dimensions can enable the battery to achieve both high discharge capacity and excellent cycle performance.
[0208] Oxide cathode active materials, such as lithium transition metal oxides, and furthermore, high-nickel cathode active materials, high-voltage lithium cobalt oxides, or lithium-rich manganese cathode active materials, have high operating voltages and high specific capacities. However, due to the electrochemical potential difference between the oxide cathode active material and the sulfide electrolyte, when these oxide cathode active materials come into direct contact with the sulfide electrolyte, elemental interdiffusion and chemical reactions occur spontaneously, creating a thicker interfacial impedance layer and increasing the interfacial impedance, which affects the performance of the solid-state battery. Additionally, if the cathode active material among the cathode active particles includes an oxide cathode active material (e.g., lithium transition metal oxide), the oxide cathode active material can release oxygen under high-voltage operating conditions (e.g., greater than 4.2V, and furthermore, charged to the high-voltage region during the initial cycle), which further attacks the sulfide solid electrolyte and causes decomposition of the sulfide solid electrolyte. When oxidative decomposition of sulfide solid electrolytes occurs, the interfacial impedance increases, which actually affects the development of discharge capacity and degrades the electrochemical performance of the battery.
[0209] In some embodiments, the anode active material among the coated anode active particles comprises an oxide anode active material. In some embodiments thereof, the oxide anode active material may comprise, but is not limited to, a lithium transition metal oxide.
[0210] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "oxide anode active material" has the meaning known in the art and refers to an anode active material in the form of an oxide.
[0211] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "lithium transition metal oxide" has the meaning known in the art and refers to an anode active material comprising a transition metal element and a lithium element. A lithium transition metal oxide is an oxide anode active material.
[0212] By installing the aforementioned solid battery material on a positive electrode active material layer containing an oxide positive electrode active material (e.g., lithium transition metal oxide), direct contact between the oxide positive electrode active material and the sulfide electrolyte can be prevented, and oxygen released from the positive electrode can be absorbed through an oxygen storage material to suppress the attack of the released oxygen on the sulfide electrolyte, thereby further reducing the oxidative decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte by oxygen, suppressing interfacial side reactions between the oxide positive electrode active material (e.g., lithium transition metal oxide) and the sulfide electrolyte, and suppressing the increase in interfacial impedance. This is advantageous for improving the stability of the sulfide electrolyte within the positive electrode layer during the cycling process of the sulfide solid battery, thereby maintaining excellent conductivity, allowing the ionic conduction of the sulfide electrolyte to be exerted over the long term, and allowing the capacity of the positive electrode active particles to be fully exerted, thereby providing excellent high voltage stability to the sulfide solid battery. Additionally, the sulfide solid battery can be made to have higher initial Coulomb efficiency, higher discharge capacity, higher magnification performance, and better cycle performance. In addition, after a specific concentration of oxygen is stored in the oxygen storage material, the partial pressure of oxygen on the surface of the anode active particles increases, further hindering the release of oxygen from the anode active particles, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the anode material.
[0213] In some embodiments, during the heat treatment process of the surface coating (e.g., 400°C to 600°C), the oxygen storage material can remove some crystal lattice oxygen from the positive active material and form oxygen vacancy sites on the surface of the positive active particle by coming into close contact with the positive material, and the oxygen vacancy sites on the surface of the positive active particle can promote electron and ion transport on the surface of the positive active particle, thereby further improving the electrochemical performance of the solid-state battery.
[0214] When the positive active material among the positive active particles includes an oxide positive active material (e.g., a lithium transition metal oxide), at least one parameter among the weight ratio of the coated particles of the oxygen storage material and the thickness of the oxygen storage layer can be controlled (e.g., the weight ratio of the coated particles of the oxygen storage material (e.g., coated positive active particles or coated electrolyte particles) can be controlled to 0.1 wt% to 10 wt%, optionally to 0.5 wt% to 5 wt%, and the thickness of the oxygen storage layer can be controlled to 0.1 nm to 50 nm, optionally to 0.5 nm to 10 nm), thereby allowing for the suppression of oxygen release and good interfacial ion transport to be considered together. This not only allows for the suppression of oxygen release and the improvement of the stability of the sulfide electrolyte to achieve good discharge capacity and cycle performance, but also allows for the full utilization of the discharge capacity of the positive layer by achieving good interfacial ion transport.
[0215] When the anode active material among the anode active particles includes an oxide anode active material (e.g., a lithium transition metal oxide), D of the coated anode active particles v By controlling at least one of the particle size of 50 and the anode active body, the amount of oxygen storage material in the oxygen storage layer relative to the anode active material contained within the anode active complement may also be indirectly controlled. D of the coated anode active particle v By controlling at least one parameter of the particle size of the anode active body within the range described above, the oxygen storage material is not only advantageous for providing sufficient oxygen absorption capacity, but also for improving the discharge capacity of the coated anode active particles and maintaining good contact between the coated anode active particles and the sulfide-based electrolyte in the composite anode.

The weight percentage of the oxide cathode active material (e.g., lithium transition metal oxide) in the cathode active body may be any one of the following weight percentages or an interval consisting of any two weight percentages selected from the following: 50 wt%, 55 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 70 wt%, 72 wt%, 74 wt%, 75 wt%, 76 wt%, 78 wt%, 80 wt%, 82 wt%, 84 wt%, 85 wt%, 86 wt%, 88 wt%, 90 wt%, 92 wt%, 94 wt%, 95 wt%, 96 wt%, 97 wt%, 98 wt%, 99 wt%, 100 wt%, etc.

When using such lithium transition metal oxides as the cathode active material among cathode active particles, installing the aforementioned solid battery material in the cathode active material layer is advantageous for considering both high energy density and long cycle performance of sulfide solid batteries under conditions where oxygen release from the cathode is possible.
[0232] When a solid battery material installed in a positive electrode active material layer includes the aforementioned coated positive electrode active particles, additionally, it is advantageous for suppressing oxygen release from the positive electrode material, improving the crystal structural stability of the positive electrode active particles during battery cycling, and suppressing the formation of surface rock salt phases, thereby enabling sufficient positive electrode capacity and improving the long-cycle performance of the battery.

[0243] By using the aforementioned solid-state battery material, sulfide electrolytes having a high ion transport rate can be used more flexibly in sulfide solid-state batteries, thereby significantly reducing the limitations on material selection for sulfide electrolytes.
[0244] In some embodiments, the sulfide electrolyte in the coated electrolyte particles may comprise at least one of a binary sulfide solid system and a ternary sulfide solid system. Non-limitingly, the binary sulfide solid system may comprise one or more of Li2S-P2S5, Li2S-SiS2, Li2S-GeS2, and Li2S-B2S3. Non-limitingly, the ternary sulfide solid system may comprise one or more of an argyrodite-type sulfide electrolyte, a Li2S-MeS2-P2S5-ternary sulfide electrolyte, a lithium germanium phosphulose-type sulfide electrolyte, a Li2S-P2S5-MS-ternary sulfide electrolyte, a Li2S-P2S5-MCl-ternary sulfide electrolyte, and a thio-LISICON-type sulfide electrolyte; Here, Me may include one or more elements among silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), and aluminum (Al), and furthermore may be selected from one or more elements among Si, Ge, Sn, and Al; and M may include one or more elements among Ge, Al, Sn, lead (Pb), antimony (Sb), Si, and arsenic (As), and furthermore may be selected from one or more elements among Ge, Al, Sn, Pb, Sb, Si, and As.

[0248] As a non-limiting example, the positive active material layer may exist in an independent positive film sheet or in the positive layer of a solid-state battery.
[0249] It can be understood that the positive active material layer provided in the second aspect of the present application comprises at least one of coated positive active particles and coated electrolyte particles. When this positive active material layer is applied to a sulfide solid-state battery, the probability of contact between the sulfide electrolyte and oxygen can be reduced by utilizing the oxygen absorption effect of the oxygen storage material in the oxygen storage layer, thereby improving the chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte during the battery manufacturing process. This is advantageous for fully utilizing the role of rapid ion conduction of the sulfide electrolyte, thereby promoting stable operation of the solid-state battery and improving the discharge capacity and cycle performance of the sulfide solid-state battery. Additionally, the oxygen storage layer installed on the surface of the coated electrolyte particles can reduce or separate direct contact between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture in the air, thereby suppressing the decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte and the generation of hydrogen sulfide gas, which is advantageous for improving the chemical stability of the sulfide electrolyte.
[0250] As previously defined, the positive active material layer comprises at least positive active particles, and the positive active particles comprise a positive active material.

Examples of lithium transition metal oxides may include, but are not limited to, one or more of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt oxide, lithium manganese cobalt oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, and modified compounds thereof. Non-limiting examples of lithium cobalt oxide may include LiCoO2; non-limiting examples of lithium nickel oxide may include LiNiO2; non-limiting examples of lithium manganese oxide may include LiMnO2, LiMn2O4, etc.; and non-limiting examples of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide may include LiNi 1 / 3 Co 1 / 3 Mn 1 / 3 O2 (NCM 333 It may also be abbreviated as), LiNi0 . 5Co0 . 2Mn0 . 3O2(NCM 523 It may also be abbreviated as), LiNi0 . 5Co0 . 25 Mn0 . 25 O2(NCM 211 (may be abbreviated as), LiNi0 . 6Co0 . 2Mn0 . 2O2(NCM 622 (may be abbreviated as), LiNi0 . 8Co0 . 1Mn0 . 102(NCM 811 It may include (which may be abbreviated as ). Non-limiting examples of lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide are LiNi0 . 80 Co0 . 15Al0 . 05 It may contain O2.
[0252] Taking a solid-state battery in which the active ion is a lithium ion as an example, it can be understood that the charging and discharging process of the battery involves the desorption and consumption of lithium (Li), and that the content of Li in the anode layer (including the anode film in the context) varies when the battery is discharged in different states. In the exemplary description of the anode active material of this application, unless otherwise specified, the content of Li may be the initial state of the material or the non-initial state after charge-discharge cycles. When the anode active material is applied to the anode layer of a solid-state battery system and undergoes charge-discharge cycles, the content of Li in the anode active material contained in the anode layer generally changes. Here, the content of Li may be quantified as an atomic molar content, but is not limited thereto. Regarding "the content of Li is the initial state of the material," the initial state of the material refers to the state before it is supplied to the anode layer. A new material or new substance obtained through appropriate modification based on the listed cathode active materials falls within the scope of the cathode active materials, and the aforementioned appropriate modification refers to an acceptable modification method for the cathode active materials, and it should be understood that non-limiting examples include, for instance, coating modification. In the exemplary description of the cathode active materials in this application, the oxygen (O) content is generally a theoretical state value, and crystal lattice oxygen emission changes the atomic molar content of oxygen, causing the actual O content to fluctuate. Here, the O content can be quantified as an atomic molar content, but is not limited thereto.
[0253] In some embodiments, except that the positive electrode active material comprises an oxide positive electrode active material (e.g., a lithium transition metal oxide), it may also comprise other positive electrode active materials known in the art that can be used as solid-state batteries. As a non-limiting example, other positive electrode active materials that can be used as solid-state batteries may comprise one or more materials selected from lithium-containing phosphates of an olivine structure and modified compounds thereof. However, the present application is not limited to these materials, and other conventional materials that can be used as positive electrode active materials for solid-state batteries may also be used. Such positive electrode active materials may be used individually or in combination of two or more types. Non-limiting examples of lithium-containing phosphates of an olivine structure may include, but are not limited to, one or more of lithium iron phosphate, lithium iron phosphate and carbon composite materials, lithium manganese phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate and carbon composite materials, lithium iron manganese phosphate, and lithium iron manganese phosphate and carbon composite materials. An example of lithium iron phosphate is, for example, LiFePO4 (which may be abbreviated as LFP). An example of lithium manganese phosphate is LiMnPO4.

The weight ratio of the coated anode active particles in the anode active material layer may be a range consisting of any one of the following weight percentages or any two weight percentages selected from below: 70 wt%, 72 wt%, 74 wt%, 75 wt%, 76 wt%, 78 wt%, 80 wt%, 82 wt%, 84 wt%, 85 wt%, 86 wt%, 88 wt%, 90 wt%, 92 wt%, 94 wt%, 95 wt%, 96 wt%, 97 wt%, 98 wt%, 99 wt%, etc.
[0257] In some embodiments, the anode electrolyte particles include a sulfide-based electrolyte.
[0258] The sulfide electrolyte contained in the sulfide-based electrolyte has excellent ion conductivity, and by installing the sulfide-based electrolyte in the anode layer, the charge transfer efficiency between the anode active material and the external environment and the sufficient release of its capacity can be better promoted.

[0489] The electrochemical performance of the positive electrode sheet and the corresponding all-solid-state battery was tested using a solid-state molded battery, and the test window of the battery is 2.8 to 4.3 V (based on lithium potential).
[0490] 1. Test of H2S emission from solid electrolyte materials
[0491] In a dew point environment of -55°C, 100 mg of electrolyte powder is uniformly plated in a 5 cm diameter Petri dish, and then the Petri dish containing the electrolyte powder is placed into a 50 L box through a sealed transfer box. The sealed transfer box of the Petri dish containing the electrolyte powder is quickly opened, and the 50 L box is sealed. A hydrogen sulfide sensor (PGM-2500) is installed in the box to record the cumulative value of hydrogen sulfide in real time within the 50 L box, and the reaction is allowed until the detection value of the hydrogen sulfide sensor no longer increases, which indicates that the electrolyte has completely reacted with water molecules within the box; at the same time, a fan with a blade diameter of 8 cm is installed in the box. Since the density of hydrogen sulfide is greater than that of air, the fan prevents the settling of hydrogen sulfide gas and ensures that the hydrogen sulfide gas within the 50 L box is uniformly distributed, thereby ensuring the reliability of the hydrogen sulfide gas concentration test. Before the test, a 50L box was placed in an environment with a relative humidity of 70%RH.

The detailed procedure is as follows: 120 mg of solid electrolyte powder was poured into a 10 mm diameter tablet mold and compressed into a dense circular sheet at 360 MPa; then, the solid electrolyte membrane sheet was clamped in the mold at 120 MPa using a 10 mm diameter cylindrical stainless steel current collector; subsequently, the current collector was connected to an electrochemical workstation, and a bias voltage of 10 mV, 10 Hz to 10 6 Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed on the solid electrolyte membrane sheet in the frequency range of Hz. The curve of the electrochemical impedance spectrum ranges from high to low frequencies, and the intersection point with the Z'-axis is recorded as the resistance value R, and the ionic conductivity can be calculated using formula (1):

[0497] You can refer to "amount of H2S released from coated electrolyte particles" in Table 4.
[0498] 3. Initial discharge capacity
[0499] The test procedure is as follows: The assembled all-solid-state battery was charged to 3.68V (4.3V based on lithium potential) at a current density of 0.1C and left for 10 minutes, and then discharged to 2.18V (2.8V based on lithium potential) at a current density of 0.1C to determine the initial discharge capacity of the battery. The battery was tested at 25±3°C, where 1C = 200mA / g.
[0500] You can refer to the "0.1C discharge capacity" in Table 3 and the "initial discharge capacity" in Table 4.
[0501] 4. Initial Coulombic Efficiency
[0502] The initial Coulomb efficiency of the battery can be calculated by dividing the initial discharge capacity obtained from testing at 0.1C by the initial charge capacity.
[0503] 5. Magnification Performance
[0504] The test procedure is as follows: the charge scale of the all-solid-state battery is fixed at 0.1C, then discharged at scales of 0.1C, 0.33C, 1C, 2C, and 3C, cycled three times for each scale, and the battery voltage test window is 2.8 to 4.3V vs. Li + / Li, and the battery was tested at 25±3°C, where 1C=200mA / g.
[0505] 6. Cycle Performance
[0506] The assembled all-solid-state battery was first subjected to three constant-current charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 0.1C to determine the initial discharge capacity and initial Coulomb efficiency. Subsequently, a long-cycle test was performed by cycling the battery 200 times at a current density of 0.33C to calculate the battery's cycle capacity retention rate. The battery voltage test window was 2.8 to 4.3V vs. Li + / Li, and the battery was tested at 25±3°C, where 1C=200mA / g.
