Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium battery, in particular to a solid-state polymer electrolyte, a preparation method thereof and a solid-state lithium metal battery. BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, commercial batteries use liquid electrolytes, which are flammable, and their high reactivity with positive and negative electrodes makes it difficult to match high-energy-density high-voltage positive materials and lithium metal negative electrodes. Polymer solid-state electrolytes, which can be designed through molecular structure, have the potential to meet the requirements of the next generation of lithium batteries for electrolytes in terms of ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability window, interface stability with electrodes, thermal stability, and processability.
[0003] Current research on polymer electrolyte materials includes polyethylene oxide, polyester, polyvinylidene fluoride, and polyacrylonitrile. However, it is still challenging to develop polymer electrolyte materials that simultaneously meet high ionic conductivity, high mechanical properties, high oxidation resistance, and low film thickness. Polyethylene oxide in a molten state has high ionic conductivity, but poor mechanical properties and poor oxidation resistance. Cui et al. used a porous polyimide film to fill polyethylene oxide / bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide lithium (PEO / LiTFSI) to prepare an electrolyte film with good mechanical properties and a thickness of less than 10 um, but it cannot match high-voltage positive materials. (Wan J, Xie J, Kong X, et al. Ultrathin, flexible, solid polymer composite electrolyte enabled with aligned nanoporous host for lithium batteries [J]. Nature Nano Technology, 2019, 14(7): 705.) Although polyacrylonitrile (PAN) has high oxidation resistance and mechanical properties, it is a semi-crystalline polymer at room temperature with low ionic conductivity. Zhang et al. prepared a PAN film with composite silica particles (SiO2) with a thickness of about 30 um, which has high ionic conductivity at room temperature and can match high-voltage positive materials. (Yao M, Ruan Q, Yu T, et al. Solid polymer electrolyte with in-situ generated fast Li +conductive network enable high voltage and dendrite-free lithium metal battery[J]. Energy Storage Materials, 2022, 44:93-103.) Zhang et al. reported that the room temperature ionic conductivity of poly(vinylidene difluoride)-based polymer electrolyte is in the order of 10 -4 S cm -1 and has good mechanical properties, strong oxidation resistance and large thickness (about 90 um). (Zhang X., Wang S., Xue C., et al. Self-Suppression of lithium dendrite in All-Solid-State lithium metal batteries with poly(vinylidene difluoride)-Based solid electrolytes[J]. Advanced Materials, 2019, 31(11): 1-9.) Therefore, the polymer electrolyte material in the prior art does not really solve the problem of poor comprehensive performance of the polymer electrolyte, and the preparation process is complex.
