Description

[0001] This application is application number 202110829108.1, filed on July 22, 2021, entitled "A divisional application of a sulfide solid electrolyte membrane and a solid lithium-ion battery". Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of lithium batteries, specifically to a sulfide solid electrolyte membrane and a solid lithium-ion battery. Background Technology

[0003] With the energy crisis and environmental protection requirements, new energy vehicles have received unprecedented attention. However, existing lithium-ion batteries, which use liquid electrolytes, do not yet fully meet safety requirements. In recent years, solid-state batteries using solid electrolytes have gained widespread attention due to their higher safety.

[0004] Existing solid-state electrolytes are mainly classified into three types: oxide solid-state electrolytes, sulfide solid-state electrolytes, and polymer solid-state electrolytes. Sulfide solid-state electrolytes are considered a material with broad industrial application prospects due to their high ionic conductivity. However, sulfide solid-state electrolyte membranes are difficult to form; the thickness of a pure sulfide solid-state electrolyte membrane is only about 0.5–1 mm. Excessive membrane thickness leads to excessively low volumetric energy density in the battery. Therefore, currently, sulfide solid-state electrolytes can only be used in laboratory-scale batteries, and their energy density is far lower than that of industrial liquid batteries.

[0005] In existing technologies, technicians have used methods such as pulsed laser deposition and vapor deposition to prepare corresponding solid electrolyte membranes, but these methods are costly and difficult to industrialize. Recent research results show that using sulfide solid electrolytes and polymer composites is an effective solution. Shuting Luo et al. prepared a solid electrolyte membrane with a thickness of 65 micrometers by compositing Li6PS5Cl and polyethylene oxide.

[0006] However, the aforementioned thickness still cannot fully meet the requirements for thinner and lighter solid-state lithium batteries. It is essential to find a thinner, higher-performance solid electrolyte membrane and apply it to lithium batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a sulfide solid electrolyte membrane and a solid lithium-ion battery.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a sulfide solid electrolyte membrane, the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane comprising a polymer membrane having a three-dimensional framework structure and a sulfide solid electrolyte material forming a continuous phase; the ionic conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane is >10. -4 S / cm, the thickness of the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane is ≤40μm.

[0010] In the method of this invention, the ionic conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane can be, for example, 5 × 10⁻⁶. -4 S / cm, 5.5×10 -4 S / cm, 6×10 -4 S / cm or 10 -3 S / cm, etc.; the thickness of the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane can be, for example, 40μm, 35μm, 30μm or 25μm, etc.

[0011] This invention utilizes a flexible polymer membrane as a supporting framework, with sulfides forming a continuous phase within the polymer membrane. This ensures the ionic conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane and significantly reduces its thickness.

[0012] The following are preferred technical solutions of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the technical solutions provided by the present invention.

[0065] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0066] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, a flexible polymer membrane is used as a framework support, and the sulfide forms a continuous phase in the polymer membrane, which ensures the ionic conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane and greatly reduces the thickness of the solid electrolyte membrane.

[0069] In one embodiment, the polymer membrane has a molecular structure of P(VDF-B), where B is selected from any one or a combination of at least two of trifluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, or methyl methacrylate. The mass fraction of the structural units based on VDF monomers in the polymer membrane is ≥50%, and the mass fraction of the structural units based on B monomers in the polymer membrane is ≤50%.

[0070] In one embodiment, the molecular structure of the polymer membrane is P(VDF-BA), where B is selected from any one or a combination of at least two of trifluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, or methyl methacrylate, and A is selected from any one or a combination of at least two of trifluorochloroethylene, 1,1-chlorofluoroethylene, or difluorochloroethylene. The mass fraction of the VDF-based structural units in the polymer membrane is ≥50%, the mass fraction of the A-based structural units in the polymer membrane is ≤20%, and the sum of the mass fractions of the A-based structural units and the B-based structural units in the polymer membrane is ≤50%.

[0071] In one embodiment, the polymer membrane has a molecular structure of P(VDF-TrFE), and the mass fraction of the TrFE monomer-based structural units in the polymer membrane is ≤50%.

[0072] The ionic conductivity is mainly provided by the sulfide solid electrolyte in the continuous phase. Therefore, as an implementation method, the present invention does not have special requirements on the molar ratio of each monomer in the raw materials for polymer membrane preparation.

[0073] In one embodiment, the raw materials for preparing the polymer membrane P (VDF-TrFE) have a VDF:TrFE (molar ratio) of 80%:20% to 50%:50%, such as 80%:20%, 75%:25%, 70%:30%, 65%:35%, 60%:40%, 55%:45%, or 50%:50%, etc.

[0074] In one embodiment, the raw materials for preparing the polymer membrane P (VDF-TrFE) have a VDF:TrFE (molar ratio) of 70%:30%.

[0075] As one implementation method, this application does not have special requirements for the molecular weight of the polymer, as long as the polymer can form a film normally and form a three-dimensional skeleton.

[0076] In one embodiment, the polymer membrane has an internal three-dimensional interconnected structure.

[0077] In one embodiment, the maximum pore size of the polymer film is 30 μm.

[0078] In one embodiment, the pore size D50 of the polymer membrane is 10 μm to 18 μm, and more preferably the pore size D90 of the polymer membrane is 10 μm to 18 μm.

It is only necessary to prepare a polymer skeleton that forms a three-dimensional network structure. The polymer skeleton needs to be able to accommodate sulfide solid electrolyte particles so that the sulfide solid electrolyte particles form a continuous phase in the three-dimensional network structure to provide a lithium conduction pathway.

[0080] In one embodiment, the mesh pores of the polymer film are non-directional.

[0082] Polymer membranes are prepared by electrospinning, forming a three-dimensional framework structure through fibers and making the mesh pores non-directional. This ensures good mechanical properties and facilitates the formation of a continuous phase of the sulfide solid electrolyte, thus better leveraging the advantage of improving the ionic conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane.

[0083] Since the difficulty in pressing into a film is a common problem for sulfide solid electrolytes, the embodiments of the present invention do not particularly limit the type of sulfide solid electrolyte. All sulfide solid electrolytes known in the prior art can be used in the present invention, including but not limited to Li2S-P2S5 and Li2S-P2S5-MS. x Li 3.4 Si 0.4 P 0.6 S4, Li 10 GeP2S 11.7 O 0.3 Li 9.6 P3S 12 Li7P3S 11 Li9P3S9O3, Li 10.35 Si 1.35 P 1.65 S 12 Li 9.81 Sn 0.81 P 2.19 S 12 Li 10 (Si 0.5 Ge 0.5 P2S 12 Li (Ge 0.5 Sn 0.5 P2S 12 Li(Si) 0.5 Sn 0.5 PS 12 Li 10 GeP2S 12 Li6PS5X, Li7P2S8I, Li 10.35 Ge 1.35P 1.65 S 12 Li 3.25 Ge 0.25 P 0.75 S4, Li 10 SnP2S 12 Li 10 SiP2S 12 Or Li 9.54 Si 1.74 P 1.44 S 11.7 C l0.3 Any one or at least two of the following, wherein M is selected from any one or at least two of Si, Ge or Sn, and X is selected from any one or at least two of Cl, Br or I, and 0≤x≤2.

More preferably, the particle size of the sulfide solid electrolyte particles is 50% to 70% of the maximum pore size of the polymer membrane, and most preferably 60%.

[0087] A suitable mesh size is beneficial for sulfide solid electrolyte particles to form a continuous phase by being infused into a polymer membrane as a solution; if the mesh size is too small, the sulfide solid electrolyte cannot be completely infused into the polymer, affecting the ionic conductivity of the final sulfide solid electrolyte membrane.

[0088] In one embodiment, the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane includes a lithium salt, which can effectively improve the ionic conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane.

[0089] In this invention, the type of lithium salt is not particularly limited. Any known lithium salt can be used in this invention without departing from the inventive concept of this application. Known lithium salts include inorganic lithium salts, organic lithium salts, or mixtures of inorganic and organic lithium salts.

[0109] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the polymer in the polymer precursor solution is P(VDF-TrFE).

[0110] In this embodiment of the invention, the solvent in the polymer precursor solution is not particularly limited, as long as it allows the polymer particles to dissolve uniformly. As one embodiment, it can be N,N-dimethylamide, acetone, ethanol, or ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, etc.

[0111] Generally, the concentration of the precursor solution, the electrospinning time, and the speed affect the thickness of the spun film. This invention does not impose specific limitations on the electrospinning process parameters, as long as the desired spun film is obtained.

[0117] During the electrospinning process, the presence of cations and anions in lithium salts affects the electric field of the spinning machine during polymer film formation, resulting in excessively high orientation of the mesh pores in the formed polymer film. Therefore, using an appropriate amount of lithium salt is beneficial.

[0118] Orientation refers to the fact that in polymer films, polymer fibers are arranged in a fixed direction to form a regular grid pattern.

[0119] In one embodiment, in step S1, the mesh pores of the polymer film are non-directional.

[0120] In a preferred embodiment, the particle size of the sulfide solid electrolyte particles is 50% to 70% of the maximum pore size of the polymer membrane, and most preferably 60%.

[0125] The thickness control refers to controlling the thickness of the polymer film after infusion with sulfide solid electrolyte within a specific thickness range, such as within 40 μm.

These two composite solid electrolyte membranes were then stacked and hot-pressed at 200°C and 10 MPa for 2 hours. All operations were performed under an argon atmosphere to obtain the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane.

[0166] The final sulfide solid electrolyte membrane had a thickness of 37 μm and an ionic conductivity of 1.2 mS / cm. -1 .

[0170] Figure 7 The image shows the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the Li6PS5Cl@P(VDF-TrFE) solid electrolyte membrane from Example 1.

[0171] Example 2

[0172] Compared with the preparation method of Example 1, in the preparation steps of P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane, the mass of P(VDF-TrFE) polymer particles is 0.6g. Figure 2(b) is a SEM image of the prepared P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane. The mesh pore size D50 of the obtained P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane is 1μm to 5μm. Other steps are the same as in Example 1.

[0173] The final sulfide solid electrolyte membrane had a thickness of 37 μm and an ionic conductivity of 1.01 × 10⁻⁶. -4 S / cm.

[0174] Example 3

[0175] Compared with the preparation method of Example 1, in the preparation steps of P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane, the mass of P(VDF-TrFE) polymer particles is 0.8g. Figure 2(c) is a SEM image of the prepared P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane. The mesh pore size D50 of the obtained P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane is 5μm to 10μm. Other steps are the same as in Example 1.

[0176] The final sulfide solid electrolyte membrane had a thickness of 37 μm and an ionic conductivity of 5.3 × 10⁻⁶. -4 S / cm.

[0177] Example 4

[0178] Compared with the preparation method of Example 1, in the preparation step of P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane, 0.6g of P(VDF-TrFE) polymer particles and 0.3g of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) are slowly dissolved in a mixed solvent of 3ml dimethylformamide (DMF) and 2ml acetone. The rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0179] Figure 3(a) is a SEM image of the P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane prepared in Example 4.

[0180] The resulting P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane has a certain degree of orientation, and it is difficult to inject the oriented electrospun membrane.

[0181] Example 5

[0182] Compared with the preparation method of Example 1, in the preparation step of P(VDF-TrFE) electrospun membrane, 1.0g of P(VDF-TrFE) polymer particles and 0.3g of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) are slowly dissolved in a mixed solvent of 3ml dimethylformamide (DMF) and 2ml acetone, and the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0191] Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were dissolved in a 1% (w / w) sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate solution, and sulfur was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran to form a protective solution. The protective solution was added to the multi-walled carbon nanotube solution, and the mixture was vigorously stirred. The suspension was separated and washed several times with distilled water to remove the sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate. The resulting sulfur-carbon nanotube composite was dried to obtain S@C composite particles, wherein the mass ratio of nano-sulfur to multi-walled carbon nanotubes was 6:4.

[0192] The synthesized S@C composite particles were mixed with Li6PS5Cl at a mass ratio of 4:6 in a ball mill and stirred at a stirring speed of 300 rpm for 1 h. The resulting product was used to prepare a positive electrode.

[0193] The above-mentioned positive electrode, together with the Li-In negative electrode and the Li6PS5Cl@P(VDF-TrFE) sulfide solid electrolyte membrane prepared in Example 1, are stacked to form an all-solid-state lithium-ion battery.

[0194] Example 8

[0195] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a Li6PS5Cl@C||Li6PS5Cl@P(VDF-TrFE)||Li-In battery, including the following steps:

[0196] Li6PS5Cl and multi-walled carbon nanotubes were mixed in a mass ratio of 7:3 and ball-milled at 100 rpm for one hour to obtain the product for preparing a positive electrode.

[0197] The above-mentioned positive electrode, together with the Li-In negative electrode and the Li6PS5Cl@P(VDF-TrFE) sulfide solid electrolyte membrane prepared in Example 1, are stacked to form an all-solid-state lithium-ion battery.

[0198] No significant degradation was observed in the battery after 180 cycles.

[0199] Example 9

[0200] This embodiment provides a method for preparing an NCM@LNO||Li6PS5Cl@P(VDF-TrFE)||Li-In battery, including the following steps:

[0201] Commercially available NCM811 particles were heated at 90°C for 12 hours before use. LiOC2H5 and Nb(OC2H5)5 were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol, and then NCM811 was added to the solution and stirred for 3 hours. The slurry was dried at 150°C for 12 hours and then heated at 400°C for 1 hour in an oxygen atmosphere to form LNO-coated NCM particles. The resulting product was used to prepare a positive electrode.

[0202] The above-mentioned positive electrode, together with the Li-In negative electrode and the Li6PS5Cl@P(VDF-TrFE) sulfide solid electrolyte membrane prepared in Example 1, are stacked to form an all-solid-state lithium-ion battery.

[0203] No significant degradation was observed in the battery after 1000 cycles.

[0204] Example 10

[0205] Li2S was used as the positive electrode active material, and everything else was the same as in Example 7.

[0206] No significant battery degradation was observed after 500 battery cycles.

[0207] Example 11

[0208] FeS2 was used as the positive electrode active material, and everything else was the same as in Example 7.

[0209] No significant battery degradation was observed after 500 battery cycles.

[0210] Comparative Example 1

[0211] Compared with Example 7, the difference is that the P(VDF-TrFE) sulfide solid electrolyte membrane is replaced with a pure Li6PS5Cl sulfide solid electrolyte membrane.

[0212] Combination Figures 2(a)-2(c) Examples 1-3 show that the thickness of sulfide solid electrolyte membranes obtained by infusing sulfide solid electrolyte particles onto P(VDF-TrFE) polymer membranes can all reach below 40 μm. However, when the mesh pore size of the polymer membrane is too small, the infusion effect is not ideal due to the particle size of the sulfide solid electrolyte particles themselves. Larger sulfide particles are difficult to completely infuse into the spinning web, resulting in lower ionic conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte membranes prepared in Examples 2-3. When the mesh pore size of the polymer membrane reaches 10 μm or more, the ionic conductivity is significantly improved.

[0213] Combining Figures 3(a) and 3(b), after adding lithium salt, the anionic and cation charges carried by the lithium salt itself will affect the electric field of the spinning machine during electrospinning, thereby causing the polymer electrospun membrane to form an oriented grid; when the lithium salt concentration is reduced, the grid orientation of the polymer electrospun membrane weakens.

[0214] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 The sulfide solid electrolyte membrane prepared in Example 1 has a thickness of 37 μm, and the surface of the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane is uniformly distributed. The particles are uniformly injected into the polymer membrane, and the particles completely cover the polymer membrane.

[0215] Figure 6 This is a comparison of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the Li6PS5Cl@PVDF solid electrolyte membrane and the PVDF membrane in Example 6. Figure 7 This is a comparison of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the Li6PS5Cl@P(VDF-TrFE) solid electrolyte membrane and the P(VDF-TrFE) membrane in Example 1. Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the solid electrolyte membrane formed by pure PVDF and sulfide solid electrolyte has the same NMR spectrum as pure PVDF, proving that there is no interaction between pure PVDF and sulfide solid electrolyte; while the solid electrolyte membrane formed by P(VDF-TrFE) and sulfide solid electrolyte has a different peak shape than pure P(VDF-TrFE), which shows that the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane has a strong interaction with P(VDF-TrFE) and is not a simple physical mixture.

[0216] Figure 5 The figures show the cycling performance of Example 7 and Comparative Example 1, where Li6PS5Cl@P(VDF-TrFe) corresponds to Example 7 and Li6PS5Cl corresponds to Comparative Example 1. Figure 5As can be seen from Example 7 and Comparative Example 1, the battery capacity decays faster when using a pure Li6PS5Cl sulfide solid electrolyte membrane. This is because the excessively thick sulfide solid electrolyte membrane prolongs the ion conduction path, making the battery interface problems worse during charging and discharging.

[0217] As can be seen from Examples 7-11, the sulfide solid electrolyte membrane involved in this application has good performance in a variety of batteries and has the advantage of wide application.
