[0002] Traditional lithium-ion batteries use an organic liquid electrolyte to transport lithium ions, but this can be prone to problems such as leakage and flatulence, and in severe cases, can even cause the battery to combust and explode, posing a safety hazard. Solid-state batteries replace organic liquid electrolytes with solid-state electrolytes, significantly improving battery safety. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, the positive and negative electrodes of solid-state batteries are composed of active material, a binder, a conductive agent, a solid electrolyte, and a current collector. Traditionally, solid-state batteries are manufactured by applying a solid electrolyte slurry to the positive and negative electrode surfaces, or by melting and hot-pressing the solid electrolyte into a film, which is then wound or laminated with the positive and negative electrode sheets. However, when the solid electrolyte slurry is applied to the positive and negative electrode surfaces and then dried, vapor escapes from the solid electrolyte coating, forming pores. During subsequent charge and discharge cycles, lithium dendrites can grow along these pores, causing a short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0045] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise defined, technical terms and professional words not explicitly described have the same meanings as those generally understood by those skilled in the art and are common knowledge. Methods not explicitly described are conventional methods known to those skilled in the art. The term "multiple" in the present invention means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0046] In the present invention, the technical features described in an open manner include closed technical solutions composed of the listed features, and also include open technical solutions containing the listed features.
[0047] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for manufacturing a composite electrode sheet, comprising the following steps:
[0048] S1, mixing electrode materials, binder, conductive agent and solvent to obtain slurry;
[0049] S2, coating the slurry on at least one surface of the current collector, drying and then rolling to obtain an electrode sheet;
[0050] S3, forming a solid electrolyte layer on the surface of the electrode sheet coated with the slurry by vacuum magnetron sputtering to obtain a composite electrode sheet;
[0051] The process conditions of the vacuum magnetron sputtering method in step S3 include a background vacuum degree of 5×10 -3 ~6×10 -3 Pa, sputtering gas pressure 0.3~0.7Pa, sputtering power 3.5~5.5kW.
[0052] Solid-state electrolytes are applied to electrodes using a traditional coating method to form a solid electrolyte layer. During drying, vapor escapes from the solid electrolyte layer, forming pores. During the subsequent charge and discharge process, lithium dendrites grow along these pores, causing a short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes. The size of lithium dendrites is closely related to factors such as the electrodes, electrolyte, and testing in solid-state batteries. They are typically in the μm range, for example, 3μm, 3.5μm, 5.0μm, 5.5μm, 5.8μm, 5.0μm, 5.2μm, 5.6μm, or 6.0μm. The solid electrolyte layer formed on the surface of the electrode sheet by vacuum magnetron sputtering in this application reduces the gap between crystals, makes the particles tightly bound and has no pores, and avoids the pores formed by the escape of steam from the solid electrolyte layer during drying. Therefore, in the subsequent charge and discharge process, the electrode sheet prepared by the preparation method of this application can effectively prevent the growth of lithium dendrites and avoid the occurrence of short circuit. At the same time, the crystal size of the solid electrolyte in the solid electrolyte layer can be controlled by the background vacuum, sputtering pressure and sputtering power, which can reduce the interface resistance between the composite electrode sheet and the solid electrolyte layer, and further improve the cycle performance of the solid-state battery.

[0173] Test Example 1 Electrochemical Performance Test
[0174] Use a battery internal resistance tester to test the internal resistance of the button cell.
[0175] The capacity of the button cell is tested under a current density of 0.5C. Gram capacity = capacity of the button cell / weight of the electrode active material.
[0176] The coin cell was charged and discharged for 50 cycles at a current density of 0.5C to test its cycling performance. The results are shown in Table 1. The gram capacity in Table 1 refers to the discharge gram capacity.
[0177] Table 1
[0178]
[0179] From Example 1 to Example 3, it can be seen that when the sputtering pressure increases from 0.3 Pa to 0.5 Pa, the first-week gram capacity of the positive electrode active material increases from 181.37 mAh / g to 189.34 mAh / g, and the gram capacity retention rate after 50 cycles increases from 92.00% to 95.98%. This is because as the sputtering pressure increases, the crystal size of the solid electrolyte in the solid electrolyte layer increases, reducing the side reactions between the solid electrolyte crystals and the positive and negative active materials; from Example 3 to Example 5, it can be seen that when the sputtering pressure increases from 0.5 Pa to 0.7 Pa, the first-week gram capacity of the positive electrode active material decreases from 189.34 mAh / g to 185.90 mAh / g, and the gram capacity retention rate after 50 cycles decreases from 95.98% to 94.19%. This is because as the crystal size continues to increase, the gap between the solid electrolyte crystals increases, thereby increasing the interface resistance; Comparative Examples 6 and 7 further verify these two trends.
[0180] It can be seen from Example 6, Example 7, and Example 3 that the sputtering power is increased from 3.5kW to 5.5kW, the size of the solid electrolyte crystals is increased, and the side reactions between the solid electrolyte crystals and the positive and negative active materials are reduced. The first-week gram capacity of the positive electrode active material is increased from 184.95mAh / g to 189.34mAh / g, and the gram capacity retention rate after 50 cycles is increased from 93.87% to 95.98%. Comparative Example 4 further verifies this trend. Comparative Example 5 further verifies that the sputtering power is increased. Compared with Example 3, the first-week gram capacity of the positive electrode active material is slightly decreased from 189.34mAh / g to 188.52mAh / g, and the gram capacity retention rate after 50 cycles is slightly decreased from 95.98% to 95.58%, indicating that the crystal size continues to increase, which is not conducive to the gram capacity and battery cycle performance.
[0181] It can be seen from Examples 9, 8 and 3 that the background vacuum is 6×10 -5 Pa increased to 5.0×10 - 5Pa, the first-week gram capacity of the positive electrode active material increased from 185.82 mAh / g to 189.34 mAh / g, and the gram capacity retention rate after 50 cycles increased from 94.37% to 95.98%. This is because after the background vacuum degree is improved, the crystals of the solid electrolyte in the solid electrolyte layer are more tightly bonded, reducing the internal resistance of the solid electrolyte layer. Comparative Example 9 further verifies this trend; Comparative Example 8 further improves the background vacuum degree to 3.0×10 -5 Pa, the first-week gram capacity improvement of the positive electrode active material is no longer obvious.
[0182] The composite positive electrode sheet and the composite negative electrode sheet of Comparative Example 1 are both coated with a solid electrolyte wet method. The interface resistance between the solid electrolyte crystals and between the solid electrolyte and the positive and negative electrode materials is large, so the first-week gram capacity, cycle performance, and cycle internal resistance increase rate of the positive electrode active material are not as good as those of Example 3 in which the solid electrolyte is coated by magnetron sputtering.
[0183] The composite positive electrode sheet of Comparative Example 2 is coated with a solid electrolyte by wet coating, and the composite negative electrode sheet is coated with a solid electrolyte by magnetron sputtering; the composite positive electrode sheet of Comparative Example 3 is coated with a solid electrolyte by magnetron sputtering, and the composite negative electrode sheet is coated with a solid electrolyte by wet coating. The first-week gram capacity, cycle performance, and cycle internal resistance increase rate of the positive electrode active material of these two methods are better than those of Comparative Example 1, but not as good as Example 3 in which the solid electrolyte is coated by magnetron sputtering.
[0184] The coin cell was charged and discharged at a current density of 0.5C, and the number of cycles required to achieve an 80% capacity retention rate was measured. When the coin cell reached an 80% capacity retention rate after repeated charge and discharge cycles, it was disassembled and inspected for the presence of lithium dendrites and powdery material on the surface of the composite negative electrode sheet. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0185] Table 2
[0186]
[0187] The composite negative electrode sheets of Comparative Examples 1 and 3 were coated with a solid electrolyte wet method. Disassembly of the batteries revealed the presence of powdery lithium dendrites on the surfaces of both composite negative electrode sheets. This was due to the solid electrolyte wet coating method used in Comparative Example 1, which allowed lithium dendrites to penetrate the solid electrolyte layer on the positive electrode sheet, leading to battery failure after approximately 320 cycles.
