Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery technology, and relates to an all-solid-state electrode layer, and more particularly to a self-healing all-solid-state sulfidation electrode layer, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries that primarily rely on the movement of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes to achieve charging and discharging. The applications of lithium-ion batteries have gradually expanded from consumer electronics and power tools to emerging fields such as new energy electric vehicles, electric ships, electric aircraft, and robotics. These fields not only require lithium-ion batteries to have greater capacity but also place increasingly higher demands on their energy density.

[0003] Liquid batteries suffer from drawbacks such as continuous SEI layer growth, transition metal dissolution, oxygen evolution in the cathode material, electrolyte oxidation, lithium plating, high-temperature failure, and volume expansion. Solid-state batteries can simultaneously address these drawbacks. The interface contact in solid-state batteries is primarily a solid-solid interface, and ensuring good interface contact is crucial for battery performance. However, the immense pressure during solid-state battery use, coupled with significant deformation of the positive and negative electrode materials, can cause the electrode layers to tear due to the alternating tension and relaxation, leading to electrode layer fracture and irreversible capacity loss in both the positive and negative electrodes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-healing all-solid-state sulfurized electrode layer, its preparation method, and its application. The self-healing all-solid-state sulfurized electrode layer has self-healing properties, which can avoid the danger caused by cracking of the solid electrolyte layer; and the obtained self-healing all-solid-state sulfurized electrode layer has excellent electrochemical performance.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a self-healing all-solid-state sulfidation electrode layer, the self-healing all-solid-state sulfidation electrode layer comprising a conductive substrate and a solid electrolyte layer disposed on the conductive substrate;

[0007] The pores of the solid electrolyte layer are filled with polyethyleneimine and polyvinylpyrrolidone.

[0008] The conductive substrate of the present invention includes at least one of copper foil, aluminum foil, carbon-coated aluminum foil, or stainless steel foil.

[0009] Because the electrolyte particles in the solid electrolyte layer have irregular morphologies, traditional dry or wet methods struggle to ensure close contact between the electrolyte particles and the cathode particles. This invention fills the pores of the solid electrolyte layer with polyethyleneimine (PEI) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). PEI and PVP can ensure the self-healing properties of the electrode layer through hydrogen bonding, thus eliminating the risk of cracking in the solid electrolyte layer.

[0010] The number average molecular weight of the polyethyleneimine described in this invention is from 20,000 to 100,000, for example, it can be 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 80,000, 90,000 or 100,000, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable, preferably 40,000 to 60,000.

[0011] The number average molecular weight of the polyvinylpyrrolidone described in this invention is from 1,000 to 500,000, for example, it can be 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, 80,000, 100,000, 150,000, 200,000, 250,000, 300,000, 350,000, 400,000, 450,000, or 500,000, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0012] Preferably, the molar ratio of polyethyleneimine to polyvinylpyrrolidone is 1.8:1 to 2.4:1, for example, it can be 1.8:1, 1.9:1, 2:1, 2.1:1, 2.2:1, 2.3:1 or 2.4:1, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0013] Preferably, the porosity of the solid electrolyte layer is 5% to 6.5%, for example, it can be 5%, 5.1%, 5.2%, 5.3%, 5.4%, 5.5%, 5.6%, 5.7%, 5.8%, 5.9%, 6%, 6.1%, 6.2%, 6.3%, 6.4% or 6.5%, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0014] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a self-healing all-solid-state sulfide electrode layer as described in the first aspect, the method comprising the following steps:

[0015] An electrolyte layer containing polyethyleneimine and polyvinylpyrrolidone is cast into the pores and then subjected to hot pressing to obtain the self-healing all-solid-state sulfurized electrode layer.

[0016] Due to the irregular morphology of electrolyte particles, conventional dry and wet methods for preparing electrode layers often fail to ensure close contact between the electrolyte and positive electrode particles. This invention addresses this by using PEI and PVP, casting them into the pores of the electrolyte layer's framework. The hydrogen bonding between PEI and PVP ensures the material's self-healing properties. Post-casting hot-pressing further guarantees the integrity and film-forming properties of the resulting self-healing, all-solid-state sulfurized electrode layer.

[0017] The preparation method of the present invention is carried out in an argon-filled glove box with water ≤0.1ppm, oxygen ≤0.1ppm and carbon dioxide ≤0.1ppm; the water content of the materials used in the preparation method is ≤10ppm.

[0018] Preferably, the casting process includes the following steps: casting with an alcoholic solution of polyethyleneimine and polyvinylpyrrolidone, followed by vacuum drying to remove the alcohol solvent.

[0021] When the solid content of the alcohol solution is too low, the content of polyethyleneimine and polyvinylpyrrolidone in the solid electrolyte layer is low, and the relative solvent content is too high. The porosity of the resulting solid electrolyte layer is large, which is not conducive to electron and ion conduction. When the solid content of the alcohol solution is high, the alcohol solution is too viscous, making casting more difficult.

[0022] The volume of the alcohol solution used during casting according to the present invention is the pore volume in the electrolyte layer, which is obtained by multiplying the volume of the electrolyte layer by its porosity.

[0118] As shown in Tables 3 and 6, by filling the pores of the solid electrolyte layer with polyethyleneimine and polyvinylpyrrolidone, the resulting self-healing all-solid-state sulfurized electrode layer has both good cycle performance and rate performance, as well as good self-healing performance.

[0119] As shown in Table 4, when the molar ratio of polyethyleneimine to polyvinylpyrrolidone deviates from the range of 1.8:1 to 2.4:1, the cycle performance and rate performance of the obtained self-healing all-solid-state sulfurized electrode layer decrease slightly, and the self-healing time is longer.

[0120] As shown in Table 5, when SeS2 is used as an inorganic pore-forming agent in the preparation of the self-healing all-solid-state sulfurized electrode layer of the present invention, it can shorten the self-healing time of the self-healing all-solid-state sulfurized electrode layer and has excellent cycle performance and rate performance.

[0121] In summary, the self-healing all-solid-state sulfided electrode layer provided by this invention, through the synergistic use of polyethyleneimine and polyvinylpyrrolidone, can utilize the hydrogen bonding between polyethyleneimine and polyvinylpyrrolidone to ensure the self-healing property of the electrode layer, thus solving the risk of cracking of the solid electrolyte layer. This results in a self-healing all-solid-state sulfided electrode layer with good cycle capacity retention, high rate performance, and a short self-healing time.

[0122] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
