[0036] The application provides a preparation process of an oxide solid-state battery, which comprises the following steps:

[0037] 1) preparing materials for the solid-state battery; the materials for the solid-state battery include positive electrode materials, electrolyte materials, negative electrode materials and pore-forming materials; wherein the positive electrode materials can be lithium manganate, lithium cobaltate, lithium iron phosphate, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum acid or nickel cobalt manganese acid; the electrolyte materials can be Li 6.4 Ga 0.2 La3Zr2O 12 、Li 6.55 Ga 0.15 La3Zr2O 12 、Li 6.4 La3Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 、Li 6.6 La3Zr 1.8 Mo 0.2 O 12 、Li 6.4 La3Zr 1.7 W 0.3 O 12 、Li7La3Zr 1.75 Ta 0.25 Ga 0.2 O 12 and other garnet-type oxide solid-state electrolytes. The pore-forming materials can be paraffin powder, polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP or polyoxymethylene POM; and the negative electrode materials are metal lithium or lithium alloy.

[0038] 2) The cathode material, electrolyte material, and pore-forming material are prepared into nanoscale raw material powders. The specific preparation process is as follows: the cathode material and electrolyte material are added separately into a ball mill, and high-hardness grinding balls are used to crush them in the ball mill, so that the cathode material and electrolyte material become nanoscale raw materials that can be used by the material spraying forming equipment. After screening, they are loaded into the forming equipment. At the same time, the pore-forming material is also nanoscaled so that it can be used by the material spraying forming equipment. The pore-forming material is a material with a certain supporting strength and can completely eliminate any pores left at high temperatures.

[0039] 3) The nanoscale raw material powder prepared in step 2) is printed layer by layer to form a composite structure of positive electrode layer-positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer-electrolyte layer, specifically:

[0040] 3.1) Using the current collector as a substrate, nanoscale positive electrode material is sprayed onto the current collector according to the material spraying forming process to form positive electrode layer 4;

[0041] 3.2) Using the positive electrode layer 4 as a substrate, nanoscale positive electrode material and nanoscale electrolyte material are sprayed onto the positive electrode layer 4 layer by layer according to the material spraying forming process, forming a positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3 on the positive electrode layer 4; the positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3 includes multiple transition layers. Along the direction from the positive electrode layer 4 to the positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3, the amount of nanoscale positive electrode material used in each transition layer decreases sequentially, and the amount of nanoscale electrolyte material used in each transition layer increases sequentially. Among them, a certain material in each transition layer is connected to the same material in the adjacent transition layer.

[0042] 3.3) Using the positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3 as a substrate, nanoscale electrolyte material and nanoscale pore-forming material are sprayed onto the positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3 as needed using a material spraying forming process, ultimately forming a composite structure of positive electrode layer-positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer-electrolyte layer, specifically:

[0043] 3.3.1) Using the positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3 as a substrate, nanoscale electrolyte material is sprayed onto the positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3 according to the material spraying forming process to form a basic electrolyte layer;

[0044] 3.3.2) Using the basic electrolyte layer as a substrate, and following a material spraying process, different nozzles are used to spray nanoscale electrolyte material and nanoscale pore-forming material layer by layer onto the basic electrolyte layer, forming an electrolyte layer containing pore-forming material; as shown in... Figure 2 For example, the process is explained as follows: In Figure 2The small squares represent nozzle resolution, and the large square represents the current printing layer cross-sectional area. Assuming two nozzles are used, the two nozzles respectively spray nanoscale electrolyte materials and nanoscale pore-forming materials, and the two nozzles are arranged in parallel and work simultaneously. Figure 2 For example, from left to right, the two nozzles work for the first time, respectively in the first row and the second column (i.e., the two nozzles are respectively placed in the first small square and the second small square in the first row), and after spraying the corresponding nanomaterials in the two small squares, the two nozzles are translated so that the two nozzles are respectively in the third column and the fourth column in the first row (i.e., the two nozzles are respectively placed in the third small square and the fourth small square in the first row), and the spraying work is carried out in the third small square and the fourth small square. This is the second time, and the step is repeated until the first row is printed. Continue to repeat the above steps until the printing of the second row, the printing of the third row, and so on, and finally complete the printing of the entire large square. This process is the formation of the first printing layer. Continue to repeat the above content to complete the formation of the second printing layer, the formation of the third printing layer, and so on, until the electrolyte layer containing the pore-forming material is formed. Since the spraying process is completed sequentially, the three-dimensional structure of the electrolyte layer containing the pore-forming material finally formed is as shown in Figure 3 .

[0045] The base electrolyte layer and the electrolyte layer containing the pore-forming material form the electrolyte layer 2 as a whole; the positive electrode layer 4, the positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3, and the electrolyte layer 2 finally form the composite structure of positive electrode layer-positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer-electrolyte layer.

[0046] It should be noted that when the above spraying (layer-by-layer printing) is carried out according to the material spraying forming process, the thickness of each functional layer (the positive electrode layer 4, the positive electrode and negative electrode transition layer 3, and the electrolyte layer 2) is adjusted according to the thickness of each functional layer of the oxide solid-state battery to ensure that the number of printed layers of each functional layer of the oxide solid-state battery is an integer, so as to avoid the case that a certain printing layer crosses different functional layers, thereby affecting the size accuracy of each functional layer of the battery. The distribution rule of the material used in the positive electrode and negative electrode transition layer 3 is that the material is evenly distributed by the change space of 0-100% according to the multiple relationship between the thickness of the positive electrode and negative electrode transition layer 3 and the thickness of the transition layer. The proportion of different materials in the layer is realized by controlling the proportion of each material in the total number of layer cross-sectional area division according to the nozzle resolution. When the materials are distributed, each material is discrete and uniform, and the same material is connected between layers; the printing at the micropore a on the electrolyte layer 2 is filled with the pore-forming material.

[0047] 4) Heat pressing and sintering the composite structure of the positive electrode layer-positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer-electrolyte layer prepared in step 3) to form a sintered body, specifically:

[0048] 4.1) Designing the hot-press sintering temperature according to the melting point of the positive electrode material, the melting point of the electrolyte material and the melting point of the pore-forming material; the hot-press sintering temperature is T, the melting point of the positive electrode material is T 正 , the melting point of the electrolyte material is T 电 , and the melting point of the pore-forming material is T 造 ; T 正 > T > T 造 ; T 电 > T > T 造 ;

[0049] 4.2) Hot-press sintering the composite structure of the positive electrode layer-positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer-electrolyte layer prepared in step 3) using the hot-press sintering temperature T, since the hot-press sintering temperature T is higher than the melting point T 造 of the pore-forming material, the pore-forming material in the electrolyte layer 2 can be removed in the process of hot-press sintering, at the same time, the micropores a are formed in the electrolyte layer 2, and a sintered body is formed, which is completely densified except for the micropores a, and the roughness Ra of the contact surface between the electrolyte layer 2 and the negative electrode layer 1 on the sintered body is 5-20.

[0050] 5) Introducing the negative electrode material to the electrolyte layer of the sintered body prepared in step 4) to form an oxide solid-state battery, and the introduction mode can be extrusion forming, liquid injection and coating, etc. For example, the present application adopts lithium melting method, which is beneficial to the filling and combination of the rough interface. The specific way of the introduction operation is:

[0051] 5.1) Preheating the sintered body, and the preheating temperature is 150-180℃;

[0052] 5.2) Introducing the negative electrode material to the electrolyte layer of the sintered body using the lithium melting method with the sintered body as the substrate, and finally forming an oxide solid-state battery.

[0053] The present application not only provides a preparation process of an oxide solid-state battery, but also provides an oxide solid-state battery prepared based on the preparation process. Referring to Figure 1 , the oxide solid-state battery includes a positive electrode layer 4, a positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3, an electrolyte layer 2 and a negative electrode layer 1, which are four layers in total. The positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3 is a gradient material layer gradually transitioning from the positive electrode material to the electrolyte material; the electrolyte layer 2 has a certain thickness of micropores a with sharp corners facing the negative electrode layer 1 on the side close to the negative electrode layer 1, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0054] Based on the above preparation process, the oxide solid-state battery obtained by the present application includes a negative electrode layer 1, an electrolyte layer 2, a positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3 and a positive electrode layer 4, and the structure is as shown in Figure 1As shown in the figure; wherein the negative electrode layer 1, the electrolyte layer 2 and the positive electrode and electrolyte transition layer 3 are sequentially formed on the positive electrode layer 4 from bottom to top; preferably, the electrolyte layer 2 contains micro-holes a structure; the micro-holes a are multiple, and the multiple micro-holes a are uniformly filled in the electrolyte layer 2; preferably, the micro-holes a are in the shape of water droplets or pyramids as a whole; the sharp corners of the micro-holes a are directed towards the negative electrode layer 1; preferably, the contact surface between the electrolyte layer 2 and the negative electrode layer 1 is a non-smooth surface; preferably, the roughness Ra of the contact surface between the electrolyte layer 2 and the negative electrode layer 1 is 5-20.
