A sulfide solid electrolyte is incorporated into the positive electrode active layer, and a composite binder of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is used.

Simultaneously, this application uses a composite binder of PTFE and SBR to construct a three-dimensional network of adsorption between the positive electrode active material and PTFE, adsorption between PTFE and SBR, and adsorption between SBR and the positive electrode current collector. This improves the adhesion between the positive electrode active layer and the positive electrode current collector, thereby increasing the electron transport speed within the electrode sheet and reducing the internal resistance of the dry-process electrode sheet. Furthermore, the spraying, heating softening, and rolling processes of this application are all continuous processes, enabling continuous industrial production.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy technology, specifically to a dry electrode sheet containing a solid electrolyte, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to liquid lithium-ion batteries, all-solid-state batteries offer superior safety performance due to their use of solid-state electrolytes. There are many types of solid-state electrolytes, among which sulfide solid-state electrolytes possess advantages such as strong ionic conductivity, good safety performance, good thermal stability, and a wide electrochemical stability window, making them an important research direction for solid-state battery electrolytes.

[0003] Traditional lithium-ion battery electrode sheets are coated using a wet coating method, which involves dissolving the conductive agent, active material, and binder in an organic solvent. However, sulfide solid electrolytes are unstable in most solvents, resulting in a decrease in their ionic conductivity.

[0004] Due to the instability of sulfide solid electrolytes with solvents, solvents cannot be used when sulfides are used as electrolytes. However, in dry processes for electrode fabrication without solvents, there is a problem of poor interfacial adhesion between the active material and the current collector. Methods to increase adhesion include coating the current collector surface with an adhesive layer or adding other additives; however, this affects the interfacial contact between the active material and the current collector, thus hindering electron transport within the cell, increasing internal resistance, and affecting the cell's cycle life.

The dry electrode sheet containing solid electrolyte can significantly enhance the adhesion between the positive current collector and the positive active layer attached to the positive current collector without coating with a glue layer or adding other additives.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A dry-process electrode sheet containing a solid electrolyte includes a positive current collector and a positive active layer attached to the positive current collector. The positive active layer includes a positive active material, a sulfide solid electrolyte, a conductive agent, and a composite binder.

The composite binder comprises polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) in a mass ratio of (1–5):1.

[0013] This invention also provides a method for preparing a dry electrode sheet containing a solid electrolyte, comprising the following steps:

[0014] The positive electrode active material, sulfide solid electrolyte, conductive agent and composite binder are mixed and ball-milled to prepare the powder.

[0015] The powder is sprayed onto the surface of the positive electrode current collector to prepare a powder-sprayed positive electrode sheet;

[0019] In one embodiment, the temperature at which the powder-coated positive electrode sheet is heated and softened is 150–250°C.
