[0162] Application Example

[0163] The polyurethane-based composite solid electrolytes prepared in Examples 1-7 were respectively processed into electrolyte membrane samples 1-7 with a thickness of 80 μm.

[0164] Application Comparative Example

[0165] The polyurethane-based composite solid electrolytes prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 were respectively processed into electrolyte membrane samples 8-10 with a thickness of 80 μm.

[0166] Samples 1-10 were respectively subjected to ionic conductivity tests and mechanical strength tests at 25 °C and 60 °C. Ionic conductivity test method: In the glove box, the above electrolyte membrane samples (Φ18 mm) were assembled with the positive electrode sheet (Φ15 mm) and the lithium sheet (Φ15 mm) into a solid-state battery. Electrochemical impedance tests were respectively carried out at 25 °C and 60 °C in the frequency range of 1 Hz to 8 MHz. According to the measured electrolyte impedance and formula (1), the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte was calculated.

[0167] σ = l / RS Formula (1);

[0168] where σ is the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte; l is the thickness of the electrolyte membrane; R is the bulk impedance of the electrolyte measured by the electrochemical impedance method; S is the contact area between the electrolyte and the lithium sheet.

[0169] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0170] Table 1

[0171]

[0172]

[0173] As can be seen from Table 1, the electrolyte membranes prepared in Examples 1-7 have higher ionic conductivities at 25 °C and 60 °C than those in Comparative Examples 1-4, and excellent mechanical strength. In the electrolyte membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1, since it does not contain perfluoroalkyl groups, the dissociation degree of the lithium salt is weak. Therefore, its ionic conductivity at 25 °C and 60 °C is much lower than that of the electrolyte membranes prepared in the examples. Moreover, the inorganic solid electrolyte was not modified. After mixing polyurethane, inorganic solid electrolyte and lithium salt, the obtained polyurethane-based composite solid electrolyte is only a physical combination of the components without chemical bonding, resulting in poor mechanical strength of the electrolyte membrane. In the electrolyte membrane prepared in Comparative Example 2, 1,4-butanediol was used as the chain extender, and the dissociation degree of the lithium salt is far less than that in Example 1. Therefore, its ionic conductivity at 25 °C and 60 °C is low. In the electrolyte membrane prepared in Comparative Example 3, since the inorganic solid electrolyte was not modified, the chemical bonding with other components is weak, resulting in low mechanical strength of the electrolyte membrane and its ionic conductivity is also lower than that in the examples.

[0174] The cyclic performance tests were carried out on Sample 1 and Sample 8. Cyclic performance test method: Under the condition of 25 °C, the solid-state battery was charged at a constant current of 0.33C from 3.0V to 4.2V, then left standing for 5 minutes, and then charged at a constant voltage of 4.2V until the cut-off current of 0.02C, and finally discharged at a rate of 0.33C to 3.0V, and finally left standing for 5 minutes. Cycle 50 - 200 times in this way, and the test results are as Figure 1 shown.

[0175] According to Figure 1 it can be seen that the electrolyte membrane prepared in Example 1 has excellent cyclic stability. It can still maintain about 97% of the capacitance after about 100 cycles of cyclic testing, about 94% of the capacitance after about 150 cycles of cyclic testing, and the capacitance only begins to decrease slowly after more than 150 cycles of cyclic testing. In the cyclic testing of the electrolyte membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1, the capacitance decreased significantly. The capacitance dropped to about 80% after about 50 cycles of cyclic testing, and the cyclic stability is poor.

For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
