[0116] The obtained powder-sprayed positive electrode sheet is placed in a high-temperature furnace for heating and softening. The heating temperature is set to 200 ℃, and the heating time is 5 min. Through high-temperature softening of polytetrafluoroethylene and butadiene-styrene rubber, LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O2, graphene, and Li2S-P2S5 solid-state electrolyte are adsorbed on the aluminum foil. After heating and softening of the powder-sprayed positive electrode sheet, a 133 μm positive electrode sheet is obtained through a rolling process. During the rolling process, the rolling pressure is 90 T, and the rolling speed is 50 m / min.

The cell is sealed, and the battery is statically placed at 45 ℃ for 24 h and then at 60 ℃ for 24 h, to complete the in-situ polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane.

[0139] Table 1 Preparation materials of solid-state batteries

[0140]

[0141]

[0142] Electrochemical performance test

[0143] The internal resistance of the button cell was tested by a battery internal resistance tester; the capacity of the button cell was tested under a current density of 0.5 C, and the specific capacity = the capacity of the button cell / the weight of the electrode material; the cycle performance of the button cell was tested by 50 cycles of charge and discharge under a current density of 0.5 C. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0144] Table 2 Performance test results of solid-state batteries

[0145]

[0146]

[0147] Comparative Example 1 differs from Examples 1-7 in that no monomer of the organic polymer is added. The electrochemical performance test results show that the specific capacity of Comparative Example 1 is the lowest, and the internal resistance is the highest; the specific capacity retention rate after 50 cycles is lower than that of Examples 1-7, and the internal resistance growth rate is also higher than that of Examples 1-7. This shows that filling the organic polymer in the interstice of the oxide or sulfide can effectively improve the specific capacity of the solid-state battery and reduce the internal resistance of the battery; and a high specific capacity and a low internal resistance can also be maintained during use.

[0148] From Examples 1-4, when the mass ratio of the oxide and sulfide solid-state electrolyte particles to the monomer of the organic polymer is 1:(0.1-0.4), the specific capacity of the battery increases and the resistance decreases with the increase of the mass of the organic polymer; the reason is that the organic polymer gradually fills the pores between the solid-state electrolyte particles, and the interface resistance gradually disappears.

[0149] From Examples 5-6, when the mass ratio of the oxide and sulfide solid-state electrolyte particles to the monomer of the organic polymer reaches 1:(0.5-0.6), the internal resistance of the battery has a rising trend, and the specific capacity of the positive active material has a decreasing trend; the reason is that the excessive addition of the organic polymer reduces the overall ionic conductivity of the electrolyte.

[0150] Comparing Example 7 with Examples 1-6, it can be seen that the sulfide solid-state electrolyte has a higher ionic conductivity and a lower resistance than the oxide solid-state electrolyte; therefore, the prepared solid-state battery has a higher specific capacity and a lower resistance.

[0151] Examples 8-9 use ethylene oxide instead of 1,3-dioxolane to in-situ polymerize polyethylene oxide. Since the electrochemical window of polyethylene oxide (0-4.0V) is lower than that of poly-1,3-dioxolane (0-4.4V), the positive active material uses a lithium iron phosphate system.

[0152] Examples 10-13 differ from Example 4 only in that the oxide solid-state electrolyte loaded on the positive electrode sheet is different, and the performance of the batteries produced is not significantly different. This shows that using Li 1.3 Si 0.225 V 1.36 (PO4)3, Li 0.34 La 0.51 TiO 2.94 , Li7La3Zr2O 12 , Li 3.6 Ge 0.6 V 0.4 O4 and Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO4)3as the oxide solid-state electrolyte can produce the high-gram capacity and low-resistance solid-state battery of the present application.

[0153] Examples 14-15 differ from Example 7 only in that the sulfide solid-state electrolyte loaded on the positive electrode sheet is different, and the performance of the batteries produced is not significantly different. This shows that using Li2S-P2S5, Li2S-SiS2 and Li2S-B2S3 as the sulfide solid-state electrolyte can produce the high-gram capacity and low-resistance solid-state battery of the present application.

[0154] Detection of lithium dendrites

[0155] The button cells were charged and discharged at a current density of 0.5C, the cycle number at which the capacity retention rate of the button cell was 80% was tested, and the number of lithium dendrites on the surface of the solid-state electrolyte in contact with the positive electrode was tested. The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0156] Table 3 Test results of lithium dendrites

[0157]

[0158]

[0159] From the above detection results, when the mass ratio of the solid-state electrolyte particles to the monomer of the organic polymer is 1:0.1, there is a slight phenomenon of lithium dendrites penetrating the solid-state electrolyte separator; the solid-state battery without the addition of the organic polymer has a large number of lithium dendrites penetrating the solid-state electrolyte separator. This shows that the addition of an appropriate amount of the monomer of the organic polymer can effectively prevent the growth of lithium dendrites and improve the life and safety of lithium batteries.
