Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion batteries and relates to a composite electrolyte, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have experienced rapid development over the past decade. However, current LIBs achieve high energy density by using organic liquid electrolytes and special additives to increase battery voltage, which may lead to serious safety issues. With the development of new energy power battery technology, traditional liquid batteries are increasingly unable to meet consumer demands, and lithium battery technology is trending towards higher safety and higher energy density. The availability of high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries has accelerated the development of electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems such as power grids. Therefore, developing high-energy-density and high-safety all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLBs) has become a future trend in the industry.

[0003] Polymer electrolytes have been widely used in solid-state lithium-ion batteries due to their high film-forming properties and lithium-ion conductivity, but they still face problems such as narrow electrochemical stability windows and poor thermal stability. This patent proposes a solid-state electrolyte material composed of a low-temperature detection alloy and a polymer, and its solid-state battery, enabling all-solid-state batteries to achieve high safety, long cycle life, and high charge-discharge performance.

[0004] Polymers, due to their low cost, relatively flexible membranes, and certain cycle stability for anode materials, have been widely developed. Taking PEO as an example, its tendency to crystallize at low temperatures affects its performance on Li... + Due to factors such as insufficient migration sensitivity and inadequate rigidity, most existing PEO-based polymers cannot achieve long-term high-temperature cycling. During cycling, they are prone to uneven lithium deposition and the formation of lithium dendrites. Furthermore, interfacial reactions occur during frequent electroplating and stripping, leading to increased interfacial resistance. Additionally, the potential window of PEO-based polymers is not wide enough; when the voltage exceeds 4V, the polymer electrolyte microstructures are easily oxidized, resulting in reduced activity.

[0005] CN110994014A discloses an all-solid-state polymer electrolyte, its preparation method, and a lithium-ion battery. The all-solid-state polymer electrolyte comprises a polycaprolactone-based block copolymer and a lithium salt, and also includes polymer material particles and / or inorganic material particles; however, the prepared all-solid-state polymer electrolyte still exhibits poor flexibility.

[0006] CN115441125A discloses a composite porous polymer electrolyte membrane and its preparation method. The membrane comprises 30-35% polymer, 35-69% ionic liquid, and 1-30% inorganic nanoparticles. By doping the polymer with inorganic nanoparticles, the crystallinity of the polymer is reduced, thereby improving the ionic conductivity.

[0007] However, the polymers synthesized by adding organic and inorganic fillers to prepare composite membranes also suffer from poor mechanical strength and poor thermal / electrochemical stability, which cannot improve their application status in all-solid-state batteries with lithium metal anodes.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel inorganic alloy and polymer composite solid electrolyte for use in lithium-ion batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a composite electrolyte, its preparation method, and its application, thereby improving the electrochemical characteristics of polymer electrolytes in lithium metal anode batteries.

[0012] This invention provides a composite electrolyte with a sandwich structure. In this structure, the polymer matrix and the inner polymer composite film act as a rigid supporting framework. Simultaneously, the polymer matrix protects and improves the interfacial contact between the inner composite film and the positive and negative electrodes, allowing lithium ions to rapidly transport through the matrix within the sandwich layer. This suppresses the growth and puncture of lithium dendrites during lithium metal plating and stripping processes. The inner polymer electrolyte is doped with alloy materials, which play a crucial role in improving the conductivity of the composite film. These alloy materials also act as inorganic fillers, enhancing the rigidity of the composite film and improving the electrochemical characteristics of the inner composite film in lithium metal anode batteries. This results in improved electrochemical stability and mechanical elasticity of the prepared polymer electrolyte material.

The inner layer of the composite electrolyte includes a polymer electrolyte PEO, a lithium salt LiTFSI, and an alloy material Ga. 60 In 30 Sn 10 The composite electrolyte comprises a polymer matrix, polyethylene terephthalate, on both sides.

[0046] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a composite electrolyte, the method comprising:

[0047] Under an argon atmosphere, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and polyethylene oxide were weighed out at a mass ratio of 5:1. The mixture was initially ground to obtain a mortar-like slurry, and then Ga was added. 60 In 30 Sn 10 The liquid alloy accounts for 30% of the total PEO. The resulting mixed slurry is vacuum thermo-cured at 100°C and 0.1% RH for 48 hours to obtain a uniform slurry block. This block is then sandwiched between two PET polymer matrix sheets to form a sandwich structure and hot-rolled, achieving a hot-rolling strength of 210 kg / cm². 2 The roller-passing time was 0.5 min, resulting in a 20 mm thick composite membrane. This composite polymer electrolyte membrane was then left to dry at room temperature for 24 h, followed by isostatic pressing at 5 MPa and 80 °C to obtain the final composite polymer electrolyte membrane with a thickness of 16 mm. The composite polymer electrolyte is PEO / LiTFSI / Ga. 60 In 30 Sn 10 / PET.
