[0060] Example 1

[0061] Preparation of solid electrolytes:

[0062] 12.4 mmol of Li3N (431 mg) and 12.4 mmol of Li2S (568 mg) were weighed separately in an argon-atmosphere glove box, corresponding to x = 0.5. The raw materials were ground and mixed in an agate mortar and then placed in a 45 ml ball mill jar. Zirconia ball milling beads were used, with a ratio of small balls (3 mm in diameter) to large balls (8 mm in diameter) of 5:1, for a total mass of 45 g. The mixture was ground in a planetary ball mill (FRITSCH PULVERISETTE 7) at 500 rpm for 7.5 hours, with a 5-minute pause after every 15 minutes of milling. After the reaction was complete, the ball mill jar was opened in an argon-atmosphere glove box, and the material was removed. Thus, the solid electrolyte material of Example 1 was obtained.

[0063] X-ray diffraction, ionic conductivity testing, solid electrolyte activation energy testing, lithium symmetric cell testing, and full cell testing were performed on the solid electrolyte material in Example 1. The results are as follows:

[0064] (1) Ionic conductivity test

[0065] Lithium-ion conductivity was tested by AC impedance spectroscopy. The method was as follows: Solid electrolyte was weighed in an argon-atmospheric glove box. 100 mg of electrolyte was placed in a molded battery and pressed into a sheet at a pressure of 500 MPa for 5 minutes. The pressure was then reduced to 250 MPa, and a symmetrical battery ("stainless steel | solid electrolyte | stainless steel") was directly assembled inside the molded battery. The AC impedance of this battery in open circuit mode was measured. Measurements were performed using a Biologic VSP200 analyzer at a voltage of 50 mV, a frequency range of 1 Hz to 7 MHz, and a test temperature of 27 °C. After measurement, the solid electrolyte sheet was removed from the molded battery, and its thickness was measured using a micrometer.

[0066] The formula for calculating lithium-ion conductivity is as follows:

[0067]

[0068] Where σ is the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte being measured, and R se This represents the AC impedance value of the solid electrolyte material in the impedance measurement, where S is the contact area between the solid electrolyte and the stainless steel electrode, and d is the thickness of the solid electrolyte material. Specific results for lithium-ion conductivity are shown in Table 1. Figure 3 The AC impedance spectrum and lithium-ion conductivity were measured at 27°C.

[0069] The results show that the lithium-ion conductivity of the solid electrolyte in Example 1 is 2.1 × 10⁻⁶. -4 S / cm.

[0070] (2) X-ray diffraction

[0071] The X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample was measured using a Malvern Panalytical Empyrean X-ray diffractometer with the following parameters: voltage 40 kV, current 45 mA; 2θ range: 10–80°; scan rate: 7°min. -1 A polyimide film was used to isolate the sample from air. X-ray diffraction was performed using copper Kα rays (wavelength...). The X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample is shown in the figure. Figure 2 .

[0072] The results show that diffraction peaks exist in the X-ray diffraction pattern at positions of 2θ = 28.18°, 32.54°, 46.97°, 55.75°, and 58.57°. The F-value of the diffraction peak corresponding to 2θ = 28.18° is... (111) / λ=0.42.

[0073] (3) Solid electrolyte activation energy test

[0074] The activation energy test method in Example 1 is to measure the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte material at different temperatures. The test method is as follows: the aforementioned mold battery is placed in a high and low temperature chamber with a temperature range of 30 to 110°C and a heating rate of 10°C·h. -1 During the heating process, the AC impedance of the mold battery in open circuit mode was tested, and the formula for calculating the lithium-ion conductivity is as described above. Figure 4 Li, as in Example 1 2.5 N 0.5 S 0.5 The lithium-ion conductivity of a solid electrolyte changes with temperature.

[0075] The results showed that the activation energy Ea of the solid electrolyte in Example 1 was 0.38 eV in the experimental temperature range.

[0076] (4) Lithium-symmetric battery testing

[0077] A molded battery is used as the battery casing, which includes two metal pillars and an insulating liner; lithium metal sheets serve as the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, and the electrolyte is the solid electrolyte prepared in Example 1.

[0078] 100 mg of the solid electrolyte powder from Example 1 was placed in a molded battery cylinder and maintained at a pressure of 500 MPa for 5 minutes. The pressure was then released, and lithium plates and stainless steel pillars were added to both ends of the electrolyte plate. The cylinder was placed inside the molded battery flange, subjected to a pressure of 25 MPa, and the screws were tightened. After sealing, a lithium symmetric battery was obtained. In the constant current cycling test of the lithium symmetric battery, the battery was left to stand at 27°C for 2 hours, followed by cycles consisting of 30 minutes of charging and 30 minutes of discharging, with a constant cycle current density of 0.1 mA·cm⁻¹. -1 . Figure 5 The results are from constant current cycling tests on lithium symmetric batteries.

[0079] The results show that the lithium symmetric battery using the solid electrolyte of Example 1 can cycle for more than 750 cycles, which corresponds to the solid electrolyte of Example 1 having good compatibility with lithium metal and can achieve stable cycling of the lithium symmetric battery.

[0080] (5) Full battery test

[0082] Step two: A molded battery comprising two metal pillars and an insulating liner is used as the battery casing. 80 mg of the solid electrolyte powder from Example 1 is placed in the molded battery cylinder and held at a pressure of 200 MPa for 2 minutes. The pressure is then released to obtain the first electrolyte layer. Subsequently, 120 mg of Li6PS5Cl solid electrolyte powder is added and held at a pressure of 400 MPa for 2 minutes. The pressure is then released to obtain the second electrolyte layer.

[0083] Step 3: Add 10 mg of positive electrode mixture to one side of the electrolyte layer, spread it evenly, and maintain it under a pressure of 200 MPa for 2 minutes to obtain the positive electrode layer. Add a lithium sheet and a stainless steel pillar to the other end of the electrolyte sheet; place the cylinder into the mold battery flange, apply a pressure of 50 MPa, tighten the screws, and seal the mold battery. After battery assembly, let it stand at 27°C for 12 hours, and then conduct charge-discharge tests at a rate of 0.1C within a voltage range of 2.5–4.2V (relative to Li / Li+).
