TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and relates to a solid electrolyte, in particular to a novel high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid electrolyte material with a core-shell structure. On this basis, the novel high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid electrolyte with a core-shell structure and a solid-state battery thereof are further described. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology and human society, lithium ion batteries are widely used in consumer electronics, medical electronics, electric vehicles, rail transportation, mobile energy storage, smart grids, aerospace and national defense and military fields due to their superior performance. However, these fields have higher requirements for the energy density, power density and safety of the battery. However, the conventional lithium ion battery has reached the "bottleneck" of energy density, and scientists in China, the United States and Japan have agreed that the energy density of a scalable lithium ion battery cannot exceed 350 W·h / Kg. Moreover, in the process of increasing the energy density, the organic liquid electrolyte, which is volatile and flammable, is prone to cause safety accidents.
[0003] Since the currently marketed lithium ion battery uses an electrolyte containing flammable organic solvents, it is necessary to install a safety device to suppress temperature rise during short circuit or to improve the structure and material for preventing short circuit. The solid-state battery using a solid-state electrolyte which is not volatile and flammable instead of the organic liquid electrolyte is one of the main solutions to solve the "bottleneck" problem of the existing lithium ion battery, which can simplify the safety device and has excellent manufacturing cost or productivity. Among them, sulfide solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and its solid-state electrolyte are the main development direction.
[0004] Although these sulfide solid electrolytes are not volatile and flammable, at high temperatures, sulfide solid electrolytes are not completely thermally safe, and may undergo phase transition, thermal decomposition and component volatilization, which will greatly affect the ionic conductivity of the material and seriously affect the performance of the material. More importantly, the heated sulfide solid electrolyte will still release flammable sulfur, which will produce flammable and toxic hydrogen sulfide gas in the air, causing a huge safety risk. However, there are very few research reports in this regard, and there are few research results, so it is very urgent to improve the thermal stability of sulfide solid electrolytes and develop a series of high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid electrolytes.
[0005] Meanwhile, although the applicant has developed a series of sulfide solid electrolytes with high temperature resistance, the performance thereof does not seem to reach or exceed that of conventional sulfide solid electrolytes, such as a Li-Ge-P-S-based crystal solid electrolyte system, which has an ionic conductivity of 12 mS / cm; and a Li-Si-P-S-Cl crystal solid electrolyte, which has an ionic conductivity of 25 mS / cm. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a sulfide solid electrolyte with ultra-high ionic conductivity and good thermal stability, and to develop a battery with high electrochemical performance, high safety, and good operation at high temperatures.

[0038] The application will be further described below by means of the accompanying drawings and specific examples, but it should be understood that these examples are only used for more detailed description and should not be understood as limiting the application in any form, i.e. not intended to limit the protection scope of the application.
[0039] I. Core-shell structure of high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid-state electrolyte
[0040] The application provides a high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid-state electrolyte with a core-shell structure, as shown in the formula (I). Figure 1 The high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid-state electrolyte with a core-shell structure is composed of an outer layer "shell" and an inner layer "core". The outer layer "shell" is a sulfide solid-state electrolyte material α with high thermal stability, and the inner layer "core" is a sulfide solid-state electrolyte material β with high ionic conductivity.
[0041] Both of the two layers of sulfide solid-state electrolyte have high ionic conductivity, and the sulfide solid-state electrolyte of the inner layer "core" has higher ionic conductivity, which can be up to 10-20 mS / cm, which is higher than that of liquid lithium ion electrolyte.
[0042] The high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid-state electrolyte material with a core-shell structure is obtained by the following method: Figure 2 (1) Mixing process of raw materials of the inner layer "core": using a raw material composition containing the constituent components of the inner layer "core" sulfide solid electrolyte material β, synthesizing a sulfide solid electrolyte material β precursor material by mechanical grinding or mixing under the action of a liquid phase solvent.

(4) Sintering process of the core-shell structure: obtaining the high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid-state electrolyte with a core-shell structure by heat treatment of the precursor material of the high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid-state electrolyte with a core-shell structure obtained above. Figure 2 The preparation flowchart of the new high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid-state electrolyte with a core-shell structure is shown.
[0043] II. Shell structure of high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid-state electrolyte
[0044] The thermal stability of the outer layer "shell" of the present application directly affects the thermal stability of the entire sulfide solid electrolyte, so for the sulfide solid electrolyte material α, a specially designed optimization core selection method for its material is designed, and a sulfide solid electrolyte material with high thermal stability is obtained according to the method.
[0045] In the microstructure of Li-P-S-M sulfide solid electrolyte α, it can be considered that a corresponding number of [Li-S] bonds and [P-S] bonds and chemical bonds of doping element M are constructed, and these bonds are further constructed into corresponding polyhedrons to construct macroscopic electrolyte materials. The material decomposition process (physically measured decomposition temperature) is closely related to the essential structure of the material, that is, closely related to the number of corresponding polyhedrons and the number of bonds that construct the electrolyte material.
[0046] Therefore, we define the structure factor δ of the sulfide solid electrolyte, which reflects the energy possessed by all polyhedrons in the sulfide solid electrolyte, or the sum of the energy of all chemical bonds (equation 1 and equation 2).
[0047]
[0048] δ = E{Li x P y S z M m} = ∑{E[LiS4]} + ∑{E[PS3] + ∑{E[PS4] + ∑{E[P2S7] + ∑{E[P2S6]} + ∑{E[M]} (2)
[0049] In equation 1 and equation 2, E{Li x P y S z M m} represents the energy value possessed by Li x P y S z M m , E[Li-S] represents the energy contained in the [Li-S] bond, E[P-S] represents the energy contained in the [P-S] bond, E[M] represents the energy contained in the chemical bond constructed by the doping element M, and E[LiS4], E[PS3], E[PS4], E[P2S7], E[P2S6] respectively represent the energy contained in the [LiS4], [PS3], [P2S7], [PS4] and [P2S6] polyhedron.
[0050] Because the purpose of introducing the doping element M is to improve the ionic conductivity, the overall proportion is as far as possible not to be damaged, the overall energy of the material is less affected, and the E[M] part of the energy can be ignored in the subsequent calculation, so as to facilitate the simplification of the model. Further, the number of [Li-S] bonds and [P-S] bonds can be estimated by polyhedron, so as to simplify equation 2 to equation 3.
[0051]
[0052] In order to compare with each other, take unit mole as a benchmark, and carry out normalization. We define the structure factor Δ of the normalized sulfide solid electrolyte, which is obtained after the unit of δ is normalized, and reflects the energy possessed by all polyhedrons in the unit of sulfide solid electrolyte, or the total sum of all bond energies.
[0053]
[0054] In equation 3 and equation 4, N[LiS4], N[PS3], N[P2S7], N[PS4] and N[P2S6] represent the number of [LiS4], [PS3], [P2S7], [PS4] and [P2S6] polyhedrons respectively, and E[LiS4], E[PS3], E[PS4], E[P2S7], E[P2S6] represent the energy contained in [LiS4], [PS3], [P2S7], [PS4] and [P2S6] polyhedrons respectively. Total The total number of atoms in the unit cell is referred to as N, which is used as a normalization coefficient to make a fair comparison between various systems with different unit cell sizes. In order to further simplify the calculation, the number of atoms of the doping element M can be ignored in the calculation process, and N Total The sum of the number of atoms of Li, S and P is denoted as N.
[0055] The number of N[LiS4], N[PS3], N[P2S7], N[PS4] and N[P2S6] can be represented by the number of central atoms therein, for example, N[LiS4] is closely related to the number of central atoms Li, and N[PS3] is closely related to the number of central atoms P. Based on the crystal structure of sulfide electrolyte, it can be known that [P2S7], [PS3] and [P2S6] can be equivalent to two different linking modes of [PS4], and can be equivalent to the structure of [PS4] in terms of quantity. Therefore, equation 4 can be further simplified to equation 5 by multiplying the number of central atoms with the number of bonds derived from the polyhedron of the central atom. Equation 5 is conducive to quickly calculating the result without the aid of computer assistance, and improves the practicability.
[0056] Δ = {N(Li) × E[Li-S] + N(p) × E[p-S]} × 4 (5)
[0057] where N(Li) represents the atomic percentage of the central atom Li, N(P) represents the atomic percentage of the central atom P, E[Li-S] represents the energy contained in the [Li-S] bond, and E[P-S] represents the energy contained in the [P-S] bond.
[0058] E[Li-S] and E[P-S] can be obtained from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, so equation 5 can be further simplified as equation 6.
[0059] Δ = {N(Li) x 312.5 + N(P) x 346} x 4 (6)
[0060] where N(Li) represents the atomic percentage of the central atom Li, and N(P) represents the atomic percentage of the central atom P.
[0061] Thus, we define the structure factor Δ of the normalized sulfide solid-state electrolyte (equation 6). The structure factor Δ represents the total energy simplification of all Li-S bonds and all P-S bonds inside the sulfide solid-state electrolyte, reflecting the thermal stability of the material structure. Since the structure factor Δ is a simplified result obtained by analyzing and summarizing the “material-structure-performance” three dimensions of the sulfide solid-state electrolyte, and this result is only related to the composition of Li-P-S-M, we predict that by optimizing the composition ratio of Li-P-S-M in the sulfide solid-state electrolyte, the thermal stability of the sulfide solid-state electrolyte can be effectively improved, the sulfide solid-state electrolyte can exist stably at high temperatures without obvious thermal decomposition process and sulfur precipitation process, and has good ionic conductivity.
[0062] In the Li-P-S-M sulfide solid-state electrolyte α, the element M is at least one of non-metallic elements oxygen O, selenium Se, fluorine F, chlorine Cl, bromine Br, iodine I, or metal elements magnesium Mg, calcium Ca, strontium Sr, zinc Zn, scandium Sc, antimony Sb, silicon Si, germanium Ge, tin Sn, boron B, aluminum Al, gallium Ga, indium In, titanium Ti, zirconium Zr, vanadium V, niobium Nb, copper Cu, nickel Ni, manganese Mn, chromium Cr, silver Ag, lanthanum La, cerium Ce, terbium Tb, tellurium Te, lead Pb, arsenic As, bismuth Bi, etc.
[0063] According to the derivation process of the above equation 6, the above equation 6 is also applicable to the Li-P-S sulfide solid-state electrolyte α without containing the doping element M, which is equivalent to the M content being 0.
[0064] To verify the relationship between the structure factor Δ and the thermal stability, we selected a series of sulfide solid electrolyte materials α with different compositions containing lithium Li, phosphorus P, sulfur S, and other elements M. The sulfide solid electrolyte α with different atomic numbers is summarized in Table 1. The accurate Li and P atomic ratios of the sulfide solid electrolyte α can be obtained by ICP testing, and the structure factor Δ is calculated. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy test (test instrument is Zahner ZenniumPro) is performed on the sulfide solid electrolyte α, and the ionic conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte α is also summarized in Table 1. In the calculation process of the structure factor Δ, the atomic percentage (N(P) and N(Li)) is calculated without considering the atomic number of the doping elements. Total ) is not included in the atomic number of the doping elements.
[0065] The sulfide solid electrolyte α in Table 1 is placed in a muffle furnace for heating treatment, and then the sulfide solid electrolyte α after heat treatment is tested and analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction of CuKα ray to obtain the phase decomposition temperature of the sulfide solid electrolyte α. The structure factor Δ of the high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid electrolyte α with different atomic ratios and their thermal decomposition temperatures are summarized in Figure 3 .
[0066] From the experimental results, the structure factor Δ is synchronous with the thermal decomposition temperature of the sulfide solid electrolyte α. The structure factor Δ of the present application is positively correlated with the thermal decomposition temperature (thermal stability) of the sulfide solid electrolyte α, and can be used as an important parameter for measuring the thermal stability performance of the sulfide solid electrolyte α.

[0069] According to the composition ratio relationship of the Li-P-S-M sulfide solid electrolyte α, we established the LiPS ternary composition diagram (4) and the LiPSM quaternary composition diagram (5), respectively. We selected a part of the region with higher structure factor Δ results in the ternary and quaternary composition diagrams (the shaded part in the figure). Since the content of the doping element M is very small, the range of the region in the quaternary composition diagram is basically consistent with the projection of the LiPS ternary phase diagram on the plane. Therefore, the quaternary composition diagram can be simplified and projected on the LiPS ternary phase diagram (4), Figure 4 and Figure 6 Figure 4 and Figure 6 The difference part of the middle region is caused by the difference of the additional doped element M. Since our equation 6 can be widely applied to the calculation of the structure factor Δ of ternary and quaternary composition materials, and the structure factor Δ can be positively correlated with the thermal decomposition temperature, the material composition of the region obtained by taking the union of the region with a higher structure factor Δ result.
[0070] Specifically, in this region, the structure factor Δ is 301.5±1~980±1, and the thermal decomposition temperature of the material in this region is greater than 300℃. Specifically, the LiPSM material composition of this region is 0
[0071] Further, within the above-mentioned region range, the region with a higher structure factor Δ result in the composition diagram is also selected in combination with experiments, in which the structure factor Δ is 700±1~980±1, and through verification (see the following series of examples for details), the material in this region exhibits higher thermal stability and thermal decomposition temperature, and the decomposition temperature is greater than 500℃. Specifically, the material composition of this region is 0.305
[0072] To further verify the thermal decomposition temperature of the material in the above-mentioned selected region range, we provide a summary of examples 10-104 in the region range of 0

In the vicinity of 2θ = 23.5°-24.5°, the peak at 2θ = 23.6° ± 0.5° is a characteristic peak.
[0080] IV. High-temperature-resistant sulfide solid electrolyte with core-shell structure
[0081] Example 105
[0082] For the purpose of full solid battery practicality, in combination with ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability, the preferred outer layer "shell" of the present embodiment is a sulfide solid electrolyte containing lithium Li, phosphorus P, and sulfur S, and has a sulfide solid electrolyte material α with the following atomic numbers, wherein the atomic numbers are N(Li) = 0.392, N(P) = 0.148, and N(S) = 0.46.
[0083] The preferred inner layer "core" of the present embodiment is a sulfide solid electrolyte containing lithium Li, phosphorus P, sulfur S, and chlorine Cl, with a chemical formula of Li6P1.2S5.4Cl1.2.
[0084] The high-thermal-stability sulfide solid electrolyte material α and the high-ionic-conductivity sulfide solid electrolyte material β obtained by the above method, and a core-shell structure constructed from the two electrolytes, can achieve high ionic conductivity and high thermal stability, and balanced overall performance.
[0085] Preparation method: The synthesis method of the high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid electrolyte with a core-shell structure in the present patent adopts a multi-step solid-phase sintering method, which mainly includes four steps. In the first step, the mixing process of the inner layer "core" raw materials: a raw material composition containing the constituent components of the inner layer "core" sulfide solid electrolyte material β is used to synthesize a sulfide solid electrolyte material β precursor material through mechanical grinding or mixing in a liquid phase solvent. In the second step, the inner layer "core" precursor heat treatment crystallization process: the sulfide solid electrolyte material β precursor material is heated to obtain the high-ionic-conductivity sulfide solid electrolyte material β. In the third step, the outer surface layer "shell" raw material coating process: the high-ionic-conductivity sulfide solid electrolyte material β obtained above is mixed with a raw material composition containing the constituent components of the outer surface layer "shell" sulfide solid electrolyte material α, and a precursor material of a high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid electrolyte with a core-shell structure is synthesized through mechanical stirring or mixing in a liquid phase solvent. In the fourth step, the sintering process of the core-shell structure: the precursor material of the high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid electrolyte with a core-shell structure obtained above is subjected to heat treatment to obtain the high-temperature-resistant sulfide solid electrolyte with a core-shell structure.
[0086] The synthesis method of the present embodiment is mainly using lithium sulfide (Li2S) and phosphorus pentasulfide (P2S5), lithium chloride (LiCl) and other lithium sources, sulfur sources and chlorine sources as starting materials. These powders are weighed in the glove box under Ar environment (dew point -70°C), mixed in the agate mortar to obtain the raw precursor. Then, the obtained raw precursor is put into a 45ml zirconia jar, further put into zirconia balls (φ10mm, 15-20), and the jar is completely sealed (Ar environment).

The 2θ position of the diffraction peak was determined by the barycentric method using the XRD analysis program JADE. The test was carried out under conventional test conditions using the general powder X-ray diffractometer (other brands are also available). Since there are differences in test parameters between different instruments, the setting parameters of the general powder X-ray diffractometer are taken as an example below: tube voltage: 36kV; tube current: 20mA; X-ray wavelength: Cu-Kα ray; detector: scintillation counter; measurement range: 2θ = 10-80deg; step width, scanning speed: 0.02deg, 1deg / min; in the process of analyzing the peak position for confirming the existence of crystal structure according to the measurement results, the XRD analysis program JADE is used to draw the baseline by cubic equation fitting, and then the peak position is calculated.

Weigh 0.1g (accurate to 0.1mg) of the sample into a 100mL beaker, add 5mL of standard digestion solution, heat on an electric hot plate (70°C) until the sample is completely dissolved, and cool to room temperature. Transfer the sample solution into a 250mL volumetric flask, and dilute with ultrapure water to the mark, and mix well. Take 5mL of the diluted sample solution and dilute it to 50mL, i.e. dilute it 10 times.
