Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of applications of dynamic supramolecular ion conductors, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a solid-state metal battery based on a dynamic supramolecular ion-conducting elastomer. Background Art
[0002] Solid-state batteries have the advantages of high specific energy, high safety, long life, high reliability, small volume, flexibility, etc., and can meet the various requirements of energy storage fields such as electric vehicles, flexible electronic products, and aerospace. They are an important direction for the development of future energy storage power supplies. Solid-state batteries replace liquid electrolytes and diaphragms with solid electrolytes, which can fundamentally solve the safety problems caused by the volatility, leakage, and combustion of traditional liquid electrolytes. At the same time, the volume can be reduced by 40% and the mass can be reduced by 25%. Therefore, it is considered an important way to achieve the goal of increasing the energy density of power batteries to 500 Wh / kg. Among them, solid-state batteries using solid electrolytes instead of liquid organic electrolytes have become a key technology in the next-generation energy storage field. Among common solid electrolytes, polymer solid electrolytes have the advantages of light weight, flexibility, easy processing, safety and reliability, and low price, and have great potential in the practical application of solid-state batteries with high specific energy, long cycle life, and high safety. -1 Polymer solid electrolytes are composed of a polymer matrix and a lithium salt. Their ion transport mainly depends on two processes: the dissociation of lithium salts by polar groups such as C-O, C=O, and C≡N on polymer segments, and the movement of amorphous segments on polymer segments to promote the repetitive "coordination-dissociation" process of Li to achieve ion transport, thereby providing a relatively high ionic conductivity. However, current polymer solid electrolytes still have the following deficiencies: a relatively narrow electrochemical stability window, which limits the energy density of solid-state batteries; poor mechanical properties, unable to prevent metal dendrites from penetrating the electrolyte and causing battery short circuits; and both flexibility and safety performance need to be improved.

The binder and the solid electrolyte are adhered together, and an integrated cathode / ultrathin solid electrolyte solid-state metal battery is constructed relying on the structural reversibility of the dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer, which can meet the requirements of various energy storage fields such as electric vehicles, flexible electronic products, and aerospace.
[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] The raw materials of the dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer in this example include: 1 g of dynamic supramolecular elastomer, 350 mg of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and 30 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran.
[0043] The preparation method of the solid-state metal battery based on the dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer in this example specifically includes the following steps:
[0044] The first step: Preparation of the dynamic supramolecular elastomer. Take 1 mmol of polytetramethylene ether glycol and add it to a Schlenk flask (maintaining a nitrogen or argon atmosphere in the flask), heat it to 120 °C, perform the vacuum-filling cycle 3 - 5 times to remove the residual moisture in the Schlenk flask, and cool it to 65 °C; dissolve 2.1 mmol of dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate in a certain amount of anhydrous solvent N,N-dimethylformamide, mix it well and add it to the polytetramethylene ether glycol, then add 0.03 mol of catalyst dibutyltin dilaurate, and stir and react at 65 °C for 1 h; heat it to 80 °C, add an anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide solution of 0.7 mmol of 2,2'-dithiobisethanol and 0.3 mmol of 2-ureido-4[1H]pyrimidinone to the above reactants, continuously stir at 80 °C for 9 h, and then add a certain amount of methanol and stir for 30 min to ensure that all isocyanate functional groups react completely; pour the reaction product into a glass petri dish or a polytetrafluoroethylene mold, remove a large amount of solvent in a blast oven at 60 °C, and then put it into a vacuum drying oven at 70 °C for 48 h to remove the residual solvent to obtain the dynamic supramolecular elastomer.
[0045] The second step: Preparation of the precursor solution of the dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer. Take 1 g of dynamic supramolecular elastomer and 350 mg of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, dissolve them in 30 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, and continuously stir for 24 h to form a transparent, colorless and homogeneous solution.
[0046] Step 3: Preparation of the composite cathode. Lithium iron phosphate cathode particles, super-p, and the precursor solution of the dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer are dissolved in a certain volume of anhydrous N-methylpyrrolidone according to a solute mass ratio of 7:2:1, and ball-milled for 4 h to form a uniformly dispersed slurry. The slurry is coated on a current collector (aluminum foil or carbon-coated aluminum foil) by processes such as spin coating and blade coating, dried, and cut into pieces to form a composite cathode sheet, or a self-supporting composite cathode sheet. In this step, the dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer formed by coating the precursor solution and volatilizing the solvent is used as a binder for the lithium iron phosphate cathode particles. The composite cathode sheet is doped with lithium iron phosphate cathode particles and super-p with the binder to form a bonding layer.
[0047] Step 4: Preparation of an all-solid-state lithium metal battery with an integrated cathode / ultrathin solid electrolyte structure. A certain amount of the precursor solution is respectively coated on the surfaces of the composite cathode sheet and the lithium metal anode sheet by processes such as spin coating and blade coating. After the solvent is completely volatilized, a thin layer of dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer film (also known as a dynamic supramolecular electrolyte film) is formed on the surfaces of the composite cathode sheet and the lithium metal anode sheet respectively. Subsequently, the composite cathode sheet and the lithium metal anode sheet coated with the electrolyte film are face-to-face bonded together with the coated surfaces as the bonding surfaces. The solid electrolyte obtained after bonding is formed by overlapping the two electrolyte films on the composite cathode sheet and the lithium metal anode sheet, with a total thickness of 11 μm (preferably less than 30 μm). Finally, it is encapsulated through a battery encapsulation machine to form a flexible all-solid-state lithium metal battery with an integrated cathode / ultrathin electrolyte structure under the condition that the dynamic supramolecular structure is reversible. In this step, the dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer formed by coating the precursor solution and volatilizing the solvent is used as the solid electrolyte of the solid-state metal battery.
[0048] In the above steps 3 and 4, the two coatings on the composite cathode sheet are on the same side, which is the bonding surface facing the lithium metal anode sheet. After bonding, based on the reversible characteristics of the dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer, the binder and the solid electrolyte form an integrated cathode / electrolyte structure under the dynamic exchange and recombination effects.
[0049] It can be seen that Figure 1 in the all-solid-state lithium metal battery prepared in Example 1, the solid electrolyte and the bonding layer form an integrated cathode / electrolyte structure under the dynamic exchange and recombination effects, and a structure in which the solid electrolyte is in close contact with the lithium metal anode; it can be seen that Figure 2 the all-solid-state lithium metal battery prepared in Example 1 can be stably cycled more than 300 times, and the capacity retention rate can reach 80%, and the Coulomb efficiency is more than 99%; it can be seen that Figure 3 the flexible battery prepared in Example 1 based on the dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer can normally light up an LED lamp, and can still work normally under environments such as folding, rolling, puncturing, and breaking, indicating that the battery has very high safety.

Subsequently, the composite cathode with the electrolyte membrane and the lithium metal anode were pasted together, and then the battery was encapsulated by a battery encapsulation machine. Under the condition that the dynamic supramolecular structure was reversible, an all-solid-state lithium metal battery with an integrated cathode / ultra-thin electrolyte structure was formed.

Add 1 mmol of hydroxyl-terminated polyethylene glycol-propylene glycol copolymer into a Schlenk flask (maintaining a nitrogen or argon atmosphere in the flask), heat to 120 °C, perform 3 - 5 cycles of vacuum evacuation and gas filling to remove residual moisture in the Schlenk flask, and then cool to 65 °C; dissolve 2.1 mmol of dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate in a certain amount of anhydrous solvent N,N-dimethylformamide, mix well and add it to the hydroxyl-terminated polyethylene glycol-propylene glycol copolymer, then add 0.03 mol of catalyst dibutyltin dilaurate, and stir and react at 65 °C for 1 h; heat to 80 °C, add an anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide solution of 0.7 mmol of 2,2'-dithiobisethanol and 0.3 mmol of 2-ureido-4[1H]pyrimidinone to the above reactants, continuously stir at 80 °C for 9 h, and then add a certain amount of methanol and stir for 30 min to ensure that all isocyanate functional groups react completely; pour the reaction product into a glass petri dish or a polytetrafluoroethylene mold, remove a large amount of solvent in a blast drying oven at 60 °C, and then place it in a vacuum drying oven at 70 °C for 48 h to remove residual solvent, obtaining a dynamic supramolecular elastomer.
[0075] Step 2: Preparation of the precursor solution of dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer. Take 0.5 g of dynamic supramolecular elastomer and 175 mg of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, dissolve them in 15 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, and continuously stir for 24 h to form a transparent, colorless and homogeneous solution;
[0076] Step 3: Preparation of the composite cathode. Dissolve lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide cathode particles, super-p and the precursor solution of dynamic supramolecular ion-conductive elastomer in a certain volume of anhydrous N-methylpyrrolidone according to a solute mass ratio of 5:1:4, ball mill for 4 h to form a uniformly dispersed slurry, coat the slurry on the current collector through a doctor blade, dry it, and cut it into pieces to form a composite cathode sheet.
[0077] Step 4: Preparation of an all-solid-state lithium metal battery with an integrated cathode / ultra-thin solid electrolyte structure. Coat a certain amount of the precursor solution on the adhesive layer of the composite cathode sheet and the surface of the lithium metal anode sheet respectively. After the solvent completely volatilizes, a ultra-thin dynamic supramolecular electrolyte membrane (solid electrolyte) is formed on the surfaces of the composite cathode sheet and the lithium metal anode sheet respectively. Then, the composite cathode sheet covered with the electrolyte membrane and the lithium metal anode sheet are pasted together, and then the battery is encapsulated by a battery encapsulator, and under the condition of reversibility of the dynamic supramolecular structure, an all-solid-state lithium metal battery with an integrated cathode / ultra-thin electrolyte structure is formed.
[0078] For the electrochemical performance of the solid-state metal batteries prepared in the above Examples 1 - 5, see Table 1.
[0079] Table 1
[0080] Example Cyclic stability Capacity retention Coulombic efficiency 1 350 81.2% >99% 2 325 83% >99% 3 400 85% >99% 4 350 80.7% >99% 5 500 87% >99%
[0081] Figure 1 It can be seen that the solid-state metal battery of the present application can be stably cycled more than 300 times, and the capacity retention rate can reach 80%, and the Coulomb efficiency is more than 99%. The performance is excellent. Among them, the effect of Example 5 is the best.
[0082] In order to explore the influence of the dynamic supramolecular ion-conducting elastomer on the battery performance, Comparative Example 1 was proposed according to the same preparation method and process parameters as in Example 1. Only the PVDF material was used to replace the dynamic supramolecular ion-conducting elastomer (DSICE) in the present invention as the binder, and the solid electrolyte still used the dynamic supramolecular ion-conducting elastomer. Its electrochemical performance was tested, and the results are as Figure 4 shown. It can be seen that the battery capacity is significantly lower than that when the dynamic supramolecular ion-conducting elastomer is used as the binder.
[0083] It should be noted here that in the process of preparing the solid electrolyte of the present invention, it is the best operation to coat the precursor solution of the dynamic supramolecular ion-conducting elastomer on both the composite positive electrode sheet and the metal negative electrode sheet (double-sided coating), and then after volatilizing the solvent, the composite positive electrode sheet and the metal negative electrode sheet are bonded face to face with their respective coating surfaces together, and the performance of the obtained solid-state metal battery is the best. When the composite positive electrode sheet and the metal negative electrode sheet are coated on a single piece, it must be coated on the surface of the lithium metal negative electrode to improve the interfacial compatibility with the lithium metal negative electrode by using the wettability of the precursor solution. When the composite positive electrode sheet and the metal negative electrode sheet are fixed at a suitable distance, the precursor solution is poured (using the siphon capillary effect) into the gap between the composite positive electrode sheet and the metal negative electrode sheet, and a solid electrolyte can also be formed by volatilizing the solvent. However, this operation will cause the solvent to volatilize incompletely, or there are bubbles in the poured precursor solution, thus affecting the performance of the battery.
[0084] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are only examples, and various changes or modifications can be made to this embodiment without departing from the principle and essence of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is only defined by the appended claims.
