Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of all-solid-state battery materials, and particularly relates to a method for preparing an all-solid-state battery by a dry method and an all-solid-state battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, lithium ion batteries have been widely used in human daily life and industrial production process due to their high energy density and long cycle life. However, the traditional liquid battery contains flammable and explosive organic electrolyte, and thus has serious safety hazards. In abnormal conditions such as overcharging and external mechanical damage leading to internal short circuit, the electrolyte may catch fire or even explode, which seriously limits the development and application of lithium ion batteries.

[0003] Compared with the traditional liquid lithium ion battery, the all-solid-state lithium ion battery uses a solid-state electrolyte with good thermal stability and safety to replace the traditional organic electrolyte, which effectively solves the problems of poor safety performance, narrow working temperature range and low electrochemical window in the liquid battery. In addition, the solid-state lithium battery system can adopt a stacked structure, and multiple electrodes can be stacked through structural design during battery assembly, which is expected to prepare a single cell battery with high output voltage.

[0004] Sulfide solid-state electrolyte is considered to be the most promising electrolyte in recent years due to its ion conductivity comparable to that of liquid electrolyte. The production technology of the solid-state electrolyte layer disclosed in the prior art can be divided into two categories: wet film forming technology and dry film forming technology. On the one hand, in the wet coating process, in order to ensure that the electrolyte film can become a continuous phase, a binder needs to be added to the solid-state electrolyte to prepare a slurry, which is coated on the substrate or electrode surface. The above method can prepare an electrolyte layer with uniform thickness and thin thickness. Although the thinner the electrolyte layer is, the more conducive to the rapid transmission of lithium ions, the stability of the sulfide electrolyte is poor, sensitive to solvents, and the side reaction with solvents can easily lead to a decrease in conductivity, and the presence of the binder can hinder ion transmission and increase the internal resistance of the electrolyte layer. On the other hand, the dry film preparation technology mainly mixes the electrolyte powder and the easily fibrillated polymer, and the easily fibrillated polymer is fibrillated under high shear force to prepare an ultra-thin electrolyte layer. The above method can effectively avoid the influence of solvents on the conductivity of sulfide electrolyte, but the uniformity of the mixture of electrolyte powder and polymer is difficult to control during the preparation process, and it is difficult to prepare a relatively thin electrolyte layer, and the preparation method has high requirements for equipment, which has great challenges in production application.

[0005] In addition to the above problems, the negative material will consume part of the lithium ion to form a solid-state electrolyte interface (SEI film) during the first cycle of the battery, thereby producing irreversible capacity loss, affecting the energy density and cycle life of the battery. In addition, there is also a problem of poor solid-solid interface contact performance in the solid-state battery system, which results in serious interface impedance between the electrolyte layer and the electrode, thus affecting the overall performance of the battery.

[0006] Therefore, in the art, there is an urgent need to develop a kind of all-solid-state battery, which not only has high ionic conductivity and low interface impedance, but also has good electrochemical performance. SUMMARY

[0007] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a method for preparing an all-solid-state battery by dry method and an all-solid-state battery. The present application provides a method for preparing an all-solid-state battery without solvent participation throughout the process, effectively solving the technical problems of low first coulomb efficiency and poor interface contact performance between electrode material and electrolyte in solid-state battery.

[0008] To achieve this purpose of the application, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0009] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing an all-solid-state battery by dry method, which comprises the following steps:

[0010] Preparation of negative electrode mixed powder and sulfide solid-state electrolyte mixed powder;

[0011] In a water-free and oxygen-free environment, the negative electrode mixed powder is sprayed onto the substrate using an electrostatic spraying device, and after solidification, a pre-lithiated negative electrode layer is obtained;

[0012] The sulfide solid-state electrolyte mixed powder is then sprayed onto the surface of the pre-lithiated negative electrode layer using an electrostatic spraying device, and after solidification, an electrolyte layer is obtained;

[0013] The dry film-forming positive electrode material is compounded with the other side of the electrolyte layer, and an all-solid-state battery is assembled.

[0014] It should be noted that the dry film-forming positive electrode material provided by the present application uses a dry film-forming preparation method that does not include electrostatic spraying. Due to the high tap density of the positive electrode material, the use of electrostatic spraying is not ideal, and it is easy to produce uneven thickness and difficult to produce electrostatic adsorption, so other commonly used dry film-forming methods in the art are used to prepare the positive electrode material.

[0015] In the present application, the substrate includes but is not limited to lithium foil.

[0016] The application adopts an electrostatic spraying method to prepare a pre-lithiated negative electrode layer and an electrolyte layer, and then integrates the composite with a positive electrode, thereby improving the first cycle coulomb efficiency of the full solid-state battery and improving the cycle performance of the full solid-state battery. Firstly, the pre-lithiation of the negative electrode can reduce the irreversible capacity loss of the battery in the first charge-discharge process. Since the reaction activity of lithium metal is high, it is easy to react with active materials, solvents and the like in the negative electrode layer, so the application directly sprays the negative electrode layer on the surface of the lithium metal by dry mixing and electrostatic spraying, thereby avoiding the side reaction between the conventional solvent used in the pre-lithiation process and the lithium metal, and further affecting the pre-lithiation effect.

[0017] Secondly, in the full solid-state battery, the solid-solid interface contact problem is one of the main reasons affecting the performance of the battery. At present, the preparation process of the commonly used solid-state battery mainly adopts independent preparation of the positive electrode, the electrolyte layer and the negative electrode to form an assembly, and then the assembly is combined by pressure. However, the effect of improving the electrolyte layer / electrode interface contact by relying on subsequent pressure is limited. Therefore, the application adopts an electrostatic spraying method to prepare an integrated electrolyte layer / pre-lithiated negative electrode layer on the surface of the negative electrode layer, thereby greatly improving the interface contact problem between the negative electrode layer and the electrolyte layer.

[0018] Finally, in the process of preparing a solid-state electrolyte film by the flow casting method disclosed in the prior art, the binder needs to be mixed and dissolved with an organic solvent, but the sulfide electrolyte is prone to react with the organic solvent to affect the conductivity. Therefore, the dry spraying method is used in the application to avoid the adverse effects of the solvent in the preparation process of the electrolyte layer.

[0099] Examples 5-6 are the cases where the mass ratio of the negative electrode mixed powder and the sulfide solid-state electrolyte mixed powder exceeds the limited range, and the comprehensive performance of the prepared battery is poor; example 7 is the case where the thickness of the lithium foil substrate is too large, and the obtained battery is prone to short circuit.

[0100] Compared with example 1, comparative example 1 does not perform pre-lithiation treatment, and the prepared battery has low first efficiency and poor cycle performance; comparative example 2 has poor effect by using wet process; in comparative example 3, due to the high tap density of the positive electrode material, the electrostatic spraying effect is not ideal, and it is easy to produce uneven thickness and not easy to produce electrostatic adsorption, so the performance of the prepared battery is poor.

[0101] Applicants declare that the process of the present application is illustrated by the above examples, but the present application is not limited to the above process steps, i.e. it does not mean that the present application must rely on the above process steps to be implemented. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that any improvement of the present application, equivalent replacement of the raw materials selected by the present application, addition of auxiliary ingredients, selection of specific modes, etc. fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present application.
