Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inorganic materials and new energy battery materials, and in particular to a method for preparing an oxide solid electrolyte. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have shone brightly in the energy sector, bolstered by their relatively superior performance and commercial viability. However, they suffer from a critical flaw: continuous heat release during use. Prolonged heat release can destabilize the liquid electrolyte, leading to combustion and, in more serious cases, explosion. Furthermore, the narrow electrochemical window of liquid electrolytes and poor battery cycling performance hinder their potential for use in high-capacity, high-power energy storage devices, hampering their future in electric vehicles. Currently, the electrolytes used in commonly used lithium-ion batteries are flammable and explosive liquid electrolytes, making them highly unstable and prone to safety incidents. Furthermore, the energy density of liquid electrolytes has reached a limit of 300 Wh kg⁻¹, necessitating the emergence of inorganic solid electrolytes with higher energy density and greater stability, which offer a perfect solution to these challenges. While there are many types of inorganic solid electrolytes, LiₐLa₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO) has become one of the most sought-after lithium-ion solid electrolytes by researchers due to its relatively high ionic conductivity and excellent stability against lithium metal anodes.
