Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of solid electrolyte, and particularly relates to a hydrotalcite cellulose composite film, a preparation method thereof, a solid electrolyte film, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have been considered as an efficient energy storage system based on their energy density, power density, reliability and stability, and have occupied an irreplaceable position in the research of many fields in the past few decades. Since Sony commercialized lithium ion batteries in 1991, portable electronic devices have been inseparable from lithium ion batteries, not only electric vehicles, but also smart grids, lithium ion batteries play a key role. Energy storage devices have gradually increased people's requirements due to the development of technology and the improvement of the quality of life, such as higher volume energy density and power load balancing. However, the above requirements cannot be met by the current lithium ion batteries. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new lithium batteries to meet the requirements of the new era. Safety performance and energy density are the two major problems of the current liquid lithium ion battery. The liquid lithium ion battery mainly uses dimethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate and other carbonate compounds, which have low volatility and flash point, thus easily causing the flammability of the electrolyte. In addition, dendritic crystals may appear on the surface of the negative electrode, thus penetrating the membrane and causing the battery to catch fire.

[0003] However, as the demand for advanced energy storage continues to increase, the highest energy storage potential of lithium-ion batteries cannot meet the market energy storage density even if it is fully developed to the highest theoretical energy density of the current commercial system. In order to adapt to the requirement of higher energy density in the future, it is necessary to develop all-solid-state metal lithium batteries. The most important part is the solid-state electrolyte. According to the different components of the electrolyte, the solid-state electrolyte is mainly divided into inorganic solid-state electrolyte, polymer solid-state electrolyte and composite solid-state electrolyte. The existing polymer solid-state electrolyte has good elasticity and adaptability to volume change, and is widely used in flexible batteries. However, the polymer is easy to crystallize at room temperature, resulting in low ionic conductivity, and the thermodynamic instability of the interface limits their compatibility with high-voltage positive electrode materials. The poor mechanical properties cannot inhibit the growth of dendrites. Although the inorganic solid-state electrolyte has high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical window and satisfactory mechanical strength, its brittleness and fragility lead to poor processability and large interface resistance. Therefore, the combination of inorganic solid-state electrolyte and organic solid-state electrolyte in the form of composite solid-state electrolyte is used to solve the above problems of the two kinds of solid-state electrolytes, and the synergistic effect of different materials is realized. The inorganic solid-state electrolyte not only improves the mechanical strength of the polymer electrolyte, but also improves the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. Due to the interaction between the solid-state electrolytes, the redox stability of the electrolyte is increased, thereby prolonging the electrochemical window. The composite solid-state electrolyte with excellent ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability and excellent mechanical strength provides great potential for the application of the next generation of all-solid-state metal lithium batteries. However, the mechanical properties of the organic-inorganic composite electrolyte are poor, which cannot effectively inhibit the growth of dendrites. In addition, the inherent shortcomings of the polymer may limit the thermal and electrochemical stability of the organic-inorganic composite electrolyte. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a hydrotalcite cellulose composite film and a preparation method thereof, a solid-state electrolyte film and a preparation method thereof, and a lithium battery.

After the 2.0C cycle, when the current density returned to 0.1C, the discharge capacity of the Li|LA-Cel|LFP battery recovered to 154.3 mAh / g, which is 97.8% of the initial capacity.

[0124] from Figure 8 It can be seen that under 0.5C conditions, the LA-Cel solid electrolyte membrane shows good cycling performance in 1000 cycles, with a discharge capacity of 127.4 mAh / g after cycling and a capacity retention rate of 91.4%.

[0125] Example 7

[0126] Mechanical performance testing of the solid electrolyte membrane prepared in Example 3 was performed. Tensile testing of the LA-Cel solid electrolyte demonstrated excellent flexibility. Therefore, the LA-Cel solid electrolyte exhibits excellent mechanical properties, effectively suppresses lithium dendrite growth, and provides good contact between the positive and negative electrodes, suggesting promising application prospects.

[0127] from Figure 9It can be seen that the stress of LA-Cel solid electrolyte reaches 23.24 MPa, and the strain reaches 45.32%.

[0128] Example 8

[0129] According to the method in Example 3, the composite solid electrolyte is prepared, and the difference is that a large container is used, and the amount of reagent used is increased, that is, the solid electrolyte film prepared in batches can be obtained. LA-Cel solid electrolyte films of different sizes are prepared, with a diameter of 1.6 cm to 11 m or even larger, so as to illustrate that the LA-Cel electrolyte film can be prepared in large quantities.

[0130] Figure 10 In order to obtain the physical map of the obtained LA-Cel solid electrolyte film with different areas, from Figure 10 It can be seen that the solid electrolyte films prepared in different scales have similar appearances and no obvious difference.

[0131] Although the above examples make a detailed description of the present application, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments, and other embodiments can be obtained according to the present embodiments without creativity, which belong to the protection scope of the present application.
