Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a quasi-solid electrolyte. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries play an increasingly important role in our daily lives. They not only power our portable devices, but also drive vehicles (such as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles), and even serve as a temporary storage system for excess peak energy delivered by renewable energy sources (such as solar, wind, nuclear, and hydroelectric power). However, the energy density of commercial lithium-ion batteries is gradually approaching its theoretical limit (300Wh kg -1 ), as people's requirements for lithium battery life continue to increase, the low energy density of commonly used negative electrode material graphite has become increasingly prominent. At the same time, as the overall specific capacity of the battery increases, the battery activity becomes higher and higher, and the overall safety of lithium-ion batteries has received more and more attention. In order to further improve the energy density of the battery and reduce the overall safety risk of the battery, researchers have turned their attention to solid-state lithium metal batteries. Lithium metal has a high capacity of up to 3860mAh g -1 The theoretical specific capacity can replace the traditional graphite negative electrode (372mAh g -1 ) improves the energy density of the battery. In addition, replacing the organic liquid electrolyte with a solid electrolyte (SSE) can not only inhibit the dendrite growth and penetration of the lithium metal anode, but also eliminate the safety issues caused by leakage, vaporization, and combustion of the organic liquid electrolyte.

[0003] Nowadays, obtaining solid-state electrolytes with high lithium ion conductivity at room temperature has become a key issue in the development of all-solid-state batteries. To overcome the problem of low ionic conductivity of solid-state electrolytes, scholars are striving to develop new solid-state electrolytes with higher ionic conductivity. The solid-state electrolytes used in solid-state lithium batteries can be divided into three categories: inorganic solid-state electrolytes, organic polymer solid-state electrolytes, and composite solid electrolytes (CSEs).

[0004] The reasons why a single solid electrolyte system is difficult to be applied in practice are: inorganic solid electrolytes are brittle and have poor contact with electrodes, resulting in high interface impedance; polymer electrolytes have poor mechanical strength and low room temperature ionic conductivity (10 –5 ~10 –4(S / cm). Combining the excellent room-temperature ionic conductivity of rigid inorganic solid electrolytes and the good flexibility of flexible organic polymer electrolytes, the preparation of a rigid-flexible organic-inorganic composite electrolyte is considered a wise choice to solve the above problems. The most commonly used preparation method at present is to add zero-dimensional inorganic particles or one-dimensional inorganic fibers to the polymer. It is generally believed that the introduction of inorganic fillers reduces the crystallinity of the polymer to a certain extent, thereby increasing the conductivity of the polymer matrix. However, the contribution of the introduction of zero- or one-dimensional inorganic fillers to improving the conductivity of composite electrolytes is limited, because further increasing the content of inorganic fillers will cause the particles or fibers to tend to agglomerate, resulting in the conductivity of the composite electrolyte being difficult to further increase or even decrease. At the same time, the inorganic fillers are isolated by the polymer and cannot form a continuous and fast ion transport channel, which further limits the improvement of the conductivity of the composite electrolyte. Therefore, an inorganic filler that does not agglomerate and has a continuous ion transport channel is crucial for further improving the performance of solid electrolytes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to solve the problem that the introduction of existing zero-dimensional or one-dimensional inorganic fillers has poor effect on improving the ionic conductivity of composite electrolytes, and to provide a preparation method and application of a ceramic-polymer quasi-solid electrolyte based on a vertical array.

[0006] A preparation method of a ceramic-polymer quasi-solid electrolyte based on a vertical array is specifically completed according to the following steps:

[0007] I. Preparation of a 3D LATP ceramic framework:

[0008] ①. Dissolve polyvinyl butyral in N,N-dimethylformamide, and stir magnetically until the polyvinyl butyral is completely dissolved. Then add Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO4)3, and continue to stir magnetically until a homogeneous solution is formed to obtain a mixed solution;

[0009] ②. Cast the mixed solution onto a dry and clean glass plate by vacuum defoaming and then use a scraper to scrape it into a film. Then transfer it to a deionized water bath for phase inversion for a period of time after standing in a fume hood to obtain an LATP-PVB film, and then transfer it to an oven for drying to obtain a dry LATP-PVB film;

[0010] ③. Cut the dry LATP-PVB film into discs and place it in an air atmosphere. First, heat it to 400°C to 450°C and calcine it at 400°C to 450°C for a period of time, then heat it to 850°C to 900°C and calcine it at 850°C to 900°C for a period of time, and then cool it to room temperature to obtain a 3D LATP ceramic framework;

[0011] II. Preparation of PI-LATP electrolyte:

[0012] ① Add P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) and LiFSI to DMF, and then stir magnetically for a period of time to obtain a uniform backfill solution.

[0013] ② Drop the backfill solution onto the surface of the 3D LATP ceramic framework, and then dry it under vacuum to obtain a ceramic-polymer quasi-solid-state electrolyte based on a vertical array.

[0014] A ceramic-polymer quasi-solid-state electrolyte based on a vertical array is used to assemble a lithium metal battery.

[0015] Principle of the present invention:

[0016] Three-dimensional structures have been increasingly widely used in lithium batteries. As an inorganic filler, due to its self-supporting structure, even when the proportion in the composite electrolyte exceeds 50 vol.%, the three-dimensional framework will not agglomerate.

[0017] The present invention prepares an organic-inorganic composite electrolyte by introducing an LATP framework as a mechanical support and a lithium-ion transport channel and combining it with a flexible polymer; the LATP framework is prepared by combining the phase inversion method and the sintering method to obtain a vertically connected pore structure with self-supporting properties and a high specific surface area; the existence of this structure optimizes the distribution of LATP particles in the polymer matrix, avoids the problem of ceramic powder agglomeration, then combines it with the polymer, and introduces a lithium salt to further reduce the crystallinity of the polymer; compared with 0D and 1D inorganic fillers, this quasi-solid-state electrolyte can further shorten the lithium-ion transport path, avoid side reactions between LATP and lithium metal, and has higher ionic conductivity and stable electrochemical performance.

[0018] Advantages of the present invention:

The present invention provides a preparation method of a ceramic-polymer quasi-solid-state electrolyte based on a vertical array, and Li with vertical array pores 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7(PO4)3(LATP) ceramic framework is embedded in a poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene / lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) / LiFSI) matrix and applied in a lithium metal battery; the LATP ceramic framework has a stable self-supporting structure and a high specific surface area, enhancing the contact area between LATP and P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) / LiFSI, and there is no ceramic agglomeration phenomenon, which can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of the electrolyte; at the same time, the LATP ceramic framework can provide a vertically connected fast lithium-ion transport channel, greatly improving the conductivity of the composite electrolyte; in addition, the organic-inorganic composite electrolyte with a three-dimensional skeleton has good thermal stability and interfacial compatibility;

[0020] Second, the electrochemical performance of the vertically array-based ceramic-polymer quasi-solid electrolyte prepared in the present invention was tested. It has an ionic conductivity as high as 5.8×10 -4 S cm –1 , the lithium-ion transference number is 0.56, the electrochemical window is 4.7 V, and the assembled LiFePO4||CSE||Li full battery has an initial discharge specific capacity of 131 mAh g –1 at a rate of 1 C, and after 500 cycles, the capacity retention rate is still above 75%, indicating that the electrolyte material provided by the present invention has high cycle stability and service life.

[0054] ②. Drop 400 μL of the backfill solution onto the surface of the 3D LATP ceramic framework, and then vacuum dry it in a vacuum drying oven at 55 °C for 12 h to obtain a ceramic-polymer quasi-solid-state electrolyte (PI-LATP electrolyte) based on a vertical array.

[0055] Figure 1 is an SEM image. In the figure, (a) is a magnified view of the surface of the 3D LATP ceramic framework prepared in Example 1, (b) is a low-magnification cross-sectional view of the 3D LATP ceramic framework prepared in Example 1, (c) is a high-magnification cross-sectional view of the 3D LATP ceramic framework prepared in Example 1, (d) is a magnified view of the surface of the PI-LATP electrolyte prepared in Example 1, (e) is a low-magnification cross-sectional view of the PI-LATP electrolyte prepared in Example 1, and (f) is a high-magnification cross-sectional view of the PI-LATP electrolyte prepared in Example 1;

[0056] From Figure 1 (a) and (b) of, it can be seen that the surface of the sintered LATP ceramic framework is dense and has vertical finger-like voids inside; from Figure 1 (c) of, it can be known that the LATP particles are closely connected and there is no agglomeration phenomenon, and interconnected ceramic channels are formed.

[0063] Lithium symmetric batteries were assembled with lithium foils with a diameter of 12 mm as electrodes on both sides of the PI-LATP electrolyte prepared in Example 1, and the battery assembly was carried out in a glove box filled with argon.

[0064] Figure 4 is the limiting current density of the lithium symmetric battery assembled with the PI-LATP electrolyte prepared in Example 1;

[0066] At a current density of 0.1 mA cm –2 and a areal capacity of 0.1 mAh cm -2 , the lifespan of the lithium symmetric battery was tested, as shown in Figure 5 shown;

[0067] Figure 5 is the lifespan of the lithium symmetric battery assembled with the PI-LATP electrolyte prepared in Example 1;

[0068] From Figure 5 It can be known that: the lithium symmetric battery assembled with the PI-LATP electrolyte prepared in Example 1 has a lower overpotential, and when the battery operates for 800 h, the overpotential does not increase significantly. This indicates that there is good interfacial contact between the PI-LATP quasi-solid-state electrolyte and lithium metal, which can significantly improve the non-uniform deposition of lithium ions in the solid electrolyte.
