Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-temperature-resistant solid-state electrolyte film and application thereof in integrated solid-state batteries. BACKGROUND

[0002] High-temperature secondary batteries have broad application prospects in the fields of oil drilling, fire warning, commercial spaceflight, etc. At present, the mainstream high-temperature batteries are mostly molten salt batteries, which usually work in the temperature range of 200 DEG C to 600 DEG C. This type of battery has some unique advantages, such as high energy density, good thermal stability and chemical stability, etc. However, they also have some disadvantages and challenges: ① The starting and stopping process of the molten salt high-temperature battery may take a long time, which limits its response speed and flexibility; ② Due to the special materials and complex thermal management system required, the manufacturing and maintenance cost of the molten salt high-temperature battery is relatively high; ③ The molten salt is liquid at high temperature, and if leakage occurs, it may cause serious safety problems; ④ The excessively high working temperature increases the system complexity, while limiting its application scenarios. Therefore, the development of a new type of high-temperature-resistant secondary battery has become the research focus of the power supply of special equipment.

[0003] Inorganic solid-state batteries use high-temperature-resistant inorganic solid-state electrolytes, and have natural high-temperature-resistant operation potential. In addition, compared with molten salt high-temperature batteries, inorganic solid-state batteries have a very wide temperature range from subzero to high temperature, and have broader and more flexible application prospects. However, the batch production of high-temperature-resistant inorganic solid-state batteries first needs to overcome the preparation of high-temperature-resistant solid-state electrolyte films. The traditional solid-state electrolyte film cannot be separated from the polymer organic binder, but at high temperatures, such an organic binder is extremely easy to decompose and react with the solid-state electrolyte, damaging the high-temperature performance of the solid-state battery. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a solid-state electrolyte film preparation method without organic binder to meet the growing demand for high-temperature batteries. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problem that the organic binder required for the batch production of traditional inorganic solid-state electrolyte films is easy to decompose at high temperatures, leading to rapid failure of high-temperature batteries, and to provide a preparation method of a high-temperature-resistant solid-state electrolyte film and application thereof in integrated solid-state batteries. By intercrossing a special meltable inorganic solid-state electrolyte with a traditional inorganic solid-state electrolyte (sulfide, oxide, halide solid-state electrolyte) through melt bonding at high temperature, a solid-state electrolyte film with inorganic binder (meltable inorganic solid-state electrolyte) is prepared. In addition, by means of melt infiltration process, the in-situ integrated preparation of the positive electrode and the negative electrode is realized on the basis of the above-mentioned high-temperature-resistant solid-state electrolyte film, which significantly improves the interface of the inorganic solid-state battery and significantly improves the high-temperature-resistant performance of the battery.

[0058] The present application uses fusible solid-state electrolyte as a binder to bond traditional inorganic solid-state electrolyte, avoiding the challenge of high-temperature decomposition of traditional organic binders, while enhancing the density of the electrolyte. Combined with the preparation of integrated solid-state batteries, the interface contact between the electrodes is optimized, avoiding the use of conductive carbon in the battery which is detrimental to the solid-state electrolyte, significantly improving the cycle capacity of the battery at high temperature. Importantly, using fusible solid-state electrolyte as a binder also widens the use temperature of high-temperature-resistant batteries, making up for the disadvantage of traditional molten salt high-temperature-resistant batteries that can only be used at high temperature, so that the developed high-temperature batteries can also operate at room temperature or even subzero temperature. For example,Figure 1 As shown in the schematic diagram, the electrolyte film using the fusible solid electrolyte as the binder has better compactness and is more resistant to decomposition at high temperatures. As shown in the schematic diagram, Figure 2 the interface contact between the electrodes of the integrated solid-state battery is good, the internal pores of the electrodes are few, and there is no carbon component that is not conducive to high temperature. As shown in the schematic diagram, Figure 3 As shown in the schematic diagram, the integrated high-temperature batteries assembled in Examples 1-3 have better cycle performance than Comparative Examples 1-3 at 150°C.
