Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solid-state batteries, and particularly relates to a positive electrode interface coating process for all-solid-state batteries. Background Art

[0002] All-solid-state battery is a battery technology that uses solid electrolytes instead of traditional liquid electrolytes. Compared with traditional lithium-ion batteries, all-solid-state batteries show significant advantages in terms of safety, energy density, etc. The energy density of all-solid-state batteries is several times that of traditional lithium-ion batteries, which means that more energy can be stored in the same volume. Since solid electrolytes are not flammable, non-corrosive, and non-volatile, the safety performance of all-solid-state batteries is greatly enhanced. All-solid-state batteries have a longer cycle life.

[0003] When using aluminum foil as the positive electrode material in all-solid-state batteries, on the one hand, aluminum foil is prone to oxidation reaction in a high-voltage environment to form an aluminum oxide layer, which may lead to a decline in battery performance; on the other hand, the interfacial impedance between aluminum foil and solid electrolyte is large, which will affect the charge-discharge efficiency and cycle life of the battery. Therefore, in order to improve the electrochemical stability of aluminum foil and reduce the interfacial impedance, a slurry / material with good conductivity and good compatibility with the electrolyte can be coated on the surface of the aluminum foil to form a protective layer.

[0004] Existing coating slurries for positive electrodes generally contain components such as active substances (such as lithium cobaltate), conductive agents (such as carbon nanotubes), binders, and solvents. Poor combination of these components will increase the internal resistance of the battery, which will not only reduce the charge-discharge efficiency of the battery, but also accelerate the battery aging process and shorten its service life. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the problems in the background art, the present invention provides a positive electrode interface coating process for all-solid-state batteries, which can significantly improve the cycle stability and service life of the prepared batteries.

[0014] Furthermore, the nanoparticles are nano-aluminum oxide powder.

[0015] Furthermore, the preparation method of the silanized polyethylene glycol:

[0019] B4. Add n-hexane to the final-product solution obtained in B3 to completely precipitate the final-product, and place the final-product in a vacuum drying oven and dry it at 50 °C to obtain the silanized polyethylene glycol.

[0020] Furthermore, the conductive agent is acid-washed carbon nanotubes.

[0021] Furthermore, the preparation method of the pickled carbon nanotubes is as follows: Mix the carbon nanotubes and the concentrated acid solution at a mass ratio of 1:(2 - 3), react at 60°C for 10 - 12 hours under magnetic stirring, then cool to room temperature, perform centrifugal separation, wash with deionized water multiple times, and dry in vacuum to obtain the pickled carbon nanotubes.

[0031] 2. The acid-washed carbon nanotubes of the present invention are treated by surface acid washing, and both the binding active sites and the surface roughness are increased; the silanized polyethylene glycol graft-modified nanoparticles (silanized polyethylene glycol graft-modified aluminum trioxide) can not only chemically react with the cathode material / electrolyte through the silane groups on their surfaces to form stable chemical bonds, thereby enhancing the interfacial stability, reducing the interfacial impedance, and improving the cycling performance of the battery; but also generate van der Waals forces and other interactions between the polyethylene glycol segments and the rough surface of the acid-washed carbon nanotubes, thus forming a tight bond. This tight bond helps to firmly fix the acid-washed carbon nanotubes in the electrode, preventing their displacement or detachment during the charge and discharge process, thereby improving the cycling stability and cycling service life of the prepared battery; there is a synergistic effect between the silanized polyethylene glycol graft-modified nanoparticles and the acid-washed carbon nanotubes of the present invention, which can synergistically improve the cycling stability and service life of the prepared battery.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0034] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the examples.

Add 22 g of toluene diisocyanate and 10 g of dibutyltin dilaurate, and stir and react at room temperature under nitrogen protection at 100 r / min for 24 h.

The silyl group is introduced by the reaction of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane with the isocyanate groups in the pre-product.

[0040] B4. Add n-hexane to the final product solution obtained in B3 to completely precipitate the final product. Place the final product in a vacuum drying oven and dry it at 50 °C to obtain the silylated polyethylene glycol.

Immerse the nano-aluminum oxide powder in the chromic acid solution for 2 h to remove impurities and oxide layers on the surface of the nanoparticles and increase the active sites on its surface. The concentration of the chromic acid solution is 1.2 M, and this concentration is sufficient to effectively clean and activate the surface of the nano-aluminum oxide powder without causing excessive corrosion or damage to the nano-aluminum oxide powder itself. Then wash it successively with deionized water and absolute ethanol to remove the residual acidic solution and impurities.

Finally, take it out and dry, wash it successively with toluene, acetone and deionized water, and then put it into a vacuum drying oven for drying under reduced pressure at room temperature to remove the unreacted silylated polyethylene glycol and other impurities, thus obtaining pure silylated polyethylene glycol grafted and modified nanoparticles.

[0045] Among them, nano-aluminum oxide powder (YHL-8891) was purchased from Pengyi Mineral Products Processing Factory, Lingshou County.

Preparation of the solid electrolyte: Weigh 0.6 g of electrolyte powder (Li 5.8 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 ) in an agate mortar and grind it for 10 min to obtain a powder with uniform particles. Then, put the powder into a mold with a diameter of 13 mm and use a tablet press to press it into a green body; after the obtained green body disc is pressed into a dense green body under 250 MPa, place it in an alumina crucible covered with a layer of mother powder of the same composition, and cover the dense green body with another layer of mother powder to form a lithium-rich sintering atmosphere, and sinter it at 1060 °C for 10 h; after sintering, scrape off the mother powder and polish it with 1000# sandpaper until the surface is flat to obtain it. The positive electrode material uses the positive electrode for all-solid-state batteries prepared by the above coating process.

[0074] Example 7: The difference between this example and Example 1 lies in: (5) A positive electrode interface coating process for an all-solid-state battery, including the following steps:

[0076] S2. The coating slurry obtained in S1 was roll-coated onto an aluminum foil sheet and dried to obtain the positive electrode for the all-solid-state battery, with a surface loading of 5.7 mg / cm 2 .

[0077] Comparative Example 1: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 lies in: In the preparation of the coating slurry, the acid-washed carbon nanotubes were replaced with carbon nanotubes, and the silanized polyethylene glycol graft-modified nanoparticles were replaced with nano-aluminum oxide powder.

[0078] Specifically, by weight parts, 82 parts of lithium cobaltate, 6 parts of carbon nanotubes, 10 parts of binder carboxymethyl cellulose, 50 parts of water, 5 parts of nano-aluminum trioxide powder, and 4.5 parts of electrolyte powder are mixed in a disperser and stirred at a speed of 200 r / min for 30 min to achieve a uniform mixing effect, obtaining a coating slurry.

[0079] Comparative Example 2: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 lies in that: in the preparation of the coating slurry, the silanized polyethylene glycol graft-modified nanoparticles are replaced by nano-aluminum trioxide powder.

[0080] Specifically, by weight parts, 82 parts of lithium cobaltate, 6 parts of pickled carbon nanotubes, 10 parts of binder carboxymethyl cellulose, 50 parts of water, 5 parts of nano-aluminum trioxide powder, and 4.5 parts of electrolyte powder are mixed in a disperser and stirred at a speed of 200 r / min for 30 min to achieve a uniform mixing effect, obtaining a coating slurry.

[0081] Comparative Example 3: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 lies in that: in the preparation of the coating slurry, the pickled carbon nanotubes are replaced by carbon nanotubes.

[0082] Specifically, by weight parts, 82 parts of lithium cobaltate, 6 parts of carbon nanotubes, 10 parts of binder carboxymethyl cellulose, 50 parts of water, 5 parts of silanized polyethylene glycol graft-modified nanoparticles, and 4.5 parts of electrolyte powder are mixed in a disperser and stirred at a speed of 200 r / min for 30 min to achieve a uniform mixing effect, obtaining a coating slurry.

[0083] Test Example: Test objects: The batteries prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-5.

[0084] Test content: Under the conditions of 60 °C and 0.2C, the capacity retention rates of each test object are tested for 50 cycles and 100 cycles; and the capacity decline rates of two consecutive 50-cycle cycles (the capacity decline rate of the first 50-cycle cycle and the capacity decline rate of the second 50-cycle cycle) are calculated, as well as the difference between the two (the difference in the capacity decline rates of two consecutive 50-cycle cycles).

[0085] The capacity decline rate of the first 50-cycle cycle = 100% - the capacity retention rate of the 50-cycle cycle;

[0086] The capacity decline rate of the second 50-cycle cycle = 100% - the capacity retention rate of the 100-cycle cycle - the capacity decline rate of the first 50-cycle cycle;

[0087] The difference in the capacity decline rates of two consecutive 50-cycle cycles = the capacity decline rate of the second 50-cycle cycle - the capacity decline rate of the first 50-cycle cycle.

[0088] The larger the measured data values of the capacity retention rate of the 50-cycle cycle and the capacity retention rate of the 100-cycle cycle, the longer the service life of the battery.

[0089] The smaller the difference in the capacity decline rate between two consecutive 50 - cycle periods, the more stable the capacity attenuation rate of the battery, indicating that the battery has better cycle stability and a longer expected service life, which is an important advantage for the long - term use and reliability of the battery.

[0090] Test results: See Table 1.

[0091] Table 1. Test data of test examples

[0092]

[0093]

[0094] Result analysis: Analyze Examples 1 - 7 and combine with the data in Table 1 and Figure 1-2 It can be seen that the capacity retention rate of the battery prepared by the present invention is as high as over 95.5% after 50 cycles and over 89.6% after 100 cycles; moreover, the difference in the capacity decline rate between two consecutive 50 - cycle periods is as low as below 1.6%; this shows that the battery prepared by the present invention has a long service life and a stable capacity attenuation rate, that is, it has good cycle stability and a long expected service life.

[0095] Analyze Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 and combine with the data in Table 1 and Figure 1-2 It can be seen that compared with Comparative Example 1 (using ordinary nano - aluminum oxide powder and carbon nanotubes), in Comparative Example 2, the carbon nanotubes were made into the pickled carbon nanotubes of the present invention for use, and as a result, the capacity retention rates of the prepared battery after 50 cycles and 100 cycles both decreased, while the difference in the capacity decline rate between two consecutive 50 - cycle periods remained basically unchanged. This shows that when using ordinary nano - aluminum oxide powder, pickling the carbon nanotubes will instead lead to a shortened service life of the prepared battery.

[0096] This is because, on the one hand, the binding ability between the pickled carbon nanotubes and ordinary nano - aluminum oxide powder is insufficient, and the synergistic effect of the two cannot be fully exerted, so the improvement effect on the battery service life is limited; on the other hand, the pickling treatment overly erodes the surface of the carbon nanotubes, destroys their original structural integrity, and introduces new defects / impurities on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. These defects / impurities act as obstacles to electron / ion transport, resulting in a decrease in the battery service life; with this ebb and flow, it will lead to the situation that when using ordinary nano - aluminum oxide powder and pickling the carbon nanotubes, not only will the battery service life not be improved, but instead the battery service life will decrease.

[0097] Analyze Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 and combine with the data in Table 1 and Figure 1-2It can be seen that, compared with Comparative Example 1 (using ordinary nano-aluminum oxide powder and carbon nanotubes), in Comparative Example 3, the nano-aluminum oxide powder was made into the silanized polyethylene glycol grafted modified nanoparticles of the present invention for use, and as a result, the capacity retention rates of the battery after 50 and 100 cycles were both increased, and the difference in the capacity decline rate for two consecutive 50-cycle periods remained basically unchanged. This shows that making the nano-aluminum oxide powder into the silanized polyethylene glycol grafted modified nanoparticles of the present invention can improve the service life of the battery obtained.

[0098] Analyze Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 and combine the data in Table 1 and Figure 1-2 It can be seen that, compared with Comparative Example 3, while retaining the use of the silanized polyethylene glycol grafted modified nanoparticles of the present invention, in Example 1, the carbon nanotubes were made into the pickled carbon nanotubes of the present invention for use, and as a result, the capacity retention rates of the battery after 50 and 100 cycles were further increased, and moreover, the difference in the capacity decline rate for two consecutive 50-cycle periods was significantly reduced.
