[0032] The preparation process is described by taking Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 as an example. First, steps (1), (2), and (3) are to synthesize Na3SbS4 according to 6Na2S+2S+Sb2O3+3H2O→2Na3SbS4+6NaOH, wherein Sb2O3 is easy to react with Na2S to generate Na3SbS3 (Sb2O3+6Na2S+3H2O→2Na3SbS3+6NaOH), and sublimed sulfur is not easy to participate in the reaction to generate Na3SbS4, so the sublimed sulfur is dissolved in the sodium sulfide solution to form polysulfide sodium, so as to reduce the generation of by-products and improve the utilization rate of sublimed sulfur; step (4) is to synthesize Na2WS4 according to WO3+2NaOH→Na2WO4+H2O and Na2WO4+4Na2S+4H2O→Na2WS4, wherein NaOH is generated by the hydrolysis of Na2S; finally, step (5) is to obtain the target product according to 0.12Na2WS4+0.88Na3SbS4→Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 by mixing the two substances obtained above.

In addition, the partial replacement and doping of Sb and S in Na3SbS4 can insert defects in the structure of Na3SbS4, so that the solid electrolyte with higher ion conductivity than Na3SbS4 can be obtained.

[0035] In one embodiment, step (1) specifically comprises dissolving Na2S·9H2O in deionized water at 70-90°C to prepare a sodium sulfide solution.

[0036] In one embodiment, the molar ratio n Na2S·9H2O ∶n Sb2O3= (6-6.2): 1 Na2S-9H2O is added to the water in step (1). Since Sb2O3 will react with sodium polysulfide solution after being added, and the side reaction will generate NaSb(OH)6 precipitate (Sb2O3+6Na2S+3H2O→2Na3SbS3+6NaOH, 2Na3SbS3+2NaOH+3H2O→2NaSb(OH)6↓+3Na2S2O3), by adding appropriate excess Na2S-9H2O, NaSb(OH)6 can be converted back to Na3SbS4 (NaSb(OH)6+4Na2S→Na3SbS4+6NaOH).

[0039] In one embodiment, the sublimed sulfur is added in a molar ratio of Sublimed sulfur is added to the sodium sulfide solution obtained in step (1). Since the reaction between Sb2O3 and sodium sulfide is very rapid, if the sublimed sulfur does not participate in the reaction in time, NaSb(OH)6 precipitate will be generated, so the amount of sublimed sulfur is increased to reduce the generation of by-products.

[0040] In one embodiment, step (3) specifically comprises: adding Sb2O3 to the sodium polysulfide solution obtained in step (2), stirring at a temperature of 70-90°C for 30-60 min, and filtering using filter paper with a pore size of ≤4 μm, to obtain a Na3SbS4 solution. Using filter paper with a pore size of ≤4 μm can sufficiently remove NaSb(OH)6 precipitate, and improve the purity of the target product.

[0041] In one embodiment, step (4) specifically comprises: adding an oxide of A (an oxide that can react with NaOH solution, such as at least one of WO3, MoO3, SnO2, SiO2, TiO2, GeO2, ZnO2, MnO2, etc.), and a Na salt of B (such as at least one of NaF, NaCl, NaBr, NaI, etc.) to the sodium sulfide solution prepared according to step (1) in a set ratio, stirring at a temperature of 70-90°C for 30-60 min, to obtain a mixed solution.

[0042] In one embodiment, before the solution after stirring in step (5) is subjected to ice bath, the method further comprises adding isopropyl alcohol to the solution after stirring. The addition of isopropyl alcohol can promote the precipitation of Na 3-x-y Sb 1-x Ax S 4-y B y ·9H2O crystal precipitates, the purity of the target product is refined, thereby improving the ionic conductivity.

[0043] In one embodiment, step (5) specifically comprises:

[0044] The solutions obtained in steps (3) and (4) are mixed in a set ratio, and then stirred at a temperature of 70-90℃ for 30 min or more to obtain a Na 3-x-y Sb 1-x A x S 4-y B y solution (x is 0

[0045] A certain amount of isopropanol is added to the obtained Na 3-x-y Sb 1-x A x S 4-y B y solution, and the obtained solution is ice-bathed at 0-5℃ for 1-2 h, then filtered using filter paper with a pore size of ≤4 μm, washed with a 10-20 wt% NaOH solution, to obtain Na 3-x- y Sb 1-x A x S 4-y B y ·9H2O crystal;

[0046] The Na 3-x-y Sb 1-x A x S 4-y B y ·9H2O crystal is vacuum dried at 60-100℃ for 12-15 h;

[0047] The dried Na 3-x-y Sb 1-x A x S 4-y B y ·9H2O is vacuum heated at 150-200℃ for 8-10 h to obtain Na 3-x- y Sb 1-x A x S 4-y B y .

[0048] The embodiment of the present application provides a modified sodium ion sulfide solid-state electrolyte, wherein the modified sodium ion sulfide solid-state electrolyte is prepared by using the low-cost preparation method for synthesizing the modified sodium ion sulfide solid-state electrolyte in an aqueous phase.

By comparison, it can be seen that Comparative Example 1 is pure phase Na3SbS4. Since the ionic radius of W 6+ and Sb 5+ are similar, it leads to Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 and Na3SbS4 have basically the same peak position. By comparison with Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Example 1), it can be seen that NIS-Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Comparative Example 2) has many impurity peaks, which proves that the product obtained without adding isopropanol is not high enough in purity, which further illustrates the importance of isopropanol in the present application to the purity of the refined solid electrolyte product.

Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Example 1) after air exposure and water absorption for 48 h has the same XRD spectrum as Na3SbS4·9H2O, indicating that a hydrate is formed. Air-exposed Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 is heated at 180°C to remove the combined water to form Reheated Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Comparative Example 3) has the same XRD spectrum as Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Example 1), indicating that Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 has high air stability.

[0081] Figure 4 The XRD diffraction peaks of S4 (Example 1), Air-exposed Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Example 1), Reheated Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Example 1 air-exposed water absorption product), and Reheated Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Comparative Example 3) are compared with NaSbS4, NaSbS4·9H2O standard card. Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Example 1) after air exposure and water absorption for 48 h has the same XRD spectrum as Na3SbS4·9H2O, indicating that a hydrate is formed. Air-exposed Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 is heated at 180°C to remove the combined water to form Reheated Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Comparative Example 3) has the same XRD spectrum as Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 (Example 1), indicating that Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4 has high air stability.2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4(Example 1), Na3SbS4(Comparative Example 1), NIS-Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4(Comparative Example 2), Reheated Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4(Comparative Example 3), NER-Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4(Comparative Example 4), Na 2.94 Sb 0.94 W 0.06 S4(Comparative Example 5), Na 2.82 Sb 0.82 W 0.18 S4(Comparative Example 6). Na 2.88 Sb 0.88 W 0.12 S4(Example 1) has the lowest impedance and is significantly better than other comparative examples. It should also be noted that in step S3, due to the solution constantly contacting air, side reactions occur (Sb2O3+ 6Na2S + 3H2O→ 2Na3SbS3+ 6NaOH, 2Na3SbS3+ 2NaOH + 3H2O→ 2NaSb(OH)6↓+ 3Na2S2O3, ) to generate NaSb(OH)6precipitate, and NaSb(OH)6can react with Na2S to regenerate Na3SbS4(NaSb(OH)6+ 4Na2S→ Na3SbS4+ 6NaOH), so in order to reduce the generation of NaSb(OH)6, the amount of reactants Na2S·9H2O and S needs to be increased to improve the purity of the product.

[0082] The results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-6 are shown in Table 1.
