Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries and relates to a hydrophobically modified lithium titanium aluminum phosphate solid electrolyte, in particular to a hydrophobically modified lithium titanium aluminum phosphate solid electrolyte and a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery. Background Art

[0002] Secondary lithium-ion batteries have been used in various fields due to their advantages such as high specific capacity, high voltage, wide temperature range, high coulombic efficiency, high cycle performance, low cost and no memory effect. However, most commercial lithium-ion batteries currently use liquid organic electrolyte solutions, which have low boiling points and are toxic, and are prone to leakage. Improper operation may even cause dangerous events such as battery explosion. Relatively speaking, all-solid-state batteries using solid electrolytes are considered safer, have longer cycle life, and higher energy density, and are a promising battery system.

[0003] Currently common solid electrolytes include sulfide solid electrolytes, oxide solid electrolytes, polymer solid electrolytes and composite solid electrolytes. Among them, lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte (LATP) has a high ionic conductivity, so it has attracted the attention of many researchers. Lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte can be used to coat, blend and coat positive and negative electrode active materials; it can also be used to coat diaphragms and primer current collectors, both of which can improve the cycle capacity and cycle life of the battery. However, lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolytes easily absorb moisture in the air, reduce ionic conductivity, and are easily corroded by water and proton hydrogen in quasi-solid-state battery electrolytes, resulting in unstable interfaces and affecting the electrochemical performance of the battery.

[0004] CN117832496A discloses a hydrophobically modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate powder material and a preparation method and application. The present invention reduces the moisture content of the LATP material and solves the water absorption problem of the LATP material through a hydrophobic modification method. Moisture content is an important indicator in the production process of lithium ion batteries. When the moisture content of the lithium ion battery raw material exceeds the standard or excessive moisture is introduced during the production process, a large amount of HF will be generated in the battery. HF has strong corrosiveness and will seriously reduce the durability and service life of the battery. By hydrophobic modification of the LATP material, on the one hand, the moisture content in the LATP material can be reduced, and on the other hand, the water absorption problem of the LATP material during storage and processing can be alleviated, thereby greatly reducing the dew point requirements for warehouses and workshops, reducing storage and production costs, and improving the durability and life of lithium ion batteries. However, the hydrophobic performance of the hydrophobically modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate powder material is insufficient, the water blocking effect is limited, and it is difficult to meet the needs of actual applications.

[0005] CN119133773A discloses a method for preparing hydrophobically modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate powder for diaphragm coating, wherein a sand milling solvent, a polymer dispersant, and a coarse LATP powder are added to a high-speed dispersion tank in proportion for stirring; the mixed solution is subjected to nano-sand milling treatment by a sand mill, and a nano-dispersed liquid having a uniform particle size distribution is prepared by sand milling; the grinding speed of the sand mill is reduced, silicone resin is added for low-speed sand milling treatment, and silicone resin is surface-coated on LATP to obtain a hydrophobically modified LATP dispersion liquid; the hydrophobically modified LATP dispersion liquid is spray-dried, and a hydrophobically modified LATP powder is obtained after drying. The preparation method is suitable for preparing LATP nano-powder for diaphragm coating, and on the one hand, the surface coating of LATP nano-powder with silicone resin can significantly reduce the water content and water absorption rate of the powder. However, the hydrophobic property of the hydrophobically modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate powder for diaphragm coating still cannot meet the needs in practical applications.

[0006] The lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte disclosed in the prior art has certain defects. The lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte easily absorbs moisture in the air, reduces ionic conductivity, and is easily corroded by water and proton hydrogen, thereby affecting the electrochemical performance of lithium ion batteries. In addition, the hydrophobic performance of the hydrophobically modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte provided in the prior art still cannot meet the needs of practical applications. Therefore, it is very important to develop and design a new type of hydrophobically modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte and its preparation method and lithium ion battery.

[0141] This comparative example provides a lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte, wherein the lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte has a chemical formula of Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 Lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (PO4)3;

[0142] The preparation method of the lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte is:

[0143] In a drying room, lithium aluminum titanium phosphate powder with a D50 particle size of 0.6 μm was dried at 400° C. for 4 h to obtain a lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte.

[0144] This comparative example also provides a lithium-ion battery, which is the same as Example 1 except that the hydrophobic modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte in the lithium-ion battery is replaced with the lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte in this comparative example.

[0145] Comparative Example 2

[0146] This comparative example provides a lithium-ion battery, except that the solid electrolyte layer attached to the surface of the positive electrode sheet is replaced with a polyethylene separator;

[0147] That is, the entire step (II) of the preparation process of the lithium-ion battery is omitted, and the step (III) "coating the electrolyte slurry on the positive electrode sheet and then drying and rolling it in sequence, compacting it to form a solid electrolyte layer, thereby obtaining a layered structure with a solid electrolyte layer bonded to the surface of the positive electrode sheet; using metallic lithium as the negative electrode sheet, assembling the negative electrode sheet with the obtained layered structure to obtain a button battery" is replaced by "using metallic lithium as the negative electrode sheet, assembling the negative electrode sheet with the obtained positive electrode sheet and a polyethylene separator to obtain a button battery", and the rest is the same as Example 1.

[0148] The hydrophobically modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte provided in Examples 1 to 9 and the lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte provided in Comparative Example 1 were placed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at a temperature of 25°C and a humidity of 20% for 7 days. Moisture content was tested using a 831 coulomb moisture meter and an 860 heating furnace. The heating furnace temperature was set to 180°C and the gas flow rate was 60 mL / min. The moisture content obtained by the test is shown in Table 1.

[0149] The hydrophobic modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolytes provided in Examples 1 to 9 and the lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte provided in Comparative Example 1 were tested by an electrochemical workstation. The diameter of the tableting mold was 17 mm, the pressure was 200 MPa, and the holding time was 10 min. The ionic conductivity was calculated according to the formula conductivity = electrolyte sheet thickness L / electrolyte sheet area S×electrolyte impedance R. The ionic conductivity obtained by the test is shown in Table 1.

[0150] The lithium ion batteries provided in the above-mentioned Examples 1 to 7 and the comparative example were left to stand for 12 hours, and then subjected to electrochemical testing, and cycled once at a rate of 0.1C, and then subjected to a cycle performance test at 1C.

[0151] Table 1

[0152]

[0153] From Table 1, we can get:

[0154] (1) The hydrophobically modified lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolytes provided in Examples 1 to 7 all have lower moisture content, higher electrical conductivity, higher 0.1C first cycle discharge specific capacity, higher first cycle coulombic efficiency and higher cycle retention rate;

[0155] (2) By comparing Example 1 with Examples 8 and 9, it can be seen that when the water bath heating temperature is 60-80°C, the hydrophobic modification effect on the lithium aluminum titanium phosphate solid electrolyte is better; this is because when the temperature is low, the chemical energy required for bond breaking during the grafting reaction is insufficient; and when the temperature is too high, the probability of collision between silane coupling agent molecules is relatively large, resulting in a large proportion of the self-polymerization reaction of the silane coupling agent, and the hydrophobic modification effect will be relatively reduced;

[0156] (3) By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that in the hydrophobically modified lithium titanium aluminum phosphate solid electrolyte provided by the present invention, the outside of the lithium titanium aluminum phosphate is coated with a siloxane coupling agent, and the hydrophobic groups in the siloxane coupling agent hydrophobically treat the hydrophilic groups on the surface of the lithium titanium aluminum phosphate, which not only reduces the moisture content of the lithium titanium aluminum phosphate, but also reduces the risk of corrosion by water and proton hydrogen, thereby improving the ionic conductivity and interface stability, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of the battery; in addition, it also improves the stability of the lithium titanium aluminum phosphate in the air, alleviates the water absorption problem of the lithium titanium aluminum phosphate during storage and processing, thereby greatly reducing the dew point requirements for warehouses and workshops, and reducing storage and production costs.

[0157] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention are within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
