Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solid-state lithium metal batteries, and particularly relates to a double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for solid-state batteries. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, and the requirements for energy density and long battery life are getting higher and higher. Compared with commercial electrolytes, lithium metal batteries using inorganic solid electrolytes are expected to alleviate "battery anxiety" because they have potentially higher energy density and inherently relatively better safety.

[0003] Among inorganic electrolytes, garnet-type oxide electrolytes have attracted much attention due to their high lithium-ion conductivity (>10 -4 S cm -1 ) at room temperature, thermal stability, and wide electrochemical window. The most widely studied Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) exists in two different polymorphs - tetragonal phase and cubic phase, and the ionic conductivity of the cubic phase is two orders of magnitude higher than that of the tetragonal phase. Heterovalent doping at the cation position, usually at the Li + or Zr 4+ site, is a common method to stabilize the cubic phase. Al 3+ and Ga 3+ ions have been used to partially replace the Li + site to stabilize the cubic phase, thereby increasing the lithium-ion conductivity of LLZO. In particular, Ga-doped LLZO derivatives exhibit an ionic conductivity exceeding 10 -3 S cm -1 at room temperature, but Ga is a rare earth element with high cost, which limits its practical application. In addition, doping of high-valence elements into the Zr 4+ position, such as Ta 5+ , Nb 5+ , and W 6+ , can also promote the disordering of the Li + sublattice by introducing lithium vacancies in the lattice, thereby promoting the stabilization of the cubic phase and rapid ionic conduction. However, compared with liquid electrolytes, their lithium-ion conductivity is still low.

[0004] Another major challenge in the practical application of garnet electrolytes is that in order to obtain dense ceramic particles, they usually need to be sintered at high temperatures (>1200 °C) for a long time, or special sintering techniques such as spark plasma sintering (SPS), hot isostatic pressing (HIP), microwave-assisted sintering, and field-assisted sintering are adopted. These methods usually result in high energy consumption and limit large-scale production. Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover garnet electrolytes with new components to improve their ionic conductivity limit and reduce the preparation temperature of material synthesis.

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for solid-state batteries, which has high ionic conductivity and a relatively mild preparation temperature. The cerium-based garnet electrolyte is optimized by double-doping design with Zr and Ta, and garnet ceramic powders and ceramic sheets with new components are obtained by solid-phase method technology. Compared with zirconium-based garnet electrolytes, cerium-based garnets have larger lattice sizes to expand the bottleneck size of ion transport; the double-doping of Zr and Ta plays a role in stabilizing the cubic phase structure of the material to enhance the ionic conductivity of the material. In addition, cerium elements are found to be able to effectively improve the density of the material and reduce the sintering temperature of the ceramic. Finally, a new component of cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity at room temperature and a relatively mild preparation temperature is obtained. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for solid-state batteries, which has high ionic conductivity and a relatively mild preparation temperature. The cerium-based garnet electrolyte is optimized by double-doping design with Zr and Ta, and garnet ceramic powders and ceramic sheets with new components are obtained by solid-phase method technology. Compared with zirconium-based garnet electrolytes, cerium-based garnets have larger lattice sizes to expand the bottleneck size of ion transport; the double-doping of Zr and Ta plays a role in stabilizing the cubic phase structure of the material to enhance the ionic conductivity of the material. In addition, cerium elements are found to be able to effectively improve the density of the material and reduce the sintering temperature of the ceramic. Finally, a new component of cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity at room temperature and a relatively mild preparation temperature is obtained. In short, the present invention solves the problem of low room-temperature ionic conductivity of current garnet materials; effectively reduces the preparation temperature of garnet electrolytes; and effectively reduces the cost of garnet electrolyte raw materials.

[0009] As an improvement to the double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for the solid-state battery of the present invention, the crystal phase of the electrolyte is a cubic phase. XRD and Raman characterizations are used to ensure that the obtained phase is a cubic phase.

[0010] As an improvement to the double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for the solid-state battery of the present invention, the highest ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at 25 °C is 1.1 mS·cm -1 .

[0012] As an improvement to the double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for the solid-state battery of the present invention, 0 < y < 1.5.

[0013] As an improvement to the double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for the solid-state battery of the present invention, its preparation method at least includes the following steps:

[0014] First step, prepare ceramic powder by solid-phase method. Mix the oxide raw materials evenly in proportion and calcine at high temperature to obtain cubic-phase double-doped cerium-based Li 5+x+y La 3 Ce x Zr y Ta 2-x-y O 12 ceramic powder;

[0015] Second step, after ball-milling the powder obtained in the first step to reduce the particle size, press it into tablets and sinter at 1050 - 1100 °C to obtain a ceramic sheet for high-performance solid-state batteries.

[0016] As an improvement to the double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for the solid-state battery of the present invention, in the first step, the oxide raw materials include a lithium source, a lanthanum source, a cerium source, a zirconium source, and a tantalum source; among them, the lithium source is at least one of lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, lithium oxide, and lithium nitrate; the lanthanum source is at least one of lanthanum dioxide, lanthanum chloride, and lanthanum nitrate; the cerium source is at least one of cerium dioxide, cerium hydroxide, and cerium oxalate; the zirconium source is at least one of zirconium dioxide, zirconium nitrate, and zirconium sulfate; the tantalum source is at least one of tantalum pentoxide and tantalum oxalate. Preferably, the raw materials prepared are a mixed oxide powder of lithium carbonate, lanthanum trioxide, cerium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, and tantalum pentoxide calcined in proportion according to the chemical formula.

[0017] As an improvement to the double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for the solid-state battery of the present invention, the calcination temperature in the first step is 900 - 1000 °C, and the calcination time is 4 - 6 hours.

[0018] As an improvement to the double-doped cerium-based garnet electrolyte with high ionic conductivity for the solid-state battery of the present invention, the particle size of the particles after ball-milling in the second step is below 300 nm, and the sintering temperature is 1050 - 1100 °C.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] First, solve the problem of low ionic conductivity of the widely used LLZO-based garnet electrolyte at present. Specifically, the room-temperature ionic conductivity of LLZO materials is generally on the order of 10 -4 S·cm -1 order of magnitude. The Ga-doped LLZO derivatives exhibit an ionic conductivity exceeding 10 -3 S·cm -1 at room temperature, but Ga, as a rare earth element, has a high cost, which limits its practical application. Therefore, compared with liquid electrolytes, the ionic conductivity of LLZO and its derivatives is still low. Ce in the cerium-based garnet electrolyte 4+Due to its larger ionic radius, it can improve the ionic transport efficiency of the material. In addition, by double-doping with Zr and Ta elements, the cubic phase is stabilized, achieving a high room-temperature ionic conductivity (1.1 mS·cm at 25 degrees). -1 )

[0021] Second, solve the technical problem of the harsh preparation conditions of garnet electrolytes and effectively reduce the sintering temperature; Garnet electrolytes usually need to be sintered at high temperatures (>1200 °C) for a long time, or special sintering techniques are used. These methods usually result in high energy consumption and limit large-scale production. Cerium elements are found to be able to effectively improve the density of the material. Cubic-phase cerium-based garnet electrolyte lithium lanthanum cerium zirconium tantalum oxide can effectively reduce the sintering temperature of the material (1050 - 1100 °C).

[0022] Third, effectively reduce the raw material cost. The extraction and refining process of Zr is relatively complex, and its reserves on the earth are relatively small, resulting in a relatively high production cost and a relatively high price. While lithium lanthanum cerium zirconium tantalum oxide uses Ce as one of the main elements at the B site. Ce is one of the rare earth elements with a relatively high abundance. Its mining and extraction are relatively easy, and the market supply is relatively sufficient, so the price is relatively low. Brief Description of the Drawings
