[0041] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following technical effects:
[0042] (1) The present invention provides a nanofiber conductor material, which uses a fiber matrix as a support matrix, and a double - layer coating layer of a first coating layer and a second coating layer is formed from the inside to the outside on the surface of the fiber matrix. Among them, the first coating layer is made of electrochemically stable nano - metals and / or metal oxide electron conductors, and its main function is to provide a continuous and stable electron - conducting network phase to enhance electron conductivity. The second coating layer shows local dot - like coating on the surface of the first coating layer and is mainly made of sulfide solid electrolyte. The main purpose of using sulfide solid electrolyte is to subsequently apply it in the negative electrode sheet to form more continuous phases with the sulfide electrolyte and active materials inside the negative electrode sheet, thereby facilitating the provision of a three - dimensional ion - conducting continuous phase and facilitating ion conduction between negative electrode particles.

[0044] (3) The present invention provides an all-solid-state negative electrode sheet. A nanofiber conductor material with an aspect ratio is introduced into the all-solid-state negative electrode sheet. Since the nanofiber conductor material is rigid and not prone to agglomeration, deformation, or distortion, it is easy to form a three-dimensional network structure with a high specific surface area and a high interweaving dimension in the electrode sheet. There are more abundant contact sites with the negative electrode active material particles. Thus, a smooth ion and electron network channel can be provided during the expansion and contraction of the negative electrode, thereby reducing the internal resistance and improving the capacity utilization and rate performance. At the same time, the use of conventional conductive agents is eliminated, avoiding side reactions between the sulfide electrolyte and common conductive agents for the negative electrode (such as C, VGCF, CNT), optimizing the interface and the stability of the sulfide electrolyte bulk, and thus greatly improving the cycle life. In addition to the above effects, this network structure also has a slight effect of suppressing material expansion and absorbing and dispersing the stress inside the negative electrode sheet caused by high expansion and contraction during charge and discharge, avoiding stress concentration and improving the cracking situation of the negative electrode sheet during cycling, thereby indirectly optimizing the cycle performance.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the described embodiments are only for helping to understand the present invention and should not be regarded as specific limitations on the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. The process parameters without specific conditions noted in the following embodiments are usually in accordance with conventional conditions.
[0050] In the ranges disclosed in the present invention, the endpoints and any values are not limited to the exact ranges or values. These ranges or values should be understood to include values close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, between the endpoint values of each range, between the endpoint values and individual point values of each range, and between individual point values, they can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, and these numerical ranges should be regarded as specifically disclosed in the present invention.
[0051] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a nanofiber conductor material, comprising a fiber matrix, a first coating layer coated on the surface of the fiber matrix, and a second coating layer dot-coated on the surface of the first coating layer;
[0052] Wherein, the first coating layer comprises a metal and / or a metal oxide electronic conductor; the second coating layer comprises a sulfide solid electrolyte.
[0053] Specifically, the nanofiber conductor material uses the fiber matrix as a support matrix, and a double coating layer of a first coating layer and a second coating layer is formed from the inside to the outside on the surface of the fiber matrix. Among them, the first coating layer is made of electrochemically stable nano-metal and / or metal oxide electronic conductors, and its main function is to provide a continuous and stable electronic conductive network phase to improve electronic conductivity. The second coating layer is locally dot-coated on the surface of the first coating layer, that is, it does not completely cover the surface of the first coating layer. If the second coating layer completely covers the surface of the first coating layer, the nano-metal and / or metal oxide electronic conductors in the first coating layer will be covered, and the electronic conductivity between the negative electrode material particles will be lost during the subsequent processing of the electrode sheet.
[0054] The second coating layer is mainly made of a sulfide solid electrolyte. The main purpose of using the sulfide solid electrolyte is to subsequently apply it to the negative electrode sheet to form more continuous phases with the sulfide electrolyte and the active material inside the negative electrode sheet, thereby facilitating the provision of a three-dimensional ion conductive continuous phase and facilitating ion conduction between the negative electrode particles. The nanofiber conductor material is rigid, not easily agglomerated, deformed or twisted (such as Figure 1 )), and has good ion and electronic conductive properties, and can be applied to the preparation of negative electrode sheets.
[0055] There is no specific limitation on the source of the fiber matrix, which can be prepared by conventional preparation methods in the art or obtained by commercial purchase.
[0056] The size of the fiber matrix is further optimized. As an alternative implementation of the technical solution of the present invention, the length of the fiber matrix is 10-300 μm (such as 10 μm, 20 μm, 30 μm, 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 150 μm, 180 μm, 200 μm, 220 μm, 250 μm, 280 μm or 300 μm, etc.), and the diameter is 10-150 nm (such as 10 nm, 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm or 150 μm, etc.). By further limiting the length and diameter of the fiber matrix, the obtained nanofiber conductor material has a specific aspect ratio, which is beneficial to its good ion and electronic conduction ability.
[0057] As an alternative embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, the surface of the fiber matrix has one or more functional groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl or aldehyde groups. Preferably, it is a needle-shaped nanofiber with an aldehyde group on the surface, and the preferred length is 10-50 μm.
[0058] By further defining the type of functional groups on the surface of the fiber matrix and the size and shape of the fiber matrix, it is beneficial to obtain a vertically and horizontally intertwined structure with a larger specific surface area and match the thickness of the subsequent negative electrode sheet. The above-mentioned functional groups on the surface of the fiber matrix can be obtained in the following ways. For example, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine oxide (abbreviated as TEMPO), which is a stable water-soluble nitro radical, can fully oxidize the fiber structure of the fiber matrix (lignocellulose) in the suspension reaction system, and oxidize the hydroxyl group at the C6 position on the fiber surface into carboxyl and / or aldehyde groups.
[0059] In addition to the above optimizations for the fiber matrix, there are further optimizations for the composition of the first coating layer and the second coating layer.
[0060] As an alternative embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, the metal in the first coating layer includes at least one of silver, titanium, manganese or copper, preferably silver; and / or, the metal oxide electronic conductor in the first coating layer includes at least one of manganese oxide or tin oxide.
[0061] Conventional carbon materials (such as conductive carbon like SP and CNT) have an adverse effect on the sulfide electrolyte in the silicon negative electrode. However, compared with conventional carbon materials, the above-mentioned specific types of metals and / or metal oxides used in the first coating layer are more stable in terms of the electrochemical performance of the sulfide electrolyte.
[0062] As an alternative embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, the sulfide electrolyte particles in the second coating layer are mainly attached to the surface of the first coating layer in a dot-like or island-like form, that is, they are not completely coated on the surface of the first coating layer. The sulfide electrolyte includes at least one of LPSCl, LPSBr or LPSI. The above-mentioned sulfide electrolyte has high ionic conductivity and soft texture, has better contact with the active material, and is more likely to achieve all-solid state.
[0063] As an alternative embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, in the nanofiber conductor material, the mass ratio of the fiber matrix, the metal and / or metal oxide electronic conductor, and the sulfide solid electrolyte is (70-90):(5-30):(1-15). If the mass ratio of the fiber matrix in the nanofiber conductor material is too large and the mass ratio of the metal and / or metal oxide electronic conductor or the sulfide solid electrolyte is too small, it is likely to cause insufficient continuous phases for electronic conduction and ionic conduction in the nanofiber conductor material, resulting in a decrease in electronic conductance and ionic conductance when processed into a pole piece. If the mass ratio of the fiber matrix is too small and the mass ratio of the metal and / or metal oxide electronic conductor or the sulfide solid electrolyte is too large, it is likely to affect the energy density of the battery after the battery is subsequently fabricated, failing to achieve the effect of a three-dimensional framework. Therefore, typical but non-limiting mass ratios are 70:5:1, 70:5:10, 70:5:15, 70:10:1, 70:20:1, 70:30:1, 70:20:10, 70:15:15, 70:25:5, 70:30:15, 76:6:18, 76:12:12, 76:18:6, 80:5:1, 80:15:5, 80:10:10, 80:20:5, 80:20:10, 80:20:15, 80:30:5, 80:30:15, 90:5:1, 90:10:5, 90:20:10, 90:30:1, 90:30:5, 90:30:10 or 90:30:15, etc.
[0064] By further defining the mass ratio of the fiber matrix, the metal and / or metal oxide electronic conductor, and the sulfide solid electrolyte in the nanofiber conductor material, the ionic conduction and electronic conduction of the conductor material are balanced.
[0065] According to the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing the above-mentioned nanofiber conductor material of the present invention, comprising the following steps:

[0070] As an alternative embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, in step S1, the dispersion liquid containing the fiber matrix is mainly made of the fiber matrix and water.

Among them, the type of metal ions in the metal salt solution mainly corresponds to the type of metal in the first coating layer. For example, when the metal is silver, copper, manganese or titanium, the metal salt solution for forming the first coating layer can be silver nitrate, copper sulfate, manganese nitrate or titanium chloride solution, etc. The metal powder and / or metal oxide powder mainly corresponds to the type of metal and / or metal oxide in the first coating layer. For example, when the metal is silver, titanium, manganese or copper, the metal powder for forming the first coating layer is correspondingly silver powder, titanium powder, manganese powder or copper powder. When the metal oxide is manganese oxide or tin oxide, the metal oxide for forming the first coating layer is correspondingly manganese oxide powder or tin oxide powder.

The solid content of the sulfide electrolyte in the slurry B is 60-90% (for example, 60%, 70%, 80% or 90%, etc.). That is, the second coating layer can be obtained by dry mixing and ball milling the sulfide electrolyte with the fiber matrix having the first coating layer formed on its surface, or by dispersion ball milling the slurry B with the fiber matrix having the first coating layer formed on its surface.
[0074] As an alternative embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, in step S2, the mixing and stirring time is 2-3 h (for example, 2 h, 2.5 h or 3 h, etc.), and the mixing and stirring is carried out at room temperature (for example, 25±5 °C);

[0079] As an alternative embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, step S3 is completed in a drying room with a dew point less than -40 °C or in a glove box.

[0081] The all-solid-state negative electrode sheet provided by the present invention introduces a nanofiber conductor material (ionic and electronic mixed conductor) with an aspect ratio. This nanofiber conductor material is rigid, not easily agglomerated, deformed or twisted, and is easy to form a three-dimensional network structure with a high specific surface area and a high interweaving dimension in the electrode sheet ( Figure 2After silver plating, the morphology is such that there are more abundant contact sites with the negative electrode active material particles, thus providing a smooth ion-electron network channel during the expansion and contraction of the negative electrode, thereby reducing the internal resistance, improving the capacity utilization and rate performance; at the same time, the use of conventional conductive agents is eliminated, avoiding side reactions between the sulfide electrolyte and common conductive agents for the negative electrode (such as C, VGCF, CNT), optimizing the interface and the stability of the sulfide electrolyte bulk, and thus significantly improving the cycle life.

[0096] As an optional implementation of the technical solution of the present invention, in step (b), the mixing and stirring speed is 1000-1500rpm / min (for example, 1000rpm, 1200rpm, 1400rpm or 1500rpm, etc.), and the stirring time is 30-50min (for example, 30min, 40min or 50min, etc.); and / or, the heating and insulation temperature is 60-70℃ (for example, 60℃, 65℃ or 70℃, etc.), and the heating and insulation time is 30-50min (for example, 30min, 40min or 50min, etc.); and / or, the density of powder III is 0.8-1.0g / cm 3 (For example, 0.8 g / cm 3 , 0.9g / cm 3 or 1.0g / cm 3 wait).
[0097] As an alternative embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, in step (c), during air pulverization, the air pressure is 0.5 - 0.7 MPa (such as 0.5 MPa, 0.6 MPa, or 0.7 MPa, etc.); and / or, the density of powder IV is 0.7 - 0.8 g / cm 3 (such as 0.7 g / cm 3 , 0.72 g / cm 3 , 0.76 g / cm 3 or 0.8 g / cm 3 etc.).
[0098] As an alternative embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, in step (d), roll pressing and forming includes vertical roll pressing and horizontal roll pressing, and the pressure of roll pressing and forming is 5T.
[0099] For example, for vertical roll pressing of powder IV, powder IV passes through the gap between two hot pressing rolls from top to bottom and is formed under the extrusion of the two hot pressing rolls. The pressure of vertical roll pressing is 3 - 7T (such as 3T, 5T, 6T, or 7T, etc.), the temperature of vertical roll pressing is 90 - 120 °C (such as 90 °C, 100 °C, 110 °C, or 120 °C, etc.), and the gap width between the two hot pressing rolls is 1 - 10 μm (such as 1 μm, 3 μm, 5 μm, 8 μm, or 10 μm, etc.);

[0183] Experimental Example 2
[0184] The all-solid-state negative electrode sheets prepared in each example and comparative example are made into all-solid-state (laminated) batteries. The specific steps are as follows:
[0185] (a) Preparation of the positive electrode sheet: NCM811, conductive agents (SP and VGCF, mass ratio 4:1), sulfide electrolyte (LPSCl), and binder (PVDF) are dispersed in NMP according to the ratio of 70:3:25:2, and then coated on an aluminum foil and dried to obtain a positive electrode sheet with a surface density of 520 g / m 2 , and a compaction density of 3.4 g / cm 3 ;
[0186] (b) Preparation of the negative electrode sheet: The all-solid-state negative electrode sheets prepared in each example and comparative example;
[0187] (c) Preparation of the solid electrolyte membrane: The sulfide electrolyte and the binder are dispersed in a toluene solution according to the ratio of 90:10, with a solid content of 30%. Then it is coated on a PET film, and after vacuum drying, the PET layer is peeled off to obtain a solid electrolyte membrane with a thickness of 20 μm;
[0188] (d) Battery assembly: The positive electrode sheet, solid electrolyte membrane, and negative electrode sheet are cut into electrode sheets with dimensions of 50 mm × 50 mm, 54 mm × 54 mm, and 52 mm × 52 mm respectively. Subsequently, they are stacked into a laminated sheet with a capacity of 3 AH (12 layers of positive electrodes). The obtained bare battery cell is hot-pressed. The hot-pressing process parameters are: temperature of 80 °C, pressure of 1000 KG, and holding pressure time of 60 s. Finally, the hot-pressed battery cell is assembled and encapsulated with an aluminum-plastic film to obtain a all-solid-state battery.
[0189] The electrochemical performance of the all-solid-state batteries prepared in the examples and comparative examples (3 parallel battery samples are set for each group of examples and comparative examples) was tested as follows:
[0190] (1) Cycling test: Charge and discharge rate of 0.5C, voltage of 2.5V - 4.3V, charging method is constant current and constant voltage, cut-off current of 0.05C, cycle until the capacity decays to 80% of the initial capacity, and the cycle life is denoted as D (unit: cycle);
[0191] (2) Rate discharge test after 50 cycles: After the battery is cycled 50 times, it is charged to full with constant current and constant voltage at 0.5C, cut-off current of 0.05C, cut-off voltage of 4.3V, and then discharged uniformly at 4C. The discharge capacity is denoted as K (unit: AH), the discharge capacity of the first cycle at 0.5C is denoted as C0 (unit: AH), and the 4C discharge retention rate is denoted as F, F = K / C0 × 100%;
[0192] (3) Charge and discharge test after 60 cycles: After the battery is cycled 60 times, it is charged to full with constant current and constant voltage at 4C, cut-off current of 0.05C, cut-off voltage of 4.3V. The charging constant current ratio is denoted as Q, and then discharged to 2.5V at 0.5C. The discharge capacity is denoted as C60, and the discharge retention rate is denoted as F2, F2 = C60 / C0 × 100%;
[0193] (4) Battery cell thickness change test: The thickness of the battery cell under a pressure of 200 kg in the dilatometer is denoted as E, the thickness after full charge in the second cycle is denoted as E1, the thickness after full charge in the 51st cycle is denoted as E2, and the thickness after full charge when the capacity decays to 80% of the initial capacity is denoted as E3. The initial expansion change rate H1 = (E1 - E) / E, the expansion change rate in the 51st cycle H2 = (E2 - E) / E, and the change rate when reduced to 80% of the initial capacity is denoted as H3, H3 = (E3 - E) / E;
[0194] (5) Battery cell internal resistance (DCR) test: After the battery cell is cycled 52 times, it is first charged to 0.5C0 at a rate of 0.1C, and the voltage V1 at this moment is recorded after leaving it for 30 min. Then it is charged at a rate of 2C for 10 s to obtain the voltage V2 at the 10th s. The internal resistance is denoted as R, R = (V2 - V1) / 2C;
[0195] (6) After individual battery cells are cycled 70 times and fully charged, they are disassembled to observe the appearance of the negative electrode surface.
[0196] The test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0202]
[0203] For each item of Examples 6 - 14, the data is better than that of Comparative Example 6, indicating that the stability and rate performance of the nanofiber conductor material (nanofiber hybrid conductor) are stronger than those of conductive carbon.
[0204] Comparing Example 6 and Example 7, the former has higher F, D, and Q, and lower H2, H3, and R, indicating that the high aspect ratio of the nanofiber conductor material is beneficial for better ion - electron conduction of the negative electrode during volume change, improving swelling, thereby reducing impedance and enhancing rate performance and cycle life.
[0205] Comparing Example 6 and Example 8, the latter has significantly lower Q and D, indicating that the method of ball - milling and coating silver is less stable than the method of in - situ replacement silver plating, probably because silver falls off the nanofibers during subsequent cycles.
[0206] Comparing Example 6 with Examples 11 and 12 shows that the proportion of the nanofiber conductor material in the negative electrode should not be too much. Too much may damage the toughness of the negative electrode sheet, and too little may not achieve the three - dimensional effect.
[0207] Comparing Example 6 with Examples 13 and 14 shows that the ratio of the amount of the nanofiber conductor material to the amount of the sulfide solid electrolyte is preferably balanced. If there is too much nanofiber conductor material, the electronic conductivity is good and the rate performance is good, but with the progress of cycling, the ionic conductance transmission gradually deteriorates; if there is too much sulfide solid electrolyte, it may shield part of the electronic path, and with the volume expansion and contraction, the contact sites between the negative electrode active material particles and silver gradually decrease, affecting the cycle performance.
[0208] Comparing Example 6 with Comparative Examples 4 and 5, since nanofibers are used in both, the swelling rate has been correspondingly improved. From the perspective of capacity performance, rate performance, and cycle life, it shows that the silver in the first coating layer on the negative electrode side has higher stability for the sulfide solid electrolyte than carbon - based conductive agents.
[0209] Comparing Example 6 with Comparative Example 7, all parameters of Comparative Example 7 are poor, indicating that PVDF may be unstable at the negative electrode. At the same time, high-speed liquid-phase dispersion may lead to uneven dispersion of the nanofiber mixed conductor or damage the structure, failing to achieve a three-dimensional network of high-latitude interweaving.
[0210] Comparing Example 10 with the comparative example shows that the second coating layer of nanofibers can firmly form a continuous phase for conducting ions with three-dimensional interweaving, so as to better form better contact sites with the active material in subsequent cycles, which is beneficial to the improvement of cycle life.
[0211] In addition, after the full charge and disassembly of the battery cells prepared in Example 6 and Comparative Example 6 after 70 cycles, they are respectively as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown. It can be seen that there is lithium deposition around the negative electrode sheet of Comparative Example 6, and the large area is prone to cracking, which may be caused by uneven internal stress due to volume change. There is no such situation in Example 6, indicating that the nanofiber conductor material has the effect of suppressing expansion and improving the cracking of the negative electrode sheet with a high silicon content.
[0212] The above data also prove that the high-latitude and high-interweaving network structure formed in the negative electrode sheet has the advantages of electrochemical stability, suppressing expansion, improving rate performance, and dispersing the stress of volume expansion and contraction to improve the cracking of the negative electrode sheet.
[0213] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are within the scope of the claims of the present invention awaiting approval.
