Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid electrolyte technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a PEO-based solid lithium-sulfur battery without a negative electrode. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered one of the most promising energy storage systems due to their high energy density, high theoretical specific capacity, low cost, and non-toxicity. Currently, solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries with polymer solid electrolytes (SSEs) have great development potential due to their high flexibility and reliable safety; the ability to suppress uncontrollable Li dendrites and the flammability of liquid electrolytes; and their good interfacial compatibility compared to inorganic solid electrolytes. Among them, polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes have advantages such as low cost, good mechanical stability, good electrode compatibility, and good film-forming ability. However, previous reports have shown that at operating temperatures, PEO cannot effectively block the shuttle of long-chain lithium polysulfides, which dissolve into the PEO-based electrolyte, leading to the loss of active materials in the battery. Furthermore, the inherent volume expansion and low ionic / electronic conductivity of lithium-sulfur batteries result in relatively low sulfur loading in PEO-based solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries.
[0003] This invention dissolves long-chain lithium polysulfides and iodine-coated LLZTO in PEO. The presence of LLZTO provides a transport pathway for lithium ions in the high-concentration electrolyte. Lithium iodide is generated in situ on the LLZTO, forming a tight and uniform coating layer. Iodine-coated LLZTO can further increase the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte by promoting the stripping and recovery of lithium ions, and can also make the lithium ion transport in the electrolyte more uniform and stable. The saturation of lithium polysulfides in the PEO electrolyte effectively prevents further dissolution of lithium polysulfides on the electrode. In addition, the high-concentration solid polymer electrolyte can also reduce the crystallinity of PEO. Lithium carboxymethyl cellulose / styrene-butadiene rubber is used as a water-soluble binder in the sulfur cathode, which can alleviate the volume expansion during charge and discharge, inhibit the aggregation of discharge products (insulating short-chain lithium polysulfides), and promote the conversion of short-chain lithium polysulfides. This electrolyte, matched with this cathode system, can cycle charge and discharge without a negative electrode, while avoiding the reaction between lithium polysulfides in the electrolyte and the lithium sheet, improving safety, reducing cost, increasing battery energy density, and realizing high sulfur loading in solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0026] This invention involves in-situ coating of lithium iodide onto LLZTO, resulting in a tight bond between the lithium iodide and LLZTO. The presence of LLZTO provides a transport pathway for lithium ions in the high-concentration electrolyte. The lithium iodide coating layer can further increase the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte by promoting the stripping and recovery of lithium ions, and also allows for more uniform and stable transport of lithium ions within the electrolyte. Lithium iodide-coated LLZTO, Li₂S₆, and PEO are dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile and dried to form a solid electrolyte. The saturation of lithium polysulfides in the PEO electrolyte effectively prevents further dissolution of lithium polysulfides on the electrode. Furthermore, the high-concentration solid polymer electrolyte can reduce the crystallinity of PEO. Lithium carboxymethyl cellulose / styrene-butadiene rubber is used as a water-soluble binder in the sulfur cathode, which can alleviate volume expansion during charge and discharge, inhibit the aggregation of discharge products (insulating short-chain lithium polysulfides), and promote the conversion of short-chain lithium polysulfides. This electrolyte, matched with this positive electrode system, allows for cyclic charging and discharging without a negative electrode. It also avoids the reaction between lithium polysulfides in the electrolyte and the lithium sheet, solving problems such as lithium polysulfide dissolution, low sulfur utilization, low sulfur loading, poor conductivity, and volume expansion in lithium-sulfur batteries. Furthermore, it improves safety, reduces cost, increases battery energy density, and achieves high sulfur loading in solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries. This invention presents a simple and large-scale synthesis modification method, providing valuable reference for the application of solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries. Attached Figure Description
