Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of all-solid-state batteries, and in particular to a double silane coupling agent modified composite binder and application thereof in wet film formation of sulfide electrolytes. Background Art

[0002] Sulfide solid electrolytes are considered to be ideal electrolyte materials for all-solid-state batteries due to their high ionic conductivity and good machinability. However, their film formation process still faces many challenges: during the wet film formation process, sulfides are extremely sensitive to polar solvents (such as NMP and water) and are prone to decomposition reactions (such as the generation of H2S), resulting in degradation of electrolyte performance. At the same time, traditional binders (such as PVDF) rely on high-boiling-point solvents (such as NMP), which are not only difficult to completely remove but also undergo side reactions with sulfides, increasing interfacial impedance. In addition, the electrolyte membranes formed by wet film formation often have structural defects (such as cracks), resulting in insufficient mechanical strength and poor interfacial contact, which seriously affect the cycle stability and rate performance of the entire battery.

[0003] Currently, the selection of solvents and binders is crucial for wet-film formation of sulfide electrolytes. While common organic solvents (such as toluene) can reduce sulfide decomposition, they have poor solubility in most binders, resulting in insufficient film uniformity. A single binder (such as PTFE or styrene-butadiene rubber) struggles to simultaneously meet the requirements for high bonding strength and ion conductivity. Furthermore, the formed electrolyte membrane is prone to shrinkage and cracking during drying, and the solid-solid interface impedance with the electrode material is high, limiting large-scale fabrication and industrial application. Therefore, developing a highly compatible solvent system and multifunctional composite binder to achieve high-quality wet-film formation of sulfide electrolytes has become a key technical challenge in promoting the development of all-solid-state batteries. Summary of the Invention

A toluene / dibromomethane mixed solvent is used to achieve uniform sulfide electrolyte membrane formation. The modified ethyl cellulose forms a chemical bond with the sulfide electrolyte through the silane coupling agent, reducing interfacial impedance. Combined with the elastic properties of styrene-butadiene rubber, the resulting sulfide electrolyte membrane exhibits both excellent membrane-forming and ion-conducting properties.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a double silane coupling agent modified composite binder and using the same for wet film formation of sulfide electrolyte. The specific process is as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0053] 1. Preparation of double silane coupling agent modified composite adhesive:

[0054] (1) Pretreatment of ethyl cellulose: Weigh 5 g of ethyl cellulose and add it to 95 g of anhydrous ethanol. Stir the mixture at a magnetic stirring speed of 700 rpm in a 60 °C water bath for 6 h to obtain a uniform ethyl cellulose solution with a mass fraction of 5%.

[0055] (2) Hydrolysis of silane coupling agent: 1.5 g of KH-570 silane coupling agent and 1.5 g of KH-550 silane coupling agent (mass ratio 1:1) were mixed and added to a mixed solvent consisting of 27 mL of anhydrous ethanol and 3 mL of deionized water (volume ratio 9:1). The pH was adjusted to 4.5 with dilute hydrochloric acid, and hydrolyzed at room temperature of 25 °C with magnetic stirring for 45 min to obtain a hydrolyzed silane solution.

[0056] (3) Graft modification reaction: The hydrolyzed silane solution (total mass 30 g) prepared in step (2) was slowly added dropwise to 100 g of ethyl cellulose solution prepared in step (1), with the addition rate controlled at 1 mL / min. The mixture was reacted in an oil bath at 65°C for 6 h to obtain a silane-modified ethyl cellulose solution.

[0057] (4) Post-treatment purification: The ethyl cellulose solution was concentrated by rotary evaporation at 50°C, and then washed with anhydrous ethanol four times. The washed product was placed in a vacuum drying oven and dried at 60°C and 0.05 MPa for 12 h to obtain a solid sample of ethyl cellulose modified with a disilane coupling agent.

[0058] (5) Preparation of composite binder: 1.0 g of ethyl cellulose solid sample modified with a disilane coupling agent and 5.0 g of styrene-butadiene rubber (mass ratio 1:5) were added to a mixed solvent consisting of 90 g of toluene and 10 g of dibromomethane (mass ratio 9:1). The mixture was stirred magnetically at 500 rpm for 4 h at room temperature (25°C) to obtain a uniform modified composite binder solution with a solid content of 5.66%.

[0059] 2. Use of double silane coupling modified composite binder for wet film formation of sulfide electrolyte:

[0060] (1) Preparation of sulfide electrolyte slurry: In an argon-filled glove box, 10 g of sulfide electrolyte was added to a ball mill. 5.3 g of the composite binder solution and 6 g of toluene solvent were then added to uniformly disperse the electrolyte. After sealing, the mixture was ball milled at room temperature for 2 h at a speed of 300 rpm to obtain a uniform electrolyte slurry. The mass fraction of the composite binder in the sulfide electrolyte was 3%.

[0061] (2) Sulfide electrolyte wet film formation: The electrolyte slurry was coated on a copper foil substrate in an argon-filled glove box with a thickness of 60 μm. The film was then air-dried for 2 h. The film was then dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C and a vacuum degree of 0.05 MPa for 12 h.

[0062] like Figure 2 The figure shows a scanning electron microscope image of the sulfide electrolyte membrane prepared in Example 1. Figure 2 It can be seen that the surface of the sulfide electrolyte membrane is very smooth and uniform, without any unevenness or cracks. This is because the modified composite binder enhances the film-forming property of the sulfide electrolyte.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] 1. This embodiment provides a method for preparing a composite adhesive modified with a bissilane coupling agent, the steps of which are as follows:

[0065] (1) Pretreatment of ethyl cellulose: 8 g of ethyl cellulose was weighed and added to 92 g of anhydrous ethanol. The mixture was stirred at 750 rpm in a water bath at 65 °C for 8 h to obtain a uniform ethyl cellulose solution with a mass fraction of 8%.

[0066] (2) Hydrolysis of silane coupling agent: Mix 1.2 g of KH-570 silane coupling agent and 2.4 g of KH-550 silane coupling agent (mass ratio 1:2) and add them to a mixed solvent consisting of 24 mL of anhydrous ethanol and 6 mL of deionized water (volume ratio 8:2). Adjust the pH to 4.5 with dilute hydrochloric acid and hydrolyze with magnetic stirring at room temperature of 25°C for 50 min.

[0067] (3) Graft modification reaction: 30 g of the hydrolyzed silane solution prepared in step (2) was slowly added dropwise to 100 g of the ethyl cellulose solution prepared in step (1), with the addition rate controlled at 0.8 mL / min. The reaction was carried out in a 68 °C oil bath for 7 h to obtain a disilane coupling agent-modified ethyl cellulose solution.

[0068] (4) Post-treatment purification: The reaction solution was concentrated by rotary evaporation at 55 °C, and then washed with anhydrous ethanol five times. The washed product was placed in a vacuum drying oven and dried at 70 °C and 0.06 MPa for 14 h to obtain a solid sample of ethyl cellulose modified with a disilane coupling agent.

[0069] (5) Preparation of composite binder: 1.0 g of ethyl cellulose sample modified with a disilane coupling agent and 5.0 g of styrene-butadiene rubber (mass ratio 1:5) were added to a mixed solvent consisting of 90 g of toluene and 10 g of dibromomethane (mass ratio 9:1). The mixture was stirred magnetically at 500 rpm for 4 h at room temperature (25°C) to obtain a uniform composite binder solution with a solid content of 5.66%.

[0070] 2. Use of double silane coupling modified composite binder for wet film formation of sulfide electrolyte:

[0071] (1) Preparation of sulfide electrolyte slurry: In an argon-filled glove box, 10 g of sulfide electrolyte was added to a ball mill. 5.3 g of the composite binder solution and 6 g of toluene solvent were then added to uniformly disperse the electrolyte. After sealing, the mixture was ball milled at room temperature for 2 h at a speed of 300 rpm to obtain a uniform electrolyte slurry. The mass fraction of the composite binder in the sulfide electrolyte was 3%.

[0072] (2) Sulfide electrolyte wet film formation: The electrolyte slurry was coated on a copper foil substrate in an argon-filled glove box with a thickness of 60 μm. The film was then air-dried for 2 h. The film was then dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C and a vacuum degree of 0.05 MPa for 12 h.

[0073] Comparative Example 1

[0074] The step of modifying ethyl cellulose with KH-570 and KH-550 silane coupling agents in Example 1 was omitted. Instead, a composite binder solution was prepared directly using unmodified ethyl cellulose and styrene-butadiene rubber in a toluene / dibromomethane mixed solvent. The resulting composite binder solution was then used for wet film formation of sulfide electrolytes.

[0075] That is, compared with Example 1, when preparing the composite adhesive, steps (1) to (4) are not performed. In step (5), 1.0 g of an ethyl cellulose solid sample that has not been modified with a disilane coupling agent and 5.0 g of styrene-butadiene rubber are taken to prepare the composite adhesive, and the subsequent steps are carried out according to Example 1.

[0087] That is, compared with Example 1, when preparing the composite adhesive, in step (5), only 1.0 g of the ethyl cellulose solid sample modified with a disilane coupling agent is taken and added to a mixed solvent consisting of 90 g of toluene and 10 g of dibromomethane to prepare the adhesive solution, without taking styrene-butadiene rubber, and the remaining steps are carried out according to Example 1.

[0088] Comparative Example 6

[0089] Ethyl cellulose was modified with KH-570 and KH-550 silane coupling agents and then compounded with styrene-butadiene rubber in a single solvent, toluene, to prepare a binder solution. Sulfide electrolyte wet film formation was then performed.

[0090] That is, compared with Example 1, when preparing the composite adhesive, the mixed solvent consisting of 90 g of toluene and 10 g of dibromomethane in step (5) is replaced with 100 g of toluene solvent, and the remaining steps are carried out according to Example 1.

[0091] Comparative Example 7

[0092] Ethyl cellulose was modified with KH-570 and KH-550 silane coupling agents and then compounded with styrene-butadiene rubber in a single solvent, dibromomethane, to prepare a binder solution. Sulfide electrolyte wet film formation was then performed.

[0095] Ethyl cellulose was modified with the epoxy silane coupling agent KH-560 (γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyltrimethoxysilane). The resulting composite binder solution was prepared with styrene-butadiene rubber in a toluene / dibromomethane mixture. This composite binder solution was then used for wet-process film formation of sulfide electrolytes.

[0096] That is, compared with Example 1, when preparing the composite adhesive, only 1.5 g of KH-560 epoxy silane coupling agent was used for hydrolysis in step (2), and the remaining steps were carried out according to Example 1.

[0097] Comparative Example 9

[0098] Ethyl cellulose was modified with KH-550 and KH-560 silane coupling agents and then mixed with styrene-butadiene rubber in a toluene / dibromomethane mixed solvent to prepare a composite binder solution. The prepared composite binder solution was then used for wet film formation of sulfide electrolytes.

[0099] That is, compared with Example 1, when preparing the composite adhesive, 1.5 g of KH-550 and 1.5 g of KH-560 silane coupling agents were hydrolyzed in step (2), and the remaining steps were carried out according to Example 1.

[0103] Effect embodiment

[0104] The performance tests of the embodiments and comparative examples are carried out as follows:

[0105] The electrolyte membranes prepared in each embodiment and comparative example were cut into small discs, loaded into a pressure battery mold, and punched under a pressure of 1 ton for 1 min. An AC impedance test was performed at room temperature using an electrochemical workstation with specification model CHI660E. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0106] Table 1 Electrochemical performance data of sulfide electrolyte membrane

[0107]

[0108] As can be seen from Table 1, the sulfide electrolyte membranes of the examples exhibit lower impedance than the comparative examples, higher ionic conductivity, and superior film-forming properties and surface uniformity and smoothness compared to the comparative examples. This is primarily due to the modification of ethyl cellulose with the silane coupling agents KH-570 and KH-550. The acyloxy groups of the silane coupling agent KH-570 condense with the hydroxyl groups of the ethyl cellulose to form a cross-linked network, while the amino groups of the silane coupling agent KH-550 coordinate with the lithium ions on the sulfide surface. These dual effects significantly enhance interfacial bonding and reduce interfacial impedance. Furthermore, the elasticity of styrene-butadiene rubber and the rigidity of ethyl cellulose synergistically impart high film-forming properties and flexibility to the electrolyte membrane. Furthermore, the mixed solvent system effectively prevents decomposition of the sulfide electrolyte, significantly improving the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte membrane.

[0109] The above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art may make various variations or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present invention.
