Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solid-state batteries, and particularly relates to a multifunctional carbon fiber battery based on a modified sulfide electrolyte and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing demand for high-energy-density and high-safety lithium batteries, all-solid-state batteries have received extensive attention. As a key component of all-solid-state batteries, sulfide electrolytes have become one of the hotspots in the current research field of all-solid-state batteries due to their high ionic conductivity and good mechanical processing performance at room temperature. However, existing research shows that sulfide electrolytes have the following limitations:
[0003] 1. Poor air stability: Sulfide electrolytes are extremely hygroscopic, which can lead to a decrease in their ionic conductivity and even decomposition and failure.
[0004] 2. Poor interfacial stability with the lithium metal anode: It may form interfacial side reactions, resulting in an overly thick interfacial impedance layer and rapid attenuation of battery performance.
[0005] 3. The requirements for the engineering preparation process are relatively harsh, with strong activity, and it is difficult to be applied to composite materials with integrated structure and function.
[0006] In recent years, in order to solve the problems of sulfide electrolytes in terms of air stability and interfacial stability, some people have tried to construct a polymer coating layer on the surface of the electrolyte to improve the compatibility with lithium metal. However, when introducing a relatively thick polymer layer, this method will significantly reduce the overall conductivity of the electrolyte, thereby affecting the performance of the battery. Some people have also tried to introduce elements such as F and Cl for chemical doping during the preparation process. Although this method improves the stability between the electrolyte and lithium, it often leads to a decrease in the bulk conductivity, affecting the energy transfer efficiency of the battery. Some people have also used chemical vapor deposition or other surface modification methods to form a nanoscale protective layer on the surface of the electrolyte. Although this method can alleviate the oxidation or hydrolysis problems of the electrolyte to a certain extent, the process is extremely complex, causing a large obstacle to large-scale production and limiting its application and promotion in actual production.
[0007] In addition, for the direction of integrated structural energy storage, if the active materials in the battery can be combined with fiber reinforcements to construct a new type of carbon fiber battery with "load-bearing - energy storage" multifunctionality, it will greatly expand the application value of the battery in the lightweight of aerospace and new energy vehicles. In the prior art, certain progress has been made in the research of loading positive or negative electrode materials on the carbon fiber matrix. However, if a truly usable all-solid-state battery structure is to be realized in "fiber composite + sulfide electrolyte", further problems such as electrolyte modification and compatibility need to be solved.
[0008] Therefore, how to construct a stable layer on the surface of sulfide electrolyte, which has little impact on ion transport attenuation, can form a stable bonding layer with carbon fiber, positive electrode and negative electrode materials, and can resist the erosion of moisture and oxygen has become a difficult problem to be solved urgently at present.

After detection, the conductivity of the modified sulfide electrolyte prepared in this example only decreased by 15% after standing for 5 h, while the unmodified electrolyte decreased by more than 35%. This shows that the air stability of the modified sulfide electrolyte in this example has been significantly improved compared to the unmodified electrolyte.

[0107] Preparation of a multifunctional carbon fiber battery: Mix a NCM523 ternary cathode material, carbon black, PVDF, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone according to a mass ratio of 88:7:5:60 to obtain a cathode slurry (solid content: 33 wt%), then apply the cathode slurry onto an unfolded carbon fiber woven fabric (areal density: 15 g / m -2 with a wet coating amount of 0.10 kg·m 2 , and dry it in vacuum at a temperature of 140 °C for 15 min to obtain a carbon fiber woven fabric cathode electrode sheet coated with NCM523 with a dry film thickness of 22 μm and an overall thickness of 52 μm for standby; roll a metallic lithium into a thin sheet with a thickness of 10 μm, and then laminate it onto another carbon fiber woven fabric (areal density: 15 g / m 2 , thickness: 30 μm) by means of hot pressing at 0.3 MPa and 70 °C for 1 min in an argon glove box to obtain a carbon fiber woven fabric anode electrode sheet coated with metallic lithium; finally, spread the modified sulfide electrolyte on both sides of a nanofiber mat (areal density: 5 g / m 2 , thickness: 20 μm, porosity: 70%), and press it into a modified electrolyte composite sheet with a thickness of 55 μm; then cut all the cathode electrode sheet, anode electrode sheet, and modified electrolyte composite sheet into a size of 40 mm×40 mm, dry them at 120 °C in vacuum for 2 h, cool them, and place them in a glove box with residual water <50 ppm to ensure no residual polar solvent. Then place the carbon fiber woven fabric anode electrode sheet coated with metallic lithium (carbon fiber side up) at the bottom layer, then align and stack the 55-μm-thick modified electrolyte composite sheet, and then place the carbon fiber woven fabric cathode electrode sheet coated with the NCM523 ternary cathode material (active surface down) at the top layer. After assembly, put it into a flat cold press, pre-press and exhaust for 30 s at room temperature and 5 MPa to ensure the sheets are well adhered, and then carry out hot pressing and lamination assembly by means of a high-temperature and short-time process in an argon atmosphere, controlling the temperature at 250 °C, the pressure at 20 MPa, and the time at 25 min. After hot pressing is completed, cool it to 50 °C and take a sample to obtain a multifunctional carbon fiber battery with a thickness of 165 μm.
[0108] Weld an Al / Ni current collector with a size of 10 mm × 5 mm and a nickel plating thickness of 25 μm to each of the positive and negative electrodes of the multifunctional carbon fiber battery prepared in this embodiment; then use a 60-μm polyimide-aluminum plastic composite bag to thermally seal it into a small-sized flat battery with a size of 55 mm × 55 mm, and the side seal is 5 mm.
[0109] Perform constant current charge and discharge tests and EIS tests (the same as in Example 1) on the small-sized flat battery prepared in this embodiment at room temperature. The test results show that the initial discharge capacity is 173 mAh / g, the capacity after 120 cycles at a 1C rate remains at 90%, and the initial interfacial impedance is 78 Ω·cm. 2 It can be seen therefrom that Ta doping can improve the conductivity of the battery and inhibit air hydrolysis; it can still maintain low impedance and high cycle stability without a separator.
[0110] In summary, it can be seen that the technical routes of metal doping and removing the separator or using a composite separator are superior to the traditional undoped system in terms of ionic conductivity, interfacial impedance, and cycle life, and can effectively reduce the battery thickness and increase the specific energy of the battery.
[0111] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
