Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage materials and polymers, and specifically relates to a paper-based solid electrolyte with high electrical conductivity and flame retardancy, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are considered the most promising energy storage materials due to their high energy density and long cycle life. However, conventional lithium-ion liquid electrolytes can react with lithium metal, leading to the growth of lithium dendrites and serious safety concerns. Therefore, researchers have proposed using solid-state electrolytes to address the safety issues of lithium metal batteries.

[0003] Solid-state electrolytes, as solid ion conductors, can conduct lithium ions between the cathode and anode, thereby enabling the storage and release of electrical energy. However, the rigid interface between the solid-state electrolyte and lithium metal results in different ion transport channels. Furthermore, the internal ion transport rate is low, resulting in high interfacial impedance and low ionic conductivity.

[0004] Current research focuses on three major material systems: oxides (such as lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide), sulfides, and polymers (such as polyethylene glycol). These single systems often suffer from issues such as high interfacial resistance, poor stability, and low conductivity. Furthermore, these systems often require complex and demanding large-scale manufacturing processes, which increases the cost of industrial applications and hinders large-scale production. Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable resources in nature, with applications in new materials, chemical raw materials, medicine, and the environment. It has attracted considerable attention due to its abundant availability, renewability, and biodegradability. The polar environment within cellulose molecules effectively promotes lithium ion delocalization, thereby enhancing the conductivity and energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, constructing solid-state electrolyte systems using cellulose as a polymer matrix to achieve stable operation of lithium metal batteries has become a key research topic in recent years, demonstrating excellent electrochemical performance.

[0093] Example 11

[0094] Interfacial and battery impedance testing: The paper-based electrolyte materials prepared in Examples 1-10 above were assembled into batteries and then subjected to impedance testing. This included arranging the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode, paper-based electrolyte, and lithium metal in a button cell. The interfacial and battery impedances were measured using AC impedance testing. (The interfacial impedance is the starting point of the AC impedance curve, the first point in the front semicircle, where both the interfacial and battery impedances are measured simultaneously.)

[0095] Conductivity test: The paper-based solid electrolyte samples prepared in Examples 1-10 were placed between two sheets of stainless steel (the thickness of the paper-based solid electrolyte samples ranged from 0.5 to 1 mm). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ECI) was performed using a Shanghai Chenhua Chi660E electrochemical workstation. The AC impedance curves of the samples were measured at a frequency of 1 MHz to 1 Hz and an oscillation voltage of 10 mV. (Both conductivity and battery impedance tests were conducted in accordance with international standards. The battery impedance test identifies the impedance between the positive electrode, electrolyte, and negative electrode in the assembled button cell due to the heterogeneous interface. Battery impedance refers to the overall impedance of current passing through the positive electrode, electrolyte, and negative electrode. The ionic conductivity of the electrolyte was tested using flat stainless steel as the conductive medium.)

[0096] The resistance results of the battery are shown in Table 1 below.

[0099] Table 1 shows the interfacial impedance and battery impedance test results of the battery. As can be seen from Table 1, the paper-based solid electrolyte prepared in Example 9 has the lowest interfacial impedance and good ion conductivity. The lithium ions and ion conductive medium in the prepared Example 9 are in an optimal ratio. The cellulose and polyethylene glycol in Example 9 can achieve rapid migration of lithium ions, and the lithiated flaky montmorillonite structure can provide a bridge path for ion conduction.

[0100] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
