Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a multilayer composite solid electrolyte and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] All-solid-state batteries, due to their advantages such as high energy density and high safety, are considered an important development direction for next-generation battery technology. However, ideal solid-state batteries place extremely high demands on the solid electrolyte's ionic conductivity, chemical stability, and mechanical strength. Current material systems and preparation processes struggle to simultaneously meet these requirements. Therefore, accelerating the research and development of solid-state electrolytes and optimizing their preparation processes are crucial to achieving high-performance all-solid-state batteries.
[0003] By effectively combining the advantages of inorganic SEs and polymer SEs through interfacial modification strategies, multilayer composite solid electrolytes can be fabricated. These effectively optimize interfacial stability toward sodium metal and the cathode, potentially reducing interfacial resistance and inhibiting metal dendrite formation, which are crucial for the safe and stable operation of all-solid-state alkali metal batteries. However, current research focuses primarily on single-layer composite solid electrolytes, with relatively little research on multilayer composite solid electrolytes. Furthermore, some commonly used composite solid electrolyte preparation processes, such as solution casting, impregnation, and tape casting, struggle to precisely control the electrolyte structure and composition, particularly in the preparation of heterogeneous electrolytes. Solution casting, primarily used to prepare single-layer electrolyte membranes, struggles to precisely control the formation of specialized structures. The impregnation method, requiring multiple impregnation and drying steps, is complex and poses challenges in ensuring uniformity and consistency across the layers. The tape casting method, primarily used to prepare single-layer electrolyte membranes, requires multiple casting and stacking steps, resulting in complex and costly processes. The difficulty in preparing multilayer composite solid electrolytes lies in the need for precise control of electrolyte structure, composition, thickness, and interfacial contact. Consequently, these traditional processes struggle to meet these requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0093] (3) The solid electrolyte membrane obtained in step (2) was cut into 19 mm diameter discs and then stored in an Ar glove box.
[0094] The above-mentioned composite solid-state electrolyte disc was applied to sodium-ion all-solid-state batteries: the solid-state electrolyte was assembled into Na||Na symmetric batteries and Na3V2(PO4)3||Na batteries (specifications: CR2032 button batteries) in a glove box filled with argon, with a packaging pressure of 50MPa, and then the electrochemical properties of the solid-state electrolyte were tested.
[0095] Comparative Example 2
[0096] This comparative example prepared a PEO-based solid electrolyte PNZ, and the specific process was as follows:
[0097] (1) Take succinonitrile, NaTFSI and PEO and add them into deionized water respectively, where EO:Na + The molar ratio is 15:1, the mass percentage of succinonitrile is 5 wt %. A mixed slurry for preparing the surface functional layer was obtained by stirring with a planetary mixer at room temperature of 25°C at a speed of 1200 rpm, a stirring time of 6 minutes, and a stirring frequency of 5 times.
[0098] (2) The mixed slurry of step (1) was placed in a coating machine, and the scraper height was adjusted to 2 mm. The mixed slurry was flattened with the scraper to form a solid electrolyte membrane, and then placed in a vacuum oven and dried under vacuum at 60°C for 24 hours;
[0099] (3) The solid electrolyte membrane obtained in step (2) was cut into 19 mm diameter discs and then stored in an Ar glove box.
[0100] The above-mentioned composite solid-state electrolyte disc was applied to sodium-ion all-solid-state batteries: the solid-state electrolyte was assembled into Na||Na symmetric batteries and Na3V2(PO4)3||Na batteries (specifications: CR2032 button batteries) in a glove box filled with argon, with a packaging pressure of 50MPa, and then the electrochemical properties of the solid-state electrolyte were tested.
[0101] Test Example 1
[0102] The Na||Na symmetrical batteries prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested for ion mobility, critical current density, and cycle stability at 60°C. The Na3V2(PO4)3||Na battery was tested for rate performance and cycle stability. Based on the test results, the ionic conductivity and stability were determined. Some of the results are shown in Table 1:
[0103] Table 1
[0104]
[0105]
[0106] As can be seen from Table 1, the DIW multilayer composite solid electrolytes of Examples 1 to 5 have outstanding ion migration numbers, which are much higher than the single-layer solid electrolyte prepared by the ordinary coating method of the comparative example. It can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 that the electrochemical performance is very different when there is only a difference in whether it is a DIW multilayer electrolyte: in the Na||Na symmetric battery, the ion migration number of the DIW multilayer solid electrolyte is 0.49, and it can be cycled for 1100h; while the ion migration number of the single-layer solid electrolyte prepared in Comparative Example 1 is 0.18, and it short-circuit after 150h of circulation. This is because the piezoelectric effect of the BiFeO3 filler in the DIW multilayer electrolyte allows sodium ions to be uniformly deposited and effectively inhibits the growth of sodium dendrites, while Na3Zr2Si2PO 12 As an active filler, it effectively promotes the transmission of Na ions, thereby having a higher ion migration number and long-cycle stability. In the Na3V2(PO4)3||Na battery, the capacity retention rate of the DIW multilayer solid electrolyte after 400 cycles at 1C is 93.1%; while the capacity retention rate of the single-layer solid electrolyte prepared in Comparative Example 1 after 200 cycles at 1C is only 31.2%. This is because the succinonitrile plasticizer in the DIW multilayer electrolyte makes the cathode-electrolyte interface contact more closely, which is conducive to sodium ion conduction, while the single-layer solid electrolyte has a large number of voids at the cathode-electrolyte interface. In addition, the piezoelectric effect of the BiFeO3 filler can effectively inhibit the growth of sodium dendrites at the anode and allow sodium ions to be uniformly deposited. Therefore, the battery assembled with the multilayer solid electrolyte of the present invention exhibits excellent capacity reversibility and provides significant capacity.
[0107] Compared with Example 5, Examples 1 to 4 use direct writing printing to prepare multilayer composite solid electrolytes. The process is simpler and the slurry molding is better controlled, which can further improve the battery's ion migration number and cycle performance.
[0108] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a DIW multilayer composite solid electrolyte in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 This is a SEM image of the piezoelectric functional layer of the DIW multilayer composite solid electrolyte prepared in Example 1 of the present invention. The effects of the other examples are similar and will not be described in detail.
[0109] from Figure 3 It can be seen that the composite solid electrolyte prepared in the embodiment has a multi-layer structure, which can be printed in a multi-layer structure according to the characteristics of the sodium anode and different cathode materials. The piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric functional layer allows the sodium ions of the sodium metal anode to be uniformly deposited, effectively inhibiting the growth of sodium dendrites; and the active filler in the middle layer effectively promotes the transmission of Na ions, thereby having a higher ion migration number and long cycle stability; the plasticizer functional layer makes the cathode-electrolyte interface contact closer, which is beneficial to sodium ion conduction. Figure 4It can be seen that the surface of the DIW multilayer composite solid electrolyte prepared in Example 1 is relatively smooth and flat.
