BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the present application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present application.

[0028] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for preparing a glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte provided in this application.

[0029] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] First, the application background of this application is explained as follows:

[0032] Against the backdrop of an accelerating global transition to clean energy, new energy vehicles and renewable energy storage systems are booming, placing extremely high demands on battery performance. Traditional liquid electrolyte batteries pose safety risks such as flammability and explosion, and their energy density cannot meet the growing demand for long-range and large-capacity energy storage. This significantly limits the widespread adoption of electric vehicles and the stable operation of large-scale energy storage systems.

[0033] As a new type of electrolyte material, glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte has high ionic conductivity, which can enable rapid migration of ions within the battery, thereby improving the battery's charge and discharge efficiency and power density, and meeting the needs of fast charging of electric vehicles and efficient charging and discharging of energy storage systems; its good mechanical properties and thermal stability can not only effectively inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites and avoid internal short circuits in the battery, but also adapt to a wider temperature range, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the battery in different environments; and the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte can achieve good interface contact with the electrode material, reduce the interface resistance, and further improve the overall performance of the battery.

[0034] In the existing preparation technology of glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes, in order to improve ionic conductivity while ensuring the stability of the chemical interface, element doping technology has become a common means. However, the existing doping technology is mostly single-element doping, which is limited to the introduction of a single element. The prepared glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes have exposed many problems during the actual circulation of all-solid-state batteries: on the one hand, the Young's modulus is relatively high, resulting in uneven stress distribution inside the battery; on the other hand, the interface stability between the electrolyte and the electrode is poor, and it is easy to have problems such as increased interface impedance during the cycle. In addition, the air stability of the electrolyte is also poor. More importantly, the ionic conductivity of the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte prepared by the single-element doping technology has never reached the ideal level, and cannot meet the actual requirements of all-solid-state batteries for charge and discharge efficiency and power density, which restricts the further improvement of the overall performance of the battery.

[0035] In summary, providing a glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte that simultaneously meets the requirements of low Young's modulus, excellent interface stability and air stability, and further improves ionic conductivity is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0036] Based on the above technical problems, the inventors found that the glass ceramic sulfide electrolyte - Li7P3S 11 The glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte prepared by doping metal elements, oxygen elements and iodine elements has excellent interface stability (interface stability to lithium metal negative electrode) and air stability as well as low Young's modulus, maintaining good contact between the solid-solid interface between the positive and negative active materials and the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte, and can meet the requirements of low cycle pressure and low preparation pressure of all-solid-state batteries. More importantly, the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte prepared by the above method has excellent ionic conductivity, which can meet the charge and discharge efficiency and power density of all-solid-state batteries, further improving battery performance. Based on this, the present application provides a glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte and a preparation method thereof.

[0037] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a process for preparing a glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte provided in this application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0039] S101: Li2S, P2S5, MeO a , LiI are mixed under an inert gas environment to obtain a precursor powder, wherein Me represents a metal element, a represents MeO a The number of oxygen atoms in the molecule, a, ranges from 1≤a≤3.

[0040] In this step, lithium sulfide Li2S is an inorganic compound composed of lithium and sulfur, which serves as the lithium source and sulfur source in the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte; phosphorus pentasulfide P2S5 is an inorganic compound composed of phosphorus and sulfur, which is the most commonly used network forming body raw material in glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte, and reacts with Li2S to form a skeleton that provides ion transmission channels; metal oxide MeO a It refers to a compound composed of metal elements and oxygen elements, which can be used as a doping substance to optimize the performance of glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes, where Me represents a metal element and a represents MeOa The number of oxygen atoms in the electrolyte, a, ranges from 1≤a≤3. Specifically, the value of a is determined by the valence of the metal element Me. For example, when Me is W (W has a valence of +6), the value of a is 3, when Me is Mn (Mn has a valence of +4), the value of a is 2, and when Me is Ca (Ca has a valence of +2), the value of a is 1. Lithium iodide LiI is an inorganic compound composed of lithium and iodine. It can be used as a modifier. Due to the large radius of iodine ions, it can expand the transmission channel of lithium ions, promote lithium ion migration, and improve ionic conductivity. Inert gas refers to a gas with very inactive chemical properties, which can be argon, neon, helium, nitrogen, etc.

[0041] Specifically, since sulfides such as Li2S and P2S5 can easily react with water and oxygen in the air, for example, when Li2S meets water, it will generate harmful gas hydrogen sulfide H2S and unnecessary by-product lithium hydroxide LiOH, and when P2S5 meets water, it will generate harmful gas H2S and unnecessary by-product phosphoric acid H3PO4. Therefore, in order to ensure that the glass ceramic sulfides are not contaminated or deteriorated during the preparation process, Li2S, P2S5, MeO a , LiI are mixed in an inert gas environment so that these raw materials with different physical forms and densities are evenly dispersed together to form a precursor powder with relatively uniform chemical composition distribution, providing a material basis for the preparation of glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes.

[0042] S102: performing amorphization treatment on the precursor powder to obtain a solid electrolyte powder precursor.

[0043] In this step, the amorphization treatment aims to disrupt the crystal structure of the precursor powder, transforming it from an ordered crystalline or partially crystalline state to a disordered amorphous state (glassy state). The amorphous structure reduces the obstacles encountered by ions moving through the electrolyte, allowing them to move more freely, thereby improving ionic conductivity. Secondly, the amorphous structure lacks the distinct grain boundaries of the crystalline structure (grain boundaries are often weak links in ion transport and easily generate impedance), which helps reduce the obstructive effect of grain boundaries and further improves ionic conductivity. Thirdly, the atomic arrangement of the amorphous structure has a certain degree of flexibility, which can better adapt to volume changes in response to external environmental changes or contact with electrode materials, enhancing the compatibility and stability between the electrolyte and the motor. Common amorphization treatment methods include mechanical ball milling and melt quenching. The resulting solid electrolyte powder precursor is a transitional form of the target electrolyte (glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte).

[0044] Optionally, in the amorphization treatment of the precursor powder by mechanical ball milling, the precursor powder is placed in a ball mill, and the high-speed rotation and collision of the grinding balls cause the precursor powder particles to be subjected to strong mechanical forces, thereby destroying the crystal structure and obtaining an amorphous solid electrolyte powder precursor.

[0045] Optionally, in the amorphization treatment of the precursor powder by the melt quenching method, the precursor powder is first heated to a molten state to completely disintegrate the original crystal structure, and then rapidly cooled so that the atoms do not have time to rearrange to form crystals, thereby obtaining an amorphous solid electrolyte powder precursor.

[0046] The amorphous solid electrolyte powder precursor obtained by amorphization treatment has a more uniform composition distribution and a structure that is more conducive to ion conduction, providing a basis for the subsequent preparation of glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes with excellent interface stability, low Young's modulus and high ionic conductivity.

[0047] S103: Sintering the solid electrolyte powder precursor in an inert gas environment to obtain a glass ceramic sulfide electrolyte.

[0048] In this step, sintering refers to applying a temperature corresponding to the melting point of the solid electrolyte powder precursor, using thermal energy to drive material migration between the powder particles of the solid electrolyte powder precursor, thereby expanding the contact points between the particles, gradually reducing or closing the gaps, and ultimately transforming the loose solid electrolyte powder precursor into a dense solid.

[0049] Similarly, the entire sintering process needs to be in an inert gas environment to prevent sulfides and other components in the solid electrolyte powder precursor powder from reacting with water or oxygen in the air to produce harmful gases or by-products. The inert gas can be argon, neon, helium, nitrogen, etc.

[0050] For example, a sufficient amount of argon is introduced into a sealed sintering furnace or reaction vessel to completely expel the air. The solid electrolyte powder precursor is then placed in a mold or crucible, placed in a sintering device, and sintered at a preset temperature. During the sintering process, as the temperature rises, the amorphous structure in the solid electrolyte powder precursor powder partially crystallizes to form a regularly arranged crystalline structure while retaining a certain amount of amorphous structure, ultimately resulting in a glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte with a glass phase (amorphous) and a ceramic phase (crystalline) structure.

[0051] The preparation method of the glass ceramic sulfide electrolyte provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Li2S, P2S5, MeO a, LiI is mixed in an inert gas environment to obtain a precursor powder, and then the precursor powder is subjected to amorphization treatment to obtain a solid electrolyte powder precursor. Finally, the solid electrolyte powder precursor is sintered in an inert gas environment to obtain a glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte. By the above method, the prepared glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte has excellent interfacial stability, air stability and low Young's modulus. More importantly, the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte has excellent ionic conductivity, can meet the charge-discharge efficiency and power density of all-solid-state batteries, and further improves the battery performance.

[0052] Based on Figure 1 In Example, in S101: Before mixing Li2S, P2S5, MeO a , LiI in an inert gas environment, the preparation method of the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte further includes:

[0053] Weigh Li2S, P2S5, MeO a , LiI according to the molar ratio of (7 - y):(3 - x):2x:2y. Wherein, the value range of x is 0 < x < 0.5, and the value range of y is 0 < y < 1.

[0054] In a possible implementation manner, MeO a includes any one of the following: WO3, MnO2, CaO or BaO.

[0055] Taking manganese dioxide MnO2 as an example, MnO2 is a common metal oxide, usually presented as black or brownish-black powder. MnO2 has strong oxidizing property and can react with various reducing agents. In addition, MnO2 is relatively stable under alkaline conditions and is not easily dissolved. Due to its oxidizing property and stability, MnO2 is widely used in the preparation of battery materials, catalysts and glass-ceramic materials. Especially in batteries, it is commonly used as the positive electrode material of lithium-ion batteries and alkaline batteries, which can effectively promote charge transfer and improve the capacity and cycle life of the battery.

[0056] x and y are two adjustable variables, and their values directly affect the specific molar proportion of each raw material of the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte. Among them, x mainly controls the doping amount of metal elements, and y mainly controls the doping amount of iodine elements. x can take values such as 0.01, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.48, etc., and y can take values such as 0.01, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 or 0.9, etc. x and y act together on the ratio of each raw material, providing a flexible adjustment space for optimizing the performance of the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte by regulating the composition. In addition, Li2S, P2S5, MeO <F000025>​​, the molar ratio of LiI (7 - y):(3 - x):2x:2y also indicates that the prepared glass - ceramic sulfide electrolyte is based on the Li7P3S 11 system.

[0057] Exemplarily, weigh Li2S, P2S5, MnO2, and LiI according to the molar ratio of Li2S:P2S5:MnO2:LiI being 6.99:2.99:0.02:0.02, or weigh Li2S, P2S5, WO3, and LiI according to the molar ratio of Li^2S:P2S5:WO3:LiI being 6.1:2.52:0.96:1.8, or weigh Li2S, P2S5, CaO, and LiI according to the molar ratio of Li2S:P2S5:CaO:LiI being 6.5:2.7:0.6:1, or weigh Li2S, P2S5, WO3, and LiI according to the molar ratio of Li2S:P2S5:WO3:LiI being 6.1:2.99:0.02:1.8, or weigh Li2S, P2S5, BaO, and LiI according to the molar ratio of Li2S:P2S5:BaO:LiI being 6.98:2.51:0.98:0.04. It can be understood that in addition to the above - mentioned specific molar ratios, according to different selections of x and y within their respective value ranges, other raw material ratios that meet the conditions of 0 < x < 0.5 and 0 < y < 1, such as the molar ratio of Li2S:P2S5:MeO a , LiI being 6.9:2.9:0.2:0.2, 6.3:2.7:0.6:1.4, etc., can be obtained to meet different performance optimization requirements.

[0058] Furthermore, preferably, the value range of x is 0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.3, and the value range of y is 0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.5.

[0059] x may be 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3, and y may be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5. For example, Li2S, P2S5, MnO2, and LiI are weighed in a molar ratio of 6.9:2.95:0.1:0.2 to obtain Li2S, P2S5, MnO2, and LiI, or Li2S, P2S5, BaO, and LiI are weighed in a molar ratio of 6.5:2.7:0.6:1 to obtain Li2S, P2S5, BaO, and LiI, or Li2S, P2S5, WO3, and LiI are weighed in a molar ratio of 6.7:2.95:0.1:0.2 to obtain Li2S, P2S5, BaO, and LiI, or Li2S, P2S5, WO3, and LiI are weighed in a molar ratio of 6.7:2.95:0.1:0.2 to obtain Li2S, P2S5, BaO, and LiI, :2.8:0.4:0.6 weighed to obtain Li2S, P2S5, WO3, LiI, or, according to the molar ratio of Li2S, P2S5, CaO, LiI of 6.5:2.95:0.1:1 weighed to obtain Li2S, P2S5, CaO, LiI, or, according to the molar ratio of Li2S, P2S5, WO3, LiI of 6.9:2.7:0.6:0.2 weighed to obtain Li2S, P2S5, WO3, LiI. It is understandable that in addition to the above specific molar ratios, according to different selections of x and y within their respective value ranges, other molar ratios such as Li2S, P2S5, MeO a The molar ratio of LiI is 6.8:2.9:0.2:0.4, 6.6:2.75:0.5:0.8 and other raw material ratios that meet the conditions of 0.05≦x≦0.3 and 0.1≦y≦0.5 to meet different preferred performance optimization requirements.

[0060] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of x and y, namely Li2S, P2S5, MeO a The molar ratio of Li2S, P2S5, MeO2 and LiI is only used as an example and should be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs in actual applications. a , LiI, provide the material basis for the subsequent preparation of glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes, and can provide flexible adjustment space for optimizing the performance of glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes by regulating x and y.

[0061] exist Figure 1 Based on the embodiment, in S102: performing amorphization treatment on the precursor powder to obtain a solid electrolyte powder precursor specifically includes:

[0062] The precursor powder is placed in a ball milling jar and ball milled using a ball mill to obtain a solid electrolyte powder precursor.

[0063] A ball mill is a container for holding precursor powder and grinding media (such as carbide balls, zirconia balls, etc.) during the ball milling process. It is usually made of wear-resistant materials (such as agate, stainless steel, etc.) and can withstand the impact and friction during grinding. A ball mill is a device that uses high-speed rotation, rotation or planetary motion of the ball mill body to cause the grinding media to impact and grind the precursor powder, thereby achieving the refinement of the precursor powder.

[0064] As described in S102, commonly used amorphization treatment methods include mechanical ball milling, melt quenching, etc. In a specific implementation of this solution, the precursor powder is amorphized by mechanical ball milling, that is, the precursor powder is placed in a ball milling tank, and the ball milling speed and ball milling time of the ball mill are controlled to make the precursor powder drive the grinding media in the tank to produce violent impact, friction and shearing, so that the precursor powder is transformed from an ordered crystalline state or a partially crystalline state to a disordered amorphous state, thereby obtaining a solid electrolyte powder precursor.

[0065] In a possible embodiment, during the ball milling treatment, the ball milling time is 3 hours to 50 hours, and / or the ball milling speed is 100 rpm to 800 rpm.

[0066] Ball milling time refers to the duration of ball milling of precursor powder, and is one of the key parameters for controlling the ball milling effect. Ball milling speed refers to the rotation speed of the ball mill during operation (unit: rpm, revolutions per minute), that is, the number of revolutions of the ball mill per minute, which directly affects the intensity of the grinding medium on the precursor powder.

[0067] Optionally, the ball milling time can be 3 hours, 10 hours, 20 hours, 30 hours, 40 hours, or 50 hours, and the ball milling speed can be 100 rpm, 300 rpm, 500 rpm, 600 rpm, or 800 rpm. For precursor powders with high hardness and difficulty in refining, a longer ball milling time (e.g., 30 to 50 hours) and / or a higher ball milling speed (e.g., 500 to 800 rpm) can be selected to effectively refine the particles by enhancing the impact and friction of the grinding media on the precursor powder. For precursor powders that are easier to handle, a shorter ball milling time (e.g., 3 to 10 hours) and / or a lower ball milling speed (e.g., 100 to 300 rpm) can be selected to achieve the desired mixing and refining effect.

[0068] exist Figure 1 Based on the embodiment, in S103: sintering the solid electrolyte powder precursor in an inert gas environment to obtain a glass ceramic sulfide electrolyte specifically includes:

[0069] In a possible implementation, during sintering, the sintering time is 1 h to 20 h, and / or the sintering temperature is 200 °C to 400 °C.

[0070] The sintering time refers to the duration for which the solid electrolyte powder precursor is maintained at the preset sintering temperature, which determines the degree of densification of the solid electrolyte powder precursor. The sintering temperature refers to the preset heating temperature during the sintering process, which determines the energy level of the migration (diffusion, flow) of the solid electrolyte powder precursor and the microstructure (such as glass refraction, crystallization).

[0071] Optionally, the sintering time can be 1 h, 5 h, 10 h, 13 h, 15 h, 17 h or 20 h, etc., and the sintering temperature can be 200 °C, 250 °C, 300 °C, 350 °C or 400 °C, etc. In practical applications, usually a combination of a shorter sintering time and a higher sintering temperature or a longer sintering time and a lower sintering temperature is used to balance the relationship between rapid densification and material stability.

[0072] The specific values of the above-mentioned ball milling time, ball milling speed, sintering temperature and sintering time are only for illustration, and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0073] This application provides a glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte. The molecular formula of the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte is Li7P 3-x Me x S 11-2.5x-0.5y O ax I y ; where Me represents a metal element, the value range of a is 1 ≤ a ≤ 3, the value range of x is 0 < x < 0.5, and the value range of y is 0 < y < 1.

[0074] Through Figure 1 the method described in the examples, the prepared glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte has the molecular formula Li7P 3- x Me x S 11-2.5x-0.5y O ax I<​​​​The number of oxygen atoms, and the value of a is determined by the valence of the metal element Me.

[0138]

[0139] According to Table 1, the following conclusions can be drawn:

This is because metal and oxygen elements can change the crystal structure of the sulfide electrolyte, facilitating the migration of lithium ions and thus improving ionic conductivity. The glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte and preparation method provided in this application have excellent ionic conductivity and can meet the charge and discharge efficiency and power density requirements of all-solid-state batteries.

[0142]

[0143] According to Table 2, the following conclusions can be drawn:

[0144] Compared with the comparative example, it can be seen from Examples 1 to 12 that the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte prepared by the element doping technology of metal elements, oxygen elements and iodine elements has a battery cycle time of 512h~924h when in contact with a lithium symmetrical battery, and the average cycle time can reach 739.58h, which is much higher than the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte Li7P3S provided in the comparative example. 11 The battery cycle time (378h) when in contact with a lithium symmetric battery shows that the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes provided by Examples 1 to 12 have good lithium metal stability, while the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte Li7P3S provided by the comparative example has good lithium metal stability. 11 When in contact with lithium metal, continuous side reactions are likely to occur, leading to the formation of an unstable solid electrolyte layer at the interface, and may even cause corrosion of the lithium metal, which in turn makes it impossible to maintain the cycle process for a long time.

[0145] The glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte and preparation method thereof provided in the present application have excellent interface stability (interface stability to lithium metal negative electrode).

[0146] Table 3 Air stability test results

[0147]

[0148] According to Table 3, the following conclusions can be drawn:

[0149] Compared with the comparative example, it can be seen from Examples 1 to 12 that the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte prepared by the element doping technology of metal elements, oxygen elements and iodine elements has an ionic conductivity of 1.98mS / cm~4.25mS / cm after exposure, and the average ionic conductivity after exposure can reach 3.06mS / cm, and the retention rate is between 77.95% and 89.47%, and the average retention rate can reach 84.27%, which is much higher than the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte Li7P3S provided in the comparative example. 11 The ionic conductivity after exposure (0.79 mS / cm) and the retention rate (43.65%) show that the ionic conductivity of the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes provided in Examples 1 to 12 remains at a high level after exposure to air. The average ionic conductivity after exposure is only 0.54 mS / cm lower than the average ionic conductivity at the initial measurement. 11 The ionic conductivity after exposure was 1.02 mS / cm lower than the ionic conductivity at the time of initial measurement.

[0150] Table 4 Battery cycle performance test results

[0151]

[0152] According to Table 4, the following conclusions can be drawn:

[0153] Compared with the comparative example, Examples 1 to 12 show that the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte is prepared by the element doping technology of metal elements, oxygen elements and iodine elements, and the first efficiency and 100-cycle capacity retention rates of the all-solid-state battery are between 81.50% and 88.10% and between 82.50% and 91.20%, respectively. The average first efficiency and average 100-cycle capacity retention rates can reach 83.92% and 87.01%, respectively, which are much higher than the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte Li7P3S provided in the comparative example. 11 The first efficiency (76.30%) and 100-cycle capacity retention rate (67.70%) of the all-solid-state battery obtained thereby are shown to be 76.30% and 67.70% respectively. This indicates that the all-solid-state batteries obtained by using the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolytes provided in Examples 1 to 12 maintain a high charge and discharge efficiency both in the first charge and after 100 charge and discharge cycles. The low Young's modulus of the electrolyte helps the all-solid-state battery maintain a stable contact between the electrolyte and the electrode material during the cycle, thereby reducing capacity attenuation. The glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte Li7P3S provided in the comparative example 11 After 100 charge and discharge cycles, the ratio of discharge capacity to charging capacity of the obtained all-solid-state battery was only 67.70%, which means that the battery capacity has decayed to a certain extent.

[0154] The glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte and its preparation method provided in the present application have the characteristics of low Young's modulus, which can maintain good solid-solid interface contact between the active material and the solid electrolyte to extend the cycle life of the solid-state battery and meet the requirements of low cycle pressure and low preparation pressure of the all-solid-state battery.

[0155] In summary, the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte and its preparation method provided in this application have excellent interfacial stability (interfacial stability to the lithium metal negative electrode and air stability) and low Young's modulus. More importantly, the glass-ceramic sulfide electrolyte has excellent ionic conductivity.
