Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium battery, and particularly relates to an ultrathin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film and a preparation method thereof and a lithium metal battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium metal battery (LMB) is considered as the core carrier of the next generation of high energy density energy storage system due to its extremely high theoretical energy density (3860 mAhg -1 ) and low redox potential (-3.04 V vs. SHE). However, the uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites in the traditional liquid electrolyte system causes battery short circuit, interface side reaction and thermal runaway, which seriously hinders its practical application. Although solid-state electrolyte (SSE) can inhibit dendrites through physical barrier, the high interface impedance, low ionic conductivity (especially <0.1 mS cm -1 ) and poor mechanical flexibility of solid-state materials generally existing, make it difficult to balance the design of ultrathin and long-term cycle stability. In recent years, quasi-solid-state electrolyte (QSE) partially alleviates the interface problem by introducing plasticized ion transport medium (such as ionic liquid, polymer gel), but its mechanical strength (usually <1 GPa) is still insufficient to effectively resist lithium deposition stress, and the use of flammable organic solvents brings safety hazards. In addition, the thickness of the existing QSE is more than 20 µm, which significantly reduces the volume energy density of the battery, and the ultrathin design (<10 µm) often sacrifices the mechanical properties, forming a mutual exclusion dilemma of "rigidity-thickness-safety". SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides an ultrathin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film and a preparation method thereof and a lithium metal battery, to solve the problem that the quasi-solid-state electrolyte film in the prior art cannot balance rigidity, thickness and safety.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present application, the present application provides an ultrathin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film formed by blade coating of a quasi-solid-state electrolyte slurry; the quasi-solid-state electrolyte slurry includes a binder and a non-binder component, and the non-binder component includes aramid nanofiber, metal organic framework nanoparticle, solvent and electrolyte.

[0005] The aramid nanofiber in the quasi-solid electrolyte slurry of the present application can serve as a mechanical reinforcing framework due to its high modulus (~100 GPa) and thermal stability, the metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles can be used to guide the directional transport of lithium ions due to their adjustable nanopore channels and surface chemical properties, the solvent can improve the performance of the electrolyte membrane by adjusting the rheological properties of the slurry, dispersing solid particles, controlling the microstructure of the membrane, improving the interfacial compatibility, controlling the thickness of the membrane, and affecting the drying process of the membrane, and the electrolyte serves as an ion transport carrier. The ultra-thin quasi-solid electrolyte membrane of the present application realizes the improvement of ion conductivity through the synergistic effect of aramid nanofiber, MOF nanoparticles, solvent and electrolyte, ultra-thin design (4-10 μm), rigidity improvement, and further enhancement of the dendrite resistance of quasi-solid lithium metal batteries, realizing high energy density, and solving the mutual exclusion problem of "rigidity-thickness-safety" of traditional quasi-solid electrolyte membranes.

[0006] Further, the aramid nanofiber is selected from one or more of para-aramid nanofiber or meta-aramid nanofiber. The para-aramid nanofiber or meta-aramid nanofiber has higher modulus and stability, and can form a synergistic effect with the metal-organic framework nanoparticles to improve the performance of the ultra-thin quasi-solid electrolyte membrane.

[0007] Further, the aramid nanofiber is preferably poly-p-phenylene terephthalate nanofiber. The poly-p-phenylene terephthalate nanofiber has ultra-high modulus and thermal stability, and can significantly improve the mechanical strength and dendrite puncture resistance of the ultra-thin quasi-solid electrolyte membrane.

[0008] Further, the metal-organic framework nanoparticles are one or more of UIO-66, MOF-801, MOF-808, MNNU-5, MIL-101, HKUST-1, and MOF-5.

[0009] Further, the metal-organic framework nanoparticles are preferably UIO-66. UIO-66 has a stable zirconium-oxygen cluster structure and adjustable pore size (0.8-1.2 nm) to efficiently guide the directional transport of lithium ions, and can form a better synergistic effect with the aramid nanofiber of the present application to improve the ionic conductivity of the ultra-thin quasi-solid electrolyte membrane to 0.33-0.47 mS / cm.

[0010] Further, the mass percentage content K% of the aramid nanofiber in the non-binder component and the length L and diameter D1 of the aramid nanofiber satisfy: K=M*(L*D1) 2 / 3 wherein M is a correction factor, and is 1.1.

[0011] Further, the binder is one or more of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (P(VDF-HFP)), polyacrylic acid, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polytetraethylene glycol diacrylate, sulfur-nitrogen polymer (SN), pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA), and copolymers or combinations thereof.

[0012] Further, the solvent is one or more of water, dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), acetonitrile, chloroform, dimethyl sulfoxide, dichloromethane, nitrogen methyl pyrrolidone, acetone.

[0013] Preferably, the mass percentage content K% of the aramid nanofiber in the non-binder component is 1-21%. The mass percentage content in the above range can better balance the rigidity and ionic conductivity of the ultra-thin quasi-solid electrolyte membrane. If the content is too low, it is not conducive to the formation of fiber network, and thus not conducive to the formation of an effective mechanical skeleton. If the content is too high, the excess fiber will block the ion channel, thereby causing the ionic conductivity to decrease.

[0014] Further, the mass percentage content X% of the metal-organic framework nanoparticles in the non-binder component and the average particle size D2 of the metal-organic framework nanoparticles satisfy: 0.3*K≤X≤D2 / 5.

[0015] Preferably, the mass percentage content X% of the metal-organic framework nanoparticles in the non-binder component is 5-13%.

[0016] Limiting the mass percentage content of the metal-organic framework nanoparticles (5%-13%) can make the nanoparticles uniformly dispersed in the electrolyte membrane and form suitable ion transmission channels. This not only ensures efficient transmission of lithium ions, but also avoids excessive particles causing a decrease in the compactness of the membrane or too few particles failing to fully play their role in guiding ion transmission, further optimizing the ionic conductivity and interface stability of the electrolyte membrane.

[0017] Further, the length L of the aramid nanofiber ranges from 4 to 10 pm, and the diameter D1 ranges from 5 to 15 nm; the diameter D2 of the metal-organic framework nanoparticle ranges from 50 to 100 nm. By limiting the size of the aramid nanofiber and the metal-organic framework nanoparticle within a reasonable range, the optimal performance of these components in the electrolyte membrane can be ensured. The length and diameter of the aramid nanofiber within the specified range can form an effective mechanical reinforcement framework, without affecting the flexibility and ion transmission performance of the membrane due to excessive size. The particle size of the metal-organic framework nanoparticle between 50 and 100 nm can ensure that it has sufficient specific surface area and porosity to promote lithium ion transmission, and can be uniformly dispersed in the membrane to avoid particle agglomeration affecting the uniformity and electrical performance of the membrane.

[0018] Further, the solvent is selected from one or more of NMP, DMF, DMAc. These solvents have good solubility and volatility, which can fully mix the components in the slurry and form a stable slurry system, facilitating the subsequent coating process. At the same time, the appropriate solvent helps to control the drying speed and forming quality of the membrane, thereby affecting the microstructure and performance of the electrolyte membrane.

[0019] Further, the electrolyte includes one or more of a first electrolyte and a second electrolyte; the first electrolyte is an ionic liquid containing a metal salt; and the second electrolyte is formed by dissolving a metal salt in a non-aqueous solvent.

[0020] The metal salt can be LiTFSI or LiPF6, etc. The non-aqueous solvent can be one or more of DMC, EC, EMC, DOL, DEC.

[0021] Preferably, in the second electrolyte, the concentration of the metal salt is 1-2 mol / L.

[0022] Preferably, the mass percentage of the electrolyte in the non-binder component is 10-90%. Limiting the mass percentage of the electrolyte within a reasonable range is beneficial for adjusting the porosity of different membrane compositions to ensure the full utilization of the pores.

[0023] Further, the thickness of the ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte membrane is 4-10 pm. At this thickness, the ultra-thin design of the membrane can be realized while ensuring that the electrolyte membrane has sufficient mechanical strength and ion transmission performance. The ultra-thin electrolyte membrane can reduce the internal resistance of the battery, improve the power density and energy density of the battery, and also help to shorten the transmission path of lithium ions, further improving the charge and discharge rate and cycle performance of the battery, meeting the requirements of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries for the thickness of the electrolyte membrane.

[0024] According to a second aspect of the present application, the present application also provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film, comprising the following steps:

[0025] The aramid nanofiber, the metal organic framework nanoparticles, the solvent and the electrolyte are mixed to obtain a quasi-solid-state electrolyte slurry; the obtained quasi-solid-state electrolyte slurry is coated on the positive electrode side of a lithium metal battery, and dried to obtain an ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film.

[0026] The preparation method is simple and efficient, and the ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film can be obtained by directly coating and drying the slurry obtained by mixing the components, which is easy to operate and mass-produced. This preparation method can ensure uniform distribution of the components in the film, form an electrolyte film with good mechanical properties and ion transmission performance, and is suitable for the assembly and practical application of lithium metal batteries, thereby providing a feasible way for the industrial production of the ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film.

[0027] Further, the drying is performed at 70-80℃ for 6-12h. The special limitation of the drying condition can ensure that the solvent in the slurry is fully volatilized, so that the electrolyte film is completely dried and formed, while avoiding the performance damage of the film caused by high temperature or long time, such as thermal decomposition of aramid nanofiber or structural damage of metal organic framework nanoparticles. Suitable drying conditions help to obtain an ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film that is uniform, dense and stable in performance, thereby ensuring the performance and safety of the battery during use.

[0028] According to a third aspect of the present application, the present application also provides a lithium metal battery comprising the above-mentioned ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film or an ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method of the ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film.

[0029] The application of the above-mentioned ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film in lithium metal batteries can fully exert its excellent performance, effectively solve the problems of traditional liquid electrolytes and solid electrolytes in lithium metal batteries, such as safety hazards caused by lithium dendrite growth, high interfacial impedance, low ionic conductivity, poor mechanical properties, etc. The electrolyte film can improve the dendrite resistance of the battery, enhance the cycle stability, rate performance and safety of the battery, realize the high performance and high energy density of the lithium metal battery, and promote the development and practical application of lithium metal battery technology.

[0030] The ultra-thin quasi-solid-state electrolyte film provided by the present application improves the ionic conductivity through the synergistic effect of aramid nanofiber, MOF nanoparticles, solvent and electrolyte, realizes ultra-thin design (4-10μm), improves the rigidity of the quasi-solid-state electrolyte film, and further enhances the dendrite resistance of the quasi-solid-state lithium metal battery, realizes high energy density, solves the mutual exclusion problem of “rigidity-thickness-safety” of traditional quasi-solid-state electrolyte film, and has better application prospect in lithium metal batteries.
