Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of lithium metal battery solid-state electrolyte, and particularly relates to a molecular network modified composite solid-state electrolyte and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of energy storage technology, lithium ion batteries have long dominated the market with graphite negative materials. However, due to the theoretical capacity of graphite negative materials (372 mAh / g), the energy density of current commercial lithium ion batteries has reached the material limit, making it difficult to meet the urgent needs of the new energy industry for high-energy storage systems. In this context, lithium metal negative electrodes have become the focus of research again due to their excellent theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh / g) and the lowest electrochemical potential (-3.040 V vs. SHE), driving lithium metal batteries to become the core development direction of the next generation of high-energy density secondary batteries.

[0003] Although liquid electrolyte systems exhibit good performance in laboratory research, they face double challenges in practical applications: first, the volatility of organic electrolytes poses safety risks such as leakage and combustion; second, lithium metal is prone to dendrite growth during cycling, which not only exacerbates capacity decay but also can cause internal short circuits. To solve this industry technical problem, solid-state electrolyte technology has emerged, which has the advantages of intrinsic safety and mechanical rigidity, can eliminate the safety risks of liquid systems, and effectively inhibit lithium dendrite penetration through physical barriers, providing a key breakthrough for the practical application of lithium metal negative electrodes.

[0004] Current solid-state electrolyte systems mainly present three major technical routes: inorganic ceramic electrolytes exhibit high ionic conductivity of 1 x 10 -3 ~ 1 x 10 -2 S / cm and a wide electrochemical window of more than 4.5 V, but the electrode / electrolyte contact resistance caused by its rigid interface and the side reaction of some systems with lithium metal need to be solved; polymer electrolytes achieve low impedance contact due to their excellent interface compatibility, but their room temperature ionic conductivity is generally less than 1 x 10 -4 S / cm and their electrochemical stability is insufficient; hybrid electrolyte systems constructed through organic-inorganic composite strategies inherit the high lithium conductivity of inorganic phases and have the flexible interface advantage of polymer phases, and their room temperature ionic conductivity can be improved to 1 x 10 -3The ionic conductivity of the composite solid-state electrolyte is on the order of 10-4S / cm, while exhibiting good interface stability and processability, and has become the most promising technology direction for industrialization. However, the composite solid-state electrolyte has very superior ionic transport performance, but when it is actually applied to the battery, it usually presents unsatisfactory cycle stability. The reasons for the poor cycle stability of the composite solid-state electrolyte are on the one hand the "short board effect" in the electrolyte: the polymer part of the composite electrolyte often cannot withstand the oxidation problem brought by high voltage, and is prone to decomposition after long-time charge-discharge cycle; on the other hand, the structure of the composite electrolyte is not as dense as the polymer electrolyte and not as solid as the inorganic ceramic electrolyte, which has a bad impact on the interface stability and resistance to dendrite of the composite electrolyte.

[0005] The patent document CN202410263514.X discloses a flexible composite solid-state electrolyte and its preparation method and application, wherein the flexible composite solid-state electrolyte is prepared from the following raw materials in weight percentage: 5wt%-30wt% of solute salt; 5wt%-80wt% of inorganic filler; 10wt%-80wt% of polymer substrate, which is composed of polymer A and compound B in a mass ratio of 1-10:1, polymer A is one or more of polyether-based polyurethane or polyester-based polyurethane, and compound B is one or more of fluorine-containing polymer ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, polytetrafluoroethylene, fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer, perfluoroalkoxy resin, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl fluoride or polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene. The flexible composite solid-state electrolyte has a high voltage window of 5.0V, which can completely match the high voltage positive electrode material, and the assembled lithium iron phosphate / nickel cobalt manganese battery can realize stable cycle while having high specific capacity. However, the inorganic filler used in the flexible composite solid-state electrolyte mentioned in the patent document has poor compatibility with lithium metal, which leads to poor cycle stability when the electrolyte is used with lithium metal electrode, limiting the further application of the electrolyte in solid-state batteries.

[0006] The patent document CN202411831335.8 discloses a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer flexible composite solid electrolyte and its preparation method and application. The flexible composite solid electrolyte is prepared from the following raw materials in the following weight percentage: 1wt%-30wt% of solute salt; 5wt%-50wt% of inorganic filler; 40wt%-90wt% of polymer matrix, wherein the inorganic filler is one or more of active filler or inert filler, the active filler is one or more of garnet type filler, perovskite type material, LISICON type filler or NASICON type filler, the inert filler is one or more of natural clay, SiO2 or Al2O3, the polymer A is one or more of polyether type polyurethane, polyester type polyurethane, polyimide type polyurethane or polyurea type polyurethane, and the compound B is one or more of polyethylene glycol diacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate or tetraacrylate. The polymer A usually has excellent mechanical properties, and the hard segment and soft segment of the polymer A can provide mechanical properties and ion conduction properties respectively, so that the use of the polymer A as the polymer matrix can prepare a flexible composite solid electrolyte with excellent mechanical properties. The compound B can be excited by external conditions (such as heating or ultraviolet treatment) to break the double bond and generate a polymer crosslinking network rich in ether oxygen groups, which can further enhance the ion transmission efficiency inside the polymer matrix. The prepared composite solid electrolyte has high flexibility and high ion conductivity, and is expected to be applied to wearable electronic devices. However, the composite solid electrolyte mentioned in the patent document is affected by the residual alkali substances (such as lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide) on the surface of the garnet inorganic filler, which affects the interface stability of the electrolyte / electrode. At the same time, the polymer molecules used to form the polymer molecular network are prone to decomposition at high voltage, which leads to the decrease of the stability of the electrolyte during the charging and discharging process of the battery, which limits the practical application effect of the electrolyte.

[0007] Therefore, it is the top priority to develop a high practical performance composite solid electrolyte by designing and constructing an electrolyte with high ion transmission performance and high material stability. SUMMARY

[0008] The present application provides a molecular network modified composite solid electrolyte with high ion transmission performance and high material stability, and a preparation method thereof.

The polymer C has a large number of fluorine-containing groups on the molecular chain, which can attract lithium ions through large electronegativity and has strong oxidation stability. The inorganic filler plays a role in regulating the structure and providing ion transmission channels in the electrolyte, and in addition, the presence of the inorganic filler can also inhibit the effect of lithium dendrites to a certain extent.

[0066] 2. Test results

[0067] As shown in Figure 1 , the composite solid-state electrolyte film prepared in Example 1 has a light and thin bending morphology, and the flexible composite solid-state electrolyte can form ideal mechanical contact with the electrode in the battery when the battery is assembled, reducing the difficulty of lithium ion transmission at the electrode-electrolyte interface in the battery.

[0068] As shown in Figure 2 , the current of the composite solid-state electrolyte prepared in Example 1 begins to rise significantly after 4.8V, indicating that decomposition begins, indicating that the composite solid-state electrolyte obtained by Example 1 has ideal electrochemical stability and can be used with most high-voltage positive electrode materials on the market.
