AI Technical Summary

Furthermore, the preparation process is complex, making it difficult to achieve large-area uniform films.
A continuous three-dimensional ion channel was constructed by using lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3LZP) oligomer and fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer (PVDF-HFP) to form hydrogen/covalent interfacial bonds through modification with trimethyl phosphate (TMP), followed by solution casting at low temperature. Alternatively, the lithium zirconium phosphate (LZP) oligomer was modified with the silane coupling agent γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) to form a chemical bond interface with the polymer matrix, or the interface was bridged by the ionic liquid bridging agent EMIM-TFSI.
Significantly reduces interface impedance, increases lithium-ion transference number and ionic conductivity, enabling high energy density and high safety solid-state lithium batteries, simplifying the fabrication process and avoiding high-temperature and high-pressure treatment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium battery material technology, and specifically relates to a composite solid electrolyte and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Solid electrolytes are the core material for next-generation high-safety lithium batteries, and they need to have both high ionic conductivity (>10). -4 The electrolytes possess high dielectric constant (S / cm), low interfacial impedance, and excellent mechanical strength. Traditional solid-state electrolytes (such as LLZO and LATP) suffer from high interfacial impedance and dendrite growth due to insufficient contact between rigid particles and the electrode interface. Existing composite electrolytes often use inorganic fillers (such as SiO2 and Al2O3) blended with polymers (PEO and PVDF). However, the poor interfacial compatibility between inorganic fillers and polymer matrices easily creates ion transport bottlenecks. Furthermore, the low dielectric constant of the fillers (<10) makes it difficult to effectively shield lithium salt ion pairs, thus limiting the improvement of ion mobility. The shortcomings of existing technologies include: poor dispersibility of the inorganic component in solvents: due to a lack of sufficient functional groups, inorganic fillers exhibit poor dispersibility in organic solvents, leading to layering and aggregation, which significantly affects the uniformity of the composite electrolyte membrane and makes it difficult to construct unobstructed lithium-ion migration pathways; poor interfacial contact: the physical mixing between the inorganic filler and the polymer matrix results in micron-sized voids at the electrolyte interface, causing discontinuous ion transport pathways; insufficient dielectric constant: traditional inorganic fillers have low dielectric constants, failing to fully dissociate lithium salts (such as LiFSI), thus limiting ionic conductivity (<10). -4 (S / cm); Complex process: requires high-temperature sintering or high-pressure molding, making it difficult to achieve large-area uniform film preparation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a method that eliminates physical interface voids between inorganic fillers and the polymer matrix, reduces interfacial impedance, and solves the problem of poor interfacial contact. It overcomes the limitation of traditional fillers with low dielectric constants (ε < 10), enhances lithium salt dissociation capabilities, and improves dielectric properties. It avoids high-temperature sintering / high-pressure molding, achieving low-temperature, large-area uniform film formation, thus simplifying the preparation process. Simultaneously, it increases ionic conductivity to > 5 × 10⁻⁵. -4 A composite solid electrolyte with optimized overall performance, including S / cm, lithium-ion transference number >0.65, and cycling stability, and its preparation method.

Its special feature is that, using the electrolyte, the ionic conductivity in the solid-state lithium battery is ≥6.0 × 10⁻⁶. -4 S / cm.
[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0041] (1) The phosphate / phosphonate groups of this invention can also improve the dispersibility and binding force between the inorganic filler and the polymer (PVDF-HFP) matrix, resulting in better interfacial contact of the composite solid electrolyte. Through the molecular-level contact solid electrolyte interface design and ultra-high dielectric constant characteristics, lithium-ion transport efficiency and interfacial stability are significantly improved, making it suitable for high-energy-density, high-safety solid-state lithium battery systems. LZP functionalization: Modification of LZP with TMP ensures both the size uniformity of lithium zirconium phosphate and the molecular-level dispersion of lithium zirconium phosphate clusters.
[0042] (2) Ultra-low degree of polymerization LZP oligomers: Low degree of polymerization (5-10) chain-like LZP was synthesized via the sol-gel method, achieving uniform dispersion at the nanoscale. The confinement effect of triethylamine avoided the traditional particle agglomeration problem. Molecular-level composites could be achieved between LZP and the polymer matrix; the molecular-level interface design eliminated interfacial voids, constructing continuous ion transport channels. The ultra-high dielectric constant (ε=60-80) of LZP oligomers efficiently shielded lithium salt ion pairs, increasing the lithium ion transference number (t). + >0.6); Self-supporting films (10-50 μm thick) can be prepared at room temperature by solution casting without the need for high temperature and high pressure treatment.
[0043] (3) This invention synthesizes low-polymerization-degree 5-10 chain LZP through the sol-gel method, achieving uniform dispersion at the nanoscale. Through the confinement effect of triethylamine, the problem of particle agglomeration in traditional methods is avoided.
[0044] (4) Molecular-level composite interface design: LZP oligomers are bonded to the fluoropolymer matrix via hydrogen bonds / dipole interactions, forming a defect-free ion transport interface. Dielectric constant regulation: The dielectric constant of LZP oligomers is >60, providing a strong polarization field for lithium salt dissociation and increasing ion mobility by more than 30%.
[0045] (5) Inorganic / organic bonding interface, molecular modification, ionic conductivity > 5 × 10⁻⁻⁶ 4 S / cm (25℃), lithium-ion transference number >0.65.
[0046] (6) Cyclic performance data: >1000 cycles, 0.5C, capacity retention 85%.
[0047] (7) In the prior art, the poor dispersibility of inorganic fillers leads to interfacial voids. The present invention achieves molecular-level interfacial bonding through TMP modification.
[0048] (7) Traditional fillers have a dielectric constant of <10, while the present invention uses LZP oligomers with a dielectric constant >60, which provides a strong polarization field for lithium salt dissociation and increases the ion transference number by more than 30%.
[0049] (9) LZP oligomers modified with TMP form hydrogen bonds with PVDF-HFP, eliminating interfacial voids and resulting in an interfacial impedance of <50Ω·cm. 2 The high dielectric constant LZP promotes lithium salt dissociation, resulting in an ion transference number >0.65.

[0056] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:
[0057] Example 1:
[0058] Composite solid electrolytes, including:
[0059] Lithium zirconium phosphate (LZP) oligomer: 2-50 wt%; chain-like nanoclusters with a degree of polymerization of 5-10, the surface of which is modified with trimethyl phosphate (TMP) to form phosphate groups; the LZP oligomer has a particle size of 2-200 nm and a mass percentage of 20-40%;
[0060] The polymer matrix is fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer PVDF-HFP;
[0061] The lithium salt is 5-20 wt%, which is lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) or lithium difluorooxalate borate (LiDFOB), and the molar ratio of the lithium salt to the polymer repeating unit is 1:8 to 1:12; the molar ratio of the lithium salt lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) to the fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer PVDF-HFP repeating unit is 1:8 to 1:12.
[0062] Among them, lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP) oligomers achieve molecular-level interfacial bonding through hydrogen bonds and dipole interactions between the phosphate groups of trimethyl phosphate (TMP) and the -CF2 groups of fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer (PVDF-HFP); correspondingly Figure 1-2 / 1-3TEM images and Figure 2 Infrared peak shift (1020cm) -1 );
[0063] Lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP) oligomers construct continuous three-dimensional ion channels in an electrolyte with a dielectric constant of 60–80; the electrolyte is formed into a film at a temperature below 60°C by solution casting.
[0064] The polymer matrix is replaced with polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyacrylonitrile (PAN); lithium titanate lanthanum (LLTO) nanowires are added to construct an electron-ion dual-conductivity network.
[0065] The preparation method of composite solid electrolyte includes the following steps:
[0066] (1) Sol-gel method for synthesizing lithium zirconium phosphate (LZP) oligomers: Zirconium source and lithium source are dissolved in ethanol, triethylamine is added to adjust the pH to 8-10, and after stirring to form a gel, phosphorus source is added, aged for 60 h, and dried and ground at 70 °C; the amount of triethylamine added in step (1) is controlled to control the pH to 8-10; the mass ratio of TMP to LZP in step (b) is 1:5-1:10;
[0067] (2) TMP modification: Disperse lithium zirconium phosphate LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP oligomers in ethanol, add TMP at a mass ratio of TMP to LZP of 1:5 to 1:10, stir the reaction and then evaporate the solvent.
[0068] (3) Ligand exchange: The trimethyl phosphate (TMP) modified lithium zirconium phosphate (LZP) oligomer was dispersed in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) solvent and ultrasonically treated for 2 h to replace the triethylamine ligand with N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC);
[0069] (4) Film formation:
[0070] Add polymer matrix PVDF-HFP and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) to the dispersion in step (3), stir at 60°C for 4 hours, then cast and vacuum dry at 60°C for 24 hours to obtain a self-supporting solid electrolyte film with molecular-level interfacial contact and high dielectric constant.
[0071] Working principle:
[0072] Ligand exchange: The lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP) oligomer is initially confined by triethylamine to maintain its size stability and uniformity. The phosphorus-oxygen double bond and phosphate group in the trimethyl phosphate (TMP) molecule can interact with the metal ions on the surface of the LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP oligomer to form a stable interface. Simultaneously, the phosphate groups can improve the dispersibility and binding force between the inorganic filler and the fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer (PVDF-HFP) matrix, resulting in better interfacial contact of the composite solid electrolyte and preparing it for subsequent molecular-level interfacial contact with the PVDF-HFP.
[0073] Molecular-level interfacial contact: The phosphate group in trimethyl phosphate (TMP) can bond with lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP) oligomers to modify them. Simultaneously, the end groups (-OH, -PO4) of the oligomers form hydrogen bonds and dipole interactions with the -CF2 groups of the fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer (PVDF-HFP), achieving chemical bonding between the inorganic and organic phases and eliminating interfacial defects.
[0074] Dielectric enhancement effect: The high dielectric constant (ε=60-80) of lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP) oligomers significantly reduces the lithium salt dissociation energy and increases the free Li... + concentration;
[0075] Three-dimensional ion channels: Lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3) oligomers form a continuous network in the polymer, which promotes Li transport by coordinating polymer chain segment movement.
[0076] Test results: Ionic conductivity 0.52 mS / cm (see [link]). Figure 4 As shown in the image, the infrared spectrum shows that the P=O peak has shifted to 1020 cm⁻¹. -1 (See also) Figure 2As shown in the figure, it is confirmed that trimethyl phosphate (TMP) is bonded to -CF2.
[0077] Example 2:
[0078] By replacing the fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer PVDF-HFP with polyethylene oxide (PEO), using lithium difluorooxalate borate (LiDFOB) as the lithium salt, and adding lithium titanate lanthanum (LLTO) nanowires (5 wt%), the ionic conductivity was maintained at >4.5 × 10⁻⁶. -4 S / cm.
[0079] Film formation process: Electrospinning technology is used (voltage 15kV, receiving distance 15cm);
[0080] Effect: Ionic conductivity remains at 1.8 × 10⁻⁶ at -20℃. -4 S / cm.
[0081] Comparative Example 1 (without silane modification):
[0082] Electrolytes of unmodified lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3)2,LZP oligomers: Trimethyl phosphate TEM showed agglomeration ( Figure 1-1 ), ionic conductivity <1×10 -4 S / cm; Using γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane KH550 instead of trimethyl phosphate TMP (Example 3): Ionic conductivity maintained >5×10 -4 S / cm"
[0083] Example 3:

[0087] Lithium salt: Lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), with a molar ratio of lithium salt to polymer repeating unit of 1:8 to 1:12;
[0088] Interface modifier: amino-containing silane coupling agent (KH550), whose siloxane groups form covalent bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of lithium zirconium phosphate LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP oligomers through hydrolysis and condensation, and the amino groups form hydrogen bonds with the fluorine / oxygen atoms of the polymer matrix;
[0089] Among them, lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP) oligomers, after modification with silane coupling agents, achieve molecular-level dispersion in DMAC solvent and form a chemically bonded interface with the polymer matrix, resulting in an ionic conductivity of the electrolyte membrane ≥5×10⁻⁶. -4 S / cm (25℃), interfacial impedance ≤50Ω·cm 2 .
[0090] The silane coupling agent is γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550), and its amount is 5-15% of the mass of lithium zirconium phosphate (LZP) oligomer.
[0091] A method for preparing a silane coupling agent modified composite solid electrolyte includes:
[0092] (1) Preparation of lithium zirconium phosphate (LiZr2(PO4)3,LZP oligomers by sol-gel method: zirconium source, lithium source and phosphorus source are reacted in ethanol, confined by triethylamine, aged for 60 h, dried and ground.
