Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solid-state lithium batteries, in particular to a lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film, a preparation method and application thereof, and a quasi-solid-state battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium metal anode has become an ideal choice for high-energy-density energy storage devices due to its low redox potential and excellent specific capacity characteristics. Among various electrochemical energy storage systems, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have become the most promising energy storage solution in the field of electric vehicles and mobile electronic devices due to their excellent mass energy density, stable cycle characteristics, and good portability. However, commercial lithium-ion batteries have safety risks due to the use of organic liquid electrolyte systems. Studies have shown that the use of solid-state electrolytes can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems and can be used with lithium metal anodes, greatly optimizing battery performance.

[0003] The use of solid-state electrolytes instead of liquid electrolytes not only significantly improves the safety of the battery, but also exhibits excellent chemical stability and lithium dendrite suppression ability, thereby improving the electrochemical performance and cycle performance of the battery. Among them, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is widely used in solid-state electrolytes due to its good film-forming performance, high ductility, and high dielectric constant. However, PVDF has low intrinsic ionic conductivity, high crystallinity, and other problems that hinder ion migration, affecting battery performance. Therefore, a strategy of introducing inorganic fillers into the polymer system is often used to improve the above-mentioned situation. Currently, commonly used inorganic fillers include lithium aluminum titanate (LATP) and lithium lanthanum titanate oxide (LLTO) containing Li + conductive particles, but the above inorganic fillers have the problem of high price, and their effect on improving ionic conductivity is also general. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film, a preparation method and application thereof, and a quasi-solid-state battery. The lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film provided by the present application uses a lithiumized clay mineral as an inorganic filler, which is low in cost and can significantly improve the ion transmission rate and the ionic conductivity of PVDF.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned application purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions: The present application provides a preparation method of a lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film, comprising the following steps: mixing lithium halide, clay mineral and water first, carrying out ion exchange reaction to obtain lithiumized clay mineral; mixing the lithiumized clay mineral, polyvinylidene fluoride, organic lithium salt and organic solvent second to obtain a composite slurry; The composite slurry is applied on the surface of the substrate, and heat curing is performed to obtain a lithiated clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film.

[0034] The present application provides an application of the above lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte membrane in a lithium ion battery.

[0035] The present application provides a quasi-solid-state battery, which comprises a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) positive electrode sheet, the above lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte membrane and a lithium metal negative electrode sheet arranged in sequence. In the present application, the loading amount of lithium iron phosphate on the surface of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet is preferably 1-2 mg / cm 2 , and more preferably 1-1.5 mg / cm 2 .

[0036] In the present application, electrolyte is applied to the two side surfaces of the lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte membrane. In the present application, the components of the electrolyte include an electrolyte and a solvent, the electrolyte is preferably LiPF6, and the solvent is preferably a mixed solvent of DMC, EC and EMC, and the volume ratio of DMC, EC and EMC in the mixed solvent is preferably 1:1:1.

[0037] In the present application, the application amount of the electrolyte on the single side surface of the lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte membrane is preferably 3-15 μL, and more preferably 5-10 μL.

[0038] In the present application, the quasi-solid-state battery further preferably comprises a negative electrode shell, a spring sheet, a gasket and a positive electrode shell. The present application is preferably assembled and packaged in the order of negative electrode shell, lithium metal negative electrode sheet, lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte membrane, lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet, spring sheet, gasket and positive electrode shell.

[0039] The lithiumized clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte membrane, the preparation method and the application thereof and the quasi-solid-state battery provided by the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the examples, but they should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] Example 1 (1) Lithiumized clay mineral preparation method, the following steps are adopted: Anhydrous lithium chloride and sodium montmorillonite (NaMMT, particle size 1-2 μm) were used as raw materials. 5.0 g of NaMMT and 25 g of anhydrous lithium chloride (LiCl) were accurately weighed and placed in a 500 mL beaker. Under continuous stirring, 200 mL of deionized water was slowly added to form a uniform mixed system. Then the mixed solution was placed in a 60°C constant temperature water bath and stirred at a speed of 800 r / min for 12 h to promote the exchange of Li + with the interlayer hydrated cations of NaMMT. After the reaction was completed, the mixed solution was centrifuged at a speed of 6000 r / min, and the lower precipitate was collected. The above exchange process was repeated three times, and 25 g of LiCl and 200 mL of deionized water were added each time to ensure sufficient ion exchange. The final precipitate obtained by centrifugation was dried in a vacuum at 80°C for 12 h to obtain the target product, lithium montmorillonite (LiMMT).

[0041] The obtained lithium montmorillonite was subjected to XRD analysis, and the results are shown in Figure 1 . Figure 1 The XRD analysis results show that the crystal structure of montmorillonite is completely preserved during the modification process. Notably, compared with NaMMT, the d(001) crystal plane diffraction peak position of LiMMT shifts from 5.82° to 7.14°. According to the Bragg equation, the interlayer distance of the original NaMMT is 15.17 Å, while the interlayer distance of LiMMT is reduced to 12.37 Å. This change in interlayer distance is mainly due to the replacement of Na + (0.102 nm) with smaller radius Li + (0.076 nm) during the ion exchange process, resulting in a shorter distance between adjacent silicate layers.

[0042] The obtained lithium montmorillonite was subjected to XPS analysis, and the results are shown in Figure 2 . The XPS characterization results show that after ion exchange treatment, the Si, Al and O elements in the framework structure of montmorillonite do not change significantly. However, from the high-resolution XPS spectrum of LiMMT, a significant Li 1s characteristic peak can be observed, and no Na 1s signal is detected. This phenomenon confirms that most of the Na + in the interlayer of the original NaMMT has been replaced by Li + during the modification process.

[0043] (2) A method for preparing a lithium clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte membrane, which comprises the following steps: Accurately take 0.45 g of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), 0.3 g of lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), and 0.0045 g of LiMMT, place the sample in a 20 mL screw glass sample bottle, add 3.6 g of N,N-dimethylformamide dropwise, and seal the sample bottle with sealing glue. Place the sealed sample bottle in a constant temperature stirrer and keep stirring at a constant speed at 30°C for 12 hours for full reaction to obtain a composite slurry. The physical map of the obtained composite slurry is shown in Figure 3 .

[0044] Use a doctor blade with a height of 600 μm to control the doctor blade thickness, and coat the uniformly mixed slurry on the surface of the glass substrate. Then place the sample in a vacuum environment at 60°C for 12 hours of drying and curing treatment, and finally obtain a lithiumated clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film with a thickness of 30-40 μm, which is recorded as PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT(1%). The physical map of the composite solid electrolyte film is shown in Figure 4 .

[0045] Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that the mass ratio of PVDF to lithiumated clay mineral is 10:0.5, and the prepared lithiumated clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film is recorded as PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT(5%).

[0046] Example 3 The difference from Example 1 is that the mass ratio of PVDF to lithiumated clay mineral is 10:1, and the prepared lithiumated clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film is recorded as PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT(10%).

[0047] Comparative Example 1 The difference from Example 1 is only that no LiMMT is added, and the prepared PVDF-based solid electrolyte is recorded as PVDF-LiTFSI.

[0048] Structural characterization and performance test (1) Figure 5 SEM images of the solid electrolytes obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1. Figure 5PVDF-LiTFSI, b is PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT (1%), c is PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT, d is PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT (10%). It can be seen that the solid-state electrolytes obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 all exhibit a flat surface morphology; in particular, it is worth noting that the sample of PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT (1%) exhibits the optimal surface characteristics, and the structure is uniform, dense and smooth, which helps to improve the compatibility of the electrode / electrolyte interface, thereby improving the migration efficiency of lithium ions at the interface.

[0049] Figure 6 SEM images of the cross-section of the solid-state electrolytes obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1. Figure 6 PVDF-LiTFSI, b is PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT (1%), c is PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT, d is PVDF-LiTFSI@LiMMT (10%). The cross-section of the solid-state electrolyte was observed by SEM, and the SEM images showed that the thickness of the solid-state electrolytes obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 was in the range of 30 to 40 microns.

[0050] (2) The composite solid-state electrolytes obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to XRD testing, and the results are shown in Figure 7 The XRD analysis results are shown in Figure 7 The PVDF powder exhibits characteristic diffraction peaks at 18.3°, 19.9° and 26.3°, corresponding to the alpha, beta and gamma three crystal phases, respectively; after film forming treatment, the diffraction peaks of the alpha and gamma phases are significantly weakened, and the beta phase becomes the dominant crystal form in the solid-state electrolyte system. It is worth noting that the beta phase PVDF with a higher dielectric constant can promote the dissociation of lithium salt and effectively improve the ionic conductivity.

[0051] (3) The composite solid-state electrolytes obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to tensile testing, and the results are shown in Figure 8 Figure 8 ​The tensile property test results show that the introduction of LiMMT significantly improves the mechanical properties of the PVDF-LiTFSI-based solid electrolyte membrane. Compared with the PVDF-LiTFSI group, when the content of LiMMT is 1%, the composite solid electrolyte membrane exhibits excellent ductility and toughness; and when the content of LiMMT increases to 5%, the tensile strength of the material slightly increases, the ductility slightly decreases, but the stress-strain curve is slightly different from that of the sample with an addition amount of 1%. It is worth noting that the addition of excessive LiMMT (10%) will cause the mechanical properties of the electrolyte membrane to decrease significantly, losing the modification advantage. This phenomenon shows that there is an optimal range of the addition amount of LiMMT, and excessive addition will weaken the enhancement effect of LiMMT on the mechanical properties of the polymer electrolyte.

[0052] (4) The electrochemical window was measured by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) method. Li||SS battery was used as the test battery, and the open circuit voltage was slowly scanned to the positive voltage at a scan rate of 0.1 mV S -1 . The linear sweep voltammetry curve of the solid electrolyte obtained in Example 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 is shown in Figure 9 . Figure 9 The LSV test data show that, compared with Comparative Example 1 (4.05 V), Example 2 (4.55 V) and Example 3 (3.98 V), Example 1 exhibits a significantly widened electrochemical window, and the decomposition voltage is increased to 4.86 V; this excellent electrochemical performance enables it to adapt to high-voltage electrochemical systems, and has the potential to be practically applied to commercial lithium batteries.

[0053] (5) The ion conductivity of the electrolyte was measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). SS||SS battery was used as the test battery for electrochemical impedance test, the test temperature range was 30-80℃, the frequency range was 0.1-10 5 Hz, and the amplitude was 10 mV. After the impedance test, the impedance spectra of Comparative Example 1 (a), Example 1 (b), Example 2 (c), and Example 3 (d) at different temperatures are shown in Figure 10 . The thickness of the electrolyte membrane was measured by disassembling the battery, and the ion conductivity was calculated according to the formula σ=d / (R·S), wherein the R value was taken from the impedance spectrum results. The calculation results are shown in Figure 11 . It can be found by observation that, among all the electrolyte systems, Example 1 always exhibits the highest ion conductivity in the temperature range of 30-80℃ (30-80℃), which is 1.06×10 -3 S / cm at 30℃ and 2.03×10 -3 S / cm at 80℃; the σ value is brought into the Arrhenius equation σT=Aexp(-Ea / RT) to calculate the activation energy of the electrolyte, as shown in Figure 12As shown, the Ea of Example 1 is 0.122 eV, which is much lower than that of Comparative Example 1 (0.249 eV), Example 2 (0.243 eV), and Example 3 (0.175 eV). This indicates that the Li in the electrolyte of Example 1 is significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 1 (0.249 eV), Example 2 (0.243 eV), and Example 3 (0.175 eV). + With a lower migration barrier, migration behavior is more likely to occur, which can effectively avoid concentration polarization and ensure Li + Uniform deposition.

[0054] The lithium-ion transference number was obtained through testing of Li||Li symmetric cells using a combination of chronoamperometry and impedance spectroscopy, employing a modified Bruce-Vincent-Evans formula. Li + =(I s (ΔV-I0R0)) / (I0(ΔV-I s R s Calculations were performed, and all tests were conducted at room temperature. The DC and AC spectra of the solid electrolytes obtained in Comparative Example 1(a), Example 1(b), Example 2(c), and Example 3(d) are shown below. Figure 13 As shown. Test results indicate that there are significant differences in migration performance among the various embodiments. Specifically, Embodiment 1 ( Figure 13 Sample b) exhibited the best migration characteristics, with a migration number as high as 0.6, significantly better than other samples: Comparative Example 1 (0.25, Figure 13 a) Example 2 (0.33, Figure 13 c) Example 3 (0.35, Figure 13 (d) This result fully demonstrates the significant advantage of Example 1 in terms of migration performance.

[0055] Application Example 1 The solid electrolyte membranes obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 were used to prepare quasi-solid-state batteries, as follows: A quasi-solid-state battery mainly consists of: a negative electrode shell, a lithium metal negative electrode, an electrolyte dropped onto the first contact surface of a solid electrolyte membrane, a solid electrolyte membrane, an electrolyte dropped onto the second contact surface of the solid electrolyte membrane, a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet, a gasket, a spring, and a positive electrode shell. The lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet has a loading capacity of 1.2 mg / cm³. 2 .

[0056] The first contact surface of the solid electrolyte membrane is the contact surface between the solid electrolyte and the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode, and the second contact surface is the contact surface between the solid electrolyte membrane and the lithium metal negative electrode. The electrolyte used is 1M LiPF6 in DMC:EC:EMC=1:1:1 Vol%, with a drop volume of 5μL added to each contact surface. The solid electrolyte is cut into 16mm diameter discs to fit the dimensions of the positive and negative electrode shells. Assembled in the above order, a quasi-solid-state battery based on the LFP||Li system is obtained.

[0058] The rate performance of the four groups of solid electrolytes was evaluated at 25℃, and the charge and discharge rates were set to 0.1C, 0.2C, 0.5C, 1C and 2C in turn, and the rate performance diagram of the quasi-solid battery is shown in Figure 15 The experimental data show that, compared with other samples, Example 1 shows the most excellent rate cycle performance, and its discharge specific capacity maintains a leading level in the whole test interval. Especially under high rate conditions, when the current density is increased to 1.0C, the discharge specific capacity of Example 1 can reach 118.2mAh / g; even if it is further increased to 2.0C, it can still maintain a discharge specific capacity of 92mAh / g.

[0059] Application Example 2 The high voltage resistance performance of the lithiated clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film of Example 1 was evaluated by using NCM811||Li battery system (the cycle window was 3.0-4.3V), the electrolyte was 1M LiPF6in DMC:EC:EMC=1:1:1 Vol%, the drop amount was 5μL per contact surface, and a total of 10μL was added in the whole battery. The test was carried out at 0.5C rate and room temperature, and the cycle performance diagram is shown in Figure 16 The cycle results show that the initial discharge specific capacity is 172.2mAh / g, and after 100 cycles, it still maintains a reversible capacity of 127.5mAh / g, and the corresponding cycle capacity retention rate is 74%. The results show that the lithiated clay mineral PVDF-based composite solid electrolyte film obtained by the application has good cycle stability under high voltage conditions.
