Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of secondary battery technology, and in particular to a negative electrode sheet, a solid-state battery, and a method for preparing the negative electrode sheet. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional anode materials (such as graphite and silicon-carbon) occupy a certain volume and mass within the battery, limiting the improvement of energy density in solid-state batteries. To further improve the energy density of solid-state batteries, anode-less battery technology has emerged. Its basic idea is to avoid pre-loading a lithium metal anode during battery assembly, instead directly extracting lithium ions from the positive electrode and depositing them on the anode current collector during charging to form a metallic lithium anode. Theoretically, this design can significantly increase the battery's energy density because it eliminates the volume and mass occupied by the anode active material and allows for the use of thinner anode current collectors.
[0003] However, during the charge-discharge cycle of a battery without a negative electrode, active lithium is difficult to deposit uniformly on the surface of the negative electrode current collector. Instead, it tends to form needle-like or dendritic lithium dendrites on the surface of the negative electrode current collector. The deposited lithium dendrites can easily pierce the solid electrolyte membrane, leading to internal short circuits in the battery and causing rapid capacity decay.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet, a solid-state battery, and a negative electrode sheet to improve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a negative electrode sheet, a solid-state battery, and a method for preparing the negative electrode sheet, in order to improve the technical problem that lithium metal deposited on the negative electrode current collector in a negative electrode-less battery tends to form lithium dendrites, which can easily puncture the solid electrolyte membrane, causing battery short circuits and rapid capacity decay.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a negative electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet comprising a negative current collector, a first coating, and a second coating.
[0007] The first coating is disposed on the negative electrode current collector, and the first coating includes a carbon material and a first lithiophilic material, the first lithiophilic material including a lithiophilic metal oxide; the second coating is disposed on the first coating, the second coating including a second lithiophilic material, the second lithiophilic material including a lithiophilic metal and / or a lithium alloy of the lithiophilic metal.
[0008] In one example of the present invention, the first lithiophilic material includes at least one of TiO2, ZnO, and SnO2.
[0009] In one example of the present invention, the second lithiophilic material includes at least one of Ag, Al, Au, Sn, Zn, Ca, In, Pb, Bi, Mg, or lithium alloys of the above materials.
[0010] In one example of the present invention, the second lithiophilic material includes at least one of Ag, Zn, Mg, or lithium alloys of the above materials.
[0011] In one example of the present invention, the thickness of the first coating is 100 nm to 10 μm.
[0012] In one example of the present invention, the thickness of the second coating is 50 nm to 5 μm.
[0013] In one example of the present invention, the average particle size of the first lithiophilic material is 1 nm to 1 μm.
[0014] In one example of the present invention, the areal density of the first coating is 0.05 mg / cm³. 2 ~2mg / cm 2 .
[0015] In one example of the present invention, the average particle size of the second lithiophilic material is 1 nm to 500 nm.
[0016] In one example of the present invention, the areal density of the second coating is 0.01 mg / cm³. 2 ~1mg / cm 2 .
[0017] In one example of the present invention, the first coating further includes a binder, the binder having a mass content of 1 wt% to 5 wt% in the first coating, the mass content of the first lithiophilic material and the carbon material in the first coating being 95 wt% to 99 wt%, and the mass ratio of the first lithiophilic material to the carbon material being (5 to 99):(1 to 95).
[0018] In one example of the present invention, the mass content of the first lithiophilic material in the first coating is 4.5 wt% to 96 wt%, and the mass content of the carbon material in the first coating is 0.95 wt% to 92 wt%.
[0019] In one example of the present invention, the carbon material includes at least one of graphene, carbon nanotubes, hard carbon, soft carbon, carbon fiber, and carbon black.
[0020] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet, the method comprising:
[0021] A first coating is formed on the negative electrode current collector; the first coating comprises a carbon material and a first lithiophilic material, wherein the first lithiophilic material comprises a lithiophilic metal oxide.
[0022] A second coating is formed on the first coating to obtain a negative electrode sheet; the second coating includes a second lithiophilic material, which includes a lithiophilic metal and / or a lithium alloy of the lithiophilic metal.

[0032] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other. It should also be understood that the terminology used in the embodiments of the present invention is for describing specific implementation schemes and not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Test methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions are generally performed under conventional conditions or according to the conditions recommended by the respective manufacturers.
[0033] It should be noted that the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" used in this specification are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as part of the scope of the invention.
[0034] In this specification, the average particle size (Dv50) can be defined as the equivalent diameter of the particle corresponding to the volumetric 50% proportion in the particle size distribution curve. The average particle size (Dv50) can be measured, for example, by laser diffraction. Dv50 can be obtained using a HELOS-RODOS type dry laser particle size analyzer. Laser diffraction can typically measure particle sizes from the submicron range to several millimeters, thus providing highly reproducible and high-resolution results.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a negative electrode sheet comprising a negative current collector 1, a first coating 2, and a second coating 3. The negative current collector 1 has two surfaces opposite each other in its own thickness direction. The first coating 2 and the second coating 3 are disposed on at least one surface of the negative current collector 1, such that the first coating 2 and the second coating 3 are sequentially disposed on the surface of the negative current collector 1 facing the positive electrode sheet in a direction away from the negative current collector 1. The first coating 2 is disposed on the negative current collector 1, and the second coating 3 is disposed on the first coating 2, with the surface of the second coating 3 in contact with a solid electrolyte membrane. The first coating 2 comprises a carbon material and a first lithiophilic material, the first lithiophilic material comprising a lithiophilic metal oxide. The second coating 3 comprises a second lithiophilic material, the second lithiophilic material comprising at least one of a lithiophilic metal and a lithiophilic lithium alloy.
[0036] The carbon material and the first lithiophilic material uniformly composited in the first coating 2 form a porous or network-like substrate. The first lithiophilic material in the substrate utilizes its abundant oxygen vacancies to further reduce the lithium nucleation potential at the metal interface of the second coating 3, and provides multiple uniformly distributed lithium nucleation sites at the substrate to assist the second coating 3 in inducing the uniform deposition and spreading of active lithium at the negative electrode interface during the initial stage of charging. At the same time, the first lithiophilic material in the first coating 2 also provides a transport channel and storage space for lithium ions in the negative electrode, which can promote the uniform deposition and dissolution of lithium ions on the negative electrode during subsequent charge and discharge cycles, and further suppress the appearance of lithium dendrites on the negative electrode surface. Furthermore, the carbon material mixed with the first lithiophilic material in the first coating 2 can construct a highly conductive three-dimensional network structure in the substrate. On the one hand, the three-dimensional network structure can provide a buffer space to alleviate the volume change stress of the negative electrode sheet caused by lithium deposition / dissolution and prevent the negative electrode interface from peeling off during charging and discharging. On the other hand, it can improve the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet, rapidly transfer electrons during charging and discharging, avoid excessive accumulation of local current density in the negative electrode, reduce side reactions at the negative electrode interface, and prevent uneven charge distribution at the negative electrode sheet interface from inducing lithium dendrite growth.
[0037] As an interfacial coating that directly contacts the solid electrolyte, the second coating 3 provides a highly lithium-friendly negative electrode interface with better compatibility with the solid electrolyte. Based on the lithium alloying properties of the second lithium-friendly material, the second coating 3 can induce rapid and uniform nucleation growth of lithium ions at the negative electrode interface. On the other hand, by forming an alloy phase during cycling as a host for lithium deposition, it stabilizes the contact interface between the negative electrode and the solid electrolyte, reduces the occurrence of side reactions, and thus improves the battery cycle capacity.
[0038] In some embodiments, the mass content of the first lithiophilic material in the first coating is any value in the range of 4.5 wt% to 96 wt%, for example, the mass content of the first lithiophilic material in the first coating can be 4.5 wt%, 4.75 wt%, 5 wt%, 7 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt%, 40 wt%, 50 wt%, 60 wt%, 70 wt%, 80 wt%, 90 wt%, 95 wt%, or 96 wt%.
[0039] In some embodiments, the mass content of carbon material in the first coating is any value in the range of 0.95wt% to 92wt%, for example, the mass content of carbon material in the first coating can be 0.95wt%, 1wt%, 5wt%, 10wt%, 15wt%, 20wt%, 25wt%, 30wt%, 40wt%, 50wt%, 60wt%, 70wt%, 80wt%, 90wt%, or 92wt%.
[0040] When the content of the first lithiophilic material and carbon material in the first coating is within the aforementioned mass content range, the negative electrode sheet can be guaranteed to have both good structural strength and lithiophilic and conductive properties. If the content of the first lithiophilic material in the first coating is too high and the content of carbon material is too low, it will lead to an increase in the resistance of the first coating, hindering electron transport in the negative electrode sheet, reducing rate performance, and consequently causing uneven current distribution at the negative electrode interface under high current density, increasing the risk of lithium dendrite growth at the negative electrode interface, and deteriorating the cycle life of the battery. If the content of the first lithiophilic material in the first coating is too low and the content of carbon material is too high, it will result in insufficient number of root lithium nucleation sites provided by the first coating of the negative electrode sheet, which will easily lead to localized lithium deposition at the negative electrode interface, also increasing the risk of lithium dendrite growth at the negative electrode interface and negatively impacting the cycle life of the battery.
[0041] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first coating is any value within the range of 100 nm to 10 μm, for example, the thickness of the first coating can be 100 nm, 200 nm, 500 nm, 700 nm, 1 μm, 3 μm, 5 μm, 7 μm, or 10 μm. When the thickness of the first coating is within the above-mentioned thickness range, the uniformity of lithium deposition at the negative electrode interface can be ensured without occupying too much battery space. If the thickness of the first coating is too thin, the negative electrode will lack a sufficient number of lithium nucleation sites and electron transport pathways at the bottom layer, causing lithium ion reduction during charging to preferentially occur in a few regions of the negative electrode interface, thereby inducing non-uniform lithium deposition at the negative electrode interface and increasing the risk of lithium dendrite growth. If the thickness of the first coating is too thick, although it will not worsen the uniform deposition process of active lithium at the negative electrode interface, it will lead to excessive coating load and a decrease in battery energy density.
[0042] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second coating is any value within the range of 50 nm to 5 μm. For example, the thickness of the second coating can be 50 nm, 100 nm, 500 nm, 700 nm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, or 5 μm. When the thickness of the second coating is within the above-mentioned range, the stability of the lithium-affinity interface between the negative electrode and the solid electrolyte membrane can be maintained while reducing space occupation. If the thickness of the second coating is too thin, it will affect the interfacial contact stability between the negative electrode and the solid electrolyte membrane, increase the interfacial impedance on the surface of the negative electrode, lead to non-uniform deposition of active lithium at the negative electrode interface, and increase the risk of lithium dendrite growth.
[0043] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the first lithiophilic material is any value within the range of 1 nm to 1 μm. For example, the average particle size Dv50 of the first lithiophilic material can be 1 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, 800 nm, or 1 μm. When the particle size of the first lithiophilic material is within the above range, a suitable size of the first lithiophilic material can enable the first coating to have a high specific surface area while providing dense and uniformly distributed lithium nucleation sites in the first coating. It can also utilize the gaps between nanoparticles to provide a shorter diffusion path for lithium ions, thereby helping lithium ions to diffuse and deposit rapidly and uniformly on the negative electrode, and effectively suppressing the formation of lithium dendrites at the negative electrode interface.
[0044] Optionally, the average particle size Dv50 of the first lithiophilic material can be any value within the range of 10 nm to 100 nm, such as 10 nm, 20 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 60 nm, 80 nm, or 100 nm. When the average particle size of the first lithiophilic material is within the above range, particle agglomeration leading to uneven particle distribution can be avoided, and more uniformly distributed lithium diffusion channels and nucleation sites can be provided, thereby improving the reaction kinetics of active lithium deposition and dissolution in the negative electrode, and further improving the cycle capacity and life of the battery.
[0045] In some embodiments, the areal density of the first coating is 0.05 mg / cm³. 2 ~2mg / cm 2 Any value within the range, for example, the areal density of the first coating can be 0.05 mg / cm³. 2 0.1 mg / cm 2 0.3 mg / cm 2 0.5 mg / cm 2 0.7 mg / cm 2 1mg / cm 2 1.3 mg / cm 2 1.5 mg / cm 2 1.7 mg / cm 2 Or 2mg / cm 2 .
[0046] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the second lithiophilic material is any value within the range of 1 nm to 500 nm. For example, the average particle size Dv50 of the second lithiophilic material can be 1 nm, 5 nm, 10 nm, 30 nm, 50 nm, 70 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, or 500 nm. When the particle size of the second lithiophilic material is within the above range, the uniform distribution of lithiophilic particles in the second coating and the mechanical stability of the overall structure can be maintained. If the particle size of the second lithiophilic material is too small, the particles are prone to agglomeration in the second coating, affecting the uniformity of particle distribution in the second coating and the uniformity of lithium nucleation barrier at the lithiophilic contact interface. This can easily lead to excessive current accumulation in local areas during charging and discharging, thereby inducing the growth of lithium dendrites at the negative electrode interface and deteriorating the battery's cycle capacity and lifespan. If the particles of the second lithiophilic material are too large, they are prone to severe volume expansion and contraction during charge and discharge cycles, causing the second coating particles to rapidly pulverize and fail to achieve stable interfacial contact with the solid electrolyte membrane, resulting in rapid capacity decay of the battery.
[0047] Optionally, the average particle size Dv50 of the second lithiophilic material can be any value within the range of 1 nm to 50 nm, such as 1 nm, 3 nm, 5 nm, 10 nm, 15 nm, 20 nm, 25 nm, 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm, or 50 nm. When the particle size of the second lithiophilic material is within the above range, the arrangement of the second lithiophilic material in the second coating can be further optimized, improving the kinetic performance of the second coating in depositing or dissolving active lithium, thereby further improving the cycle life of the battery.
[0048] In some embodiments, the areal density of the second coating is 0.01 mg / cm³. 2 ~1mg / cm 2 Any value within the range, for example, the areal density of the second coating can be 0.01 mg / cm³. 2 0.05 mg / cm 2 0.1 mg / cm 2 0.2 mg / cm 2 0.3 mg / cm 2 0.4 mg / cm 2 0.5 mg / cm 2 0.6 mg / cm 2 0.7 mg / cm 2 0.8 mg / cm 2 0.9 mg / cm 2 or 1mg / cm 2 .

[0158] The solid-state batteries prepared in Examples 1 to 32 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were subjected to cycle performance tests to verify the effect of the negative electrode on improving the cycle performance of the battery. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0160] Table 1: Parameters of negative electrode sheets prepared in Examples 1 to 32 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, and performance test results of assembled batteries.
[0161]
[0162]
[0163] Comparing the test results of Examples 1 to 31 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that, compared with the negative electrode sheet using only bare copper foil in Comparative Example 1, the negative electrode sheet using a double-layer lithium-loving coating structure in the present invention can effectively suppress the formation of lithium dendrites on the negative electrode surface, reduce the loss of active lithium and the increase in impedance caused by side reactions and dead lithium in the negative electrode sheet, and reduce the risk of short circuit in the battery during cycling, thereby significantly improving the cycle life of the solid-state battery.
[0164] Comparing the test results of Examples 1 to 17 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that, due to the lack of a first coating, the negative electrode current collector in Comparative Example 2 loses its underlying mechanical support substrate, electronic conduction framework, and root lithium nucleation sites. This leads to the negative electrode being prone to uneven surface current distribution during cycling, making it difficult to effectively control lithium dendrite growth. Furthermore, excessive electrode deformation can cause interface peeling at the negative electrode coating interface, resulting in a sharp deterioration in battery cycle life. In contrast to Comparative Example 2, the negative electrode in this embodiment utilizes a balanced mixture of a first lithiophilic material and a carbon material in the first coating, providing a substrate with both good conductivity and mechanical strength, and providing multiple uniformly distributed lithium nucleation sites within the substrate. The first coating in the negative electrode can prevent uneven current density distribution at the negative electrode interface during battery cycling, promote uniform spreading of active lithium at the negative electrode interface, and inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites at the negative electrode interface. Simultaneously, it reduces volume deformation of the negative electrode due to lithium deposition / dissolution, preventing interface peeling and thus significantly improving battery cycle life.
[0165] Comparing the test results of Examples 3, 9 to 28 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that if the negative electrode sheet in Comparative Example 3 lacks a second coating, the negative electrode sheet lacks a highly lithium-affinity trapping layer and a uniform lithium deposition spreading platform on its surface, resulting in poor lithium deposition uniformity during the initial charging stage; and the first coating with oxide lithium-affinity material will be directly exposed to the electrolyte interface, affecting the long-term stability of the negative electrode interface, and side reactions are prone to occur during long-term cycling, thereby reducing battery impedance and capacity.
[0166] Comparing the test results of Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that if a second lithiophilic material is placed in the first coating of the negative electrode sheet, and a first lithiophilic material and carbon material are placed in the second coating, the lithium nucleation potential of the bottom coating of the negative electrode sheet will be higher than that of the top coating. This will hinder the deposition of active lithium in the bottom layer during charging and discharging, making it difficult to fully utilize the capacity-enhancing effect of the double-layer coating structure. At the same time, it will also cause the oxide lithiophilic material to be directly exposed to the electrolyte interface, making it impossible to protect the oxide lithiophilic material. This will lead to an increase in side reactions under long-term cycling, which will have a negative impact on battery impedance and cycle life.
[0167] Comparing the test results of Examples 1 to 4, it can be seen that the mass content of the first lithiophilic material and the carbon material in the first coating has a crucial impact on the battery cycle performance. If the mass content of the first lithiophilic material in the first coating is too low and the mass content of the carbon material is too high, it will lead to insufficient lithiophilic sites provided by the negative electrode substrate, resulting in uneven lithium deposition during cycling, which increases the probability of lithium dendrite formation and affects the battery cycle life. If the mass content of the first lithiophilic material in the first coating is too high and the mass content of the carbon material is too low, it will lead to increased impedance of the negative electrode, hindering electron transport. The negative electrode is prone to uneven current distribution under high-rate current, which in turn exacerbates the risk of local lithium dendrite formation and affects battery life.
[0168] Comparing the test results of Examples 9 to 13, it can be seen that when the Dv50 of the first lithiophilic material is within the suitable range of 10nm to 100nm, the cycle performance of the battery can reach its optimal level. If the Dv50 of the first lithiophilic material is too small, the extremely small particles of the first lithiophilic material are prone to agglomeration, resulting in uneven particle distribution in the first coating, affecting the uniformity of lithium nucleation sites provided by the first coating, and increasing the risk of lithium dendrite formation. If the Dv50 of the first lithiophilic material is too large, the specific surface area of the first coating will be low, and the number of lithium nucleation sites provided by the first coating will be relatively small, which will easily lead to uneven lithium deposition, increase the risk of lithium dendrite formation, and also increase the diffusion path of lithium ions between large particles, slowing down nucleation and reaction kinetics, and affecting the deposition and dissolution rate of active lithium on the negative electrode.
[0169] Comparing the test results of Examples 14 to 17, it can be seen that when the thickness of the first coating is within a suitable range of 100 nm to 10 μm, it can optimize both battery capacity and cycle life, resulting in optimal battery cycle performance. If the thickness of the first coating is too thin, the negative electrode sheet will lack a sufficient number of lithium nucleation sites and electron transport pathways at the bottom layer. This will cause lithium ion reduction during charging to preferentially occur in a few regions of the negative electrode interface, thereby inducing non-uniform lithium deposition at the negative electrode interface and increasing the risk of lithium dendrite growth. If the thickness of the first coating is too thick, although it will not worsen the uniform deposition process of active lithium at the negative electrode interface, it will lead to excessive coating load and a decrease in battery energy density.
[0170] Comparing the test results of Examples 20 to 24, it can be seen that when the Dv50 of the second lithiophilic material is within the suitable range of 1nm to 50nm, the cycle performance of the battery can reach its optimal level. If the Dv50 of the second lithiophilic material is too small, the particles of the second lithiophilic material are prone to agglomeration in the second coating, affecting the uniformity of particle distribution in the second coating and the uniformity of lithium nucleation barrier at the lithiophilic contact interface. This can easily lead to the accumulation of excessive current in local areas during charging and discharging, thereby inducing the growth of lithium dendrites at the negative electrode interface and deteriorating the cycle capacity and lifespan of the battery. If the Dv50 of the second lithiophilic material is too large, severe volume expansion and contraction can easily occur during charge and discharge cycles, causing the particles of the second coating to pulverize rapidly and failing to achieve stable interfacial contact with the solid electrolyte membrane, resulting in rapid capacity decay of the battery.
[0171] Comparing the test results of Examples 25 to 28, it can be seen that when the thickness of the second coating is within a suitable range of 50 nm to 5 μm, the stability of the lithium-affinity interface between the negative electrode and the solid electrolyte membrane can be maintained while minimizing space occupation, thereby further improving battery cycle performance. If the thickness of the second coating is too thin, it will affect the stability of the interface between the negative electrode and the solid electrolyte membrane, increase the interfacial impedance of the negative electrode surface, and lead to non-uniform deposition of active lithium at the negative electrode interface, increasing the risk of lithium dendrite growth. If the thickness of the second coating is too thick, it will result in excessive coating load, affecting the battery energy density.
[0172] Comparing the test results of Examples 3, 29 to 31, and Example 32, it can be seen that the battery cycle performance deteriorates when the sulfide electrolyte used in the solid-state battery is not doped with elements such as Sb, In, Bi, and Mg, while the battery cycle performance is significantly improved after doping with elements such as Sb, In, Bi, and Mg. This is because the doping modification of the sulfide electrolyte can improve the interfacial chemical and physical contact between the sulfide electrolyte and the electrode, suppress the occurrence of interfacial side reactions, form a stable interfacial layer, thereby reducing interfacial impedance and improving the cycle life and power performance of the battery.
