Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrolyte technology, and in particular to a solid electrolyte, its preparation method, solid-state battery, and electrical device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicles and portable electronic devices, high-energy-density and high-safety rechargeable batteries have become a research hotspot. All-solid-state lithium batteries, by using non-flammable solid electrolytes instead of traditional organic liquid electrolytes, fundamentally solve safety issues such as battery leakage and combustion, while also possessing higher operating voltage and energy density, making them an ideal choice for next-generation energy storage technology. Among these, inorganic solid electrolytes have attracted significant attention due to their high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical window, and good thermal stability.
[0003] However, inorganic solid electrolytes still face many challenges in practical applications, especially in terms of interfacial contact with electrode materials. First, because the contact between the solid electrolyte and the electrode is solid-solid, there are inherent voids and poor contact at the interface, resulting in a significant increase in interfacial impedance, which seriously affects the rate performance and cycle life of the battery.
[0004] Furthermore, inorganic solid electrolytes typically require extremely high applied pressure (e.g., 200–400 MPa) to form effective contact with the electrodes. This not only increases the complexity and cost of battery assembly processes but also limits their integration into practical devices. Related technologies have attempted to reduce the pressing pressure by optimizing the electrolyte particle morphology, but their interface self-adaptation capabilities are insufficient, and they still cannot achieve long-term stable interface contact under low pressure.
[0005] In summary, developing an inorganic solid electrolyte that can form an adaptive interface with the electrode under low pressure, effectively fill the voids between the electrode and the electrolyte, and suppress lithium dendrite growth has significant scientific research value and practical application significance.

[0034] Furthermore, when the temperatures of Annealing II and Annealing I meet the above conditions, on the one hand, lithium evaporation during high-temperature annealing can be avoided, thereby reducing the lithium content, destroying the crystal structure, and causing a decrease in electrochemical performance; on the other hand, it is conducive to the formation of amorphous phase, which is beneficial to promoting lithium-ion conduction.

[0047] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. Attached Figure Description
[0048] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and readily understood from the description of the embodiments taken in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:
[0049] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional SEM image of the electrode-electrolyte interface at the experimental battery prepared in Example 1 of this invention after cycling.
[0050] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional SEM image of the electrode-electrolyte interface at the experimental battery prepared in Comparative Example 2 of this invention after cycling. Detailed Implementation
[0051] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0052] Unless otherwise specified, the reagents, methods and equipment used in this invention are all conventional reagents, methods and equipment in this technical field.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, a method for preparing a solid electrolyte is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0054] S1. Under an inert gas atmosphere, lithium bromide, metal bromide and solvent are mixed and heated, and the precursor is obtained after solid-liquid separation;
[0055] S2. Anneal the precursor sequentially through Annealing I and Annealing II to obtain the intermediate.
[0056] S3. The intermediate and lithium halide are mixed and ball-milled to obtain the solid electrolyte;
[0057] The annealing temperature of Annealing II is greater than that of Annealing I; the annealing temperature of Annealing II is ≤400℃.
[0058] Understandably, this invention first chemically combines lithium bromide and metal bromide using a solvent method to obtain a precursor, which is then annealed in stages I and II to obtain an intermediate. The intermediate and lithium halide are then ball-milled to obtain a solid electrolyte. During lithium stripping, the controlled migration of halide ions in this solid electrolyte causes the generation of an adaptive interface layer with high ionic conductivity between the electrolyte and the electrode in situ. This layer effectively fills the original voids between the electrode and the solid electrolyte, as well as the new voids generated by lithium stripping, thereby eliminating the high impedance defect caused by poor interface contact and suppressing the formation of lithium dendrites, thus improving the electrochemical performance of solid-state batteries.
[0059] Furthermore, the present invention ball-mills the intermediate and lithium halide so that during electrochemical cycling, the halide ions added by physical ball milling will migrate between the anode and the solid electrolyte, thereby dynamically constructing an adaptive solid electrolyte interface, effectively alleviating the problem of high interfacial impedance caused by voids, and also suppressing dendrite formation.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the annealing temperature of annealing I is 100°C to 200°C. For example, it includes 100°C, 120°C, 140°C, 150°C, 155°C, 160°C, 165°C, 180°C, 200°C, or any sub-range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the annealing time for Annealing I is 20 min to 40 min. For example, it includes 22 min, 24 min, 26 min, 28 min, 30 min, 32 min, 34 min, 36 min, 38 min, 40 min, or any sub-range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heating rate of annealing I is 8~12℃ / min. For example, it includes a sub-range of 8℃ / min, 9℃ / min, 10℃ / min, 11℃ / min, 12℃ / min, or any two of the above values.
[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, the annealing temperature of Annealing II is 250°C to 400°C. For example, it includes 250°C, 260°C, 280°C, 300°C, 320°C, 340°C, 360°C, 380°C, 400°C, or any sub-range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0064] Therefore, when the temperature of Annealing II is within the above range, on the one hand, lithium evaporation during high-temperature annealing can be avoided, thereby reducing the lithium content, destroying the crystal structure, and causing a decrease in electrochemical performance; on the other hand, it is conducive to the formation of amorphous phase, which is beneficial to promoting lithium-ion conduction.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the annealing time for Annealing II is 50 min to 70 min. For example, it includes 50 min, 52 min, 54 min, 56 min, 58 min, 60 min, 62 min, 64 min, 66 min, 68 min, 70 min, or any sub-range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heating rate of Annealing II is 2~5℃ / min. For example, it includes 2℃ / min, 3℃ / min, 4℃ / min, and 5℃ / min.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the metal bromide includes at least one selected from ferrous bromide, manganese bromide, magnesium bromide, rubidium bromide, or cesium bromide. Thus, the addition of the metal bromide serves two purposes: firstly, it facilitates the preparation of a solid electrolyte; secondly, it provides higher ionic conductivity and reduces interfacial impedance.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, lithium halides include at least one of lithium fluoride, lithium chloride, lithium bromide, or lithium iodide.
[0069] In this way, the solid electrolyte can avoid decomposition due to reaction when it comes into physical contact with the highly reactive lithium electrode, effectively ensuring that the solid electrolyte has good ionic conductivity. Furthermore, the directional migration of halide anions between the anode and the solid electrolyte can construct an adaptive solid electrolyte interface, effectively alleviating the problem of high interfacial impedance caused by voids and suppressing dendrite formation.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S1, the molar ratio of lithium bromide to metal bromide is 1:(0.1~3). For example, it includes sub-ranges such as 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.4, 1:0.6, 1:0.8, 1:1.0, 1:1.5, 1:1.8, 1:2, 1:2.4, 1:2.6, 1:2.8, 1:3, or any two of the above ratios.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S3, the molar ratio of the intermediate to lithium halide is 1:(0.1~0.4). For example, it includes sub-ranges of 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.3, 1:0.4, or any two of the above ratios.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inert gas includes at least one of nitrogen, argon, or helium.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reaction temperature in step S1 is 40°C to 50°C. For example, it includes 40°C, 42°C, 44°C, 46°C, 48°C, 50°C, or any sub-range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reaction time in step S1 is 2 hours to 4 hours. For example, it may be 2 hours, 3 hours, or 4 hours.
[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S1, the solid-liquid separation method includes low-temperature freeze drying, where low temperature refers to a temperature ≤-40°C.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S1, the precursor obtained after solid-liquid separation may further undergo a grinding step. This is more beneficial for subsequent annealing experiments.
[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the solvent includes at least one of acetonitrile, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, or ethyl acetate.
[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ball milling conditions satisfy at least one of the following:
[0079] i. 1~5mm zirconia microspheres;
[0080] ii. Ball-to-material ratio (3~6):1;
[0081] iii. Rotation speed 400~800 rpm;
[0082] iiii. Ball milling time: 6-12 hours.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S2, after annealing II, the intermediate is further ground through a 300-500 mesh sieve to obtain the intermediate.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention provides a solid electrolyte, which is prepared by the solid electrolyte preparation method of the first aspect of the present invention.
[0085] Thus, an adaptive interface layer with high ionic conductivity is generated in situ between the solid electrolyte and the electrode in this invention, which effectively fills the original voids between the electrode and the solid electrolyte and the new voids generated by lithium stripping, thereby eliminating the high impedance defect caused by poor interface contact and suppressing the formation of lithium dendrites, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of solid-state batteries.
[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, the chemical formula of the solid electrolyte is Li. a+d M b Br c X d ;in,
[0087] M is at least one of iron, manganese, rubidium, and cesium;
[0088] X is at least one of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine;
[0089] The values of a, b, and c are all integers greater than 0, and 0.1 ≤ d ≤ 0.4.
[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention provides a solid-state battery including the solid-state electrolyte described herein.
[0091] Therefore, the solid-state battery has all the beneficial effects of the solid electrolyte of the present invention, and further, the solid-state battery has the characteristics of high specific capacity, high cycle performance and high critical current density.

Furthermore, Examples 1-7 all showed high (>0.80 mA / cm²) performance. 2 The solid electrolyte provides a stable interface and exhibits excellent suppression of lithium dendrites, resulting in outstanding cycling performance. Comparative Example 1, due to the replacement of lithium bromide and ferrous bromide with lithium chloride and ferrous chloride, showed a significant performance decrease.

The results are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown; Figure 1 The left image shows the SEM map of the interface. Figure 1 The right figure shows the energy spectrum at the interface. Figure 2 The SEM image at the interface is compared with... Figure 2It can be seen that the solid electrolyte prepared in Example 1 forms a dense interface layer between the contact interface with the electrode, which effectively alleviates the problem of high interface impedance caused by poor interface contact and effectively suppresses the formation of lithium dendrites.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
