Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid-state battery technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing and applying a gradient-structured high-temperature and high-pressure resistant solid electrolyte membrane. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, liquid rechargeable batteries remain the most widely used batteries in the consumer electronics, electric vehicle, and energy storage battery fields. However, due to the inherent chemical properties of liquid organic solvents, liquid rechargeable batteries still face the following challenges: the flammable and volatile liquid electrolyte is highly susceptible to ignition and explosion during thermal runaway; the liquid electrolyte can undergo side reactions with the electrodes and produce lithium dendrites, leading to capacity decay and short-circuit risks, thus limiting battery life and reliability. All-solid-state batteries, with their advantages of high energy density, intrinsic non-flammability, high safety, and long cycle life, completely eliminate the risks of flammability and leakage associated with traditional liquid electrolytes, fundamentally avoiding thermal runaway accidents such as battery fires and explosions. However, the poor solid-solid interface contact in all-solid-state batteries results in extremely high interfacial impedance, and the ionic conductivity often fails to meet practical requirements, leading to poor rate capability and cycle performance, severely restricting the commercial application of all-solid-state batteries.
[0003] Gel polymer electrolytes combine the safety and high ionic conductivity of solid organic electrolytes. However, while traditional gel polymer electrolytes exhibit high ionic conductivity due to the presence of liquid plasticizers, they still have shortcomings when facing thermal runaway. When the temperature rises sharply, the melting of the polymer backbone and the decomposition of the liquid plasticizer cause the gel polymer electrolyte to lose its mechanical strength, failing to effectively prevent contact between the positive and negative electrodes, ultimately leading to short circuits and fires. Furthermore, a single polymer material cannot simultaneously achieve high room-temperature ionic conductivity and a high-temperature shut-off effect; gradient polymerization can simultaneously optimize interfacial contact, ion migration kinetics, and thermal response sensitivity. Therefore, developing gradient-polymerized gel polymer electrolytes capable of automatically triggering physical or chemical changes to prevent thermal runaway chain reactions can effectively improve the thermal safety performance of electrolytes. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on the above technical background, this invention provides a method for preparing a high-temperature and high-pressure resistant solid electrolyte membrane with a gradient structure and its application in high-safety lithium / sodium batteries. This solid electrolyte membrane uses a porous polymer membrane substrate as its basic framework, which can effectively improve the tensile strength of the polymer electrolyte. Photoinitiated vinyl ether polymers exhibit good interfacial compatibility and long-term stability, while further enhancing the mechanical strength of the polymer membrane. The polymer-type deep eutectic electrolyte can maintain high lithium-ion conductivity while instantaneously copolymerizing with thermosetting polymer monomers in situ during thermal runaway, drastically increasing its resistance or cutting off ion pathways, thereby instantly suppressing current and preventing thermal runaway chain reactions.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A method for preparing a high-temperature, high-pressure resistant solid electrolyte membrane with a gradient structure includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Drop heat-responsive polymer precursor slurry onto a porous polymer membrane substrate until the slurry is uniformly dispersed on the porous polymer membrane substrate to obtain a prepolymer membrane; at room temperature, the heat-responsive polymer precursor slurry inside the porous structure of the prepolymer membrane remains in a liquid state, and at high temperature, thermally initiated in-situ polymerization will occur to generate a heat-resistant thermosetting polymer insulation layer.
[0008] Step 2: Coat the photoresponsive polymer precursor slurry evenly on the prepolymer film containing the thermally responsive polymer precursor slurry, and irradiate it under ultraviolet light for 5-30 minutes until the outer photoresponsive polymer precursor is fully polymerized to obtain a solid electrolyte membrane.
[0009] The thermally responsive polymer precursor slurry includes a thermosetting polymer monomer, a polymeric deep eutectic electrolyte, and a thermal initiator; the photoresponsive polymer precursor slurry includes a photoresponsive polymer monomer, a polymeric deep eutectic electrolyte, and a photoinitiator.
[0010] The mass ratio of photoresponsive polymer monomers to polymeric deep eutectic electrolyte in the photoresponsive polymer precursor slurry is 1-10:1-20. The photoinitiator is a cationic photoinitiator, and its mass percentage is 0.1%-0.5% of the total mass of the photoresponsive polymer monomers and polymeric deep eutectic electrolyte. The photoinitiator includes diaryliodonium salt, triaryliodonium salt, alkyliodonium salt, and cumeneferrocene hexafluorophosphate.
[0011] Furthermore, the photoresponsive polymer monomer includes one or more of the following polymer monomers: methyl vinyl ether, n-butyl vinyl ether, ethyl vinyl ether, n-butyl vinyl ether, isobutyl vinyl ether, perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether, perfluorosulfonic acid vinyl ether, hydroxyethyl vinyl ether, hydroxybutyl vinyl ether, cyclohexyl vinyl dimethyl ether, 1,4-cyclohexanediethanol divinyl ether, and triethylene glycol divinyl ether. The photoinitiated vinyl ether system exhibits good interfacial compatibility, thermal safety, and high-pressure stability.
[0012] Furthermore, the thermosetting polymer monomer includes one or more of triallyl isocyanurate, triallyl cyanurate, diallyl phthalate, and diallyl bisphenol A thermosetting polymer monomers. The thermosetting polymer polymer, after thermal initiation polymerization, forms a three-dimensional network structure with the polymeric deep eutectic electrolyte through chemical cross-linking. This network structure possesses excellent electronic insulation and high-temperature resistance, capable of instantly cutting off electron transport during thermal runaway, preventing chain reactions of thermal runaway, and preventing short circuits, fires, or even explosions at the positive and negative electrodes, thereby ensuring the thermal safety of the battery. The mass ratio of thermosetting polymer monomer to polymeric deep eutectic electrolyte in the thermally responsive polymer precursor slurry is 1-5:1-10. The thermal initiator is a free radical type thermal initiator, and its mass percentage is 0.1%-0.5% of the total mass of the thermosetting polymer monomer and the polymeric deep eutectic electrolyte.
[0013] Furthermore, the polymer-type deep eutectic electrolyte is prepared by mixing polymer amide monomers and lithium / sodium salts; the molar ratio of polymer amide monomers to lithium / sodium salts is 1:1-20:1.
[0014] Furthermore, the polymer amide monomer includes one or more of N-isopropylacrylamide, N-ethylacrylamide, N-hydroxyethylacrylamide, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and N,N-diethylacrylamide; the lithium salt includes one or more of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium nitrate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, lithium difluorooxalate borate, lithium bis(fluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, lithium trifluoroacetate, and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate; the sodium salt includes one or more of sodium hexafluorophosphate, sodium tetrafluoroborate, sodium nitrate, sodium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, sodium difluorooxalate borate, sodium bis(fluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, sodium trifluoroacetate, and sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate.
[0015] Furthermore, in step one, the porous polymer membrane substrate includes commercial porous polyethylene, porous polypropylene, porous polyethylene / porous polypropylene composite membrane, or porous polymer membrane substrate prepared from one or more of PVDF-HFP, PMMA, PAN, and PEO as raw materials.
[0016] Furthermore, the addition amount of the thermally responsive polymer precursor slurry is 1-5 μL / cm³. 2 The addition amount of photoresponsive polymer precursor slurry is 5-10 μL / cm³. 2 .
[0017] Furthermore, the method for preparing the porous polymer membrane substrate includes the following steps:
[0018] Step 1: Heat and stir the polar solvent and polymer solid particles at 50-70℃ until the particles are completely dissolved to obtain a homogeneous and stable mixed solution for subsequent coating and casting film formation processes; the mass ratio of polymer solid particles is 5%-15%; high temperature can increase the kinetic energy of solvent molecules and weaken the interaction forces between polymer chains, thereby significantly accelerating the dissolution rate;
[0019] Step 2: Add the pore-forming agent to the above mixed solution, continue heating and stirring at 50-70℃ until the solid flocs are completely dissolved, and then continue stirring at room temperature for 12 h to uniformly disperse the polymer molecular chains, forming a thermodynamically stable homogeneous transparent solution, thus obtaining a phase inversion solution; the mass ratio of the mixed solution to the pore-forming agent is 100:1-100:5;
[0020] Step 3: Apply the phase inversion solution to the substrate by casting or coating method, with a thickness of 200-1000 μm. After the polar solvent evaporates naturally, immerse the substrate coated with the phase inversion solution in a water bath for 5-30 minutes. The phase inversion solution undergoes deep phase separation, and the polymer film substrate forms a porous structure.
[0021] Step 4: Remove the polymer membrane substrate from the water bath, soak and wash it with deionized water to thoroughly remove residual solvent and pore-forming agent. First, allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature, then place it in a vacuum oven for final drying to obtain the porous polymer membrane substrate. Adjust the coating thickness of the phase inversion solution to prepare porous polymer membrane substrates of different thicknesses, ranging from 5-50 μm.
[0022] Furthermore, in step 1, the polymer is one or a mixture of PVDF-HFP, PMMA, PAN, and PEO.
[0023] Furthermore, the polar solvent includes one or more of acetonitrile, acetone, and N-methylpyrrolidone, and the pore-forming agent is one or more of water, methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol; the pore-forming agent has good compatibility with the main polar solvent.
[0024] An application of the solid electrolyte membrane prepared by the preparation method described above is disclosed. The solid electrolyte membrane is used in a high-temperature resistant and high-safety solid lithium / sodium battery, wherein the solid lithium / sodium battery includes a positive electrode, a solid electrolyte membrane prepared by the above method, and a negative electrode.
[0025] Lithium-ion battery cathodes include high-nickel layered oxides, lithium-rich manganese-based oxides, lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, or high-voltage nickel-manganese.
[0026] Lithium-ion battery anodes include niobium-based oxides, metallic lithium, graphite, silicon-based materials, or lithium titanate.
[0027] Sodium-ion electrodes include layered oxides, polyanionic compounds, sodium vanadium fluorophosphate, or Prussian blue electrodes.
[0028] Sodium electrode anodes include metallic sodium, hard carbon, niobium-based oxides, or titanium-based oxides.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0030] 1. The unique porous membrane structure of the porous polymer membrane substrate provides uniform storage and ion conduction space for the subsequently injected polymer-type deep eutectic electrolyte, while also preventing leakage of the liquid slurry applied later and enhancing the mechanical strength of the final electrolyte membrane.
[0031] 2. The photoresponsive polymer electrolyte has a gradient structure that combines rigidity and flexibility. The outer layer of the polymer membrane is made of a highly flexible and elastic vinyl ether polymer with good interfacial compatibility. The internal polymer-type deep eutectic electrolyte also ensures that the porous polymer membrane substrate has high ionic conductivity at room temperature. At high temperature, the inner thermally responsive polymer slurry will undergo in-situ polymerization, constructing a binary gradient structure of flexible photopolymer layer / rigid thermal polymer layer.
[0032] 3. The thermosetting polymer monomer and the polymer-type deep eutectic electrolyte can undergo in-situ thermal polymerization at the moment of thermal runaway, realizing rapid and abrupt shutdown of ion conduction, thereby quickly blocking thermal runaway.
[0033] 4. The coating method used is a mature thin film preparation technology that can be easily integrated into the existing battery roll-to-roll production process, and the industrialization threshold is relatively low.
[0034] 5. The solid electrolyte adopts an integrated process: the three major functions of the separator, solid electrolyte, and safety layer are integrated into a single thin film, which simplifies the battery structure and improves the energy density.
[0035] 6. The components of the porous polymer membrane substrate, pore-forming agent, and polymer-type deep eutectic electrolyte can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of different systems such as lithium batteries and sodium batteries.
[0036] 7. The greatest innovation of this invention lies in transforming "passive protection" into "active self-adaptation," and cleverly solving the contradiction between high ionic conductivity and high safety, and good interfacial contact and high mechanical strength through the binary gradient structure design of flexible photopolymer layer / rigid thermopolymer layer and integrated fabrication process. This provides a very promising solution for building the next generation of high-safety, high-energy-density lithium / sodium batteries. Attached Figure Description

[0069] As can be seen from the attached diagram in the instruction manual:

Furthermore, as... Figure 2 As shown, the high-temperature and high-pressure resistant solid electrolyte membrane with a gradient structure prepared in Example 5 exhibits a high lithium-ion transference number, significantly reducing concentration polarization within the electrolyte.

Figure 3 As shown, the high-voltage performance of the battery in Example 6 was further evaluated. The solid electrolyte membrane exhibited good high-voltage cycling stability under a charge-discharge mechanism of 4.65V / 0.5C. This indicates that the gradient structure design of the electrolyte not only effectively suppresses electrolyte decomposition and harmful interface growth at the high-voltage positive electrode, but also maintains good interfacial compatibility with the lithium metal anode, giving it the potential to simultaneously possess high voltage (high energy density), long cycle life (interfacial stability), and high safety (dendritic suppression). Figure 4 As shown, the sodium-ion battery electrolyte membrane based on this gradient structure design concept has a high ionic conductivity of 0.11 mS / cm, proving that this gradient structure design concept is a universal solution for high-performance electrolyte structures.
