Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of solid-state battery technology, and in particular to a multifunctional conductive binder, a negative electrode sheet, a method for preparing the same, and a solid-state battery. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon-based anode materials undergo dramatic volume expansion during charge-discharge cycles due to the alloying reaction mechanism, with expansion exceeding 300%. This repeated expansion and contraction process causes multiple damages to the electrode structure: active silicon particles are prone to pulverization and fracture, leading to permanent failure of electrical contact with the current collector; the internal structure of the electrode and the solid-solid interface contact between the electrode and the solid electrolyte are severely damaged, resulting in high contact resistance, hindering the lithium-ion transport path, and causing rapid degradation of battery performance; at the same time, continuous structural damage constantly exposes fresh silicon surfaces, triggering repeated formation and disintegration of the solid electrolyte interface film, consuming a large amount of limited lithium source and electrolyte, resulting in a significant reduction in coulombic efficiency and rapid capacity decay.
[0003] To alleviate the aforementioned problems, existing technologies generally employ a combination of polymer binders (such as polyvinylidene fluoride) and conductive additives (such as carbon black) to maintain electrode structural integrity and electronic pathways. However, this approach has fundamental limitations: traditional binders such as polyvinylidene fluoride have weak intermolecular forces and insufficient mechanical modulus, failing to effectively constrain the movement of silicon particles under high stress, leading to easy breakage of the bonded network; the physical mixing mode of binders and conductive agents is inefficient, with conductive agent particles only forming point contacts with silicon particles, making them prone to separation during volume changes, disrupting the electronic conduction path, and requiring the addition of a high proportion of inert conductive agents (usually exceeding 10%) to maintain conductivity, significantly reducing electrode energy density; furthermore, the existing binder system is mismatched with the mechanical properties of rigid solid electrolytes, failing to buffer interfacial stress and accelerating interfacial delamination. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel integrated binder material that can dynamically adapt to volume changes and integrate electronic conductivity to solve the structural stability and conductivity challenges of silicon-based anodes in solid-state battery applications.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies urgently need improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0018] This application also provides a solid-state battery, including the negative electrode sheet or the negative electrode sheet prepared by the preparation method.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application include: This application provides a multifunctional conductive binder comprising lithium polyacrylate, aqueous polyurethane, and polypyrrole, designed to provide excellent adhesion and conductivity. By synergistically compounding lithium polyacrylate, aqueous polyurethane, and polypyrrole, the significant volume expansion of the silicon anode during charge and discharge can be effectively addressed. Lithium polyacrylate provides stable adhesion and ion transport capabilities, while the aqueous polyurethane imparts excellent flexibility and elasticity to the binder, thereby buffering mechanical stress and preventing pulverization of the active material and interface damage. Simultaneously, polypyrrole constructs a highly efficient electronic conductive network, ensuring the stability of electron transport within the electrode. Thus, this binder maintains the integrity of the electrode structure, safeguards the transport channels for lithium ions and electrons, thereby improving the cycle stability and coulombic efficiency of the silicon anode and overcoming the limitations of existing binders in solid-state battery applications.

[0030] Traditional silicon anodes face significant volume expansion during charge and discharge, leading to problems such as active material pulverization, electrical contact failure, interface damage, and rapid capacity decay. To address these challenges, existing binder systems suffer from fundamental defects such as weak molecular chain forces, insufficient modulus, low conductivity, and mismatch with the mechanical properties of solid electrolytes, making it difficult to effectively maintain electrode structural integrity and provide a stable electronic pathway.

[0051] Understandably, the core challenge faced by traditional silicon anodes in solid-state battery applications stems from their volume expansion exceeding 300% during charge and discharge. This leads to the pulverization and cracking of active silicon particles, disruption of the solid-solid interface contact between the electrode and the solid electrolyte, interruption of lithium-ion transport channels, and repeated proliferation and collapse of the solid electrolyte interface, ultimately resulting in rapid capacity decay and low coulombic efficiency. Existing technologies rely on the physical mixing mode of traditional polymer binders and conductive agents, which suffers from defects such as weak molecular chain forces, insufficient modulus, easy breakage of electronic pathways, and mismatch with the mechanical properties of the solid electrolyte, making it difficult to effectively maintain the integrity of the electrode structure and stable conductivity. This application provides a solid-state battery, including the aforementioned anode sheet or the anode sheet prepared by the aforementioned method. The core innovation of this embodiment lies in integrating a multifunctional conductive binder into the anode structure. This binder is a synergistic system composed of lithium polyacrylate, aqueous polyurethane, and polypyrrole in a specific mass ratio, thereby simultaneously achieving the triple functions of mechanical buffering, interface stabilization, and electronic conduction during the dynamic volume change of the silicon anode. This effectively suppresses the pulverization of active materials and interface peeling, significantly improving the cycle stability and energy density of the solid-state battery.
[0052] The implementation schemes of this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the following embodiments are only for illustrating this application and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of this application.

[0053] Example 1 This embodiment provides a multifunctional conductive adhesive: Its raw materials include lithium polyacrylate, waterborne polyurethane, polypyrrole, and ZnSO4·7H2O crosslinking agent; wherein the mass ratio of lithium polyacrylate to waterborne polyurethane is 7:3, and the amount of ZnSO4·7H2O crosslinking agent is 10% of the mass of lithium polyacrylate.
[0054] This embodiment also provides a negative electrode sheet, the specific steps of which are as follows: Preparation of lithium-ionized polyacrylic acid (PAA-Li) solution: Accurately weigh 0.21 g of PAA powder, dissolve it in an appropriate amount of deionized water, and stir magnetically until completely dissolved.

[0061] This embodiment also provides a negative electrode sheet, the specific steps of which are as follows: Preparation of lithium-ionized polyacrylic acid (PAA-Li) solution: Accurately weigh 0.15 g of PAA powder, dissolve it in an appropriate amount of deionized water, and stir magnetically until completely dissolved.

Continue stirring for 2 hours to obtain a clear PAA-Li solution.
[0062] Construction of the hybrid binder network: Add 0.15 g of WPU to the PAA-Li solution and stir vigorously (700 rpm) for 2 hours to ensure thorough mixing. Then add ZnSO4·7H2O crosslinking agent at 10% of the mass of PAA solids and continue stirring (500 rpm) for 1 hour for pre-crosslinking.

[0074] Comparative Example 1 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the ratio of PAA-Li to WPU is 10:0.
[0075] Comparative Example 2 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the ratio of PAA-Li to WPU is 0:10.
[0076] Comparative Example 3 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the ratio of CMC to SBR in the adhesive system is 1:1, and the adhesive and conductive agent are physically mixed.
[0077] Comparative Example 4 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the adhesive system uses only PAA-Li, and the adhesive and conductive agent are physically mixed.
[0078] Comparative Example 5 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the adhesive system uses only WPU, and the adhesive and conductive agent are physically mixed.
[0079] The test results of mechanical strength and electronic conductivity of the electrodes of each embodiment and comparative example are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Mechanical strength and electronic conductivity tests of the electrodes
[0080] The electrochemical performance of the negative electrode is shown in Table 2: Table 2 Electrochemical performance of the negative electrode sheet
[0081] From Tables 1 and 2, we can see that: Mechanical strength: Examples 1 and 2 exhibited the highest peel strength, demonstrating the dominant role of the rigid skeleton (PAA-Li) and ionic crosslinking in enhancing adhesion, and the addition of the flexible component (WPU) did not significantly weaken its strength.
[0082] Electronic conductivity: The conductivity of all integrated in-situ polymerized groups far exceeded that of all physically mixed groups, demonstrating the superiority of in-situ generation of PPy nano-conductive networks.
[0083] First-week coulombic efficiency (ICE): Example 2 exhibited the highest first-week efficiency, demonstrating that its integrated network most effectively suppresses silicon particle breakage and side reactions during the formation stage, reducing irreversible consumption of active lithium. Comparative Example 5 (physically mixed PPy) had the most severe side reactions and the lowest ICE due to interfacial instability.
[0084] Example 2 demonstrates a significantly higher capacity retention rate, highlighting the substantial advantage of the "rigid-flexible" structure in maintaining electrode integrity under long-term, large-volume strain. The purely rigid (Comparative Examples 1 and 4) or purely flexible (Comparative Examples 2 and 5) systems exhibited poor cycling performance.
[0085] All embodiments exhibit significantly superior rate performance compared to the comparative example. This is directly attributable to their superior intrinsic electronic conductivity, ensuring rapid charge transport at high rates with minimal polarization. The comparative example relies on a physically mixed, easily failing conductive network, resulting in poor rate performance.
[0086] A lower Rct value indicates a healthier electrode interface and easier charge transfer. Example 2 showed the lowest Rct value and the slowest increase, demonstrating that its interface remained stable after long-term cycling. The comparative examples (especially Comparative Example 5) exhibited large and rapidly increasing Rct values, indicating continuous interface deterioration and deactivation of the active material, which is the fundamental reason for the sharp capacity decay.
[0087] In summary, the PPy / PAA-Li / WPU integrated conductive binder described in this invention (especially Example 2) significantly outperforms traditional physically mixed binder systems in terms of first-efficiency performance, cycle life, rate performance, and interface stability. Its "mechanical-electronic" synergistic network, constructed through chemical fusion, is an effective strategy for addressing the core bottlenecks of silicon-based anodes and propelling them towards practical applications.
