Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of energy storage batteries, in particular to a lithium metal negative electrode, a solid-state lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous upgrading of the demand for battery energy density, cycle life and safety of electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage and portable electronic devices, traditional lithium-ion batteries based on graphite negative electrodes (theoretical specific capacity of only 372 mAh / g) and liquid electrolytes have gradually approached the performance ceiling. Under this background, lithium metal negative electrode, with its extremely high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh / g) and the lowest redox potential (-3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), has become a core candidate material to break through the technical bottleneck of high-energy-density batteries. Sulfide solid-state electrolyte, with high room-temperature ionic conductivity (some systems can reach 10-3-10-2 S / cm, close to the level of liquid electrolyte), excellent mechanical toughness (flexible films can be made by cold pressing), and good compatibility with electrode materials, is considered as a key direction to solve the safety problems of liquid electrolyte leakage and combustion. The combination of the two has become the core of research in the field of solid-state lithium metal batteries.

[0003] However, in practical applications, the poor interface matching and insufficient cycle stability of lithium metal negative electrode and sulfide solid-state electrolyte seriously restrict the industrialization process of the system. The natural oxide layer (mainly composed of Li2O, LiOH, Li2CO3) exists on the surface of lithium metal, and its own is a dense metal structure. When it is combined with sulfide solid-state electrolyte (mostly particle agglomerates), micron-sized voids are easily formed at the interface, resulting in a significant increase in interface impedance and seriously hindering ion transport. More importantly, the high reducibility of lithium metal will react with sulfide electrolyte (such as Li2S-P2S5, Li7P3S 11The reaction not only consumes active lithium and electrolyte, but also forms a brittle reaction layer at the interface, further exacerbating the poor interface contact. At the same time, the gas produced during the reaction will cause the interface to peel off, causing the battery internal resistance to continue to rise. Secondly, lithium metal will undergo significant volume changes during charging and discharging cycles. Theoretically, for every 1 μm thickness of lithium metal deposited, the volume expansion rate can be more than 100%. In actual cycles, due to the uneven deposition of lithium, the local expansion rate can even exceed 300%. This severe volume expansion will cause the lithium metal foil to wrinkle and crack, damaging the bonding interface with the protective layer, extruding the sulfide electrolyte layer, causing the electrolyte particles to break, causing the conductive path of the electrolyte layer to break, causing the protective layer formed at the interface to fall off and lose its protective effect, forming a vicious cycle of "expansion-damage-acceleration of side reactions", and ultimately leading to complete failure of the electrode structure. The microscopic protrusions, defects or interface gaps on the surface of the lithium metal will cause uneven current distribution, and high local current density will accelerate the reduction and deposition of lithium ions in this area, forming lithium dendrites. The growth of lithium dendrites not only pierces the sulfide electrolyte layer and causes internal short circuits in the battery, but also causes a large amount of lithium metal to be converted into "dead lithium", causing the battery capacity to rapidly decay. In addition, the growth of lithium dendrites will extrude the interface, further deteriorating the interface contact and SEI film stability, forming a complex situation with multiple problems superimposed.

[0004] The solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film is the key to ensuring the stable cycling of the lithium metal anode, but in the sulfide solid-state electrolyte system, the formation and stability of the SEI film face double challenges. On the one hand, the side reaction products of lithium metal and sulfide electrolyte will randomly dope into the SEI film, resulting in uneven composition of the SEI film, poor mechanical properties, and easy breakage of the SEI film during lithium metal volume change. On the other hand, the traditional SEI film has low ionic conductivity in the sulfide system, which cannot meet the demand for efficient ion transport. The breakage of the SEI film and the low ionic conductivity will cause the newly exposed lithium metal surface to continue to react with the electrolyte, consume active substances, and further increase the ion transport impedance at the interface, resulting in a significant decrease in battery performance.
