Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid-state battery technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a solid-state battery with a doped silicon-based anode. Background Technology
[0002] High-energy-density solid-state batteries are a core technology for overcoming "range anxiety" in new energy vehicles, and silicon-based anodes, with their ultra-high theoretical specific capacity of 3500-4200 mAh / g, are key to improving battery energy density. However, the interface problem between silicon-based anodes and solid electrolytes restricts their application: firstly, silicon has high surface chemical activity, easily reacting with sulfur in sulfide electrolytes. 2- The reaction generates a low-conductivity Li-Si-S phase, leading to a sharp increase in interfacial impedance; secondly, the interfacial adhesion between silicon and electrolyte is poor, and interfacial peeling occurs due to volume expansion during charging and discharging; thirdly, silicon has low intrinsic conductivity, and relying solely on external conductive agents cannot achieve the coordinated transport of electrons and ions.
[0003] Existing silicon-based anode and solid-state electrolyte matching technologies have significant optimization blind spots: While the Si-Ge binary alloy anode disclosed in patent CN116015243A increases the electronic conductivity to 5×10⁻⁶, it still faces significant limitations. -3 S / cm, but because NB doping was not introduced to regulate the surface chemical state, the Si-Si bonds on the silicon surface easily react with S after contact with Li3PS4 electrolyte. 2- The reaction produces a Li-Si-S insulating phase up to 40 nm thick, resulting in an interfacial impedance as high as 150 Ω·cm. 2 The capacity retention rate after 50 cycles is only 78%; patent CN115863729A uses a single boron-doped silicon anode but does not specifically design the electrolyte formulation, so the interfacial anchoring effect of boron cannot be released, the interfacial adhesion strength is only 5MPa, and interfacial peeling is prone to occur during charge-discharge cycles; the Li3PS4-Li3BO3 electrolyte disclosed in patent CN114979651A, due to the lack of doping modification of silicon-based anodes, has a low BO3 content in Li3BO3. 3- Lacking reaction targets, the electrolyte-electrode interface contact angle reaches 65°, resulting in extremely poor compatibility and a capacity retention rate of only 72% after 100 cycles. It is evident that existing technologies have failed to achieve synergistic design between "silicon-based anode doping" and "solid-state electrolyte formulation," and cannot simultaneously address the three core issues of poor interfacial reactivity, low adhesion, and low conductivity through doping elements. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new approach to improve upon these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the prior art, and its main objective is to provide a method for preparing a solid-state battery with a doped silicon-based anode, which can effectively solve the problems of poor interfacial reactivity, low adhesion and low conductivity that existing silicon anode solid-state batteries doped with other elements cannot simultaneously solve.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A method for fabricating a solid-state battery with a doped silicon-based anode includes the following steps:

The ball-to-material ratio was 15:1, the ball milling speed was 400r / min, and the ball milling time was 6h to obtain silicon powder. The silicon powder was added to hydrofluoric acid solution and stirred and etched at room temperature for 2-5h. Then, it was washed with deionized water until pH=7, and then transferred to a vacuum drying oven and vacuum dried at 80℃ for 8-10h to obtain porous nano-silicon cores.
[0008] (2) Preparation of alloy powder: The porous nano-silicon cores obtained in step (1) are mixed evenly with Ge powder and BN powder, and then placed in a vacuum induction furnace. The mass ratio of porous nano-silicon cores to Ge powder and BN powder is (82-91):(7-13):(1.5-5.5). The furnace is evacuated to a vacuum of 3×10⁻⁶. -4 Pa, inert gas is introduced, and the temperature is raised to 1500-2000℃ at a heating rate of 10℃ / min, held for 2-5h, and cooled to obtain a mixture. The mixture is then placed in a high-energy ball mill for ball milling with a ball-to-material ratio of 20:1, a ball milling speed of 350r / min, and a ball milling time of 5h to obtain alloy powder.
[0009] (3) Preparation of solid electrolyte: Li3PS4, Li2O, Li3BO3 and LiI were placed in a high-energy ball mill and ball milled. The mass ratio of Li3PS4, Li2O, Li3BO3 and LiI was (65-80):(5-15):(8-18):(2-7), the ball-to-material ratio was 20:1, the ball milling speed was 350 r / min, and the ball milling time was 12 h to obtain a mixed powder. The mixed powder was placed in a mold and hot-pressed using a hot press. The hot pressing temperature was 220℃, the hot pressing pressure was 2 MPa, and the hot pressing annealing time was 1-4 h to obtain a solid electrolyte.
[0010] (4) Preparation of solid-state battery: The alloy powder obtained in step (2) is mixed with a binder, with 8-9.5g of alloy powder and 0.5-2g of binder. 15mL of N-methylpyrrolidone is added and stirred to form a slurry. The slurry is coated onto copper foil and placed in a vacuum drying oven. It is then vacuum dried at 120℃ for 12-15h. The negative electrode is obtained by rolling. The negative electrode, solid electrolyte layer, and LiNi are then combined. 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O2 positive electrode sheets are stacked sequentially and placed in a hot pressing mold. The temperature is increased to 210°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min, the hot pressing stress is 30MPa, and the hot pressing time is 0.5-1h. After cooling in the furnace, the cells are encapsulated in an aluminum-plastic film to obtain a solid-state battery.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the purity of the industrial silicon powder is greater than 99.5%, and the purity of the Ge powder is 99.9%.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, in step (1), the concentration of the hydrofluoric acid is 4 mol / L.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, in step (1), the porous nano-silicon core has a particle size of 20-35 nm and a porosity of 42%.
[0014] As a preferred option, in step (2), the inert gas is argon.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment, in step (2), the enrichment of element B on the surface of the alloy powder is 2.5 times that inside the alloy powder.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment, in step (3), the Li3PS4 is prepared by a mechanochemical method and the Li3BO3 is prepared by a sol-gel method.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the Li3BO3 is prepared by hydrolysis, condensation and calcination of boric acid and lithium hydroxide as raw materials, and the particle size of Li3BO3 is 20nm.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:
[0019] The negative electrode in this invention application has a Si-Ge-NB quaternary alloy gradient structure, and the surface enrichment of boron is 2-3 times that inside the alloy powder. Nitrogen forms high-energy Si-N bonds, which bind Si and S. 2-The reaction rate is reduced by more than 90%, making it less likely to form a Li-Si-S insulating phase and reducing interfacial impedance. Furthermore, the solid electrolyte structure adopts a Li3PS4-Li2O-Li3BO3-LiI synergistic system, where Li3BO3 forms a BOB bond layer with the B of the negative electrode, significantly improving the bonding strength. The BOB bond layer effectively prevents the generation of microcracks. Additionally, Ge alloying is used to improve conductivity, achieving simultaneous optimization of interface and conductivity performance.

[0071] Performance tests were conducted on the above embodiments and comparative examples, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0072] Table 1
[0073] Analysis of the above data sets shows that Examples 1-6 all exhibit high conductivity and low interfacial impedance, maintaining a good capacity retention rate and high bonding strength. Comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 1 uses only porous nano-silicon as the negative electrode material, combined with a single Li3PS4, lacking an alloy gradient structure and thus failing to form a structure that reduces the Si and S content. 2- The reaction rate was too high, resulting in the formation of a Li-Si-S insulating phase, leading to extremely high interfacial impedance and very low capacity retention. Comparing Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 2 used the same composite solid electrolyte as Example 1, significantly improving interfacial bonding strength and preventing surface cracking of the electrolyte, thus increasing capacity retention. Simultaneously, the addition of Ge powder to the negative electrode greatly improved conductivity. Although still far from that of Example 1 in terms of conductivity, it was more than ten times higher than that of Comparative Example 1. Furthermore, comparing Example 1 and Example 3, Example 3 used the same negative electrode as the examples. The electrode was prepared to achieve the same conductivity as in Example 1, but its composite electrolyte lacked Li3BO3, and the B in the negative electrode could not form a BOB bond layer with Li3BO3. Although the composite electrolyte had good interfacial bonding strength and low interfacial resistance, its interfacial bonding strength was relatively weak, making it difficult to prevent the generation of microcracks and not significantly improving the capacity retention rate. In addition, its interfacial resistance was also relatively high, further reducing the cycle performance. Ultimately, the capacity retention rate of Comparative Example 3 was only 80% of that of Example 1. It can be seen that the solid-state battery prepared by the preparation method of this invention has excellent performance and has achieved significant progress.
