Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to solid-state battery cells and their preparation methods, battery devices, power-consuming devices, and energy storage devices. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the electric vehicle and energy storage markets, the requirements for battery energy density, safety, and cycle life are constantly increasing. Solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes to replace traditional liquid electrolytes, fundamentally solving the safety hazards of liquid batteries. However, the rate performance and cycle life of traditional solid-state batteries still need further improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Based on this, this application provides a solid-state battery cell that can effectively improve rate performance and cycle life, as well as its preparation method, battery device, power consumption device, and energy storage device.
[0004] The technical solution to the above-mentioned technical problems in this application is as follows.
[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a method for preparing a solid-state battery cell, comprising the following steps:
[0006] Modified metal-organic framework materials are obtained by removing impurities from metal-organic framework materials.
[0007] The sulfide electrolyte precursor and the modified metal-organic framework material are mixed and then subjected to ball milling and heat treatment in sequence to obtain a composite solid electrolyte; the ball milling speed is 100 rpm to 200 rpm and the heat treatment temperature is 260℃ to 280℃.
[0008] The composite solid electrolyte is subjected to a first pressing process to obtain a composite solid electrolyte membrane.
[0009] A positive electrode, the composite solid electrolyte membrane, and a negative electrode are stacked together, with the composite solid electrolyte membrane disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. After a second pressing process, a solid-state battery is obtained.
[0010] The above-mentioned method for preparing solid-state battery cells involves first removing impurities from the metal-organic framework (MOF) material, such as residual solvents and coordination water, within the MOF channels. Then, a sulfide electrolyte precursor and a modified MOF material are mixed and ball-milled to promote the complete entry of the sulfide electrolyte precursor into the pores of the modified MOF material. Following heat treatment, the sulfide electrolyte precursor generates sulfide electrolyte in situ within the pores of the modified MOF material, forming a good interfacial contact between the sulfide electrolyte and the modified MOF material, effectively reducing interfacial impedance. Simultaneously, the modified MOF material possesses nanopores, which, through spatial confinement effects, control the nucleation and growth of the sulfide electrolyte, achieving uniform dispersion of the sulfide electrolyte at the nanoscale. By controlling the ball milling speed and heat treatment temperature, the integrity of the modified MOF material's framework is effectively preserved, allowing it to serve as a three-dimensional reinforcing phase for the sulfide electrolyte. These multi-faceted interactions effectively improve the ionic conductivity and mechanical properties of the composite solid-state electrolyte. The composite solid electrolyte is processed into a composite solid electrolyte membrane through a first pressing process, and then processed with the positive and negative electrodes through a second pressing process to obtain a solid battery, which can effectively improve the rate performance and cycle life of the solid battery cell.

Specifically, the mass or weight mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be units known in the chemical industry, such as μg, mg, g, and kg.
[0028] Studies have found that controlling the particle size and dispersibility of sulfide solid electrolytes is difficult. During preparation and post-processing, they are prone to agglomeration, forming micron-sized or even larger aggregates. This not only reduces the specific surface area and affects contact with the electrode, but also creates stress concentration points in the composite material, leading to a decline in mechanical properties. Polymer composites can solve the agglomeration problem between sulfide solid electrolytes to some extent, but there are significant chemical and physical incompatibilities between sulfide solid electrolytes and polymers: sulfides are inorganic ionic conductors, while polymers are organic materials. The significant difference in their surface properties leads to the formation of a high-resistivity layer at the interface, which not only increases the internal resistance of the battery but also causes uneven current distribution at the interface, accelerating interface degradation. Furthermore, the ionic conductivity of polymers is much lower than that of sulfides, requiring a high sulfide loading (>60wt%) to form an effective conductive network. However, a high loading can cause the composite material to become brittle, creating a vicious cycle.
[0029] The study also found that mixing sulfide electrolyte products with metal-organic framework materials can lead to problems such as severe sulfide particle agglomeration, uneven particle size distribution, high interfacial resistance with the polymer matrix, high mechanical brittleness of pure sulfide electrolytes, and difficulty in processing and molding.
[0030] See Figure 1 This application provides a method for preparing a solid-state battery cell, comprising the following steps:
[0031] Step S100: Remove impurities from the metal-organic framework material to obtain the modified metal-organic framework material;
[0032] Step S200: The sulfide electrolyte precursor and the modified metal-organic framework material are mixed and then subjected to ball milling and heat treatment in sequence to obtain a composite solid electrolyte; the ball milling speed is 100 rpm to 200 rpm and the heat treatment temperature is 260℃ to 280℃.
[0033] First, the metal-organic framework (MOF) material is purified to remove residual solvents and coordination water from the pores. Then, a sulfide electrolyte precursor is mixed with the modified MOF and ball-milled to promote the full penetration of the sulfide electrolyte precursor into the pores. Heat treatment at a specific temperature allows the sulfide electrolyte precursor to generate sulfide electrolytes in situ within the pores. The sulfide electrolytes are dispersed in nanocrystals or near-amorphous forms within the MOF pores and on the pore wall surface. The metal clusters and organic ligands in the MOF framework form chemical bonds or strong interactions with the in-situ generated sulfides, enabling the sulfide electrolytes to... The modified metal-organic framework (MOF) forms a tight atomic / molecular contact with the metal-organic framework, eliminating macroscopic phase interfaces and constructing an integrated composite structure without macroscopic interfaces, significantly reducing interfacial impedance. Utilizing the regular nanopores of MOF as a "nanoreactor," the nucleation and growth of sulfide electrolytes are controlled through spatial confinement effects, achieving uniform dispersion and controllable growth of sulfide electrolytes at the nanoscale, effectively suppressing particle aggregation. By controlling the ball milling speed and heat treatment temperature, the integrity of the modified metal-organic framework is effectively preserved, serving as a three-dimensional reinforcing phase for the sulfide electrolyte. Through multiple interactions, the ionic conductivity, mechanical properties, and processing performance of the composite solid electrolyte can be effectively improved.
[0034] The bifunctional MOF framework serves both as a reaction vessel to control sulfide growth and as a three-dimensional reinforcing phase for the final composite solid electrolyte, improving the mechanical strength of the composite solid electrolyte. Meanwhile, the organic ligands endow the composite solid electrolyte with a certain degree of flexibility. The pore walls of the MOF can also provide additional transport paths for lithium ions, forming a synergistic effect with the bulk conduction of sulfides.
[0035] In some examples, in step S100, the pore size of the modified metal-organic framework material is 1.2 nm to 3 nm. It is understood that the pore size of the modified metal-organic framework material includes, but is not limited to, 1.2 nm, 1.3 nm, 1.4 nm, 1.5 nm, 1.6 nm, 1.7 nm, 1.8 nm, 1.9 nm, 2 nm, 2.1 nm, 2.2 nm, 2.3 nm, 2.4 nm, 2.5 nm, 2.6 nm, 2.7 nm, 2.8 nm, 2.9 nm, and 3 nm.
[0036] In some examples, in step S100, the metal-organic framework material includes a zirconium-based metal-organic framework material. Optionally, the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material includes at least one of MOF-808, NU-1000, and UiO-66. Accordingly, the modified metal-organic framework material includes a modified zirconium-based metal-organic framework material.
[0037] Understandably, in some of these examples, the crystallinity of the modified metal-organic framework material is >90%; it needs to be processed and stored in an anhydrous and oxygen-free environment, such as by transferring it to an argon glove box (H2O <1ppm, O2 <1ppm).
[0038] It is understandable that by controlling the heat treatment temperature, it is possible to ensure that the sulfide electrolyte precursor reacts fully to form the sulfide electrolyte, while also maintaining the structural integrity of the MOF framework and preventing particle coarsening. Furthermore, it is understood that excessively high heat treatment temperatures will damage the structural integrity of the MOF framework and also lead to particle coarsening. It is also understood that the heat treatment temperature includes, but is not limited to, 260℃, 261℃, 262℃, 263℃, 264℃, 265℃, 266℃, 267℃, 268℃, 269℃, 270℃, 271℃, 272℃, 273℃, 274℃, 275℃, 276℃, 277℃, 278℃, 279℃, and 280℃; in some examples, any two of these values can be used as endpoints within a range, and the same applies below. Optionally, the heat treatment temperature is 265℃~275℃.
[0039] In some examples, the heat treatment time in step S200 is 2 h to 4 h. It is understood that the heat treatment time includes, but is not limited to, 2 h, 2.1 h, 2.2 h, 2.3 h, 2.4 h, 2.5 h, 2.6 h, 2.7 h, 2.8 h, 2.9 h, 3 h, 3.1 h, 3.2 h, 3.3 h, 3.4 h, 3.5 h, 3.6 h, 3.7 h, 3.8 h, 3.9 h, and 4 h. Optionally, the heat treatment time is 2.5 h to 3.5 h.
[0040] In some of these examples, in step S200, the heat treatment is performed under an inert atmosphere. Optionally, the inert atmosphere includes, but is not limited to, at least one of argon and nitrogen.
[0041] In some examples, in step S200, the heating rate to the heat treatment temperature is 1.5℃ / min to 3℃ / min. This can be understood as heating from room temperature to the heat treatment temperature; further, the heating rate to the heat treatment temperature includes, but is not limited to, 1.5℃ / min, 1.6℃ / min, 1.7℃ / min, 1.8℃ / min, 1.9℃ / min, 2℃ / min, 2.1℃ / min, 2.2℃ / min, 2.3℃ / min, 2.4℃ / min, 2.5℃ / min, 2.6℃ / min, 2.7℃ / min, 2.8℃ / min, 2.9℃ / min, and 3℃ / min. By controlling the heating rate, local overheating can be avoided, the grain growth rate can be controlled, and the uniform dispersion and controllable growth of the sulfide electrolyte can be further promoted, thereby improving the ionic conductivity, mechanical properties, and processing performance of the composite solid electrolyte.
[0042] It is understandable that controlling the ball milling speed can effectively reduce the impact on the integrity of the modified metal-organic framework (MOF). Furthermore, it is understood that higher ball milling speeds can lead to the breakage of MOF coordination bonds, the collapse of the three-dimensional ordered pore structure, and a significant decrease in specific surface area and pore volume. Pore collapse renders the originally orderly confined space disordered, depriving sulfide nucleation and growth of nanoscale spatial constraints, resulting in a wider particle size distribution. Damage to the MOF framework also weakens its mechanical support role as a three-dimensional reinforcing phase, reducing the overall mechanical properties of the composite electrolyte. It is also understood that ball milling speeds include, but are not limited to, 100 rpm, 110 rpm, 120 rpm, 130 rpm, 140 rpm, 150 rpm, 160 rpm, 170 rpm, 180 rpm, 190 rpm, and 200 rpm.
[0043] In some examples, the ball milling process in step S200 takes 1 to 2 hours. It is understood that the ball milling time includes, but is not limited to, 1 hour, 1.1 hours, 1.2 hours, 1.3 hours, 1.4 hours, 1.5 hours, 1.6 hours, 1.7 hours, 1.8 hours, 1.9 hours, and 2 hours.
[0044] In some examples, in step S200, the mixing is carried out under an inert atmosphere. Optionally, the inert atmosphere includes, but is not limited to, at least one of argon and nitrogen.
[0045] It is understood that in some of these examples, the impurity removal process in step S200 includes removing solvent from the pores of the metal-organic framework material, and further, the solvent includes at least one of an organic solvent and water.
[0046] In some of these examples, step S200 includes vacuum purification of the metal-organic framework material at 120°C to 200°C under vacuum conditions.
[0047] Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are activated under specific conditions to remove guest molecules (residual solvents and coordination water) from the pores, resulting in a significant recovery of the MOF's specific surface area. It is understood that vacuum purification temperatures include, but are not limited to, 120℃, 130℃, 140℃, 150℃, 160℃, 170℃, 180℃, 190℃, and 200℃.
[0048] In some examples, in step S200, the mass ratio of the sulfide electrolyte precursor to the modified metal-organic framework material is 1.5 to 3:1. It is understood that the mass ratio of the sulfide electrolyte precursor to the modified metal-organic framework material includes, but is not limited to, 1.5:1, 1.6:1, 1.7:1, 1.8:1, 1.9:1, 2:1, 2.1:1, 2.2:1, 2.3:1, 2.4:1, 2.5:1, 2.6:1, 2.7:1, 2.8:1, 2.9:1, and 3:1.
[0049] By controlling the mass ratio of sulfide electrolyte precursor to modified metal-organic framework material, both the high sulfide content provides high ionic conductivity, and the sufficient MOF framework provides structural support and long-term stability.
[0050] In some examples, in step S200, the sulfide electrolyte precursor includes lithium sulfide and phosphorus pentasulfide. It can be understood that using lithium sulfide (Li2S) and phosphorus pentasulfide (P2S5) as the sulfide electrolyte precursor generates Li3PS4 and Li4P2S7 mesophases, which, after rearrangement and interconversion, ultimately form Li7P3S. 11 Sulfide electrolytes have high ionic conductivity, reaching 10 at room temperature. -2 The reaction rate was at the S / cm level. A solid-state reaction of Li₂S and P₂S₅ to produce Li₇P₃S was achieved at a relatively low temperature of 260℃~280℃. 11 It can effectively avoid particle growth and MOF framework decomposition caused by high-temperature sintering, has good mechanical ductility, low grain boundary impedance, and good electrochemical stability.
[0051] Optionally, the molar ratio of lithium sulfide to phosphorus pentasulfide is 2.2~2.6:1. It is understood that the molar ratio of lithium sulfide to phosphorus pentasulfide includes, but is not limited to, 2.2:1, 2.3:1, 2.4:1, 2.5:1, and 2.6:1. Optionally, the molar ratio of lithium sulfide to phosphorus pentasulfide is 2.3~2.5:1. Further, the molar ratio of lithium sulfide to phosphorus pentasulfide is 2.3~2.4:1. By controlling the molar ratio of lithium sulfide to phosphorus pentasulfide, it is beneficial to form Li7P3S. 11 The target phase is suppressed to prevent the presence of low-conductivity phases such as Li3PS4 or Li4P2S7; if necessary, a slight enrichment of lithium can be applied to stabilize the high-conductivity phase.
[0052] Optionally, the purity of lithium sulfide and phosphorus pentasulfide shall be ≥99% independently, the moisture content shall be ≤50 ppm, and the particle size D50 (median volume diameter) shall be 10 μm to 50 μm. Li2S is hygroscopic, and P2S5 is easily hydrolyzed to generate H2S and phosphoric acid; vacuum drying shall be performed before use to ensure that the moisture content is <50 ppm.
[0053] In some examples, in step S200, during the mixing process, lithium sulfide and phosphorus pentasulfide are first mixed to obtain a mixed precursor; then the mixed precursor is mixed with a modified metal-organic framework material.
[0054] Optionally, lithium sulfide and phosphorus pentasulfide are stirred and mixed at a speed of 100 rpm to 300 rpm for 1 h to 3 h.
[0055] In some of these examples, no solvent is added during step S200, during mixing. It can be understood that a solid-phase reaction is achieved during heat treatment.
[0056] In other examples, solvent-assisted infiltration (SALI) can be used: a sulfide electrolyte precursor and a solvent are mixed to form a suspension, a modified metal-organic framework material is added and stirred; then the solvent is removed.
[0057] It is understood that the solvent serves only for physical transport and wetting, and does not chemically react with the precursor. Optionally, the solvent includes at least one of fluoroethers (such as HFE-7100) and perfluorocarbon solvents. Optionally, the volume ratio of the solvent to the mass of the modified metal-organic framework material is 1 mL / g to 2 mL / g.
[0058] In some of these examples, step S200, during mixing, also includes the addition of lithium halide.
[0059] The addition of lithium halides during heat treatment can act as a grain boundary conductor, defect passivator, and densification promoter, reducing interfacial impedance and increasing densification. During densification pressing, it can promote plastic deformation and interfacial contact between particles, thereby increasing the relative density, ionic conductivity, and grain boundary transport of the composite solid electrolyte.
[0060] Optionally, the lithium halide includes at least one of lithium iodide (LiI) and lithium bromide (LiBr). Optionally, the mass of lithium halide is 0.5 wt% to 2 wt% of the total mass of the sulfide electrolyte precursor. It is understood that the percentage of lithium halide mass to the total mass of the sulfide electrolyte precursor includes, but is not limited to, 0.5 wt%, 0.6 wt%, 0.7 wt%, 0.8 wt%, 0.9 wt%, 1 wt%, 1.1 wt%, 1.2 wt%, 1.3 wt%, 1.4 wt%, 1.5 wt%, 1.6 wt%, 1.7 wt%, 1.8 wt%, 1.9 wt%, and 2 wt%. Optionally, the mass of lithium halide is 1 wt% to 1.5 wt% of the total mass of the sulfide electrolyte precursor. By controlling the amount of lithium halide added, interfacial side reactions are controlled while improving the ionic conductivity of the composite solid electrolyte and improving grain boundary transport.
[0061] In some examples, step S200 involves heat treatment in a quartz tube or stainless steel reactor; optionally, the reactor contains an H2S absorbent; optionally, the H2S absorbent includes zinc oxide. In some examples, step S200 is carried out in an environment with a dew point ≤ -40°C or H2O / O2 ≤ 50ppm. This ensures process controllability and safety.
[0062] Step S300: The composite solid electrolyte is subjected to a first pressing process to obtain a composite solid electrolyte membrane.
[0063] In some of these examples, in step S300, the first pressing process is cold pressing.
[0064] Optionally, the cold pressing temperature is 4℃~30℃. Optionally, the cold pressing pressure is 300 MPa~500 MPa. Optionally, the cold pressing time is 2 min~5 min.
[0065] It can be understood that cold pressing refers to a molding process in which unidirectional or bidirectional pressure is applied to materials at room temperature, causing the material particles to undergo plastic deformation, compactly pack together, and form a green body with a certain shape. Furthermore, it can be understood that the cold pressing temperature includes, but is not limited to, 4℃, 5℃, 6℃, 7℃, 8℃, 9℃, 10℃, 11℃, 12℃, 13℃, 14℃, 15℃, 16℃, 17℃, 18℃, 19℃, 20℃, 21℃, 22℃, 23℃, 24℃, 25℃, 26℃, 27℃, 28℃, 29℃, and 30℃; the cold pressing pressure includes, but is not limited to, 300 MPa, 310 MPa, 320 MPa, 330 MPa, 340 MPa, 350 MPa, 360 MPa, 370 MPa, 380 MPa, 390 MPa, 400 MPa, 410 MPa, 420 MPa, 430 MPa, 440 MPa, 450 MPa, 460 MPa, 470 MPa, 480 MPa, 490 MPa, and 500 MPa; and the cold pressing time includes, but is not limited to, 2... min, 3 min, 4 min, 5 min.
[0066] In some examples, after the first pressing process, step S300 further includes: subjecting the billet obtained from the first pressing process to a third pressing process; the third pressing process is selected from warm pressing or cold isostatic pressing (CIP).
[0067] It can be understood that thermostatic pressing refers to a process of applying pressure to a material within a range above room temperature but below its melting point / phase transition temperature to achieve molding. Its core principle is to utilize temperature to increase the material's plasticity and reduce the pressure required for molding. Cold isostatic pressing, on the other hand, refers to a process of applying uniform static pressure to a material at room temperature using a high-pressure medium (such as hydraulic oil, water, or glycerin) to achieve material densification. It is a type of isostatic pressing (distinct from hot isostatic pressing).
[0068] The composite solid electrolyte is subjected to a first pressing process, and then the preform obtained from the first pressing process is subjected to a third pressing process to ensure high-density molding while maintaining the integrity of the MOF skeleton.
[0069] Optionally, the temperature for thermo-pressure testing is 70℃~120℃. Optionally, the pressure for thermo-pressure testing is 100 MPa~300 MPa. Optionally, the time for thermo-pressure testing is 10 min~20 min.

[0091] The following are some of the materials used in the various embodiments and comparative examples:

Phosphorus pentasulfide is a sublimated purified product with a purity of not less than 99.9%. Lithium iodide or lithium bromide is an anhydrous product with a purity of not less than 99%. Because the above-mentioned sulfide precursors and accelerators are extremely sensitive to moisture, they must be repackaged and sealed in a glove box after opening. Before use, they should be vacuum dried at 80℃ and 60℃ for 2 hours and 1 hour respectively to ensure a moisture content of less than 50 ppm.
[0094] Example 1
[0095] (1) Activation (purification) treatment of carrier (MOF): Place MOF powder (MOF-808) in a tube furnace and connect it to a vacuum system. Activation procedure: Evacuate to <10Pa at room temperature; heat to 120℃ at 2℃min and hold for 2 hours; continue to heat to 180℃ and hold for 8 hours; allow to cool naturally to room temperature under vacuum; purge with high-purity argon and quickly transfer to a glove box.
[0096] (2) Grind Li2S, P2S5 and LiI by hand in an agate mortar for 10 minutes to initially mix them; then transfer them to a planetary ball mill and use zirconia balls (ball-to-material ratio 3:1) to ball mill at 150 rpm for 1 hour to obtain a precursor mixed powder with D50 < 1 μm; the molar ratio of Li2S to P2S5 is 2.33:1, and the mass of LiI is 1.2 wt% of the total mass of the sulfide electrolyte precursors Li2S and P2S5.
[0097] (3) The MOF powder activated in step (1) and the precursor powder prepared in step (2) are mixed in a mass ratio of 30:70 and processed in a closed low-energy ball mill at 100 rpm for 30 minutes.
[0098] (4) Heat treatment: In a glove box, the MOF powder of the loaded precursor obtained in step (3) was loaded into a quartz tube reactor. 0.5g of zinc oxide powder (separated by porous ceramic sheets) was placed at the bottom of the tube as an H2S absorbent. Vacuuming / argon purging was performed ≥3 times, and finally sealed under 0.1MPa argon gas. The sealed reactor was placed in a programmable temperature controlled furnace, heated from 25℃ to 270℃ at a heating rate of 2℃ / min, and held for 3 hours. Cooling stage: Naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain a light yellow powder, namely MOF@Li7P3S 11 Composite solid electrolyte; Li7P3S can be observed by XRD. 11 Characteristic diffraction peaks were observed, and the signal intensity of the impurity phase was low; SEM showed that the MOF morphology was preserved.

The parameter changes involve: the type and model of the carrier in step (1), whether the impurity removal treatment in step (1) is performed, the molar ratio of Li2S to P2S5 in step (2) (shown as Li2S:P2S5 in Table 1), whether LiI is added in step (2) and the added mass is the percentage of the total mass of the sulfide electrolyte precursor Li2S and P2S5 (shown as LiI / wt%) in Table 1), the mass ratio of the carrier to the precursor mixed powder in step (3) (shown as carrier:sulfide in Table 1), the temperature of the heat treatment in step (4), and the pressing method (where Example 14 omits step (6) warm pressing densification).

[0103]
[0104] The solid electrolyte membranes of Examples 1-14 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were assembled into coin cells: NCM811 positive electrode (capacity 15 mg / cm³) was used. 2The solid electrolyte membrane and the lithium metal anode are stacked in layers from top to bottom; the assembly pressure is 10 MPa, and the assembled battery is dried at 80°C for 12 h to ensure that the internal moisture content is less than 50 ppm.
[0105] Example 15
[0106] The difference from Example 1 is that in step (2), the added mass of LiI is 1 wt% of the total mass of the sulfide electrolyte precursors Li2S and P2S5; and the prepared solid electrolyte membrane is physically spread on one side at a density of 0.1 mg / cm. 2 Amorphous Li3PS4 powder was then lightly pressed at 60°C, 5 MPa, and 5 minutes to form an interface layer; battery assembly: NCM811 cathode (capacity 15 mg / cm³). 2 Li3PS4 interface layer, MOF@Li7P3S 11 The electrolyte and lithium metal anode are stacked in layers from top to bottom; the assembly pressure is 10 MPa, and the assembled battery is dried at 80°C for 12 h to ensure that the internal moisture content is less than 50 ppm.
[0107] Example 16
[0108] The solid electrolyte membrane from Example 1 was assembled with an NCM811 positive electrode and a silicon-carbon composite negative electrode to form a coin cell: NCM811 positive electrode (capacity 15 mg / cm³). 2 MOF@Li7P3S 11 The electrolyte and Si / C negative electrode are stacked in layers from top to bottom; the assembly pressure is 10 MPa, and the assembled battery is dried at 80°C for 12 h to ensure that the internal moisture content is less than 50 ppm.

[0110] Li₂S and P₂S₅ were mixed at a molar ratio of 2.4:1 and ball-milled (400 rpm, 30 h) under an inert atmosphere to generate Li₇P₃S via a mechanochemical reaction. 11 Solid electrolyte; in a glove box, weigh out Li7P3S 11 Solid electrolyte membranes were prepared by applying pressure on a hydraulic press using a carbide mold; pressing parameters: pressurization rate 50 MPa / min, target pressure 400 MPa, holding pressure for 3 minutes, and depressurization rate 100 MPa / min.
[0111] Performance testing
[0112] Ionic conductivity: Room temperature ionic conductivity verifies the in-situ confined synthesis and integrated composite effect; high temperature ionic conductivity verifies high temperature stability and MOF structure tolerance; low temperature ionic conductivity verifies low temperature performance and ion channel continuity. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used for testing, with a stainless steel | composite electrolyte | stainless steel symmetric cell configuration (both working and counter electrodes are stainless steel sheets). The composite solid electrolyte membrane has a thickness of 100 μm and an effective contact area of 2.01 cm². 2 The clamp pressure was kept constant at 5 MPa; the frequency scanning range of the electrochemical workstation was 0.01 Hz to 1 MHz, and the AC amplitude was 10 mV; room temperature ionic conductivity tests were conducted at 25℃, while high-temperature and low-temperature ionic conductivity tests were conducted at 60℃ and 0℃, respectively. After each heating or cooling cycle, the samples were held at the same temperature for 30 min to ensure temperature equilibrium. Ionic conductivity was calculated using the formula σ = L / (R × S), where L is the thickness of the composite solid electrolyte membrane, R is the bulk impedance obtained from the high-frequency intercept of the Nyquist plot, and S is the effective contact area. At least three parallel samples were tested for each sample, and the average value was taken as the final result.
[0113] Relative density was used to verify the densification effect and MOF framework integrity. The test employed a geometric method: after equilibration in a glove box for 24 hours, the diameter or side length and thickness of the electrolyte sheet were measured using precision vernier calipers, and the mass was measured using a precision balance. The theoretical density was calculated using a weighted average of the components, with the formula ρ. 理论 =1 / [(mass fraction of MOF / density of MOF) + (mass fraction of sulfide / density of sulfide)]. Relative density = (measured geometric density / theoretical density) × 100%. At least 3 parallel samples should be measured for each sample.
[0114] The first-cycle coulombic efficiency was measured to verify interface quality and the extent of initial side reactions. The coin cells were subjected to their first charge-discharge cycle at 25°C and a 0.2C rate. The charging mode consisted of constant current charging to the upper limit voltage of 4.3 V, followed by constant voltage charging until the current dropped to the 0.05C cutoff. The discharging mode was constant current discharging to the lower limit voltage of 2.8 V. The first-cycle coulombic efficiency was calculated as (first discharge capacity / first charge capacity) × 100%. The assembly pressure was uniformly set at 10 MPa, and the cells were allowed to stand for 4 hours before formation.
[0115] Cyclic capacity retention was used to verify cycle stability and structural integrity. Tests were conducted at 25°C with a charge / discharge rate of 1C / 1C. The charging regime consisted of a 1C constant current charge to 4.3 V, followed by a constant voltage charge until the current dropped to the 0.05C cutoff. The discharging regime consisted of a 1C constant current discharge to the 2.8 V lower limit voltage. A stacking pressure of 10 MPa was maintained throughout the test to ensure stable contact between the electrodes and the electrolyte. A 0.2C capacity calibration was performed every 50 cycles, recording the discharge capacity at the 1st and 200th cycles. The capacity retention after 200 cycles was calculated as (200th cycle discharge capacity / 1st cycle discharge capacity) × 100%. For long-cycle validation, a 500-cycle test was performed under identical conditions to the 200-cycle test, with a 0.2C capacity calibration performed every 100 cycles.
[0116] Rate performance was assessed to verify kinetic performance and interface impedance. Tests were conducted at 25°C, with sequential charge-discharge cycles at 0.2C, 0.5C, 1C, and 3C rates, each cycle lasting 5 times. The average discharge capacity at each rate was recorded. Rate performance is expressed as the ratio of the 3C discharge capacity to the 0.2C discharge capacity. A stacking pressure of 10 MPa was maintained throughout the test. Three 1C / 1C cycles were performed prior to the rate test to ensure the battery reached a stable state.
[0117] High-temperature storage performance was tested to verify high-temperature stability and long-term interface stability; the test was used to evaluate the long-term stability of the composite electrolyte under high-temperature conditions. At 60°C, the battery was charged at a constant current rate of 1C to 4.3V, then charged at a constant voltage rate until the current dropped to 0.05C, and then discharged at a constant current rate of 1C to 2.8V. This discharge capacity was recorded as the initial capacity C1. The battery was then recharged to 100% SOC and stored at 60°C for 10 days. After storage, the battery was allowed to stand at room temperature for 2 hours, then discharged at a 1C rate to 2.8V, and the capacity was recorded as C2. The capacity retention rate was calculated as (C2 / C1)×100%. Subsequently, three standard cycles were performed at room temperature, and the third discharge capacity C3 was recorded.
[0118] Calculate the capacity recovery rate = (C3 / C1) × 100%.
[0119] Interface stability was tested using a lithium-ion composite electrolyte-lithium symmetric battery configuration (both the working and counter electrodes were lithium sheets), maintaining a stacking pressure of 5 MPa throughout the test. A stepped current ramp method was used, starting from 0.1 mA·cm⁻¹. -2 Initially, the concentration increased by 0.1 mA·cm every 10 hours. -2 Each current density stage employed a cyclic pattern of 0.5 h deposition followed by 0.5 h stripping until the battery short-circuited. The critical current density (CCD) was defined as the last stable current density before failure, and the total stabilization time was the cumulative test duration from the start of the test to failure, to evaluate the ability to suppress lithium dendrite growth and maintain interface stability.
[0120] The test results are shown in Tables 2 and 3.
[0121] Table 2

[0123] Table 3
[0124]
[0125] As shown in Table 1:
[0126] Comparative Example 1, prepared using a traditional high-energy ball milling method without introducing a MOF system, showed a decrease in room-temperature ionic conductivity, capacity retention after 200 cycles, and relative density. The core reason is that the traditional ball milling method struggles to avoid sulfide particle agglomeration. During high-energy ball milling, sulfide particles have high surface energy, making them prone to agglomeration into micron-sized or even larger aggregates during preparation and post-processing. This leads to a significant reduction in specific surface area and poor interparticle contact. These agglomerated regions not only fail to provide effective ion conduction but also become stress concentration points, weakening the mechanical properties of the composite material. Furthermore, the traditional method results in a distinct macroscopic phase interface between the sulfide and the polymer matrix. The chemical and physical incompatibility of the two phases forms a high-resistivity layer at the interface, severely limiting ion transport efficiency. The first-cycle coulombic efficiency of Comparative Example 1 also decreased significantly, indicating numerous irreversible side reactions at the interface, causing lithium-ion loss. In terms of cycle performance, the capacity retention rate of Comparative Example 1 dropped to 70% after 200 cycles and further fell below 65% after 500 cycles, indicating that the structural instability and interface degradation caused by aggregation accumulated and intensified with the cycling process. In the rate performance test, its 3C / 0.2C capacity ratio was only 40%, far lower than that of Example 1, indicating that the high-impedance interface severely limited the kinetics of rapid charge and discharge.
[0127] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 2 did not undergo a MOF impurity removal step, resulting in residual guest molecules within the MOF channels. This hindered the sufficient entry of precursors into the channels, leading to a lower room-temperature ionic conductivity. This result indicates that MOF impurity removal is a prerequisite for achieving the confined synthesis strategy. Unremoved MOF channels are occupied by residual coordination solvents or guest molecules, forcing precursors to adsorb only on the outer surface of the MOF particles or in larger mesopores. In-situ sulfide formation primarily occurs outside the MOF rather than inside the channels, significantly weakening the nano-confining effect. The relative density, capacity retention after 200 cycles, and first-cycle coulombic efficiency of Comparative Example 2 are all between those of Comparative Example 1 and Example 1, indicating that some confinement effect still exists but is insufficient. In the low-temperature conductivity test, the conductivity of Comparative Example 2 at 0°C is significantly lower than that of Example 1, suggesting insufficient continuity and uniformity of the ion transport channels in Comparative Example 2, resulting in a significant increase in ion transport resistance at low temperatures. By comparing Comparative Example 2 with Example 1, the key role of MOF channel impurity removal in achieving sufficient precursor loading and ensuring uniform in-situ formation of sulfides within the channels was demonstrated.
[0128] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 3 employed high-energy ball milling during the precursor loading stage, resulting in damage to the MOF framework structure and partial collapse of the pores. This led to a decrease in its room-temperature ionic conductivity, relative density, and capacity retention after 200 cycles. The damage to the MOF framework caused by high-energy ball milling is multifaceted: the intense mechanical shear force causes the MOF coordination bonds to break, the three-dimensional ordered pore structure to collapse, and a significant decrease in specific surface area and pore volume; the pore collapse renders the originally orderly confined space disordered, and the nucleation and growth of sulfides loses the spatial constraint at the nanoscale, resulting in a wider particle size distribution; the damage to the MOF framework also weakens its mechanical support as a three-dimensional reinforcing phase, reducing the overall mechanical properties of the composite electrolyte. This demonstrates the necessity of a mild loading strategy for protecting the integrity of the MOF framework and ensuring the full utilization of the confinement effect.
[0129] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 4, with its heat treatment temperature increased to 300°C, showed a decrease in capacity retention and rate performance after 200 cycles, as well as reduced capacity retention and recovery during high-temperature storage testing. The results indicate that heat treatment at 300°C caused partial damage to the structure, potentially leading to the decomposition or removal of some organic ligands, defects in the pore structure, and a decline in the integrity of the three-dimensional framework. Furthermore, excessively high heat treatment temperatures can promote sulfide grain growth, increasing nanocrystal size, and even causing some sulfides to break through the confinement space of the MOF and migrate outwards. Under harsh conditions such as long-term high-temperature storage, structural defects can accelerate interface degradation and capacity decay. The comparison in Comparative Example 4 verifies the importance of heat treatment temperature in ensuring sufficient reaction of the precursor to generate the target sulfide phase while maintaining the structural integrity of the MOF framework.
[0130] Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 5, which uses mesoporous silica with nanoscale pores instead of MOF as the support, exhibits lower room-temperature ionic conductivity, first-cycle coulombic efficiency, and capacity retention after 200 cycles compared to Example 1. The fundamental reason for this difference lies in the fact that the organic-inorganic hybrid framework of MOF provides confinement space, while its metal clusters and organic ligands can form chemical bonds or strong interactions with sulfides, achieving atomic / molecular-level interfacial integration. In contrast, inorganic oxides such as silica primarily have physical contact with sulfides, resulting in weak interfacial bonding and high interfacial impedance. Furthermore, the three-dimensional organic ligand network of MOF provides mechanical support, and its pore wall structure may offer additional transport paths for lithium ions, creating a synergistic effect with the bulk conduction of sulfides. Silica itself does not conduct lithium ions, purely serving a physical isolation and support function, which dilutes the overall ionic conductivity. The rate performance of Comparative Example 5 falls between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1, indicating that while the confinement effect exists, interfacial synergy is insufficient. The comparative verification of Example 5 highlights the dual functional role of MOF materials in the technical solution of this application: it serves as both a nanoreactor for confined synthesis and a three-dimensional reinforcing phase for providing mechanical support and ion transport synergy. This integrated structure-function design is the key to achieving good overall performance.
[0131] The systematic comparative verification results of Comparative Examples 1-5 show that the technological contributions of each core technical element in this application exhibit a cumulative and synergistic effect. Compared with the traditional method used in Comparative Example 1, the complete technical solution adopted in the embodiments of this application does not result in a simple linear summation of the effects of each technical means, but rather exhibits a significant multiplier effect. This effect is attributed to the synergistic coupling effect between the technological innovations at the level of this application. The MOF nanoreactor confined synthesis strategy of this application fundamentally changes the preparation paradigm of sulfide composite electrolytes, transforming it from "synthesis first, then composite" to "in-situ integrated generation," from "micron-scale aggregates" to "nanoscale uniform dispersion," and from "high-impedance macroscopic interfaces" to "low-impedance atomic-level interfaces." This transformation brings about a significant improvement in material properties.
