AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In solid-state lithium batteries, it is difficult to achieve close contact between the positive electrode active material and the solid electrolyte, resulting in high polarization and low utilization of active materials. Furthermore, in existing technologies, the reaction between the positive electrode active material and the solid electrolyte creates resistance, affecting the movement of Li ions.

Method used

By subjecting the surface layer of the lithium nickel manganese/cobalt oxide (NMC) positive electrode active material to heat treatment and/or high-pressure treatment, a sulfur interlayer is formed with the sulfide solid electrolyte, resulting in niobium (oxy) sulfide or zirconium (oxy) sulfide, thereby enhancing electronic conductivity and electrochemical performance.

Benefits of technology

This improved the contact stability and electronic conductivity between the positive electrode active material and the solid electrolyte, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of the battery.
