Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid-state battery technology, specifically to an in-situ polymer solid electrolyte based on direct control of polymer chain orientation by a strong magnetic field, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and large-scale energy storage technologies, the demand for high-energy-density and high-safety rechargeable batteries is becoming increasingly urgent. Traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries pose serious safety hazards due to the use of flammable organic electrolytes, such as leakage, combustion, and even explosion. Replacing liquid electrolytes with solid electrolytes is a key approach to solving these problems.

[0003] Polymer solid electrolytes are considered a key direction for the commercialization of all-solid-state batteries due to their advantages such as light weight, good flexibility, excellent processing performance, and good contact with the electrode interface. However, in polymer electrolytes prepared by conventional solution casting or hot pressing methods, the polymer crystallinity is high, the chain segment arrangement is disordered, the ion transport channels are not fully optimized, and the room temperature ionic conductivity is still difficult to exceed 10. -4 The S / cm level is significantly lower than the threshold for commercial application (>1 mS / cm).

[0004] In recent years, magnetic field-assisted technology has shown great potential in the preparation of polymer composite electrolytes (comprising polymers and active fillers). For example, Chinese patent application CN111403804A describes the use of magnetic field-induced magnetic composite fibers (Fe3O4 / lithium lanthanum titanate) vertically aligned on a polymer matrix, which increases the polymer's ionic conductivity to 1.7 × 10⁻⁶. -4S / cm. Chinese patent application CN118800949A uses a magnetic field (0.1-5 T) combined with gamma-ray irradiation for in-situ curing to achieve directional alignment of SiO2@Fe3O4 nanoparticles and reduce interfacial impedance. Chinese patent application CN117438645A uses a vertical magnetic field (1.1-1.4 T) to guide the orientation of Fe3O4@SiO2 hollow nanorods, followed by UV curing to form vertical lithium-ion channels. Chinese patent application CN106654369A uses a 0.5 T magnetic field to regulate the vertical alignment of Fe3O4 nanorods in a PVDF-HFP matrix, improving the ionic conductivity of the gel electrolyte. Chinese patent application CN111725566A uses a magnetic field (0.5-1.4 T) to induce the orientation of organically modified sepiolite@Fe3O8 nanofibers, enhancing the mechanical properties of PEO-based electrolytes. Chinese patent application CN115483432A describes the directional alignment of LAGP@Fe3O4 core-shell nanowires using a magnetic field (0.2-0.5T) to form a continuous ion-permeable layer. Chinese patent application CN120767407A uses a 0.1-0.5T magnetic field to drive the enrichment of organometallic acid salt ions on the membrane surface, forming a fast ion-conducting interface. Chinese patent application CN112421122A uses a 0.8T magnetic field to achieve a two-dimensional ordered arrangement of Fe3O4 nanoparticles within a block polymer, thereby improving conductivity.

[0005] The above analysis shows that existing magnetically controlled polymer battery materials generally employ an indirect control strategy. This involves adding magnetic nanoparticles (such as Fe3O4 or SiO2@Fe3O4) to the polymer matrix and using an external magnetic field (0.1-5 T) to induce these particles to align and form ion transport channels. Although this method can effectively improve ionic conductivity, it has the following fundamental limitations: 1) Loss of flexibility: Rigid magnetic fillers destroy the intrinsic flexibility of the polymer, leading to poor contact between the electrolyte membrane and the electrode interface; 2) Secondary interface problems: The incompatibility between magnetic particles and the polymer matrix introduces new interface defects (such as Fe3O4 agglomeration), hindering ion transport; 3) Process complexity: It requires multi-step control of the magnetic field and curing conditions (such as ultraviolet / irradiation), and it is difficult to ensure uniform distribution of the filler.

[0006] Chinese patent application CN120767407A discloses a polymer electrolyte membrane, its preparation method, and its application. Comparative Example 2 discloses the following: A polymer, plasticizer, and lithium salt are dissolved in an organic solvent to obtain a polymer electrolyte slurry; wherein the polymer has a mass of 1 g, the plasticizer has a mass of 0.2 g, and the lithium salt has a mass of 362 mg; wherein the polymer is polyethylene oxide, the plasticizer is succinate, and the lithium salt is lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide; the organic solvent is anhydrous acetonitrile, and the amount used is 25 ml. The polymer electrolyte slurry is coated onto a template, subjected to static treatment under an external magnetic field, and then vacuum dried to obtain a polymer electrolyte membrane; wherein the direction of the external magnetic field is perpendicular to the template, the template material is polytetrafluoroethylene, the thickness of the polymer electrolyte membrane is 20 μm, the magnitude of the external magnetic field is 0.3 T, the static treatment time is 12 h, and the vacuum drying temperature is 60 °C for 12 h. They disclosed a method of directly treating the electrolyte membrane using a magnetic field, but the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte membrane they prepared was 0.85 mS / cm, which could not meet the requirements for commercial application (>1 mS / cm).

[0080] In Examples 1-9 of this invention, no magnetic filler was added, and a strong magnetic field was used for treatment. This directly utilizes the magnetic field to regulate the polymer chain structure, achieving precise control of the polymer's microstructure (such as crystal orientation) to form rapid ion channels. It also reduces the polymer's crystallinity, enhances chain segment mobility, strengthens material flexibility, and significantly improves the ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility of the polymer electrolyte. The prepared electrolyte exhibits a room-temperature ionic conductivity of 1.02-5.51 mS / cm. In contrast, Comparative Examples 2-3 used weak magnetic fields of 0.3T and 0.95T. Due to the low diamagnetic coefficient of the polymer, these methods could not achieve the effect of precisely controlling the polymer's microstructure to form rapid ion channels. Furthermore, the magnetic energy was insufficient to reduce the polymer's crystallinity and enhance chain segment mobility. (See schematic diagram below.) Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the room temperature ionic conductivity of the obtained electrolyte membrane is only 0.68 mS / cm and 0.88 mS / cm, both less than 1 mS / cm, which cannot achieve the room temperature ionic conductivity of more than 1 mS / cm required by this invention to meet the requirements for commercial application. In contrast, in Comparative Example 4, a horizontal magnetic field was used, which made the orientation direction of the molecular chain perpendicular to the ion transport direction, thus hindering ion transport. Therefore, the ionic conductivity was only 0.08 mS / cm.

[0081] This invention involves magnetically induced in-situ polymerization and solidification of a mixed precursor solution containing a polymer matrix and an electrolyte salt (lithium salt and / or sodium salt) under a strong magnetic field of 1 T to 20 T. The strong magnetic field directly controls the polymer chain orientation, and post-processing yields a polymer solid electrolyte with high room temperature ionic conductivity (greater than 1 mS / cm). This method utilizes a strong magnetic field to reduce polymer crystallinity and induce ordered arrangement of polymer molecular chains. Combined with in-situ polymerization technology, it locks in the ordered structure, constructing a highly efficient ion transport network without introducing magnetic fillers, thus significantly improving ionic conductivity. The preparation process of this invention is simple and controllable. The one-step in-situ polymerization avoids the multi-step problems of filler dispersion and solidification in traditional magnetic control technology. The resulting electrolyte is suitable for all-solid-state lithium / sodium-ion batteries and lithium metal batteries.

[0082] Weigh out PEO (Mw=1×10) 6 The precursor solution was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with a solid content of 15 wt%. The solution was stirred at 50°C for 4 h until completely dissolved, yielding a homogeneous and transparent precursor solution. The precursor solution was cast into a polytetrafluoroethylene mold and transferred to a magnetic field generator. A magnetic field perpendicular to the surface of the precursor solution was applied, with a strength of 0T, 0.3T, 3T, 9T, 15T, or 20T. Polymerization was carried out at 50°C for 6 h to solidify the precursor solution into a film. The film was then dried at 60°C for 12 h in a -0.1 MPa vacuum drying oven to remove residual solvent, yielding a PEO sample. The crystallinity of the sample was tested, and the results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it can be seen that a magnetic field can reduce the crystallinity of PEO.
