Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid electrolyte technology, and in particular to a method for preparing air-stabilized lithium phosphorus sulfide bromide compounds by surface modification. Background Technology
[0002] All-solid-state lithium batteries have become a research hotspot in the field of next-generation lithium batteries due to their advantages such as high energy density, good safety, and no risk of leakage. Solid-state electrolytes, as the core component of all-solid-state lithium batteries, directly determine the overall performance of the battery. Lithium-phosphorus-sulfur-bromine compounds, as an important branch of sulfide solid electrolytes, possess high lithium-ion conductivity, good mechanical ductility, and low grain boundary resistance. They can be densified through cold pressing processes, forming close contact with the electrodes and significantly reducing interfacial impedance. Furthermore, they do not contain flammable organic solvents, fundamentally eliminating the risk of thermal runaway in traditional lithium-ion batteries, and are considered one of the most commercially promising solid electrolyte systems.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN120149518A discloses a method for preparing a lithium-phosphorus-sulfur-bromine solid electrolyte, relating to the field of solid-state lithium battery technology. The solid electrolyte is prepared by raw material pretreatment, mechanochemical ball milling, high-temperature crystallization, and post-treatment processes; dynamic bromine atmosphere control is employed, combined with sulfur partial pressure adjustment and particle size gradient design.
[0004] Chinese Patent CN121292383A: Belonging to the field of solid-state battery technology, this invention provides a lithium-sulfur-phosphorus-chlorine-bromine solid electrolyte, its preparation method, and an all-solid-state battery. The preparation method includes the following steps: mixing lithium sulfide and phosphorus sulfide and then ball-milling to obtain a lithium-sulfur-phosphorus ternary mixture; in a protective gas atmosphere, mixing the lithium-sulfur-phosphorus ternary mixture, lithium chloride, and lithium bromide and then ball-milling to obtain a lithium-sulfur-phosphorus-chlorine-bromine mixture; and in a protective gas atmosphere, heat-treating the lithium-sulfur-phosphorus-chlorine-bromine mixture to obtain the lithium-sulfur-phosphorus-chlorine-bromine solid electrolyte.
[0005] Existing technologies mainly employ doping or surface coating. Doping can lead to crystal structure distortion and reduce lithium-ion conductivity. Surface coating, on the other hand, can cause the coating layer to fall off easily and increase interfacial impedance, affecting lithium-ion transport efficiency and making it difficult to achieve a balance between stability and conductivity. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the above problems, this invention provides a method for preparing air-stabilized lithium phosphorus sulfide bromine compounds through surface modification. The operation steps are as follows, in parts by mass: S1: Lithium sulfide is vacuum dried in an argon glove box; phosphorus pentasulfide, elemental sulfur, and lithium bromide are crushed and sieved in an argon atmosphere. S2: Mix 22-44 parts lithium sulfide, 29-57 parts phosphorus pentasulfide, 7-13 parts elemental sulfur, 15-27 parts lithium bromide, and 1-5 parts dispersant evenly, and place them in a planetary ball mill. Ball milling is carried out under the protection of argon to obtain lithium phosphorus sulfur bromide compound precursor. S3: Add 0.2-2 parts of scandium oxide dopant to 60-100 parts of precursor, mix evenly, place in a tube furnace, sinter at high temperature under argon atmosphere, and then cool naturally to room temperature to obtain doped modified lithium phosphorus sulfide bromide compound. S4: The doped and modified lithium phosphorus sulfide bromide compound is placed in a reactor, with acetylene as the carbon source and phosphoric acid as the phosphorus source. The reaction is carried out under an argon atmosphere, and a phosphorus-modified carbon nanotube coating layer is deposited on the surface of the compound. After cooling, an air-stable lithium phosphorus sulfide bromide compound is obtained.
[0007] In some embodiments, the vacuum drying temperature in S1 is 100-120°C and the time is 12-16 hours.
[0008] In some embodiments, the particles in S1 are crushed and screened to a particle size of 30-50 μm.
[0009] In some embodiments, the ball-to-material ratio in S2 is 30-40:1, the ball milling speed is 300-400 r / min, and the ball milling time is 8-12 h.
[0010] In some embodiments, the sintering temperature in S3 is 500-600℃, and the sintering time is 3-6h.
[0011] In some embodiments, the acetylene flow rate in S4 is 20-30 mL / min, and the phosphoric acid flow rate is 10-15 mL / min.
[0012] In some embodiments, the reaction temperature in S4 is 700-800°C and the reaction time is 60-120 min.
[0013] In some embodiments, the coating layer thickness in S4 is 20-50 nm.
[0014] In some embodiments, the dispersant in S2 is prepared by: According to the mass fractions, 10-20 parts of N-vinylpyrrolidone, 8-16 parts of tripropylene glycol diacrylate, 100-200 parts of ethyl acetate, and 0.4-0.8 parts of azobisisobutyronitrile are added to the reaction vessel, nitrogen gas is introduced to remove oxygen for 20-40 minutes, the temperature is raised to react, and ethyl acetate is removed by vacuum distillation to obtain the dispersant.
[0015] In some embodiments, the heating reaction temperature during the preparation of the dispersant is 60-70°C, and the time is 4-8 hours.
[0016] Reaction mechanism This reaction uses azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as a thermal initiator. Under nitrogen protection and at 60-70°C, a free radical solution copolymerization reaction occurs. Upon heating, AIBN homolytically cleaves to generate isobutyronitrile free radicals, which sequentially initiate the opening of the carbon-carbon double bonds of N-vinylpyrrolidone and tripropylene glycol diacrylate, resulting in free radical addition. Monomer molecules continuously and alternately insert into the growing chain to form the polymer backbone. The diacrylate structure of tripropylene glycol diacrylate provides branching points and imparts sterically hindered chain segments, while N-vinylpyrrolidone introduces polar anchoring groups. Finally, through chain termination and free radical coupling / disproportionation reactions, a stable tripropylene glycol-based copolymer dispersant is formed. After removing the ethyl acetate solvent by vacuum distillation, the target product is obtained.

[0018] 2. The prepared material has excellent room temperature ion conductivity and stable electrochemical performance, which can meet the high-efficiency ion transport requirements of all-solid-state lithium batteries.
[0019] 3. The material has good compatibility with lithium metal anodes, which can effectively reduce interface impedance and cyclic overpotential, and improve the long-term cycle reliability of all-solid-state batteries. Detailed Implementation
[0020] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the intended purpose, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments and comparative examples: 1.

[0021] 2. Ionic conductivity retention rate: The ionic conductivity of the test sample before exposure (room temperature 25℃) and after exposure (25℃, relative humidity 50% exposure for 24h) is used to calculate the ionic conductivity retention rate (retention rate = ionic conductivity after exposure / ionic conductivity before exposure × 100%).
[0022] 3. Compatibility testing with lithium metal: Using lithium metal as electrodes, assemble lithium|lithium symmetric cells at 0.1 mA·cm⁻¹. -2 Constant current cycling was performed at a current density, and the overpotential was recorded after 600 hours of cycling. The lower the overpotential, the better the compatibility with lithium metal. Example 1
