[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are currently widely used in 3C digital products, electric vehicles, and energy storage power stations. However, their safety performance still needs improvement, primarily due to the presence of flammable electrolytes. Therefore, scientists have proposed replacing the flammable electrolyte in traditional lithium-ion batteries with a non-flammable solid electrolyte, resulting in what is known as an all-solid-state battery.
[0003] Currently, all-solid-state batteries are packaged in pouch cells. Pouch cells have several drawbacks. First, they are less safe under mechanical abuse and prone to thermal runaway. Second, all-solid-state batteries using high-energy-density positive and negative electrode active materials experience significant volume expansion, making the aluminum-plastic film of pouch cells susceptible to localized breakage during cycling. Furthermore, all-solid-state pouch cells require additional clamps for pressurization, posing a significant challenge to battery system design. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0027] In the present application, for the technical features described in an open-ended manner, it includes a closed technical solution composed of the listed features, as well as an open technical solution including the listed features.
[0028] In this application, numerical ranges are referred to as continuous unless otherwise specified, and include the minimum and maximum values of the range, as well as every value between the minimum and maximum values. Furthermore, when the range refers to integers, it includes every integer between the minimum and maximum values of the range. Additionally, when multiple ranges are provided to describe a feature or characteristic, the ranges may be merged. In other words, unless otherwise specified, all ranges disclosed herein should be understood to include any and all subranges to which they are incorporated.
[0029] In one embodiment of this application, a solid-state battery protective film is provided, the solid-state battery protective film comprising a first polymer, a second polymer, a catalyst and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The molecular structure of the first polymer contains at least one functional group selected from carbonyl, amino, and hydroxyl groups; The molecular structure of the second polymer contains carbon-carbon double bonds and / or ether bonds; The catalyst includes at least one of metal chlorides and sulfates.
[0030] The solid-state battery protective film provided in this application includes a first polymer containing specific functional groups and a second polymer containing specific chemical bonds, as well as a specific type of catalyst and N,N-dimethylformamide. When subsequently applied in solid-state batteries, it can effectively absorb sulfur vapor and oxygen generated during solid-state battery cycling, thereby achieving high energy density solid-state batteries with excellent thermal stability and cycling performance.
[0031] Specifically, solid-state batteries release active sulfur (sulfur vapor) during cycling or at high temperatures. The released sulfur vapor reacts violently with oxygen released from the positive electrode active material, leading to thermal runaway and reducing battery safety. The first polymer provided in this application contains at least one functional group among carbonyl, amino, and hydroxyl groups in its molecular structure. These functional groups can generate strong coordination or chemical reactions with sulfur molecules, thereby effectively absorbing sulfur vapor generated during solid-state battery cycling. The second polymer provided in this application contains carbon-carbon double bonds and / or ether bonds in its molecular structure, which can react with oxygen, thereby effectively absorbing oxygen generated during solid-state battery cycling. The presence of the catalyst and N,N-dimethylformamide can further promote the absorption of sulfur vapor by the first polymer and the absorption of oxygen by the second polymer. Therefore, the four substances work together to effectively reduce the side reactions of sulfur vapor and oxygen, protect the electrode and electrolyte interface, and thus improve the thermal stability of the solid-state battery. Since the above four components can effectively improve the thermal stability of the solid-state battery, materials with higher energy density can be introduced into the solid-state battery or the solid-state battery can be assembled in an internal series manner, thereby achieving a high-energy-density solid-state battery with good thermal stability.
[0032] It should be noted that the testing method for at least one functional group among carbonyl, amino, and hydroxyl groups in the molecular structure of the first polymer and carbon-carbon double bonds and / or ether bonds in the molecular structure of the second polymer is as follows: Take the solid-state battery protective film, dissolve it in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and perform gel permeation chromatography (including a multi-angle laser light scattering detector) on the solution. The two polymers are distinguished based on the refractive index results, thus separating the two polymers. Further, take solutions of the two polymers separately, drop one of them onto a KBr salt plate, and after the solvent evaporates, a uniform transparent film is formed. Subsequently, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used for testing. Specifically, if at 1850 cm⁻¹... -1 ~1650 cm -1 A peak at 3500 cm⁻¹ indicates the presence of a carbonyl group; a peak at 3500 cm⁻¹ indicates the presence of a carbonyl group. -1 ~3300 cm -1 The presence of two peaks at 3600-3200 cm⁻¹ indicates the presence of amino groups; if the peaks are at 3600-3200 cm⁻¹... -1 The presence of a peak at a certain location indicates the presence of hydroxyl groups; another method involves nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy testing, and if a peak is observed at a certain location... 1 A signal in the 4.5 ppm to 6.5 ppm range in ¹H NMR indicates the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond; if... 1 The presence of a signal in the 3.3 ppm to 4.0 ppm range in ¹H NMR indicates the presence of an ether bond.
[0033] It should be noted that the test method for the catalyst type is inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). A solid-state battery protective film is dissolved in aqua regia, and ICP-AES is performed. The inorganic composition is inferred based on the measured inorganic element content.
[0034] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the first polymer to the second polymer is 1:(0.5~0.8).
[0035] For example, the mass ratio of the first polymer and the second polymer can be any point value between 1:(0.5~0.8) or a range value between any two points, such as 1:0.5, 1:0.55, 1:0.6, 1:0.65, 1:0.7, 1:0.75, 1:0.8, etc.
[0036] It should be noted that the method for testing the mass ratio of the first polymer and the second polymer is nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Specifically, a solid-state battery protective film is taken, dissolved in DMF, and the solution is subjected to nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Then, based on the area ratio of the characteristic proton peaks in the two polymers, the mass ratio of the two polymers is calculated.
[0037] This application research found that the mass ratio of the first polymer and the second polymer affects the absorption effect of sulfur vapor and oxygen, and also affects the mechanical properties of the solid-state battery protective film; when the mass ratio of the first polymer and the second polymer is selected within the above range, the thermal stability of the solid-state battery can be better improved, and the safety performance of the solid-state battery can be improved.
[0038] In some embodiments, the mass content of the catalyst is 0.5% to 2% based on the total mass of the solid-state battery protective film.
[0039] For example, based on the total mass of the solid-state battery protective film, the mass content of the catalyst can be any point value or a range between any two points between 0.5% and 2%, such as 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, etc.
[0040] It should be noted that the method for testing the mass content of the catalyst is inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Specifically, a solid-state battery protective film is taken, dissolved in aqua regia, and subjected to ICP-AES. The actual mass of the catalyst is calculated based on the measured concentration of inorganic elements, and then the actual mass of the catalyst is divided by the initial mass of the film to obtain the mass content of the catalyst.
[0041] This study found that the amount of catalyst added affects the absorption capacity of the first polymer for sulfur vapor and the absorption capacity of the second polymer for oxygen. When the mass content of the catalyst is selected within the above range, sulfur vapor and oxygen can be removed more efficiently, reducing corrosion of the solid electrolyte and electrode interface, reducing side reactions caused by sulfur and oxygen, reducing the occurrence of chain exothermic reactions, and effectively improving the thermal stability and safety performance of solid-state batteries.
[0042] It should be noted that the mass content of the catalyst can be adjusted by controlling the amount of catalyst added during the preparation process.
[0043] In some embodiments, the mass content of N,N-dimethylformamide is 0.1% to 1% based on the total mass of the solid-state battery protective film.
[0044] For example, based on the total mass of the solid-state battery protective film, the mass content of N,N-dimethylformamide can be any point value or a range between any two points between 0.1% and 1%, such as 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, or 1%.
[0045] It should be noted that the test method for the mass content of N,N-dimethylformamide is thermogravimetric analysis. Specifically, the solid-state battery protective film is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis, and the mass loss before 150°C corresponds to the mass content of DMF.
[0046] This study found that the amount of N,N-dimethylformamide added affects the absorption of sulfur vapor by the first polymer, and also affects the structural stability of the solid-state battery protective film. When the mass content of N,N-dimethylformamide is further selected within the above range, the overall performance of the solid-state battery prepared subsequently is better.
[0047] It should be noted that the mass content of N,N-dimethylformamide can be controlled by adjusting the amount of N,N-dimethylformamide added during the preparation process.
[0048] In some embodiments, the first polymer includes at least one of polyacetylimide (PI), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and chitosan (CS).
[0049] This application research found that polyacetylimide contains carbonyl groups, polyvinylpyrrolidone contains carbonyl groups, and chitosan contains hydroxyl and amino groups. Selecting these types of substances as the first polymer not only provides excellent sulfur vapor absorption capacity, but also demonstrates that polyvinylpyrrolidone exhibits good thermal stability and excellent mechanical properties; polyvinylpyrrolidone is an excellent sulfur carrier with strong anchoring ability for sulfides; and chitosan has a large sulfur vapor adsorption capacity. Therefore, further selecting these types of substances as the first polymer can better improve the thermal stability and safety performance of solid-state batteries.
[0050] In some embodiments, the second polymer includes at least one of natural rubber (NR), polybutadiene (PB), and polyethylene glycol (PEG).
[0051] This study found that natural rubber contains carbon-carbon double bonds, polybutadiene contains carbon-carbon double bonds, and polyethylene glycol contains ether bonds. Selecting these types of substances as the second polymer reveals that natural rubber possesses excellent elasticity and film-forming properties, and can effectively adapt to volume changes during cycling while absorbing oxygen; polybutadiene has a relatively controllable structure and good elasticity and mechanical properties; and polyethylene glycol not only participates in oxygen absorption but also has a certain ability to improve interfacial contact. Therefore, further selecting these types of substances as the second polymer can more effectively improve the thermal stability and cycle performance of solid-state batteries.
[0052] In some embodiments, the catalyst includes at least one of ferrous chloride and manganese sulfate.
[0053] This study found that the type of catalyst affects catalytic efficiency and also the structural stability of the solid-state battery protective film. When the catalyst is further selected to be of the above-mentioned type, the overall performance of the solid-state battery prepared subsequently is better.
[0054] In some embodiments, the weight-average molecular weight of the first polymer and the weight-average molecular weight of the second polymer are each independently between 500,000 and 1,000,000.
[0055] For example, the weight-average molecular weight of the first polymer and the weight-average molecular weight of the second polymer can each be any point value between 500,000 and 1,000,000 or a range between any two points, such as 500,000, 550,000, 600,000, 650,000, 700,000, 750,000, 800,000, 850,000, 900,000, 950,000, 1,000,000, etc.
[0056] It should be noted that the weight-average molecular weight of the first and second polymers was determined using gel permeation chromatography (with a multi-angle laser light scattering detector). Specifically, a solid-state battery protective film was taken, dissolved in DMF, and the solution was subjected to gel permeation chromatography (with a multi-angle laser light scattering detector). The two polymers were distinguished based on the refractive index results, and the weight-average molecular weight of each polymer was further determined.
[0057] This study found that the weight-average molecular weight of the first polymer and the second polymer not only affects their respective absorption capacity for sulfur vapor and oxygen, but also affects the mechanical properties of the solid-state battery protective film. When the weight-average molecular weights of the first polymer and the second polymer are further selected to be independently within the above range, the overall performance of the obtained solid-state battery is better.
[0058] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the catalyst is 0.5 μm to 2 μm.
[0059] For example, the average particle size of the catalyst can be any point value or a range between any two points between 0.5 μm and 2 μm, such as 0.5 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, 2 μm, etc.
[0060] It should be noted that the average particle size of the catalyst was measured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Specifically, a solid-state battery protective film was subjected to SEM testing; the spherical morphology within the film represented the catalyst, and the particle size of the catalyst was determined using SEM.
[0061] This study found that the average particle size of the catalyst affects its catalytic effect on the absorption of sulfur vapor by the first polymer and the absorption of oxygen by the second polymer, and also affects its dispersion uniformity in the system. When the average particle size of the catalyst is selected within the above range, excellent catalytic activity and high stability can be obtained, thereby making the overall performance of the solid-state battery prepared subsequently better.
[0062] It should be noted that the average particle size of the catalyst can be controlled by the crushing and sieving process of the catalyst.
[0063] A second aspect of this application provides a solid-state battery, the solid-state battery comprising a cell, a solid-state battery protective film as described in this application disposed on at least a portion of the surface of the cell, and a casing.
[0064] This application research found that by placing the solid-state battery protective film described in this application on at least a portion of the surface of the battery cell, it can effectively absorb sulfur vapor and oxygen generated during cycling without affecting the positive and negative electrode structures in the battery cell. Therefore, it can ensure the energy density of the solid-state battery. In fact, the presence of the solid-state battery protective film improves the thermal stability of the solid-state battery. The positive and negative electrodes of the battery cell can be made of materials with higher energy density. The presence of the solid-state battery protective film can absorb sulfur vapor and oxygen generated by high-energy-density materials during cycling, thereby improving the thermal stability and safety performance of the solid-state battery.
[0065] In some embodiments, the housing is disposed on the surface of the solid-state battery protective film.
[0066] In some embodiments, the thickness of the solid-state battery protective film is 0.1 mm to 10 mm.
[0067] For example, the thickness of the solid-state battery protective film can be any point value or a range between any two points between 0.1 mm and 10 mm, such as 0.1 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, etc.
[0068] In some embodiments, the thickness of the solid-state battery protective film is 2 mm to 5 mm. For example, it can be 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, etc.
[0069] It should be noted that the test method for the thickness of the solid-state battery protective film is as follows: take a solid-state battery and measure the thickness of the solid-state battery protective film with a vernier caliper.
[0070] This study found that the thickness of the solid-state battery protective film affects the content of the first and second polymers within the solid-state battery system, thereby influencing the absorption capacity and adsorption capacity for sulfur vapor and oxygen. Simultaneously, the thickness also affects the protective film's ability to adapt to volume expansion and contraction during solid-state battery cycling. Furthermore, a suitable thickness range for the protective film can prevent it from occupying excessive space within the solid-state battery, thus indirectly reducing the content of active materials. Therefore, when the thickness of the solid-state battery protective film is further selected within the aforementioned range, the resulting solid-state battery exhibits superior overall performance.
[0071] It should be noted that the thickness of the solid-state battery protective film can be controlled by changing the mass of the mixture that can form the solid-state battery protective film introduced during the preparation process.
[0072] In some embodiments, the yield strength of the outer shell under tensile conditions is 100 MPa to 600 MPa.
[0073] For example, the yield strength of the shell under tensile conditions can be any point value or a range between any two points between 100 MPa and 600 MPa, such as 100 MPa, 150 MPa, 200 MPa, 250 MPa, 300 MPa, 350 MPa, 400 MPa, 450 MPa, 500 MPa, 550 MPa, 600 MPa, etc.
[0074] It should be noted that the test method for the yield strength of the outer shell under tensile conditions is as follows: take the solid-state battery, disassemble it to obtain the outer shell, and then conduct the test according to the tensile method in GB / T228.1-2021.
[0075] This study found that the yield strength of the casing under tensile conditions affects its ability to resist internal pressure changes and external abuse in solid-state batteries, as well as its ability to adapt to internal volume changes and improve safe pressure relief. When the yield strength of the casing under tensile conditions is further selected within the above range, the safety performance of solid-state batteries can be effectively improved.
[0076] It should be noted that the yield strength of the outer shell under tensile conditions can be controlled by changing the chemical composition of the outer shell material and the preparation process.
[0077] In some embodiments, the housing comprises nickel-plated steel.
[0078] This study found that nickel-plated steel has good corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, as well as excellent mechanical strength and weldability; therefore, choosing a casing that includes nickel-plated steel can better help achieve the excellent overall performance of solid-state batteries.
[0079] In some embodiments, an elastic buffer layer is also provided between the solid-state battery protective film and the outer casing.
[0080] This study found that introducing an elastic buffer layer between the solid-state battery protective film and the casing can better improve the solid-state battery's ability to adapt to volume changes during cycling and its ability to buffer against external shocks, thereby effectively improving the thermal stability and cycle performance of the solid-state battery.
[0081] In some embodiments, the thickness of the elastic buffer layer is 1 mm to 50 mm.
[0082] For example, the thickness of the elastic buffer layer can be any point value or a range between any two points between 1mm and 50mm, such as 1mm, 2mm, 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, etc.
[0083] It is found in the research of this application that the thickness of the elastic buffer layer affects the buffering capacity, and also affects the heat dissipation capacity and the overall energy density (if it is too thick, it will occupy the space of the solid-state battery, resulting in a decrease in the content of the active material and indirectly affecting the energy density). When the thickness of the elastic buffer layer is further selected within the above range, the comprehensive performance of the obtained solid-state battery is better.
[0084] In some embodiments, the elastic buffer layer includes at least one of rubber, silica gel, and foam.
[0085] It is found in the research of this application that selecting the above types of substances to prepare the elastic buffer layer is simple and easy to obtain, and has excellent buffering capacity.
[0086] In some embodiments, the battery cell includes a positive and negative integrated electrode sheet and a solid electrolyte membrane; the positive and negative integrated electrode sheet includes a copper-aluminum composite current collector, a negative electrode sheet disposed close to the copper side, and a positive electrode sheet disposed close to the aluminum side; the positive electrode sheet away from the copper-aluminum composite current collector side includes a positive electrode active material layer, the positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material includes Li a Ni x Co y M z O2, where M is at least one of Mn, Ti, Al, Zr, Ta, and W, 0.95 ≤ a ≤ 1.05, 0.33 ≤ x ≤ 0.98, 0 < y < 1, 0 < z < 1, and x + y + z = 1.
[0087] It is found in the research of this application that selecting the above types of positive electrode active materials and adopting the internal series structure design of the positive and negative integration can provide a relatively high energy density.
[0088] In some embodiments, the solid electrolyte membrane includes a solid electrolyte, and the solid electrolyte includes at least one of a sulfide solid electrolyte and a halide solid electrolyte.
[0089] This application has no special requirements for the selection of sulfide solid electrolytes and halide solid electrolytes, and they can be sulfide solid electrolytes and halide solid electrolytes commonly used in the art.

The sheet-shaped positive electrode is then combined with the aluminum side of a copper-aluminum composite current collector by a roller press to obtain a positive electrode sheet. (2) Preparation of integrated positive and negative electrode: The negative active material (pure silicon), solid electrolyte (lithium phosphorus sulfur chloride, LPSCl), negative conductive agent (VGCF), and negative binder (SEPS) are weighed in a mass ratio of 90:5:5, and then xylene is added and stirred to obtain a negative slurry; then the slurry is coated on the reverse side of the positive electrode prepared in step (1) (i.e. the copper side of the copper-aluminum composite current collector), and baked at 80°C for 6 hours to obtain an integrated positive and negative electrode; (3) Preparation of solid electrolyte membrane: Weigh solid electrolyte (LPSCl) and binder (NBR) at a mass ratio of 96:4, then add xylene, stir, the solid content is 50%, and coat to obtain solid electrolyte membrane; (4) Use a punching machine to cut the positive and negative integrated electrode sheet and the solid electrolyte membrane into round sheets, and then stack the cut positive and negative integrated electrode sheet and the solid electrolyte membrane in sequence, wherein the positive electrode side of the positive and negative integrated electrode sheet faces the negative electrode side of the positive and negative integrated electrode sheet.
