Description

Title of the invention: CATHODE COATING FOR ALL-SOLID NA-ION OR K-ION BATTERIES FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of electrical energy storage in rechargeable secondary batteries of the Na-ion or K-ion type. More specifically, the invention relates to a cathode coating for an all-solid-state Na-ion or K-ion battery. The invention also relates to a method for preparing said coating. The invention further relates to a cathode coated with this coating, to the method for manufacturing such a cathode, and to Na-ion or K-ion secondary batteries comprising such a cathode. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0002] Demand for lithium-ion batteries has increased in recent years due to their application in a wide variety of electronic devices such as mobile phones and electric vehicles. However, lithium-based compounds are relatively expensive, and natural lithium sources are unevenly distributed and difficult to access, being located in only a small number of countries. Alternatives to lithium have been sought. To this end, sodium-ion batteries have been developed. Sodium is indeed very abundant and homogeneously distributed in the Earth's crust. It is advantageously non-toxic and more economical.

[0003] However, the redox potential of the Na+ / Na couple is -2.71 V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) and is therefore higher than that of the Li+ / Li couple, whose potential is -3.05 V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode, for a molar mass three times greater. These characteristics make sodium-ion batteries less energy-dense. New active oxide-type cathode materials bridge this gap between these two technologies by increasing the voltage and specific capacity. Unfortunately, these new materials have the drawback of being basic and therefore poorly suited to the binders conventionally used in the solvent-based cathode manufacturing process for lithium batteries. For example, a sodium-ion battery comprising a cathode prepared from a cathode material, PVDF, and carbon black is known from US2024079577.

[0004] Existing sodium secondary batteries generally use liquid electrolytes containing an organic substance. These liquid electrolytes advantageously have high ionic conductivity, but require devices additional safety measures are required due to the risk of liquid leakage, fire, or high-temperature explosion.

[0005] In an attempt to solve the safety problems associated with liquid electrolytes, recently, all-solid batteries using solid electrolytes have been developed.

[0006] An all-solid-state battery generally comprises a positive electrode, a solid electrolyte, and a negative electrode. The positive electrode comprises a positive electrode active material and a solid electrolyte, and further comprises an electronically conductive material and a binder. Like the positive electrode, the negative electrode comprises a negative electrode active material and a solid electrolyte, and further comprises a conductive material and a binder.

[0007] However, there is currently no solid electrolyte that meets the specifications for widespread use of all-solid-state batteries. Indeed, for solid electrolytes, it is generally difficult to combine ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability, mechanical strength, and compatibility with anode or cathode materials.

[0008] There is still a need to develop a solution that makes a cathode compatible with a solid electrolyte in an all-solid Na-ion or K-ion battery.

[0009] The invention therefore aims to provide a coating applicable directly to a positive electrode of a Na-ion or K-ion battery, thus allowing physical separation between the solid electrolyte and the active electrode material and making it possible to use solid electrolytes which seemed unstable with respect to certain active materials.

[0010] The invention also aims to provide a method for manufacturing said cathode coating. Finally, the invention relates to a cathode having such a coating, and to the method for manufacturing such a cathode.

[0011] Finally, the invention aims to provide rechargeable Na-ion or K-ion secondary batteries comprising such a cathode. Summary of the invention
