Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of batteries and relates to a high-purity argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolyte and a method for manufacturing the same.
Background Art
[0002] Solid electrolytes are important components of all-solid-state batteries. Among them, argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolytes have higher ionic conductivity at room temperature and lower electronic conductivity, and have good mechanical properties, contributing to the formation of a good solid / solid contact interface between the electrodes and the electrolyte in all-solid-state batteries. However, currently, many argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolyte phases are not pure and contain impurity phases such as raw materials or intermediate products during firing, which affect the chemical stability of the electrolyte and the reaction products at the electrolyte / electrode interface. In addition, high-purity-phase argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolytes are generally manufactured by extending the ball milling time of the precursor and extending the heat treatment time. The manufacturing time is generally one to two weeks, and the ionic conductivity of the obtained electrolyte at room temperature is lower. The high-speed manufacturing of high-purity argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolytes and the improvement of ionic conductivity at room temperature play an important role in optimizing the performance of electrolytes and all-solid-state lithium batteries.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] In view of the drawbacks of argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolytes in the prior art, the present invention provides a high-purity argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolyte in a pure phase and a method for manufacturing the high-purity argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolyte.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] In one aspect of the present invention, a high-purity argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolyte is provided. The molecular formula of the high-purity argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolyte is shown in the following formula I: Li 6±i P 1-e E e S5±i-g G g Cl 1±i±t T t Formula I In Formula I, 0 ≦ i < 1, 0 ≦ e < 1, 0 < g ≦ 0.5, 0.2 ≦ t < 1, E is one or more of Ge, Si, Sn, and Sb, G is a composite of Se and O or O, T is one or two of Br and I, The high-purity argyrodite-phase sulfide solid electrolyte is a pure phase, without a raw material phase, and has no impurity peaks in its X-ray diffraction spectrum.
[0005] The argyrodite-phase crystal structure is PS4 3- tetrahedrons form a framework, and Li + ions, halogen ions (Cl - , Br - , I - ) and some S 2- ions are regularly dispersed therein. Doped O preferentially replaces S in the PS4 3- tetrahedron, and some P-S bonds become P-O bonds. However, the bond distance of the P-O bond is smaller than that of the P-S bond. Therefore, due to O doping, the volume of the PS4 3- group shrinks, causing a change in the crystal structure. When the amount of O doping in Li6PS5Cl is too large, the volume of the PS4 3- group shrinks significantly, the crystal framework shrinks, and the Li + ions, S 2- ions, and Cl - ions are squeezed out, easily forming impurity phases of components such as Li2S and LiCl. Therefore, in order to avoid the generation of impurity phases, the present invention limits the number of atoms of G to 0 < g ≦ 0.5 to avoid too much O addition. At the same time, in order to ensure that the crystal structure maintains its original volume after O doping, the position of the halogen is also corresponding to Br - or I - ions with a larger radius of the doped ion. When the amount of O doping is larger, the larger halogen ions can compensate for the volume reduction caused by O doping to support the framework, ensuring that the Li +Ions, S 2- Avoid the formation of an impurity phase by squeezing out ions and halogen ions.
