Embodiment

[0072] The manufacturing method of the all-solid-state lithium battery includes the following steps (1) to (4).

[0073] Step (1), manufacturing of the negative electrode sheet Under an argon gas atmosphere, 31 g of Li2S, 60 g of P2S5, 7 g of SiS2, 2 g of P2O5, and 1000 g of Li 2.3 Si were put into a ball mill pot, an appropriate amount of ZrO2 beads were added, and after high-energy ball milling at a rotation speed of 200 rpm for 2 h, it was transferred to an electric heating furnace (under a protective atmosphere), heated to 300 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C / min or more, and held for 30 min to obtain a glassy solid electrolyte composed of Li2S, P2S5, SiS2, and P2O5, and an amorphous Li 2.3 core containing Si particles dispersed therein.

[0074] 1000 g of Li 1.71 Si were put into a ball mill pot, an appropriate amount of ZrO2 beads were added, and high-energy ball milling was performed at a rotation speed of 250 rpm for 0.5 h to obtain an amorphous Li 1.71 Si alloy, and 1000 g of the core, 50 g of amorphous Li 1.71 Si alloy, and 1000 g of toluene solvent were put into a ball mill pot, an appropriate amount of ZrO2 beads were added, and ball milling was performed at a rotation speed of 50 rpm for 30 min to obtain a negative electrode material which is a core coated with an amorphous Li 1.71 Si alloy layer. When the particle sample was cut by a focused ion beam (FIB) and observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the average particle size of the amorphous Li 2.3 Si particles was about 50 nm, and the amorphous Li1.71 It was found that the average thickness of the Si alloy layer was about 250 nm and the average particle size of the entire negative electrode particles was about 1 μm.

[0075] 1000 g of the negative electrode material, 30 g of the SBR rubber-based binder, and 1500 mL of the toluene solution were put into a disperser and dispersed for 30 min to form a stable and uniform negative electrode slurry. After the negative electrode slurry was intermittently and uniformly coated on a copper foil (width 160 mm, thickness 16 μm), it was dried at 373 K and pressed by a roll press to obtain a negative electrode.

[0076] Step (2), manufacturing of the solid electrolyte layer Under an argon gas atmosphere, 600 g of the 70Li2S·30P2S5 glassy solid electrolyte material was put into 1200 g of the toluene solution containing 30 g of the butadiene rubber-based binder, and heated and stirred until a stable and uniform slurry was obtained. After the slurry was continuously coated on the negative electrode obtained in step (1), it was dried at 373 K to form a solid electrolyte layer with a thickness of 50 μm on the negative electrode.

[0077] Step (3), manufacturing of the positive electrode 1000 g of LiCoO2, 51 mL of niobium ethoxide, 12 g of lithium ethoxide, 1000 mL of deionized water, and 1000 mL of ethanol were sufficiently mixed. While continuously stirring, aqueous ammonia was dropped to adjust the pH to 10, the solution was evaporated to dryness, and the obtained powder was heated at 400 °C for 8 h to obtain a LiCoO2 positive electrode active material coated with LiNbO3 on the surface.

[0078] 1000 g of the LiCoO2 positive electrode active material coated with the above LiNbO3, 150 g of Li 10 GeP2S 12A solid electrolyte material, 30 g of a butadiene rubber binder, 20 g of acetylene black, and 20 g of carbon fiber were placed in 1500 g of a toluene solvent, and then stirred with a vacuum mixer to form a stable and uniform positive electrode mixed slurry. After the positive electrode mixed slurry was uniformly and intermittently coated on an aluminum foil (width 160 mm, thickness 16 μm), it was dried at 393 K, pressed with a roll press, and a positive electrode material layer with a thickness of 100 μm was formed on the aluminum foil to obtain a positive electrode.

Example

[0080] The manufacturing method of the all-solid-state lithium battery according to this example is that Li 2.3 Si is replaced with Li 4.4 Si, Li 1.71 Si is replaced with Li 3.75 Si, and the LiCoO2 positive electrode active material coated with LiNbO3 is replaced with TiS2, which is almost the same as Example 1. When the particle sample was cut by a focused ion beam (FIB) and observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), it was found that the average particle size of the amorphous Li 4.4 Si particles was about 75 nm, the average thickness of the amorphous Li 3.75 Si alloy layer was about 350 nm, and the average particle size of the entire negative electrode particles was about 1.3 μm.

Example

[0081] The manufacturing method of the all-solid-state lithium battery according to this example is 12.4 g of Li2S, 24 g of P2S5, 2.8 g of SiS2, 0.8 g of P2O5, and 1000 g of Li 2.3Put Si into a ball mill pot, add an appropriate amount of ZrO2 beads, and perform high-energy ball milling at a rotational speed of 150 rpm for 0.3 h. Then transfer it to an electric heating furnace (under a protective atmosphere), heat it to 300 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C / min or more, and hold for 30 min to obtain the core. Except for this, it is almost the same as Example 1, and the other steps were not changed. When the particle sample was cut by a focused ion beam (FIB) and observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), amorphous Li 2.3 The average particle size of Si particles was about 1.2 μm, and amorphous Li 1.71 The average thickness of the amorphous LiSi alloy layer was about 5 μm, and it was found that the average particle size of the entire negative electrode particles was about 30 μm.

[0082] To emphasize the beneficial effects of the examples of the present invention, the following comparative examples are provided. (Comparative Example 1)

[0083] The manufacturing method of the all-solid-state lithium battery according to this comparative example is the same as that of Example 1 except that a silicon negative electrode material coated with carbon is used instead of the negative electrode material. The manufacturing method of the silicon negative electrode material coated with carbon is as follows: Put 1000 g of Si and 240 g of sucrose into 1000 mL of deionized water and stir evenly. Then heat to 100 °C while stirring, evaporate the water, take out the solid matter, and heat it to 300 °C under an inert atmosphere to obtain a silicon negative electrode material coated with carbon. The silicon negative electrode material coated with carbon was used as the negative electrode as it was, and the other steps were not changed. (Comparative Example 2)

[0084] The manufacturing method of the all-solid-state lithium battery according to this comparative example is the same as that of Example 1 except for step (1). The specific operations of step (1) are as follows. 1000 g of Si and 240 g of sucrose are put into 1000 mL of deionized water and stirred uniformly. Then, while stirring, it is heated to 100 °C, and after the water is evaporated, the solid is taken out and heated to 300 °C in an inert atmosphere to obtain a silicon negative electrode material coated with carbon. 1000 g of the silicon negative electrode material coated with carbon, 150 g of the 70Li2S·30P2S5 glassy electrolyte material, 100 g of acetylene black, and 1500 mL of toluene are prepared into a mixed slurry, coated on a copper foil, dried, and pressed to obtain a negative electrode. The other steps were not changed. (Comparative Example 3)

[0085] In the manufacturing method of the all-solid-state lithium battery according to this comparative example, in step (1), 1000 g of the core and 50 g of amorphous Li 1.71 Si are directly mixed with 30 g of an SBR rubber-based binder and 1500 mL of a toluene solution to form a negative electrode slurry. Except for not coating 50 g of amorphous Li 1.71 Si on 950 g of the core, it is the same as Example 1, and the other steps were not changed. (Comparative Example 4)

[0086] In the manufacturing method of the all-solid-state lithium battery according to this comparative example, in step (1), 310 g of Li2S, 600 g of P2S5, 70 g of SiS2, and 20 g of P2O5 are put into a ball mill pot, an appropriate amount of ZrO2 beads are added, and after high-energy ball milling at a rotation speed of 200 rpm for 2 h, it is transferred to an electric heating furnace and heated to 300 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C / min or more, and held for 30 min to obtain a glassy solid electrolyte. Except for directly mixing 90 g of the glassy solid electrolyte, 910 g of Li 2.3 Si, and 50 g of Li 1.71 Si with 30 g of an SBR rubber-based binder and 1500 mL of a toluene solution to form a negative electrode slurry, it is the same as Example 1, and the other steps were not changed. (Comparative Example 5)

[0087] The manufacturing method of the all-solid-state lithium battery according to this comparative example is the same as that of Example 1 except that in step (1), after obtaining the core, it is directly coated on the negative electrode sheet, and amorphous Li 1.71 Si is not coated, and the other steps remain unchanged.

[0088] Performance test The battery cycle life test was conducted on the all-solid-state lithium batteries obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 above. The test method is as follows. Twenty all-solid-state lithium battery samples obtained in each example and comparative example were taken, and in a LAND CT 2001C secondary battery performance detection device, under the condition of 298 ± 1K, a charge-discharge cycle test was conducted on each battery at a rate of 0.1C.

[0089] The test steps are as follows. Leave it for 10 min, charge it at a constant voltage until it is cut off at 4.25V / 0.05C, leave it for 10 min, and discharge it at a constant current until 3V. This is one cycle, and the discharge capacity of the first cycle was recorded (using TiS2 as the positive electrode, the upper and lower limit values of the voltage are 3V / 0.05C and 1V respectively, and the other conditions are the same). Repeat the above cycle steps. When the battery capacity during the cycle is lower than 80% of the first discharge capacity, end the cycle. The number of cycles at the end of the cycle is the cycle life of the battery. Take the average value of each group, and the obtained results are shown in Table 1.

Table 1

[0090] As can be seen from Table 1, both the discharge capacity and cycle life of Comparative Example 1 are very poor. The discharge capacity and cycle life of Comparative Examples 2 to 4 are clearly lower than those of Examples 1 to 3. Comparative Example 1 of a silicon negative electrode material coated with ordinary carbon in a lithium battery using an electrolyte shows extremely poor battery performance, indicating that the negative electrode material is not suitable for all-solid-state lithium batteries. However, when the silicon negative electrode material coated with the carbon and a solid electrolyte are mixed (Comparative Example 2), the performance of the manufactured battery is improved compared to Comparative Example 1, but it is still far lower than that of the all-solid-state lithium batteries manufactured with the negative electrode materials of Examples 1 to 3 of the present application. The battery manufactured with the negative electrode material formed by directly mixing without manufacturing a core and without coating (Comparative Example 4) has an improved discharge capacity, but still has poor cycle performance. The cycle performance of the battery manufactured with the negative electrode material formed by directly using the core (Comparative Example 5) is slightly improved compared to Comparative Example 4, but the discharge capacity is slightly decreased. The battery manufactured with the negative electrode material formed by directly using the core and without coating (Comparative Example 3) has slightly improved discharge capacity and cycle performance compared to Comparative Example 4, but is not significantly improved and is far lower than the performance of the all-solid-state lithium batteries manufactured with the negative electrode materials of Examples 1 to 3 of the present application. Thereby, it is shown that the all-solid-state lithium battery manufactured using the negative electrode material of the present invention has a high discharge specific capacity of the negative electrode, a good cycle life of the battery, and is advantageous for wide use.

[0091] As described above, the embodiments of the present application have been described with reference to the drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are not restrictive but merely illustrative. A person skilled in the art can, under the suggestion of the present application, make many forms without departing from the spirit of the present application and the protection scope of the claims, and all of these belong to the protection scope of the present application.
