Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of all-solid-state battery technology, and specifically relates to an all-solid-state battery-coated halide cathode composite material, a manufacturing method thereof, and an application thereof.
Background Art
[0002] Currently, the power source with a high market share is a lithium-ion battery. The specific capacity of its positive and negative electrode materials is low, which significantly limits the energy density of the battery system. In addition, a large amount of organic liquid electrolyte is used in the battery. This electrolyte has the disadvantages of low flash point, poor thermal stability, and being flammable, bringing unpredictable safety risks to the use of the battery, and its application in a wider field is also limited. Therefore, the issue of developing a new type of battery with high energy density, high safety, and high reliability is important and urgent. Developing a cathode material with a high potential for lithium and a high specific capacity is the key point for realizing the high energy density of the battery. For example, the research and development and industrialization of high-voltage lithium cobalt oxide cathode materials, lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials, and high-nickel ternary cathode materials are accelerating. However, the measure for realizing the high safety of the battery is to solidify the battery and use a highly safe solid electrolyte instead of the liquid electrolyte of the conventional lithium battery. However, in terms of lithium-rich oxide cathode materials with a high specific capacity, for example, for Li2MnO3, the theoretical capacity is 458 mAh / g, for Li2NiO2, the theoretical capacity is 513 mAh / g, and for Li5FeO4, the theoretical capacity is 867 mAh / g. However, all of these materials have the problems of low initial efficiency and poor electrochemical reversibility. Therefore, the development of other cathode material systems is highly necessary. For example, metal halide materials have a relatively high voltage platform (>3V) and specific capacity (>400 mAh / g). Especially for metal chloride-based batteries, corresponding battery systems have already achieved initial success. For example, 20 years ago, NASA developed a Li / CuCl2-based secondary battery for use in low-temperature space power. The specific energy of this battery system at -70°C is 52.9 Wh / kg (data source: NASA SBIR Phase I, project name: "Lithium-Copper Chloride Rechargeable Battery for Low Temperature Space Power"). F.W. Dampier et al. used a LiAlCl4SO2 electrolyte in the Li / CuCl2 system, cycled it 200 times in an environment at 23°C, and tested the low-temperature discharge performance at -20°C / -30°C / -40°C / -50°C / -60°C / -70°C respectively. When manufacturing this liquid electrolyte, gaseous SO2 is injected into the mixture of LiCl and AlCl3. When the battery is used at normal temperature and high temperature, high-pressure gas components are generated inside. Therefore, glass and stainless steel materials are adopted for the battery packaging to prevent the internal pressure from becoming excessive and causing safety problems when used at high temperature. Such a battery system has excellent performance, but the battery manufacturing process is complex, the proportion of the packaging material is large, and its energy density is also restricted (F.W. Dampier, et al. Low Temperature Performance of the Rechargeable Lithium-Copper Chloride Battery).Ting Li et al. used AgCl and CuCl2 as cathode materials, and the specific capacities reached 258 mAh / g and 560 mAh / g respectively. However, the battery used a liquid electrolyte and combined soluble CuCl2 with mesoporous carbon CMK-3, but the adverse effect that CuCl2 was dissolved in the electrolyte could not be completely avoided (Ting Li, et al. Electrochimica Acta 68 (2012) 202-205. Transition-metal chlorides as conversion cathode materials for Li-ion batteries).
[0003] Currently, the academic research and industrial application of all-solid-state batteries have received sufficient attention and development. The ionic electrical conductivities of new types of sulfide solid electrolytes and halide solid electrolytes are constantly improving and have thus exceeded that of liquid electrolytes. All-solid-state batteries with different cathode systems are also being developed. For example, Patent CN 116053478 A discloses a cathode material of metal fluoride coated with a carbon layer for all-solid-state batteries. Such a method can improve the electron and electrical conductivity of the metal fluoride material. However, with the change in the volume of the cathode material during the reaction process, the electrical connection of the material gradually becomes ineffective, and the battery performance deteriorates continuously. Patent CN 109546209 A discloses an all-solid-state polymer electrolyte and a rechargeable chloride ion battery. The all-solid-state polymer material capable of conducting chloride ions is an electrolyte, and the composition of this electrolyte includes a polymer matrix, an active chlorine salt, and a solid plasticizer. The cathode material is a metal chloride, a metal chlorate oxide, or a chlorine-doped conductive polymer material. Such chloride ion solid electrolytes have too low ionic electrical conductivity at room temperature, especially at low temperatures, generally below 10 -4 S / cm, and the capacity of the battery active material in such a system is limited, generally below 200 mAh / g. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a new material system for all-solid-state batteries with high energy density and high safety.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to develop a new solid battery active material and manufacturing process. The present invention provides a solid-state battery-coated halide cathode composite material for solving the above problems, a manufacturing method thereof, and an application. By means of a spray drying method, a composite material composed of a metal halide and a halide solid electrolyte capable of conducting lithium ions is manufactured in one step and has good electrochemical performance.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] The present invention is realized by the following technical solutions. A method for manufacturing a solid-state battery-coated halide cathode composite material, dissolving a metal halide and a halide solid electrolyte in deionized water to produce an aqueous metal salt solution; using a spray drying process to spray the obtained aqueous metal salt solution into a high-temperature chamber for drying and granulation, and finally forming a spherical cathode composite material with a metal halide as the inner core and a halide solid electrolyte as the outer layer by utilizing the characteristic that the solute solubilities are different. Here, the solubility of the metal halide is lower than that of the halide solid electrolyte. The present invention provides a metal halide cathode composite material for a solid-state battery. Its inner core is a metal halide active material with a relatively high specific capacity, and the outer layer is a lithium-containing halide electrolyte material that can not only conduct lithium ions but also has an active capacity. This not only improves the ionic and electrical conductivity of the material but also can greatly improve the proportion of the active material, effectively improving the energy density of the battery. In addition, by using a solidified electrolyte instead of the liquid or gaseous components in the conventional electrolyte, not only the problem of dissolution of the halide cathode material in the liquid electrolyte is solved, but also the wide-temperature performance and safety performance of the battery are comprehensively improved. Using the spray drying process, an aqueous metal salt solution obtained is sprayed into a high-temperature chamber by a high-speed and high-pressure inert carrier gas for drying and granulation. Utilizing the characteristic of different solute solubilities, a coated spherical cathode composite material is finally formed, where the inner core is a metal halide, the outer layer is a halide solid electrolyte, and the inner and outer layers are in sufficient contact. When manufacturing the cathode composite, materials with different solubilities are preferentially selected. Generally, the solubility of the metal halide is lower than that of the halide solid electrolyte. During heating and evaporation, the metal halide crystallizes first to form crystal nuclei, and the halide solid electrolyte crystallizes on its surface to form the product with the target structure. In the spray drying process, the inert carrier gas is one of argon gas or nitrogen gas.

Non-fluoride materials with high abundance of raw materials and low manufacturing costs, such as SbCl3, CuCl2, FeCl2, CuCl, NiCl2, MnCl2, MgCl2, FeCl3, CdCl2, are more preferable. In addition, the bond energy formed by the metal and Cl, Br, I elements is weaker than the bond energy of M-F, and the electron and electrical conductivity of the material is higher. More selectively, the general formula of the halide solid electrolyte is Li m MX n where M includes one of Ni, Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Zn, Cr, Mg, Ti, V, RE, and X includes one of F, Cl, Br, I. Solid electrolyte materials with low material costs and having reversible electrochemical capacity, such as Li6VCl8, Li2MnCl4, Li2FeCl4, Li3TiCl6, Li2MgCl4, Li2FeBr4, Li2MnBr4, are more preferable. More preferably, for the aqueous metal salt solution, its mass concentration is from 5% to the saturated state. More preferably, the operating temperature of the high-temperature chamber is controlled to be 150°C - 500°C. More preferably, it is 200°C - 300°C.

Advantages of the Invention
[0006] The present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects.

Using the spray drying method, a spherical cathode composite material with a metal halide core and a halide solid electrolyte outer layer having a stepwise composition is manufactured in one step. When this composite is applied to an all-solid-state battery, it has significant advantages. Specifically, it has the following several advantages.

The cathode composite material is a metal halide cathode composite material, which has a relatively high voltage platform, generally higher than 3V, and a relatively high specific capacity, generally greater than 300 mAh / g, higher than conventional cathode materials, and can significantly improve the energy density of the battery.
[0008] 2. The core of the cathode composite material is a metal halide active material, and the outer layer is a lithium-containing halide electrolyte material that can not only conduct lithium ions but also has active capacity. This can not only improve the ionic and electrical conductivity of the material but also significantly improve the proportion of the active material in terms of material composition, which is very advantageous for constructing high-energy density batteries.
[0009] 3. In the manufacture of the cathode composite material, the target product is manufactured in one step from a metal salt solution using the spray drying process, which has the characteristics of a short process flow and a high product yield.
[0010] 4. The cathode composite material has a relatively high ionic and electrical conductivity. When manufacturing the cathode plate, it is not necessary to add a high proportion of solid electrolyte, so the proportion of the cathode active material can be improved at the plate level.
[0011] 5. The solid electrolyte used in the all-solid-state battery not only improves the safety performance and high-temperature performance of the battery but also avoids the dissolution of the halide cathode material in the organic liquid electrolyte, solving the inherent problems of this type of cathode material.
[0012] 6. After being packaged, this type of all-solid-state lithium battery reaches a fully charged state and can be directly discharged and used. In addition, the battery consistency can be determined by the open-circuit voltage and internal resistance, eliminating the need for additional charging and formation processes, significantly shortening the process, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the battery.
