[0002] Lithium secondary batteries, which boast high energy density and portability, are primarily used as power sources for mobile information terminals such as mobile phones, laptops, and smartphones. Recently, active research is underway to utilize high-energy-density lithium secondary batteries as power sources for hybrid and electric vehicles, or as power storage devices.

[0003] Commercially available lithium secondary batteries use electrolytes containing flammable organic solvents, posing safety concerns that can lead to explosions or fires in the event of collisions, penetrations, or other problems. Therefore, semi-solid or all-solid-state batteries, which avoid the use of electrolytes, are being proposed. All-solid-state batteries are comprised entirely of solid materials, specifically those that utilize solid electrolytes. These all-solid-state batteries are safe, eliminating the risk of electrolyte leakage and explosion, and offer the advantage of being easy to manufacture in thin forms.

Among them, argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolytes have an ionic conductivity of 10, which is the ionic conductivity of a typical liquid electrolyte at room temperature. -4 10 inland -2 It can exhibit high ionic conductivity approaching the S / cm range, and has the advantage of having soft mechanical properties, which can form close bonds between solid electrolytes and between the solid electrolyte and the positive active material. Accordingly, all-solid-state secondary batteries using argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolytes can exhibit improved rate characteristics, Coulombic efficiency, and cycle life characteristics.

[0030] The argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte represented by the above chemical formula 1 can realize high lithium ion conductivity of 1.0 mS / cm or more, or 2.0 mS / cm or more at 25°C, and at the same time, can exhibit high stability against moisture. For example, the solid electrolyte according to one embodiment may have a maximum H2S generation amount of 0.0036 wt% or less based on 100 wt% of the solid electrolyte, and a saturated H2S generation amount of 0.0030 wt% or less based on 100 wt% of the solid electrolyte. H2S is a type of byproduct produced when the solid electrolyte reacts with moisture in the air, and it can be said that the lower the amount of H2S produced, the higher the moisture stability of the solid electrolyte. The argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte according to one embodiment may, for example, have some of the Li sites as M 1 Replace with and optionally M 2It can be said that it is a composition in which some of the S positions are simultaneously replaced with O and N, and each is replaced with a specific content. Such a solid electrolyte can have improved moisture stability compared to the existing argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte while maintaining high lithium ion conductivity.

[0031] In Chemical Formula 1, α represents the molar ratio of oxygen, and α / y can be said to represent the molar ratio of O substitution at the S site, that is, the molar ratio of O / (S+O+N). A solid electrolyte according to one embodiment is characterized by satisfying 0<α / y≤0.2 in Chemical Formula 1, and may be, for example, 0.01≤α / y≤0.2, 0.02≤α / y≤0.2, 0.03≤α / y≤0.2, or 0.04≤α / y≤0.2. When the substitution ratio of oxygen satisfies the above range, the solid electrolyte can exhibit high lithium ion conductivity and high moisture stability.

[0033] In chemical formula 1, the range of α may be 0.01≤α≤0.9, for example, 0.05≤α≤0.9 or 0.1≤α≤0.9.

[0034] In Chemical Formula 1, β represents the molar ratio of nitrogen, and β / y can be said to represent the molar ratio of N substitution at the S site, that is, the molar ratio of N / (S+O+N). A solid electrolyte according to one embodiment is characterized by satisfying 0<β / y≤0.04 in Chemical Formula 1, and may be, for example, 0<β / y≤0.03, 0.01≤β / y≤0.04, 0.01≤β / y≤0.03, or 0.01≤β / y≤0.02.

[0036] A solid electrolyte according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises M in some of the lithium sites within the crystal structure. 1 As a result of this substitution, lithium ion conductivity can be improved and activation energy can be reduced. M 1 For example, it can be a metallic element with an oxidation number of +1 or +2, and can be said to be an element having an ionic radius larger than a lithium ion. For example, if another element having the same oxidation number as lithium but a larger ionic radius than the lithium ion is placed in some of the lithium sites in Chemical Formula 1, the volume of the crystal lattice can increase, and thus the movement of lithium ions can be more soluble within the crystal lattice. As another example, if an element having a larger oxidation number than lithium is placed in some of the lithium sites in Chemical Formula 1, some of the lithium sites can become vacant sites, and thus the movement of lithium ions can be more easily achieved within the crystal lattice.

M 2 It can be said that it is an element with an oxidation number of +1 and a larger radius than the lithium ion. In chemical formula 1, if another element with the same oxidation number as lithium but a larger ionic radius than the lithium ion is placed in some of the lithium sites, the volume of the crystal lattice can increase, and thus the movement of lithium ions within the crystal lattice can be more soluble.

[0040] In chemical formula 1, w is M 2 It refers to the molar ratio of elements and is in the range of 0≤w<0.5, for example, 0≤w≤0.4, 0≤w≤0.3, 0≤w≤0.2, or 0 <w≤0.15일 수 있다.

[0041] In chemical formula 1, a represents the molar ratio of Li, and is in the range of 4≤a≤8, and may be, for example, 4≤a≤7, or 5≤a≤6.

Here, the average particle diameter may be measured by an electron microscope image, and for example, a particle size distribution is obtained by measuring the size (diameter or major axis length) of about 20 particles in a scanning electron microscope image, and here, D 50 It may have been calculated.

[0055] Method for producing an argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte

[0056] According to one embodiment, an argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte may include, for example, lithium sulfide, phosphorus sulfide, M 1 Mix raw material, O raw material, and N raw material and optionally M 2 It can be manufactured by mixing raw materials or lithium halides.

[0057] M 1 Raw materials are for example M 1 It may be a sulfide containing an element. The O source may be, for example, lithium oxide, and the N source may be, for example, lithium nitride. M 2 Raw materials are for example M 2 It may be a sulfide containing the element.

[0058] The above raw materials can be mixed in stoichiometric proportions to produce the compound of the aforementioned chemical formula 1. Mechanical milling or a solution method can be used as a method for mixing the raw materials. Mechanical milling involves placing the starting raw materials in a ball mill reactor and vigorously stirring them to finely atomize and mix them. Using the solution method, the starting raw materials can be mixed in a solvent to obtain a solid electrolyte as a precipitate.

[0059] Heat treatment may be performed after mixing the raw materials, in which case the solid electrolyte crystals can become more solid and ionic conductivity can be improved. The heat treatment can be performed at a temperature ranging from 400°C to 600°C, for example, from 450°C to 500°C, or from 460°C to 490°C. Heat treatment within this temperature range can maximize ionic conductivity.

[0060] For example, the above raw materials can be mixed and heat-treated twice or more to manufacture, in which case a sulfide-based solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and strength can be manufactured. Manufacturing the argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte can include, for example, a first heat treatment of mixing raw materials and calcining at 120°C to 350°C, and a second heat treatment of mixing the result of the first heat treatment again and calcining at 350°C to 800°C. The first heat treatment and the second heat treatment can each be performed in an inert gas or nitrogen atmosphere. The first heat treatment can be performed for 1 hour to 10 hours, and the second heat treatment can be performed for 5 hours to 20 hours. The first heat treatment can have the effect of milling small raw materials, and the second heat treatment can synthesize the final solid electrolyte. Through two or more heat treatments as described above, a high-performance, robust, and argyrodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity can be obtained, and such a solid electrolyte can be said to be suitable for mass production. The temperature of the first heat treatment may be, for example, 150°C to 330°C, or 200°C to 300°C, and the temperature of the second heat treatment may be, for example, 380°C to 700°C, or 400°C to 600°C.

[0061] After the heat treatment, a cooling step can be further performed, and the cooling rate can be 0.5°C / min to 3°C / min, for example 0.5°C / min to 1.5°C / min. By adjusting the cooling rate within the above range, the ionic conductivity can be maximized.

[0142] As another example, the negative electrode for an all-solid-state secondary battery may be a precipitation-type negative electrode. The precipitation-type negative electrode may refer to a negative electrode that does not include a negative electrode active material when the battery is assembled, but in which lithium metal or the like is precipitated or deposited on the negative electrode when the battery is charged, and this acts as a negative electrode active material.

[0143] Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an all-solid-state secondary battery including a precipitation-type negative electrode. Referring to Fig. 2, the precipitation-type negative electrode (400') may include a current collector (401) and a negative electrode coating layer (405) positioned on the current collector. An all-solid-state secondary battery including such a precipitation-type negative electrode (400') starts initial charging in a state in which no negative electrode active material is present, and during charging, high-density lithium metal is precipitated or deposited between the current collector (401) and the negative electrode coating layer (405) or on the negative electrode coating layer (405) to form a lithium metal layer (404), which may function as a negative electrode active material. Accordingly, in an all-solid-state secondary battery that has been charged more than once, a precipitation-type negative electrode (400') may include, for example, a current collector (401), a lithium metal layer (404) positioned on the current collector, and a negative electrode coating layer (405) positioned on the metal layer. The lithium metal layer (404) is a layer containing lithium, and refers to a layer in which lithium metal or the like is precipitated during the charging process of the battery, and may be referred to as a metal layer, a lithium layer, a lithium deposition layer, or a negative electrode active material layer.

[0144] The cathode coating layer (405) may be referred to as a lithium electrodeposition induction layer or a cathode catalyst layer, and may include a metal, a carbon material, or a combination thereof.

[0145] The metal may be a lithium-philic metal, and may include, for example, gold, platinum, palladium, silicon, silver, aluminum, bismuth, tin, zinc, or a combination thereof, and may be composed of one type of these or may be composed of several types of alloys. When the metal is present in the form of particles, the average particle diameter (D50) thereof may be about 4 μm or less, and may be, for example, 10 nm to 4 μm, 10 nm to 1 μm, or 10 nm to 600 nm.

[0146] The carbon material may be, for example, crystalline carbon, amorphous carbon, or a combination thereof. The crystalline carbon may be, for example, natural graphite, artificial graphite, mesophase carbon microbeads, or a combination thereof. The amorphous carbon may be, for example, carbon black, activated carbon, acetylene black, Denka black, Ketjen black, or a combination thereof. For example, the carbon material may refer to amorphous carbon.

[0147] When the negative electrode coating layer (405) includes both a lithium-philic metal and a carbon material, the mixing ratio of the lithium-philic metal and the carbon material may be, for example, a weight ratio of 1:10 to 2:1. In this case, the precipitation of lithium metal can be effectively promoted and the characteristics of the all-solid-state secondary battery can be improved. The negative electrode coating layer (405) may include, for example, a carbon material supported with a catalytic metal, or may include a mixture of metal particles and carbon material particles.

[0148] The cathode coating layer (405) may include, for example, the above-described lithium-philic metal and amorphous carbon, in which case the precipitation of the lithium metal can be effectively promoted. As a specific example, the cathode coating layer (405) may include a composite in which a lithium-philic metal is supported on amorphous carbon.

[0149] The cathode coating layer (405) may further include a binder, which may be, for example, a conductive binder. In addition, the cathode coating layer (405) may further include general additives such as fillers, dispersants, and ionic conductive agents.

[0150] The thickness of the cathode coating layer (405) may be, for example, 100 nm to 20 μm, or 500 nm to 10 μm, or 1 μm to 5 μm.

[0151] The precipitation-type negative electrode (400') may further include, for example, a thin film on the surface of the current collector, i.e., between the current collector and the negative electrode coating layer. The thin film may include an element capable of forming an alloy with lithium. The element capable of forming an alloy with lithium may be, for example, gold, silver, zinc, tin, indium, silicon, aluminum, bismuth, etc., and may be composed of one type thereof or may be composed of multiple types of alloys. The thin film may further planarize the precipitation pattern of the lithium metal layer (404) and further improve the characteristics of the all-solid-state secondary battery. The thin film may be formed by, for example, a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, a plating method, etc. The thickness of the thin film may be, for example, 1 nm to 500 nm.

[0152] The lithium metal layer (404) may include lithium metal or a lithium alloy. The lithium alloy may be, for example, a Li-Al alloy, a Li-Sn alloy, a Li-In alloy, a Li-Ag alloy, a Li-Au alloy, a Li-Zn alloy, a Li-Ge alloy, or a Li-Si alloy.

[0153] The thickness of the lithium metal layer (404) may be 1 μm to 500 μm, 1 μm to 200 μm, 1 μm to 100 μm, or 1 μm to 50 μm. If the thickness of the lithium metal layer (404) is too thin, it may be difficult to perform the role of a lithium storage, and if it is too thick, the battery volume may increase and performance may deteriorate.

[0154] When such a precipitation-type cathode is applied, the cathode coating layer (405) can play a role in protecting the lithium metal layer (404) and suppressing the precipitation growth of lithium deadlight. Accordingly, short-circuiting and capacity reduction of the all-solid-state battery can be suppressed, and the life characteristics can be improved.

[0155] The above-mentioned all-solid-state secondary battery may be a unit cell having a structure of positive electrode / solid electrolyte layer / negative electrode, a bi-cell having a structure of negative electrode / solid electrolyte layer / positive electrode / solid electrolyte layer / negative electrode, or a laminated battery in which the structure of the unit cell is repeated.

[0156] The shape of the above-mentioned all-solid-state secondary battery is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, coin-shaped, button-shaped, sheet-shaped, stacked, cylindrical, flat, etc. In addition, the above-mentioned all-solid-state secondary battery can be applied to large-sized batteries used in electric vehicles, etc. For example, the above-mentioned all-solid-state secondary battery can be used in hybrid vehicles such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). In addition, it can be used in fields requiring a large amount of power storage, and for example, it can be used in electric bicycles or power tools, etc. In addition, the above-mentioned all-solid-state secondary battery can be used in various fields such as portable electronic devices.

[0157] Hereinafter, examples and comparative examples of the present invention are described. The following examples are merely examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0158] Example 1

[0159] 1. Preparation of solid electrolyte

[0160] In a glove box with an Ar atmosphere, a precursor mixture was obtained by mixing lithium precursor Li2S, copper precursor CuS, phosphorus precursor P2S5, oxygen precursor Li2O, nitrogen precursor Li3N, and halogen atom precursor LiCl. At this time, the content of each precursor was Li 5.470 Cu 0.030 PS 4.230 O 0.1800 N 0.060 Cl 1.500 was stoichiometrically controlled to obtain .

[0161] The precursor mixture was placed in a planetary ball mill containing zirconia balls in an Ar atmosphere, ground and mixed at 100 rpm for 1 hour, and then ground and mixed at 800 rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a mixture. The obtained mixture was pressed under uniaxial pressure to produce pellets with a thickness of approximately 10 mm and a diameter of approximately 13 mm. The produced pellets were covered with gold foil, placed in a carbon crucible, and the carbon crucible was vacuum-sealed. The vacuum-sealed pellets were heated from room temperature to 450°C at a rate of 1.0°C / min using an electric furnace, heat-treated at 470°C for 12 hours, and then cooled to room temperature at 1.0°C / min to produce the final solid electrolyte.

[0162] 2. Manufacturing of solid electrolyte membranes

[0163] A slurry was prepared by adding the prepared solid electrolyte to a binder solution in which an acrylic binder (SX-A334, Zeon) was dissolved in an isobutyryl isobutyrate (IBIB) solvent and stirring the solution. The slurry contained 98.5 wt% of the solid electrolyte and 1.5 wt% of the binder. The slurry was applied onto a release PET film using a bar coater and dried at room temperature to prepare a solid electrolyte membrane.

[0167] Evaluation Example 1: Ionic Conductivity Evaluation

[0168] The solid electrolytes in pellet form manufactured in the examples and comparative examples were prepared as specimens. Indium electrodes with a thickness of 50 μm and a diameter of 13 mm were placed on both sides of the prepared specimens to prepare a symmetrical cell, and the impedance was measured using the two-probe method using an impedance analyzer (Material Mates 7260 impedance analyzer). The frequency range was set to 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz, the amplitude voltage was set to 10 mV, and the measurements were made at 25°C in an Ar atmosphere. The resistance value was obtained from the arc of the Nyquist plot for the impedance measurement results, and the ionic conductivity was calculated considering the area and thickness of the specimen, and the results are shown in Table 2 above.

[0169] Evaluation Example 2: Evaluation of H2S gas generation amount

[0170] The solid electrolytes in pellet form manufactured in the examples and comparative examples were prepared as specimens. The prepared specimens were placed in a sample holder, and N2 gas (PPMG101, Roscid Technologies) with a temperature controlled at -15℃ was injected into the sample holder for one hour, and the H2S concentration was detected using an air quality monitoring sensor (Aeroqual 500 series, Visitech Co., Korea). The H2S concentration generated through the reaction between the solid electrolyte and moisture was monitored in real time to obtain the maximum and saturation values, and the results are shown in Table 2 above. The method for measuring the amount of H2S generated can also be referred to the literature “Advanced Science, Volume 9, Issue 28, 2201648.”

[0171] Referring to Table 2 above, it can be seen that in the cases of Examples 1 to 10, while achieving high ionic conductivity of 1.0 mS / cm or more, the amount of hydrogen sulfide generation is reduced compared to the comparative examples, thereby further improving moisture stability. In particular, in the case of the solid electrolytes of Examples 1 to 5 in which the ratio of O / (S+O+N) is about 4 to 20% and the ratio of N / (S+O+N) is about 1.3%, the amount of hydrogen sulfide generation is reduced compared to the comparative examples, while the ionic conductivity satisfies 2.0 mS / cm or more, it can be seen that the moisture stability is improved while achieving high ionic conductivity.

[0172] Meanwhile, the solid electrolyte in which the N substitution ratio at the S site exceeded 4% produced a large amount of impurities, particularly the unreacted Li3N peak appeared, and an unknown phase was also formed. In addition, the solid electrolyte in which the O substitution ratio at the S site exceeded 20% also produced a large amount of impurities, particularly the Li3PO4 peak appeared, and an unknown phase was also formed. When the N substitution ratio exceeded 4% or the O substitution ratio exceeded 20%, it was impossible to synthesize an argyrodite-type solid electrolyte without impurities.
