Abstract
Description
Application of dual ion conductor compounds in improving the stability of interfacial layers in energy storage devices Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of energy storage technology. Specifically, the present invention relates to the use of a dual ion conductor in improving the stability of the mechanical structure of the interface layer between the negative electrode and the electrolyte in an energy storage device. Background Art
[0002] Solid-state batteries, as a new energy storage technology, are attracting widespread attention due to their potential to meet the high safety, high specific energy, and long life requirements of chemical power sources. However, solid-state batteries still face several key challenges before achieving large-scale application.
[0003] During the assembly of solid-state batteries, since the interfaces within and between key materials are solid / solid rigid, poor contact and interfacial gaps exist between the layers of key materials. Furthermore, during battery cycling, the volume changes of high-energy-density electrode materials such as metallic lithium, silicon, and tin can cause a large number of pores to form within the negative electrode and at the interface between the negative electrode and the electrolyte, rapidly increasing the battery's internal impedance and ultimately leading to rapid battery failure. These interfacial pores can further induce uneven lithium deposition, accelerating the growth of lithium dendrites and severely impacting the cycle life of solid-state batteries.
[0004] The traditional approach is to pre-build a buffer layer at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte, but this does not solve the problem of a large number of cracks and pores formed inside the electrode due to the negative electrode volume effect during cycling. Alternatively, a three-dimensional skeleton structure is constructed for the negative electrode to accommodate the active material to buffer the volume change of the negative electrode, but this will significantly reduce the energy density of the battery. Therefore, a method that allows the battery to self-repair mechanical damage at the interface and within the electrode during cycling is of great significance for the practical application of solid-state batteries.
[0005] The prior art "Promoting favorable interfacial properties in lithium-based batteries using chlorine-rich sulfide inorganic solid-state electrolytes" discloses a lithium chloride-doped sulfide electrolyte Li 7-x PS 6-x Cl x(x=0.6 or 1.3). Figure 9 of the prior art shows that after the battery has been cycled for 200 hours, a layer of LiCl-rich interface is accumulated on the negative electrode interface, and the original electrolyte becomes loose and porous. Those skilled in the art can know from Figure 9 of the prior art that the movement speed of chloride ions during the battery cycle is slow, and they cannot return to the electrolyte, but can only gradually accumulate at the interface. Therefore, this cannot adapt to the high volume effect of the negative electrode during a cycle of charge and discharge of the battery. The prior art discloses that the battery in Figure 6 can only be used at a low surface capacity (<0.5mAh cm) under a high stacking pressure (6MPa). -2 ) for 30 cycles. In addition, the prior art states that the electrolyte needs to be cold pressed into a sheet and then annealed at 500°C for 12 hours, which is a harsh preparation condition.
[0006] CN 109728342 B discloses a polymer-based solid-state battery self-repair method that uses an inorganic solid electrolyte and a self-repairing polymer to achieve the polymer's self-repair function for solid-state batteries. This patent addresses the issue of solid-solid contact between key materials during solid-state battery assembly. However, this method requires the addition of more than 50% polymer. This large amount of polymer addition affects the electrolyte's ionic conductivity and is unable to effectively repair pores and cracks within the electrode during battery cycling.
[0007] CN 112687971 A discloses a self-repairing functional interface layer for solid-state batteries. This layer uses a self-repairing polymer, an inorganic solid electrolyte, a lithium salt, and an ether composite. The polymer utilizes intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds to achieve self-repair of the electrolyte. However, this method cannot effectively repair pores and cracks within the electrode during battery cycling.
[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an electrochemically driven self-repair technology to continuously repair the pores and cracks formed in the battery interface layer or inside the electrode during the cycle of solid-state batteries.
[0009] Summary of the Invention

After the temperature dropped to room temperature, the composite self-healing additive was quickly transferred to an argon-filled glove box for storage, resulting in a self-healing binder. The self-healing binder was then applied to the positive electrode.
[0062] Alternatively, a conductive agent precursor is mixed with a dual-ion conductor compound to obtain a mixture. The mixture is placed in a tube furnace and calcined at 700°C for 6 hours under argon gas to obtain a conductive agent with self-healing properties. The conductive agent with self-healing properties is then applied to the positive electrode. Preferably, the conductive agent precursor can be selected from at least one of a conductive polymer monomer, a sugar, asphalt, coke, an alkane gas, and an olefin gas. More preferably, the conductive agent precursor is selected from at least one of aniline monomer, sucrose, glucose, paraffin oil, methane, acetylene, and ethylene.
[0063] Furthermore, in the self-repairing additive of the dual ion conductor compound and the binder or conductive agent of the present invention, the mass fraction of the dual ion conductor compound is greater than 50%, preferably greater than 80%.
[0064] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0065] The dual-ion conductor compound provided by the present invention can be applied to solid-state batteries with currently common polymer, chloride or sulfide electrolyte systems. During the battery cycle, the halogen anions of the dual-ion conductor move back and forth under the drive of the electric field, thereby forming a dynamic adaptive interface layer of halide between the negative electrode and the electrolyte, naturally adjusting the morphology of the interface layer and adaptively repairing the cracks and pores caused by the volume effect of the negative electrode, so as to ensure close solid-solid contact between the negative electrode and the solid electrolyte during the stripping / electroplating process. At the same time, the interface layer formed by self-repair can also inhibit the growth of dendrites of the metal lithium negative electrode, improve the cycle life of the solid-state battery, and achieve stable circulation under zero stacking pressure.

[0138] The AC impedance spectra of battery d1 in Example 3 and battery f1 in Comparative Example 1, both in their original state and after 20 and 50 cycles, are shown in Figures 1A and 1B. Cross-sectional electron micrographs of f1, d1, and d7 after 50 cycles are shown in Figures 2, 3, and 5, respectively. Electron micrographs of the LiI particles in the electrolyte of d7, both in their original state and after 50 cycles, and the corresponding energy-dispersive X-ray spectra are shown in Figure 4. The in situ X-ray photoelectron spectra at the negative electrode interface of d1 during charge and discharge are shown in Figure 6.
[0139] Figure 1B shows a rapid increase in impedance for f1, while Figure 1A shows only a slight increase in impedance for d1. Figure 2 shows that without the addition of the self-healing dual-ion conductor component, numerous pores and cracks appeared at the lithium anode-electrolyte interface after cycling. The lithium anode and electrolyte interface were largely separated and no longer in contact. This also explains the excessive impedance after cycling f1.
[0140] Figure 3 shows the use of dual ion conductor Li 3.2 PS4I 0.2 As an electrolyte, after 50 cycles of d1, an adaptive interface layer is formed between the lithium negative electrode and the electrolyte, maintaining the interface conformity. Compared with Figure 2, the dual ion conductor Li3.2 PS4I 0.2 The self-healing function of the interface solves the problem of the lithium negative electrode losing contact with the electrolyte after charge and discharge cycles.
[0141] Figure 4 shows that after simply mixing 5% by mass of LiI in the Li6PS5Cl electrolyte, the LiI particles in the electrolyte decrease during the cycle. Figure 5 shows that a self-healing layer also appears between the lithium anode and the electrolyte.
[0142] Combined with Figure 3, it can be seen that LiI with self-healing function and sulfide electrolyte can achieve its self-healing function whether through doping or simple mixing.
[0143] Figure 7 shows that the signals of iodine (I3d, I4d) and lithium (Li1s) are enhanced during the discharge process, but the signal of phosphorus (P2p) does not appear, indicating that a LiI layer is formed at the negative electrode interface.
[0144] The cross-sectional electron micrographs of the battery d1 of Example 3 after the first discharge and charge and the corresponding energy dispersive X-ray spectra are shown in FIG6 .
[0145] Figure 6 shows that after the first discharge, a self-repairing layer of about 2.6 μm thick is formed between the lithium negative electrode and the electrolyte. After charging, the thickness of the self-repairing layer decreases to about 1.6 μm, indicating that the LiI self-repairing layer can migrate back and forth between the interface and the electrolyte during the charge and discharge process.
[0146] The cycle capacity retention and coulombic efficiency of the battery d1 of Example 3 are shown in Figure 8. The all-solid-state lithium metal soft pack battery assembled and prepared according to the scheme d1 and its cycle capacity retention are shown in Figure 9.
[0147] Figure 8 shows that after 2400 charge and discharge cycles, the capacity retention rate of the d1 battery is as high as 90.7%, and the coulombic efficiency is stably maintained at 99.9%.
[0148] Figure 9 shows that after the all-solid-state lithium metal soft-pack battery assembled and prepared according to the scheme d1 was cycled twice under an additional stacking pressure of 20 MPa, the stacking pressure was released and the capacity of the soft-pack battery remained at 95% during stable cycling, achieving stable cycling of the zero-pressure all-solid-state lithium metal soft-pack battery.
[0149] The battery d10 of Example 3 and the battery f7 of Comparative Example 1 were 2.5 mAh cm -2 Comparison of cycling data at surface capacity and f7 at 5 mAh cm -2 The cycling data under the surface capacity are shown in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows that compared with the battery f7 with Li3PS4 as the electrolyte, the polarization overpotential increases rapidly in the first 400 hours of the cycle, which leads to battery failure. 3.2 PS4I0.2 The polarization overpotential of the battery d10 as the electrolyte remains stable after 2400 hours of cycling. -2 The d10 of the present invention can also stably circulate for more than 2000 hours.
[0150] The large-scale cross-sectional electron micrographs of the battery d5 in Example 3 in its original state and after 50 cycles are shown in FIG11 , and the energy dispersive X-ray spectrum at its interface is shown in FIG12 .
[0151] Figure 11 shows that before cycling, there are pores at the interface between the LiI layer and the electrolyte due to solid-solid contact problems. After 50 cycles, the LiI layer is in close contact with the electrolyte, and the pores and cracks disappear.
[0152] Figure 12 shows that after 50 cycles, iodine is distributed throughout the region extending approximately 5 microns from the interface to the electrolyte layer. Combining Figures 11 and 6, it can be seen that during the charge and discharge process, the LiI self-healing layer can migrate back and forth between the interface layer and the electrolyte, adapting to the volume effect of the lithium anode, maintaining a conformal interface, and thus preventing contact failure between the anode and electrolyte.
