[0001] Related applications
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application number CN202410175721X, filed on February 7, 2024, entitled “Positive electrode sheet, all-solid-state battery, electrical device and preparation method,” the entire text of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present application relates to the field of solid-state battery technology, further to the field of all-solid-state battery technology, and further to a positive electrode plate, a solid-state battery, an electrical device and a preparation method, wherein the solid-state battery further relates to an all-solid-state battery. Background Art
[0004] The statements herein merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0005] Solid-state batteries use non-flammable solid electrolytes instead of the organic electrolytes found in traditional liquid secondary batteries, significantly improving battery safety and being considered the next generation of batteries closest to industrialization. All-solid-state batteries are batteries that use solid electrodes and solid electrolytes. These batteries use solid electrolytes instead of the liquid electrolytes found in traditional batteries, and the solid electrolyte also serves to separate the positive and negative electrodes, eliminating the need for a separator. Their advantages in safety and energy density have garnered widespread attention in recent years. Among solid electrolytes, sulfide electrolytes have attracted considerable attention due to their excellent ion conductivity. However, sulfide electrolytes are poorly air-stable and sensitive to moisture in the air. They readily absorb moisture and react, producing toxic hydrogen sulfide gas, which affects the battery's electrochemical performance, thus limiting their application.
[0006] Summary of the Invention
[0007] According to various embodiments and examples of the present application, a positive electrode plate, a solid-state battery, an electrical device, a preparation method, and applications are provided. The solid-state battery further relates to an all-solid-state battery. The positive electrode plate has a positive electrode stabilizer disposed in the blank area of the overhang design, which significantly improves air stability. This structural design can also significantly inhibit the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0008] In a first aspect of the present application, a positive electrode plate is provided, which includes a positive electrode current collector and an active film layer located on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, the active film layer including a positive electrode active area and a filling area located at least a portion of the periphery of the positive electrode active area; wherein the positive electrode active area includes positive electrode active particles and a sulfide solid electrolyte; and the filling area includes a positive electrode stabilizer.
[0009] In some embodiments, the cathode stabilizer includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber.
[0010] In some embodiments, a positive electrode sheet is provided, comprising a positive electrode current collector and an active film layer located on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, wherein the thickness direction of the active film layer is recorded as a longitudinal direction, and the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is recorded as a transverse direction;
[0011] In the transverse direction, the active membrane layer includes a positive electrode active area and a filling area located at least partially around the positive electrode active area;
[0012] The positive electrode active area includes positive electrode active particles and a positive electrode solid electrolyte, and the positive electrode solid electrolyte includes a sulfide solid electrolyte; the filling area includes a positive electrode stabilizer, and the positive electrode stabilizer includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber.
[0013] For existing solid-state batteries (which may be all-solid-state batteries) that employ an overhang structure, the width of the positive electrode active material layer in the positive electrode layer is smaller than the width of the negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode layer. The positive electrode plate provided in the first aspect of the present application has a corresponding blank area on the positive electrode side filled with a stabilizer (referred to as a positive electrode stabilizer) that is beneficial for improving the air stability of the positive electrode material. The positive electrode stabilizer includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber. During the preparation of the positive electrode sheet and the assembly of the battery, on the one hand, the filling area can play a certain role in physically isolating moisture in the air from the positive electrode active area; on the other hand, the moisture absorber can reduce or avoid the contact probability between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture, effectively reduce or delay the possibility of the sulfide solid electrolyte reacting with moisture in the air during the positive electrode sheet manufacturing process, inhibit the reaction between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture in the air from the source, and reduce or avoid the generation and escape of toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. In addition, the moisture absorber can also improve the material stability in the positive electrode active area, reduce or avoid the adverse effects of moisture in the air on moisture-sensitive materials in the positive electrode active area, promote the sulfide solid electrolyte to more stably and more effectively perform its rapid ion conduction function, inhibit the increase in interfacial impedance within the positive electrode sheet, give full play to the capacity of the positive electrode active material and the ion conduction ability of the sulfide solid electrolyte, and thus help improve the cycle performance of the assembled solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery); on the other hand, the hydrogen sulfide absorber can absorb the toxic hydrogen sulfide gas generated by the reaction of the sulfide electrolyte with possible contact moisture, reducing or avoiding the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0014] In addition, by inhibiting the formation of hydrogen sulfide gas in the sulfide solid electrolyte, the formation of inert by-products in the sulfide solid electrolyte can also be reduced, which can inhibit the increase in impedance and thus improve the rate performance of the battery.
[0015] In addition, the positive electrode sheet can also be used in conjunction with a negative electrode sheet of the same size in the transverse direction, which helps to prevent the positive electrode sheet from shearing the negative electrode sheet during high-voltage processing, thereby helping to prevent the negative electrode sheet from breaking or falling off.
[0016] In some embodiments, the positive electrode stabilizer satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0017] The weight proportion of the positive electrode stabilizer in the filling area is 30wt% to 99.5wt%, and can be optionally 45wt% to 98wt%;
[0018] In the filling area, the mass ratio of the moisture absorbent to the hydrogen sulfide absorbent is 0 to 1, and can be optionally 1:9 to 9:1;
[0019] The weight proportion of the moisture absorbent in the filling area is 0wt% to 99.5wt%, optionally 10wt% to 90wt%, and further optionally 40wt% to 60wt%;
[0020] The weight proportion of the hydrogen sulfide absorbent in the filling area is 0 wt% to 99.5 wt%, optionally 10 wt% to 90 wt%, and further optionally 40 wt% to 60 wt%.
[0021] By adjusting the weight ratio of the positive electrode stabilizer in the filling area (R0 M ), the mass ratio of moisture absorbent and hydrogen sulfide absorbent in the filling area (R H2O / H2S ), the weight ratio of moisture absorbent in the filling area (R1 H2O ) and the weight ratio of hydrogen sulfide absorbent in the filling area (R1 H2S ) can adjust the content of the positive electrode stabilizer in the positive electrode sheet, so as to better play the role of reducing or avoiding the contact probability between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture and thus reducing or avoiding the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0022] By controlling R1 H2O Within the aforementioned range, the content of the moisture absorber in the positive electrode plate can be adjusted, which is not only conducive to better reducing or avoiding the probability of contact between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture, reducing or avoiding the generation and escape of hydrogen sulfide gas, but also conducive to better enhancing the material stability of the positive electrode active area, promoting the sulfide solid electrolyte to more effectively and stably perform fast ion conduction, and is more conducive to improving the electrochemical properties of the solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery) assembled secondary using the positive electrode plate, such as achieving better cycle performance.

[0032] The type of at least one of the moisture absorber and the hydrogen sulfide absorber can be flexibly selected to better reduce or prevent hydrogen sulfide gas leakage. By flexibly selecting the moisture absorber, the probability of contact between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture can be further reduced or prevented, thereby reducing or preventing hydrogen sulfide gas leakage, promoting more stable and effective functioning of the sulfide solid electrolyte, and further improving the battery's cycling performance.
[0033] In some embodiments, the positive electrode stabilizer includes a dual absorber, which refers to a substance that serves as both the moisture absorber and the hydrogen sulfide absorber.
[0034] The dual absorbent includes one or more of a dual physical absorbent and a dual chemical absorbent; the dual physical absorbent refers to a substance that absorbs water and hydrogen sulfide simultaneously based on physical action, and the dual chemical absorbent refers to a substance that absorbs water and hydrogen sulfide simultaneously based on chemical action.
[0035] In some embodiments, the positive electrode stabilizer satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:

[0037] The positive electrode stabilizer includes the dual chemical absorber, and the dual chemical absorber includes one or more of ZnO and CuO.
[0038] When the positive electrode stabilizer includes a dual absorber, it can simultaneously play the role of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber, which is beneficial to more effectively reduce or avoid hydrogen sulfide escape, and improve the material and performance stabilizer of the positive electrode active area, thereby better improving the cycle performance of the battery.
[0039] In some embodiments, the positive electrode stabilizer includes the dual chemical absorbent and the dual physical absorbent, and the dual physical absorbent includes one or more of activated carbon and molecular sieve.

[0045] In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the first binder in the filling area is 0.5 wt % to 5 wt %, and can be optionally 2 wt % to 4 wt %.
[0046] By providing a binder in the filling area, the cohesive force between the various filling components in the filling area can be enhanced, thereby stabilizing the filling state of components such as the positive electrode stabilizer, and allowing the filling area to function more consistently and stably. Furthermore, by regulating the weight percentage of the binder in the filling area within the aforementioned range, it is further beneficial to fully utilize the aforementioned functions of the binder while also fully and persistently utilizing the functions of other components such as the positive electrode stabilizer.
[0047] In some embodiments, the filling region includes the first binder, and the positive electrode active region includes a second binder; the first binder and the second binder are of the same type.
[0048] When the filling area and the positive electrode active area use the same type of binder, it is beneficial to improve the adhesion strength of the filling area on the positive electrode current collector.

[0053] In the filling region, a mass ratio of the insulating material to the positive electrode stabilizer is less than or equal to 2, and may be selected from 0.5 to 1.
[0054] By placing insulating material in the filling area, on the one hand, the risk of internal short circuits can be better avoided, and on the other hand, the distribution concentration of the positive electrode stabilizer can be adjusted, which can help adjust the content of the positive electrode stabilizer in the filling area. The type of insulating material can be flexibly selected accordingly.
[0055] By adjusting one or both of the parameters of "weight proportion of insulating material in the filling area" and "mass ratio of insulating material to positive electrode stabilizer in the filling area" within the above range, it is beneficial to better avoid the risk of internal short circuit while flexibly setting an appropriate content of positive electrode stabilizer in the filling area.

[0062] The lithium oxygen compound accounts for 0.1 wt % to 2 wt % of the positive electrode active particles.
[0063] By setting a coating layer on the surface of the positive electrode active body, it is beneficial to maintain a certain ion conductivity while physically isolating the positive electrode active body from the sulfide solid electrolyte. It can inhibit the side reactions caused by space charge when the positive electrode active body and the sulfide solid electrolyte are in contact, inhibit the decomposition of the sulfide solid electrolyte, reduce the interface impedance, and help the positive electrode active body to fully exert its capacity, and is more conducive to improving the battery cycle performance.
[0064] By adjusting the "weight proportion of the lithium oxide compound in the positive electrode active particles" within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to achieve a higher energy density while fully exerting the improvement effect of the coating layer.

[0068] When a filling area is provided, the selection of a sulfide solid electrolyte does not have to be limited by the strength of its hygroscopicity. The type of sulfide solid electrolyte can be selected more flexibly based on the needs of one or more aspects such as ion conductivity, electrochemical window range, conductivity, particle size, etc.
[0069] In some embodiments, the positive electrode stabilizer includes a moisture absorber, and the positive electrode solid electrolyte further includes a halide solid electrolyte;
[0070] Optionally, the halide solid electrolyte includes lithium, halogen and X element, wherein the X element includes one or more of Y, In, Zr, Sc, Ho, Mn, Cd and Pb, and the halogen includes one or more of Cl, Br and I.

[0072] When the positive electrode solid electrolyte also includes a halide solid electrolyte that is easy to physically absorb water, the positive electrode active material layer may face a more serious water absorption problem, and the water absorption caused by the halide solid electrolyte will further aggravate the instability of the sulfide solid electrolyte. At this time, by adopting the positive electrode plate structure design of the first aspect of the present application and providing a moisture absorber in the positive electrode stabilizer, a more significant improvement in the air stability of the positive electrode plate can be achieved. The moisture absorber can significantly reduce or avoid the absorption of water by the positive electrode active area, reduce or avoid the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas, and can more significantly improve the material stability and performance stability of the positive electrode active area (including the sulfide solid electrolyte), which is more conducive to improving the electrochemical performance of the assembled solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery), for example, the cycle performance of the battery can be better improved.
[0073] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active area has a first side surface and a second side surface that are opposite to each other, and the first side surface and the second side surface respectively intersect with the transverse direction;
[0074] The filling areas are respectively arranged on outer sides of opposite areas of the first side surface and the second side surface.
[0075] By setting filling areas on both lateral sides of the positive electrode active area, it is beneficial to better isolate the positive electrode active area from the contact with moisture in the air when assembling a solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery), thereby reducing or avoiding the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0076] In some embodiments, the first side surface and the second side surface are completely covered by the filling region.
[0077] When the filling area completely covers both sides of the positive electrode active area in the width direction, it is beneficial to better isolate the positive electrode active area from contact with moisture in the air when assembling the solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery), thereby reducing or avoiding the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0078] In some embodiments, in the lateral direction, the positive electrode active area is completely surrounded by the filling area.
[0079] When the filling area completely surrounds the positive electrode active area in the laterally direction, it is beneficial to better isolate the positive electrode active area from the contact with moisture in the air when assembling the solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery), thereby reducing or avoiding the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0080] In some embodiments, based on the projection area of the filling area in the transverse direction, the width of the filling area at different positions along the outside of the positive electrode active area is greater than or equal to 0.2 mm, and can be optionally 0.2 mm to 10 mm, and can further be optionally 0.5 mm to 10 mm.
[0081] By controlling the width of the filler region outside the positive electrode active area within a certain range, it is possible to reduce or prevent contact between the positive electrode active area and moisture in the air. Furthermore, by further selecting an appropriate range, a higher energy density can be achieved. Furthermore, this width setting effectively prevents internal short circuits caused by changes in the electrode volume during battery cycling and shearing of the overhang region during charge and discharge.
[0082] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of the filling area to the positive electrode active area is greater than or equal to 0.2%, optionally 0.2% to 20%, and further optionally 0.5% to 10%.
[0083] By regulating one or both of the mass ratio and volume ratio of the filling area in the positive electrode active area within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to reduce or avoid the contact between the positive electrode active area and moisture in the air. In addition, a higher energy density can be achieved at the same time by further selecting a suitable range.
[0084] In some embodiments, the active membrane layer has the same thickness at different lateral positions.
[0085] When the thickness of the active film layer at different lateral positions is equal, there is no height difference between the positive electrode active area and the filling area on the surface of the active film layer away from the positive electrode current collector. Therefore, when the positive electrode sheet is used in conjunction with the negative electrode sheet and subjected to high-pressure treatment, it is beneficial to avoid the positive electrode sheet shearing the negative electrode sheet, and to avoid the negative electrode sheet from breaking or falling off.
[0086] In a second aspect of the present application, a solid-state battery is provided, comprising a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode layer stacked in sequence, wherein the positive electrode layer comprises the positive electrode sheet described in the first aspect of the present application.

[0089] In some embodiments, the positive electrode layer, the solid electrolyte layer, and the negative electrode layer have the same projection area along the longitudinal direction.
[0090] By setting the positive electrode layer, solid electrolyte layer and negative electrode layer to equal sizes in the horizontal direction and aligning them, so that the projection areas of the three along the longitudinal direction are consistent (at this time, the side surfaces of each structural layer are aligned), it is beneficial to reduce the breakage or powdering of the structural layer caused by interlayer shear during high-pressure treatment.

In addition, if minimum range values 1 and 2 are listed, and if maximum range values 3,4 and 5 are also listed, then the following scope can all be expected: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5. In the present application, unless otherwise specified, numerical range " ab " represents the abbreviation of any real number combination between a and b, wherein a and b are all real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0-5" indicates that all real numbers between "0-5" are listed herein, and "0-5" is merely an abbreviation for these numerical combinations. Furthermore, when a parameter is expressed as an integer ≥ 2, this is equivalent to listing the parameter as, for example, the integers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and so on. For example, when a parameter is expressed as an integer selected from "2-10", this is equivalent to listing the integers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
[0123] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "about" means within a reasonable range above or below the number. The fluctuation range may vary depending on the type and value of the number. For example, a range of ±10%, ±5%, ±2%, ±1%, etc. may be allowed. For example, taking "about 20°C" and its approximate value of ±1°C as an example, approximate values such as 19°C and 19.5°C within the approximate range of "about 20°C" should also be included in the range indicated by "about 20°C".
[0124] In this application, unless otherwise specified, reference to a "numerical value" includes the number itself and its reasonable approximations. The definition of the "numerical value" may apply to discrete numerical points as well as to the endpoints of a numerical range. In this application, whenever a numerical value or a numerical range is involved, unless otherwise specified, it should be understood that the numerical value covers its reasonable approximations, and the numerical range covers the reasonable approximations of the two endpoints. Those skilled in the art will understand that the acceptable fluctuation range of the relevant approximations can be included in the definition of the numerical value or the numerical range. In this application, unless otherwise specified, "N1" may be reasonably understood as "about N1", and "N1-N2" may be reasonably understood as "about N1 to about N2", wherein N1 and N2 are two unequal numerical values. For example, in some cases, due to one or more factors such as reasonable deviations allowed in the art, instrument control accuracy, etc., it is reasonable to include the approximate values within the approximate range into the range defined by the numerical range; for example, "the temperature is 20°C to 30°C" can be understood as "about 20°C to about 30°C"; further, taking the endpoint "20°C" and its approximate number is ±1°C as an example, the approximate values of 19°C, 19.5°C, etc. within the approximate range of "about 20°C" should also be included in the range indicated by 20°C to 30°C. As a non-limiting example, the percentage content "10%" can be reasonably understood as "about 10%". As another non-limiting example, the percentage content "2% to 10%" can be reasonably understood as "about 2% to about 10%". As another non-limiting example, the percentage content "0%" at least includes "none" and can also include the situation of "below the detection limit".

[0146] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "solid-state battery" provided in this application refers to a battery in which the electrolyte in the battery includes a solid electrolyte; generally, a solid-state battery includes a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode layer. During the charge and discharge process of the battery, active ions are embedded and released back and forth between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer. The solid electrolyte layer plays the role of conducting ions between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, and can also isolate the positive electrode layer from the negative electrode layer to prevent the positive and negative electrodes from short-circuiting. Therefore, the isolation membrane in the traditional lithium-ion battery can be omitted in the solid-state battery. The solid-state battery uses a non-flammable solid electrolyte to replace the organic electrolyte in the traditional liquid lithium-ion battery, which greatly improves the safety of the battery. In addition to improving safety, solid-state batteries can better adapt to high-energy-density positive and negative electrode materials and reduce the weight of the system, which is conducive to taking into account the improvement of energy density.
[0147] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "all-solid-state battery" provided in this application refers to a battery in which the electrolyte in the battery adopts a solid electrolyte; generally, the all-solid-state battery includes a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode layer. During the charge and discharge process of the battery, active ions are embedded and released back and forth between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer. The solid electrolyte layer plays the role of conducting ions between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, and can also isolate the positive electrode layer from the negative electrode layer to prevent the positive and negative electrodes from short-circuiting. Therefore, the isolation membrane used in traditional lithium-ion batteries can be omitted in the all-solid-state battery.
[0148] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "solid electrolyte" refers to an electrolyte material or substance that exists in a solid form during the storage and preparation of a solid-state battery, as well as during the operation of the solid-state battery. It is understood that the solid electrolyte exists in a solid form, including but not limited to, at room temperature.
[0149] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the electrode layer is a functional layer containing active materials, which can be a positive electrode layer or a negative electrode layer. The "active material" in the electrode layer refers to a substance that can reversibly embed and release active ions. Unless otherwise specified, "negative electrode active material" refers to a substance used in the negative electrode layer that can reversibly embed and release active ions; "positive electrode active material" refers to a substance used in the positive electrode layer that can reversibly release and embed active ions. When the solid-state battery or the all-solid-state battery is charged, the active ions are released from the positive electrode and embedded in the negative electrode through the solid electrolyte layer; and when the solid-state battery or the all-solid-state battery is discharged, the active ions are released from the negative electrode and embedded in the positive electrode. There is no special limitation on the active ions, and they are non-restrictive. The active ions in the solid-state battery can be lithium ions, in which case it corresponds to a lithium-ion solid-state battery; the active ions in the all-solid-state battery can be lithium ions, in which case it corresponds to a lithium-ion all-solid-state battery.
[0150] In this application, "electrode active material", "electrode active substance", "active material" and "active substance" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably; "positive electrode active substance" and "positive electrode active material" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably; "negative electrode active substance" and "negative electrode active material" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably. "Positive electrode active substance" and "positive electrode active material" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably; "negative electrode active substance" and "negative electrode active material" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably.
[0151] Regarding the positive electrode in solid-state batteries, for example, in all-solid-state batteries, a solid electrolyte is typically added to promote lithium ion conduction. Sulfide electrolytes have attracted considerable attention as solid electrolyte materials due to their excellent ion conductivity. However, sulfide electrolytes have poor air stability and are sensitive to moisture in the air. They easily absorb and react with moisture, producing toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. During the preparation of the positive electrode, exposure to moisture in the air is unavoidable. This air instability of the sulfide electrolyte can lead to the release of highly toxic hydrogen sulfide gas during the preparation and assembly of the positive electrode in all-solid-state batteries, hindering practical application and industrial production. Furthermore, the sulfide solid electrolyte decomposes after reacting with any moisture, impairing its ion conductivity and increasing the interfacial impedance between the positive electrode active particles and the solid electrolyte particles in the positive electrode, affecting the electrochemical performance of the assembled all-solid-state battery and impairing its cycling performance.
[0152] For example, the reaction between a sulfide solid electrolyte and water is as follows:
[0153] Existing research on the structure of all-solid-state batteries usually adopts the overhang structure design of traditional lithium-ion batteries. That is, based on the projection along the stacking direction of the various structural layers of the all-solid-state battery, the area of the positive electrode active material layer is made smaller than that of the negative electrode active material layer. When the electrode sheets are subjected to high pressure treatment, this size difference will cause the relatively smaller positive electrode sheet to shear the negative electrode sheet, which can easily cause the negative electrode sheet to break or lose powder.
[0154] In a first aspect of the present application, a positive electrode plate is provided, wherein a positive electrode stabilizer is provided in a positive electrode blank area of an overhang structure.
[0155] In some embodiments, a positive electrode plate is provided, which includes a positive electrode current collector and an active film layer located on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, the active film layer including a positive electrode active area and a filling area located at least a portion of the periphery of the positive electrode active area; wherein the positive electrode active area includes positive electrode active particles and a sulfide solid electrolyte; and the filling area includes a positive electrode stabilizer.
[0156] In some embodiments, the cathode stabilizer includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber.
[0157] In some embodiments, a positive electrode sheet is provided, wherein a positive electrode stabilizer is disposed in a positive electrode blank area of an overhang structure, and the positive electrode stabilizer includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber.
[0158] The positive electrode plate and solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery) provided in this application cleverly utilize the traditional overhang structural design, and fill the blank area of the positive electrode plate with a stabilizer that is beneficial to improving the air stability of the positive electrode material, so that the positive electrode plate has significantly improved air stability. This structural design can also significantly inhibit the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0159] In some embodiments, a positive electrode sheet is provided, comprising a positive electrode current collector and an active film layer located on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, wherein the thickness direction of the active film layer is referred to as a longitudinal direction, and the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is referred to as a transverse direction;
[0160] In the transverse direction, the active film layer includes a positive electrode active area and a filling area located at least partially around the positive electrode active area;
[0161] The positive electrode active area includes positive electrode active particles and a positive electrode solid electrolyte, and the positive electrode solid electrolyte includes a sulfide solid electrolyte; the filling area includes a positive electrode stabilizer, and the positive electrode stabilizer includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber.
[0162] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "thickness direction of the active film layer" is referred to as the longitudinal direction (see the Y direction in Figures 1-4), and the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is referred to as the transverse direction. Generally speaking, the thickness direction of the positive electrode sheet is consistent with the thickness direction of the active film layer and the thickness direction of the positive electrode active region.
[0163] In this application, unless otherwise specified, “positive electrode active particles” refer to particles containing positive electrode active materials, which have the ability to reversibly release and embed active ions.
[0164] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "positive electrode stabilizer" refers to an agent that can improve the air stability of the positive electrode material. Unless otherwise specified, the positive electrode stabilizer includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber. The positive electrode stabilizer may include only a moisture absorber, or only a hydrogen sulfide absorber, or may include both a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber. Regarding the "absorption" in the moisture absorber, it may be based on at least one of a physical effect and a chemical effect. As long as it can play the role of binding, fixing or eliminating moisture, it is within the meaning of the moisture absorber in this application. Regarding the "absorption" in the hydrogen sulfide absorber, it may be based on at least one of a physical effect and a chemical effect. As long as it can play the role of binding, fixing or eliminating hydrogen sulfide gas, it is within the meaning of the hydrogen sulfide absorber in this application. When the moisture absorber and the hydrogen sulfide absorber exist at the same time, they may be the same substance or different substances, that is, the positive electrode stabilizer is allowed to play the dual role of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber at the same time.
[0165] The positive electrode plate provided in the first aspect of the present application has a stabilizer (referred to as a positive electrode stabilizer) filled in the corresponding blank area on the positive electrode side, which is beneficial to improving the air stability of the positive electrode material. The positive electrode stabilizer includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber. In the process of preparing the positive electrode plate and assembling the battery, on the one hand, the filling area can play a certain role in physically isolating the moisture in the air from the positive electrode active area; on the other hand, the moisture absorber can reduce or avoid the contact probability between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture, effectively reduce or delay the possibility of the sulfide solid electrolyte reacting with moisture in the air during the positive electrode plate manufacturing process, inhibit the reaction between the sulfide electrolyte and moisture in the air from the source, reduce or avoid the generation and escape of hydrogen sulfide toxic gas, and in addition, the moisture absorber can also improve the material stability in the positive electrode active area, reduce or avoid moisture in the air. It has an adverse effect on moisture-sensitive materials in the positive electrode active area, promotes the sulfide solid electrolyte to play a more stable and effective role in rapid ion conduction, inhibits the increase in interfacial impedance in the positive electrode plate, and gives full play to the capacity of the positive electrode active material and the ion conduction ability of the sulfide solid electrolyte, which is beneficial to improve the electrochemical properties of the assembled solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery), for example, it can improve the cycle performance of the battery; on the other hand, the hydrogen sulfide absorber can absorb the toxic hydrogen sulfide gas generated by the reaction of the sulfide electrolyte with possible contact with moisture, thereby reducing or avoiding the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0166] In addition, by inhibiting the formation of hydrogen sulfide gas in the sulfide solid electrolyte, the formation of inert by-products in the sulfide solid electrolyte can also be reduced, which can inhibit the increase in impedance and thus improve the rate performance of the battery.
[0167] In addition, the positive electrode sheet can also be used in conjunction with a negative electrode sheet of the same size in the transverse direction, which helps to prevent the positive electrode sheet from shearing the negative electrode sheet during high-voltage processing, thereby helping to prevent the negative electrode sheet from breaking or falling off.
[0168] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the positive electrode plate sample can be obtained from a solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery) in the following manner: the battery can be disassembled to obtain the positive electrode active area sample and the filling area sample of the electrode plate, and the chemical composition in the positive electrode active area and the filling area can be further analyzed by the following method: the nano-spatial dynamic resolution and layer-by-layer cutting technology of FIB-SEM are used to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of the sample, and the EDS element energy spectrum analysis is used in combination to obtain the distribution and proportion of each element, and finally the composition and size and other parameters of each part of the structure of the positive electrode plate are obtained through software quantitative analysis.
[0169] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the types and contents of substances in the positive electrode active region (including but not limited to positive electrode active particles and positive electrode solid electrolyte) and substances in the filling region (including but not limited to positive electrode stabilizers) in the active film layer of the positive electrode plate can be detected by the following methods: The structure and composition analysis of the active film layer can be tested and analyzed by focused electron beam (FIB) technology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental analysis technology, for example, it can be obtained by combining cryo-focused electron beam (FIB) continuous sectioning, cross-sectional SEM morphology observation, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) elemental spectrum and three-dimensional reconstruction analysis software analysis. For example, a cryo-focused ion beam (FIB) is used to finely slice the sample layer by layer along the transverse direction at different thickness positions (the minimum scale can be nanometer-level thin slices), and separate different layers of samples at different thickness positions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) testing can also be used to analyze the morphology, structure and element distribution of each layer of the cross section under FIB continuous sectioning. Combined with three-dimensional structure reconstruction software, the three-dimensional structure of the sample can be reconstructed to estimate the mass and / or volume of different regions of the sample to be tested. As a non-limiting example, the above parameters may be tested and analyzed using a FEI Scios 2HiVac device.
[0170] In addition, the types and contents of the chemical components in the positive electrode active region and the filling region, including but not limited to the positive electrode stabilizer and the first binder described below, the insulating material, the positive electrode active particles, the positive electrode active body, the coating layer in the positive electrode active particles, etc., can also be tested and analyzed using other suitable methods among the chemical composition detection means, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), etc. Without limitation, the material components of the coating layers of different positive electrode active particles can be detected and analyzed using elemental analysis methods such as XRD and ICP, and the binder (first binder or second binder) can be analyzed using FT-IR and Raman methods. In addition, the area size of the filling region can be analyzed using methods such as SEM and FIB.
[0171] In this application, the weight ratio of the positive electrode stabilizer in the filling area can be recorded as R0 M The mass ratio of moisture absorbent to hydrogen sulfide absorbent in the filling area can be recorded as R H2O / H2S The weight ratio of the moisture absorbent in the filling area can be recorded as R1 H2O The weight ratio of hydrogen sulfide absorbent in the filling area can be recorded as R1 H2S For the positive electrode stabilizer that can play the dual role of moisture absorber and hydrogen sulfide absorber, calculate R H2O / H2S 、R1 H2O and R1 H2SWhen the same substance is used as a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber, the same substance can be counted repeatedly. For example, when the positive electrode stabilizer is only one substance and plays the dual role of moisture absorber and hydrogen sulfide absorber, then R H2O / H2S is 1, further when R0 M When it is 95wt%, R1 H2O and R1 H2S are all 95 wt %, refer to Examples 16-19, etc. When there is more than one positive electrode stabilizer, and all of them can play the dual role of moisture absorber and hydrogen sulfide absorber, similarly, R H2O / H2S is 1, and R0 M 、R1 H2O and R1 H2S The values are equal, please refer to Examples 27-28, etc.
[0172] In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the positive electrode stabilizer in the filling region (R0 M ) satisfies 0wt% <R0 M ≤99.5wt%, optionally 30wt% to 99.5wt%, further optionally 45wt% to 98wt%, further optionally 49wt% to 98wt%.

[0173] In some embodiments, in the filling area, the mass ratio of the moisture absorbent to the hydrogen sulfide absorbent (R H2O / H2S ) is 0-1, and can be optionally 1:9 to 9:1 (also equivalent to 1 / 9 to 9), and can also be any of the following mass ratios or an interval consisting of any two of the following mass ratios: 0, 0.05, 0.1, 1 / 9, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.33, 1 / 3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.75, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.05, 1.1, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.35, 1.4, 1.45, 1.5, 1.6, 1.75, 1.8, 2, 2.25, 2.4, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 3.6, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, etc.
[0174] In this application, "numerical ratios" may be described in the form of ratios, percentages, or numerical values unless otherwise specified. For example, "mass ratio is 9:1" and "mass ratio is 9" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably. For another example, "volume ratio is 0.1," "volume ratio is 1:10," and "volume ratio is 10%" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably.
[0175] In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the moisture absorbent in the filling area (R1 H2O ) is 0wt% to 99.5wt%, optionally 10wt% to 90wt%, further optionally 30wt% to 70wt%, and further optionally 40wt% to 60wt%.

In some embodiments, Me is selected from one or more elements of Si, Ge, Sn, and Al. In some embodiments, M is selected from one or more elements of Ge, Al, Sn, Pb, Sb, Si, and As.
[0233] When a filling area is provided, the selection of a sulfide solid electrolyte does not have to be limited by the strength of its hygroscopicity. The type of sulfide solid electrolyte can be selected more flexibly based on the needs of one or more aspects such as ion conductivity, electrochemical window range, conductivity, particle size, etc.
[0234] In some embodiments, the positive electrode stabilizer includes a moisture absorber, and the positive electrode solid electrolyte further includes a halide solid electrolyte. Without limitation, the halide solid electrolyte may include lithium, a halogen, and an X element, wherein the X element may include one or more of Y, In, Zr, Sc, Ho, Mn, Cd, Pd, etc., or may be selected from one or more of the aforementioned elements. Without limitation, the halogen may include one or more of Cl, Br, and I, or may be selected from one or more of the aforementioned elements. In some embodiments, the halogen is selected from one or both of Cl and Br, and may further be Cl or Br.
[0235] In some embodiments, the halide solid electrolyte may include Li3X 1 Cl6、LiX 1 I4、LiX 1 I3、Li3X 1 Br6 etc., optionally, X in the halide solid electrolyte 1 It may include one or more of Y, In, Zr, Sc, Ho, Mn, Cd, Pd, etc., and may also be selected from one or more of the aforementioned elements.
[0236] When the positive electrode solid electrolyte also includes a halide solid electrolyte that is easy to physically absorb water, the positive electrode active material layer may face a more serious water absorption problem, and the water absorption caused by the halide solid electrolyte will further aggravate the instability of the hydrogen sulfide solid electrolyte. At this time, by adopting the positive electrode plate structure design of the first aspect of the present application and providing a moisture absorber in the positive electrode stabilizer, a more significant improvement in the air stability of the positive electrode plate can be achieved. The moisture absorber can significantly reduce or avoid the absorption of water by the positive electrode active area, reduce or avoid the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas, and can more significantly improve the material stability and performance stability of the positive electrode active area (including the sulfide solid electrolyte), which is more conducive to improving the electrochemical performance of the assembled solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery), for example, it can better improve the cycle performance of the battery.
[0237] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active region has a first side surface and a second side surface that are opposite to each other, and the first side surface and the second side surface respectively intersect with the transverse direction;
[0238] Filling areas are respectively provided on the outer sides of the opposing areas of the first side surface and the second side surface;
[0239] An example of this can be seen in Figure 5. In Figure 5, for example, along the width direction X1 of the positive electrode active area, the positive electrode active area is provided with filler regions on both sides; along the length direction X2 of the positive electrode active area, the positive electrode active area is not provided with filler regions on both sides. Taking a wound structure as an example, the X2 direction can correspond to the winding direction when assembling a solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery). In this case, the lengthwise sides of the positive electrode active area of a single layer can be free from air.
[0240] By setting filling areas on both lateral sides of the positive electrode active area, it is beneficial to better isolate the positive electrode active area from the contact with moisture in the air when assembling a solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery), thereby reducing or avoiding the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0241] In some embodiments, a positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector 110 and an active membrane layer located on one side of the positive electrode current collector 110. The active membrane layer includes a positive electrode active region 120. The positive electrode active region 120 has a first side surface and a second side surface that are opposed to each other, and the first side surface and the second side surface intersect with the transverse direction. A filling region 130 is provided outside the opposing regions of the first side surface and the second side surface. The positive electrode active region 120 includes positive electrode active particles 121 and a positive electrode solid electrolyte 122, and the filling region 130 includes a positive electrode stabilizer 131. An example of this can be seen in Figure 1. In Figure 1, the first side surface and the second side surface are illustratively perpendicular to the transverse direction, that is, parallel to the longitudinal direction Y. The positive electrode solid electrolyte includes a sulfide solid electrolyte; and the positive electrode stabilizer includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber.
[0242] In some embodiments, based on the positive electrode sheet shown in FIG1 , the filling region 130 further includes a first binder 132 , an example of which can be seen in FIG3 .
[0243] In some embodiments, based on the positive electrode sheet shown in FIG1 , the filling region 130 further includes a first binder 132 and an insulating material 133 , an example of which can be seen in FIG4 .
[0244] In some embodiments, a positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector 110 and active membrane layers located on both sides of the positive electrode current collector 110. The active membrane layers on either side independently include a positive electrode active region 120. The positive electrode active region 120 on either side independently has two opposing side surfaces, with the two side surfaces on one side being designated as a first side surface and a second side surface, and the two side surfaces on the other side being designated as a third side surface and a fourth side surface. The first side surface, the second side surface, the third side surface, and the fourth side surface intersect with a transverse direction, respectively. A filling region 130 is provided outside the opposing regions of the first and second side surfaces, respectively, and a filling region 130 is provided outside the opposing regions of the third and fourth side surfaces, respectively. An example of this is shown in FIG2 . In FIG2 , the first, second, third, and fourth side surfaces are illustratively perpendicular to the transverse direction, i.e., parallel to the longitudinal direction Y. The positive electrode active region includes positive electrode active particles and a positive electrode solid electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode solid electrolyte includes a sulfide solid electrolyte; the filling region includes a positive electrode stabilizer, which includes at least one of a moisture absorber and a hydrogen sulfide absorber.
[0245] In some embodiments, the first side and the second side are completely covered by the filling region.
[0246] When the filling area completely covers both sides of the positive electrode active area in the width direction, it is beneficial to better isolate the positive electrode active area from contact with moisture in the air when assembling the solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery), thereby reducing or avoiding the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0247] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active area is completely surrounded by the filling area in the transverse direction. An example of this is shown in FIG6 .
[0248] When the filling area completely surrounds the positive electrode active area in the laterally direction, it is beneficial to better isolate the positive electrode active area from the contact with moisture in the air when assembling the solid-state battery (the solid-state battery can be an all-solid-state battery), thereby reducing or avoiding the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas.
[0249] In some embodiments, based on the horizontal projection area of the filling area, the width of the filling area at different positions along the outside of the positive electrode active area is greater than or equal to 0.2 mm, and can be selected from 0.2 mm to 10 mm, further selected from 0.25 mm to 10 mm, and further selected from 0.5 mm to 10 mm. It can also be any of the following widths or an interval consisting of any two of the following widths: 0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm (corresponding to 1 cm), etc.
[0250] By controlling the width of the filler region outside the positive electrode active area within a certain range, it is possible to reduce or prevent contact between the positive electrode active area and moisture in the air. Furthermore, by further selecting an appropriate range, a higher energy density can be achieved. Furthermore, this width setting effectively prevents internal short circuits caused by changes in the electrode volume during battery cycling and shearing of the overhang region during charge and discharge.
[0251] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of the filling area relative to the positive electrode active area is greater than or equal to 0.2%, and can be optionally 0.2% to 20%, further optionally 0.5% to 10%, and further optionally 1% to 10%. It can also be any of the following percentages or an interval consisting of any two of the following percentages: 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 9%, 10%, etc., and can also be a suitable range among the following: 0.5% to 20%, 0.2% to 10%, 3% to 7%, etc.
[0252] By regulating one or both of the mass ratio and volume ratio of the filling area in the positive electrode active area within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to reduce or avoid the contact between the positive electrode active area and moisture in the air. In addition, a higher energy density can be achieved at the same time by further selecting a suitable range.
[0253] In some embodiments, the thickness of the active membrane layer is equal at different lateral locations.
[0254] When the thickness of the active film layer at different lateral positions is equal, there is no height difference between the positive electrode active area and the filling area on the surface of the active film layer away from the positive electrode current collector. Therefore, when the positive electrode sheet is used in conjunction with the negative electrode sheet and subjected to high-pressure treatment, it is beneficial to avoid the positive electrode sheet shearing the negative electrode sheet, and to avoid the negative electrode sheet from breaking or falling off.
[0255] Without limitation, the thickness of the active film layer, the positive electrode active area or the filling area on a single side of the positive electrode current collector can be 30μm to 200μm, optionally 60μm to 130μm, or any of the following thicknesses or an interval consisting of any two of the following thicknesses: 30μm, 40μm, 50μm, 60μm, 80μm, 100μm, 120μm, 130μm, 140μm, 150μm, 160μm, 180μm, 200μm, etc.; it can also be any of the following ranges: 40μm to 150μm, 40μm to 130μm, 40μm to 120μm, 50μm to 150μm, 50μm to 130μm, 50μm to 120μm, 60μm to 150μm, 60μm to 120μm, etc.
[0256] In a non-limiting manner, the weight percentage of the positive electrode active particles in the positive electrode active region may be ≥80 wt %, and further may be ≥90 wt %.
[0257] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active area includes a conductive agent (which may be referred to as a positive electrode conductive agent).

Non-limitingly, the positive electrode carbon conductive agent may include one or more of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon nanofibers. Non-limitingly, the weight percentage of the positive electrode conductive agent in the positive electrode active area may be 0 to 10 wt%, further 0 to 8 wt%, further 0 to 5 wt%, further 0.1 wt% to 3 wt%, based on the total weight of the positive electrode active area. The weight percentage of the positive electrode conductive agent in the positive electrode active area may also be 0.2 wt% to 5 wt%, 0.5 wt% to 5 wt%, 0.1 wt% to 3 wt%, and the like.
[0258] As a non-limiting example, the positive electrode current collector has two surfaces facing away from each other in its thickness direction, and the active film layer is disposed on either or both of the two facing surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.
[0259] In some embodiments, the positive electrode current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, aluminum foil may be used as the metal foil. In the positive electrode current collector, the composite current collector may include a polymer material base layer and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material base layer. In the positive electrode current collector, the composite current collector may be obtained by forming a metal material on a polymer material substrate. In the positive electrode current collector, non-limiting examples of the metal material may include at least one of aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver and silver alloy. In the positive electrode current collector, non-limiting examples of the polymer material substrate may include one or more of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.
[0260] The positive electrode sheet can be prepared by a dry process or a wet process. For example, a dry process can be used to press the positive electrode sheet into a film. Another example is a wet process that can be used to coat the positive electrode sheet into a film.
[0261] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active area can be compounded with the positive electrode current collector in the following manner: the components used to prepare the positive electrode active area, such as positive electrode active particles, positive electrode solid electrolyte, second binder, positive electrode conductive agent and other optional components are dry mixed, and then the mixed material is heated, pressurized and kneaded into a mass material, which is hot rolled to form a self-supporting positive electrode active sheet, and the self-supporting positive electrode active sheet is hot rolled to compound with the positive electrode current collector. The self-supporting positive electrode active sheet can be compounded on at least one side (one side or two sides) of the positive electrode current collector to obtain a substrate including the positive electrode active area. Non-limitingly, a double planetary mixer can be used for dry mixing. Non-limitingly, an internal mixer can be used for heating, pressurizing and kneading. Non-limitingly, the temperature for hot rolling can be 75°C to 85°C, and further such as 78°C, 80°C, 82°C, etc. The method of assembling solid-state batteries (solid-state batteries can be all-solid-state batteries) using positive electrode sheets can be suitable for industrial mass production.
[0262] In the present application, the width of the positive electrode active area (refer to the X1 direction) can be 50mm~500mm, but is not limited to this. For example, it can also be an interval consisting of any one or any two of the following widths: 50mm, 100mm, 200mm, 300mm, 400mm, 500mm, etc.
[0263] In some embodiments, a substrate including a positive electrode active region can be prepared by dispersing the components used to prepare the positive electrode active region, such as the positive electrode active particles, the positive electrode solid electrolyte, the second binder, the positive electrode conductive agent, and other optional components, in an organic solvent to form a positive electrode slurry. Furthermore, the positive electrode slurry is coated on at least one surface of a positive electrode current collector. After drying and cold pressing, the positive electrode active region is obtained, thereby obtaining a substrate including the positive electrode active region. The cold pressing can be performed using a cold rolling mill. The organic solvent in the positive electrode slurry can include one or two of p-xylene, trimethylbenzene, butyl butyrate, heptane, and can further include p-xylene. The positive electrode slurry can be coated on a single surface of the positive electrode current collector or on both surfaces of the positive electrode current collector. The solids content of the positive electrode slurry can be 40 wt% to 80 wt%. The viscosity of the positive electrode slurry at room temperature can be adjusted to 5000 mPa·s to 25000 mPa·s. The compaction density of the positive electrode can be 3.0g / cm 3 ~3.6g / cm 3 , optional 3.3g / cm 3 ~3.5g / cm 3 .
[0264] The term "compacted density" as used in this application has a well-known meaning in the art and is one of the reference indicators of material energy density. In this application, unless otherwise specified, the compacted density of an electrode plate refers to the ratio of the mass of the electrode active material layer to its volume. The compacted density of a positive electrode plate refers to the ratio of the mass of the positive electrode active area to its volume, and the compacted density of a negative electrode plate refers to the ratio of the mass of the negative electrode active material layer to its volume.
[0265] Without limitation, the material of the filling area can be set in the target area on the positive electrode current collector by coating. Without limitation, the positive electrode stabilizer, the first binder and optional other components (such as insulating materials) can be mixed with an organic solvent to form a stabilizer slurry, and then an appropriate amount of the stabilizer slurry is applied to the target area, and a filling area can be formed after drying and cold pressing, wherein the cold pressing can achieve densification. The solid content of the stabilizer slurry can be 40wt% to 80wt%. The type of organic solvent in the stabilizer slurry can include one or two of p-xylene, trimethylbenzene, butyl butyrate, heptane, etc., and can further be p-xylene.
[0266] In the present application, the cold pressing process for preparing the positive electrode active area and the cold pressing process for preparing the filling area can be implemented simultaneously using the same process: the structural layer formed by coating and drying the positive electrode slurry and the structural layer formed by coating and drying the stabilizer slurry can be cold pressed together, thereby obtaining the positive electrode active area and the filling area at the same time. At this time, the positive electrode active area and the filling area have high consistency in the thickness direction, and the surface of the active film layer in the positive electrode sheet is smoother as a whole.
[0267] Another aspect of the present application provides the use of the aforementioned positive electrode sheet in the preparation of a solid-state battery.
[0268] In a second aspect of the present application, a solid-state battery is provided, which includes a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode layer stacked in sequence, wherein the positive electrode layer includes the positive electrode sheet described in the first aspect of the present application.
[0269] In some embodiments, the solid-state battery is an all-solid-state battery.
[0270] In some embodiments, an all-solid-state battery is provided, comprising a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode layer stacked in sequence, wherein the positive electrode layer comprises the positive electrode sheet described in the first aspect of the present application.

[0275] In the present application, the all-solid-state battery includes an all-solid-state battery cell, and the all-solid-state battery cell includes the positive electrode sheet described in the first aspect of the present application.
[0276] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "all-solid-state battery cells" refer to basic units that can achieve mutual conversion between chemical energy and electrical energy, and whose components are all solid. In this case, the electrolyte in the battery is all solid electrolyte solid battery cells. In this case, the positive electrode layer, negative electrode layer and electrolyte are all made of solid materials, and the battery cell does not contain liquid electrolyte. Therefore, it can be called an "all-solid-state battery cell."
[0277] Without limitation, a solid-state battery cell (which may be an all-solid-state battery cell) may include a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode layer, wherein the solid electrolyte layer is located between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer. During the charge and discharge process of the battery, active ions are embedded and extracted back and forth between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer. The solid electrolyte layer acts as an ion conductor between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, and can also isolate the positive electrode layer from the negative electrode layer to prevent a short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes.
[0278] In some embodiments, the projection areas of the positive electrode layer, the solid electrolyte layer, and the negative electrode layer along the longitudinal direction are consistent.
[0279] By setting the positive electrode layer, solid electrolyte layer and negative electrode layer to equal sizes in the horizontal direction and aligning them, so that the projection areas of the three along the longitudinal direction are consistent (at this time, the side surfaces of each structural layer are aligned), it is beneficial to reduce the breakage or powdering of the structural layer caused by interlayer shear during high-pressure treatment.

The positive electrode active particles of Example 1 were prepared.
[0348] 1. Preparation Example
[0349] Example 1
[0350] (1) Prepare an adhesive solution containing an adhesive.
[0351] Paraxylene and nitrile rubber (NBR) were mixed to prepare glue, wherein the mass ratio of xylene to NBR was 95:5; the above solid and liquid raw materials were weighed and stirred at a speed of 1000 rpm at 25°C for 300 minutes to finally obtain a uniform adhesive glue solution.
[0352] In this example, NBR is used as both the first binder in the filling region and the second binder in the positive electrode active region.
[0353] (2) Prepare a positive electrode substrate including a positive electrode active area.
[0354] Li3BO3 coated positive electrode active material NCM811 (LiNi 0.8 Co0.1 Mn 0.1 O2) as the positive electrode active particles, the weight proportion of the Li3BO3 coating layer in the positive electrode active particles is 0.2wt%; Li6PS5Cl is used as the positive electrode solid electrolyte, vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF) is used as the positive electrode conductive agent, and the binder glue prepared in step (1) is used to provide a second binder. The positive electrode active particles, the positive electrode solid electrolyte, the positive electrode conductive agent and the second binder are mixed in a mass ratio of 78:19:1:2 to obtain a mixed slurry; by adding xylene to the above mixed slurry, the slurry solid content is controlled to 60wt%, and a positive electrode slurry is obtained. The carbon-coated aluminum foil was coated on both sides by gap coating. The size of the positive electrode active area was 5cm×8.5cm, the coating gap was 1cm, the blank space on the ear side was 5cm, and the total blank space width of the position of the filling area to be prepared was 1cm (the volume ratio of the formed filling area to the positive electrode active area was 20%, the thickness and length of the filling area were the same as those of the positive electrode active area, and the volume ratio and width ratio were numerically equal). After the coating was completed, the coating was dried at a drying temperature of 120°C. After drying, a positive electrode substrate including the positive electrode active area was obtained. The compacted density of the positive electrode active area was 3.5g / cm 3 .

[0359] Since the coating gap of the positive active area of the positive electrode substrate is 1 cm during the preparation process, the stabilizer slurry can be applied to the gap of the positive active area, and the 5mm area outside the positive active area on the reserved ear side and the opposite side needs to be coated with the stabilizer slurry; after coating, it is dried at a temperature of 120°C. After drying, a positive electrode sheet including both the filling area and the positive active area is obtained; a customized knife die is used to die-cut the electrode sheet, and the lateral size of the active film layer corresponding to the knife die is 6cm×9.5cm.

The slurry was stirred at a speed of 1000 rpm at 25°C for 300 min to mix evenly, and finally a solid electrolyte slurry was obtained.
[0362] (6) Prepare the negative electrode sheet.
[0363] Take nano-silicon, graphite, VGCF and binder polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), use the binder glue prepared in step (1) as the binder, and mix them in solvent N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) at a mass ratio of 55:30:12:3. Use NMP to dissolve PVDF, stir and mix the binder glue with the materials of other components to form a slurry, and control the solid content of the slurry to 30wt% by adding NMP to the above mixed slurry. Mix the above materials to obtain a negative electrode slurry, and continuously coat the negative electrode slurry on both sides of the copper foil. The coating width of the electrode is 9.5cm. After coating, dry it at a drying temperature of 80℃. After drying, roll it and finally obtain a negative electrode. The compaction density of the negative electrode is 2.1g / cm 3 .
[0364] (7) Prepare a solid electrolyte-coated negative electrode sheet.
[0365] Solid electrolyte slurry is continuously coated on the negative electrode sheet, and then dried at 80°C. After drying, it is rolled to obtain a solid electrolyte-coated negative electrode sheet; a customized die is used to die-cut the electrolyte-coated negative electrode sheet, and the size of the negative electrode active material layer corresponding to the die is 6cm×9.5cm.
[0366] (8) Assemble to obtain an all-solid-state battery.
[0367] The die-cut pole pieces in steps (4) and (7) are aligned and packaged in a stacking manner. After packaging, they are subjected to warm isostatic pressing at 550 MPa and 90°C for 30 minutes.

[0409] 2. All-solid-state battery related parameter test
[0410] The testing process of some battery performance parameters of the all-solid-state batteries prepared in each embodiment and each comparative example is as follows.
[0411] 1. Test of battery open circuit voltage and internal resistance
[0412] The battery open circuit voltage test process is as follows: at 25°C, the all-solid-state battery to be tested is tested for voltage and internal resistance using a multimeter.
[0413] 2. Determination of sulfide generation in all-solid-state batteries
[0414] For all-solid-state battery samples that have been warm isostatically pressed but not subjected to tab welding and packaging operations, the samples were placed in a sealed bag in a glove box that was fully dried with Ar gas (dew point below -60°C). 3 The polyacrylic acid box is placed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber maintained at room temperature (25°C) and 30% RH in an atmospheric atmosphere until the environment inside the polyacrylic acid box is the same as that inside the constant temperature and humidity chamber. Then, the sealed bag containing the sample is opened in the constant temperature and humidity chamber, and the sample is quickly placed in the polyacrylic acid box. The hydrogen sulfide concentration generated immediately after the sample is placed in the polyacrylic acid box and within 300 seconds is measured using a hydrogen sulfide sensor (GX-2009 manufactured by Riken Keiki). The volume V (in cubic centimeters) of hydrogen sulfide at standard atmospheric pressure at 25°C is calculated from the hydrogen sulfide concentration after 300 seconds, and divided by the mass m (in g) of all sulfide electrolyte materials in the solid-state battery. The amount of hydrogen sulfide generated is calculated to be V / m, in cm 3 ·g -1 , which represents the volume of hydrogen sulfide gas per gram of sulfide solid electrolyte parameters.
[0415] 3. Battery capacity retention test
[0416] The battery capacity retention rate test process is as follows: at 25°C, the all-solid-state battery to be tested is charged to 4.3V at a constant current of 1 / 3C, then charged to a current of 0.05C at a constant voltage of 4.3V, left for 5 minutes, and then discharged to 2V at a constant voltage of 1 / 3C. The obtained capacity is recorded as the initial capacity C0. Repeat the above steps for the same battery and record the discharge capacity Cn of the battery after the nth cycle. The battery capacity retention rate after each cycle is Pn = Cn / C0 × 100%; the data measured after 100 cycles under the above test conditions, that is, the value of P100, can be recorded as the "capacity retention rate after 100 cycles".
[0417] 3. Test Analysis Results
[0418] The test results can be found in Tables 4 and 5.
[0419] Examples 1 to 37 all have a filling area containing a positive electrode stabilizer set in the positive electrode plate under the overhang design, and all have lower internal resistance, lower hydrogen sulfide generation and better cycle performance.
[0420] Comparative Examples 1 to 7 do not include a filling area for the positive electrode stabilizer. Among them, Comparative Example 1 does not adopt an overhang design, the overhang design of Comparative Example 2 leaves a blank area without filling material, Comparative Examples 3, 6-7 replace the positive electrode stabilizer with an insulating material, Comparative Example 4 replaces the positive electrode stabilizer with a first binder, and Comparative Example 5 replaces the positive electrode stabilizer with a water-stable solid electrolyte. The results show that the internal resistance of Comparative Examples 1 to 7 is significantly increased, the amount of hydrogen sulfide generated is significantly increased, and the cycle performance is deteriorated to a certain extent.
