[0026] Method for manufacturing cathode slurry
[0027] FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are flowcharts showing a method for manufacturing a cathode slurry for an all-solid-state battery according to embodiments of the present invention.
[0028] Referring to FIG. 1, a method for manufacturing a negative electrode slurry for an all-solid-state battery according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a step (S100) of mixing a binder solution containing a solvent and a first binder and a negative electrode material to manufacture a first mixture; a step (S200) of dispersing the first mixture to manufacture a dispersion; and a step (S300) of mixing a second binder into the dispersion to manufacture a second mixture.
[0029]
[0030] The above first mixture preparation step (S100) includes adding a binder solution to the negative electrode material.
[0031] The above binder solution may include a solvent and a first binder.
[0032] The solvent may be an aqueous solvent or a non-aqueous solvent. In one embodiment, the solvent may be water.
[0033] As used herein, "aqueous solvent" refers to solvents containing water as a main component. For example, the aqueous solvent may include water. In addition, the aqueous solvent may further include at least one selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and glycerol.
[0034] The first binder may include at least one binder selected from the group consisting of an acrylate binder, a polyvinylidene fluoride binder, a polyvinylpyrrolidone binder, a polyvinyl alcohol binder, and a cellulose binder. In one embodiment, the first binder may be an aqueous binder.
[0035] The above acrylate binder may be, for example, polyacrylic acid (PAA), polymethylmethacrylate, polyisobutylmethacrylate, polyethylacrylate, polybutyl acrylate, or poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate).
[0036] The above polyvinylidene fluoride-based binder is, for example, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene, polyvinylidene fluoride-co-trichloroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride-co-tetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride-co-trifluorochloroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene. It may be poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-ethylenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) or polyvinylidene fluoride-co-trichloroethylene.
[0037] The above polyvinylpyrrolidone-based binder may be, for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone.
[0038] The above polyvinyl alcohol-based binder may be, for example, polyvinyl alcohol.
[0039] The cellulosic binder may be, for example, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), methylcellulose (MC), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose (MHPC), ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (EHEC), methyl ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MEHEC), or cellulose gum. In one embodiment, the first binder may be carboxymethylcellulose (CMC).
[0040] The content of the first binder in the binder solution may be 0.5 wt% to 5 wt%. For example, the content of the first binder in the binder solution may be 0.5 wt% to 4 wt%, 0.8 wt% to 3.5 wt%, or 0.8 wt% to 3 wt%.
[0041] The viscosity of the above binder solution may be from 500 cps to 3000 cps. For example, it may be from 800 cps to 2500 cps, from 800 cps to 2300 cps, or from 1000 cps to 2000 cps.
[0042] The above negative electrode material may include carbon material and metal.
[0043] The carbon material may include at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon black, acetylene black, furnace black, carbon nanotubes, ketjen black, and graphene. In one embodiment, the carbon material may be carbon black.
[0044] The metal may include at least one selected from the group consisting of gold (Au), indium (In), germanium (Ge), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), silicon (Si), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), bismuth (Bi), tin (Sn), and zinc (Zn). In one embodiment, the metal may be silver (Ag).
[0045] The weight ratio of the carbon material and the metal may be 1.2 to 4:1. For example, the weight ratio of the carbon material and the metal may be 1.2:1, 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1. By having the above weight ratio of the carbon material and the metal, sufficient ionic conductivity can be secured, and the catalytic activity of the metal can be smoothly achieved, thereby securing excellent output characteristics and capacity of the battery. In one embodiment, the weight ratio of the carbon material and the metal may be 3:1.
[0046] The above cathode material may further include additives. For example, it may further include at least one selected from the group consisting of fillers, coating agents, dispersants, and ion-conducting aids.
[0047] The binder solution may be added so that the content of the first binder in the first mixture is 1 wt% to 10 wt%. If the content of the first binder in the first mixture is less than the above range, the dispersion effect of the negative electrode material particles may be reduced in the dispersion process described below. If the content of the first binder exceeds the above range, the first binder may be excessively adsorbed on the surface of the carbon or metal particles, thereby hindering the movement of lithium ions. This may increase the internal resistance of the battery.
[0048] The first mixture preparation step (S100) may further include adding the binder solution to the negative electrode material and then mixing. The mixing method of the negative electrode material and the binder solution is not limited. In one embodiment, the mixing may be performed by adding the binder solution to the negative electrode material and then stirring the mixture at 20°C to 60°C for 20 to 200 minutes using a planetary mixer.
[0049] The first mixture manufactured in the first mixture manufacturing step (S100) may be in the form of a slurry. The first mixture may have a viscosity of 1000 cps to 4000 cps. For example, the viscosity may be 1000 cps to 3500 cps, 1500 cps to 3000 cps, 1500 cps to 2500 cps, or 2000 cps to 2500 cps.
[0050] The solids content in the first mixture may be from 15 wt% to 45 wt%. For example, the solids content in the first mixture may be from 15 wt% to 40 wt%, from 15 wt% to 35 wt%, from 20 wt% to 35 wt%, or from 20 wt% to 30 wt%.
[0051] If the solid content in the first mixture is outside the above range, the solid content in the first mixture can be adjusted by adding a solvent in the concentration adjustment step (S110) described below. The solvent is the same as that described in the first mixture preparation step (S100). In one embodiment, the solvent may be an aqueous solvent. For example, the solvent may include water. The dispersion preparation step (S200) includes dispersing the first mixture.
[0052] The dispersion of the first mixture can be performed by a disperser. The type of the disperser is not limited as long as it can apply a shear force or an impact force to the first mixture. For example, the disperser can be a bead mill, a ball mill, a spike mill, a basket mill, an attrition mill, an ultrasonic disperser, or a high-pressure homogenizer. More specifically, the disperser can be a “disperser including a grinding media.” As used herein, a “disperser including a grinding media” is a device that includes a grinding media such as a ball or a bead therein, and a device that can grind and disperse particles by the grinding media applying a physical impact to the material. For example, the disperser including the grinding media may be selected from the group consisting of a bead mill, a ball mill, a spike mill, a basket mill and an attrition mill.
[0053] By using a “disperser including a grinding media”, it is possible to prevent the first binder from being deformed or destroyed due to excessive grinding action, thereby increasing the dispersion effect.
[0054] In one embodiment, the average particle diameter (D50) of the grinding medium may be 0.5 mm or greater. Specifically, the average particle diameter (D50) of the grinding medium may be 0.6 mm or greater or 0.8 mm or greater. For example, the average particle diameter (D50) of the grinding medium may be 0.5 mm to 5 mm, 0.6 mm to 4 mm, 0.6 mm to 3 mm, or 0.8 mm to 2 mm. When the average particle diameter (D50) of the grinding medium is less than 0.5 mm, the battery performance may be degraded due to platelet formation of silver particles. In addition, when the average particle diameter (D50) of the grinding medium exceeds 5 mm, proper grinding may not be achieved, thereby reducing the dispersion effect of the first mixture.
[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, dispersion of the first mixture can be performed by a bead mill.
[0056] The dispersion time of the first mixture can be appropriately selected depending on the type and operating conditions of the disperser used. For example, dispersion of the first mixture can be performed for 10 to 120 minutes.
[0057]
[0058] The second mixture preparation step (S300) includes adding a second binder to the dispersion.
[0059] The second binder may include at least one binder selected from the group consisting of a rubber-based binder, an imide-based binder, a nitrile-based binder, an acetate-based binder, and a cyano-based binder. In one embodiment, the second binder may be an aqueous binder.
[0060] The above imide binder may be, for example, polyimide or polyamide imide.
[0061] The above nitrile-based binder may be, for example, polyacrylonitrile or an acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer.
[0062] The acetate-based binder may be, for example, polyvinylacetate, polyethylene-co-vinyl acetate, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, or cellulose acetate propionate.
[0063] The above cyano-based binder may be, for example, cyanoethyl sucrose.
[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second binder may be styrene butadiene rubber (SBR). In another embodiment of the present invention, the second binder may be nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR).
[0065] The second binder may be added so that the content of the second binder in the second mixture is 0.5 wt% to 10 wt%. For example, the content of the second binder in the second mixture may be 1 wt% to 8 wt% or 1.5 wt% to 6 wt%. Within the above range, the second mixture (i.e., the negative electrode slurry) has appropriate adhesiveness and viscosity, so that the negative electrode slurry can be uniformly applied onto the current collector during electrode manufacturing.
[0066] The second mixture preparation step (S300) may further include adding the second binder to the dispersion and then mixing. The mixing method of the dispersion and the second binder is not limited, and may be, for example, stirring. In one embodiment, the mixing may be performed using a planetary mixer at a temperature of 20°C to 60°C for 10 to 120 minutes.
[0067]
[0068] The present invention can produce a dispersion by performing a dispersion process using physical force on a first mixture containing a first binder and an anode material. Since the first binder has excellent dispersibility, the constituent materials within the dispersion can be uniformly dispersed within the dispersion. After the high-pressure dispersion step (S200), the second binder can be added to the dispersion. The second binder can have excellent adhesive properties. The present invention can prevent the second binder from being destroyed and modified by the disperser, thereby reducing adhesive properties. Consequently, according to the present invention, an anode slurry for an all-solid-state battery with improved dispersibility and adhesive properties can be produced.
[0069]
[0070] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for preparing a negative electrode slurry for an all-solid-state battery according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, after the first mixture preparation step (S100), a concentration adjustment step (S110) of additionally adding a solvent to the first mixture may be additionally performed. The solvent is the same as that described above in the first mixture preparation step (S100). For example, the solvent may be an aqueous solvent. For example, the solvent may include water.
[0071] Referring to FIG. 2, the concentration control step (S110) may additionally add a solvent to the first mixture to form the solid content of the first mixture to 15 wt% to 45 wt%. For example, by additionally adding water to the first mixture, the solid content in the first mixture may be formed to 15 wt% to 45 wt%, 15 wt% to 40 wt%, 15 wt% to 35 wt%, 20 wt% to 35 wt%, or 20 wt% to 30 wt%.
[0072] The viscosity of the first mixture to which the solvent is additionally added may be 1000 cps to 4000 cps. For example, it may be 1000 cps to 3500 cps, 1300 cps to 3000 cps, 1300 cps to 2500 cps, or 1500 cps to 2500 cps.
[0073] When the solid content of the first mixture satisfies the above range, it has an appropriate viscosity, so that dispersibility can be effectively expressed in the above-described dispersion process.
[0074]
[0075] cathode slurry
[0076] An anode slurry for an all-solid-state battery according to one embodiment of the present invention can be manufactured by the anode slurry manufacturing method described above.
[0077] An anode slurry for an all-solid-state battery according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a solvent, a carbon material, a metal, a first binder, and a second binder. The solvent may be an aqueous solvent. For example, the solvent may include water.
[0078] The carbon material may include at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon black, acetylene black, furnace black, carbon nanotubes, ketjen black, and graphene. In one embodiment, the carbon material may be carbon black.
[0079] The metal may include at least one selected from the group consisting of gold (Au), indium (In), germanium (Ge), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), silicon (Si), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), bismuth (Bi), tin (Sn), and zinc (Zn). In one embodiment, the metal may be silver (Ag). The first binder may include at least one binder selected from the group consisting of a polyvinylidene fluoride-based binder, a polyvinylpyrrolidone-based binder, a polyvinyl alcohol-based binder, and a cellulose-based binder. The polyvinylidene fluoride-based binder, the polyvinylpyrrolidone-based binder, the polyvinyl alcohol-based binder, and the cellulose-based binder are the same as those described above in the method for preparing a negative electrode slurry.
[0080] The second binder may include at least one binder selected from the group consisting of, for example, a rubber-based binder, an imide-based binder, a nitrile-based binder, an acetate-based binder, and a cyano-based binder. The rubber-based binder, the imide-based binder, the nitrile-based binder, the acetate-based binder, and the cyano-based binder are the same as those described above in the method for preparing a negative electrode slurry.
[0081] When the negative electrode slurry according to the present invention is measured using a particle size analyzer, an analysis result (i.e., a graph) can be obtained. The analysis result may include a first peak in a range of particle sizes from 0.01 μm to 0.1 μm, and a second peak in a range of 0.1 μm to 1 μm. More specifically, the second peak may exist in a range of 0.1 μm to 0.5 μm. The second peak may be larger than the first peak. The average particle diameter (D50) of the negative electrode slurry according to the analysis result may be from 0.1 μm to 0.5 μm.
[0082] The negative electrode slurry of the present invention may have an excellent viscosity maintenance effect. In one embodiment, the viscosity (cps) increase rate of the negative electrode slurry 1 day after preparation with respect to the viscosity (cps) of the negative electrode slurry immediately after preparation, as measured at a shear rate of shear 10, may be less than 90%. More specifically, the viscosity increase rate of the negative electrode slurry of the present invention may be less than 80%. For example, the viscosity increase rate (%) may be calculated as “((slurry viscosity 1 day after preparation - slurry viscosity immediately after preparation) ÷ slurry viscosity immediately after preparation) x 100”.
[0083] The cathode slurry of the present invention can have improved metal particle dispersibility. The cathode slurry of the present invention can have excellent viscosity maintenance effects. An electrode manufactured using the cathode slurry of the present invention can have improved electrical properties.

As a result, the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state battery (10) in a charged state can be improved. Meanwhile, the “cycle characteristics” are characteristics indicating the degree to which the all-solid-state battery (10) is deteriorated due to charge / discharge of the all-solid-state battery (10). An all-solid-state battery (10) with high cycle characteristics can have a small degree of deterioration of the all-solid-state battery (10) due to charge / discharge, and an all-solid-state battery (10) with low cycle characteristics can have a large degree of deterioration of the all-solid-state battery (10) due to charge / discharge.

Can be.
[0099] The density of the argyrodite-type solid electrolyte may be 1.5 g / cc to 2.0 g / cc. Since the argyrodite-type solid electrolyte has a density of 1.5 g / cc or more, the internal resistance of the all-solid-state battery is reduced, and the defect of the solid electrolyte membrane being penetrated and short-circuited due to the formation of lithium dendrites can be prevented. The elastic modulus of the solid electrolyte may be, for example, 15 GPa to 35 GPa.
[0100] The solid electrolyte included in the positive electrode active material layer (120) may have a smaller median particle size (D50) than the solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer (300).

[0104] Within the positive electrode active material layer (120), the conductive material may be present in an amount of 1 to 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the solid electrolyte. If the conductive material is present in an amount less than 1 part by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the solid electrolyte, the electrical conductivity of the positive electrode active material layer (120) may be reduced. If the conductive material is present in an amount greater than 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the solid electrolyte, the conductive material ratio may be excessively high, and thus a covering layer covering the surface of the solid electrolyte may not be properly formed.

Can be.
[0110] The density of the argyrodite-type solid electrolyte may be 1.5 g / cc to 2.0 g / cc. When the argyrodite-type solid electrolyte has a density of 1.5 g / cc or more, the internal resistance of the all-solid-state battery is reduced, and the defect of the solid electrolyte membrane being penetrated and short-circuited due to the formation of lithium dendrites can be prevented. The elastic modulus of the solid electrolyte is, for example, 15 GPa to 35 GPa.
[0111] The solid electrolyte layer (300) may further include a binder. The binder in the solid electrolyte layer (300) may be, for example, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyethylene (PE), polymethacrylate (PMA), polyacrylic acid (PAA), etc., but is not limited thereto. The binder of the solid electrolyte layer (300) may be the same as or different from the binder included in the positive electrode active material layer (120) or the binder included in the negative electrode coating layer (220).
[0112] The negative electrode layer (200) may include a negative electrode current collector (210) and a negative electrode coating layer (220) on the negative electrode current collector (210). The negative electrode current collector (210) may provide a reference surface on which the negative electrode coating layer (220) is disposed. The negative electrode current collector (210) may include, for example, a material that does not react with lithium, i.e., does not form an alloy or a compound with lithium. For example, the negative electrode current collector (210) may include at least one metal selected from the group consisting of copper (Cu), stainless steel, titanium (Ti), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni). The thickness of the negative electrode current collector (210) may be 1 μm to 20 μm, more specifically 5 μm to 15 μm, and more specifically 7 μm to 10 μm.
[0113] The negative electrode current collector (210) may be composed of one of the above-described metals, or may include an alloy or coating material of two or more metals. The negative electrode current collector (210) may have, for example, a plate shape or a foil shape. Meanwhile, in one embodiment, the negative electrode current collector (210) may be omitted.
[0114] The negative electrode coating layer (220) can allow lithium metal to grow between it and the negative electrode current collector (210) when the all-solid-state battery (10) is charged. The negative electrode coating layer (220) can act as a protective layer for the lithium metal and simultaneously suppress the precipitation and growth of lithium dendrites.
[0115] The cathode coating layer (220) may include a metal and carbon. For example, the cathode coating layer (220) may include at least one metal selected from the group consisting of gold (Au), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), silicon (Si), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), bismuth (Bi), tin (Sn), and zinc (Zn). The cathode coating layer (220) may include at least one carbon selected from the group consisting of carbon black, acetylene black, furnace black, carbon nanotubes, ketjen black, and graphene.

The thickness of the negative electrode coating layer (220) may be, for example, 50% or less, 40% or less, 30% or less, 20% or less, 10% or less, or 5% or less of the thickness of the positive electrode active material layer (120). The thickness of the negative electrode coating layer (220) may be, for example, 1 um to 20 um, 2 um to 10 um, or 3 um to 7 um. If the thickness of the negative electrode coating layer (220) is too thin, lithium dendrites formed between the negative electrode coating layer (220) and the negative electrode current collector (210) may cause the negative electrode coating layer (220) to collapse, thereby deteriorating the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state battery (10). If the thickness of the cathode coating layer (220) increases excessively, the energy density of the all-solid-state battery (10) may decrease and the internal resistance of the all-solid-state battery (10) due to the cathode coating layer (220) may increase, thereby deteriorating the cycle characteristics of the all-solid-state battery (10).
[0118] Meanwhile, although not shown, a carbon layer may be further included to improve adhesion between the cathode coating layer (220) and the solid electrolyte layer (300).
[0119] The negative electrode layer (200) of the all-solid-state battery according to the present embodiment can be manufactured using the above-described negative electrode slurry. The negative electrode layer (200) can be manufactured using a conventional technique for manufacturing an electrode, and is not particularly limited. Specifically, the above-described negative electrode slurry can be applied and dried on a negative electrode current collector (210) using a doctor blade, spray, bar coating, slot die coating, or the like, and then pressed to manufacture an electrode. An negative electrode coating layer (220) can be formed from the negative electrode slurry.
