[0045] The battery apparatus mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure can comprise one or more battery cell assemblies for providing voltage and capacity. The battery cell assembly can comprise a plurality of solid-state battery cells connected in series, in parallel or in mixed connection through a busbar component.
[0046] In some embodiments, the battery cell assembly is usually formed by arranging a plurality of solid-state battery cells.
[0047] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module, which is formed by arranging and fixing a plurality of solid-state battery cells into one independent module. As an example, the battery module can be formed by bundling a plurality of solid-state battery cells by a cable tie.
[0048] In some embodiments, the battery device can be a battery pack, which includes a case and one or more battery cell assemblies, the battery cell assemblies being accommodated in the case.
[0049] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module, which can be accommodated in the case by fixing the battery module in the case.

[0052] As an example, the case can include a top cover, a frame and a bottom plate. The top cover and the bottom plate are connected with the frame respectively, so that a closed space is formed inside the case to accommodate the battery cell assembly.
[0053] In some embodiments, the case can be part of the chassis structure of a vehicle. For example, part of the case can be at least part of the floor of the vehicle, or part of the case can be at least part of the cross beam and the longitudinal beam of the vehicle.
[0054] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to various electric devices using solid-state battery cells and battery devices, such as mobile devices (e.g., mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, etc.), electric vehicles (e.g., pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric golf carts, electric trucks, etc.), electric trains, ships and satellites, energy storage systems, etc. The solid-state battery cells and the battery devices are used to store or provide electric energy.
[0055] The contact between the electrode and the electrolyte sheet of the solid-state battery cell is solid-solid contact, and the ion transmission channel is less and the ion transmission is more difficult. Therefore, a mixed material including a positive electrode active material and a solid electrolyte material is usually used as the positive electrode.
[0056] At present, the solid-state electrolyte materials widely used in solid-state battery cells mainly include oxide solid-state electrolyte materials, polymer solid-state electrolyte materials and sulfide solid-state electrolyte materials. The oxide solid-state electrolyte material has a wide electrochemical window and good thermal stability, but its own ionic conductivity is low and there is an interface problem; the polymer solid-state electrolyte material has good ductility, but its own ionic conductivity is low; the sulfide solid-state electrolyte material has high ionic conductivity, but its own electrochemical window is narrow and oxidation stability is poor. Therefore, these materials are not suitable as solid-state electrolyte materials in high-voltage cathodes.
[0057] The halide solid electrolyte material can have high ionic conductivity and high oxidation stability, and thus can be better used in cathodes. At present, the halide solid electrolyte material is mostly concentrated in Li3MCl6 (M is a trivalent rare earth element, such as Li3InCl6, Li3YCl6, Li3HoCl6) and new halide oxide solid electrolyte materials represented by LiTaOCl4 and LiNbOCl4. Li3MCl6 has a wide electrochemical window, but the ionic conductivity is relatively low, usually less than 1 mS / cm. LiTaOCl4 and LiNbOCl4 have high ionic conductivity of more than 10 mS / cm and high oxidation stability, but the generation of byproduct hydrogen chloride gas often accompanies the ball milling process of this type of halide oxide solid electrolyte material, and the safety risk of the ball milling process is high. In addition, hydrogen chloride will corrode the equipment, so this type of halide oxide solid electrolyte material is not conducive to large-scale production.
[0058] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a halide solid electrolyte material and a cathode sheet containing the same, which is applied to a solid-state battery cell and can improve the cycle stability and rate performance of the solid-state battery cell.
[0059] The cathode sheet of the present disclosure includes a cathode active material and a halide solid electrolyte material.
[0060] The halide solid electrolyte material is amorphous, and the molecular formula of the halide solid electrolyte material is LiM 1 x M 2 y X6, M 1 including one or both of Ta and Nb, M 2 including one or more of a trivalent metal element and a tetravalent metal element, X including one or more of a halogen element, 0.5≤x<1, and LiM 1 x M 2 y X6 is electrically neutral.
[0061] The halide solid electrolyte material at the present stage is not stable to the sulfide solid electrolyte material, which will generate metal sulfide by-products, thereby increasing the interface impedance of the solid-state battery monomer.
[0062] The present disclosure adjusts the microstructure of the halide solid electrolyte material by doping one or more of trivalent metal elements and tetravalent metal elements at the Ta site and / or the Nb site of X6, and makes the halide solid electrolyte material amorphous, thereby improving the ionic conductivity and stability of the halide solid electrolyte material, especially the stability of the halide solid electrolyte material relative to the sulfide solid electrolyte material, so that the solid-state battery monomer has higher ion transport characteristics. The positive electrode sheet of the present disclosure is applied to the solid-state battery monomer, which can improve the cycle stability and rate performance of the solid-state battery monomer. In addition, the halide solid electrolyte material LiM 1 X6is doped with one or more of trivalent metal elements and tetravalent metal elements at the Ta site and / or the Nb site, and the halide solid electrolyte material is amorphous, which can adjust the microstructure of the halide solid electrolyte material, improve the ionic conductivity and stability of the halide solid electrolyte material, especially the stability of the halide solid electrolyte material relative to the sulfide solid electrolyte material, so that the solid-state battery monomer has higher ion transport characteristics. The positive electrode sheet of the present disclosure is applied to the solid-state battery monomer, which can improve the cycle stability and rate performance of the solid-state battery monomer. In addition, the halide solid electrolyte material LiM 1 x M 2 y X6is easy to produce in large scale.
[0063] 0.5≤x<1, for example, x can be 0.5, 0.52, 0.54, 0.56, 0.58, 0.6, 0.62, 0.64, 0.66, 0.68, 0.7, 0.72, 0.74, 0.76, 0.78, 0.8, 0.82, 0.84, 0.86, 0.88, 0.9, or a range composed of any of the above values.
[0064] Alternatively, 0.6≤x≤0.9, 0.62≤x≤0.9, 0.64≤x≤0.9, 0.66≤x≤0.9, 0.68≤x≤0.9, 0.7≤x≤0.9, 0.72≤x≤0.9, 0.74≤x≤0.9, 0.76≤x≤0.9, 0.78≤x≤0.9, 0.6≤x≤0.88, 0.62≤x≤0.88, 0.64≤x≤0.88, 0.66≤x≤0.88, 0.68≤x≤0.88, 0.7≤x≤0.88, 0.72≤x≤0.88, 0.74≤x≤0.88, 0.76≤x≤0.88, 0.78≤x≤0.88.
[0065] Thereby the ionic conductivity of the halide solid electrolyte material can be further improved, and the cycle stability and rate performance of the solid-state battery monomer can also be improved.
