[0009] The coating material of the present disclosure contains indium ions, and there is a certain coupling relationship between the oxygen ion redox of the lithium-rich manganese-based material and the redox of the indium ions.

The battery cell assembly can comprise a plurality of solid-state battery cells connected in series, in parallel or in a mixed manner through a busbar component.

[0057] In some embodiments, the battery cell assembly is usually formed by arranging a plurality of solid-state battery cells.

[0058] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module. The battery module is formed by arranging and fixing a plurality of solid-state battery cells into one independent module.

[0065] 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. For example, the electric devices can be, but are not limited to, mobile devices (such as mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, etc.), electric vehicles (such as 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.

[0066] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an electric device as an example. The electric device is a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, etc.

[0067] The lithium-rich manganese-based material has the advantages of high theoretical specific capacity, high energy density, low cost, good thermal stability, etc., and thus becomes a promising next-generation positive electrode active material. Using the lithium-rich manganese-based material in a solid-state battery cell is expected to make the solid-state battery cell have high energy density and high reliability.

[0068] However, the lithium-rich manganese-based material has low ionic conductivity, slow anion redox process dynamics, and interface side reactions between the lithium-rich manganese-based material and the sulfide solid-state electrolyte material due to the difference in electrochemical potential, which results in a low actual discharge capacity of the lithium-rich manganese-based material, which is much lower than the theoretical capacity. In addition, the anion redox process of the lithium-rich manganese-based material also causes oxygen release problems, and oxygen can oxidize the sulfide solid-state electrolyte material, which also causes continuous capacity and voltage decay of the solid-state battery cell, thereby affecting the electrochemical performance of the lithium-rich manganese-based material in the solid-state battery cell and its practical application.

[0069] Currently, oxides such as Li3BO3 and Li2ZrO3 are used to coat the lithium-rich manganese-based material. These oxide coating materials can reduce the interface side reactions between the lithium-rich manganese-based material and the sulfide solid-state electrolyte material, but they cannot effectively improve the ionic conductivity of the lithium-rich manganese-based material or solve the oxygen release problem of the lithium-rich manganese-based material, which results in unsatisfactory electrochemical performance of the solid-state battery cell using the lithium-rich manganese-based material.

[0070] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a positive electrode active material and a positive electrode sheet containing the same, which is applied to a solid-state battery cell, can reduce the capacity decay rate of the solid-state battery cell, and improve the cycle performance of the solid-state battery cell.

[0071] The positive electrode sheet of the present disclosure includes a positive electrode active material and a sulfide solid-state electrolyte material.

[0072] The positive electrode active material includes a base material and a coating material on at least part of the surface of the base material. The base material includes a lithium-rich manganese-based material, and the coating material includes one or more of indium halide, indium sulfide In2S3, indium selenide In2Se3, and indium telluride In2Te3.

[0073] The actual discharge capacity of the lithium-rich manganese-based material without surface coating is very low, and there is basically no anion redox process involved, which results in poor electrochemical performance of the solid-state battery cell using the lithium-rich manganese-based material.

[0074] After coating the lithium-rich manganese-based material with oxides such as Li3BO3 and Li2ZrO3, the actual discharge capacity of the lithium-rich manganese-based material is improved to a certain extent, but the electrochemical performance of the solid-state battery cell is still not ideal.

[0075] The coating material on the surface of the lithium-rich manganese-based material of the present disclosure includes one or more of indium halide, indium sulfide In2S3, indium selenide In2Se3, and indium telluride In2Te3. These coating materials have good stability with the lithium-rich manganese-based material, and can be coated on the surface of the lithium-rich manganese-based material to reduce the interface side reactions between the lithium-rich manganese-based material and the sulfide solid electrolyte material.

[0076] The coating material of the present disclosure also has high ionic conductivity, and coating on the surface of the lithium-rich manganese-based material can also improve the ionic conduction of the surface of the lithium-rich manganese-based material, thereby improving the utilization rate of anion redox and the actual discharge capacity of the lithium-rich manganese-based material.

[0077] The coating material of the present disclosure contains indium ions, and there is a certain coupling relationship between the oxygen ion redox of the lithium-rich manganese-based material and the redox of the indium ions. When the lithium-rich manganese-based material is charged, the O 2- to O2 2- oxidation process, thereby providing high capacity. In this process, O2 2- can form In-O bonds with the indium ions in the coating material, thereby reducing the release of oxygen from the lithium-rich manganese-based material; the In-O bonds can be reduced to In-X bonds (X represents halogen), In-S bonds, In-Se bonds, or In-Te bonds in the discharge process, thereby also continuing to reduce the release of oxygen in the subsequent cyclic charging and discharging process.

[0078] Therefore, the coating material of the present disclosure can improve the cycle stability of the lithium-rich manganese-based material, reduce the side reactions between the lithium-rich manganese-based material and the sulfide solid electrolyte material, and reduce the release of oxygen. The positive electrode sheet of the present disclosure applied to a solid-state battery monomer can reduce the capacity decay rate of the solid-state battery monomer and improve the cycle performance of the solid-state battery monomer.
