Background Technology
[0004] The statements herein are provided only as background information in connection with this application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0005] Solid-state batteries utilize non-flammable solid electrolytes to replace the organic electrolytes in traditional liquid secondary batteries, significantly improving battery safety. Among numerous solid electrolyte materials, sulfide solid electrolytes, with their ultra-high ionic conductivity and excellent mechanical properties, have become one of the most promising solid electrolyte materials for practical application and industrialization. However, the chemical stability in aqueous atmospheres is one of the most serious problems facing sulfide solid electrolytes. Water in the air reacts with sulfides to produce highly toxic and harmful hydrogen sulfide gas, further accelerating the degradation of sulfides and severely restricting the practical application of sulfide solid electrolytes. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the above problems, according to various embodiments and examples of this application, this application provides a solid electrolyte membrane, an electrolyte electrode, a solid-state battery, a preparation method, and an electrical device, and further provides a solid electrolyte membrane and its preparation method, an electrolyte electrode, a solid-state battery and its preparation method, and an electrical device. The hydrogen sulfide release from this solid electrolyte membrane, electrolyte electrode, and solid-state battery in an aqueous environment is significantly reduced.
[0007] In some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, a solid electrolyte membrane is provided, which includes a first electrolyte layer, the first electrolyte layer including a sulfide solid electrolyte and a first adhesive layer, the first adhesive layer including a first adhesive.
[0008] The first adhesive satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0009] (t1) The water absorption rate of the first adhesive is ≤0.1%;
[0010] (t2) The first binder comprises a cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, wherein the monomer units of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units, and the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes a cyclic structure provided by the cyclic olefin monomer units.
[0011] In some embodiments, a solid electrolyte membrane is provided, which includes a first electrolyte layer, the first electrolyte layer including a first solid electrolyte and a first binder layer;
[0012] Wherein, the first solid electrolyte includes a sulfide solid electrolyte; the first layer binder includes a first binder, wherein the water absorption rate of the first binder is less than or equal to 0.1%.
[0013] In some embodiments, the first binder comprises a cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, wherein the monomer units of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units, and the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes a cyclic structure provided by the cyclic olefin monomer units.
[0014] In some embodiments, a solid electrolyte membrane is provided, comprising a first electrolyte layer, the first electrolyte layer comprising a sulfide solid electrolyte and a first binder layer, the first binder layer comprising a first adhesive.
[0015] The first binder comprises a cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, wherein the monomer units of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units, and the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes a cyclic structure provided by the cyclic olefin monomer units.
[0016] The first binder is a binder with low water absorption, which may have a water absorption rate of ≤0.1%. The first binder may include cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers with low water absorption, for example, cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers with a water absorption rate of ≤0.01%.
[0017] By introducing a first binder with low water absorption rate into the solid electrolyte membrane containing a sulfide solid electrolyte, the absorption of water by the solid electrolyte membrane can be reduced, the probability of contact reaction between the sulfide solid electrolyte and water can be decreased, and the decomposition of the sulfide solid electrolyte can be reduced or inhibited, thus significantly reducing the amount of hydrogen sulfide released by the solid electrolyte membrane in an aqueous environment (such as air). Furthermore, the amount of hydrogen sulfide released by the electrolyte electrode and solid-state battery prepared based on this solid electrolyte membrane in an aqueous environment (such as air) can be correspondingly reduced.
[0018] On the other hand, as the probability of contact reaction between sulfide solid electrolyte and water decreases, the material stability of sulfide solid electrolyte can be improved, which is conducive to giving full play to the fast ion conduction characteristics of sulfide solid electrolyte and maintaining good ionic conductivity of solid electrolyte membrane.
[0019] On the other hand, as the probability of contact reaction between sulfide solid electrolyte and water decreases, the stability of related materials in electrolyte electrodes and solid-state batteries, including the solid electrolyte membrane, is also improved, which can improve the electrochemical performance stability of solid-state batteries.
[0020] On the other hand, when using a solid electrolyte membrane to prepare a solid-state battery, it may be difficult to avoid contact with moisture in the air during operation. When using the aforementioned solid electrolyte membrane, which includes a first electrolyte layer, to prepare a solid-state battery, the probability of degradation of sulfide solid electrolyte during operation can be reduced, the air stability of the solid electrolyte membrane, electrolyte electrode and solid-state battery can be improved, and the quality stability of the solid-state battery can be improved.
[0021] The improvement described in any part of the context of this application is not intended to be limited to any theory.
[0022] In some embodiments, the first adhesive satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0023] The chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer is a carbon backbone;
[0024] The cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer is an aliphatic polymer;
[0025] The cyclic structure in the cyclic olefin monomer unit includes one or more of monocyclic and polycyclic structures;
[0026] The number of ring atoms in the cyclic olefin monomer unit is 3 to 30, and can be selected as 5 to 20;
[0027] The olefin monomer unit includes those corresponding to C. 2~6 The structural unit of olefins;
[0028] The side groups of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include C 1~20 Aliphatic chains and fluorinated C 1~20 One or more of the aliphatic chains;
[0029] In the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, the molar fraction of the cyclic olefin monomer unit is 10% to 85%, and can be selected as 50% to 85%;
[0030] In the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, the molar fraction of the chain olefin monomer unit is 15% to 70%, and can be selected as 15% to 50%.
[0031] The weight-average molecular weight of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer is 30kDa to 100kDa, and can be selected as 30kDa to 50kDa.

[0034] The cyclic olefin monomer units include structural units corresponding to one or more monomers selected from norbornene, cyclopentene, cycloheptene, cyclohexene, and cycloheptene;
[0035] The chain olefin monomer unit includes a structural unit corresponding to ethylene;
[0036] The side groups of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include C 1~10 Alkyl chains and fluorinated C 1~10 One or more of the alkyl chain;
[0037] In the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, the molar fraction of the cyclic olefin monomer unit is 30% to 85%;

[0039] The weight-average molecular weight of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer is 30 kDa to 50 kDa.
[0040] When the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer is an aliphatic reactant, the molecule does not contain an aromatic ring, which is beneficial for the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer to have a more suitable dielectric constant. When preparing slurries containing non-polar or low-polar solvents, it is beneficial for improving the dispersion uniformity of the slurry system.
[0041] By adjusting one or more parameters, such as the type and size of the rings in the cyclic olefin monomer unit, the number of carbon atoms in the chain olefin monomer unit, the molar fraction of the cyclic olefin monomer unit, the mass fraction of the cyclic olefin monomer unit, the molar fraction of the chain olefin monomer unit, the mass fraction of the chain olefin monomer unit, and the weight-average molecular weight of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, one or more of the following can be adjusted: the flexibility or rigidity of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, the viscosity of the electrolyte slurry, and the dispersing effect on sulfide solid electrolytes. As a non-limiting example, increasing the content of cyclic olefin monomer units can increase molecular rigidity, increasing the content of chain olefin monomer units can increase molecular flexibility, increasing the weight-average molecular weight can increase the viscosity of the electrolyte slurry, and adjusting the adhesion and dielectric constant can regulate the dispersing effect on sulfide solid electrolytes.
[0042] On another front, the water absorption characteristics of cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers can be adjusted by regulating the ratio between cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units. A higher proportion of cyclic olefin monomer units is more conducive to reducing water absorption. In addition, processing performance can also be taken into account.
[0043] When the side groups of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include fluorinated groups (such as fluorinated aliphatic chains, or even fluorinated alkyl chains), it is beneficial to improve the fluidity of the slurry and further improve the dispersion uniformity of the slurry.
[0044] By adjusting one or more of the aforementioned parameters within the aforementioned range, it is more beneficial to improve at least one of the following items: low water absorption of cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers, material stability of sulfide solid electrolytes, dispersion stability of electrolyte slurry, coating uniformity of electrolyte slurry, and dispersion uniformity of electrolyte slurry.
[0045] In some embodiments, the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes one or more of (ethylene-cyclopentene) copolymers, (ethylene-norbornene) random copolymers, and (ethylene-norbornene) alternating copolymers.
[0046] The aforementioned types of cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers can better control at least one of the following: the low water absorption characteristics of cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers, the material stability of sulfide solid electrolytes, the dispersion stability of electrolyte slurries, the coating uniformity of electrolyte slurries, and the dispersion uniformity of electrolyte slurries.

[0048] By controlling the water absorption rate of the first binder within the aforementioned range, the water absorption of the solid electrolyte membrane can be further reduced, which is more conducive to reducing or inhibiting the decomposition of sulfide solid electrolytes and can better reduce the release of hydrogen sulfide from solid electrolyte membranes, electrolyte electrodes and solid batteries in water-containing environments (such as air).
[0049] On the other hand, by controlling the water absorption rate of the first binder within the aforementioned range, it is more conducive to suppressing the decomposition of sulfides, more conducive to improving the material stability of sulfide solid electrolytes, and more conducive to maintaining good ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte membrane; furthermore, it is more conducive to improving the electrochemical performance stability of solid-state batteries.
[0050] On the other hand, by controlling the water absorption rate of the first binder within the aforementioned range, it is more beneficial to reduce the degradation probability of the sulfide solid electrolyte during the preparation of solid-state batteries using a solid electrolyte membrane including the first electrolyte layer. This is beneficial to further improve the air stability of the solid electrolyte membrane, electrolyte electrode and solid-state battery, and can improve the quality stability of solid-state batteries.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first electrolyte layer satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0052] The first adhesive accounts for 15% to 100% of the weight of the first layer of adhesive, optionally 40% to 95%, and more preferably 50% to 75%.
[0053] The first adhesive has a weight percentage of 0.3% to 6% in the first electrolyte layer, optionally 0.3% to 4%, and more preferably 0.5% to 2%;

Simultaneously, it allows for better control of the dispersion uniformity, dispersion stability, and coating uniformity of the slurry system in the first electrolyte layer. This, in turn, improves the component distribution uniformity of the first electrolyte layer and the uniformity and stability of the electrical contact network. From this perspective, it is beneficial to improve the electrochemical performance of solid-state batteries, such as, but not limited to, improving their cycle performance. Furthermore, utilizing the excellent low water absorption characteristics provided by the first binder can significantly reduce the water absorption problems that are easily caused by introducing the second binder, greatly suppressing the battery performance degradation that may result from water absorption by the first binder. The synergistic effect between the first and second binders can further improve the component dispersion uniformity and material stability of the solid electrolyte membrane, allowing the second binder to better enhance the electrochemical performance of the solid-state battery.

This is beneficial for better leveraging the low water absorption characteristic of the first binder and the dispersing and binding effects of the second binder, further improving the component dispersion uniformity and material stability of the solid electrolyte membrane, and better utilizing the role of the second binder in improving the electrochemical performance of solid-state batteries, including improving battery cycle performance. Furthermore, solid-state batteries also exhibit good ion transport performance, thus achieving good battery kinetics.

[0136] (t2) The first binder comprises a cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, wherein the monomer units of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units, and the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes a cyclic structure provided by the cyclic olefin monomer units.
[0137] In some embodiments, the electrolyte electrode is as defined in the second aspect of this application, or the first electrolyte layer is as defined in the first aspect of this application.
[0138] In some embodiments, the electrolyte slurry further includes a second binder having a water absorption rate of ≥0.5%.
[0139] The solid-state battery prepared includes the advantages of the aforementioned solid-state batteries.
[0140] In some embodiments, the first electrolyte layer is formed on at least one side of the first electrode layer by coating and drying an electrolyte slurry;
[0141] The electrolyte slurry comprises the first solid electrolyte, the first layer binder, and an organic solvent.
[0142] In some embodiments, the electrolyte electrode sheet is prepared by a method comprising the following steps: coating the electrolyte slurry onto at least one surface of the first electrode sheet and drying it to obtain the electrolyte electrode sheet; wherein the first electrode sheet forms the first electrode layer and the dried electrolyte slurry forms the first electrolyte layer.
[0143] When forming the first electrolyte layer using a wet process with an electrolyte slurry, introducing a first binder with low water absorption can reduce the water absorption of the electrolyte slurry, decrease the probability of contact reaction between the sulfide solid electrolyte and water, and reduce or inhibit the decomposition of the sulfide solid electrolyte. This reduces the release of hydrogen sulfide and the stability of the sulfide solid electrolyte during the preparation of the electrolyte electrode, and also improves the material stability of the electrolyte electrode, which is beneficial to improving the quality stability of the solid-state battery obtained in further preparation. Furthermore, the release of hydrogen sulfide from the solid-state battery prepared based on this electrolyte electrode in a water-containing environment (such as air) can be correspondingly reduced.
[0144] In some embodiments, the electrolyte electrode is an electrolyte negative electrode, and the method for preparing the solid-state battery includes the following steps:
[0145] The electrolyte slurry is coated onto at least one surface of the negative electrode sheet and dried to prepare the electrolyte negative electrode sheet; wherein the negative electrode sheet forms a negative electrode layer, and the dried electrolyte slurry forms the first electrolyte layer;
[0146] A second electrolyte layer and a positive electrode layer are formed sequentially on the side of the first electrolyte layer away from the negative electrode layer.
[0147] In some embodiments, the dielectric constant ε of the organic solvent in the electrolyte slurry satisfies: ε≤6.5.
[0148] In some embodiments, the organic solvent in the electrolyte slurry satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0149] The organic solvent includes one or more of low-polarity solvents and non-polar solvents; wherein, the dielectric constant ε1 of the low-polarity solvent satisfies: 2.6 < ε1 ≤ 6.5; and the dielectric constant ε2 of the non-polar solvent satisfies: ε2 ≤ 2.6.
[0150] The organic solvent includes substituted benzene, wherein the phenyl group in the substituted benzene is replaced by one or more substituents selected from the substituent group G, the substituent group G including: methyl, chlorine atom and methoxy;
[0151] The organic solvent with a dielectric constant less than or equal to 6.5 is present in a weight percentage of 50 wt% to 100 wt%, optionally 70 wt% to 100 wt%.
[0152] The organic solvent includes one or more of toluene, xylene, butyl butyrate, octyl butyrate, trimethylbenzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, dimethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, n-hexane, anisole, dibromomethane, triethyl phosphate, isopropyl ether, and benzyl acetate; optionally, the organic solvent includes one or more of p-xylene, pseudotrimethylbenzene, toluene, butyl butyrate (butyl butyrate may include one or more of n-butyl butyrate, isobutyl isobutyrate, etc.), and octyl butyrate;
[0153] The organic solvent in the electrolyte slurry is 30 wt% to 90 wt%, and optionally 40 wt% to 70 wt%.
[0154] For electrolyte slurry systems containing the aforementioned organic solvents, selecting low-polarity or non-polar solvents can reduce side reactions with highly reactive sulfide solid electrolytes.
[0155] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the solid-state battery satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:

Detailed Implementation
[0178] The following describes in detail, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the solid electrolyte membrane, electrolyte electrode, solid-state battery, preparation method, and electrical device provided in this application. However, some unnecessary details may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of well-known matters and repetitive descriptions of practically identical structures may be omitted. This is to avoid unnecessarily lengthy descriptions and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand this application and are not intended to limit the subject matter of the claims.
[0179] The "range" disclosed in this application can be defined in the form of a lower limit and an upper limit. A given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, which define the boundaries of a particular range. Ranges defined in this way can include or exclude endpoints. Any endpoint can be included or excluded independently and can be combined arbitrarily; that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, if ranges of 60-120 and 80-110 are listed for a specific parameter, it is expected that ranges of 60-110 and 80-120 are also included. Furthermore, if minimum range values 1 and 2 are listed, and maximum range values 3, 4, and 5 are also listed, then the following ranges are all expected: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5. In this application, unless otherwise stated, the numerical range "ab" represents a shortened representation of any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0-5" indicates that all real numbers between "0" and "5" have been listed in this article; "0-5" is simply a shortened representation of these numerical combinations. Furthermore, when describing a parameter as an integer ≥ 2, it is equivalent to listing integers such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 for that parameter. For instance, when describing a parameter as an integer selected from "2-10", it is equivalent to listing the integers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
[0180] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "about" means within a reasonable range above and below the stated number, and the range of fluctuation may vary depending on the type and value of the stated number. For example, a range of ±10%, ±5%, ±2%, ±1%, etc., may be allowed. For example, taking "about 20°C" and its approximation as ±1°C, approximate values such as 19°C, 19.5°C, etc., within the approximation range indicated by "about 20°C" should also be included in the range indicated by "about 20°C".
[0181] In this application, the terms "multiple," "various," "multiple items," "several," etc., unless otherwise specified, refer to a quantity greater than or equal to 2. For example, "one or more" means one or more (greater than or equal to) two. It can be understood that when "any number of" items are involved, it refers to any suitable combination of multiple items, that is, a combination of "any number of" items in a manner that does not conflict and enables the implementation of this application.
[0182] Unless otherwise specified, all embodiments and optional embodiments of this application can be combined to form new technical solutions.
[0183] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment or implementation of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments. The term "implementation" as used herein has a similar understanding.
[0184] Those skilled in the art will understand that the order in which the steps are written in the various implementations or embodiments does not imply a strict execution order and does not constitute any limitation on the implementation process. The detailed execution order of each step should be determined by its function and possible internal logic. Unless otherwise specified, all steps in this application may be performed sequentially or randomly, but are preferably performed sequentially. For example, if method M includes steps (a) and (b), it means that method M may include steps (a) and (b) performed sequentially, or it may include steps (b) and (a) performed sequentially. As another example, method M may also include step (c), meaning that step (c) can be added to method M in any order. For example, method M may include steps (a), (b), and (c), or it may include steps (a), (c), and (b), or it may include steps (c), (a), and (b), etc.
[0185] In this application, open-ended technical features or solutions described using terms such as "containing," "including," or "comprising" do not exclude additional members beyond those listed unless otherwise specified. They can be considered as providing both closed-ended features or solutions comprised of the listed members and open-ended features or solutions that include additional members beyond the listed members. For example, if A includes a1, a2, and a3, it may also include other members or exclude additional members unless otherwise specified. This can be considered as providing both features or solutions where "A consists of a1, a2, and a3" or "A is selected from a1, a2, and a3," and features or solutions where "A includes not only a1, a2, and a3, but also other members."
[0186] In this application, unless otherwise stated, A (e.g., B) means that B is a non-limiting example of A, and it is understood that A is not limited to B.
[0187] In this application, "optionally," "optionally," and "optional" mean that something is optional, that is, it is selected from either "with" or "without." If multiple "options" appear in a technical solution, unless otherwise specified and there are no contradictions or mutual constraints, each "option" is independent. Unless otherwise specified, the descriptions such as "optionally include" and "optionally contain" in this application, taking "optionally include" as an example, mean "may include or not include."
[0188] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the features or solutions corresponding to "and / or" include any one of two or more of the related listed items, as well as any and all combinations of the related listed items. These arbitrary and all combinations include any two related listed items, any more related listed items, or a combination of all related listed items. For example, "A and / or B" represents a group consisting of A, B, and "a combination of A and B". "Containing A and / or B" can mean "containing A, containing B, and containing A and B", or "containing A, containing B, or containing A and B", and can be appropriately understood according to the context.
[0189] The terms “combinations of,” “any combination of,” and “any combination of” used in this article include all suitable combinations of any two or more of the listed items.
[0190] In this document, the term "suitable" as used in "suitable combination", "suitable method", "any suitable method", etc., refers to the technical solution that enables the implementation of this application.
[0191] In this document, terms such as "preferred," "better," "more suitable," "ideal," "good," and "superior" are merely descriptions of more effective implementation methods or embodiments, and should be understood not to limit the scope of protection of this application. If multiple "preferred" terms appear in a technical solution, unless otherwise specified and there are no contradictions or mutual constraints, each "preferred" term shall be independent.
[0192] In this application, terms such as "further," "even more," "especially," "for example," "as," "example," and "exemplary" are used for descriptive purposes to indicate differences in content, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
[0193] In this application, the terms "first aspect," "second aspect," "third aspect," "fourth aspect," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or quantity, nor should they be construed as implicitly indicating the importance or quantity of the indicated technical features. Moreover, "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., serve only as a non-exhaustive enumeration and should be understood not to constitute a closed limitation on quantity.
[0194] In this application, the term "room temperature" generally refers to 4℃ to 35℃, and may refer to 20℃ ± 5℃. In some embodiments of this application, room temperature refers to 20℃ to 30℃.
[0195] In this application, if the unit for a data range is only followed by the right endpoint, it indicates that the units for the left and right endpoints are the same. For example, 3~5h or 3-5h both mean that the unit for the left endpoint "3" and the right endpoint "5" is h (hours), and both have the same meaning as 3h~5h. Furthermore, similar descriptions of other parameters such as temperature and size are interpreted in the same way.
[0196] In this application, "wt%" means weight percentage or mass percentage.
[0197] In this application, "greater than or equal to" and "≥" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably; "less than or equal to" and "≤" have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably; "greater than" can be equivalently represented as ">", and "less than" can be equivalently represented as "<". In this application, unless otherwise specified, "greater than or equal to" and "≥" can be considered as providing two additional solutions: "greater than" and "equal to". In this application, unless otherwise specified, "less than or equal to" and "≤" can be considered as providing two additional solutions: "less than" and "equal to".
[0198] In this application, the exemplary descriptions such as "in some implementations (or embodiments)" and "in one implementation (or embodiment)" may cover, but are not limited to, the following meanings: these solutions can be combined with other solutions in a suitable manner to form new technical solutions.
[0199] Unless otherwise specified, the term "solid-state battery" in this application refers to a battery in which the electrolyte includes a solid electrolyte. Typically, a solid-state battery includes a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode layer. During charging and discharging, active ions repeatedly insert and extract between the positive and negative electrode layers. The solid electrolyte layer acts as a conductor of ions between the positive and negative electrode layers and also isolates them, preventing short circuits. Therefore, solid-state batteries do not require the separator found in traditional lithium-ion batteries. The introduction of a non-flammable solid electrolyte in solid-state batteries, replacing the organic electrolyte in traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries, significantly improves battery safety. In addition to enhanced safety, solid-state batteries are better suited for high-energy-density positive and negative electrode materials and reduce system weight, thus facilitating improvements in energy density.
[0200] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "solid electrolyte" refers to an electrolyte material or substance that exists in solid form during the storage and fabrication of solid-state batteries and their components, as well as during the operation of solid-state batteries. This includes, but is not limited to, solid electrolytes existing in solid form at room temperature.
[0201] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the electrode layer can be a positive electrode layer or a negative electrode layer, and the electrode layer includes electrode active materials. The electrode active materials can be positive electrode active materials or negative electrode active materials. The electrode active materials can be particulate matter themselves or contained within electrode active particles. The electrode active particles can be positive electrode active particles or negative electrode active particles. "Electrode active material" in the electrode layer refers to a material capable of reversibly inserting and extracting active ions. Unless otherwise specified, "negative electrode active material" refers to a material used in the negative electrode layer capable of reversibly inserting and extracting active ions; "positive electrode active material" refers to a material used in the positive electrode layer capable of reversibly extracting and inserting active ions. When the solid-state battery is charged, active ions are extracted from the positive electrode, pass through the solid electrolyte layer, and insert into the negative electrode; while when the solid-state battery is discharged, active ions are extracted from the negative electrode and insert into the positive electrode. The active ions are not particularly limited or restrictive; they can be lithium ions, corresponding to a lithium-ion solid-state battery.
[0202] In this application, "electrode active particles" refers to particles containing electrode active substances.
[0203] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "electrode active material layer" includes at least one of the positive electrode active material layer in the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode layer. Depending on the specific circumstances, the electrode active material layer may refer to either the positive electrode active material layer or the negative electrode active material layer. It is understood that the positive electrode active material layer contains a positive electrode active substance, and the negative electrode active material layer contains a negative electrode active substance. In this application, "electrode active material layer" may also be abbreviated as "active material layer".
[0204] In this application, the terms "first," "second," "first adhesive," "second adhesive," "first solid electrolyte," and "second solid electrolyte," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or quantity, nor should they be construed as implicitly indicating the importance or quantity of the indicated technical features. Moreover, "first," "second," etc., serve only as a non-exhaustive enumeration and should be understood not to constitute a closed limitation on quantity.
[0205] Among numerous solid electrolyte materials, sulfide solid electrolytes stand out due to their extremely high ionic conductivity (e.g., up to approximately 10). -3 ~10 - 2 Sulfide solid electrolytes possess excellent mechanical properties, such as good flexibility, which gives them superior ion conduction and deformation capabilities, making them one of the most promising solid electrolyte materials for practical application and industrialization. However, the chemical stability in aqueous atmospheres is one of the most serious problems facing sulfide solid electrolytes. Water in the air reacts with sulfides to produce highly toxic and harmful hydrogen sulfide gas, further accelerating the degradation of sulfides and severely restricting the practical application of sulfide solid electrolytes.
[0206] Based on this, according to various embodiments and examples of this application, this application provides a solid electrolyte membrane, an electrolyte electrode, a solid-state battery, a preparation method, and an electrical device, and further provides a solid electrolyte membrane and its preparation method, an electrolyte electrode, a solid-state battery and its preparation method, and an electrical device. The hydrogen sulfide release from this solid electrolyte membrane, electrolyte electrode, and solid-state battery in an aqueous environment is significantly reduced.
[0207] In some embodiments, the solid electrolyte membrane includes a first electrolyte layer comprising a sulfide solid electrolyte and a binder, the binder comprising a first binder with low water absorption (e.g., water absorption ≤ 0.1%). The electrolyte electrode comprises an electrode body and a solid electrolyte membrane located on at least one side of the electrode body, or comprises an electrode body and a first electrolyte layer located on at least one side of the electrode body. The solid-state battery comprises at least one of a first electrolyte layer, a solid electrolyte membrane, and an electrolyte electrode. The solid electrolyte membrane, electrolyte electrode, and solid-state battery exhibit significantly reduced hydrogen sulfide release in aqueous environments.
[0208] In some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, a solid electrolyte membrane is provided, which includes a first electrolyte layer, the first electrolyte layer including a sulfide solid electrolyte and a binder (which may be referred to as a first layer binder), the binder (i.e. the first layer binder) including a first binder;
[0209] Furthermore, the first adhesive may satisfy one or more of the following characteristics:
[0210] (t1) The water absorption rate of the first adhesive is ≤0.1%;
[0211] (t2) The first binder includes a cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, wherein the monomer units of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units, and the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes a cyclic structure provided by the cyclic olefin monomer units.
[0212] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the binder included in the first electrolyte layer may be referred to as "first layer binder".
[0213] In some embodiments, a solid electrolyte membrane is provided, comprising a first electrolyte layer, the first electrolyte layer comprising a first solid electrolyte and a first binder layer; wherein the first solid electrolyte comprises a sulfide solid electrolyte; the first binder layer comprises a first binder, optionally having a water absorption rate of less than or equal to 0.1%.
[0214] In some embodiments, the first binder comprises a cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, wherein the monomer units of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units, and the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes a cyclic structure provided by the cyclic olefin monomer units.
[0215] In some embodiments, a solid electrolyte membrane is provided, comprising a first electrolyte layer, the first electrolyte layer comprising a sulfide solid electrolyte and a first binder layer, the first binder layer comprising a first adhesive.
[0216] The first binder includes a cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, wherein the monomer units of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units, and the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes a cyclic structure provided by the cyclic olefin monomer units.
[0217] In this application, the "first adhesive" is an adhesive with low water absorption, which may have a water absorption rate of ≤0.1%. The first adhesive may include cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers with low water absorption, for example, cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers with a water absorption rate of ≤0.1%.
[0218] Unless otherwise specified in this application, the water absorption rate of the adhesive can be tested using the following method: Water absorption rate of adhesive materials is tested using the specific gravity method according to national standard GB / T 1037. More specifically, the following method can be used for testing:
[0219] (1) Weigh and record the actual mass M1 of the absorbent paper, and then put it into the drying room; after standing for a period of time (e.g., more than or equal to 2 hours), weigh the mass of the adhesive material and record it as M2;
[0220] (2) Centrifuge for 5 minutes to remove surface moisture from the material. The rotation speed is greater than or equal to 1000 rpm, for example, 1000 rpm to 1500 rpm.
[0221] (3) Take out the absorbent paper and record its actual mass, weigh it together with the adhesive and record the mass M3;
[0222] (4) Calculate the water absorption rate (ω) according to the following formula: ω=(M1+M3-M2) / M2.
[0223] In this application, the test of the water absorption rate of the adhesive is conducted at a temperature in the range of 20°C to 30°C, for example, 23±2°C, unless otherwise specified.
[0224] In this application, the test temperature for the water absorption rate of the adhesive is described as "the water absorption rate of the first adhesive is ≤0.1% at 23±2℃". As long as a temperature exists within the range of 23±2℃, it is acceptable to measure the water absorption rate of the first adhesive as ≤0.1%. "23±2℃" means that the temperature can be controlled at any temperature between 21℃ and 25℃.
[0225] Those skilled in the art can identify the types and structures of components in solid-state batteries using one or more of the following detection methods, including but not limited to: Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. 1 H NMR (1H NMR) method, carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy 13Methods include C10 NMR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Non-limitingly, one or more of the following methods can be used to analyze the type, structure, and molecular weight of the binder components in solid-state batteries: Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and so on. 1 H NMR (1H NMR) method, carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy 13 Methods include C NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) or micro-quotient thermogravimetric analysis (DTG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA), and viscosity testing. The sample preparation and testing methods for these methods are known to those skilled in the art, and the test parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to the sample characteristics.
[0226] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer" refers to a copolymer comprising at least two monomer units, including both cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units, wherein the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes a cyclic structure provided by the cyclic olefin monomer units. This copolymer can be an addition copolymer of the corresponding cyclic olefin monomer and a monomer containing an α-olefin group, and can be prepared through an addition copolymerization reaction of the corresponding monomers. In the addition copolymer composed of cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units, the cyclic structure of the cyclic olefin monomer is retained in the main chain of the copolymer, resulting in the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer including a cyclic structure provided by the cyclic olefin monomer units. In the solid state, the chain backbone of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer facilitates the formation of an ordered and closely packed structure, which helps reduce the voids where water molecules can enter, making it difficult for water molecules to penetrate, thereby giving the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer a low water absorption rate. Furthermore, for addition copolymers, the chain skeleton of cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers can be a carbon skeleton, that is, it can be composed of carbon atoms. Therefore, the carbon skeleton may not contain functional groups that have strong interactions with water, which is also beneficial to reducing the water absorption rate of olefin / chain olefin copolymers.
[0227] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the “chain skeleton” of a cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer refers to the chain structure formed by the copolymerization reaction of reactive carbon-carbon double bonds in each monomer, which connects the monomers through carbon atoms at the reaction sites.

[0230] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "divalent group" refers to a group having two covalent linkage sites.
[0231] By introducing a first binder with low water absorption rate into the solid electrolyte membrane containing a sulfide solid electrolyte, the absorption of water by the solid electrolyte membrane can be reduced, the probability of contact reaction between the sulfide solid electrolyte and water can be decreased, and the decomposition of the sulfide solid electrolyte can be reduced or inhibited, thus significantly reducing the amount of hydrogen sulfide released by the solid electrolyte membrane in an aqueous environment (such as air). Furthermore, the amount of hydrogen sulfide released by the electrolyte electrode and solid-state battery prepared based on this solid electrolyte membrane in an aqueous environment (such as air) can be correspondingly reduced.
[0232] On the other hand, as the probability of contact reaction between sulfide solid electrolyte and water decreases, the material stability of sulfide solid electrolyte can be improved, which is conducive to giving full play to the fast ion conduction characteristics of sulfide solid electrolyte and maintaining good ionic conductivity of solid electrolyte membrane.
[0233] On the other hand, as the probability of contact reaction between sulfide solid electrolyte and water decreases, the stability of related materials in electrolyte electrodes and solid-state batteries, including the solid electrolyte membrane, is also improved, which can improve the electrochemical performance stability of solid-state batteries.
[0234] On the other hand, when using a solid electrolyte membrane to prepare a solid-state battery, it may be difficult to avoid contact with moisture in the air during operation. When using the aforementioned solid electrolyte membrane, which includes a first electrolyte layer, to prepare a solid-state battery, the probability of degradation of sulfide solid electrolyte during operation can be reduced, the air stability of the solid electrolyte membrane, electrolyte electrode and solid-state battery can be improved, and the quality stability of the solid-state battery can be improved.

[0281] In this application, the terms "molecular weight," "average molecular weight," "weight-average molecular weight," "relative atomic mass," or "relative molecular mass" used to refer to adhesives or polymers, unless otherwise specified, refer to molecular mass measured in Daltons (Da), where 1 Dalton equals... 12 One-twelfth the mass of a carbon atom. 1 kDa = 1000 Da.
[0282] In this application, "weight-average molecular weight" has a well-known meaning in the polymer field, which is the sum of the weight fraction of molecules of different molecular weights multiplied by their corresponding molecular weights.
[0283] The molecular weight of polymers (such as adhesives) can be obtained using conventional methods in the polymer field, such as gel permeation chromatography (GPC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and mass spectrometry.
[0284] By adjusting one or more parameters, such as the type and size of the rings in the cyclic olefin monomer unit, the number of carbon atoms in the chain olefin monomer unit, the mole fraction of the cyclic olefin monomer unit, the mass fraction of the cyclic olefin monomer unit, the mole fraction of the chain olefin monomer unit, the mass fraction of the chain olefin monomer unit, and the weight-average molecular weight of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, one or more of the following can be adjusted: the flexibility or rigidity of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer, the viscosity of the electrolyte slurry, and the dispersing effect on sulfide solid electrolytes. As a non-limiting example, increasing the content of cyclic olefin monomer units can increase molecular rigidity, increasing the content of chain olefin monomer units can increase molecular flexibility, increasing the weight-average molecular weight can increase the viscosity of the electrolyte slurry, and adjusting the adhesion and dielectric constant can regulate the dispersing effect on sulfide solid electrolytes.
[0285] On the other hand, the water absorption characteristics of cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers can be adjusted by regulating the ratio between cyclic olefin monomer units and chain olefin monomer units. The higher the proportion of cyclic olefin monomer units, the more beneficial it is to reduce the water absorption rate.
[0286] When the side groups of the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer include fluorinated groups (such as fluorinated aliphatic chains, or even fluorinated alkyl chains), it is beneficial to improve the fluidity of the slurry and further improve the dispersion uniformity of the slurry.
[0287] By adjusting one or more of the aforementioned parameters within the aforementioned range, it is more beneficial to improve at least one of the following items: low water absorption of cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers, material stability of sulfide solid electrolytes, dispersion stability of electrolyte slurry, coating uniformity of electrolyte slurry, and dispersion uniformity of electrolyte slurry.
[0288] In some embodiments, the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer includes one or more of (ethylene-cyclopentene) copolymers, (ethylene-norbornene) random copolymers, and (ethylene-norbornene) alternating copolymers.
[0289] The water absorption rate of (ethylene-cyclopentene) copolymer, (ethylene-norbornene) random copolymer and (ethylene-norbornene) alternating copolymer can be controlled within the range of 0.01% to 0.1%.
[0290] The aforementioned types of cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers can better control at least one of the following: the low water absorption characteristics of cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers, the material stability of sulfide solid electrolytes, the dispersion stability of electrolyte slurries, the coating uniformity of electrolyte slurries, and the dispersion uniformity of electrolyte slurries.
[0291] In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the first adhesive is less than or equal to 0.1%, optionally less than or equal to 0.05%; further optionally, the water absorption rate of the first adhesive is less than or equal to 0.02%; and even more optionally, the water absorption rate of the first adhesive is less than or equal to 0.01%.
[0292] Non-limitingly, the water absorption rate of the first adhesive may also be any of the following percentages, or less than or equal to any of the following percentages, or selected from a range consisting of any two of the following percentages: 0.1%, 0.09%, 0.08%, 0.07%, 0.06%, 0.05%, 0.04%, 0.03%, 0.02%, 0.01%, 0.006%, 0.005%, 0.004%, 0.002%, 0.001%, 0.0005%, 0.0001%, etc.
[0293] By controlling the water absorption rate of the first binder within the aforementioned range, the water absorption of the solid electrolyte membrane can be further reduced, which is more conducive to reducing or inhibiting the decomposition of sulfide solid electrolytes and can better reduce the release of hydrogen sulfide from solid electrolyte membranes, electrolyte electrodes and solid batteries in water-containing environments (such as air).
[0294] On the other hand, by controlling the water absorption rate of the first binder within the aforementioned range, it is more conducive to suppressing the decomposition of sulfides, more conducive to improving the material stability of sulfide solid electrolytes, and more conducive to maintaining good ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte membrane; furthermore, it is more conducive to improving the electrochemical performance stability of solid-state batteries.
[0295] On the other hand, by controlling the water absorption rate of the first binder within the aforementioned range, it is more beneficial to reduce the degradation probability of the sulfide solid electrolyte during the preparation of solid-state batteries using a solid electrolyte membrane including the first electrolyte layer. This is beneficial to further improve the air stability of the solid electrolyte membrane, electrolyte electrode and solid-state battery, and can improve the quality stability of solid-state batteries.
[0296] Non-limitingly, in the first electrolyte layer, the weight percentage of the first binder in the first layer binder can be 15% to 100%, optionally 40% to 95%, further optionally 40% to 90%, even more preferably 50% to 75%, and can also be any of the following percentages or a range selected from any two of the following percentages: 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%, etc. Non-limitingly, the weight percentage of the first binder in the first layer binder can also be selected from any suitable range of the following: 15% to 95%, 15% to 90%, 30% to 95%, 30% to 90%, 40% to 90%, 40% to 75%, etc.

[0298] Non-limitingly, the weight percentage of the sulfide solid electrolyte in the first electrolyte layer may be 94% to 99.5%, optionally 95% to 98%, or any of the following percentages or a range selected from any two of the following percentages: 94%, 94.5%, 95%, 95.5%, 96%, 96.5%, 97%, 97.5%, 98%, 98.5%, 99%, 99.5%, etc.
[0299] In some embodiments, the first electrolyte layer satisfies one or more of the following characteristics (any numerical parameter of the following characteristics may also be selected from any suitable value or range in the context):
[0300] The first adhesive has a weight percentage of 15% to 100% in the first layer of adhesive, optionally 40% to 95%, further optionally 40% to 90%, and even more preferably 50% to 75%;
[0301] The first binder comprises 0.3% to 6% by weight in the first electrolyte layer, optionally 0.3% to 4%, and further optionally 0.5% to 2%.
[0302] The sulfide solid electrolyte has a weight percentage of 94% to 99.5% in the first electrolyte layer, and can be optionally 95% to 98%.
[0303] In some embodiments, the first electrolyte layer satisfies one or more of the following characteristics (any numerical parameter of the following characteristics may also be selected from any suitable value or range in the context):
[0304] The weight percentage of the first adhesive in the first layer of adhesive is 25% to 75%;
[0305] The weight percentage of the first binder in the first electrolyte layer is 0.5% to 2%;
[0306] The sulfide solid electrolyte accounts for 95% to 98% by weight in the first electrolyte layer.
[0307] By controlling one or more parameters among the following within the aforementioned ranges—the weight percentage of the first binder in the first layer of binder, the weight percentage of the first binder in the first electrolyte layer, and the weight percentage of the sulfide solid electrolyte in the first electrolyte layer—it is advantageous to reduce hydrogen sulfide release, improve the material stability of the sulfide solid electrolyte, and also enable the solid electrolyte membrane to have higher ionic conductivity.
[0308] In some embodiments, the first electrolyte layer further includes a second binder having a water absorption rate greater than or equal to 0.5%, optionally greater than or equal to 1%, further optionally greater than or equal to 2%, and further optionally greater than or equal to 5%.
[0309] Non-limitingly, the water absorption rate of the second adhesive may also be any of the following percentages, or greater than or equal to any of the following percentages, or greater than or equal to any of the following percentages and less than or equal to 10%, or selected from the range of any two of the following percentages: 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, etc.
[0310] In some embodiments, the first electrolyte layer includes a first adhesive and a second adhesive. Non-limitingly, the second adhesive may include one or more of nitrile rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, natural rubber, etherified cellulose, polymethyl methacrylate, polyethylene oxide methyl vinyl silicone rubber, and derivatives of any of the foregoing. It is understood that derivatives of any of the foregoing still fall within the scope of the second adhesive. For example, the water absorption rate of the derivative may be ≥0.5%, optionally greater than or equal to 1%, further optionally greater than or equal to 2%, and may also be any of the following percentages, or greater than or equal to any of the following percentages, or selected from any two of the following percentages: 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, etc.
[0311] In this application, the "second adhesive" is an adhesive with a higher water absorption rate than the first adhesive. For example, the water absorption rate of the second adhesive may be ≥0.5%, optionally greater than or equal to 1%, further optionally greater than or equal to 2%, and may also be any of the following percentages, or greater than or equal to any of the following percentages, or selected from any two of the following percentages: 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, etc.
[0312] In some embodiments, the second adhesive may include at least one selected from nitrile rubber and nitrile rubber derivatives, wherein the nitrile rubber derivative may include hydrogenated nitrile rubber. In some embodiments, the second adhesive may be selected from at least one selected from nitrile rubber and nitrile rubber derivatives, wherein the nitrile rubber derivative may be hydrogenated nitrile rubber.
[0313] Typically, the water absorption rate of nitrile rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, natural rubber, etherified cellulose, polymethyl methacrylate, and polyethylene oxide methyl vinyl silicone rubber can be 0.5% to 10%.
[0314] By incorporating the aforementioned type of second binder into the first electrolyte layer, it is beneficial to reduce hydrogen sulfide release and improve the material stability of the sulfide solid electrolyte. Simultaneously, it allows for better control of the dispersion uniformity, dispersion stability, and coating uniformity of the slurry system in the first electrolyte layer. This, in turn, improves the component distribution uniformity of the first electrolyte layer and the uniformity and stability of the electrical contact network. From this perspective, it is beneficial to improve the electrochemical performance of solid-state batteries, such as, but not limited to, improving their cycle performance. Furthermore, utilizing the excellent low water absorption characteristics provided by the first binder can significantly reduce the water absorption problems that are easily caused by introducing the second binder, greatly suppressing the battery performance degradation that may result from water absorption by the first binder. The synergistic effect between the first and second binders can further improve the component dispersion uniformity and material stability of the solid electrolyte membrane, allowing the second binder to better enhance the electrochemical performance of the solid-state battery.
[0315] Taking nitrile rubber (NBR) as an example, NBR has good film-forming properties as a binder material; however, it has a relatively high water absorption rate (e.g., about 0.5%). When solid electrolyte membranes containing NBR and sulfide solid electrolytes are exposed to air, a large amount of toxic hydrogen sulfide gas is released, further accelerating the degradation of sulfides and reducing the ionic conductivity of the sulfide solid electrolyte, affecting the electrochemical performance of the subsequently fabricated solid-state battery.

[0558] Taking the preparation of addition-type cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymers (norbornene-ethylene copolymers) using cyclic olefin monomers as norbornene and monomers containing α-alkenyl groups as monomers as examples, their general structural formula can be represented as follows: m and n are integers, and the m:n ratio can be controlled by adjusting the feed ratio of the two monomers. A high-pressure stainless steel reactor is used, and the copolymerization reaction is carried out under anhydrous and oxygen-free conditions and an argon atmosphere. α-Diimine nickel catalyst can be selected as the main catalyst, with methylaluminoxane (MAO) as the co-catalyst, and chlorobenzene as the reaction solvent. The aluminum-nickel ratio of the co-catalyst to the main catalyst is controlled at 1200–1500, the reaction pressure at 0.4 MPa–0.6 MPa, the reaction temperature at 60℃–80℃, and the reaction time at 0.5–2 h. At the end of the reaction, the polymerization reaction can be terminated by acidifying with ethanol.
[0559] The structure of the α-diimine nickel catalyst is as follows: Wherein, R1 is -PhCH2OH, Ph is phenylene, and R2 isopropyl.
[0560] The norbornene-ethylene copolymer used in the following examples was copolymerized using the following method: Under argon protection, the reaction solvent, norbornene solution, and co-catalyst were added sequentially, stirred for 5 minutes to mix, then the main catalyst solution was added, ethylene was rapidly introduced, and the pressure inside the reactor was controlled to reach a suitable reaction pressure. Stirring was started, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for a certain time. At the end of the reaction, the ethylene supply was stopped, the temperature was lowered, the pressure was released, and the reaction mixture was added to 10% (v / v) acidified ethanol (acidified with hydrochloric acid). Stirring was used to terminate the polymerization reaction. The mixture was filtered, the solid phase was collected, and washed repeatedly with distilled water and anhydrous ethanol (at least 3 times, such as 3-5 times). The mixture was then filtered again and dried in an oven at 60°C. The amount of α-diimine nickel catalyst was controlled to ensure that the Ni content in the reaction solution was 5 μmol, the aluminum-nickel ratio was 1500, the reaction pressure was 0.5 MPa, the reaction temperature was 70°C, and the reaction time was approximately 1.5-2 hours. The content of norbornene units in the copolymer can be controlled by adjusting the amount of norbornene added; increasing the amount of norbornene added can increase the content of norbornene units.

Based on... 13 The C1 / C1 NMR spectrum was analyzed to determine whether the relevant characteristic peaks in equation (I) appeared in the chemical shift range of 10-60 ppm: C2 / C3 chemical shifts were 44.7-57.2 ppm, C1 / C4 chemical shifts were 36.8-44.1 ppm, and C7 chemical shifts were 32.9-36.5 ppm; C5 / C6 and C1 / C1 / C2 / C3 chemical shifts were 32.9-36.5 ppm. α / C β The chemical shift is 26.8-32.8 ppm. Further, according to... 13 The m:n ratio is calculated by the integral area ratio of each characteristic peak in the C NMR spectrum. The molecular weight information of the copolymer, including weight-average molecular weight and number-average molecular weight, is confirmed by GPC testing. Based on this, the values of m and n, and the m:n ratio, are estimated.
[0562] The FT-IR test used the potassium bromide pellet method, with a scanning range of 4000–400 cm⁻¹. -1 . 13 C10 NMR was performed using deuterated o-dichlorobenzene as the solvent at a temperature of 120°C. GPC was performed using 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene as the solvent at a temperature of 140°C.
[0563] The molar fraction f1 (mol%) of the norbornene monomer unit in the cyclic olefin / chain olefin copolymer of formula (I) obtained by copolymerization of norbornene and ethylene can be calculated using the following formula: f1 (mol%) = [(A+B+2C) / 3D]×100%. Where A represents the integral area of C1 / C4 of the copolymer in the carbon NMR spectrum, B represents the integral area of C2 / C3 of the copolymer in the carbon NMR spectrum, C represents the integral area of C7 of the copolymer in the carbon NMR spectrum, and D represents the carbon atoms of C5 / C6 and the methylene group of the ethylene unit in the copolymer. α / C β The integrated area in the carbon NMR spectrum.

The dielectric constant of p-xylene is approximately 2.25, and the dielectric constant of pseudotrimethylbenzene is approximately 2.3.

The composite positive electrode material forms the positive electrode layer, the solid electrolyte membrane in the electrolyte negative electrode sheet provides the first electrolyte layer, and the negative electrode sheet in the electrolyte negative electrode sheet provides the negative electrode layer.
[0619] Comparative Example 3. A solid-state battery was prepared using a method essentially the same as that in Example 1, except that the negative electrode sheet (excluding the first electrolyte layer) from Example J1 was used instead of the electrolyte negative electrode sheet, that is, the first electrolyte layer was omitted.
[0620] (1) Preparation of composite cathode materials:
[0621] LiNi 0.83 NiCo 0.12 Mn 0.05 O2 cathode, Li6PS5Cl sulfide electrolyte and binder VGCF (vapor-grown carbon fiber) are weighed in a mass ratio of 70:27.5:2.5, ground in a mortar for 30 minutes and mixed evenly to be used as composite cathode material.
[0622] (2) The negative electrode sheet without the first electrolyte layer in Example J1 is used.
[0623] The negative electrode active material, silicon-carbon composite material, binder, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and N-methylpyrrolidone were uniformly mixed at a mass ratio of 97:3:100 and coated onto both sides of a copper foil. After cold pressing, the negative electrode sheet was obtained. The silicon-carbon composite material consists of a porous carbon matrix and nano-elemental silicon located within the pores of the porous carbon matrix, with a silicon:carbon mass ratio of 1:1.
[0624] (3) Battery assembly:
[0625] The composite positive electrode material, solid electrolyte powder, and negative electrode sheet are placed in the assembly mold in that order to assemble a solid-state battery.
[0626] In detail: 100 mg of sulfide electrolyte Li6PS5Cl powder was weighed and added to a battery mold. The mold was pressurized at 350 MPa for 5 minutes to obtain a solid electrolyte sheet (providing the second electrolyte layer). Then, a composite positive electrode material was placed on one side of the solid electrolyte sheet, and a negative electrode sheet was placed on the other side to assemble an all-solid-state battery. The composite positive electrode material forms the positive electrode layer, the solid electrolyte sheet provides the solid electrolyte layer, and the negative electrode sheet provides the negative electrode layer.
[0627] Comparative Example 4: No first electrolyte layer, but the total thickness of the solid electrolyte layer remains basically unchanged.
[0628] Solid-state batteries were prepared using a method essentially the same as that used in Comparative Example 3. The difference was that, in the battery assembly steps, the amount of sulfide electrolyte Li6PS5Cl powder used in the second electrolyte layer was adjusted, and the resulting second electrolyte layer was treated as a solid electrolyte layer. The total thickness of the solid electrolyte layer was essentially the same as the sum of the thicknesses of the first and second electrolyte layers in Example 1.
[0629] The types and amounts of binders used in the electrolyte slurry in each embodiment can also be found in Table 1.
[0630] Table 1.
[0631] (iv) Test and Analysis Methods
[0632] 1. Peel strength test of the first electrolyte layer
[0633] Samples to be tested: solid electrolyte membrane formed by forming the first electrolyte layer on aluminum foil, electrolyte negative electrode sheet, solid-state battery.
[0634] Instrument: Instron 3365 tensile testing machine.
[0635] Taking the solid electrolyte membrane and electrolyte negative electrode sheet prepared in each example as examples, the coating surface of the first electrolyte layer formed on the film-forming substrate (aluminum foil or negative electrode active material layer) is attached to a standard test plate, the peel angle is adjusted to 180°, and a tensile testing machine is used to peel it at 180°. The peel force values of 50 points are obtained in the test distance of 50mm to 120mm and the average value is calculated as the test value of "peel strength" between the first electrolyte layer and the film-forming substrate.
[0636] The greater the peel strength, the higher the film-forming strength of the first electrolyte layer, and the greater the adhesion strength of the first electrolyte layer on the film-forming substrate, and the better the interfacial stability between the first electrolyte layer and the film-forming substrate.
[0637] The test results can be found in Table 2.
[0638] When the sample to be tested is a solid-state battery, the peel strength between the negative electrode layer and the solid electrolyte layer is measured.
[0639] 2. Hydrogen sulfide release test
[0640] Test membranes: solid electrolyte membrane and electrolyte negative electrode sheet with aluminum foil as substrate.
[0641] The test membrane was evenly spread in a petri dish at a dew point of -55°C. The petri dish containing the test membrane was then placed in a 50L chamber using a sealed transfer box. The sealed transfer box containing the test membrane and petri dish was quickly opened, and the 50L chamber was then sealed. A hydrogen sulfide sensor (PGM-2500) was placed inside the chamber to record the cumulative value of hydrogen sulfide in the 50L chamber in real time. The reaction continued until the detection value of the hydrogen sulfide sensor stopped increasing, indicating that the sulfide electrolyte had completely reacted with the water molecules in the chamber. An 8cm diameter fan was placed inside the chamber. Since the density of hydrogen sulfide is greater than that of air, the airflow provided by the fan prevented hydrogen sulfide gas from settling and ensured a uniform distribution of hydrogen sulfide gas within the 50L chamber, improving the reliability of the hydrogen sulfide gas concentration test. Before the test, the 50L chamber was kept in an environment with a relative humidity of 70% RH.
[0642] 3. Ionic conductivity test
[0643] Test membranes: solid electrolyte membrane and electrolyte negative electrode sheet with aluminum foil as substrate.
[0644] The determination was performed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The detailed procedure was as follows: the membrane to be tested was placed on a 10 mm diameter die, clamped at 180 MPa, and then the current collector (Al foil) was connected to the electrochemical workstation at a bias voltage of 10 mV and a frequency range of 10... 6 Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed on the membrane under test in the range of Hz to 10Hz. The intersection point of the electrochemical impedance spectrum curve from the high frequency band to the low frequency band with the Z' axis was recorded as the resistance value R. The ionic conductivity σ could be calculated using formula (1):
[0645] Where d is the thickness of the membrane under test, and A is the contact area between the electrolyte sheet and the current collector. The thickness of the membrane under test includes the thickness of the film-forming substrate (aluminum foil or negative electrode sheet).
[0646] 4. Battery performance test
[0647] The battery was tested using a constant current charge-discharge mode at room temperature (25±3℃). The solid-state battery under test was first charged and discharged at a constant current of 0.1C for 3 cycles to obtain the initial capacity C1 of the battery. Then, it was charged and discharged at 0.33C for 200 cycles, and the cycle capacity retention rate of the battery was calculated. The capacity retention rate of the nth cycle = Cn / C1×100%, where n is a positive integer.
[0648] Battery testing window is 2.0V-4.3V vs. Li + / Li (Li potential, active ion is Li) + ), where 1C = 200mA / g.
[0649] The test results can be found in Table 3, "Capacity retention rate after 200 cycles (0.33C)".
[0650] Test Results and Analysis
[0651] In Examples 1-13, a first binder with low water absorption was introduced into the electrolyte slurry. Compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which did not have a first binder with low water absorption, the hydrogen sulfide release in the solid electrolyte membranes prepared in Examples M1-M12 and the electrolyte negative electrode sheets prepared in Examples J1-J13 was significantly reduced. Furthermore, they all exhibited better ionic conductivity. See Tables 2 and 3 for details. In addition, the first electrode layer (negative electrode layer) and the solid electrolyte layer in the solid-state batteries prepared in Examples 1-13 showed good adhesion strength. In the electrolyte negative electrode sheets prepared in Examples J1-J13, the first electrolyte layer exhibited high peel strength relative to the negative electrode active material layer. Correspondingly, in the solid-state batteries, the first electrolyte layer exhibited high adhesion strength relative to the negative electrode layer, providing a stable negative electrode layer / solid electrolyte layer interface. All solid-state batteries prepared in Examples 1-13 exhibited good cycle performance and high cycle capacity retention.
[0652] Furthermore, in comparative examples j3 and j4, omitting the first electrolyte layer reduced the adhesion strength between the negative electrode layer and the solid electrolyte layer, resulting in a decrease in cycle performance.
