Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional lithium-ion batteries using flammable organic solvents as electrolytes pose safety risks, and all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries face challenges in matching electrode materials with solid-state electrolytes to reduce interface impedance and ensure stability, while also dealing with high costs and poor rate performance and cycle life.

Innovation Solution

A composite positive electrode plate is developed, comprising a positive electrode active material and a halide solid-state electrolyte with a chemical formula of Li2+aZr1−aFeaCl6−x−yBrxIy, where 0<a≤0.5, x=0 to 6, y=0 to 6, x+y≤6, and a compaction density of 2.8 g/cm3 to 3.4 g/cm3, which enhances the rate performance and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries.
