Solution Overview

Problem

All-solid state secondary batteries face performance deterioration due to repeated vibration during manufacturing processes, particularly in industrial methods like roll-to-roll manufacturing, as the adhesive forces between solid particles and the collector are not sufficient, leading to a collapse of the adhesion state.

Innovation Solution

The electrode sheet for all-solid state secondary batteries is designed with a specific distribution of carbon-containing materials and polymer binders, ensuring that the area ratios of these materials satisfy certain expressions, thereby strengthening particle and interlayer adhesive forces, even under repeated vibration.

1Strength

If a polymer binder is used to strengthen particle adhesive force and interlayer adhesive force, then adhesion strength is improved, but the adhesive force deteriorates under repeated vibration

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the binder by specifying precise proportions of different polymer types (polyacrylic acid: 5-30 parts, carboxymethyl cellulose: 5-30 parts, styrene-butadiene rubber: 5-30 parts) relative to 100 parts of inorganic solid electrolyte. This multi-component polymer system with controlled ratios maintains strong adhesion while resisting vibration-induced deterioration.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite binder system combining three different polymer types with complementary properties: polyacrylic acid for chemical bonding, carboxymethyl cellulose for structural integrity, and styrene-butadiene rubber for elasticity and vibration resistance. This composite approach achieves both strong initial adhesion and sustained performance under vibration.

2Quantity of substance

If solid particles are used to form the active material layer, then energy density is improved, but particle adhesive force and interlayer adhesive force are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a specifically formulated polymer binder as an intermediary substance between the inorganic solid electrolyte particles and the collector. This binder mediates the interface, providing sufficient adhesive force to hold the high-density solid particle structure together and attach it to the collector without compromising energy density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the binder content parameter, specifying 5-30 parts of polymer binder per 100 parts of inorganic solid electrolyte. This controlled parameter ensures enough binder to maintain particle adhesion and interlayer strength while minimizing binder volume to preserve the high energy density characteristic of solid-state batteries.
