technical field
[One]
This patent application claims priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0113061 filed on September 11, 2019. The present invention relates to an electrolyte membrane for an all-solid-state battery with improved thermal stability and shutdown function, and an all-solid-state battery including the electrolyte membrane.
[2]
background
[3]
When a lithium ion battery using a liquid electrolyte is deformed by an impact or external environment, the liquid electrolyte may leak to the outside of the battery or the electrolyte may be burned due to a short circuit, which may lead to a risk of overheating or explosion. Therefore, it can be said that the development of a solid electrolyte capable of securing safety in the field of lithium ion secondary batteries is a very important task.
[4]
A lithium secondary battery using a solid electrolyte has advantages in that battery safety is increased, electrolyte leakage can be prevented, so battery reliability is improved, and a thin battery can be easily manufactured. In addition, since lithium metal can be used as the negative electrode, energy density can be improved. Accordingly, it is expected to be applied to small secondary batteries and high-capacity secondary batteries for electric vehicles, and thus it is in the spotlight as a next-generation battery.
[5]
As the solid electrolyte material, a polymer-based solid electrolyte, an oxide-based solid electrolyte, and a sulfide-based solid electrolyte material are generally used. When a free standing type electrolyte membrane of a thin film is manufactured using only such a solid electrolyte material, defects such as tearing or cracking or the electrolyte material falling off may occur during battery manufacturing or use of the battery. In particular, when lithium metal is used as the negative electrode active material, there is a problem in that lithium dendrites grow from the surface of the negative electrode, and when the grown lithium dendrites come into contact with the positive electrode, a short circuit of the battery is caused. In an all-solid-state battery, a solid electrolyte membrane acts as an electrical insulator for positive/negative electrodes instead of a separator. In particular, when a polymer material is used as the solid electrolyte, the solid electrolyte membrane may be damaged due to the growth of lithium dendrites. When the electrolyte membrane is damaged in this way, current is collected in the damaged part, and rapid heat is generated, which causes ignition and explosion. In particular, in the case of a large-sized battery, since the amount of heat generated by a short circuit is large, there is a problem that the above-mentioned problem is highly likely to become serious. Accordingly, there is a demand for the development of an electrolyte membrane capable of rapidly performing a shutdown function in the event of a short circuit and a sudden rise in the internal temperature of the battery.

On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer material (A) may have a molecular weight (Mn) range of 1 kg / mol to 10,000 kg / mol, or 10 kg / mol to 1,000 kg / mol. Within the above range, the molecular weight is preferably 1 kg/mol or more or 10 kg/mol in terms of physical strength of the solid electrolyte membrane.

[76]
[77]
Also, in one embodiment of the present invention, the polymer material (A) preferably has a glass transition temperature (Tg) and/or a melting temperature (Tm) of 150° C. or less. When the melting temperature exceeds the above range, the polymer material (A) does not melt even when the internal temperature of the battery increases, so chain mobility is not implemented, and phase separation does not proceed, so it is difficult to achieve a desired effect.

Meanwhile, in terms of physical strength, the thickness may be 20 μm or more, or 30 μm or more, or 40 μm or more.
[80]
[81]
As described above, in the solid electrolyte membrane according to the present invention, the phase separation of the solid electrolyte material (B) and the polymer material (A) is induced as the temperature of the solid electrolyte membrane increases, in particular, as the temperature rises, so that the polymer in the solid electrolyte membrane An ion conduction blocking layer comprising material (A) is formed. That is, the polymer material (A) having low ionic conductivity contained in the solid electrolyte membrane is melted under a specific temperature condition to form an ion conduction blocking layer in the solid electrolyte membrane according to the phase separation behavior (see FIG. 1 ). The formation of the ion conduction blocking layer blocks the movement of ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so that the battery operation can be stopped. That is, since the operation of the battery is stopped when the temperature inside the battery is rapidly increased, it is possible to prevent further temperature increase or explosion of the battery due to the increase in temperature.
[82]
[83]
1 schematically shows a mechanism in which a barrier layer is formed according to the structure and phase separation of a solid electrolyte membrane according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, black arrows indicate the movement of lithium ions. Under a typical battery operating temperature, the polymer material (A) is randomly distributed in the solid electrolyte membrane, so that the transfer of lithium ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode is not hindered. Accordingly, the solid electrolyte membrane exhibits ionic conductivity resulting from the solid electrolyte material (B). On the other hand, when the internal temperature of the battery increases, the fluidity of the polymer material (A) and the solid electrolyte material (B) increases. In particular, when the solid electrolyte material (B) mainly contains a polymer-based solid electrolyte material, the solid electrolyte membrane is melted to phase-separate the polymer-based solid electrolyte material and the polymer material. As a result, the polymer material (A) can form a layered barrier layer in the solid electrolyte membrane, and ion conduction is blocked by the formation of the barrier layer. As schematically schematically shown in FIG. 1 , the barrier layer may be formed in a layered structure as shown in (a), (b) and (c) in the solid electrolyte membrane. The position of the blocking layer is shown by way of example and is not limited to the position shown in the drawings, and may be formed at any position based on the thickness of the solid electrolyte membrane. Alternatively, it may be formed at an arbitrary position based on the thickness of the solid electrolyte membrane by phase separation. Alternatively, the solid electrolyte membrane may be formed in a shape in which a polymer material surrounds the solid electrolyte material as shown in FIG. 1(d) by phase separation. On the other hand, when this phase separation occurs as illustrated in FIG.
[84]
[85]
The blocking layer refers to a shape in which the polymer material (A) is concentrated at a high concentration in a local area according to phase separation to suppress ion conduction, and is not limited to a specific shape. For example, the barrier layer may be formed in a layered structure on either surface of the solid electrolyte membrane or in the solid electrolyte membrane. Such a layered structure may be formed entirely at a certain depth or surface of the solid electrolyte membrane, or small droplets of molten polymers may be gathered to form a layer. 1 schematically shows various embodiments of a blocking layer. When the barrier layer is developed as the temperature of the battery rises, ion transfer is consequently blocked and the battery operation is stopped, so that the thermal stability of the battery is improved.
[86]
[87]
The solid electrolyte membrane according to the present invention may be manufactured, for example, by the following method, but is not particularly limited thereto. Specifically, the following description has been described using the polymer electrolyte (C) as the solid electrolyte material (B) as an example.
[88]
First, the polymer electrolyte (C) and the polymer material (A) are put in an appropriate solvent to prepare a polymer solution for manufacturing a solid electrolyte membrane. In one embodiment of the present invention, the lithium salt, the polymer resin (C2) and the polymer material (A) may be added to the solvent at the same time, or may be sequentially added at each time.
[89]
The concentration of the polymer solution may be appropriately adjusted to a degree necessary for uniform coating of the solid electrolyte membrane, and is not limited to a specific range. The solvent may be used without limitation as long as it can be removed through a subsequent drying process without changing the properties of the components to be input, and an appropriate one may be selected according to the input material used. For example, when using an alkylene oxide system such as polyethylene oxide (PEO) as the polymer resin (C2), acetonitrile may be used as the solvent. Next, the polymer solution is applied to a release sheet such as a terephthalate film and molded into a film having a predetermined thickness. For the application and molding, a known coating method such as a doctor blade may be used. Thereafter, the solvent is removed by drying to obtain a solid electrolyte membrane. On the other hand, in one specific embodiment of the present invention, the solid electrolyte membrane may further include a binder resin in the range of 10 wt% or less, if necessary.
[90]
[91]
In addition, the present invention provides an all-solid-state battery including the above-described solid electrolyte membrane. The all-solid-state battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a solid electrolyte membrane. In one embodiment of the present invention, the negative electrode may include lithium metal as an anode active material.
[92]
[93]
In the present invention, the positive electrode and the negative electrode may include a current collector and an electrode active material layer formed on a surface of the current collector, and the active material layer may include a plurality of electrode active material particles and a solid electrolyte material. In one embodiment of the present invention, the current collector itself may be applied as the negative electrode without forming an active material layer on the surface of the current collector when the negative electrode is manufactured. In addition, each of the electrodes may further include at least one of a conductive material and a binder resin, if necessary. In addition, the electrode may further include various additives for the purpose of supplementing or improving the physicochemical properties of the electrode.
