Description

NASICON type solid electrolyte, preparation method and application thereof, and secondary battery
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of solid electrolytes, in particular to a NASICON type solid electrolyte, a preparation method, application and a secondary battery thereof.
Background
The NASICON type solid electrolyte has ultrahigh ionic conductivity, has the advantages of stable structure, wide electrochemical window, environmental friendliness and the like, has a wide working temperature range, and is widely concerned by people in related fields. The development of the solid electrolyte can solve the potential safety hazard of the battery and is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the battery.
The main methods for preparing the solid electrolyte at present comprise a high-temperature solid phase method, a sol-gel method and the like, wherein the high-temperature solid phase method has the problems of poor precursor mixing effect, high required phase forming temperature, serious energy consumption and the like although the process is simple. In addition, in the preparation process of the solid electrolyte, the prior art generally uses a mechanical crushing or breaking method to process large particles with larger size into small particle materials. However, the existing operation mode may cause product pollution in the operation process, such as metal impurities introduced in the mechanical crushing process, and the solid electrolyte with a specific size is difficult to obtain by the mechanical crushing mode. In order to improve the performance of the battery, it is desired to reduce impurities in the solid electrolyte material and to highly crystallize and micronize the solid electrolyte material.
For example, a method for producing crystal grains of LTP or LATP, which comprises crystallizing LATP in zinc phosphate and removing zinc phosphate particles with an acid. The acid used is hydrochloric acid or nitric acid of high concentration. When the scheme is used for preparing the LATP, the preparation cost of the material is greatly increased by adding a large amount of zinc phosphate, increasing and reducing the temperature for many times and treating strong acid. And the use of strong acid treatment can damage the LATP material, reducing its performance as a solid electrolyte. Further, for example, a method for producing a solid electrolyte of NASICON type, which synthesizes a NASICON structural material using a large amount of alkali metal hydroxide as molten salt, and then washes off the hydroxide with water. The excess hydroxide in this solution is simply washed out later as molten salt, which increases the production costs. In addition, when sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is used as a molten salt, Na-NASICON material and K-NASICON material are contained in the product, which affects the lithium ion conductivity. There is thus a need for further improvements in the process for the preparation of NASICON-type solid electrolytes.
In view of this, it is desirable to find a simple, efficient and fast method capable of reducing the introduction of impurities and controlling the particle size to produce a NASICON-type solid electrolyte excellent in performance.

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, as the background art shows, the prior art has certain defects in the preparation of NASICON-type solid electrolytes, and the prior art generally uses mechanical crushing or pulverization methods to convert large particles into small particles, which causes problems such as easy pollution to products and difficulty in controlling the size of the particles.

Some embodiments of the present application provide a NASICON-type solid electrolyte whose preparation raw materials include a first type raw material and a second type raw material, the sintering activity of the first type raw material being higher than or equal to the sintering activity of the second type raw material. By using the first type of raw material and the second type of raw material to prepare a NASICON-type solid electrolyte, it is easier to control the grain size of the composite material, and a solid electrolyte product with a controllable particle size or within a desired particle size range can be obtained.

The solid electrolyte has the particle size D50 of 2-500 μm, has good processing and coating performances, and is more suitable for application on batteries.
The NASICON type solid electrolyte provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a solid secondary battery, and is beneficial to design and assembly of the solid secondary battery.
In some embodiments, a secondary battery is provided that includes a NASICON-type solid electrolyte provided herein. Specific examples of the secondary battery include various kinds of solid-state secondary batteries such as a solid-state lithium ion secondary battery, a solid-state sodium ion secondary battery, and the like. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-described secondary battery, such as a solid lithium ion secondary battery, is merely an example, and that the secondary battery may be other types of batteries without departing from the disclosure of the present application.
In order to obtain a NASICON-type solid electrolyte in the above-specified particle size range, which facilitates the design assembly of the solid secondary battery, the following method provided in the present application may be employed for preparation. Hereinafter, the NASICON-type solid electrolyte and the method for preparing the same will be further described in detail in conjunction with the method for preparing the NASICON-type solid electrolyte provided in the present application.
Specifically, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a NASICON-type solid electrolyte, including the steps of:
mixing a first type of raw materials and a second type of raw materials, and then calcining to obtain an intermediate with a desired grain size, wherein the sintering activity of the first type of raw materials is higher than or equal to that of the second type of raw materials;
carrying out liquid phase crushing on the intermediate to obtain a mixture;
and carrying out solid-liquid separation on the mixture to obtain the NASICON type solid electrolyte.
It is noted that in the method for producing a NASICON-type solid electrolyte, in some cases, the sintering activities of the first type raw material and the second type raw material are different, and the sintering activity of the first type raw material is higher than that of the second type raw material, i.e., the first type raw material may be a high sintering activity raw material and the second type raw material may be a low sintering activity raw material. In other cases, the same type of sintering-active raw materials may be used, i.e., the first type of raw materials and the second type of raw materials have the same sintering activity, and in this case, the raw materials used are both raw materials with relatively low sintering activity (higher melting point), i.e., the first type of raw materials and the second type of raw materials are both low sintering-active raw materials.
Preferably, a first type of raw material and a second type of raw material having different sintering activities are mixed.
The method is a preparation method of phosphate solid electrolyte powder with NASICON structure, and the method can control the grain size of a product (obtained intermediate) by controlling the selection of raw materials (preferably adopting raw materials with different sintering activities) and the calcination process; then, the NASICON type solid electrolyte with particles of a specific size can be obtained by the technology of liquid phase pulverization and solid-liquid separation.
The method avoids the problems of product pollution, low efficiency, high cost and the like in the traditional scheme of firstly calcining, then mechanically crushing and crushing. In addition, in the conventional preparation method, the particle size of the calcined product is not taken into consideration, but the particle size of the material can be reduced to some extent by using mechanical methods such as crushing, pulverizing, or ball milling, sand milling, etc. The preparation method of the embodiment of the invention aims to control the grain size of the calcined material, and then obtains a product with the same size as the grain size of the calcined material by reducing the mechanical strength of the grain boundary.
Specifically, the preparation method can be a method for preparing the phosphate fast ion conductor powder with the NASCION structure with specific size distribution, and comprises 5 steps of raw material design, precursor preparation, high-temperature calcination, liquid phase crushing and solid-liquid separation. The grain size of the calcined material can be changed through proper raw material proportioning design, and the bulk material is crushed to a specific grain diameter by a liquid phase crushing method, so that the grain size is controllable, the introduction of impurities is reduced, and the quality of the prepared product is improved.
[ design of raw materials ]
The raw material design mainly refers to that when the raw materials are selected, the raw materials are divided into two types or two types according to the physical and chemical properties of the raw materials, one type is a high sintering activity raw material, and the other type is a low sintering activity raw material. Exemplary, high sintering activity raw materials include, but are not limited to, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, lithium hydroxide, aluminum dihydrogen phosphate, titanium dihydrogen phosphate, and the like; low sintering activity raw materials include, but are not limited to, lithium carbonate, titanium dioxide, alumina, titanium phosphate, aluminum phosphate, and the like. It should be understood that the above-mentioned high sintering activity raw material and low sintering activity raw material are relative terms, and the specific sintering activity of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and can be selectively adjusted and controlled by a person skilled in the art according to the actual situation.
The sintering activity is defined as whether or not the target product is easily obtained by the same sintering process, and generally, the sintering activity is high when the target product is easily obtained (for example, at a lower temperature and a shorter reaction time), whereas the sintering activity is low when the target product is not easily obtained.
In contrast, materials with lower melting points generally have the internal elements which are easier to diffuse at high temperature, and can be sintered at lower temperature in shorter time, namely, the sintering activity is higher; conversely, materials with higher melting points have lower sintering activity.
The method selects two types of raw materials with different sintering activities, adjusts the proportion of the raw materials with high sintering activity and the raw materials with low sintering activity, and can control the grain size of the synthetic material. And then the synthesized material is subjected to liquid phase crushing, such as water washing crushing, so that a product with controllable particle size can be obtained. The particle size D50 value of the product can be matched with the raw material ratio.
In detail, the reason for selecting two types of raw materials with different sintering activities is mainly that the grains inside the inorganic material grow continuously during the calcination process. The longer the calcination time and the higher the calcination temperature, the larger the final product grain size. Likewise, the sintering activity of the raw materials also affects the grain size. If the raw materials contain components with lower melting points, the sintering activity of the whole raw materials can be greatly improved, and grains with larger sizes can be obtained at lower calcining temperature and shorter calcining time. If the melting point of the material in the raw material is high, the elements are difficult to diffuse into each other during calcination, and a high calcination temperature and a long calcination time are required to obtain particles with a large size. Therefore, the invention can control the grain size of the composite material by selecting two types of raw materials with different sintering activities and adjusting the proportion of the raw materials with high sintering activity and the raw materials with low sintering activity, for example, the grain size can be in a micron order.
In an embodiment of the invention, the sintering activity of the first type of raw material is higher than the sintering activity of the second type of raw material, which may be characterized, for example, by the melting point of the material. In particular, the melting point of the first type of raw material is lower than the melting point of the second type of raw material.
Illustratively, some low melting point high sintering activity raw materials have melting points below 1000 ℃, and even some raw materials have melting points below the target product synthesis temperature. While some high melting point low sintering activity raw materials typically have melting points above 1000 c, or even some raw materials have melting points higher than the synthesis temperature of the target product.
