Description

Solid electrolyte precursor, solid electrolyte and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of sodium ion solid-state batteries, in particular to a solid-state electrolyte precursor, a solid-state electrolyte and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Since the advent of commercial lithium ion batteries, lithium ion batteries have taken the dominant role in the consumer electronics market, along with the increasing maturity of battery technology. At present, the traditional liquid lithium ion battery is difficult to improve the safety and the energy density at the same time, and the development of the field of new energy automobiles is restricted to a certain extent. Due to the high chemical and electrochemical stability, high thermal stability and high mechanical strength of the solid electrolyte, the all-solid-state battery is expected to realize the matching use of a high-energy positive electrode and a high-energy negative electrode, and has both high energy density and high safety.
The lithium metal resources are rare in earth reserves, high in price, extremely uneven in distribution and the like, so that the development of various lithium battery products is restricted. In recent years, sodium batteries have become research hot spots on various large platforms due to the characteristics of abundant resources, low cost, chemical properties similar to those of lithium batteries, and the like. Most of the sodium battery studies reported to date are liquid electrolytes based on organic solvents, such as ethers and carbonates. The flammability and leakage of organic solvents present potential safety issues for liquid sodium batteries. In contrast, the solid sodium battery has the advantages of high stability, no leakage risk, easiness in direct stacking and processing and the like, and the safety performance of the battery is remarkably improved.
In solid state sodium batteries, sodium ion solid state electrolytes are the most critical component, with the NaSICON type Na 1+ xZr2SixP3−xO12 (0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.3) solid state electrolyte system, initiated by Hong and Goodenough 40 years ago. NaSICON is a continuous solid solution formed by NaZr 2(PO4)3 and NaZr 2(SiO4)3, and has a general formula of Na 1+xZr2SixP3-xO12 (o.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.3), when x=2, that is, na 3Zr2Si2PO12 has the highest ionic conductivity, and can reach 0.2S/cm at a temperature of 300 ℃.
In this context, na 1+xZr2SixP3−xO12 (0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.3) is synthesized mainly by the solid-state reaction process and the sol-gel process. Some specific cations, such as Al 3+、Yb3+、La3+、Nd3+、Y3+、Nb5+、Ti4+ and Zn 2+, were used as dopants to alter the sintering ability and crystal structure of NaSiCON by solid state reaction methods or to use sintering aids such as Na 2O-Nb2O5-P2O5 glass, antimony oxide, tin oxide, na 2O、Na2SiO3 and Na 3BO3 to enhance densification of Na 3Zr2Si2PO12.
Although the Nasicon type solid electrolyte has made a great breakthrough in performance, and the conductivity of Na ions is remarkably improved by a research method of cation substitution. But the rapid growth of grains during sintering severely hampers the search for bulk dense ceramic electrolytes with nanoscale structures. The conventional sintering process for solid ceramic electrolytes is to heat and sinter the raw materials at high temperatures (> 1200 ℃) until optimal densification is achieved. For this reason, the grain size of the NaSICON-type solid electrolyte sintered in the conventional manner increases significantly with densification, resulting in a micro-scale microstructure (grain size exceeding 1 mm). The solid electrolyte of micron-sized crystal grains has large grain boundary impedance, so that the overall ion conductivity of the electrolyte is low, and the electrolyte cannot be matched with high-voltage positive and negative electrodes.
NaSICON ceramic powders can also be synthesized by sol-gel processes, and the densification temperature of the NaSICON fines is typically higher than 1000 ℃ or lower than the precursor through the solid state reaction process, but the ceramic grain size remains micron-sized after the final stage sintering process. For example, mg-doped and Sc-doped NaSICON solid state electrolytes have a grain size in the range of 1mm to 2mm after sintering at a maximum temperature of 1260 ℃ according to literature "Lithium ion transport properties of high conductive tellurium substituted Li7La3Zr2O12cubic lithium garnets". According to the description of document INTERPHASEENGINEERING ENABLED ALL-ceramic lithium battery, na 3Zr2Si2PO12 shows a larger grain size in liquid phase sintering, about 4mm, in the presence of Na 3SiO3 additive.
In the research of NaSICON sodium ion solid electrolyte materials, the technology used in the result that the electrochemical performance is more than 4.5mS/cm is complex, and although the performance is good, the practical application requirement of the all-solid sodium battery can not be met.
CN116598579a discloses a preparation method of a locally ordered sodium zirconium phosphosilicate solid electrolyte and a battery, and the sodium source, the zirconium source, the silicon source, the phosphorus source and the doping element source are respectively ball-milled according to stoichiometric ratio and dried to obtain precursor powder a, precursor powder B, precursor powder C, precursor powder D, precursor powder E and precursor powder F; respectively calcining and grinding under sodium atmosphere to obtain corresponding initial samples; mixing more than two initial samples, ball milling, drying, pressing and sintering to obtain the locally ordered sodium zirconium phosphosilicate solid electrolyte. CN115472901a discloses a method for preparing NASICON type sodium ion solid electrolyte at low temperature. The method comprises the following steps: mixing anhydrous sodium carbonate, zirconia, silicon dioxide and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and then performing primary ball milling, primary drying and presintering to obtain precursor powder A; mixing the precursor powder A with CuO, and then performing secondary ball milling and secondary drying to obtain precursor powder B; and pressing the precursor powder B into a blank, then sintering, and cooling to obtain the NASICON type sodium ion solid electrolyte. The above solution is not a beneficial attempt in the art.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a solid electrolyte precursor, a solid electrolyte and a preparation method thereof, which can solve the problems of abnormal growth of crystal grains, low ionic conductivity and the like in the existing sintering process of sodium ion solid electrolyte.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a solid electrolyte precursor, comprising the steps of:
Step one, dissolving a silicon source in a first solvent to obtain a first solution; dissolving a zirconium source in a second solvent to obtain a second solution;
Step two, preparing buffer solution;
step three, dropwise adding the second solution into the buffer solution, and keeping stirring in the dropwise adding process; after stirring for a first preset time, dropwise adding a first solution; sealing the seal after the first solution is dripped, and continuously stirring for a second preset time;
Step four, centrifuging and drying the mixed solution obtained in the step three for the second preset time to obtain an intermediate product;
And fifthly, preheating the intermediate product, and then heating and sintering to obtain the nanoscale solid electrolyte precursor with active reactivity.
By adopting the technical scheme, the first solution and the second solution are fully mixed in the buffer solution, and then the solid electrolyte precursor with active reactivity in nano level is obtained through centrifugation, drying, preheating and temperature rising sintering in sequence. The synthesis mechanism is as follows: monodisperse SiO 2 is synthesized on the basis of the formation of ZrO 2 particles in an alkaline environment, and since the SiO 2 particles are smaller than the ZrO 2 particles, the SiO 2 particles coat the surface of the ZrO 2 particles during the coprecipitation process. As sintering proceeds, the zirconium source gradually transforms into a metastable tetragonal phase zirconium dioxide ZrO 2, and the silicon dioxide SiO 2 formed by sintering the silicon source coats the zirconium dioxide surface. Because of the coating effect of the silicon dioxide, the zirconium dioxide can not be contacted with other substances in the cooling process of sintering, so that the zirconium dioxide can be kept in a metastable tetragonal crystal phase.
When the solid electrolyte precursor is adopted for preparing the solid electrolyte, the zirconium dioxide is kept in a tetragonal crystal phase in a metastable state, so that the growth of silicon dioxide in a monoclinic crystal phase is effectively inhibited, the phase forming temperature of the solid electrolyte is reduced, namely sintering treatment at a higher temperature is not needed, the nanocrystallization of the grain size of the solid electrolyte is realized, and the problem that the grain size is overlarge due to the conventional solid state reaction method is solved.

Further, ammonia water, deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol are adopted to prepare a buffer solution in the second step, and the volume ratio of the ammonia water to the deionized water to the absolute ethyl alcohol is 1:1.2-1.5:2.8-3.3. The main purpose of ammonia water is to adjust the pH value of the buffer solution so as to keep the buffer solution in an alkaline state, and the mixed solution of deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol is mainly used for better dispersing the oily solution and the aqueous solution.
Further, the third step is specifically: dropwise adding the second solution into the buffer solution, and keeping stirring in the dropwise adding process, wherein the stirring speed is set to 300-400 r/min; stirring for a first preset time, namely 5-10 min, and then dropwise adding a first solution;
After the first solution is added dropwise, sealing, continuously stirring for 5-10 min under the condition that the stirring speed is 300-400 r/min, adjusting the stirring speed to 150-250 r/min, and continuously stirring for a second preset time, namely 12-24 h.
Further, the fourth step is specifically: and (3) carrying out centrifugal treatment on the mixed solution obtained in the second preset time in the third step by adopting deionized water under the condition that the rotating speed is set to 7000-8000 r/min, centrifuging for 1-2 times by adopting absolute ethyl alcohol, and drying in a solid product blast oven obtained by centrifugation at the temperature of 60-80 ℃ for 3-5 hours to obtain an intermediate product.
Further, the preheating temperature in the fifth step is set to be 350-400 ℃, and the preheating time is set to be 3-5 hours; and fifthly, setting the temperature rise sintering temperature to be 800-950 ℃ and setting the heat preservation time to be 3-5 h.

3) Ball milling, drying, tabletting and sintering are carried out on the solid electrolyte material powder to obtain the solid electrolyte.
Further, the step 2) specifically comprises:
Firstly, ball milling and drying are carried out on the sodium source, the phosphorus source and the solid electrolyte precursor weighed in the step 1), wherein the ball milling conditions are as follows: ball milling for 10-15 h by a wet method, wherein a ball milling medium is absolute ethyl alcohol or isopropanol; the drying conditions are as follows: drying in a blast oven at the temperature of 60-80 ℃ for 3-5 hours;
And then sintering the mixture into solid electrolyte material powder at a low temperature, wherein the low-temperature sintering conditions are as follows: and (3) preserving heat for 9-12 hours in an air atmosphere at the temperature of 800-950 ℃, wherein the temperature rising speed is set to be 5-10 ℃/min.
Further, the ball milling conditions in step 3) are: ball milling for 10-15 h by a wet method, wherein a ball milling medium is absolute ethyl alcohol or isopropanol;

In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a solid electrolyte prepared by the method for preparing a solid electrolyte as described above.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. By adopting the preparation method of the solid electrolyte precursor, the tetragonal phase crystal structure of zirconium dioxide ZrO 2 of the obtained zirconium oxide-silicon oxide solid electrolyte precursor is ensured to be in a metastable state, and silicon dioxide SiO 2 is coated on the surface of the tetragonal phase crystal ZrO 2 in an amorphous state, so that the stable and main monoclinic ZrO 2 phase which is the same as that of the original monoclinic zirconia and impurities such as Na 3PO4、Na4SiO4 and the like generated in the conventional solid-phase method for preparing the NaSICON solid electrolyte are effectively avoided. And because the silicon dioxide is adopted for coating, the silicon dioxide can be used as a silicon element donor in the solid electrolyte, and compared with other inert coating layers, the novel impurity element is prevented from being introduced, and the preparation purity of the solid electrolyte is ensured.
2. According to the invention, silicon dioxide SiO 2 is coated on the surface of the zirconium dioxide with the tetragonal phase crystal structure in a metastable state through sintering treatment, so that the formation temperature of monoclinic solid electrolyte Na 1+xZr2SixP3−xO12 (0 < x < 3) is reduced, and meanwhile, the grain size is nanocrystallized, so that the grain boundary impedance of the solid electrolyte is small, the overall ion conductivity is higher, and the solid electrolyte can be matched with high-voltage positive and negative electrodes. And the subsequent densification of the same monoclinic Na 1+xZr2SixP3−xO12 (x is more than 0 and less than 3) is promoted, and the cycle performance of the ion conductivity battery of the electrolyte is improved.
