摘要:

使用硫化物固体电解质的全固态锂硫电池由于多硫化物不溶于硫化物固体电解质及硫化物电解质不可燃的特性,得以完全避免穿梭效应并显著提高了电池的安全性能而被认为是极具潜力的下一代储能电池。如何建立并平衡复合正极中离子/电子导电网络且维持复合正极中较高活性物质含量对于全固态锂硫电池至关重要。本文以单质硫为活性物质研究了复合导电添加剂对全固态锂硫电池性能的影响,发现以乙炔黑(AB)为导电碳材料明显优于Super P和Ketjen Black;优化复合正极的组成,发现硫:乙炔黑:固体电解质的质量比为40:20:40时,全固态锂硫电池在室温和60℃下均具有良好的电化学性能。

Abstract:

All-solid-state lithium sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) with inorganic solid electrolytes offer an opportunity to realize both high energy density (lithium metal ~ 3860 mAh·g-1, sulfur ~ 1675 mAh·g-1), safety and reliability, via eliminating the polysulfides shuttle effect and flammable liquid electrolyte. However, it still remains a huge challenge for ASSLSBs to achieve high areal active mass loading, high utilization efficiency of the active materials and good cycle stability simultaneously due to the insulating nature of sulfur and Li2S (conductivities of sulfur and Li2S are 5×10-30 S·cm-1 and 3.6×10-7 S·cm-1 at room temperature, respectively), and the large volume change during cycling due to the difference in mass density between sulfur (2.03 g·cm-3) and Li2S (1.67 g·cm-3). Herein, Li7P3S11 (LPS) glass-ceramic sulfide solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity of 1.7×10-3 S·cm-1 at room temperature was synthesized through high energy ball-milling and a two-step heat treatment. And the effect of conductive additives on electrochemical performance of ASSLSBs employing sulfur as an active material and LPS as a solid electrolyte was systematically investigated. It shows that ASSLSBs employing acetylene black (AB) as a conductive additive exhibited much better electrochemical performance with high capacity of 1681 mAh·g-1 and good rate performance at 60℃ than Super P and Ketjen Black. ASSLBs employing sulfur composite cathode with the optimized mass ratio of S:AB:solid electrolyte = 4:2:4 presented the best electrochemical performance at both room temperature and 60℃. ASSLBs employing S40-AB20-LPS40 composite cathode delivered a high capacity of 1450 mAh·g-1 with good cycling stability and high coulombic efficiency of ~100% at 60℃. And good electrochemical performance could also be obtained even at room temperature. A high initial discharge capacity of ~1270 mAh·g-1 was obtained and a high capacity of 1140 mAh·g-1 was retained after 30 cycles with high coulombic efficiency of ~100%.
