High-power all-solid-state battery and preparation thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and relates to a high-power all-solid-state battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
An all solid-state lithium battery using a solid electrolyte has received much attention from both academic and industrial fields due to its high safety and high energy density, as compared to a commercial lithium ion battery using a liquid electrolyte. However, compared with liquid batteries, the existing all-solid batteries can not work normally at a higher rate, and the essential analysis is mainly that the contact between the active substance in the electrode and the solid electrolyte or the conductive agent can only depend on a simple solid-solid contact mode, and the simple mixing of the active substance in the electrode, the solid electrolyte and the conductive agent can not ensure that the active substance can contact both the electrolyte (ensuring ion transmission) and the conductive agent (ensuring electron transmission), and the mode can not ensure that the ion or electron transmission channel is continuous and smooth. At present, relevant improvement measures are not reported, so that an all-solid-state battery anode is urgently needed to be designed, active materials are ensured to be in contact with both a solid electrolyte and a conductive agent, and rapid ion and electron transmission is realized.
