An intermediate product of a solid electrolyte according to an embodiment of the present application will be described.
According to an embodiment of the present application, the intermediate product of the solid electrolyte may include a compound in which a cation and an anion are bound, and a solvent in which the compound is mixed.
According to one embodiment, the cation may be thiophenium represented by <Formula 1> below. The compound may include an alkyl group (R1) bonded with a sulfur element of the thiophenium.
For example, the cation may have a methyl group represented by <Formula 2> below, an ethyl group represented by <Formula 3>, a propyl group represented by <Formula 4>, or a butyl group represented by <Formula 5>.
According to another embodiment, the cation may be thiazolium represented by <Formula 6> below. The compound may include an alkyl group (R1) bonded with a nitrogen element of the thiazolium.
For example, the cation may have a methyl group represented by <Formula 7> below, an ethyl group represented by <Formula 8>, a propyl group represented by <Formula 9>, or a butyl group represented by <Formula 10>.
The anion may include fluorohydrogenate represented by <Formula 11>.
The compound may include a compound in which a cation including the thiophenium and an anion including the fluorohydrogenate are bound, or may include a compound in which a cation including the thiazolium and an anion including the fluorohydrogenate are bound.
The compound may be provided in a state in which the compound is dispersed or dissolved in the solvent. The solvent may include at least any one of acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, DMSO, or DMF.
The intermediate product of the solid electrolyte including the compound and the solvent may be in a liquid or get state. The intermediate product of the solid electrolyte in a liquid or gel state may be stored, transported and distributed.
The solid electrolyte may be prepared by removing and drying the solvent included in the intermediate product of the solid electrolyte. The solid electrolyte may include a compound in which the cation including the thiophenium or the thiazolium and the anion including the fluorohydrogenate are bound, may be in a flexible solid state, and may have crystallinity. In other words, the solid electrolyte may be in a flexible and crystalline solid state having a high ion conductivity, in which the cation and the anion are bound.
The solid electrolyte may be provided between a positive electrode and a negative electrode to configure a secondary battery. In this case, according to one embodiment, a positive electrode active material included in the positive electrode may include lithium, phosphorus, and iron, and a negative electrode active material included in the negative electrode may include lithium.
A method for preparing an intermediate product of the solid electrolyte, a cation source for preparing the solid electrolyte, and an anion source for preparing the solid electrolyte may be described.
A cation source and an anion source for preparing the solid electrolyte including the compound in which the cation and the anion are bound may be provided.
If the cation is thiophenium, the cation source may include a solution containing an alkyl group, and thiophene. In this case, the cation source may include thiophenium salt. Alternately, if the cation is thiazolium, the cation source may include a solution containing an alkyl group, and thiazoline. In this case, the cation source may include thiazolium salt.
According to one embodiment, the solution containing the alkyl group may be prepared by adding an alkyl group precursor into a solvent and stirring at room temperature. For example, the solvent may be acetonitrile. Specifically, for example, the alkyl group precursor may include any one of dichloromethane represented by <Formula 12> below, ethyl chloride represented by <Formula 13> below, propyl chloride represented by <Formula 14> below, or butyl chloride represented by <Formula 15> below.
The cation source may be prepared by dripping and reacting the thiophene or the thiazoline into the solution containing the alkyl group. Unlike the above, if a large amount of the thiophene or the thiazoline is added into the solution containing the alkyl group at one time, the reactivity between the thiophene or the thiazoline and the solution containing the alkyl group may decrease, and thus it may not be easy to prepare the cation source.
Accordingly, as described above, the thiophene or the thiazoline may be dripped into the solution containing the alkyl group, and thus the reactivity between the solution containing the thiophene or the thiazoline and the alkyl group may increase to enhance an yield of the thiophenium salt or the thiazoline salt.
According to one embodiment, as a length of a chain of the alkyl group in the solution containing the alkyl group increases, a reaction time may increase. Thus, as the length of the chain of the alkyl group increases, a temperature of the reaction may increase. Accordingly, a manufacturing process time for the cation source may be shortened and a manufacturing cost may be reduced, and thus mass production may be facilitated.
As described above, the thiophenium salt may include an alkyl group bonded with a sulfur atom of the thiophenium as represented by <Formula 1> to <Formula 5>. For example, the thiophenium salt may include thiophenium chloride containing any one of a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group or a butyl group.
Specifically, for example, if the solution containing the alkyl group includes dichloromethane represented by <Formula 12>, the thiophene may be dripped into the solution containing the dichloromethane, and reacted at room temperature, and the thiophenium salt may include one in which a carbon element of the dichloromethane is bonded with a sulfur element of the thiophene as represented by <Formula 16>.
As another example, if the solution containing the alkyl group includes ethyl chloride represented by <Formula 13>, the thiophene may be dripped into the solution containing the ethyl chloride, and reacted at a temperature higher than room temperature and the thiophenium salt may include one in which a carbon element of the ethyl chloride is bonded with a sulfur element of the thiophene as represented by <Formula 17>.
As still another example, if the solution containing the alkyl group includes propyl chloride represented by above <Formula 14>, the thiophene may be dripped into the solution containing the propyl chloride, and reacted at a temperature higher than room temperature and the thiophenium salt may include one in which a carbon element of the propyl chloride is bonded with a sulfur element of the thiophene as represented by <Formula 18>.
As still another example, if the solution containing the alkyl group includes butyl chloride represented by above <Formula 15>, the thiophene may be dripped into the solution containing the butyl chloride, and reacted at a temperature higher than room temperature and the thiophenium salt may include one in which a carbon element of the butyl chloride is bonded with a sulfur element of the thiophene as represented by <Formula 19>.
The thiazolium salt may include an alkyl group bonded with a nitrogen atom of the thiazolium as represented by <Formula 6> to <Formula 10>. For example, the thiazolium salt may include thiazolium chloride containing any one of a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group or a butyl group.
Specifically, for example, if the solution containing the alkyl group includes dichloromethane represented by above <Formula 12>, the thiazoline may be dripped into the solution containing the dichloromethane, and reacted at room temperature, and the thiazolium salt may include one in which a carbon element of the dichloromethane is bonded with a nitrogen element of the thiazoline as represented by <Formula 20>.
As another example, if the solution containing the alkyl group includes ethyl chloride represented by above <Formula 13>, the thiazoline may be dripped into the solution containing the ethyl chloride, and reacted at a temperature higher than room temperature and the thiazolium salt may include one in which a carbon element of the ethyl chloride is bonded with a nitrogen element of the thiazoline as represented by <Formula 21>.
As still another example, if the solution containing the alkyl group includes propyl chloride represented by above <Formula 14>, the thiazoline may be dripped into the solution containing the propyl chloride, and reacted at a temperature higher than room temperature and the thiazolium salt may include one in which a carbon element of the propyl chloride is bonded with a nitrogen element of the thiazoline as represented by <Formula 22>.
As still another example, if the solution containing the alkyl group includes butyl chloride represented by above <Formula 15>, the thiazoline may be dripped into the solution containing the butyl chloride, and reacted at a temperature higher than room temperature and the thiazolium salt may include one in which a carbon element of the butyl chloride is bonded with a nitrogen element of the thiazoline as represented by <Formula 23>.
The anion source may include a solvent including water and hydrofluoric acid mixed in the solvent. Specifically, the anion source prepared by stirring hydrofluoric acid and water may be a fluorohydrogenate precursor.
According to one embodiment, the anion source may further include lithium salt in addition to the solvent and the hydrofluoric acid. For example, the lithium salt may include lithium chloride. In this case, the anion source may be a lithium fluorohydrogenate precursor.
The cation source and the anion source may be stored, transported, and distributed in a liquid state while being provided in a container. The container may include an air conditioner which creates an environment suitable for storing the cation source and the anion source, and thus a temperature, humidity, and pressure inside the container may be adjusted.
An intermediate product of the solid electrolyte may be prepared by mixing the cation source and the anion source.
Specifically, the intermediate product of the solid electrolyte may be prepared by preparing a mixed solution in which the cation source and the anion source are mixed, and reacting the mixed solution. The mixed solution may be reacted at a temperature lower than room temperature (e.g., −70° C.).
Unlike the above, if the mixed solution is reacted at room temperature, the fluorohydrogenate precursor may be evaporated. Specifically, the fluorohydrogenate precursor may have a boiling point at a temperature equal to or lower than room temperature, and thus may be volatilized at room temperature.
Thus, as described above, if the mixed solution is reacted at a temperature lower than room temperature, the intermediate product of the solid electrolyte may be easily prepared. In addition, as a temperature of the reaction decreases, a loss of the fluorohydrogenate precursor may decrease, and thus a reaction time may decrease.
According to an embodiment of the present application, the intermediate product of the solid electrolyte may be provided in a liquid or gel state, and the cation source and the anion source for preparing the solid electrolyte may be provided in a liquid state. Thus, compared to those provided in a solid state, the intermediate product of the solid electrolyte, the cation source, and the anion source may be easily stored, distributed, and transported. Accordingly, the cost for preparing the solid electrolyte may be saved, and mass production of the solid electrolyte may be facilitated.
