Abstract
High energy density and long cycle life all solid-state electrolyte lithium-ion batteries use ceramic-polymer composite anodes which include a polymer matrix with ceramic nanoparticles, silicon-based anode active materials, conducting agents, lithium salts and plasticizer distributed in the matrix. The silicon-based anode active material are anode active particles formed by high energy milling a mixture of silicon, graphite, and metallic and/or non-metallic oxides. A polymer coating is applied to the particles. The networking structure of the electrolyte establishes an effective lithium-ion transport pathway in the electrode and strengthens the contact between the electrode layer and solid-state electrolyte resulting in higher lithium-ion battery cell cycling stability and long battery life.
