[0133] Performance Testing
[0134] The semi-solid batteries obtained from each Example and Comparative Example were subjected to the following performance tests:
[0135] (1) Energy density: 4 Ah batteries were tested for energy density under 25±2° C. environment.
[0136] (2) Capacity retention rate: 4 Ah batteries were tested for capacity retention rate after 200 cycles under 60±2° C. environment.
[0137] (3) Piercing with needle: the battery was fully charged, and a φ5mm high-temperature resistant steel needle was used to penetrate at a rate of (40±5) mm/s from the direction perpendicular to the battery plate; the penetration position should be close to the geometric center of the punctured surface, and the steel needle stayed in the battery to observe for one hour; if the battery doe not catch fire and does not explode, it will pass; if it catches fire and does not explode, it will not pass; and the surface temperature of the passing battery was recorded.
[0138] (4) Heating: after the battery was fully charged, it was put into the test chamber, and the test chamber was heated at a heating rate of 5° C./min; when the temperature in the chamber reached (180±2)° C., the temperature was kept constant for 30 min.
[0139] After the battery was fully charged, it was put into the test chamber, and the test chamber was heated at a heating rate of 5° C./min; when the temperature in the chamber reached (200±2)° C., the temperature was kept constant for 30 min.
[0140] During the heating experiment, if the battery does not catch fire and does not explode, it will pass; and if it catches fire and does not explode, it will not pass.
[0141] (5) Squeezing: after the battery was fully charged, it was placed between two planes, and squeezed from the direction perpendicular to the battery plate at a rate of 2mm/s; the squeezing was stopped when the voltage reached 0V or the battery deformation reached 50%; during the squeezing process, if the battery does not catch fire and does not explode, it will pass; and if it catches fire and does not explode, it will not pass; and the surface temperature of the passing battery was recorded.

[0143] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 7-12 that, excessive content of the solid state electrolyte is not conducive to the performance of the battery capacity, and the energy density of Example 12 is only 275 Wh/kg; too small content of the solid state electrolyte does not significantly improve the safety of the battery, it is manifested that the battery of Example 11 cannot pass safety tests such as piercing by needle, heating and squeezing; when the content of the solid state electrolyte is 1% to 5%, the battery has high energy density and high safety.
[0144] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 13-18 that, excessive size of the particles of the solid state electrolyte does not significantly improve the safety of the battery, it is manifested that the battery of Example 18 cannot pass safety tests of piercing by needle and heating; too small size of the particles of the solid state electrolyte significantly decreases energy density, and the energy density of Example 17 is only 280 Wh/kg; when the particle size is 0.5-2 μm, the battery has high energy density and high safety.
[0145] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 19 that, compared with the battery added with LATP, the battery added with LSTH has lower energy density. Although the battery can pass the safety test, the surface temperature of the battery is significantly higher than that of Example 1.
[0146] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 that, after adding the polymer obtained by in-situ polymerization, since the interface between the active material and the oxide solid state electrolyte is improved, and the ion transport performance is increased, thereby improving the energy density of the battery; and the liquid retention rate of the battery is also improved, thereby delaying the capacity loss caused by electrolyte consumption and improving cycle performance of the battery; in addition, the polymer has a high decomposition temperature, and it plays a certain endothermic role in the positive electrode. Although the battery of Comparative Example 1 can pass 180° C. heating box, but cannot pass 200° C. heating box.
[0147] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 that, without addition of oxide solid state electrolyte, although the energy density of the battery is high, the safety is poor, and cannot pass safety tests such as piercing by needle, heating and squeezing. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made, and they should be regarded as falling in the protection scope of the present application.
