Abstract

A solid-state battery including a cathode, an anode, and a solid-state electrolyte layer including a solid-state electrolyte, wherein the solid-state electrolyte layer is disposed between the cathode and the anode, wherein the anode includes an anode active material, a first binder, and a second binder, the first binder is inactive to the solid-state electrolyte, the second binder has a tensile modulus greater than a tensile modulus of the first binder, and the second binder has a binding force which is greater than a binding force of the first binder.

Claims (30)

1. A solid-state battery comprising:

a cathode comprising a first solid electrolyte;

an anode; and

a solid-state electrolyte layer comprising a solid-state electrolyte, wherein the solid-state-state electrolyte layer is disposed between the cathode and the anode,

wherein

the anode comprises an anode active material, a first binder, and a second binder,

the first binder is inactive to the second solid-state electrolyte, and

the second binder has a binding force which is greater than a binding force of the first binder,

wherein an amount of the second binder is greater than an amount of the first binder, and

wherein the first solid electrolyte is the same as or different from the second solid electrolyte.

2. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein a tensile modulus of the second binder is in a range of about 2 gigaPascals to about 15 gigaPascals.

3. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein the second binder is a polar resin including a polar functional group.

4. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein the second binder comprises a polyimide that is expressed by Chemical Formula 1:

wherein n is about 50 to about 5,000, and R and R′ are aromatic groups.

5. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein the second binder comprises a polyimide expressed by Chemical Formula 2:

wherein n is about 50 to about 5,000.

6. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the second binder is in a range of about 1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent, based on a total weight of the anode.

7. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein the first binder is a non-polar thermoplastic resin that does not include a polar functional group.

8. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein the first binder is a styrene-butadiene block copolymer, a styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, a styrene-styrene butadiene-styrene block copolymer, a styrene-butadiene rubber, a butadiene rubber, a natural rubber, an isoprene rubber, an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, a polystyrene, a polyolefin, a polycycloolefin, a silicone resin, a hydrogenated product thereof, or a combination thereof.

9. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the first binder is in a range of about 0.1 weight percent to about 2 weight percent, based on the total weight of the anode.

10. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein an anode active material of the anode comprises graphite, a metal, or a combination thereof.

11. The solid-state battery of claim 10 , wherein the anode active material comprises silicon.

12. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein the anode does not comprise the solid-state-state electrolyte.

13. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein the solid-state electrolyte layer comprises a sulfide solid-state electrolyte.

14. The solid-state battery of claim 13 , wherein the sulfide solid-state electrolyte comprises Li 2 S—P 2 S 5 .

15. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein the solid-state electrolyte layer comprises the first binder.

16. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , wherein the solid-state electrolyte layer comprises a non-polar thermoplastic resin that does not include a polar functional group.

17. The solid-state battery of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer disposed on the cathode.

18. The solid-state battery of claim 17 , wherein the adhesive layer comprises the first binder and a third binder, wherein the third binder has a binding force which is greater than the binding force of the first binder.

19. The solid-state battery of claim 18 , wherein the third binder comprises a nitrile rubber, a chloroprene rubber, a polyacrylic acid ester copolymer, a polyvinylidene fluoride, a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, a chlorinated polyethylene, a polymethacrylic acid ester, a polyvinyl alcohol, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, a polyimide, a polyamide, a polyamideimide, a hydrogenated product thereof, a carboxylic acid modified product thereof, or a combination thereof.
