COMPLETELY SOLID BATTERY COMPRISING A SOLID ELECTROLYTE AND A LAYER OF IONIC CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL
Technical area
The present invention relates to the field of batteries and in particular lithium ion batteries. It relates more particularly to lithium ion batteries ("Li-ion batteries") entirely solid, and a new method of manufacturing such batteries.
State of the art
Several methods of manufacturing lithium ion batteries ("Li-ion batteries") are known. The electrodes of the Li-ion batteries can be manufactured using printing or deposition techniques known to those skilled in the art, in particular deposition by roll coating ("roll coating") or by doctor blade (" doctor blade "), or" tape casting ". These techniques consist in coating an ink containing micron size particles of active materials on metal current collectors to deposit layers with a thickness typically between 50 and 400 μm. Depending on the thickness of the electrode, its porosity and the particle size of the active materials, the power and energy of the battery can be modulated.
These batteries have the particularity of containing liquid electrolytes or in the form of gelled polymers in order to ensure the transport of the lithium ions between the different active particles of the electrodes. These electrolytes consist of aprotic solvents in which lithium salts are dissolved. However, these electrolytes tend to degrade under the effect of electrical potentials and / or too high temperatures. This degradation can be violent and rapid in case of internal short circuit, and promote a thermal runaway of the entire battery cell.
Apart from the problems of dependability and durability inherent in the use of electrolytes based on aprotic solvents, these architectures do not make it possible either to optimize the electrochemical performances of the cell. The porosity necessary for the wetting of the electrodes induces a loss of densities of volumetric and mass energy of the electrodes.
The realization of fully solid Li-ion batteries, without liquid electrolytes based on aprotic solvents, would significantly increase the performance of Li-ion batteries. To achieve a high density of energy density, battery electrodes should be available in the form of compact thin layers, in which the lithium ions can easily diffuse, without having to add electrolytes conductive lithium ions or conductive particles electricity in the electrodes.
Such electrodes and fully solid batteries may be deposited using vacuum deposition techniques, such as PVD and / or CVD. Thus, completely solid battery electrodes, without porosity and containing neither binder, organic electrolyte nor electronic conductors in the electrodes are obtained. These techniques also make it possible to deposit electrolyte layers on the electrodes. These deposits are conformal, perfectly follow the surface roughness, are very adherent and do not require heat treatment at high temperature. The vacuum deposition techniques thus make it possible to guarantee a precise definition of the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte, without inter-diffusion of one of the layers in the other, nor risk of poor mechanical contact between the two layers. We thus obtain quality interfaces, not very resistive, well suited to the realization of fully solid batteries, with high power densities.
However, these vacuum deposition techniques are expensive to implement and do not allow access to complex chemical compositions, with more than two or three different chemical elements. In addition, the thicknesses accessible with these techniques are limited and rarely exceed 5 microns.
More recently, thin layers have been deposited by electrophoresis of nanoparticles. This technique is easier to implement than vacuum deposition techniques, it also makes it possible to produce electrodes with more complex chemical formulations, see electrodes composed of two distinct phases. The layers of nanoparticles thus deposited can be consolidated by simple drying or by heat treatments at relatively low temperatures. This limits inter-diffusion at the interfaces, an undesirable phenomenon that can give rise to new chemical compounds, whose ionic and / or electronic conductivity properties can be very different from those of the original component. Thus, fully solid, dense and functional electrode and electrolyte layers are obtained.
Techniques using inks do not allow to deposit in very thin layers. And if one wanted to use these techniques to make fully solid electrodes, it would be necessary to perform a debinding annealing to burn the organic products used to make the inks, and it would consolidate the layers. Consolidation is typically done by a high temperature heat treatment, called sintering. Sintering leads to retreint, it does not work directly on metal substrates without risk of cracking. In addition, because of the high temperature sintering promotes inter-diffusion at different interfaces, with the disadvantages described above.
To reduce the porosities between the particles without the use of high temperature sintering, solid and relatively fusible ionic conductors are used to bond the electrolyte and electrolyte particles together or to bind the electrolyte particles together. This also improves the integrity of the encapsulation layer of the final battery.
The quality of encapsulation is of paramount importance for Li-ion type batteries. In order to guarantee their calendar life, Li-ion batteries must be perfectly encapsulated and protected from the external environment. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques are particularly well suited to cover the surfaces of battery cells in a completely watertight and compliant manner. The encapsulation layers thus obtained generally consist of oxides, Al 2 O 3 type or other, with a thickness of the order of about fifty nanometers. These layers are therefore very mechanically fragile and require a rigid support surface. The deposition of a brittle layer on a flexible surface would lead to the formation of cracks, causing a loss of integrity of this protective layer. Moreover, to allow a relatively high deposition rate industrially, these layers must be deposited at a relatively high temperature, between 200 and 300 ° C. However, the usual electrolytes based on polymers containing lithium salts do not withstand such temperatures and do not have a sufficiently rigid surface to ensure the achievement of quality encapsulation with ALD deposition processes.
A first object of the present invention is to propose a method for manufacturing fully solid thin-film batteries, not inducing the appearance of phases at the interface between the two layers of electrolytes to be assembled but also between the layers of electrolyte and electrode.
Another object of the present invention is to propose a battery manufacturing process, which may consist of multilayer assemblies of fully solid and efficient cells, at low temperature without inducing any interdiffusion phenomenon at the interfaces with the electrodes, or any other glass transition of the solid electrolyte films induced by methods of assemblies too hot.
Another object of the invention is to enable low temperature solid electrolyte thin films of different types to be assembled at low temperature in order to optimize the choice of electrolytes on each of the electrodes so as to benefit from the best compromises in terms of stability. chemical interfaces, ionic conductivity and electrical insulation.
Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the encapsulation of the battery.
Another object of the present invention is to guarantee the mechanical rigidity necessary for achieving quality encapsulation.
Yet another object is to obtain within the battery a sufficiently low internal resistance, that is to say a sufficiently high ionic conduction in the electrolyte to allow the battery to deliver a high power density.
Another object of the invention is to manufacture batteries in thin layers by a process that can be implemented industrially in a fairly simple manner.

Detailed description of the invention
In the context of the present invention, the term "electrophoretic deposition" or "electrophoretic deposition" means a layer deposited by a method of deposition of particles previously suspended in a liquid medium, on a preferably conductive substrate, the displacement of particles to the surface of the substrate being generated by the application of an electric field between two electrodes placed in the suspension, one of the electrodes constituting the conductive substrate on which the deposit is made, the other electrode ("against electrode ") Being placed in the liquid phase. A so-called "dense" deposit of particles is formed on the substrate, if the zeta potential of the suspension of the particles has an appropriate value, and / or following a specific densification treatment of thermal and / or mechanical nature. This deposit has a particular structure and recognizable by the skilled person that distinguishes it from the deposits obtained by any other technique.
For the purpose of this paper, the size of a particle is its largest dimension. Thus, a "nanoparticle" is a particle of which at least one of the dimensions is less than 100 nm. The "particle size" or "average particle size" of a powder or set of particles is given in D50.
The term "all solid" battery (here also referred to as "all solid" battery) is here understood to mean a battery comprising a fully solid thin anode layer, a fully solid thin electrolyte layer and a fully solid cathode thin film, ie layers having a high geometric accuracy, including a precisely controlled thickness, and a very low number of defects. In the context of the present invention, the thickness of each of the thin layers present within the battery, after densification, is less than 10 μm and preferably less than 5 μm. The thickness of the electrolyte layer after densification is advantageously less than 5 μm, preferably less than 2 μm and even more preferably less than 1 μm. The porosity of each of the thin layers present within the battery, after densification, is less than 15%, preferably less than 10% and even more preferably less than 5%. The battery, resulting from the assembly of these thin fully solid layers, has both an increased power density and a better energy density. These batteries also have an improved lifetime that can withstand high temperature exposures without deteriorating.
These batteries, once manufactured, do not include any liquid phase material.
The term "lithium salt" means any compound that dissociates in ionic form in a suitable solvent. "Surface capacity" of an electrode is understood to mean the quantity of lithium ion that can be inserted into an electrode (expressed in pAH / cm2).
In order to meet the drawbacks mentioned above, the inventor has developed a new method of manufacturing an all-solid battery, consisting of multilayer assemblies of fully solid and efficient cells, and this at low temperature. The objectives are achieved by implementing a method of manufacturing a thin film battery comprising at least one layer of ionic conductive material. In order to obtain batteries having a good density of energy and power, the batteries obtained by the method according to the invention are of multilayer structure, unlike the planar structures of conventional thin film batteries.
During the manufacture of the battery, advantageously, the anode layers and / or cathode and / or electrolyte undergo a heat treatment recrystallization or consolidation to densify the layers. This recrystallization heat treatment of the layer is carried out at a temperature of between 300 ° C. and 1000 ° C., preferably between 400 ° C. and 800 ° C., and even more preferentially between 500 ° C. and 700 ° C. Advantageously, the recrystallization heat treatment of the anode layer and / or cathode and / or electrolyte is performed after step a) and / or b) deposition of the anode layer and / or cathode and / or after step c) of depositing the electrolyte layer.
Concerning these consolidations, ideally each of the electrodes (anode and cathode) is consolidated separately before the deposition of a layer comprising at least one solid electrolyte material. Once the deposition of this solid electrolyte layer has been carried out on at least one of the electrodes (anode or cathode) and dried, or it is consolidated, this recrystallizes this electrolyte deposit before the application of an ionically conductive material, preferably at least one lithium salt, which will then be used to make the assembly at low temperature, or the ionically conductive material, preferably at least one lithium salt, is deposited on this dried layer, on which porosities may remain present, while in this case the ionic conductive material will be used for assembly and sintering in solution (consolidation) of the solid electrolyte particles.
In addition, after manufacture and deposition of at least one layer of an ionically conductive material, these batteries are assembled at a relatively low temperature, ie at a temperature below 500 ° C., preferably below 350 ° C. and without to reduce the surface capacitances of the electrodes constituting the resulting battery. The realization of a battery "all solid" requires the use of dimensionally stable materials, in order to make the behavior of the battery more reliable, especially as regards the limitation of deformation stresses on the encapsulation or on the electrodes.
The anode, cathode and solid electrolyte layers are deposited among at least one of the following techniques, known as such:
Physical vapor deposition (PVD), and more particularly vacuum evaporation, laser ablation, ion beam, cathodic sputtering;
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and more particularly plasma assisted (PECVD), laser assisted (LACVD), or aerosol assisted (AA-CVD); Atomic layer deposition (ALD) Electrospray; Electrophoresis;
Aerosol deposition
The sol-gel technique;
Soaking, more particularly dip-coating, spin-coating, or the Langmuir-Blodgett process.
According to the invention, the anode, cathode and solid electrolyte layers are advantageously deposited by electrophoresis. The electrophoretic deposition of particles is done by the application of an electric field between the substrate on which the deposit is made and a counterelectrode, allowing the particles charged with the colloidal suspension to move, and to deposit them on the substrate. The absence of binders and other solvents deposited on the surface with the particles makes it possible to obtain very compact deposits. The compactness obtained by the electrophoretic deposition largely limits the risk of cracks or appearance of other defects in the deposit during the drying steps. In addition, the deposition rate can be very high depending on the applied electric field and the electrophoretic mobility of the suspended particles.
According to the invention, the method of manufacturing an all-solid battery according to the invention comprises a step a) of deposition of a layer of anode materials, which are preferably chosen from: (i) oxynitrides of tin (of typical formula SnOxNy); (ii) lithium iron phosphate (of typical formula LiFePO4); (iii) mixed oxynitrides of silicon and tin (of typical formula SiaSnbOyNz with a> 0, b> 0, a + b <2, 0 <y <4, 0 <z <3) (also called SiT), and especially SiSno, 8701i2N1, 72; as well as oxynitride carbides of the formula SiaSnbCcOyNz with a> 0, b> 0, a + b <2, 0 <c-10, 0 <y <24, 0 <z <17; SiaSnbCcOyNzXn with Xn at least one of F, Cl, Br, I, S, Se, Te, P, As, Sb, Bi,

The cathode electrode, consisting of a LiMn204 thin film deposited on a metal substrate, preferably nickel, is advantageously deposited without the use of vacuum techniques or dry rooms, which are very expensive equipment. Indeed, LiMn204, such as LiMn1.5Ni0504, is not very sensitive against air, but it must still avoid prolonged exposure. On the other hand, the impact of an exposure of the cathode materials to the air during the manufacture of the electrodes remains negligible because the duration of implementation is relatively short.
For the deposition of the anode or the cathode, it is possible to add nanoparticles of electronically conductive materials, and in particular graphite, and / or nanoparticles of ionically conductive materials, of the type used to produce the nanoparticles, to the materials mentioned above. electrolyte films (described hereinafter), or polymeric materials having ionic groups.
For nanoparticles less than about 100 nm in size, the anode, cathode and electrolyte layers can be electrosprayed, electrophoresed, aerosolized or dipped.
Advantageously, the layers of anode and cathode materials are deposited by electrophoresis from a suspension of nanoparticles of anode material and cathode respectively. These layers are advantageously deposited directly on their metal substrate used as a current collector.
Advantageously, the anode, cathode and electrolyte layers are all deposited by electrophoresis. This particular embodiment of the method according to the invention makes it possible to obtain dense and compact nanoparticle layers, in particular by self-sintering (called self-sintering) of the nanoparticle layer during the electrophoretic deposition, drying and drying step. and / or low temperature heat treatment. Furthermore, since the nanoparticle layers of anode or cathode materials deposited by electrophoresis are compact, the risk of cracking of the layer after drying is reduced, unlike layers of nanoparticles made from inks or fluids. having low solids and for which the deposits contain a large amount of solvent, which after drying gives rise to cracks in the deposit which is detrimental to the operation of a battery.
According to the invention, the layer of anode or cathode materials is deposited directly on its conductive substrate, preferably a metal conductive substrate selected from the following materials: nickel, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium or copper.

In order to improve the quality of the electrical contacts with the electrodes, the substrates may advantageously be coated with a metal or a metal alloy, preferably chosen from gold, chromium, stainless steel, palladium, molybdenum, titanium, tantalum, or silver.
According to the invention, the deposition of a layer of nanoparticles of anode material or of cathode directly on its conducting substrate, for example by electrophoresis, makes it possible to obtain a dense layer of nanocrystalline structure. However, the formation of grain boundaries is possible, leading to the formation of a particular layer of structure, between that of an amorphous and crystallized material, which can in certain cases limit the diffusion kinetics of the lithium ions in the thickness of the electrode. Thus, the power of the battery electrode and the life cycle can be affected. Advantageously, in order to improve the performance of the battery, a recrystallization heat treatment is performed to improve the crystallinity, and possibly the consolidation of the electrode in order to reinforce the power of the electrodes (anode and / or cathode).
The recrystallization heat treatment of the anode layer and / or cathode is carried out at a temperature between 300 ° C and 1000 ° C, preferably between 400 ° C and 800 ° C, and even more preferably between 500 ° C and 700 ° C.

According to the invention, the method of manufacturing a battery comprises a step c) of depositing a layer of electrolyte material. The layer of electrolyte material is deposited on the layer of anode material, and / or on the layer of cathode material.
The deposition of a solid electrolyte layer on the anode and / or cathode layer makes it possible to protect the electrochemical cell from an internal short circuit. It also allows for a fully solid battery with a long life, and simple manufacturing. The layer of electrolyte material is preferably deposited by electrophoresis.

Advantageously, the solid electrolyte layer is deposited by electrophoresis of nanoparticles of electrolyte material, electrically insulating. The layers obtained are completely covering, without localized defects. The density of the deposition current is concentrated on the less insulating zones, in particular localized areas where a defect is possibly present. Advantageously, in order to improve the performance of the battery, the electrolyte layer is then dried and consolidated by heat treatment. The absence of defects in the electrolyte layer prevents the appearance of creeping short circuit, excessive self-discharge, or even failure of the battery cell.
The performance of the batteries obtained by the process according to the invention is partly due to the structure of the electrolyte material (s). To obtain a good performance of the battery, it is advantageous to obtain an electrolyte made of amorphous glass, or nanocrystalline structures. Thus, to prevent grain growth of the electrolyte materials after their deposition, and to avoid creating reactions at the interfaces, the assembly of the battery must not be carried out at a high temperature, ie the temperature must not exceed 500 ° C, and preferably should be below 350 ° C.
According to the invention, after the deposition of the layer of electrolyte material, a layer of an ionic conductive material is produced: o either on the layer of anode material coated with a layer of solid electrolyte material and / or on the layer of cathode material coated or not with a layer of solid electrolyte material; or on the layer of cathode material coated with a layer of solid electrolyte material and / or on the layer of anode material coated or not with a layer of solid electrolyte material.
Preferably the ionic conductive material is selected from inorganic salts, and may be dissolved in a solvent; this solvent makes it possible to make these materials sufficiently fluid so that they can be applied. This fluidity is necessary to imbibe the porosities of the support when the latter contains residual porosities, and / or to deposit a thin film of a few tens or even hundreds of nanometers on the surface of the solid electrolyte film when the latter is consolidated.
A solvent for dissolving the ionic conductor may be employed to facilitate its application; this solvent being completely removed during a subsequent drying step of the layer obtained after the deposition of this solution.
After drying, a layer of an ionically conductive material is obtained. The battery thus obtained does not include any material in the liquid phase.
In one embodiment of the process according to the invention, the ionically conductive material is deposited directly by dip-coating, dip-spin coating, roll coating, doctoring. blade), electrospray, or electrophoresis. For this purpose, the ionic conductive material is first dissolved in a suitable solvent, the ionic conductive material dissolved on the layer (s) of anode, cathode and / or electrolyte is deposited and then the layer is dried. of ionic conductive material to remove the solvent. Such a deposition of an ionic conductive material makes it possible to considerably increase the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and to improve the adhesion between the layer on which the ionic conductive material has been deposited and the layer facing it, which may be a layer of anode, cathode or electrolyte. This improvement is essentially related to the fact that these bonding materials have low melting temperatures for sintering in solution during assembly or very malleable mechanical properties to ensure perfect filling contacts between two rough interfaces.
Preferably, the ionically conductive material employed in step d) is selected from: a. the silicates, preferably chosen from U2Si205, Li2SiO3I Li2Si206, LiAISiO4, Li4SiO4, LiAISi206 b. the glass-ceramic compounds selected from Li3B03-Li2SO4, Li3B03-Li2SiO4, Li3B03-Li2SO4Li2SiO4, c. ionic conductors of lithium ions selected from: LiCl, LiBr, LiI, LiF, LiBH4, LiH, LiOH, LiBO2, LiPO3, LiNO3, Li3N, Li2SO4, LiVO3, Li2MoO4, Li2B407, or a mixture of these compounds. d. solid electrolytes of the anti-perovskite type chosen from: Li 3 OA with a halide or a mixture of halides, preferably at least one of F, Cl, Br, I or a mixture of two or three or four of these elements; Wherein a divalent metal, preferably at least one of Mg, Ca, Ba, Sr or a mixture of two or three or four of these elements, has a halide or a mixture of halides, preferably at least one of F, Cl, Br, I or a mixture of two or three or four of these elements; Li (3.x) Nx / 30A with 0 <x <3, N a trivalent metal, A halide or a mixture of halides, preferably at least one of F, Cl, Br, I or a mixture two or three or four of these elements; or LiCOXzY (i.z), with X and Y halogenides and 0 <z <1.
Advantageously, the ionically conductive materials of the lithium ions (LiCl, LiBr, LiF, LiF, LiBH4, LiH, LiOH, LiBO2, LiPO3, LiNO3, Li3N, Li2SO4, LiVO3, Li2MoO4, Li2B407, or a mixture of these compounds) comprise at least an additional compound, preferably chosen from among the halide salts, and advantageously chosen from the KCl, KBr, KI, KF, NaCl, NaBr, NaI and NaF salts.
According to a particular embodiment of the method of the invention, the electrodes (anode and cathode) are punched according to a cutting pattern in order to make cuts to the dimensions of the battery to be produced. The punching of the electrodes may be performed after step c) of deposition of the electrolyte layer, or after step d) of deposition of the layer of ionic conductor material. These patterns comprise three cutouts which are adjacent (for example U-shaped) and which define the size of the battery. A second slot can be arranged on the uncut side to be able to ensure the passage of products necessary for the encapsulation of the component. The anode and cathode electrodes are then stacked alternately to constitute a stack of several elementary cells. The cutting patterns of the anodes and cathodes are placed in "head-to-tail" configuration.
In another particular embodiment of the process according to the invention, the electrodes are cut before step c) of depositing the layer or layers of electrolyte, allowing the electrode edges to be covered by a film of electrolyte. electrolyte, thus protecting the contact of the electrodes with the atmosphere, and making it possible to improve the calendar life of the battery. In an alternative embodiment, the cuts are made on the substrates before the steps a) and b) of deposition of the anode and cathode layer, allowing the edges of the electrodes to be covered by an electrolyte film. This particular embodiment has the advantage of covering the electrode edges before the deposition of the layer of electrolyte material, which subsequently makes it possible to easily produce an encapsulation film around the electrodes, especially when the layer Electrolyte is composed of moisture-stable materials. The overlapping of the lateral edges of the electrodes also makes it possible to reduce the risk of short circuit in the cell.
Finally, an essential step of the method according to the invention comprises a heat treatment and / or mechanical compression of the stack obtained previously to obtain a fully solid thin-film battery. The heat treatment for assembling the battery is carried out at a temperature of between 50 and 500 ° C., preferably less than 350 ° C., and even more preferentially between 100 and 200 ° C. Advantageously, the temperature of the heat treatment does not exceed 200 ° C. Advantageously, the mechanical compression of the layers to be assembled is carried out at a pressure of between 10 and 100 MPa, preferably between 20 and 50 MPa.
In a particular embodiment, the stack is encapsulated after the stacking step and before the terminations are added, by depositing a thin encapsulation layer to protect the battery against the atmosphere. The encapsulation layer must be chemically stable, withstand high temperature and be impervious to the atmosphere to be an effective barrier layer. Preferably, the thin encapsulation layer consists of a polymer, ceramic, glass or glass-ceramic layer, which may be, for example, in the form of oxide, nitride, phosphate, oxynitride, or siloxane. Even more preferentially, this encapsulation layer is coated with an epoxy resin or silicone or parylene.
The encapsulation layer may advantageously be deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which makes it possible to have an overlap of all the surfaces of the accessible stack. Thus, the encapsulation can thus be carried out directly on the stacks, the coating being able to penetrate all the available cavities. Advantageously, a second organic encapsulation layer may be deposited on the first encapsulation layer to increase the protection of the battery cells of their external environment. Typically, the deposition of this second layer can be achieved by a silicone impregnation. The choice of such a material comes from the fact that it withstands high temperatures and the battery can thus be easily assembled by soldering on electronic cards without appearance of glass transitions.
Advantageously, the battery is encapsulated on four of the six faces of the stack. The encapsulation layers surround the periphery of the stack, the rest of the protection to the atmosphere being provided by the layers obtained by the terminations. Preferably, the cathodic and anodic connections are offset laterally, which allows the encapsulation layer to function as a dielectric to avoid the presence of a short circuit on these ends.
Once the stacking has been completed, and after the step of encapsulation of the stack if the latter is carried out, terminations (electrical contacts) are added at the level where the cathodic current collectors, respectively anodic, are apparent (uncoated). insulating electrolyte). These contact areas may be on opposite sides of the stack to collect current but also or on adjacent sides.
To achieve the endings, the stack, possibly embedded, is cut according to section planes to obtain unitary battery components, with the bare on each of the cutting plane connections (+) and (-) of drums. The connections can then be metallized using plasma deposition techniques known to those skilled in the art and / or by immersion in a conductive epoxy resin (loaded with silver) and / or a molten tin bath. The terminations make it possible to resume the alternately positive and negative electrical connections on each of the ends. These terminations make it possible to make the electrical connections in parallel between the different battery elements. For this, only the connections (+) go out on one end, and the (-) are available on the other ends.
This battery being entirely solid, and using a lithium-insertion material as anode material, the risks of formation of lithium metal dendrites during the charging steps are impaired and the insertion capacity of the lithium anode becomes limited. .
Also, in order to guarantee good cycling performance of the battery according to the invention, the battery architecture for which the surface capacitance of the cathodes is greater than or equal to the surface capacitance of the anodes is preferred.
The layers of the battery being completely solid, the risk of lithium dendrite formation no longer exists when the anode is fully charged. Thus, such a battery architecture avoids the creation of battery cell overload.
Also, the realization of such a battery with surface capacitances of cathodes greater than or equal to those of the anodes can increase the performance in terms of life, expressed in number of cycles. Indeed, the electrodes are dense and completely solid, the risk of loss of electrical contact between the particles is zero. In addition, there is no longer any risk of deposition of lithium metal in the electrolyte or in the pores of the electrodes, and finally the risk of deterioration of the crystalline structure of the cathode material is non-existent.
We indicate here some concrete procedures to realize the invention. A suspension of the anode material is prepared by grinding / dispersing a powder (for example Li4Ti50i2) in absolute ethanol (typically at about 10 g / l with a few ppm of citric acid). A suspension of cathode material is prepared by milling / dispersing a powder (eg LiMn 2 O 4), typically in water at about 10 g / L. A suspension of ceramic electrolyte material is also prepared by grinding / dispersing a powder (for example Li3Al0.4Sci, 6 (PO4) 3), typically in absolute ethanol (for example at 5 g / L). . For all these suspensions the grinding is carried out so as to obtain stable suspensions with particle sizes of less than 100 nm.
The negative electrodes may be prepared by electrophoretic deposition of Li4Ti50i2 nanoparticles contained in the suspension described above, in the form of a thin film typically deposited on both sides of a first substrate (thickness for example 1 μm); this anode layer is then heat-treated at about 600 ° C.
The positive electrodes may be prepared in the same manner, by electrophoretic deposition from the LiMn 2 O suspension described above, in the form of a thin film typically deposited on both sides of a second substrate; this cathode layer (thickness for example 1 μm) is then heat treated at about 600 ° C.
After these heat treatments, the anodes and cathode are covered with a layer of ceramic electrolyte (for example Li3Alo, 4Sci, 6 (PO4) 3, abbreviated LASP), deposited for example by EPD. A LASP thickness of about 500 nm on each electrode is suitable for this material. These electrolyte films are then dried and consolidated by heat treatment at about 600 ° C.
The ionic conductor formulation used to assemble the battery cell is as follows. A solution of an ionically conductive material, for example an aqueous solution of 0.3 mol% LiPO 3, is prepared by stoichiometric mixing of methaphosphoric acid HPO 3 and LiOH.
The electrodes coated with the solid electrolyte film are then coated with a thin layer of ionic conductors, preferably dip-coating (dipping) followed by drying for 5 hours in air. Then the anode and the cathode are stacked on their electrolyte faces coated as described above to achieve the assembly; the whole is kept under pressure (typically for 15 minutes at 500 ° C). This gives a battery that can be tested by cycling between 2 and 2.7 V.

The first invention was sought. The reasons why the inventions are not related to each other so that they form only one general inventive concept are as follows: The state of the art, which has been identified as D1, discloses a method of manufacturing a fully solid thin-film battery comprising the following successive steps: a) depositing a layer comprising at least one anode material on its conductive substrate, preferably selected from the group formed by a metal sheet, a metal strip , a metallized insulating sheet, a metallized insulating strip, a metallized insulating film, said conductive substrates, or their conductive elements, being able to serve as anode current collector; b) depositing a layer comprising at least one cathode material on its conductive substrate, preferably selected from the group formed by a metal sheet, a metal strip, a metallized insulating sheet, a metallized insulating strip, a metallized insulating film, said conductive substrates, or their conductive elements, which can serve as a cathode current collector, it being understood that steps a) and b) can be reversed; c) depositing a layer comprising at least one solid electrolyte material on at least one layer obtained in step a) and / or b) (see page 2, 1. 33-p.3, 1. 19 ); d) depositing a layer of a solution of an ionically conductive material (referred to as a bonding material in D1, see page 3, 1. 10-33)), preferably at least one lithium salt: o either on the layer of anode material coated with a layer of solid electrolyte material and / or on the layer of cathode material coated or not with a layer of solid electrolyte material; o either on the layer of cathode material coated with a layer of solid electrolyte material and / or on the layer of anode material coated or not with a layer of solid electrolyte material; e) drying said layer of said solution of ionic conductive material obtained in step d) to obtain a layer of an ionically conductive material (see page 15, 1. 3-18); the thickness of the layer of said ion-conductive material being less than 10 μm (see page 5, 1, 10-12) f) successively facing a face of a layer of anode material obtained in step a) , c) or e) with a layer of cathode material obtained in step b), c) or e), it being understood that the stack comprises at least one layer of solid electrolyte material obtained in step c ) and at least one layer of an ionically conductive material obtained in step e); g) heat treatment and / or mechanical compression of the stack obtained in step f) is performed to obtain a fully solid thin-film battery (see page 2, 1. 33-p.3.1. 19). Therefore, no technical feature of claim 1 makes a contribution to the state of the art for it to be considered as a particular technical feature. Therefore, the technical feature of claim 3 which makes a contribution to the state of the art and can be considered as a particular technical feature is that the ionically conductive material is selected from compounds a, b, c or d According to said claim The problem solved by this particular technical feature can therefore be interpreted as being to provide an alternating electrolyte. Therefore, the technical feature of claim 6 which makes a contribution to the state of the art and can be considered as a particular technical feature is that the specific method of forming the anode, cathode and electrolyte. The problem solved by this particular technical feature can therefore be interpreted as providing an alternative method of forming a battery. Therefore, the technical feature of claim 12 which makes a contribution to the state of the art and can be considered as a particular technical feature is the composition of the anode material layer. The problem solved by this particular technical feature can therefore be interpreted as providing an alternative anode material. Therefore, the technical feature of claim 13 which makes a contribution to the state of the art and can be considered as a particular technical feature is the composition of the cathode material layer. The problem solved by this particular technical feature can therefore be interpreted as providing an alternative cathode material. Therefore, the technical feature of claim 14 which makes a contribution to the state of the art and can be considered as a particular technical feature is the particular composition of the electrolyte layer. The problem solved by this particular technical feature can therefore be interpreted as providing an alternative electrolyte material. Therefore, the technical feature of claim 17 which makes a contribution to the state of the art and can be considered as a particular technical feature is the composition of the conductive substrates. The problem solved by this particular technical feature can therefore be interpreted as providing an alternative substrate. Therefore, the technical feature of claims 18-25 which makes a contribution to the state of the art and can be considered as a particular technical feature is the particular construction of the battery. The problem solved by this particular technical feature can therefore be interpreted as providing an alternative battery. Similarly, when considering the possible technical effects it appears that there is no corresponding technical effect. Consequently, neither the objective problem underlying the objects of the claimed inventions, nor their solutions defined by the particular technical features, makes it possible to establish a link between the said inventions which involves a single general inventive concept. In conclusion, groups of inventions are not related to each other by particular common or corresponding technical characteristics and they define eight different inventions that are not linked by a single general inventive concept. The present application therefore does not meet the requirements of unity of invention.
