九州大学の研究チームは、全固体電池の内部挙動を可視化するシミュレーターを開発しました。全固体電池は安全性と高容量が期待される次世代電池ですが、充電時の活物質の体積膨張(シリコンでは最大300%)により劣化しやすく、寿命が短い課題がありました。本シミュレーターは、活物質粒子の膨張・収縮と電池内部の構造変化を統合的に解析し、電池の性能低下メカニズムを解明します。この技術は、全固体電池の高性能化と早期実用化に貢献すると期待されています。研究成果は「Advanced Functional Materials」に掲載されました。

Abstract

To advance the understanding of the mechanical degradation in silicon (Si) anodes, an electrochemical particle simulation model employing the discrete element method is developed. This model integrates lithium-ion (Li-ion) transfer, electrochemical reactions, and charge expansion into a particle physics depiction of a Si anode half-cell. The impact of fabrication pressures and stack pressure on the contact area, cell voltage, and degradation is examined. The charge performance primarily depends on stress overpotential and Li-ion conduction. Conversely, the discharge performance is chiefly constrained by Li-ion conduction, percolation of the electron conducting network, and bottleneck diffusion resistance in areas with minimal contact between the active material (AM) and solid electrolyte (SE). These resistances are markedly reduced by elevating fabrication pressure, which decrease porosity and mitigate delamination between AM and SE. Furthermore, the dynamics of isobaric expansion differ from the constrained case, with the porosity and Li-ion conduction resistance notably increasing alongside the state of charge. The insights gained from this study establish a robust foundation for enhancing the performance and longevity of Si all-solid-state batteries anodes.
