Comparative example 1, which had a discharge capacity of 175.9mAh/g at a 0.1C rate and a coulombic efficiency of 83.1%, had a capacity retention rate of 87.7% after 50 weeks of cycle at a 1.0C rate and a discharge capacity of 140.6mAh/g at 5.0C. The performance of the battery obtained by respectively preparing the anode and the cathode and reassembling the electrolyte through 3D printing is inferior to that of the battery prepared continuously through 3D printing.
Comparative example 2, which has a discharge capacity of 170.1mAh/g at 0.1C rate and a coulombic efficiency of 80.8%, has a capacity retention rate of 80.9% after 50 weeks of cycling at 1.0C rate, and has a discharge capacity of 152.9mAh/g at 5.0C. It can be seen that excessive addition of the photo-curing functional agent in the positive electrode is unfavorable for the exertion of the electrochemical performance of the battery.
Comparative example 3, which has a discharge capacity of 180.1mAh/g at 0.1C rate and a coulombic efficiency of 87.8%, has a capacity retention rate of 89.3% after 50 weeks of cycling at 1.0C rate, and has a discharge capacity of only 141.3mAh/g at 5.0C. It can be seen that excessive addition of the photo-curing functional agent in the composite electrolyte is unfavorable for the exertion of the electrochemical performance of the battery.
Comparative example 4 has a discharge capacity of only 141.5mAh/g at 0.1C rate, a coulombic efficiency of 75.6%, a capacity retention rate of only 65.2% after 50 weeks of cycling at 1.0C rate, and a discharge capacity of only 91.3mAh/g at 5.0C. The selection of the visible light curing functional agent is very important to the quality of the electrochemical performance of the battery.
Comparative example 5 has a discharge capacity of only 135.1mAh/g at 0.1C rate, a coulombic efficiency of 72.2%, a capacity retention of only 56.7% after 50 weeks of cycling at 1.0C rate, and a discharge capacity of only 68.9mAh/g at 5.0C. In the ink direct writing printing process, relatively more binder is required to be added to promote the forming of a printing piece, so that the quantity of active matters in an electrode is relatively small, and the technology is not suitable for electrolyte printing due to excessive additives and prevents lithium ion migration. The ink direct-writing printing technique is not suitable for solid-state battery integrated continuous printing.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention.
