Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lithium-ion-conducting composite material and process of producing are provided. The composite material includes at least one polymer and lithium-ion-conducting particles. The particles have a sphericity Ψ of at least 0.7. The composite material includes at least 20 vol % of the particles for a polydispersity index PI of the particle size distribution of <0.7 or are present in at least 30 vol % of the composite material for the polydispersity index in a range from 0.7 to <1.2, or are present in at least 40 vol % of the composite material for the polydispersity index of >1.2.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lithium-ion-conducting composite material, comprising: a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyethylene oxide, derivatives of polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl butyral, and combinations thereof; and lithium-ion-conducting particles having a sphericity Ψ of at least 0.7, wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles comprise a lithium-ion-conducting compound selected from the group consisting of lithium lanthanum zirconate (LLZO), lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LATP), and combinations thereof, wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles have a polydispersity index of at least 0.7 and are present in at least 30 vol % of the composite material, and wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles have an average particle diameter of 0.02 μm to 100 μm. 2. The lithium-ion-conducting composite material of claim 1 , wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles have an average particle diameter of 0.2 μm to 2 μm. 3. The lithium-ion-conducting composite material of claim 1 , wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles have an average particle diameter of 5 μm to 70 μm. 4. The lithium-ion-conducting composite material of claim 1 , wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles are spray calcination particles. 5. The lithium-ion-conducting composite material of claim 4 , wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles are pulsation reactor particles. 6. A lithium-ion-conducting composite material, comprising: a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyethylene oxide, derivatives of polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl butyral, and combinations thereof; and lithium-ion-conducting particles having a sphericity Ψ of at least 0.9, wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles comprise a lithium-ion-conducting compound selected from the group consisting of lithium lanthanum zirconate (LLZO), lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LATP), and combinations thereof, and wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles have a polydispersity index of >1.2 and are present in at least 40 vol % of the composite material, and wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles have an average particle diameter of 0.02 μm to 100 μm. 7. The lithium-ion-conducting composite material of claim 1 , wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles have a sphericity Ψ of at least 0.9. 8. The lithium-ion-conducting composite material of claim 1 , wherein the lithium-ion-conducting particles have a polydispersity index of >1.2 and are present in least 40 vol % of the composite material.
