Abstract:

All-solid-state lithium batteries are the next generation of batteries,which are expected to replace existing lithium-ion batteries due to their high energy density and high safety.Sulfide solid state electrolytes have attracted much attention from researchers because of their high ionic conductivity and excellent mechanical properties,however,the main factor limiting their application is their high price,which is attributed to the high cost of lithium sulfide,the key raw material for the preparation of sulfide solid state electrolytes.Lithium sulphide is highly susceptible to hydrolysis and the synthesis process is complex.The current status of laboratory synthesis of lithium sulfide was reviewed,and the advantages and disadvantages of various methods were analysed.In response to the high cost of synthesizing lithium sulfide in the laboratory,the current synthesis threshold of lithium sulfide from the industry side was analyzed,the mainstream process technology routes in the current industry side was summarized,and the tonnage threshold of mainstream process technology routes was analyzed and compared.The industrialization prospects of four mainstream technology routes were compare from six dimensions:raw material safety,product quality,raw material cost,difficulty of industrial equipment development,technological defense,and production safety.The challenges and development directions faced by the industrialization of lithium sulfide was discussed.

Key words: lithium sulfide, preparation method, inexpensive, industrialization analysis
