Abstract

The invention discloses a gas phase synthesis method of a lithium metal negative electrode porous Zn current collector with controllable thickness, and relates to a lithium metal battery. The distancebetween a target material and a substrate is increased before the target material is sputtered by adopting a plasma magnetic control sputtering method; the target material is installed, a radio frequency power supply is connected, the substrate is fixed to a vacuum chamber indoor substrate, and vacuumizing is carried out; a flow meter and a molecular pump are adjusted to enable gas Ar to enter achamber, the power supply is turned on to adjust the power, and pre-sputtering is started; the deposition rate of a porous thin film is measured through a scanning electron microscope, the porous thinfilm is directly deposited on a silicon wafer to test the sizes and shapes of nano particles, and the porous thin film is directly deposited on a copper sheet to serve as a lithium metal negative electrode current collector assembled semi-battery, and the coulombic efficiency of the lithium metal negative electrode current collector assembled semi-battery is tested; and a porous metal Zn thin film is used as a working electrode, lithium metal is used as a reference and counting electrode, and a polypropylene diaphragm is used as a diaphragm. A prepared porous lithium metal film has the advantages of being not restrained by the melting point and hardness of materials, simple in process, high in yield and the like, and is suitable for scientific research and large-scale production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lithium metal battery, in particular to a gas-phase synthesis method of a lithium metal negative electrode porous Zn current collector with controllable thickness. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries play a very important role in energy storage and conversion systems. Especially since the 1990s, various portable commercial electronic devices have further accelerated the development of lithium-ion batteries. In recent years, the development of new energy vehicles has put forward higher requirements for batteries. [1,2] However, the current commercial graphite negative electrode has a low theoretical specific capacity (372mAhg -1 ), it is difficult to meet the increasing energy density demand of the consumer market. [3-5] Therefore, the research and development of high capacity, long cycle life and safe anode materials has become an urgent task to be solved. [0003] The lithium metal anode has a very high th...
