Problems solved by technology

First, the lithium dendrite problem, that is, the growth of lithium dendrites during the charge-discharge cycle of the battery can cause internal short circuits and serious safety issues in the battery, and it can also cause repeated damage to the SEI film to cause reactions between metal lithium and the electrolyte.
Second, the cycle efficiency is low. There are two reasons: the repeated damage and repair of the SEI film on the surface of lithium metal during charging and discharging, which consumes lithium metal and shortens the battery life; the generation of irreversible "dead lithium" will also reduce the lithium metal battery capacity
However, a single 3D current collector cannot realize the directional deposition of lithium metal, so lithium is easy to deposit on the surface of the 3D current collector during high-power charging and discharging, which cannot effectively inhibit the dendrite from piercing the separator, causing serious safety hazards.

Abstract

The invention relates to a composite 3D current collector and its preparation and application. The composite 3D current collector is prepared by a freeze-drying method with a porous conductive material as the 3D conductive skeleton and a lithium-philic carbon material as the internal filler; the prepared 3D The current collector has a high surface area and a large lithium storage space, which is beneficial to reduce the actual current density of lithium deposition and prevent lithium dendrites from piercing the separator; on the other hand, the introduction of lithium-friendly materials can achieve directional deposition of lithium metal and enhance the uniformity of deposition. The 3D current collector is used in the negative electrode collector of lithium metal batteries. Through the synergistic effect of the above two aspects, it can greatly improve the cycle stability of the lithium metal negative electrode and the safety performance of the battery, and has important practical application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium secondary batteries, in particular to current collector technology for lithium secondary batteries, in particular to a composite 3D current collector and its preparation and application. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the economy, people consume more and more energy, and the non-renewable resources are decreasing day by day, which makes the field of batteries get more and more attention. Among the existing batteries, lithium-ion batteries are the most researched. Although the energy density of lithium-ion batteries is higher than that of lead-acid and nickel-metal hydride batteries, it still cannot meet people's needs for higher energy densities. Therefore, researchers will focus on research transferred to lithium metal secondary batteries. The high specific capacity (3860mAh / g) and low reduction potential (-3.04V vs SHE) of lithium metal make it the most promising an...
