Abstract

The invention relates to a lithium metal battery electrolyte accommodating aromatic compounds as diluents, and belongs to the technical field of lithium metal batteries. The electrolyte contains a lithium salt, a solvent for dissolving the lithium salt and a diluent, wherein the diluent is an aromatic compound; wherein the diluent is used for inhibiting lithium dendrites generated by uneven deposition of a lithium metal negative electrode in the lithium metal battery in the circulation process, and is used for inhibiting the lithium metal negative electrode in the lithium metal battery from reacting with an electrolyte. According to the invention, the aromatic diluent is added to dilute the high-concentration lithium salt electrolyte. Therefore, the solvation structure of the lithium saltin the electrolyte is improved to accelerate lithium ion transmission; according to the electrolyte, the degree of uneven local current density on the surface of lithium metal is reduced, lithium metal deposition is homogenized, so that growth of dendrites on the surface of the lithium metal is inhibited, the electrolyte has high conductivity, low viscosity and good wettability, the coulombic efficiency of the lithium metal battery can be effectively improved, and the cycle life of the lithium metal battery is greatly prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium metal batteries, in particular to a lithium metal battery electrolyte containing aromatic compounds as diluents. Background technique [0002] Lithium metal has a higher specific capacity (3860mAh / g) and the lowest potential (-3.04V vs. standard hydrogen electrode). Lithium metal can be used as a negative electrode in lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries, embedded cathode lithium batteries and lithium oxide cathode batteries, etc., and is a hotspot in the research of high energy density secondary batteries. However, the lithium dendrite growth and SEI film rupture that occurred during the cycle of lithium metal anodes brought safety and cycle problems to lithium metal batteries, respectively, and affected the development and commercialization of lithium metal anodes. [0003] The solution to the metal lithium anode mainly lies in controlling the morphology of lithium deposition and for...
