Problems solved by technology

The specific problems include: 1) Lithium metal is in direct contact with the electrolyte, which is prone to some complex side reactions, which increases the interface impedance of the battery and affects the cycle efficiency of the battery; 2) Lithium ions cannot be deposited uniformly and densely during the cycle 3) The repeated rupture and regeneration of the unstable SEI film formed on the surface of the lithium negative electrode will continue to consume the electrolyte, resulting in a decrease in low Coulombic efficiency and irreversible capacity fading; 4) The generation of lithium dendrites will pierce the separator, resulting in battery short circuit and safety hazards

Abstract

The invention discloses a lithium metal composite negative electrode with a lithium-philic and lithium-phobic gradient structure, and a preparation method thereof. The lithium metal composite negativeelectrode is of a three-layer structure, wherein the bottom layer is a 3D porous matrix framework, the middle layer is a lithium-philic layer compounded on the 3D porous matrix framework, and the toplayer is a lithium-phobic layer compounded on the surface of the lithium-philic layer. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a 3D porous matrix skeleton, and cleaning; (2) transferring the 3D porous matrix skeleton to a prepared precursor solution; (3) forming a lithium-philic layer on the 3D porous matrix skeleton in situ by adopting a solvothermal method; (4) modifying a lithium-phobic layer on the lithium-philic layer; and (5) finally filling with lithium by adopting an electro-deposition method. According to the invention, the overpotential in the lithium metal nucleation and deposition process can be reduced by utilizing the lithium-philic layer, and the uniform deposition and dissolution of the lithium metal in the continuous cycle process are realizedby utilizing the characteristic that the lithium ion diffusion is promoted by utilizing the lithium-phobic layer, so that the growth of dendritic crystals is effectively avoided, and the cycle life ofthe lithium metal battery is greatly prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and in particular relates to a lithium metal composite negative electrode and a lithium metal battery with a lithium-affinity gradient structure. Background technique [0002] Among the existing commercial secondary batteries, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in our lives due to their high energy density, good safety performance, long charge and discharge life, and low self-discharge, such as mobile phones, portable computers, Video cameras, electric vehicles, etc. However, with the continuous update of digital products and the vigorous development of electric vehicles, the requirements for battery capacity are getting higher and higher. However, most of the current commercial lithium-ion battery anode materials are carbon materials, making it difficult to increase the overall capacity of lithium-ion batteries. It is an inevitable development trend to choose anode materials with hig...
