Problems solved by technology

[0007] Therefore, the negative electrode active material capable of participating in the electrochemical reaction is gradually lost, whereby the Coulombic efficiency decreases and the lifetime of the lithium metal battery may be shortened
[0008] In addition, Li dendrites grown from the surface of the Li metal anode penetrate the separator and reach the cathode, and may cause an internal short circuit of the Li metal battery, which is directly related to safety issues such as fire and explosion.

Embodiment 1 to 3

[0108] (1) Preparation of poly(ALA-S)

[0109] Preparation of α-lipoic acid (ALA) powder and sulfur molecule (S 8 ) The weight ratio of the powder is each mixture of 8:2 (Example 1), 5:5 (Example 2) and 3:7 (Example 3), and then the internal temperature is controlled at 160 ° C with an inert gas atmosphere Heat treatment in the reactor for 3 hours.

[0110] The polymers thus obtained are collectively referred to as poly(ALA-S). In addition, according to the mixing ratio of raw materials, poly(ALA:S 8 )_x:y, where x:y corresponds to ALA and S in the manufacturing raw materials 8 weight ratio. Specifically, poly(ALA:S 8 )_8:2 is the polymer of Example 1, poly(ALA:S 8 )_5:5 is the polymer of Example 2, poly(ALA:S 8 )_3:7 is the polymer of Example 3.

Description

[technical field] [0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0085902 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on July 16, 2019, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0003] The invention relates to a lithium metal negative electrode and a lithium metal battery comprising the same. [Background technique] [0004] Lithium metal batteries are secondary batteries using lithium metal (Li-metal) as the negative electrode active material, and can exhibit high theoretical capacity (3860 mAh / g) and low standard reduction potential (-3.040 V vs. SHE). Therefore, lithium metal batteries have attracted much attention as next-generation batteries replacing lithium-ion batteries using carbon-based negative active materials such as graphite. [0005] However, due to the high reactivity of Li metal, low Coulombic efficiency, short lifetime, and low...
