Problems solved by technology

However, the application of lithium metal anodes is still facing great challenges.
On the one hand, metal lithium is prone to produce dendrites during the deposition process, which will pierce the separator in severe cases, resulting in a short circuit of the battery and even a safety accident.
On the other hand, the infinite volume expansion of Li metal leads to poor interfacial stability, which seriously affects the cycle performance of batteries.
In addition, the extremely active lithium metal has side reactions with the organic electrolyte, and the unstable solid electrolyte membrane (SEI) will further consume a large amount of lithium metal and electrolyte, which will eventually affect the Coulombic efficiency of the battery and shorten the battery life.

Embodiment 1

[0040] In a glove box filled with inert gas (argon), add phenylphosphonic acid to carbonate electrolyte (0.01MLiAsO 6dissolved in EC / DMC / FEC (volume ratio 1:1:1, total volume 100ml), made into an electrolyte solution with a mass fraction of phenylphosphonic acid of 0.1%, and stirred for 10 minutes to obtain the phenylphosphonic acid-containing Phosphonic acid electrolyte. The electrolyte prepared by this method is used to assemble Li||Li symmetrical battery, and the separator is PE. After the battery was cycled for 50 cycles, the surface of the electrode without phenylphosphonic acid in the electrolyte appeared obvious dendrite morphology ( figure 1 ), while the electrode surface with phenylphosphonic acid added to the electrolyte remained flat after 50 cycles. in figure 1 a and figure 1 b is the surface morphology of the electrode without adding phenylphosphonic acid, figure 1 c and figure 1 d is the surface morphology of the electrode added with phenylphosphonic acid. ...

Embodiment 2

[0042] In a glove box filled with inert gas (helium), add phenylphosphonic acid to ester electrolyte (0.5M LiPF 6 dissolved in EC / DMC / FEC (volume ratio 1:1:1, total volume 100ml), made into an electrolyte solution with a mass fraction of phenylphosphonic acid of 0.5%, and stirred for 30 minutes to obtain the phenylphosphonic acid-containing Phosphonic acid electrolyte. The electrolyte solution prepared by this method is used to assemble Li||Li symmetrical battery, and the separator is PE / PP. figure 2 After assembling the battery for the above-mentioned electrolyte solution containing 0.5wt.% phenylphosphonic acid, at a current density of 0.5mA / cm 2 , the deposition capacity is 0.5mAh / cm 2 Under the same conditions, the voltage-time diagram of the battery is stable for 480 hours, the polarization voltage is lower than 60mV, and the charge-discharge curve is stable.

Embodiment 3

[0044] Under the protection of an inert gas (helium), add phenylphosphonic acid to the ester electrolyte (1M LiBF4 dissolved in EMC / DMC / DEC, volume ratio 1:1:1, total volume 100ml) to form phenyl The solution with a mass fraction of phosphonic acid of 1% was stirred for 1 h until it was completely dissolved, and the electrolyte solution containing phenylphosphonic acid described in the present invention was obtained. The electrolyte prepared by this method is used to assemble Li||Cu batteries, with PP film as the separator, and the battery operates at 1mA / cm 2 Under the current density of , after one hour of discharge, the lithium deposited on Cu foil as image 3 shown. The results of SEM showed that the deposition of lithium on the copper foil was very uniform after adding the phenylphosphonic acid additive, and the deposited lithium showed a spherical shape; the lithium deposition on the copper foil without the additive was very uneven and showed a rod shape.
