The invention provides a
lithium-aluminum
alloy negative
electrode and a preparation method and application thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: in a protective gas, an
aluminum foil, a
lithium sheet, a diaphragm and an
electrolyte are adopted to prepare a
battery cell, the
aluminum foil is a positive
electrode, and the
lithium sheet is a negative
electrode; the method comprises the following steps: preparing an
aluminum foil on the surface of a
battery cell, then discharging the
battery cell with the discharging
voltage range of 0.03-0.4 V to generate a beta-LiAl
alloy layer on the surface of at least one side of the aluminum foil, disassembling the battery
cell after discharging is finished, and taking the disassembled aluminum foil loaded with the beta-LiAl
alloy layer on the surface as the lithium-aluminum alloy negative electrode. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, the lithium-aluminum alloy with a fixed
crystal form is formed on the surface of the aluminum foil in advance, and the conversion of the beta-LiAl alloy between a lithium-rich state and a lithium-poor state is realized by regulating and controlling the
voltage range in the charging and discharging process, and the conversion between phases is not involved, so that the
cycling stability of the battery is improved, and the service life of the battery is prolonged. The problem that the
volume change of the lithium-aluminum alloy in the charging and discharging process is large is solved.
