The invention discloses an interface modification method for preparing a negative-
electrode-free
lithium metal battery by utilizing
ultraviolet polymerization tannic acid composite Ag particles. The interface modification method is used for solving the problems that a negative
electrode of a negative-
electrode-free
lithium metal battery in the prior art is poor in
lithium affinity, relatively large in
nucleation obstruction, non-uniform in lithium deposition, relatively poor in lithium stripping / plating reversibility and the like. The method comprises the specific steps that the Cu foil is placed in
hydrochloric acid to be shaken and oscillated, and then deionized water and ethyl
alcohol are used for repeatedly cleaning the Cu foil for three times; and preparing a
phosphate buffer solution. Dispersing
tannic acid in a
phosphate buffer solution to obtain a
polymerization solution; and the cleaned Cu foil is placed in a
polymerization solution and irradiated by an
ultraviolet lamp, and the Cu foil with the poly-
tannic acid film on the surface is obtained. And the
copper foil with the tannic acid film on the surface is further placed in an AgNO3 solution for reaction, and then the Cu foil with the poly-tannic acid film interface compounded with Ag particles is obtained. The poly-tannic acid thin film compounded with the Ag particles improves the interface of the Cu foil to a certain degree. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the lithium
nucleation obstruction and the lithium
nucleation overpotential of the Cu foil negative electrode are reduced, and the reversibility of plating / stripping lithium is enhanced, so that an SEI film formed at a negative
electrode interface is more stable. And moreover, the generation of lithium dendrites can be effectively inhibited, the cycle performance and safety of the battery are improved, and the cycle service life of the battery is prolonged.
