The invention relates to a self-supporting
alloy negative
electrode and a preparation method thereof. The negative
electrode is a
composite material containing
metal, an
intermetallic compound and a
high polymer material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing a
copper foil with a circular through hole structure through a
direct current electrodeposition method, then
coating a layer of
polymer insulating film on one surface of the
copper foil, and then depositing a layer of dual-phase
alloy negative
electrode active material on the other surface of the
copper foil through a double-target co-
sputtering method. And dropwise adding a colloidal
electrolyte on the surface of the active material, curing at a certain temperature, and finally pre-embedding
lithium to obtain the final
alloy negative electrode. The prepared alloy negative electrode has outstanding electrochemical performance: the
gram volume is higher than 1000mAh / g, the
lithium intercalation and deintercalation potential is lower than 0.5 V (Vs Li / Li < + >), and the alloy negative electrode has high volume and
mass energy density; the cycle life is long, and the material can stably circulate for more than 100 cycles; the growth of
lithium dendrites can be inhibited, the risk of
short circuit is avoided, and the safety is high. The preparation method of the
electrode material is simple, and industrial large-scale production can be realized.
