The invention discloses a
lithium metal negative
electrode with
volume expansion adaptivity as well as a preparation method and application thereof, belongs to the technical field of
lithium metal batteries, and provides a preparation method of the
lithium metal negative
electrode with
volume expansion adaptivity, which comprises the following steps: soaking a
carbon felt in a
mixed solution of metal salt and a
sulfur source, performing
hydrothermal treatment, and cooling, thereby obtaining the
lithium metal negative
electrode with
volume expansion adaptivity. Pre-treated
carbon felt is obtained; washing with deionized water, and
drying to obtain a sulfurized
carbon felt; taking a piece of lithium foil and two pieces of
carbon sulfide felts, respectively covering the upper part and the lower part of the lithium foil with the
carbon sulfide felts, and rolling to obtain a
carbon sulfide felt and
lithium metal compound; and heating and reacting to obtain the
lithium metal negative electrode. One or more sulfides grow on the commercial carbon felt, lithium metal is modified through simple rolling, the lithium metal electrode is obtained, the strength of the electrode is higher than that of the lithium metal, and the electrode has good mechanical performance; the phenomena of non-uniform deposition and dendritic
crystal growth of lithium metal are retarded, and the volume expansion self-
adaptive capacity of the battery is improved.
