The invention relates to the technical field of
lithium batteries, and provides a modified planar
current collector, a preparation method thereof, a
lithium electrode and a
lithium battery. The modified planar
current collector comprises a two-dimensional
planar substrate and patterned
heterojunction arrays constructed on the surface of the two-dimensional
planar substrate, and the patterned
heterojunction arrays are uniform in shape and have lithium affinity. According to the invention, a uniformly patterned
heterojunction lithium-philic region enables the
electric field distribution to be more uniform, enables the lithium
ion flux to be more uniform, and also improves the wettability of an
electrolyte (which can be proved by a
contact angle test result). According to the invention, the
surface energy of the
planar substrate material is adjusted, the wettability with
electrolyte is enhanced, uniform and compact lithium deposition can be realized, and the overall
energy density is improved. Besides, the modified planar
current collector is simple to operate, can be repeated easily and is in uniform preparation; the construction of a ultrathin lithium foil is easy to realize, and the use of excessive lithium of the
lithium battery is avoided.
