Problems solved by technology

However, when the lithium aluminum alloy obtained by the above CN103290293A method is pressed to prepare alloy strips, the primary yield is low, especially when preparing high-end ultra-thin alloy strips with a thickness of 40 μm or less, the primary yield is even lower. around 25%
The low primary yield makes it difficult to apply it to lithium battery materials

[0023] The vacuum synthesis method of lithium aluminum alloy of the present invention comprises the following steps: mixing aluminum and molten metal lithium in a vacuum environment at a weight ratio of 1:24 to 999, then melting at 190 to 250°C and cooling to obtain lithium aluminum alloy.

[0024] Among them, aluminum can be single-state metal aluminum such as aluminum block, aluminum sheet, aluminum skin, aluminum wire, etc., and its aluminum content is required to be no less than 99wt%, or it can be an aluminum-lithium alloy block with a relatively high aluminum content, of which aluminum The content is 4-99wt%.

[0025] Further, in order to reduce the nitrogen content of the product, simplify production, and reduce costs, the vacuum environment has a vacuum degree of ≤0.1Pa.

[0026] Further, the above-mentioned method of melting metal lithium is to be melted by means of electricity or thermal oil heating under the atmosphere of a drying room with a dew point lower than -...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vacuum synthesis method of lithium aluminum alloy, which belongs to the field of nonferrous metallurgy and batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium metal is a silver-white light metal with light texture, good ductility, strong electrical conductivity, and excellent electrochemical performance. Its theoretical capacity is as high as 3860Ah / kg. It is one of the most suitable materials for secondary battery anode materials. Therefore, in the 1970s and 1980s, there were reports of using metal lithium as the negative electrode of secondary batteries. For example, in 1972, the American Exxon company launched the Li / TiS 2 Secondary battery, the Canadian Moli company launched Li / MoS in the late 1980s 2 secondary battery. However, since metal lithium electrodes are prone to produce dendrites during the charge and discharge process, if the dendrites fall off from the plate, the electrical contact with the plate will be broke...
