Problems solved by technology

The deposited lithium reacts with the electrolyte to consume active lithium, resulting in the loss of active lithium and the thickening of the SEI film on the surface, resulting in the loss of battery capacity and the reduction of battery life
The growth of lithium dendrites on the negative electrode and the formation of dead lithium can easily pierce the separator and cause a short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, thereby causing safety issues
[0005] Because lithium metal is very active, it reacts when it comes into contact with air, and it is not sensitive to electrons, so it is difficult to detect it. It is difficult to detect lithium precipitated from the negative electrode by means of energy spectroscopy and XRD.
At present, the detection method of lithium ionization at the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries is relatively simple, mainly through the morphology analysis after the battery is disassembled. Generally, only when a large amount of dendrites are formed on the surface of the electrode can it be observed by scanning electron microscope or optical microscope. battery safety may have been compromised

Embodiment 1

[0038] Provided in the present embodiment is to realize the detection method of lithium on the surface of lithium sheet according to the following steps:

[0039] 1. DMC solution configuration of zinc nitrate: dry zinc nitrate (dried at 110-130°C), after drying, take out 10g of zinc nitrate and dissolve it in 100mL of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) solution to form zinc nitrate of organic solutions.

[0040] 2. Reaction of lithium flakes with zinc nitrate: soak metal lithium flakes in the DMC solution of zinc nitrate, find that the surface of lithium flakes with metallic luster turns black rapidly, and after 30 minutes, the surface of lithium flakes almost all turns black, and there is no change in continuing immersion. To ensure that the reaction is complete, the soaking time used in the experiment is 1-2 hours. The scanning electron microscope test was carried out on the lithium sheet before and after immersion, and the figure 1 It can be seen that the surface of the original li...
