Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing metallic lithium strips, in particular to a method for preparing a lithium strip by means of continuous electrodeposition. The method for preparing the lithium strip by means of continuous electrodeposition is provided. The method includes the following steps of a, pretreatment, b, lithium electrodeposition and c, aftertreatment which are conducted in sequence. According to the step of pretreatment, a metallic base strip is subjected to activating treatment. According to the step of lithium electrodeposition, a constant current is adopted for electrodeposition of lithium, the electric current density is controlled to be 5-50mA / cm<2> at first, and deposition lasts for 0.5-10s; and then the electric current density is adjusted to be 0.02-1mA / cm<2>, and deposition time is 1-10h. According to the step of aftertreatment, the electrodeposited metallic strip is subjected to passivation, and accordingly the metallic lithium strip is obtained. The thicknesses of all parts of the metallic lithium strip are uniform and compact, the thickness of a lithium clad layer can be regulated and controlled by regulating the electric current density and plating solution immersion time, lithium strips of various thicknesses can be prepared easily, and ultrathin lithium strips with the thicknesses being smaller than 30 microns can be prepared particularly. The method is simple, cost is low, and the metallic lithium strips can be produced in a large-scale mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing lithium metal strips, in particular to a method for preparing lithium strips by continuous electrodeposition. Background technique [0002] Lithium is a light rare metal with very broad application prospects. As one of the important elements to promote the development of science and technology in the 21st century, it is hailed as the "Energy Star" by scientists. Metal lithium ribbons have high energy density and are widely used as anode materials for metal lithium batteries, which have good application prospects. However, at present, traditional commercial lithium metal strips are mainly produced by mechanical processing. The thickness of lithium strips prepared by this technology is basically more than 100 μm, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and thin filmization of batteries. And due to the limitations of lithium toughness and equipment precision, it is difficult to prepare ultra-thin lith...
