Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventors have found that the prior art has at least the following problems: the existing lithium metal electrodes used for lithium metal secondary batteries will expand in volume during charging and discharging, which affects the performance of lithium metal secondary batteries. Stability and cycle performance; at the same time, during the long-term charge and discharge process, lithium will deposit on the surface of the negative electrode to form lithium dendrites. When the lithium dendrites grow to the point that they can pierce the separator of lithium metal secondary batteries, it will cause a short circuit and cause an explosion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, in particular to a lithium metal electrode and a preparation method thereof, a negative electrode of a lithium metal secondary electrode, and a battery. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, the research and development of high energy density batteries has become increasingly important. A lithium metal secondary battery is a rechargeable lithium battery with a lithium metal electrode as the negative electrode. According to different cathode materials, lithium metal secondary batteries mainly include lithium metal air batteries and lithium sulfur batteries. Since metal lithium has a very high theoretical specific capacity (3860mAh / g), the most negative reduction potential (-3.04V, relative to the hydrogen standard potential) and a very small density (0.59g / cm 3 ), so the energy density of lithium metal second...
