Abstract

The invention relates to a producing method of an ultra-thin lithium flake used by a lithium metal battery. According to the method, a molten lithium ingot is cast onto an ultra-thin copper foil base material, and is supplemented by double-roll cold-pressing to produce an ultra-thin lithium ribbon used by the lithium metal battery. Compared with traditional commercially-available thicker (greater than 100 [mu]m) lithium ribbons, the ultra-thin lithium ribbon produced by the method has the thickness which can be controlled to be between 10 [mu]m and 50 [mu]m, thus increases the volume energy density of the lithium battery, is very suitable for producing flexible energy storage devices such as ultra-thin lithium batteries, can reduces the use amount of lithium, and has good practical significance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of lithium negative electrode materials for lithium metal batteries, and relates to a preparation method of an ultra-thin lithium strip. Background technique [0002] Due to the significant advantages of high specific energy and high specific power, lithium metal batteries are considered to be the power battery system with the most development potential; with the development of technology, especially the popularity of wearable electronic devices and the rapid development of new energy vehicles The development requires the battery to be thinner and thinner, and at the same time, it puts forward higher requirements for the energy density of the battery. [0003] Lithium metal anode materials have a very high theoretical capacity (3800 mAh / g), which is an ideal choice for increasing the energy density of batteries. In a system that matches the current lithium-containing cathode materials, there must be a large excess of...
