Problems solved by technology

Mainly, there are two very serious problems in the direct use of metal lithium as the negative electrode: (1) metal lithium is too active, and almost all electrolytes will have side reactions, resulting in the consumption of battery active materials and low Coulombic efficiency; (2) in the electrochemical cycle In the process, because there is no skeleton binding effect, the uneven deposition of lithium ions can easily lead to the generation of "lithium dendrites" and "dead lithium", which also makes the unstable solid electrolyte membrane (SEI) vulnerable and more serious The most important thing is that the continuous growth of dendrites will puncture the diaphragm, causing safety hazards
However, these methods cannot fundamentally solve the indiscriminate volume expansion of lithium metal and the growth of lithium dendrites.

Embodiment 1

[0035] Ti 6 Al 4 V flakes (0.3 mm) were ultrasonically cleaned in ethanol for 20 minutes, then washed 3 times with deionized water, and dried in a vacuum oven. The cleaned Ti 6 Al 4 The V-sheet is placed in the center of the tube furnace. Before the reaction, the residual oxygen in the tube was removed by pure argon to ensure that the reaction was under an inert atmosphere. After the temperature was raised to 600° C. for 1 hour, acetone gas was introduced into the reaction chamber at a flow rate of 50 sccm by argon bubbling. After reacting at 600°C for 1 hour, it was changed to pure argon and cooled to room temperature 25°C. The nanowire array substrate with TiC / C core-shell structure was prepared. Then solid metal Li (water and oxygen content are both lower than 0.1ppm) was melted in an argon-filled glove box. After the metal Li was completely melted at 300 °C, the prepared TiC / C array substrate was contacted with molten Li. After 20 s, molten liquid Li is adsorbed in t...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of negative electrode materials for lithium metal secondary batteries, in particular to a high-efficiency lithium metal composite material, a preparation method thereof, and an application as a lithium metal negative electrode material. Background technique [0002] The commercialization of lithium-ion batteries has greatly promoted the rapid development of electronic energy storage devices. However, the theoretical capacity of the negative active graphite material for lithium-ion batteries is only 372mAh g -1 , which seriously limits the further improvement of battery energy density. With the increasing demand for high-energy-density batteries for electronic products and electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries have encountered a huge development bottleneck. The mass energy density of pure Li metal is as high as 3860mAh g -1 , and has the most negative potential (-3.04V vs. standard hydrogen potential), ...
