Problems solved by technology

However, the protective film formed in situ by this electrolyte additive on the surface of the lithium anode is generally weak in strength, and will be repeatedly destroyed and regenerated during the lithium deposition and dissolution process, which cannot inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites and prevent the electrolyte from forming on the lithium anode. The effect of side reactions on the surface
Another strategy is to deposit or sputter a layer of solid electrolyte film material with lithium ion conductivity on the surface of the lithium anode. This film material is generally an inorganic ceramic material, but the disadvantage is that it is relatively brittle and the processing and manufacturing process is complicated. , it is easy to break during the battery charge and discharge process and use, resulting in failure of the protective layer

Abstract

The invention discloses a graphene-based protection layer on the surface of a metal lithium anode and a corresponding lithium-sulfur battery. A composite protection layer containing a graphene material is built on the surface of a metal lithium anode of a lithium-sulfur battery through in-situ electrochemical reaction. Materials required for preparing the protection layer are divided into inorganic compounds and organic polymer materials; a layered stack structure of the graphene in the protection layer is capable of inhibiting the lithium anode from generating lithium dendrites in repeated deposition and dissolution processes; and inorganic components between graphene sheets are subjected to in-situ electrochemical reaction with the lithium anode after being infiltrated through an electrolyte to form a lithium ion channel between graphene layers, thereby isolating the contact of the lithium anode and the electrolyte and playing a role in protecting a cathode. Relatively high capacitydeveloping performance and stable cycle performance can be obtained through applying the lithium anode with the graphene-based protection layer to a lithium-sulfur battery system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a graphene-based protective layer on the surface of a lithium metal anode and a lithium-sulfur battery system using the lithium anode. Background technique [0002] The lithium-sulfur battery system uses metal lithium as the anode and elemental sulfur as the cathode. The theoretical energy density of the system is as high as 2600Wh / kg, which is 5 to 8 times that of lithium-ion batteries. At present, the energy density of its commercial devices has reached 350Wh / kg, and Sulfur is a common industrial waste, which has the advantages of non-toxicity, large reserves, low price, and environmental friendliness. Therefore, this system is expected to become a new generation of energy storage system after lithium-ion batteries, and it will be applied to vehicle power batteries, 3C electronics, etc. products etc. In recent years, relevant research work and reports on lithium-sulfur battery systems have been very active, and related indus...
