Problems solved by technology

Each of these methods has certain limitations. For example, the molten lithium filling method needs to melt metal lithium first, so there is a big safety hazard; the electrochemical pre-deposition lithium method involves the disassembly and reassembly of the battery, so the operation is complicated and difficult. Realize large-scale production; it is difficult to achieve uniform mixing between metal lithium and the compound in the repeated rolling method (patent application number 201710051717.2)
In addition, these methods are difficult to guarantee batch-to-batch reproducibility and product consistency

Abstract

A sandwiched-structure composite metal lithium negative electrode and a preparation method thereof belong to the technical field of a secondary battery. The sandwiched-structure composite negative electrode is formed by laminating a current collector, a lithium belt and an interface layer from bottom to top. The preparation method of the sandwiched-structure composite metal lithium negative electrode comprises the steps of firstly, preparing paste from an interface layer material, coating the paste on a metal foil or a separator, and drying for use; secondly, sequentially laminating the current collector, the lithium belt and the metal foil or the separator coated with the interface layer material, and rolling the three layers by a rolling machine; and finally, stripping the metal foil orthe separator of a sandwiched-structure surface layer obtained by pressing to further obtain the composite metal lithium negative electrode with the interface layer. The preparation method is convenient to operate and simple in process, automatic roll formation and continuous production can be achieved, and meanwhile, the product consistency and the reproducibility among batches can be ensured. With the sandwiched-structure composite metal lithium negative electrode obtained by the method, the lithium dendrites growth can be improved, and the cycle lifetime of the battery is prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal lithium negative electrode of a secondary battery and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a roll-to-roll continuous preparation of a composite metal lithium negative electrode with a sandwich structure and the preparation thereof, belonging to the technical field of secondary batteries. Background technique [0002] Metal-lithium batteries (such as lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries) have become a research hotspot in the field of chemical power sources because of their higher theoretical energy density than existing commercial lithium-ion batteries. Metal lithium anode is a key component of metal lithium batteries, and its safe application has become a decisive factor for the next generation of high energy density metal lithium batteries. [0003] Metal lithium anode has a very high theoretical specific capacity (3860mAh g -1 ) and extremely low potential (-3.04 V, compared to standard hydrogen ...
