Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the high reactivity, high viscosity and good ductility of metal lithium itself make it difficult to synthesize micro-nanoscale metal lithium powders by mechanical pulverization and other common methods.
The currently adopted method of dispersing metal lithium powder in inert hydrocarbon oil after melting has the following problems: the operating temperature is high and needs to exceed the melting point of metal lithium; the molten metal lithium is highly corrosive and requires relatively harsh equipment; Hydrocarbon oil with high boiling point is used to disperse the droplets of molten lithium, and hydrocarbon oil with low boiling point is also required for washing lithium powder, resulting in large environmental pollution, cumbersome preparation methods, and low production yield; the median particle size of the prepared lithium metal powder is The diameter is still large, between 10-500μm, and it is impossible to prepare lithium powder below the micron scale
[0008] Although the above-mentioned preparation method can obtain metal lithium particles of submicron-nanometer size, if the relative content of lithium metal is high, the reduction of metal lithium particles and the improvement of chemical reactivity in the ultrasonic process will affect the safety of the system. The hidden dangers also increase, and the requirements for instruments and equipment are also more stringent, which is not conducive to actual production and application

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a submicron lithium negative electrode material. The method comprises the following steps of in inert gas or dry air atmosphere, mixing metal lithium raw materials with ion liquid to obtain a mixture; in freezing medium environment, performing freezing ball milling treatment on the mixture to obtain submicron metal lithium particles dispersed in ionliquid. The principle that metal lithium can realize embrittlement in freezing environment is used; the ion liquid containing metal lithium raw materials is put into the freezing medium environment for freezing ball milling treatment; therefore the ordinary sticky and strong-ductility metal lithium has strong brittleness; in a mechanical ball milling mode, the lithium with great particle dimensions is crushed into smaller particles; the preparation time of the metal lithium particles is shortened; the preparation efficiency of the metal lithium particles is improved; products with excellent electrochemical performance are also obtained.
