Problems solved by technology

However, the method of filling the active material in the current collector hole increases the contact area between the active material and the electrolyte, which will bring more electrode-electrolyte interface side reactions; and the inhibition of the volume expansion of the active material during the cycle The role is to reserve enough expandable space for the active material before the battery cycle
More importantly, although the active material can be added according to the preset amount during the electrode fabrication process, the actual filling amount of the active material in the current collector hole is difficult to control, and there are a lot of spaces in the current collector hole that are not effectively filled by the active material, that is, The space reserved for the expansion of the active material in the current collector hole is much larger than the space required for the actual expansion of the active material. The actual space utilization of the current collector is relatively low, and it is difficult to guarantee the consistency of electrodes produced in different batches.
These defects make the method of simply combining three-dimensional current collectors and active materials unable to improve battery energy density and cycle life in an ideal way.

Abstract

The porous current collector and its preparation method and lithium battery, the porous current collector includes a current collector matrix with a pore structure, a solid electrolyte layer is attached to the surface of the current collector matrix and the inner surface of the hole, and the solid electrolyte layer is at least one layer. The porous current collector is used as the negative electrode sheet of the lithium battery, and there is no need to fill the electrode active material on the negative electrode sheet. The present invention adopts a three-dimensional porous current collector, and attaches a solid electrolyte layer on the surface of the current collector matrix and in the pores. There are a large number of The space can accommodate the lithium deposited during lithium battery charging. During the repeated deposition and extraction of lithium, the volume of the current collector itself remains unchanged, reducing the adverse effects of repeated volume changes of lithium metal during the cycle. At the same time, the solid electrolyte The layer can inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites and improve the cycle performance of lithium batteries. The invention does not directly use lithium metal during battery production, does not require strict environmental control, and reduces the production cost of lithium batteries.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium batteries, and in particular relates to a current collector with a porous structure, a preparation method thereof and a lithium battery. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and grid energy storage technologies, the demand for high-energy-density, high-safety batteries and energy storage systems has become increasingly urgent. Among the electrochemical energy storage devices that have been commercialized, lithium-ion batteries have become the best choice for people because of their advantages such as high energy density and long cycle life. However, due to the limitation of electrode materials, the progress of research on how to further increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries is relatively slow.
