Problems solved by technology

The growth of lithium dendrites will react with the electrolyte, resulting in the consumption of the electrolyte, thereby reducing the cycle life of the battery. At the same time, the growth of lithium dendrites may pierce the separator and cause an internal short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes to release heat, causing The consumption and decomposition of the electrolyte may even cause the battery to burn and explode

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of energy batteries, and in particular relates to an electrode material for a lithium battery and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, the main energy storage devices include chemical power storage and mechanical energy storage. Compared with mechanical energy storage, which has higher requirements on the environment, chemical energy storage such as lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and flow batteries are widely used because of their high energy density, power density, and portability. consumer electronics and electric vehicles. [0003] Lithium metal has the lowest reduction potential (-3.04V against the standard hydrogen electrode), and the highest specific capacity is 3860mAh / g. Therefore, lithium metal is used as the negative electrode, and the battery will have the advantage of high energy density. Metal lithium as the negative electrode is a non-embedded s...
