Problems solved by technology

(3) From the perspective of the negative electrode interface, firstly, the initial dendrite protrusions at the interface between the negative electrode and the electrolyte cause uneven local charge distribution and accelerate the growth of lithium dendrites; secondly, the formation of lithium dendrites at the negative electrode makes the cycle process The solid electrolyte interface film (Solid ElectrolyteInterface, SEI) is continuously regenerated on the surface of lithium metal, which affects the coulombic efficiency of the battery
However, the above-mentioned diaphragm has poor thermal deformation resistance, which will increase the probability of contact between the positive and negative electrodes of the lithium battery.

preparation example Construction

[0034] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet for a lithium metal battery, comprising the following steps:

[0035] Under the condition of protective atmosphere, apply physical pressure to compound the sponge and lithium sheet to obtain the negative electrode sheet.

[0036] First, cut the sponge to the required thickness, and then cut it to get a certain size of sponge piece;

[0037] Then superimpose the sponge sheet and the lithium sheet, and apply physical pressure under the condition of protective atmosphere to obtain a composite sheet;

[0038] Wherein, the protective atmosphere condition is selected from argon atmosphere, and the water and oxygen content in the protective atmosphere are all less than 0.1ppm. In the present invention, the compression process of the sponge sheet and the lithium sheet is preferably carried out in a glove box. The present invention preferably employs a hydraulic encapsulation machine to apply...

[0074] Lithium metal battery preparation and half-cell coulombic efficiency test of sponge, metal lithium composite elastic interface material without diaphragm structure design:

[0075] The sponge with a thickness of 2.5 mm prepared in Example 1 was used to prepare a new type of composite electrode, and a new type of lithium metal battery was assembled by designing a non-diaphragm structure. The difference from Example 1 is that the battery structure used to test the coulombic efficiency of the half-cell is: negative electrode casing, lithium sheet-sponge, electrolyte, copper sheet, gasket, shrapnel, and positive electrode casing. see Figure 5 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of a lithium metal battery (model: CR2032) designed for the sponge-metal lithium composite electrode without a diaphragm structure for testing the Coulombic efficiency in Example 2 of the present invention.

Abstract

The invention provides a negative pole piece for a lithium metal battery, which is formed by pressing a metal lithium piece and a sponge. When the negative pole piece provided by the present invention is applied to a lithium metal battery, the structure of the traditional lithium metal battery can be simplified, and a sponge elastic interface layer can be introduced instead of the diaphragm to play an electronic barrier effect. The introduction of this elastic interface material can relieve the battery cycle Volume changes as well as interfacial instability inside the battery. In addition, the wettability between the sponge medium layer and the electrolyte is very good, and it has stronger thermal deformation resistance than the commonly used polypropylene diaphragm (Polypropylene). At the same time, the elastic three-dimensional skeleton structure of the sponge is conducive to inhibiting the dendrite growth during the cycle of lithium metal batteries; it is also conducive to alleviating the volume change of the negative electrode. Therefore, this composite metal lithium anode with no separator structure designed using sponge materials can promote the further development of lithium metal batteries from another perspective.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium metal batteries, and in particular relates to an electrode sheet for a lithium metal battery, a preparation method thereof, and a lithium metal battery. Background technique [0002] On the one hand, due to the current highest theoretical capacity (3860mA h g -1 ), the lowest electrochemical potential (-3.04V), lower density (0.534g cm -3 ) and other advantages, the metal lithium anode is considered to be the development direction of the next generation energy storage system. On the other hand, with the development of next-generation high-energy battery systems, such as the research and development of lithium-air batteries and lithium-sulfur batteries, the application research of lithium metal batteries has also highlighted its importance. However, due to the high activity of lithium metal itself and the unsolved problems of lithium dendrites, its safety and cyclability limit commercial applicat...
