Problems solved by technology

In recent years, metal lithium is loaded inside the three-dimensional porous material matrix by electrochemical deposition or heating and melting, and local micronanoization of metal lithium is carried out to prepare composite metal lithium electrodes. The study uses stable metal lithium powder as the electrode, but because of the inert layer on the surface, it will cause problems such as high internal impedance of the electrode and increase in the polarization voltage of the battery, so it can only be used by rolling activation.
[0003] In the research of metal lithium electrodes in the prior art, it is difficult to accurately control the loading capacity of metal lithium, and the metal lithium is combined with a three-dimensional porous matrix. Although the composite electrode can effectively suppress the problems existing in the metal lithium electrode, it is often the metal Lithium loading is excessive and poorly controllable
In addition, in the existing composite metal lithium electrode materials, the local size of metal lithium is still on the scale of hundreds of microns or even centimeters, which cannot reduce the size of dispersed / composited metal lithium to the micron level. There is not much difference between the lieutenant and the bulk lithium metal, and it also weakens the role of the matrix framework in guiding the deposition
Although some people directly use micron-sized metal lithium powder to prepare metal lithium electrodes by cold pressing, but due to the inert layer on the surface of metal lithium powder, the negative electrode material has a large impedance and high voltage polarization after being assembled into a battery. The cycle stability is not greatly improved, and the practicability is poor

The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing graphene powder, a binder solution and metal lithium powder to obtain graphene-metal lithium powder mixed slurry; coating the graphene-metal lithium powder mixed slurry to obtain a pole piece; and heating and activating the pole piece to obtain the graphene / metal lithium composite electrode. In the preparation method provided by the invention, the micron-sized metal lithium powder is adopted as a lithium source for being compounded with the micron-sized graphene material, and the metal lithium powder is heated, melted and activated, so that metal lithium fully spreads among sheets of graphene, the compounding size of the metal lithium andthe graphene is reduced, and the compounding area is enlarged. In the preparation method provided by the invention, the loading amount of the metal lithium in the composite electrode can be accurately controlled, and the dispersion size of the metal lithium can be reduced. By utilizing the graphene as a three-dimensional conductive framework, the current density can be dispersed to provide activesites for the deposition of the metal lithium, and inhibit the growth of surface dendrites to obtain a highly reversible lithium metal electrode. The composite metal lithium anode is prepared by adopting a 'cathode coating' way, so that the method is simple.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a graphene / metal lithium composite electrode and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The wide application of lithium-ion batteries in mobile devices and electric vehicles has put forward higher requirements for the energy density and power density of lithium-ion batteries. The development and research of positive electrode materials are becoming more and more perfect. To improve the overall performance of lithium-ion batteries, research on high-performance negative electrode materials has great prospects. Metal lithium, with its advantages of high specific capacity, light weight and low potential, is often considered as the ultimate lithium-ion battery anode material. However, due to its high activity, lithium metal will form dendrites and "dead lithium" during charging and discharging, which hinders its further development. At present, mos...
