Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although lithium-air batteries have excellent application prospects, however, their development is still constrained by many conveniences, such as low energy efficiency, short cycle life, and poor safety.
Among them, the active lithium metal negative electrode is very prone to lithium dendrites during the electrochemical cycle of the battery. In addition, the lithium metal negative electrode has to endure continuous erosion from electrolyte, dissolved oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, etc. Ultimately leading to premature end of battery life

Abstract

The invention discloses a lithium air battery based on a lithium alloy negative electrode. The lithium air battery using lithium alloy as a negative electrode is placed in an anhydrous gas atmospherefor at least one cycle of high current pretreatment, wherein the current density of the high current pretreatment is not less than 0.8 mAh.cm<-2>. An oxide film composite SEI protective film containing heterogeneous metal is formed on the surface of the battery through high current pretreatment before normal cycle test, so that the erosion of the electrolyte, water, dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lithium air battery on the negative electrode can be blocked, the lithium ions can be guided to be uniformly deposited on the surface of the negative electrode, the occurrence of lithium dendrites can be inhibited, and the cycle stability and safety of the battery are greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lithium-air battery based on a lithium alloy negative electrode, belonging to the technical field of lithium batteries. Background technique [0002] The statements herein merely provide background information related to the present invention and may not necessarily constitute prior art. [0003] In modern society, human beings are facing severe fossil energy crisis and environmental pollution, which hinders the development of fuel vehicles. In recent years, pure electric vehicles or hybrid electric vehicles have attracted more and more social attention, and the effective use of battery systems has greatly reduced human dependence on fossil fuels. However, the actual energy density of the most widely used lithium-ion batteries on the market is too low to meet human needs for long-distance transportation. Lithium-air batteries use metal lithium as the negative electrode and oxygen as the reaction electrode, which greatly imp...
