Problems solved by technology

However, this method will reduce the energy density of the battery. In addition, due to the sensitivity of metal lithium to water and oxygen, the pre-storage lithium process increases the cost of the manufacturing process and the safety hazards of the storage and transportation process, hindering the practical application of lithium metal batteries.

Abstract

The invention discloses a lithium metal battery with high specific energy. The battery comprises a liquid system battery composed of a negative electrode, a positive electrode, an electrolyte, a diaphragm or an all-solid battery composed of a negative electrode, a positive electrode and a solid electrolyte membrane, wherein the negative electrode is a lithium-free negative electrode composed of ametal substrate and a lithiophilic metal layer covering the metal substrate and capable of inducing the uniform lithium deposition; the positive electrode is a lithium-rich positive electrode expressed as xLi2MnO3.(1-x)LiMO2, 0<x<1, M = Mn, Ni, Co. The lithiophilic metal on the surface of the lithium-free negative electrode can induce uniform lithium deposition, ensures very high deposition-dissolution efficiency of lithium metal deposited on the negative electrode current collector to obtain a high lithium utilization rate. The lithium-rich material is used as a positive electrode active material. After one cycle, the excess lithium of the positive electrode is stored in the negative electrode in the form of lithium metal in order to supplement the active lithium consumed by a side reaction in the subsequent cycles to obtain high coulombic efficiency and high cycle life. The lithium metal battery has low manufacturing cost, good safety, a long service life and high specific energy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical power sources, and relates to a lithium ion battery, in particular to a high specific energy lithium metal battery with initial metal-free lithium and long cycle life. Background technique [0002] Since Japan's Sony Corporation launched the first commercial lithium-ion battery in 1991, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in different fields, especially in portable electronic devices. In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in electric vehicles and grid storage. The application in energy continues to expand, and higher requirements are placed on the energy density of energy storage batteries. However, the current commercialized lithium-ion battery anode materials are mainly carbon materials such as graphite, and the theoretical specific capacity of graphite is only 372 mAh / g, which makes it difficult for lithium-ion secondary batteries with graphite as the anode to be...
