Embodiment 1

[0017] Select natural silkworm cocoons with a thickness of 0.5mm, cut them into discs with a diameter of 13mm, wash them with ethanol to remove impurities, soak them in 0.01% by mass 1,2,4-triazole aqueous solution for 2 hours, and then cut the natural silkworm cocoons Take it out, dry it in an oven at 100°C for 3 hours, then transfer it to a tube furnace, 2 Calcined at 700°C for 4 hours in the atmosphere, and then cooled down to room temperature naturally to obtain a carbonized silk protein material. The obtained carbonized silk was observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for its morphology ( figure 1 ), the results show that the carbonized filaments still maintain a linear shape and are distributed in layers, and the surface of the material has different voids. The prepared silk protein carbonized material is used as the surface protective layer material of the lithium electrode of the lithium battery, and the current density is 0.5mA cm -2 In this case, the ba...

During the whole fabrication process, the silk protein carbonization material is simple to operate, is low in raw material cost and lowin equipment investment and is suitable for mass production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of material chemistry, and in particular relates to a fibroin carbonized material used as a lithium electrode surface protection material, which can effectively inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites and improve the safety of lithium batteries. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of science and technology, lithium-ion batteries, as a new energy source with green environmental protection, long cycle life, short charging time and light weight, are the first choice for future electric vehicle batteries. The energy density of lithium-ion batteries has reached the limit, which cannot meet the current needs of high energy density and high efficiency. Lithium has a very high theoretical specific capacity (3860mAh g -1 ) and low electrode potential (-3.04V against standard hydrogen electrode), it is one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries in the future. However, i...
