Abstract

The invention discloses a three-dimensional current collector for inhibiting lithium metal negative electrode dendrites and application of the three-dimensional current collector in a metal lithium battery, and belongs to the technical field of batteries. The three-dimensional current collector is a copper foil loaded Cu@Sn nanocone array structure current collector. The framework of the three-dimensional nanocone array structure current collector can effectively relieve volume expansion of lithium metal in a circulation process, and the high specific surface area of the three-dimensional nanocone array structure current collector can reduce the average current density, disperse an electric field and promote uniform deposition of lithium; and the lithium-philic Sn nanoparticles and lithiumform Li-Sn alloy in situ in the circulation process, uniform lithium nucleation sites are formed, polarization of lithium deposition is reduced, and uniform deposition / dissolution of lithium is induced. From the perspectives of nucleation and deposition, the growth of lithium dendrites can be effectively inhibited through the synergistic effect of nucleation and deposition, and the Coulombic efficiency and the cycling stability of the battery are improved. The current collector has the characteristics of light weight, small volume and lithium affinity, and has small influence on the energy density of the battery, and the liquid and solid metal lithium batteries based on the current collector show good cycling stability.
