Problems solved by technology

Today, although lithium anodes are once again favored by researchers, the problems of low Coulombic efficiency and short cycle life caused by dendrite growth have not yet been resolved. Therefore, in order to realize the practical development of metal lithium anodes, it is necessary to first There is a clear understanding of the problems with lithium anodes
However, a single method cannot solve all the problems of lithium anodes, such as artificial SEI films, which can increase Coulombic efficiency and improve th...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of lithium metal batteries, and particularly discloses a lithium metal anode preparation method, which comprises the following steps of (1) carrying out first-stageelectric treatment: adopting a current collector as a working electrode and metal lithium as a counter electrode, and circulating for 1-100 circles in an electrolyte A at a current density of 0.01-10mA/cm<2>, wherein the electrolyte A comprises a basic electrolyte and an additive A, (2) second-stage electric treatment: continuously taking the current collector treated in the step (1) as a workingelectrode, taking metal lithium as a counter electrode, and carrying out second-stage electric treatment in an electrolyte B at the current density of 0.01-20 mA/cm<2>, so that the treated working electrode is the lithium metal anode, and the electrolyte B comprises a basic electrolyte and an additive B. The metal lithium anode with excellent electrochemical stability, high capacity and high cycling stability can be prepared through the cooperative control of the two stages of electric treatment, the additive in the treatment process, the current density and other conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium metal batteries, in particular to the preparation of metal lithium anodes of lithium metal batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium secondary batteries are mainly lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries. The anode material of lithium-ion battery is mainly carbon material, and its charge and discharge process mainly produces Li + Intercalation and deintercalation in carbon material structures. However, the anode of a metal lithium battery is usually a single substance of metal lithium, and the mechanism of action in the battery is the deposition and dissolution of metal lithium, and its charge and discharge mechanism is: charging: Li + +e=Li; discharge: Li-e=Li + . Lithium metal batteries and lithium-ion batteries have different material requirements and different charging and discharging mechanisms. Although they are similar on the surface, they are actually completely differ...
