Abstract

The invention discloses a lithium metal battery negative electrode surface modification method which is characterized by comprising the following steps: 1) weighing lithium bromide and lithium nitratein proportion, dissolving lithium bromide and lithium nitrate in a tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvent, sealing the mouth with a preservative film, performing sealing at normal temperature, and uniformly performing stirring to prepare a clear and transparent polishing electrolyte; 2) assembling the lithium symmetric battery, adding the polishing electrolyte obtained in the step 1) into the lithium symmetric battery in the assembling process, and wetting a diaphragm; and 3) discharging the lithium symmetric battery assembled in the step 2) under set current density and discharge time,and polishing the surface of a negative electrode to obtain the modified lithium metal battery. The method has the advantages that the polished lithium surface is smooth and flat, the growth of lithium dendrites in the charging and discharging process of the lithium metal battery can be effectively inhibited, and the cycle performance of the lithium metal battery is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lithium metal batteries, in particular to a method for modifying the surface of the negative electrode of the lithium metal battery. Background technique [0002] Metal lithium as the negative electrode is currently an ideal negative electrode material that can increase battery capacity because of its high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh g -1 ) and the lowest redox potential, these characteristics allow lithium metal batteries to have higher specific capacity and higher operating voltage (see references Jun Liu et al, Nature Energy, 2019, 4(3)180-186). Due to these excellent characteristics of lithium metal, researchers have turned to lithium metal as the negative electrode material. However, although lithium metal has advantages as the negative electrode, it still faces many difficulties in the actual application process. These problems mainly include the following aspects: First, the lithium metal negati...
