Abstract

The invention discloses a chemical pre-lithiation method for a graphite electrode of a lithium ion battery, comprising the following steps: dissolving a lithiation reagent containing anion radicals in a monobasic ether to obtain a lithiation reagent solution with a concentration of 0.001-10mol / L; preparing A good lithium-ion battery graphite negative electrode sheet is contacted with the lithiation reagent solution for 1s-48h, and the pre-lithiated graphite electrode is obtained after washing and drying. The present invention selects free radical anion lithiation reagents with mild properties to chemically pre-lithiate graphite negative electrode materials of lithium ion batteries in a relatively safe chemical environment, thereby improving the first-cycle efficiency of graphite electrodes and further increasing the energy density of the full battery. Moreover, the monovalent ether solvent used is compatible with the graphite negative electrode, and there will be no phenomena such as co-intercalation or peeling that damage its electrochemical performance; the solution system has strong reducibility, and the lithiation process is fast, and will not affect the electrochemical performance of the electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy, and in particular relates to a chemical prelithiation method for graphite electrodes of lithium ion batteries. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in 3C and electric vehicles due to their advantages such as high specific energy, high volumetric energy density, low self-discharge performance, and long service life. In the past 20 years, many important breakthroughs have been made in the research of lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy density, cost, safety, etc., and now the energy density of lithium-ion batteries has reached or approached the limit value of existing electrode materials. In the current commercialized lithium-ion batteries, the first-week coulombic efficiency of positive electrodes such as lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is greater than 95%, which is the source of active lithium ions; while the first-week efficiency...
