Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the interface layer and its preparation and application, and particularly relates to a composite functional interface layer on the surface of a metal substrate and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Metal secondary batteries (such as lithium metal batteries, sodium metal batteries, zinc metal batteries, etc.) have become the research focus of the next generation of electrochemical energy storage systems due to their high theoretical capacity and high energy density. However, the commercialization process of such batteries is generally limited by the interface instability of the metal anode. The main performance is that during the cycle process, the non-uniform deposition of the metal on the electrode surface will cause dendrite growth, which has the risk of piercing the separator and causing short circuit of the battery; at the same time, the interface side reaction (such as corrosion, hydrogen evolution, etc.) between the metal anode and the electrolyte will cause continuous consumption of active materials and low coulombic efficiency.

[0003] In order to compensate for the irreversible loss of the metal anode during the cycle process, the battery design usually needs to use a metal sheet with a large thickness as the anode, which causes a serious excess of active materials. The excess metal not only cannot contribute to the effective capacity, but also significantly reduces the overall energy density of the battery, which becomes one of the core bottlenecks restricting its industrial application. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a new stable anode architecture that can realize low metal loading and high utilization. In response to this challenge, the research community has attempted to construct an artificial interface layer on the surface of the current collector in order to guide the uniform nucleation and deposition of the metal. Among them, the technical path of calcining polymer, biomass and other coatings has been widely explored. However, the interface layer prepared by such methods is usually micron thick, which can block the corrosion of the electrolyte interface, but also hinders the diffusion of ions, making it difficult to achieve high metal utilization and long cycle life. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, and the purpose of the present application is to provide a composite functional interface layer on the surface of a metal substrate, and the purpose of the present application is to provide a simple and convenient, easy to scale production method for preparing a composite functional interface layer on the surface of a metal substrate, and the purpose of the present application is to provide a composite functional interface layer on the surface of a metal substrate in the field of metal surface functionalization and electrode protection.

[0005] Technical solution: The composite functional interface layer on the surface of a metal substrate according to the present application is a porous structure, which comprises C, F and O elements, and the thickness is 3-100 nm.

[0006] Further, the atomic percentage of F element is 0.3-21.9 at.%, and the atomic percentage of O element is 8.2-45.2 at.%.

[0007] The preparation method of the composite functional interface layer on the surface of the metal substrate comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step one, coating a liquid fluorocarbon polymer on the surface of the metal substrate, drying to form a precursor film;

[0009] Step two, placing the product obtained in step one in a protective atmosphere, heating and holding, and then cooling to room temperature to form an ultrathin porous composite functional interface layer in situ on the surface of the metal substrate.

[0010] Further, in step one, the liquid fluorocarbon polymer includes one or more of anionic fluorocarbon surfactant, cationic fluorocarbon surfactant, non-ionic fluorocarbon surfactant, fluorine-containing polyether, and fluorinated organic small molecule. Preferably, the liquid fluorocarbon polymer is one or any combination of FS3100, FSO-100, and FS-60.

[0011] Further, in step one, the mass concentration of the solution is 1-100%.

[0012] Further, in step one, the metal substrate is a metal material, an alloy material, or a non-metal material with a metalized layer on the surface. Preferably, the metal material is any one of zinc, aluminum, copper, iron, nickel, and stainless steel. More preferably, the metal material is copper, iron, or nickel.

[0013] Further, in step one, the coating is any one of spin coating, blade coating, drop coating, and pulling.

[0014] Further, in step two, the protective atmosphere is one or more of nitrogen, argon, helium, and hydrogen.

[0015] Further, in step two, the heating temperature is 200-600°C, and the holding time is 0-180 min.

[0016] The composite functional interface layer on the surface of the metal substrate is used in the modification of electrode current collectors of electrochemical devices, metal corrosion protection coatings, and interface modification layers.

[0017] Further, the electrochemical device includes zinc ion batteries, zinc metal batteries, lithium ion batteries, lithium metal batteries, and sodium ion batteries. The composite functional interface layer is used to induce uniform metal deposition, inhibit dendrite growth, improve metal deposition / peeling efficiency, and adjust ion permeation.

[0018] Preparation principle: it is a common scheme to prepare coating by pyrolysis of organic polymers, biomacromolecules and the like as raw materials, but due to poor compatibility of polymers with metal substrates, molecular chain entanglement and phase separation are prone to occur, and the thickness of the prepared pyrolysis product coating is difficult to control below micron level and is uneven. The surface energy of liquid fluorocarbon polymer is extremely low, and the flowability is better, so that a precursor film with small thickness can be obtained, and a product film with lower thickness can be obtained; and the elements of fluorine and oxygen in the precursor can generate gas during pyrolysis, forming a porous structure, and finally a fluorine and oxygen doped porous ultrathin functional interface layer is obtained.

[0019] Beneficial effects: compared with the prior art, the present application has the following remarkable features:

[0020] 1. By pyrolyzing liquid fluorocarbon polymers and the like on a metal substrate, a carbon-based interface layer with a thickness of only nanometer level can be constructed in situ on the surface of the substrate, and the interface layer also has a porous property, providing abundant channels for ion transmission. When the ultrathin interface layer is used for metal electrode modification, the ion diffusion path is greatly shortened, the ion migration energy barrier is effectively reduced, the ion transmission rate and deposition / detachment kinetic performance of the electrode are significantly improved, and the metal utilization rate and cycle life are improved;

[0021] 2. The functional interface layer mainly contains fluorine and oxygen co-doped carbon materials and part of fluorides, oxides and the like. The strong electronegative fluorine species can effectively guide the uniform nucleation and deposition of metal ions and inhibit the growth of dendrites. The introduced oxygen element further improves the gold affinity and ion conductivity of the interface, and the synergistic effect of the two realizes efficient regulation of the metal deposition behavior;

[0022] 3. The preparation steps are simple, time-consuming is short, no complex post-treatment is needed, and the liquid fluorocarbon polymer used has low cost and is easy to obtain. This efficient and low-cost process route has great potential for large-scale industrial production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
