Benefits of technology

The present disclosure is a detailed description of technology solutions and their advantages. The examples provided in the disclosure are only meant to explain the technology, and not to limit it. In simple terms, the patent describes how to make objects, devices, and systems using certain techniques and methods. The "technical effects" of this patent include explaining the techniques for making objects more clearly, and providing examples for reference.

Problems solved by technology

At present, the commercial lithium-ion battery mainly uses graphite as the negative active material, but its specific discharge capacity has been close to a theoretical value of graphite (372 mAh / g), therefore it is difficult to further increase the specific discharge capacity of the lithium-ion battery by processing a modification technology on the graphite.
However, there are two main obstacles in the further development of the lithium secondary battery: (1) the lithium dendrite is easily formed during cycle processes of the lithium secondary battery, the lithium secondary battery is easily short-circuited; (2) the lithium dendrite has a large surface area, a high reactivity and easily reacts with electrolyte, therefore the SEI membrane formed on the surface of the lithium metal is ceaselessly destroyed and formed, the electrolyte and the lithium ions are ceaselessly consumed, thereby decreasing cycle efficiency of the lithium secondary battery and shortening the cycle life of the lithium secondary battery.
Therefore, how to effectively improve the surface properties of the lithium metal and inhibit the growth of the lithium dendrite is the key issue in the further development of the lithium secondary battery.
However, there is a problem that the in-situ formed protective membrane has a weak mechanical strength and cannot completely cover the SEI membrane on the surface of the lithium metal, therefore it cannot completely prevent the SEI membrane from being severely and ceaselessly destroyed and formed during the lithium deposition / dissolution processes which is caused by change of the lithium metal topography.
The growth of the lithium dendrite and the problems caused by the lithium dendrite are not solved substantially.

example 1

[0049]Preparation of the positive electrode P1#: lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2, positive active material), conductive carbon black (Super-P, conductive agent) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF, binder) were uniformly dispersed in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP, solvent) to form a positive electrode slurry. A solid content of the positive electrode slurry was 77 wt %, solid components in the positive electrode slurry were 98.26 wt % of lithium cobalt oxide, 0.9 wt % of PVDF and 0.84 wt % of conductive carbon black. Then the positive electrode slurry was uniformly coated on two surfaces of an aluminum foil (positive current collector) with a thickness of 12 μm, a coating weight on each surface of the aluminum foil was 0.0215 g / cm2; then a drying process was performed at 85° C., which was followed by cutting into a disk with a diameter (Φ) of 14 mm, and then the disk was dried under vacuum at 85° C. for 4 h, the obtained positive electrode was marked as P1#.
