Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and particularly relates to a lithium metal negative electrode with an interfacial modification layer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in the fields of automobiles, electronic products, energy storage, etc. due to their high energy density and good cycle performance, and further high requirements are put forward for their performance. However, the negative electrodes of existing lithium-ion battery systems are mainly graphite, and its theoretical capacity is only ~370 mAh / g. The performance exploration has basically approached its theoretical value, and it is difficult to further improve it essentially. Lithium metal has a high theoretical capacity of 3860 mAh / g and the lowest reduction potential. As a new battery negative electrode, lithium metal is considered to be the most promising next-generation technology.

[0003] However, there are mainly three problems with lithium metal negative electrodes during charge and discharge: (1) lithium dendrites are formed, which are prone to causing safety hazards; (2) due to the lowest reduction potential, lithium metal continuously undergoes side reactions with the electrolyte / electrolyte solution, consuming the electrolyte / electrolyte solution and lithium metal, forming a relatively thick solid electrolyte interface (SEI), increasing the battery impedance; (3) the volume and morphology change significantly, causing the rupture of the solid electrolyte interface, further exacerbating the side reaction between lithium metal and the electrolyte / electrolyte solution. In order to address the problems existing in lithium metal negative electrodes, on the one hand, it is necessary to prevent the direct contact between the lithium metal negative electrode and the electrolyte / electrolyte solution to reduce side reactions, and on the other hand, it is necessary to guide the uniform deposition of lithium metal and inhibit lithium dendrites. The main technical solutions include: adjusting the components of the electrolyte, solid electrolytes, lithium metal alloying, artificial solid electrolyte interfaces, three-dimensional skeletons, etc. These technical solutions can improve some problems to a certain extent, but it is difficult to show obvious effects under the conditions of high current density and high capacity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a lithium metal negative electrode with an interfacial modification layer and a preparation method thereof. The interfacial modification layer is composed of a lithiumophilic layer and a lithiumophobic layer, which can inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites, reduce side reactions, improve the Coulomb efficiency, and obtain uniform and dense deposition under the conditions of high current density and high capacity.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The first object of the present invention is a lithium metal negative electrode with an interface modification layer. The surface of the lithium metal negative electrode has an interface modification layer, and the interface modification layer includes at least one lithiumophilic layer and at least one lithium-phobic layer; the lithiumophilic layer is an electron conductor, and the lithium-phobic layer is an ion conductor and an electron insulator. Preferably, the thickness of the lithiumophilic layer is 0.01 to 100 μm, and the thickness of the lithium-phobic layer is 0.01 to 100 μm. The lithium metal negative electrode is pure lithium metal, a lithium metal alloy or a lithium metal host.

[0007] When the number of lithiumophilic layers is 1 layer, preferably, the lithium-phobic layer can be between the lithiumophilic layer and the lithium metal negative electrode, and / or on the outermost side.

[0008] When the number of lithiumophilic layers is greater than 1 layer and the lithiumophilicity is different, preferably, the lithiumophilic layers are arranged in a gradient order from high to low in terms of lithiumophilicity, and the lithiumophilic layer with high lithiumophilicity is close to the lithium metal negative electrode side.

[0009] Preferably, the lithium-phobic layer can be present between the lithiumophilic layer and the lithium metal negative electrode, and / or between the lithiumophilic layers, and / or on the outermost side.

[0010] When the number of lithiumophilic layers is greater than 1 layer and the lithiumophilicity is the same, preferably, the lithium-phobic layer can be present between the lithiumophilic layer and the lithium metal negative electrode, and / or between the lithiumophilic layers, and / or on the outermost side.

[0011] Preferably, the lithiumophilic layer is selected from one or more of Al, Zn, Mg, As, Au, Ag, Ga, Pb, Cd, Bi, In, Ge, Sn, B, Si, P, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Nb, Mo, Ru, oxides, nitrides, sulfides, phosphides, halides, carbon materials; in order to increase the electronic conductivity of the lithiumophilic layer, a conductive agent can be added to the lithiumophilic layer. Further preferably, the conductive agent is selected from one or more of carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphite, carbon fiber, activated carbon, Super-P (conductive carbon black), carbon black.

[0012] Preferably, the lithium-phobic layer is selected from one or more of LiF, Li3N, Li2S, Li2O, LiCl, LiBr, LiI, Li2CO3, Li2SO4, LiNO3, Li2PO3, LiClO4, LiN(CF3SO2)2, LiN(FSO2)2, LiClO4, LiCF3SO3, LiBF4, LiPF4, LiAsF6, LiB(C2O4)2, lithium carboxylate, ceramic-type solid electrolyte, polymer electrolyte, ceramic / polymer composite electrolyte.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned lithium metal negative electrode with an interface modification layer, and the steps are as follows: preparing an interface modification layer on the surface of the lithium metal negative electrode. The preparation methods of the lithiumophilic layer and the lithium-phobic layer in the interface modification layer include one or more of wet coating, screen printing, electrostatic powder planting, spraying, inkjet printing, scraping, casting, spin coating, dipping, dropping, electroplating, physical deposition, chemical deposition, and chemical reaction.

[0014] Preferably, according to the requirements of the preparation method, the materials for preparing the lithiumophilic layer and the materials for preparing the lithium-phobic layer are respectively dispersed in one or more of a solvent, a polymer binder, and a polymer monomer in the form of powder to form a slurry, and then the slurry is successively loaded on the surface of the lithium metal negative electrode; wherein, the polymer monomer can be cured into a polymer; or the powder is directly prepared without dispersion; or it is prepared in a bulk form.

[0015] Preferably, the lithiumophilic layer and the lithium-phobic layer can be directly prepared on the lithium metal, and / or pre-prepared into thin sheets and then bonded to the lithium metal negative electrode as the interface modification layer. Further, the interface modification layer of the lithium metal negative electrode can be densified by a pressing method; the pressing methods include one or more of flat static pressure, isostatic pressure, roll pressing, and stamping.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] The interface modification layer formed on the surface of the lithium metal negative electrode of the present invention includes at least one lithiumophilic layer and at least one lithium-phobic layer; wherein, the lithiumophilic layer is an electron conductor, and the lithium-phobic layer is an ion conductor and an electron insulator. The electron-conducting lithiumophilic layer can reduce the deposition overpotential of lithium metal and guide the uniform and dense deposition of lithium metal; in addition, lithium metal can also be deposited inside the lithiumophilic layer in a chemically bonded or physically bonded manner, providing space for volume expansion. The lithium-phobic layer has a high interfacial energy, which is not conducive to the formation of lithium dendrites, and it is difficult for lithium dendrites to penetrate. Due to the difference in lithium metal affinity between the lithiumophilic layer and the lithium-phobic layer, a space charge layer is generated at the interface between the two, and a lithiumophilic layer / lithium-phobic layer solid electrolyte interface is spontaneously formed during the charge and discharge process, and lithium ions have a lower lateral conduction barrier therein; when lithium dendrites grow to the lithiumophilic layer / lithium-phobic layer solid electrolyte interface, lithium metal will deposit along the direction perpendicular to the lithium dendrites and towards the lithiumophilic layer side, thereby inhibiting lithium dendrites. In addition, the lithiumophilic layer / lithium-phobic layer solid electrolyte interface can also effectively slow down the side reactions between the electrolyte / electrolyte and lithium metal. Considering the above comprehensively, the interface modification layer can inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites, reduce side reactions, improve the Coulomb efficiency, and obtain uniform and dense deposition.
