Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of functional materials, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a NiZnInCuCd nanometer ultra-thin high-entropy alloy layer. Background Art

[0002] Lithium metal anodes, owing to their high energy density and low electrochemical potential, have become the mainstay of the new energy electrification era. However, due to the high reactivity of lithium metal, lithium metal anodes face challenges such as uncontrolled dendrite growth and degraded Coulombic efficiency. To address these issues, researchers have proposed numerous modification strategies. Among these, the use of three-dimensional carbon frameworks as lithium supports is considered an effective approach to achieving dendrite-free lithium metal batteries. However, the low lithium affinity of carbon-based surfaces presents a significant barrier to initial lithium nucleation, making it difficult to optimize the electrochemical performance of lithium metal batteries. In recent years, efforts have focused on modulating the surface lithium affinity of carbon materials by doping them with precious metal nanoparticles, heteroatom functional groups, and other traditional alloy materials. While these strategies can suppress dendritic lithium growth, few studies have explored synergistic structural design and interface engineering. Therefore, constructing three-dimensional carbon-based structures encapsulated by ultrathin high-entropy alloy layers loaded with lithium-philic nanoparticles to guide uniform lithium nucleation is becoming increasingly important for the development of lithium metal anodes.

[0003] High entropy alloys can achieve the advantages of high activity, high selectivity, stability and low cost through multi-component design and element regulation. Therefore, they are widely used in the fields of catalysis and energy and have broad application prospects. The complex lattice structure will produce obvious lattice distortion, resulting in the generation of a large number of dislocations and defects. At the same time, it can provide new and adjustable active sites in multiple adjacent elements, and the interaction can be regulated by rationally selecting the configuration and composition of the elements. These characteristics lead to some unique properties, such as multiple lithium ions (Li + ) transport pathways, reactive sites, and high ionic conductivity. Compared with conventional alloys, this potential lithiophilic property can be modulated by the synergistic action of multiple elements in high entropy alloys to increase adsorption and diffusion energy. Therefore, it is necessary to further study the lithiophilicity of high entropy alloys (HEAs) in lithium metal anodes and understand the role of HEAs in Li + The role played in the dynamic transmission process.

[0029] In step S2, the activation treatment time of the carbon paper in the plasma surface treatment machine is 5 to 30 minutes. The amount of carbon paper added each time in step S2 is 5 to 100 μL / cm 2 .

[0030] In actual use, step S2, the carbon paper is placed in a plasma treatment machine and processed for 15 minutes and then cut into 0.785 cm 2 In addition, the high entropy precursor solution was evenly absorbed and dropped at 20 μL / cm 2 The precursor was prepared by placing the precursor on carbon paper and then drying it in a vacuum oven at 60°C for 24 hours to obtain a NiZnInCuCd / C precursor.
