Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium metal batteries, and in particular relates to a method for surface modification of a polyarylether-based current collector and its application in lithium-deficient batteries. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing demand for energy storage and stricter environmental regulations, the cycle life and energy density of lithium metal batteries have been the focus of current research. Lithium metal, with its extremely high theoretical capacity (3860 mAh / g) and low electrochemical potential (-3.04 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode), is considered an ideal anode candidate. The lithium anode used in practical lithium metal batteries consists of lithium foil and a certain amount of lithium pre-deposited on the current collector. On the one hand, lithium is highly chemically reactive; the higher the lithium content, the greater the potential safety hazards during battery operation. On the other hand, current lithium metal production processes make it difficult to reduce the thickness of lithium foil below 50 μm. This means that a large amount of unused lithium metal remains in the lithium anode, which not only increases the overall weight and volume of the battery, but also makes the excess lithium more likely to react with the electrolyte, accelerating electrolyte consumption and ultimately affecting the battery's cycle life. Therefore, in order to conserve lithium resources and increase energy density, it is crucial to reduce the amount of lithium metal used in practical applications. Lithium-deficient batteries came into being. Without a separate lithium negative electrode, all active lithium is initially stored in the positive electrode material. During the initial charging process, the active lithium is extracted from the positive electrode to the negative electrode and directly electroplated on the current collector in situ.

[0003] Since the commercialization of Sony batteries in 1991, copper has been used as a current collector on the anode side of batteries due to its excellent conductivity, ductility, and stability at low potentials. However, commercially available copper current collectors have micro-cracks and pits at the micro-nano scale, which can be called "defect points." In lithium-poor batteries, these "defect points" have lower charge transfer resistance than other surface locations and can therefore act as "hot spots" for rapid nucleation and growth of lithium, resulting in uneven lithium deposition, causing uneven local current density distribution, increasing the internal resistance of the battery, and ultimately leading to irreversible lithium deposition and shortened cycle life, thereby limiting further improvement in the performance of lithium-poor batteries.

[0004] In order to overcome the above problems, researchers have begun to explore the modification of copper current collectors through surface modification methods, and develop new surface modification technologies to improve the conductivity, chemical stability and mechanical stability of the current collector, and optimize the lithium nucleation and growth, local current density and lithium ion flux distribution on the current collector surface. For example, in his recent work (Refined Pore Structure Design and Surface Modification of 3D PorousCopper Achieving Highly Stable Dendrite-Free Lithium-Metal Anode), Professor Yao Yagang of Nanjing University loaded Cu2Se / Cu2O heterostructure nanowires on the surface of the copper current collector through anodic oxidation and chemical vapor deposition as nucleation sites for enhanced lithium kinetics. Although this method can achieve excellent interface conductivity and stability, methods such as vacuum evaporation, plasma surface treatment technology, chemical etching, electrochemical etching, sputtering, etc. are difficult to apply in actual production. Furthermore, Zhang et al. (A Natural Biopolymer Film as a Robust Protective Layer to Effectively Stabilize Lithium-Metal Anodes) reported that a natural biopolymer extracted from seaweed can be coated on a copper surface, exhibiting high ionic conductivity and elasticity. This polymer film allows lithium ions to migrate through the agarose membrane and deposit beneath it. However, during battery cycling, the modified layer may gradually fall off or break due to mechanical stress, volume changes, or electrochemical reactions, leading to failure and affecting the overall stability of the electrode. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the problems of uneven lithium deposition, low lithium recycling utilization rate and volume expansion during the cycle caused by poor interface stability of the above-mentioned existing lithium-deficient batteries, the present invention provides a polyarylether-based current collector surface modification method and its application in lithium-deficient batteries.

While improving the uniformity of lithium deposition, it effectively alleviates the volume expansion caused by lithium deposition, thereby improving the cycle stability, energy efficiency and service life of lithium metal batteries, and is particularly suitable for lithium-deficient batteries.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical methods adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0019] Furthermore, the preparation process of the polyarylene ether polymer is as follows:

[0020] A diphenol compound, a bisphenol compound, an aromatic compound and a strong alkaline catalyst are added to a polar organic solvent, and under nitrogen protection, the obtained mixed solution is heated to 110-120° C. and kept stirred for dehydration for 2-4 hours; then kept at 140-160° C. for 3-5 hours to fully form small molecular oligomers; finally, kept at 170-190° C. for 3-6 hours to obtain a polyarylether polymer; wherein the molar ratio of the diphenol compound, the bisphenol compound, the aromatic compound and the strong alkaline catalyst is (0.1-0.9):(0.1-0.9):(1.1-1.5):(1.5-2), and the solid / liquid mass ratio of the polycondensation reaction at 140-160° C. and 170-190° C. is 1 / 5-2 / 3, regardless of the amount of the alkaline catalyst.

[0029] 4. The composite current collector obtained by the present invention is suitable for various types of lithium metal batteries, especially lithium-deficient batteries. By optimizing the physical and chemical properties of the current collector surface, the cycle stability, energy efficiency and service life of the lithium metal battery are improved, providing strong technical support for the commercial application of lithium metal batteries.

[0038] To further understand the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the following examples. However, it should be understood that these examples are intended only to further illustrate the features and advantages of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims. All raw materials used in the present invention are not particularly limited in their sources and may be purchased commercially or prepared according to conventional methods known to those skilled in the art.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] This embodiment provides a method for modifying the surface of a polyarylene ether-based current collector, in which the surface of the current collector is modified using a polyarylene ether-based polymer.

[0041] The polyarylether polymer used in this embodiment is SPEN, and its synthesis process is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, specifically:

[0042] In a 500-mL three-necked flask, 11.41 g of bisphenol A (0.05 mol), 10.61 g of potassium 2,5-dihydroxybenzenesulfonate (0.05 mol), 23.35 g of 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (0.11 mol), and 22.11 g of potassium carbonate (0.16 mol) were added. Then, 60 mL of N-methylpyrrolidone and 20 mL of toluene were added as polar organic solvents. Under nitrogen protection, the resulting mixture was heated to 120°C and stirred for dehydration for 3 h. The temperature was then maintained at 150°C for 4 h to fully form small-molecule oligomers. Finally, the temperature was maintained at 180°C for 4 h to obtain SPEN.

[0043] The synthesis process of SPEN mainly utilizes nucleophilic substitution condensation reaction. Its main chain has a large number of arylene groups and nitrile groups (-CN) that provide polymer rigidity, as well as lithium-philic groups - oxyether groups. The side chains are also rich in lithium-philic groups - sulfonic acid groups. Among them, one oxyether group can coordinate and bond with one lithium ion, and one sulfonic acid group can coordinate and bond with three lithium ions. The abundant nitrile groups in the main chain will also cause dipole-dipole interactions between molecular chains, and the formed cross-linked network will further enhance the physicochemical stability of SPEN.

[0044] Using the synthesized SPEN, this embodiment provides a method for surface modification of a polyarylether-based current collector, comprising the following steps:

[0045] Step 1: Add 1 g of synthesized SPEN, 0.01 g of polyethylene oxide, and 0.2 g of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide to 6 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide, and stir and dissolve at 60° C. for 12 h to obtain a precursor solution; wherein the mass fraction of SPEN is 13.6%, the mass fraction of polyethylene oxide is 0.1%, and the concentration of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide is 0.11 mol / L;

[0046] Step 2: The precursor solution is spun onto the surface of the copper current collector through electrospinning technology to obtain a NF-Cu modified film with uniform fiber size, and then an NF-Cu composite current collector is obtained; wherein, the spinning is carried out in a dry room with a dew point of 55°C, and the specific process parameters are: the ambient temperature is 35°C, a 25-gauge flat-mouth needle is used, and the precursor solution is pushed through a 5mL syringe at a speed of 0.05mL / min. The copper current collector is fixed on a metal drum, and the receiving speed is controlled to 200rpm. The receiver is 10cm away from the needle tip, and a positive high voltage of 18kV is applied to form a stable Taylor cone. At the same time, a negative high voltage of -2kV is applied for receiving, and the spinning is continued for 4h.

[0047] The SEM image of the NF-Cu modified membrane obtained in this example is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, it can be seen that the fiber structure obtained by spinning is continuous and uniform, without beads and nodules; Figure 3 From the fiber particle size statistics shown, it can be seen that the distribution of fiber particle size is concentrated in the range of 50 to 300 nm, with an average diameter of 170.6 nm, reflecting the high uniformity of the fiber.

[0048] A pure copper current collector (denoted as Bared-Cu current collector) was used as a comparison to explore the advanced properties of the NF-Cu composite current collector obtained in this example.

[0049] First, the electrolyte of the lithium metal battery was prepared by dissolving 1 wt% lithium nitrate (LiNO3) and 1 M lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) in a mixed solvent of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME) and 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) with a volume ratio of 50:50.

[0050] The electrolyte contact angles on the surfaces of the NF-Cu composite current collector and the Bared-Cu current collector were measured respectively. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the electrolyte contact angle of the unmodified Bared-Cu current collector surface is 46°. After modification with the NF-Cu modified film, the electrolyte contact angle of the NF-Cu composite current collector surface is reduced to 12°, indicating that the introduction of the NF-Cu modified film can reduce the surface energy of the copper current collector, and lithium ions are more easily dispersed on the surface of the copper current collector, which is beneficial to improve the deposition kinetics of lithium ions and promote the uniform deposition of lithium ions on the surface of the copper current collector.

[0051] Secondly, the lithium deposition / stripping efficiency and stability of the NF-Cu composite current collector and the Bared-Cu current collector were evaluated by assembling a Li||Cu half-cell. Specifically, the NF-Cu composite current collector and the Bared-Cu current collector were cut into 16mm electrode discs, and the negative electrode shell, NF-Cu composite current collector (Bared-Cu current collector), 20μL electrolyte, PP separator, 20μL electrolyte, lithium sheet, gasket, spring and positive electrode shell were installed in order from bottom to top.

[0052] When testing the lithium deposition / stripping efficiency on the surface of the NF-Cu composite current collector and the Bared-Cu current collector, the cycle parameters of the Li||Cu half-cell are set as follows: first, at 1 mA / cm 2 1 mAh / cm was deposited under the conditions of 2 , and then at 1mA / cm 2 Stripped to 1V. Test results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the Li||Cu half-cell based on the Bared-Cu current collector began to fluctuate after the 68th cycle, while the Li||Cu half-cell based on the NF-Cu composite current collector showed good cycling stability for the first 170 cycles, with a Coulombic efficiency greater than 99%. This is mainly due to the dendrite growth of the Bared-Cu current collector during the deposition process, which leads to irreversible lithium utilization. After modification with the NF-Cu modified film, it can induce uniform lithium deposition and improve the lithium ion recycling efficiency.

[0053] When conducting the cycle stability test of the Li||Cu half-cell based on the NF-Cu composite current collector and the Bared-Cu current collector, the cycle parameters of the Li||Cu half-cell were set as follows: 10 mAh / cm 2 , and obtain Li||Li-Cu half-cell, and then at 8mA / cm 2 -1mAh / cm 2 Charge and discharge cycle. Test results are as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, thanks to the presence of the NF-Cu modified film, the distribution of lithium ions on the surface of the NF-Cu composite current collector is more uniform, allowing lithium to be deposited in a more planar manner. Therefore, the Li||Li-Cu half-cell based on the NF-Cu composite current collector still maintains a small overpotential of 100mV after 700h of cycling. However, the Li||Li-Cu half-cell based on the Bared-Cu current collector exhibits severe polarization after 300h. The main reasons are the slow migration of lithium ions to the negative electrode, the uneven distribution of lithium ion concentration, and the high overpotential caused by severe concentration polarization, which ultimately leads to battery failure.

[0054] Finally, in order to evaluate the potential of NF-Cu composite current collector in practical applications, the cycling stability of Li||S full battery was evaluated. By constant current charging, 5 mAh / cm 2 of lithium metal, at 1 mg / cm 2 The sulfur load is used as the positive electrode sheet to construct a Li||S full battery with a low N / P (~3) ratio, where the N / P ratio refers to the capacity ratio of the negative electrode (N) to the positive electrode (P) material in the battery. Generally, N / P < 5 can be called a lithium-poor battery. The cycling stability results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 7 As shown, the initial specific capacity of the Li||S full battery based on the NF-Cu composite current collector at 0.1C is 1097mAh / g, and the capacity at the 386th cycle under 0.5C cycle is still 956mAh / g, with a capacity retention rate of more than 87%, which is much higher than the capacity retention rate of 27.8% of the Li||S full battery based on the NF-Cu composite current collector under the same test conditions, indicating that the NF-Cu composite current collector helps to improve the cycle stability and service life of lithium metal batteries.
