Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and particularly relates to a solid composite alkali metal negative electrode, a preparation method thereof, and a secondary battery. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous growth of energy demand, batteries play a crucial role in the global economic and technological progress. Since the commercialization of lithium-ion batteries in the 1990s, due to their characteristics such as high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge rate, they have been widely used in fields such as portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems. Under the current development trend dominated by clean energy and low-carbon economy, our demand for high-energy-density and low-cost batteries has further surged. However, the theoretical specific capacity of the most widely used graphite negative electrode in common lithium-ion batteries is only 372 mAh·g -1 , which limits its further application. In order to achieve secondary batteries with higher energy density, alkali metal negative electrodes such as metallic lithium / sodium are considered to be excellent choices for the next generation of high-energy-density secondary batteries because of their high theoretical specific capacity and low redox potential. However, choosing alkali metals as negative electrodes also faces some challenges: (1) Different from the intercalation mechanism of lithium-ion batteries, the uneven deposition / stripping of metallic lithium / sodium electrodes during cycling will lead to an obvious dendrite growth trend. When the dendrites grow to a certain extent, they will pierce the separator, causing the battery to short-circuit and rapidly generate a large amount of heat, further increasing the risk of fire or explosion. (2) Metallic lithium / metallic sodium has extremely high reactivity and will spontaneously react with one or several of the electrolyte components, including salts, solvents, and additives, to form a non-uniform SEI (solid electrolyte interface layer) on the metal surface. The volume change during the deposition / stripping process of the metal will cause the rupture of the SEI, which will further lead to the re-contact and reaction of the active lithium / sodium with the electrolyte, resulting in their rapid consumption.

[0003] Due to the existence of the above problems, conventional metallic lithium / sodium directly used as the negative electrode cannot provide long-term stable cycling for lithium / sodium metal batteries. Therefore, researchers have proposed various solutions. For example, Patent CN108321432A discloses a quasi-solid electrolyte prepared by using a lightweight carbonitride polymer as an electrolyte filler, which can effectively inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites in lithium metal batteries. The hierarchical structure of the lightweight carbonitride polymer is beneficial to the absorption of the electrolyte, thus forming a muddy quasi-solid electrolyte for inhibiting the growth of lithium negative electrode dendrites in lithium metal batteries. Patent CN113745759A discloses a coated separator, a preparation method and a method for inhibiting lithium dendrites. During the cycling process, the piezoelectric polymer coating of the coated separator contacts the negative electrode. When a trace amount of lithium dendrites are formed, it will squeeze the piezoelectric polymer coating of the coated separator, forming a piezoelectric potential, thereby inhibiting the continuous deposition of lithium elements at this point and achieving the purpose of inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites. However, these methods do not fundamentally solve the problem of the appearance of dendrites in lithium / sodium metal batteries with lithium / sodium metal as the negative electrode.

[0004] In addition, Patent CN116230871A discloses a three-dimensional metal lithium composite anode with an in-situ protective layer, its preparation method, and a metal lithium battery. This patent uses a reaction medium fluid composed of non-metallic elements to undergo an interfacial reaction with metallic lithium under high-temperature conditions, forming a lithium-non-metallic element compound protective layer (such as lithium nitride) on the surface of the lithium metal. This protective layer is an inorganic compound and may have the risk of cracking during long-term cycling, affecting its protective effect and the cycle stability of the battery. CN109786669A discloses a lithium-sulfur battery and its preparation method. The lithium-sulfur battery includes: a 3D lithium metal anode, a sulfide cathode, and an electrolyte membrane. The electrolyte membrane is disposed between the 3D lithium metal anode and the sulfide cathode. The core of the lithiophilic modification of the three-dimensional conductive framework pointed out in this patent lies in the additional formation of a lithiophilic metal layer (such as germanium (Ge), aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), or metal oxides, etc.) between the conductive framework and metallic lithium. This patent not only has cumbersome equipment requirements and high costs but also has poor thermal stability and electrochemical stability of the battery. Patent CN114899351A discloses a composite lithium metal anode, a solid-state battery, and its preparation method. In this patent, the composite lithium metal anode includes a lithium layer, a metal-carbon composite layer, and a polymer inorganic compound protective layer arranged in sequence. This composite method may cause damage to the polymer framework during long-term cycling, with the risk of cracking, affecting its protective effect and the cycle stability of the battery, and affecting the overall performance of the battery. Patent CN111063863A discloses a metal lithium composite anode material, its preparation method, and application. The metal lithium composite anode material is composed of a substrate containing metallic lithium and a polymer electrolyte protective film coated thereon. The method provided by this patent is complex and cumbersome, and the safety and stability of this metal lithium composite anode material are poor.

[0005] Therefore, how to solve the safety problems caused by poor cycle performance, volume expansion, and dendrite growth when using metallic lithium / sodium as the anode is the focus of current research. Summary of the Invention

[0179]

[0180] Analysis:

[0181] As can be seen from Example 1, the solid composite alkali metal electrode provided by the present invention is used in the lithium metal battery system, which improves the first-cycle Coulomb efficiency, cyclic performance and capacity retention rate after 100 cycles of the battery, indicating that constructing a polymer on the electrode surface can effectively inhibit the side reactions at the electrode / electrolyte interface. As can be seen from Example 4, the solid composite alkali metal electrode provided by the present invention is also applicable to the sodium metal battery system. As can be seen from Example 5, for the solid composite lithium metal electrode with physical lithiumation, the first-cycle capacity and first-cycle Coulomb efficiency are improved, but the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles is slightly lower than that of Example 1. As can be seen from Example 6, whether a photoinitiator or a thermal initiator is used, the obtained effects are similar, indicating that the initiation method has little influence on the whole system. As can be seen from Example 7, after reducing the soaking time of prelithiation, the first-cycle capacity, Coulomb efficiency and capacity retention rate after 100 cycles all decrease.

[0182] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 8-9, if the mass ratio of the solid polymer electrolyte is too small, it is not conducive to alleviating the volume expansion of metallic lithium, and the flexibility is poor, resulting in a decrease in the capacity retention rate; if the mass ratio of the solid polymer electrolyte is too large, the electrode is too thick and the ion transport path is extended, which is not conducive to capacity performance.

[0183] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 10 that if step (1) is not carried out, that is, the three-dimensional supported carbon-based skeleton does not have lithiophilicity before metal lithiation, it is not conducive to the subsequent prelithiation process, resulting in incomplete initial capacity and decreased capacity retention rate and Coulomb efficiency.

[0184] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 11-12 that if the concentration of the 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution of lithium biphenyl described in step (2) is too low, sufficient metal lithium cannot be provided to support the cycle; if the concentration of the 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution of lithium biphenyl described in step (2) is too high, the deposition of metal lithium is uneven, and after too much prelithiation, there is a risk of exposure and side reactions with the electrolyte, which is not conducive to capacity retention.

[0185] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 13 that if LLZO is not added in step (3), that is, inorganic materials are not introduced, the mechanical properties and ionic conductivity of the overall negative electrode will decrease, which is not conducive to capacity performance.

[0186] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 that in the traditional lithium metal negative electrode battery system, due to the side reactions at the electrode / electrolyte interface, the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles decreases compared with Example 1.

[0187] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 that if a solid polymer electrolyte is not introduced, the cyclic capacity retention rate after 100 cycles decreases, indicating that the side reactions at the electrode / electrolyte interface are relatively serious.

[0188] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 that if the three-dimensional supported carbon-based skeleton is not metal lithiated, the first-cycle discharge capacity, Coulomb efficiency, and cyclic capacity retention rate after 100 cycles all decrease significantly.

[0189] The applicant declares that the present invention uses the above examples to illustrate the process method of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above process steps, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above process steps to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvement to the present invention, the equivalent substitution of the raw materials selected for the present invention, the addition of auxiliary components, and the selection of specific methods, etc., all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
