Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium metal batteries, and in particular to a sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer artificial SEI film, a preparation method thereof, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have high energy density and theoretical specific capacity (3860 mA h g -1 However, the side reaction between the lithium metal anode and the liquid electrolyte forms a natural solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. This film suffers from structural inhomogeneity, poor cycling stability, weak adaptability to volume changes, and susceptibility to rupture. Rupture exacerbates electrolyte reactions and triggers localized charge accumulation, leading to the rapid growth of lithium dendrites. Lithium dendrites not only shorten battery life but can also penetrate the separator, posing a short-circuit safety risk.

[0003] To address the above problems, an artificial SEI membrane strategy has been proposed, which can improve battery stability and safety by inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites. The ideal artificial SEI needs to have high ionic conductivity, strong mechanical properties, chemical stability and the ability to isolate side reactions. Inorganic SEI layers (such as ceramics, carbon, and halides) are of interest due to their mechanical properties and ionic conductivity, but their brittleness and poor interfacial stability lead to mechanical stratification, which limits their application in lithium metal batteries. Although the polymer SEI layer is flexible and highly designable and can adapt to interface fluctuations, it still cannot completely suppress lithium dendrites due to insufficient mechanical strength. In addition, anions tend to aggregate at the electrode interface during charging and discharging, causing concentration polarization and dendrite growth, resulting in a decrease in electrochemical performance.

[0004] Therefore, the development of artificial SEI membranes with excellent mechanical properties, ionic conductivity and interface stability is of great significance for promoting the large-scale application of lithium metal batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer artificial SEI membrane and a preparation method and application thereof, which at least solves one problem existing in the prior art.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer artificial SEI film, comprising the following steps:

[0007] mixing sodium lignin sulfonate and a first solvent to obtain a sodium lignin sulfonate solution;

[0008] mixing silica powder with a second solvent to obtain a silica dispersion;

[0009] Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), the silica dispersion, and the sodium lignin sulfonate solution are mixed and reacted under a protective atmosphere to obtain a sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer;

[0010] The sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer and the third solvent are mixed, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is added to obtain a precursor solution after mixing;

[0011] The precursor solution is placed on the surface of lithium metal and dried to obtain a sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer artificial SEI film.

[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer artificial SEI membrane, which is obtained by the above-mentioned method for preparing the sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer artificial SEI membrane.

[0013] In a third aspect, the present invention provides the use of the above-mentioned sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer artificial SEI film in lithium metal batteries.

[0014] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a lithium metal battery comprising the above-mentioned sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymer artificial SEI film.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) Using sodium lignin sulfonate and silica as raw materials and HDI as a cross-linking agent, the isocyanate groups in the HDI structure react with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of sodium lignin sulfonate and silica to form a two-dimensional cross-linked network structure, thereby preparing an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer artificial SEI film with a stable cross-linked structure;

[0017] (2) Compared with the structure of single sodium lignin sulfonate, sodium lignin sulfonate-based polymers can significantly improve the mechanical properties of artificial SEI films, which is beneficial to inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites during lithium deposition. At the same time, the polymer matrix with a cross-linked structure can better adapt to the volume change of the lithium metal anode during charging and discharging, reduce the rupture of the SEI layer caused by volume expansion, and improve the safety of polymer lithium metal batteries. Moreover, a large number of negatively charged -SO3 - The groups (such as sulfonic acid groups) form electrostatic repulsion on the surface of the lithium metal anode tip, which can inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites;

[0018] (3) Utilize -SO3 in sodium lignin sulfonate - The interaction between the groups and lithium ions is equivalent to fixing the anions in the polymer network, thereby effectively increasing the number of ion migration in lithium metal batteries, reducing the concentration polarization inside the battery, and helping to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium metal batteries; in addition, lithium ions, with the help of -SO3 - The interaction of the groups can also - The groups act as jumping anchors for ion conduction and are uniformly distributed in -SO3 -Rapid conduction near the group improves the conduction of lithium ions in the artificial SEI film;

[0019] (4) With the help of -SO3 in sodium lignin sulfonate - The electrostatic interaction between the groups and lithium ions promotes the uniform distribution of lithium ions on the surface of lithium metal, avoids the formation of electric field concentration tips due to uneven deposition of lithium ions, and improves the interfacial stability of the lithium metal negative electrode; this unique structural design can solve the problem of electric field concentration easily generated during the lithium deposition process of the current lithium metal negative electrode and accelerated lithium dendrite growth, and further inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites in the battery.
