Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical energy storage, and in particular to a lithium composite negative electrode for a lithium ion battery, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The lithium negative electrode commonly used at present is mainly a lithium-copper composite tape with copper foil as the supporting material. The thinnest copper foil available is 4um thick. It is too thin and is easy to break and wrinkle during use, making it difficult to apply in batches. In addition, the density of metallic copper is 8.96g / cm 3 Currently, the thinnest 4um thick copper foil is equivalent to 67um thick lithium metal, and copper foil accounts for a large proportion of the weight of the entire battery cell. Some people also consider using pure metal lithium strips (without support) directly as negative electrodes. The thickness of metal lithium is about 70um, and the tensile strength is less than 1MPa. Currently, they are all hand-cut and hand-made battery cells. Metal lithium strips are easily torn and deformed during industrial production and cannot be used as batteries. Currently, the positive electrode in the battery uses lithium iron phosphate or ternary nickel-cobalt-manganese materials. The positive electrode itself already contains lithium ions, so the amount of metal lithium used in the negative electrode is very small. The thinner the lithium is, the weaker the strength is. Support materials are required to scale up industrial production applications. However, most materials are not suitable for use as support materials for metal lithium because of the following problems: some membrane materials do not have sufficient tensile strength and are easily deformed by stress during industrial applications; some membrane materials contain components that react with metal lithium, resulting in the loss of active lithium; some membrane materials have poor conductivity, and the battery cycle performance is poor when the battery is charged and discharged at a high rate.

[0003] In view of this, there is a need to develop a lightweight and high-strength conductive film material suitable for supporting metallic lithium strips. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the above problems, the present invention prepares a lightweight, high-strength conductive film material suitable for supporting thin lithium strips, and the lightweight, high-strength conductive film material is a treated carbon nanotube film. The inventors of this application found that the carbon nanotube film prepared by the vapor phase method is very light and thin, and has a certain strength and conductivity. It is one of the candidate materials for the support material of metallic lithium. However, in the process of using the carbon nanotube film as the negative electrode support material of metallic lithium, there is a problem that the metallic lithium will react and turn black, resulting in the loss of active lithium. The composition of the blackened area was tested and it was found that it contained nitrogen. However, in the process of manufacturing the carbon nanofilm, no N component was introduced. It is speculated that the catalyst metal component present in the carbon nanotube film (the residue of the catalyst in the vapor phase method) catalyzes the reaction between metallic lithium and air. Further research found that this metal component not only exists inside the amorphous carbon particles that do not form carbon nanotubes during the vapor phase reaction, but also exists in part at the ends of the carbon nanotubes. Faced with the challenge of removing the catalyst while minimizing damage to the carbon nanotube film's original state, the inventors devised a treatment process to completely remove the metal component without substantially compromising the film's mechanical properties (such as tensile strength) or electrical properties. This resulted in a carbon nanotube film with moderate tensile strength and electrical conductivity that does not discolor the lithium metal when combined with it. This led to the completion of the present invention.

[0005] Specifically, one aspect of the present invention relates to a lithium composite negative electrode, comprising: a current collector film and an active material layer attached to at least one surface of the current collector film, wherein the active material in the active material layer is metallic lithium or a lithium alloy, and the current collector film is a carbon nanotube film that meets the following conditions:

[0010] In the present invention, the catalyst metal in the carbon nanotube film is the catalyst residue when the carbon nanotube film is prepared by the vapor phase method.

[0083] Example 1

[0084] The carbon nanotube film material 1 prepared in Comparative Example 1 was treated by first performing air firing in a muffle furnace for three hours at a temperature of 400° C. to obtain a preliminarily treated carbon nanotube film material.

[0085] The carbon nanotube film material after the preliminary treatment was soaked in 0.02 mol / L nitric acid for four hours, and then washed three times with deionized water to obtain the carbon nanotube film material after further treatment.

[0086] The carbon nanotube film was further treated with high temperature negative pressure treatment at a temperature of 2000°C and a pressure of 10 - 3 Pa, the treatment time is 30min, and a clean carbon nanotube film is obtained. The transmission electron microscope image is as follows Figure 2 As shown, no iron particles were observed.

[0087] The cleaned carbon nanotube film and lithium film (lithium thickness is 10um) are pressure-compounded, and the upper and lower rolls of lithium film and the cleaned film in the middle are unwound to obtain a double-sided lithium-coated product. The product is placed in a drying workshop with a dew point of -45℃ for two days or even a month, and it is found that there is no black area of ​​the metallic lithium, as shown in the actual product. Figure 3 As shown, it shows that the carbon nanotube film has completely removed iron.

[0088] Table 1: Content values ​​excluding iron

[0089]

[0090] The iron content in the carbon nanotube film prepared by the vapor phase method is about 8 wt%. As can be seen from the values ​​in Table 1, when only acid treatment is used on the original carbon nanotube film, such as in Comparative Examples 2 and 3, very little iron is removed. Therefore, when compounded with metallic lithium, the metallic lithium will react and turn black.

[0091] The carbon nanotube film is first calcined and then acid treated. A lot of iron is removed, such as in Comparative Example 6, but not all of it is removed. Further vacuum heat treatment is required. Figure 2 It can be seen from the transmission electron microscope image that the iron impurities have been completely removed after the above treatment.

[0092] The present invention first adopts empty burning, and the carbon that does not form carbon tube is burned off, and the catalyst of iron is leaked out, and then dilute acid treatment is carried out, and most of iron can be slowly removed, and the intrinsic structure of carbon nanotube film is not destroyed as far as possible. Because some iron catalysts are present in the tube end inside of carbon nanotube, there will be a small amount of iron catalyst that can not be thoroughly removed, and it is necessary to further remove deeply in a short time by vacuum heat treatment. Because only adopting one-step vacuum heat treatment such as comparative example 5, catalyst iron is still not completely removed, and the temperature and time of another vacuum heat treatment are longer, and the carbon nanotube film after treatment can become more brittle, and tensile strength decreases (film material cannot be used as the supporting material of metallic lithium), so vacuum heat treatment is carried out in the last step as far as possible, and is equivalent to most of catalyst iron and has been removed, and a small amount of iron catalyst can be removed in a very short time, and the intensity and the apparent morphology of carbon nanotube film itself are destroyed minimum, and the carbon nanotube film with the iron catalyst removed can be obtained.

[0093] It should be understood that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
