Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of lithium batteries, and particularly relates to a method for large-scale preparation of an ultrathin lithium negative electrode. BACKGROUND

[0002] Conventional lithium metal negative electrode preparation methods include coating or calendering, wherein coating is to coat pure lithium on the surface of a substrate after melting to form a lithium metal negative electrode film; and calendering is to gradually thin the thickness of lithium metal by adjusting the gap between the rollers from large to small. The thin film prepared by these methods is difficult to achieve an ultrathin thickness of several microns, and is prone to cracking and oxidation problems. Accordingly, a method of pouring graphene material into molten lithium and forming a film is adopted by Professor Cui Yi, which can obtain an ultrathin lithium metal negative electrode, but still has several technical problems.

[0003] Specifically, the coating method is prone to cause lithium metal volatilization loss and substrate thermal degradation during high-temperature melting, increasing production cost, and the molten lithium needs anhydrous and oxygen-free environment and additional energy to maintain the molten state of lithium; the calendering method can achieve thickness thinning, but uneven roller pressure can cause stress concentration on the surface of the thin film, causing micro-cracks and thickness fluctuations, and reducing the yield. Neither the coating method nor the calendering method can achieve large-scale preparation. The graphene reinforcement method can improve the mechanical strength and thickness accuracy of the thin film, but the method faces challenges such as complex process control, low efficiency and high material cost in large-scale production, which limits its commercial application. Moreover, the preparation of porous graphene or other porous two-dimensional materials requires additives such as pore-forming agents, which is low in efficiency and high in cost, and cannot be produced continuously.

[0004] Alternative solutions such as electrodeposition or vacuum evaporation have also been tried in the prior art, but these methods also have problems such as high equipment requirements, high energy consumption, and poor adhesion of the thin film, which cannot meet the demand for large-scale preparation. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an innovative method for efficiently and stably producing ultrathin lithium metal negative electrodes at low cost.

[0005] Therefore, the application aims to provide a method for large-scale preparation of an ultrathin lithium negative electrode, which can obtain a uniformly dispersed two-dimensional material lithium powder composite film by using a two-dimensional material dispersion liquid and a lithium powder dispersion liquid for double-axis (double-nozzle) rotary spraying, and spray a single lithium dendrite prevention layer on the last layer to prevent the lithium powder from contacting the external atmosphere, facilitating subsequent operation.

[0060] Example 6

[0061] The comparative example provides a method for large-scale preparation of an ultra-thin lithium negative electrode, which includes graphene, lithium powder, tin oxide nano-powder, lithium dendrite prevention particles and the like raw materials, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0062] In the first step, graphene and polyethylene oxide are added to DMC in a mass ratio of 10:1, and graphene is added to DMC in a mass ratio of 1:50000, and ultrasonic stirring is performed for 1h (ultrasonic rod, ultrasonic frequency 40KHz, power 600W, same below).

[0064] In the third step, the dried film material is rolled at a pressure of 1MPa.

[0065] The film thickness prepared in this example is about 4.8 microns, the specific capacity of the negative electrode material is 1386mAh / g, the initial efficiency is 78.3%, and the cycle life of the positive electrode LFP at 0.5C is 494 cycles.
