Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium battery technology, and in particular relates to a method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes. Background Technology
[0002] Conventional methods for preparing lithium metal anodes include coating and calendering. Coating involves melting pure lithium and applying it to a substrate to form a thin film of lithium metal anode. Calendering gradually reduces the thickness of the lithium metal anode by adjusting the gap between rollers. These methods often fail to produce ultrathin films on the order of a few micrometers and are prone to cracking and oxidation. Correspondingly, methods such as the one used by Professor Cui Yi, which involve infusing graphene material into molten lithium and forming a film, have emerged. This method can obtain ultrathin lithium metal anodes, but several technical challenges remain.
[0003] Specifically, coating methods are prone to lithium metal volatilization and substrate thermal degradation during high-temperature melting, increasing production costs. Furthermore, lithium melting requires an anhydrous and oxygen-free environment and additional energy to maintain the molten state of lithium. While calendering can achieve thickness reduction, uneven roller pressure causes stress concentration on the film surface, leading to microcracks and thickness fluctuations, reducing yield. Neither coating nor calendering methods can achieve large-scale production. Although graphene reinforcement can improve the mechanical strength and thickness accuracy of films, this method faces challenges in large-scale production, including complex process control, low efficiency, and high material costs, limiting its commercial application. Moreover, the preparation of porous graphene or other porous two-dimensional materials requires pore-forming agents and other additives, resulting in high efficiency and cost, and making continuous production impossible.
[0004] Existing technologies have explored alternative methods such as electrodeposition or vacuum evaporation, but these methods also suffer from problems such as high equipment requirements, high energy consumption, and poor film adhesion, failing to meet the needs of large-scale fabrication. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an innovative method that is efficient, low-cost, and can stably produce ultrathin lithium metal anodes.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes, which uses biaxial (dual-nozzle) rotary spraying of two-dimensional material dispersion and lithium powder dispersion to obtain a uniformly dispersed two-dimensional material lithium powder composite film. A single anti-lithium dendrite layer is sprayed on the last layer to prevent the lithium powder from contacting the external atmosphere, which facilitates subsequent operations. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes is provided. This method involves biaxial (dual-nozzle) rotary spraying of a two-dimensional material dispersion and a lithium powder dispersion to obtain a uniformly dispersed two-dimensional material-lithium powder composite film. A single anti-lithium dendrite layer is then sprayed on the last layer to prevent the lithium powder from contacting the external atmosphere, facilitating subsequent operations.
[0007] To solve the above problems and achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0008] A method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes includes the following steps:
[0009] The first step is to uniformly disperse lithium powder and two-dimensional materials in solvents with similar boiling points or in the same solvent to form lithium powder dispersion and two-dimensional material dispersion, respectively.
[0010] The second step involves spraying the two-dimensional material dispersion and the lithium powder dispersion onto the substrate using a biaxial rotary spray to obtain a lithium powder-two-dimensional material composite film. The lithium content can be adjusted by changing the electrode thickness, spraying rate, and lithium concentration in the raw materials.
[0011] The third step is to spin-spray a layer of anti-lithium dendrite material dispersion or lithium-affinity material dispersion onto the surface of the lithium powder-two-dimensional material composite film.
[0012] The fourth step is to dry the electrode to remove the solution and roll-press the film to obtain an ultra-thin lithium anode.

[0015] As an improvement to the method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes of the present invention, the solvent in the first step is at least one of lipids, ethers, N-methylpyrrolidone, vegetable oil and alkanes; the lipid is at least one of ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC), the ether is dimethyl ether (DME), and the alkanes are at least one of pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, decane or their isomers.
[0016] As an improvement to the method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes of the present invention, a dispersant may be added to the two-dimensional material dispersion. The dispersant is at least one of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), sodium lignosulfonate (SLS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide, polyacrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, and polyacrylamide.
[0017] As an improvement to the method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes of the present invention, the anti-lithium dendrite material includes one of fluorides, oxides and polymers, wherein the fluoride is at least one of lithium fluoride, tin fluoride, antimony fluoride, aluminum fluoride, zinc fluoride, zirconium fluoride, copper fluoride, bismuth fluoride, silver fluoride and manganese fluoride, the oxide is at least one of lithium oxide, tin oxide, antimony oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, copper oxide, bismuth oxide, silver oxide and manganese oxide, and the polymer is at least one of PEO, PAA, PVDF-HFP, PAN, PVC and PMMA.
[0018] As an improvement to the method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes of the present invention, the lithiophilic material is an oxide, a metal powder, or a compound with functional groups that can bind to lithium metal. The oxide is at least one of lithium oxide, tin oxide, antimony oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, copper oxide, bismuth oxide, silver oxide, and cobalt oxide. The metal powder is at least one of tin, copper, zinc, zirconium, silver, indium, gallium, and aluminum.

[0019] As an improvement to the method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes of the present invention, lithium dendrite-resistant materials or lithium-affinity materials are preloaded onto two-dimensional materials, or sprayed simultaneously with lithium powder and two-dimensional materials through a third nozzle to form a film.
[0020] As an improvement to the method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes of the present invention, the thickness of the lithium powder-two-dimensional material composite film is 1 micrometer-50 micrometers, the mass concentration of the two-dimensional material dispersion is 0.1-5%, the mass concentration of the lithium powder dispersion is 0.1-10%, the spraying time in the second step is 0.1-10 hours, the rotation speed is 5-2000 rpm, the drying temperature is 30-150℃, and the air pressure is 10 Pa to atmospheric pressure.
[0021] As an improvement to the method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes of the present invention, cross-mixing coating is performed by biaxial spin coating, or by scraping or spin coating to form a film. Preferably, it is biaxial spin coating, which is not spin coating. Spin coating uses centrifugal force to uniformly spread the solution on the substrate surface to form a film.

The last layer is a single anti-lithium dendrite layer or a lithium-affinity material layer, so that the lithium powder does not come into contact with the external atmosphere, which facilitates subsequent operations.
[0024] The present invention has at least the following effects:
[0025] First, the thickness can be controlled by the material dispersion concentration, time, rotation speed, etc.
[0026] Secondly, biaxial rotary spraying allows for effective mixing and in-situ drying, reducing agglomeration. Biaxial rotary spraying can be achieved through scraping, spin coating, or other cross-mixing spraying methods.
[0027] Third, using solid lithium powder instead of molten liquid lithium reduces energy consumption in the preparation process and improves safety.
[0028] Fourth, after drying, two-dimensional materials can adhere tightly to the surface of lithium powder, forming a closed space. At the same time, due to its shape, lithium powder also has some gaps, providing buffer space for volume expansion. Currently, lithium powder is available in two forms: spherical and irregularly shaped flakes. Using spherical powder can provide more buffer space, while using flake powder can provide a denser structure.
[0029] Fifth, functional particles can also be loaded onto the surface of two-dimensional materials, further improving the practicality of lithium anodes.
[0030] Sixth, this invention can be produced on a large scale, quickly and continuously, and at low temperatures; the resulting composite film has a surface protective layer that can be temporarily stable in air, making it easy to cut and apply directly. Attached Figure Description

[0059] The film prepared in this example has a thickness of approximately 2.7 micrometers, a specific capacity of 1386 mAh / g for the negative electrode material, an initial efficiency of 88.2%, and a cycle life of 478 cycles for the positive electrode LFP at 0.5C.
[0060] Example 6
[0061] This comparative example provides a method for large-scale preparation of ultrathin lithium anodes, which include raw materials such as graphene, lithium powder, tin oxide nanoparticles, and anti-lithium dendrite particles, and specifically includes the following steps:
[0062] First, graphene and polyethylene oxide were added to DMC at a mass ratio of 10:1 to graphene at a mass ratio of 1:50000, and ultrasonically stirred for 1 hour (ultrasonic rod, ultrasonic frequency 40 kHz, power 600 W, the same below). Finally, tin oxide nanoparticles at a mass ratio of 5:1 to graphene were added, and ultrasonically stirred for 1 hour to form the first dispersion. Then, lithium powder at a mass ratio of 2:1 to graphene was added to the second portion of DMC and ultrasonically stirred for 1 hour to form the second dispersion.
[0063] The second step involves mixing the two dispersions prepared in step 1 at a 1:1 ratio, and adding antimony fluoride. The mass ratio of antimony fluoride to the mixed DMC is 1:50. The mixture is ultrasonically stirred for 1 hour to form a mixed solution. The mixed solution is then placed on a scraper and uniformly coated into a film with a coating thickness of 30 μm at a coating temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. The scraper is then dried to obtain a thin film at a drying temperature of 80 degrees Celsius.
[0064] The third step is to roll the dried membrane material under a pressure of 1 MPa.
[0065] The film thickness prepared in this embodiment is approximately 4.8 micrometers, the specific capacity of the negative electrode material is 1386 mAh / g, the first-stage efficiency is 78.3%, and the cycle life of the positive electrode LFP at 0.5C is 494 cycles.
[0066] Example 7
[0067] The rotation speed in steps two and three of Example 1 is modified to 5 rpm, and the rest is the same as in Example 1, so it will not be described again.
[0068] The film thickness prepared in this embodiment is approximately 3.9 micrometers, the specific capacity of the negative electrode material is 1386 mAh / g, the first-stage efficiency is 75.3%, and the cycle life of the positive electrode LFP at 0.5C is 378 cycles.
[0069] Example 8
[0070] The rotation speed in steps two and three of Example 1 is modified to 2000 rpm. The rest is the same as in Example 1 and will not be repeated.
[0071] The film thickness prepared in this embodiment is approximately 5.9 micrometers, the specific capacity of the negative electrode material is 1386 mAh / g, the first-stage efficiency is 86.3%, and the cycle life of the positive electrode LFP at 0.5C is 571 cycles.

[0075] It is evident that the lithium anode in Example 1, after adding lithiophilic materials and anti-lithium dendrite particles, yielded relatively optimal test data. The reduced initial efficiency in Examples 2 and 3 is due to the need to consume lithium anode material to form an additional SEI layer, and the reduced cycle life reflects the decreased stability of the anode after the absence of the anti-lithium dendrite layer and lithiophilic material. Example 4, using a combination of MXene and black scale materials to replace graphene, also yielded an ultrathin lithium anode, but its performance was slightly inferior to that of Example 1. Example 5, compared to Example 1, removed the dispersant, resulting in a film with poor performance. Example 6, using a blade coating method instead of biaxial rotary spraying, resulted in a film with poor performance. In Example 7, adjusting the spraying speed to the lower limit reduced the uniformity of the film, leading to a decrease in performance. In Example 8, adjusting the spraying speed to the upper limit resulted in a film with better quality. In Example 9, achieving a film thickness of 46 micrometers yielded good performance.
