Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of metallic lithium processing, and particularly relates to a lithium-carbon composite tape and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Metallic lithium has always been a research focus in the field of lithium batteries, as it is a promising anode material with wide application potential in the future. However, pure metallic lithium has problems such as a large volume change during cycling and the tendency to form lithium dendrites, hindering its industrial application.
[0003] To address the issues inherent in pure metallic lithium, other materials have been composited with metallic lithium to obtain composite materials with superior performance and meet the demand for high energy density and long cycle life in lithium batteries. Among these, composites of inexpensive and widely available carbon materials with metallic lithium have been a focus of research. Lithium-carbon composites address electrode volume changes during cycling and suppress the formation of lithium dendrites. However, when carbon materials are added to pure metallic lithium, especially at high carbon content levels, the tensile strength of the lithium-carbon composite decreases, making it difficult to process and adhere to the current collector substrate. To improve the bonding strength between the lithium-carbon composite and the current collector substrate, the composite is typically performed using a high-pressure roll press. However, this often leads to swelling and separation between the current collector and the lithium-carbon composite, resulting in a rapid deterioration in the performance of the lithium-carbon composite during battery cycling and ultimately affecting the cycle life of the battery.
[0004] For these reasons, there is a need for a lithium-carbon composite tape that has high tensile strength and in which the lithium-carbon material is tightly bonded to the substrate. Summary of the Invention

In particular, a metallic lithium interlayer is provided between the substrate layer and the lithium-carbon material layer. The substrate layer provides high tensile strength as a lithium-carbon composite tape, while the in-situ bonded metallic lithium interlayer solves the problem of the substrate layer and the lithium-carbon layer not being tightly bonded together, which can easily cause swelling. Furthermore, the presence of the metallic lithium interlayer effectively reduces the internal resistance of the lithium-carbon composite tape. The lithium in this layer is active lithium, which contributes to the battery cycling process and can replenish the metallic lithium consumed in the lithium-carbon material layer.

[0039] The lithium-carbon composite tape prepared as described above was pressed (at a pressure of 2 MPa) with copper foil having metallic lithium deposited on its surface by roll pressing to obtain a lithium-carbon composite tape with a thickness of 60 microns. As shown in Figure 2, the lithium-carbon outer layer of the prepared lithium-carbon composite tape was tightly adhered to the copper foil substrate, and the surface of the lithium-carbon layer was flat and not blistered.

[0052] The prepared mixture was pre-dried at 85°C for 5 hours. The pre-dried material was placed in a crucible and subjected to high-temperature treatment under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a carbon skeleton material. The high-temperature treatment temperature was 1000°C for 5 hours. The carbon skeleton material prepared as described above was brought into contact with molten metallic lithium, and the metallic lithium was immersed in the carbon material. After cooling, a lithium-carbon block material with a three-dimensional carbon skeleton was obtained. After turning, roll pressing, and cutting, a lithium-carbon tape with a thickness of 60 microns was obtained.
[0053] Comparative Example 2 Substrate pretreatment A rotary plasma cleaning machine (Shenzhen Dongxin High-Tech Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.) was used to clean the 6-micron-thick copper foil, obtaining a copper foil substrate with no dust on the surface.
[0054] Preparation of lithium-carbon layer Polyvinyl alcohol (Aladdin Reagents (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.), polystyrene microspheres (Suzhou Weimai New Materials Co., Ltd.), carbon nanotubes (Shandong University), diethylenetriamine (Shanghai Yantai Industrial Co., Ltd.), isothiazolinone (Aladdin Reagents (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.), silver nanoparticles, and deionized water were mixed uniformly in a mass ratio of 6:9:9:5:5:2:75.
[0055] The prepared mixture was pre-dried at 85°C for 5 hours. The pre-dried material was placed in a crucible and subjected to high-temperature treatment under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a carbon skeleton material. The high-temperature treatment temperature was 1000°C for 5 hours. The carbon skeleton material prepared as described above was brought into contact with molten metallic lithium, and the metallic lithium was immersed in the carbon material. After cooling, a lithium-carbon composite block with a three-dimensional carbon skeleton was obtained. After turning, roll pressing, and cutting, a lithium-carbon composite tape with a thickness of 54 microns was obtained.
[0056] The lithium-carbon composite tape prepared as described above was pressed together with pretreated copper foil using a roll press (pressure of 2 MPa) to obtain a lithium-carbon composite tape with a thickness of 60 microns. As shown in Figure 7, the lithium-carbon composite tape had blisters on the surface, and the lithium-carbon layer and the substrate were not tightly bonded.
[0057] Comparative Example 3 A 50 micron pure lithium tape was roll-pressed to combine it with copper foil having metallic lithium deposited on its surface (pressure: 2 MPa) to obtain a lithium-copper composite tape; the other steps were the same as in Example 1.
[0058] Peel force measurement: Measurement samples measuring 25 mm wide and 150 mm long were prepared using the tape prepared in each example, with five samples per example. TESA 7475 adhesive tape (Desa Adhesive Tape Co., Ltd.) was applied to the measurement surface of the measurement sample and roll-pressed twice using a 2 kg standard roller. Double-sided adhesive tape was applied to the non-measurement surface of the sample, and the sample was fixed to a standard stainless steel plate and prepared for measurement. One end of the adhesive tape was peeled off the stainless steel, and the stainless steel plate was clamped in the lower jig, while the other end of the adhesive tape was clamped in the upper jig. The measurement test was performed at a speed of 30 mm / min and a pulling angle of 180°. The average value of the data measured by pulling the adhesive tape at 180° was recorded as the measurement result.
[0059] Tensile strength measurement Using the tapes produced in each example, measurement samples measuring 25 mm wide and 150 mm long were prepared, with five samples per example. The measurement samples were clamped in a measurement jig, and the measurement test was carried out at a speed of 50 mm / min and a pulling angle of 180°. The maximum tension value during the material fracture process was recorded, and the average value of the maximum tension values was taken to obtain the tensile strength of the material.
[0060] The peel strength and tensile strength values of each of Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are shown in the table below. [Table 1]
[0061] As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 in the above table, after forming a metallic lithium intermediate layer on the copper foil substrate, the peel strength of the lithium-carbon composite tape increased from 55 gf / 25 mm to 183 gf / 25 mm, indicating that the intermediate layer can significantly increase the adhesion of the lithium-carbon layer to the copper foil substrate. The tensile test data for Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, and Comparative Example 1 also showed that although the tensile strength of the lithium-carbon tape itself was low at only 45 MPa, after the lithium-carbon tape was roll-pressed onto copper foil or an organic polymer substrate (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate, polyacrylonitrile), the tensile strength of the material significantly increased, meeting the needs of industrial production.
[0062] Button batteries were assembled using the tapes prepared in Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 as the negative electrode and a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode. A Celgard 2500 PP film was used as the separator, and 1M LiPF6, EC:EMC = 3:7 (vol / vol) was used as the electrolyte. Charge and discharge measurements were performed on the assembled button batteries, with the measurement voltage range being 2.2 to 3.8 V and the charge and discharge current being 0.5 C. The measurement graph is shown in Figure 8.
[0063] As can be seen from Figure 8, in Comparative Example 3, the material made from pure metallic lithium rapidly decreased in discharge capacity and reached the end of its life after approximately 85 cycles, whereas the battery assembled with lithium-carbon material significantly extended its cycle life. Comparative Example 2 also used lithium-carbon material, but because the lithium-carbon material was directly composited with the substrate, the bonding between the substrate and the lithium-carbon material was poor, resulting in a decline in the performance of the lithium-carbon material, which may be related to the internal resistance of the material. Poor bonding between the materials increased the internal resistance, accelerating the rate of decline in the battery's cycle life. In contrast, the battery assembled with the material of Example 1 had the longest cycle life.
