In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
In a first aspect of the present invention, a lithium metal negative electrode is provided, which includes a lithium metal sheet and a liquid metal alloy layer attached to a surface of the lithium metal sheet.
Specifically, liquid metal alloy layers are attached to two surfaces of the lithium metal sheet, the lithium metal sheet is isolated from the outside through the liquid metal alloy layers, the lithium metal sheet is prevented from being oxidized by air, meanwhile, an interface where the liquid metal alloy layers are in contact with the lithium metal sheet is used as a lithium liquid metal interface modification layer, so that the interface resistance between the lithium metal sheet and the liquid metal alloy layers is reduced, good lithium ion conductivity and electronic conductivity are provided, and the surface of the liquid metal alloy layer, which is opposite to the surface of the lithium metal sheet, is also used as a passivation layer when encountering air, so that the contact between the lithium metal sheet and the air is avoided, and the lithium metal cathode stably existing in the air is obtained.
In addition, the liquid metal alloy layer has good electronic conductivity, so that the lithium metal negative electrode can omit a negative electrode current collector.
The liquid metal alloy layer is obtained by melting and depositing at least one metal of indium and tin and gallium metal on the surface of the lithium metal sheet. The purity of these metals is not less than 98%, and if the purity is too low, impurities can affect the performance of the lithium metal negative electrode and further affect the performance of the assembled battery.
Preferably, in the liquid metal alloy layer, the ratio of gallium, indium and tin is, gallium: indium (b): tin (5-10): (0-5): (0-2), wherein the indium and the tin do not simultaneously take 0 value, for example, the indium and the tin can be gallium: indium (b): tin is 5:1:1 or 5:1:2 or 5:5:2 or 5:4:2 or 8:3:2 or 9:4:2 or 10:5:2 or 7:2:1, etc. For example, when only gallium and indium are contained in the liquid metal alloy layer, the mass ratio of the metals in the liquid metal alloy layer is gallium: indium (5-10): (0-5), indium does not take 0 value, and for example, gallium: 1:1 or 2:1 or 6:1 or 3:1 or 9:5 or 8:3, etc.; when only gallium and tin exist in the liquid metal alloy layer, the mass ratio of the metal in the liquid metal layer is gallium: tin (5-10): (0-2), wherein tin does not take a value of 0, and for example, may be gallium: tin is 5:1 or 5:2 or 6:1 or 3:1 or 7:2 or 8:1 or 4:1 or 9:2 or 10:1, etc.
In the lithium metal negative electrode, the thickness of the liquid metal alloy layer is (1-10) μm, the thickness of the liquid metal alloy layer is not too thick, if the thickness exceeds 10 μm, the total thickness of the liquid metal alloy layers on two sides of the lithium metal sheet reaches more than 20 μm, the liquid metal alloy layer occupies the internal space of the battery, so that the content of the negative electrode active material and the positive electrode active material is reduced, the liquid metal alloy layer is not too thin, and if the thickness is less than 1 μm, the possibility that the lithium metal sheet cannot be completely coated is easy to occur.

As a second aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a method for producing the above lithium metal negative electrode.
In one embodiment, the method of making the lithium metal anode includes the steps of:
s01, mixing and melting at least one metal of indium and tin and gallium metal to obtain a liquid metal alloy;
and S02, depositing the obtained liquid metal alloy on two surfaces of a lithium metal sheet to form liquid metal alloy layers to obtain the lithium metal cathode.
In step S01, when the formed liquid metal alloy contains three elements, i.e., indium, tin, and gallium, the mass ratio of the components in the liquid metal alloy is gallium: indium (b): tin (5-10): (0-5): (0-2), wherein the indium and the tin do not take 0 value; when the liquid metal alloy contains only indium and gallium, the ratio of gallium: indium (5-10): (0-5), the value of indium is not 0; when the liquid metal alloy contains only tin and gallium, the ratio of gallium: tin (5-10): (0-2), wherein tin does not take a value of 0. In the liquid metal alloy, the purity of each element is not less than 98%, and if the purity is too low, impurities may affect the battery performance.
In the step S02, the deposition method may be to directly dip the lithium metal sheet with clean surface and no oxide layer into the liquid metal alloy formed in the step S01; the liquid metal alloy obtained in step S01 above may be deposited on both surfaces of the lithium metal sheet by an electrochemical deposition method.
No matter what method is adopted to make the liquid metal alloy adhere to the surface of the lithium metal sheet to form the liquid metal alloy layer, the thickness of the formed liquid metal alloy layer is between (1-10) mu m, the liquid metal alloy layer is not too thin, if the thickness is less than 1 mu m, the possibility that the lithium metal sheet cannot be completely covered is easy to occur, and if the thickness is more than 10 mu m, the liquid metal alloy layer occupies too much space of the battery, so that the content of the positive electrode active material and the negative electrode active material in the battery is reduced, and the capacity of the battery is reduced.
Since the lithium metal negative electrode of the present invention has an effect of inhibiting the dendrite crystallization of the lithium metal sheet and also can omit the current collector of the negative electrode, the lithium metal negative electrode of the present invention can be used as a negative electrode of a lithium metal battery or a negative electrode of a lithium sulfur battery or a negative electrode of a lithium air battery.
