Description

Ultrathin lithium strip prefabricated member, composite negative electrode, preparation method of composite negative electrode and battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of energy storage, in particular to an ultrathin lithium strip prefabricated member for a secondary battery, a composite cathode and a preparation method of the ultrathin lithium strip prefabricated member.
Background
The lithium battery is widely applied to the fields of aerospace, computers, mobile communication equipment, robots, electric automobiles and the like due to the advantages of high energy density, long cycle life and wide applicable temperature range. With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the requirements on the energy density and the cycle life of a lithium battery are higher and higher, but the lithium ion battery which only uses graphite as a negative electrode at present cannot meet the social expectation, so that the development of a novel positive and negative electrode material with higher specific capacity is needed. For the negative electrode material, the pre-lithiation work can effectively improve the specific energy of the battery and prolong the service life of the battery. Lithium metal has a high specific capacity (3860mAh/g, 10 times that of graphite negative electrodes) and the lowest redox potential (-3.04V VS standard hydrogen potential). The method has the advantages that the lithium metal is adopted to carry out pre-lithiation treatment on the traditional graphite cathode, so that on one hand, the first coulomb efficiency of the battery can be improved, the specific energy of the battery is increased, and on the other hand, the cycle life of the battery can be effectively prolonged, so that the lithium ion battery has a wider application field.
Although prelithiation (lithium supplementation) has such advantages, it places higher demands on the prelithiation of the negative electrode to precisely control its amount in the battery. The anode material adopted by the existing lithium ion battery is lithium-containing material (such as lithium cobaltate, lithium iron phosphate, ternary material and the like), the lithium contained in the anode can meet the charge and discharge requirements of the lithium ion battery, and the lithium lost by a Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) film can be supplemented only by a small amount of lithium (the thickness of the lithium is 0.5-10 microns) required by the cathode. In the chinese patent application CN201610102992.8 of new energy in ningde time, lithium powder is scattered on the surface of a pole piece during the lithium supplement process, and pre-lithiation is performed after rolling. However, the lithium supplement method cannot realize the precise control of the lithium supplement amount, and has the disadvantages of complex process, high cost and difficult control of safety.
In view of this, a technology capable of precisely controlling the amount of lithium supplement and achieving high energy density of a battery is required.

The method for manufacturing the ultra-thin lithium bar preform is described in detail with reference to fig. 4. A coil of lithium metal ribbon L is mounted on a lithium ribbon unwind spool 10, passing through a back-up roll 101 and into a nip roll 13. The roll of the support layer P is mounted on the unwinding shaft 11, and is attached to the lower side (in the upper direction in the drawing) of the lithium ribbon L to be fed into the nip roller 13 together with the lithium ribbon L. The bump release substrate P2 is attached to the unwinding spool 12, passes through the backup roller 121, and is attached to the upper side (in the direction of the drawing) of the lithium ribbon L, and enters the nip roller 13 together with the lithium ribbon L and the carrier layer P. After rolling by a roller 13, peeling the bump anti-sticking base material P2 to obtain the ultrathin lithium foil with the supporting layer P for supporting; then, a blade 16 (which assists the support roll 15) is used to remove a portion of the lithium metal to form an ultra-thin lithium bar preform PL. After passing through the roller, the bump anti-sticking base material P2 passes through the supporting roller 141 and is wound by the winding shaft 14; the prepared ultrathin lithium bar prefabricated member PL is wound by a winding shaft 17.
One method of preparing the bump release substrate P2 is: coating an anti-sticking material on a common substrate to prepare a film substrate with an anti-sticking function; pressure is then applied mechanically to the side not coated with release material, causing the release material-coated side to appear as a plurality of punctiform protuberances. After the punctiform protrusions, the lithium belt and the carrying layer enter a roller for rolling, micropores are formed at positions on the lithium belt corresponding to the protrusions. Therefore, the diameter, height and distribution density of the dot-shaped protrusions determine the diameter and porosity of the micro-pores in the ultra-thin lithium bar preform. The mechanical method for making the bumps may be: a sand blasting process or a rolling method is adopted. The sand blasting process method comprises the following steps: spraying fine particles on the side, which is not coated with the anti-sticking material, of the prepared anti-sticking film substrate by using pressure, so that the particles are impacted on the surface of the substrate to form pits, and convex points are formed on the corresponding side, which is coated with the anti-sticking material, of the substrate; the density of the salient points on the substrate is controlled by controlling the moving speed of the anti-sticking film substrate and the spraying amount of the fine particles. The rolling method comprises the following steps: the anti-sticking substrate is rolled by a pair-roller machine with at least one roller provided with convex points, so that the side of the anti-sticking substrate coated with the anti-sticking material is provided with the convex points, and the diameter and the density of the convex points are determined by the diameter and the distribution density of the convex points on the roller.

The composite negative electrode comprises a current collector C, a negative electrode coating N and an ultrathin lithium strip L compounded on one surface, far away from the current collector C, of the negative electrode coating N.
The method of manufacturing the composite anode is described in detail with reference to fig. 5. And mounting the cathode assembly CN coated with the cathode coating N on a unreeling shaft 22 for unreeling, so that one side of the cathode coating is opposite to the ultrathin lithium bar prefabricated member PL. The ultrathin lithium bar prefabricated member PL enters a rolling mill after being unreeled by the unreeling shaft 20, so that one side of the ultrathin lithium bar prefabricated member PL combined with the ultrathin lithium bars L is arranged opposite to the negative electrode component CN. The ultrathin lithium bar prefabricated part PL and the negative electrode component CN enter a rolling mill together, and after pressure composite transfer is carried out through a roller 23 and a roller 24, the ultrathin lithium bars L on the ultrathin lithium bar prefabricated part PL are transferred onto the negative electrode component CN, so that the composite negative electrode CNL is formed; and removing the ultrathin lithium strips from the ultrathin lithium strip preform PL, and only remaining the supporting layer P.
