Description

Liquid metal coating, preparation method thereof and application thereof in lithium-free metal lithium battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of materials, in particular to a liquid metal coating, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in a lithium-free metal lithium battery.
Background
Energy demand brought by environmental crisis and population growth caused by increasingly severe climate change is motivating global exploration of various forms of advanced energy storage technologies, and at present, lithium ion battery systems are taken as representative electrochemical energy storage, and become key elements of novel energy technology development due to higher conversion efficiency and flexibility. However, electrode materials based on an embedded reaction mechanism have been developed to the theoretical limit they can reach, and more new high energy density electrode materials are beginning to replace the conventional electrode materials for lithium batteries. Of the many high energy lithium battery systems, the closest commercial application is to match a high energy density layered transition metal oxide positive electrode with a lithium metal negative electrode, and their application will make the energy density of the lithium battery exceed 350Wh/kg and even 400Wh/kg, and thus have been receiving extensive attention from researchers. However, the ultra-high capacity is accompanied by a huge volume effect, which poses a challenge to the interfacial stability between the electrode and the electrolyte, and aggravates the irreversible side reaction between the electrode and the electrolyte. Thus, this battery system tends to be accompanied by lower first-week coulombic efficiency, and poorer cycle stability. For such a high energy system, the cycle life of the entire battery can be greatly improved by maintaining the interface stability between the lithium negative electrode and the electrolyte. Therefore, there are various proposals to promote uniform deposition of metallic lithium on the negative electrode.
These schemes can be mainly divided into two major categories, one category promotes uniform deposition of metallic lithium by regulating and controlling the electrochemical properties and mechanical properties of Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) films (or artificial SEI films); the other is to achieve uniform deposition of metallic lithium by controlling nucleation at the beginning of the metallic lithium process. These solutions do improve the first-cycle coulombic efficiency or the cycle stability of the battery properly, but they have some limitations: the performance improvement effect is not obvious, the material is unstable in the air, and the method is not compatible with the traditional battery production process. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a novel lithium negative electrode modification technical scheme, so that the energy density of the lithium metal battery without the negative electrode is greatly improved on the basis of low cost and simple process.
