Background
Metallic lithium has the lowest electrode potential (lithium has the lowest electrode potential standard hydrogen electrode) and an ultra-high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh electrode polarity) -1 ) And is an attractive cathode material for next-generation high-energy-density batteries. However, the problems of unlimited volume effect, lithium dendrite and the like exist, which cause the problems of low coulombic efficiency, poor cycle performance and safety for the first time, and the practical application of the lithium dendrite is severely restricted. Graphite has a small volume effect (volume change) as a current mainstream negative electrode material of a commercial lithium secondary battery<10%), better cycle performance, low cost, etc., however, the gram capacity of the catalyst gradually approaches to the limit value and cannot meet the requirements of people on the limit valueHigh specific energy and practical requirements for fast-charging batteries.

In addition, the film has high mechanical strength and good flexibility, can relieve the volume effect of lithium metal while inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites, maintains the stability of the structure of the negative pole piece, and improves the cycle life and the safety of the secondary battery.

Negative pole piece
This application provides a negative pole piece in one aspect, the negative pole piece includes:
a negative electrode active material layer;
an inner layer film covering the negative electrode active material layer; and
an outer layer film covering the inner layer,
wherein the negative electrode active material layer comprises graphite, the inner layer film comprises at least 10 monolayers of a metal organic compound, and the outer layer film comprises at least 40 monolayers of an organic polymer.
In the present application, the anode active material layer may be a graphite anode active material layer commonly used in the field of lithium ion batteries. The anode active material layer is commercially available. In one embodiment, the negative electrode active material layer includes a negative electrode active material graphite, a conductive agent, a binder, a current collector, and/or the like. Optionally, the graphite is selected from one or more of natural graphite, artificial graphite and the like. In one embodiment, the negative electrode active material layer includes graphite and conductive carbon black. In another embodiment, the negative electrode active material layer includes graphite, conductive carbon black, and Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR). In another embodiment, the negative electrode active material layer includes graphite, conductive carbon black, styrene butadiene rubber, and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).
In the present application, the monolayer of the inner film is formed of one or more inner materials selected from Zincone (zinc-based organic-inorganic composite film), alucone (aluminum-based organic-inorganic composite film), titanicone (titanium-based organic-inorganic composite film), and the like. For example, the monolayer may be obtained by alternately pulsing a metal precursor, an organic precursor containing two or more functional groups (e.g., a diol (phenol), a polyol, a dicarboxylic acid, etc.), and optionally a reducing agent radical (e.g., a hydrogen radical, an ammonia radical, etc.) onto the substrate. The Zincone monomolecular layer can be obtained by the reaction of a zinc precursor (such as diethyl zinc), an organic precursor (such as ethylene glycol, hydroquinone and the like) and an optional reducing agent free radical (such as a hydrogen free radical) and the like; the Alucone monomolecular layer can be obtained by reacting an aluminum precursor (such as trimethylaluminum), an organic precursor (such as ethylene glycol, hydroquinone and the like) and an optional reducing agent free radical (such as a hydrogen free radical) and the like; the Titanicone monomolecular layer can be obtained by reacting a titanium precursor (such as titanium tetrachloride) with an organic precursor (such as ethylene glycol, glycerol and the like) and optionally a reducing agent radical (such as a hydrogen radical) and the like.
In the course of forming the monolayer, the monolayer may include a simple metal if a reducing agent radical (e.g., hydrogen radical) is used. Preferably, the monolayer is composed of a simple metal.
Preferably, the monolayer of the inner film comprises a Zincone monolayer.
The inner film may cover (e.g., completely cover) the surface of the anode active material layer, or may directly cover (e.g., completely cover) the surface of the anode active material layer.
The inner film comprises at least 10 monolayers, and optionally, the inner film comprises 10 to 60 monolayers. In one embodiment, the inner film comprises 15 to 50 monolayers, such as 20 to 45 monolayers and 25 to 35 monolayers.
In the monolayer of the inner layer film, optionally, a total of 1 to 15 monolayers include elemental metal, for example, 1 to 10 monolayers include elemental metal, or 2 to 6 monolayers include elemental metal. The monolayer including the simple metal may be randomly distributed in the monolayer of the inner film. For example, the monolayer including the simple metal substance is continuously distributed, or the monolayer including the simple metal substance is continuously distributed near the anode active material layer. Optionally, the monomolecular layer including the simple metal substance contacts a surface of the anode active material layer.
In one embodiment, the monomolecular layers containing the simple metal are all located at the bottom of the inner layer film (i.e., near the surface of the anode active material layer). And metal ions in the deposition layer close to the bottom in the inner layer film are reduced, so that lithium ions are captured in the charging process of the battery to form an M-Li alloy, and further, the uniform nucleation and deposition of lithium at the interface of the inner layer film/the negative electrode active material layer are promoted.
Optionally, the ratio of the monomolecular layer containing the elemental metal to the total number of the monomolecular layers in the inner layer film is 1: (6-16), for example, 1: (6-12). Since the monomolecular layer containing the simple metal has relatively high electron conductivity, if the monomolecular layer is too thick, lithium metal may be deposited in the inner layer film, which may affect the structural stability of the inner/outer layer films.
Alternatively, a metal simple substance M such as Zn, al, ti and the like can form an M-Li alloy with metal lithium, so that the nucleation overpotential of the lithium is reduced.
In the present application, the monolayer of the outer layer film is formed of an organic polymer. The organic polymer is selected from one or more of organic polymers such as polyurea, polyurethane, polyamide and the like. Optionally, the organic polymer is polyurea.
In the present application, the inner layer film/outer layer film covering the surface of the negative electrode active material layer has a double-layer structure with a uniform and controllable composition and structure, and is prepared by a molecular layer deposition method. The outer layer membrane is made of organic polymers such as polyurea with electronic insulation and good flexibility, so that side reactions between the negative active material layer and an electrolyte interface can be reduced, meanwhile, the volume change of the negative active material in the circulating process is relieved, the structural stability of the negative pole piece is maintained, and the circulating life of the battery is prolonged. The inner film is made of a high mechanical strength and lithium-philic metal organic compound such as Zincone. The metal organic compound contains lithium-philic metal sites such as zinc simple substance. The metal sites can preferentially react with lithium ions to generate M-Li alloy, reduce the nucleation overpotential of lithium, and guide lithium to be uniformly nucleated and deposited at the interface of the inner layer film/the negative electrode active material layer. In addition, the metal organic compound has high mechanical strength, so that the formation of lithium dendrite is jointly inhibited from the nucleation and growth stages, the separation of the lithium dendrite and a current collector is avoided to form dead lithium which loses electrochemical activity, the capacity attenuation of the battery is prevented, and the high safety of the battery and the reversible lithium ion intercalation/deintercalation and the deposition/exfoliation of metal lithium in the circulating process are ensured.
In one embodiment, the inner and outer films have a total thickness of between 1 and 100nm, optionally between 5 and 50 nm.
In one embodiment, the monolayer layer number ratio of the outer layer to the inner layer is (2-5): 1. the outer layer film described herein includes an organic polymer such as polyurea, has high electronic insulation, and inhibits deposition of metallic lithium inside the SEI outer layer. However, the inner layer film includes a metal organic compound, and the organic compound contains a part of simple metal, so that the inner layer film has certain conductivity. In order to prevent lithium from being deposited inside the inner film, it is optional to reduce the thickness of the inner film so that lithium is deposited at the inner film/negative electrode active material layer interface. However, considering that the inner layer film has higher mechanical strength and rigidity than the outer layer in addition to the lithium-philic effect, and can effectively suppress the growth of lithium dendrites, the inner layer film needs to have a certain thickness.

Optionally, in the step S2, the controlling of the thickness of the inner film may be performed by controlling the number of times the metal-containing precursor and the organic precursor are pulsed in the step (S2-2), wherein the metal precursor or the organic precursor is considered to deposit one monolayer per pulse.
Alternatively, in the step S2, the reduction reaction in the step (S2-3) may be placed before and/or after the pulsing of the organic precursor in the step (S2-2).
Optionally, in the step S3, the organic polymer precursor is selected from one or more of ethylene glycol, ethylenediamine, 1, 4-hydroquinone, glycerol, and hydroquinone to form an organic polymer monolayer. The organic polymer includes but is not limited to one or more of polyurea, polyurethane, and polyamide.
Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD) principle: the molecular layer deposition is a preparation technology of an organic polymer and organic-inorganic hybrid film, can realize the deposition of a single molecular layer in each cycle, and has good process repeatability, film thickness, composition controllability and shape retention. The deposition principle is as follows: the thin film is produced by alternately introducing a plurality of reaction gases (or vapors) into the reactor in the form of gas pulses, chemisorbing and reacting by means of adsorbed molecules (such as hydroxyl or amino groups) remaining on the surface of the substrate. This allows the molecular layer deposition to have a self-limiting growth feature since each reactant participating in the reaction is confined to the molecule chemisorbed to the substrate surface.

3. N/P ratio
N/P ratio = negative electrode capacity per unit area/positive electrode capacity = negative electrode active material gram capacity × negative electrode surface density × negative electrode active material ratio/(positive electrode active material gram capacity × positive electrode surface density × positive electrode active material ratio).

Figure BDA0003334781200000151
The comparative results for examples 1-3 show that: as the number of deposited layers increases, the surface capacity of the battery gradually decreases, and the cycle performance decreases. The comparison results of example 1 and comparative example 1 show that the inner film having lithium affinity and high mechanical strength is advantageous in promoting uniform deposition of metallic lithium at the inner film/negative electrode active material layer interface, inhibiting lithium dendrite formation, and thus improving the cycle stability of the battery. The comparison results of examples 1,4 and 5 show that the proportion of the inner layer film is too high or the proportion of the metal single layer in the inner layer film is too high, which can cause lithium metal to deposit on the inner layer film, destroy the structure of the inner layer film/outer layer film and influence the cycling stability of the battery.
The comparison result between the embodiment 1 and the embodiment 6 shows that the monomolecular layer containing the metal simple substance is helpful for realizing the uniform deposition of the lithium metal on the graphite surface, thereby better inhibiting the generation of lithium dendrites and improving the safety performance and the cycle performance of the battery. The comparison result of the embodiment 1 and the comparative example 2 shows that the inner layer film/the outer layer film on the surface of the negative active material layer is beneficial to inhibiting lithium dendrite and preventing the lithium dendrite and the current collector from separating to form dead lithium which loses electrochemical activity, and the cycle stability of the battery is improved.
