Description

Solid lithium metal negative electrode and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a solid lithium metal negative electrode and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the wide application of products such as mobile phones and notebooks and the technical maturity of new energy vehicles, the demand for lithium batteries is continuously increased, and the lithium battery cathode mainly comprises a current collector (copper foil with the thickness of 5-12 microns), an active material (a material for storing lithium ions in the charging process, mainly graphite or a part of silicon materials is doped in the graphite), a binder, a dispersing agent, a conductive agent and other materials. Along with the improvement of the product endurance requirement, the energy density (the battery charge and discharge capacity which can be achieved under the unit volume/weight) of the lithium battery is also continuously improved, and the requirement on the cycle life (one cycle of one charge and discharge) is also continuously improved.
Currently, there are many directions for improving energy density and cycle life in industry, one of which is to improve first efficiency (ratio of first discharged electric quantity to first charged electric quantity) and cycle life by supplementing lithium source, and the method is collectively called lithium supplementing technology. At present, two main ways of lithium supplement for the negative electrode are: firstly, preparing carbon-coated lithium powder, uniformly spraying the powder on the surface of an active material coating of a negative electrode, and then rolling; the other is to make lithium metal into thin slices, and roll-press and compound the thin slices on the surface of the active material coating of the anode in a physical mode. However, the above-described method still has drawbacks such as carbon-coated lithium powder: the uniformity of the particle size of the granulated powder carbon-coated lithium metal and the uniformity of the carbon coating are high, and the preparation is difficult; powdered carbon-coated lithium metal easily diffuses in the air, easily causes a safety problem, and is a risk for practical production and personnel. Lithium is supplemented by a thin lithium sheet: the adhesive force after rolling is insufficient, and the pole piece is easy to fall off in the subsequent processing process of the pole piece; the initial effect and the cycle performance are improved, the amount of lithium metal is small, the thickness of the lithium metal sheet is enough within 5 microns, and the thickness is difficult to control in the process of continuously processing the lithium sheet into a coil stock; the lithium metal is soft in texture, special treatment is needed in the rolling process and the subsequent coiling material receiving process, and adhesion between the lithium sheet and the roller press as well as after coiling material receiving is avoided.
In recent years, solid-state lithium metal anode technology is also one of the important methods for improving energy density. The technology is to change the original multiple components of the negative electrode into only two parts of current collector (copper foil) and lithium metal, wherein the lithium metal replaces the original active material and other components. The preparation method of the negative electrode mainly comprises the following steps: the lithium metal is rolled into a lithium sheet/strip with the thickness of 20-100 microns, and then the current collector is subjected to bundling and physical compounding, and then the lithium sheet/strip is used as a negative electrode.
However, the preparation of the above-described anode has the following drawbacks:
(1) The prepared solid lithium metal anode has the general thickness of 20-100 microns, the thickness used by manufacturers is generally 40-60 microns, and the lithium demand is still quite large based on the thickness calculated by the thickness, and is larger than the actual theoretical demand (lithium metal is used as a supporting body and few parts participate in the reaction), so that the actual cost of unit capacity is quite high and is far larger than the current conventional graphite system. And the lithium resource is limited, so that the subsequent technical popularization is limited;
(2) The solid lithium metal anode is physically rolled and compounded together, and the ductility of the two materials is inconsistent, and the lithium metal layer has a certain thickness, so that the possibility of separation of the current collector and the lithium metal layer easily occurs at the corner position in the subsequent processing process, particularly in a winding structural mode, and the structural design and the application of the product are limited to a certain extent;
(3) The lithium metal layer in the solid lithium metal negative electrode is formed by rolling a metal roller under the pressing force, the thickness is difficult to be less than 20 microns, the difficulty is multiplied along with the reduction of the thickness, the thickness consistency is also rapidly deteriorated, and the subsequent battery performance adopting the solid lithium metal negative electrode is influenced.
Therefore, how to provide a solid lithium metal anode with strong binding force, controllable thickness precision, small deposition thickness and capability of improving the initial efficiency and the cycle life of a battery and a preparation method thereof are problems to be solved by those skilled in the art.
