Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of negative electrode materials of metal lithium batteries, and particularly relates to a lithium negative electrode current collector and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The ideal lithium metal negative electrode (lithium negative electrode) has higher theoretical specific capacity (up to 3860 mAh/g), lower oxidation-reduction potential (3.04V relative to a standard hydrogen electrode) and low density, and is expected to be used in the next generation of high energy density batteries; how to achieve uniform and stable lithium deposition is the key to achieving an ideal lithium metal anode.
Uneven deposition of lithium ions can lead to dendritic or mossy dendrite structures on the electrode surface, and can also lead to electrolyte decomposition and gradual aggravation of lithium metal loss, serious decline of coulomb efficiency and shortened cycle life. When lithium dendrites continue to grow until they pierce the separator, thermal runaway and even fire explosion of the battery can also occur, causing serious safety problems. In addition, unlike graphite and silicon cathodes, the relative volume change of metallic lithium cathodes is virtually unlimited, which in turn can lead to collapse of the structure of the electrode during cycling.
To solve the above problems, researchers have developed various methods to stabilize lithium deposition during cycling, such as: and adopting a three-dimensional current collector, modifying a solid electrolyte intermediate phase layer (SEI film), establishing an artificial protection layer or using electrolyte additives and the like.
