Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium metal batteries, and in particular relates to a protection method suitable for a lithium metal negative electrode.
Background
Along with the popularization of new energy automobiles, the requirements of people on the endurance mileage are continuously improved, and the energy density of the lithium ion battery is required to be further improved. However, since the lithium ion battery adopts graphite as the negative electrode material, the theoretical specific capacity is low and only 372mAh g-1 is available, so that the energy density of the lithium ion battery reaches the limit and the requirements of people cannot be met. However, metallic lithium has an ultra-high theoretical specific capacity of 3860mAh g-1, which is far in excess of the theoretical specific capacity of current graphite cathodes. When the metal lithium is matched with commercial lithium iron phosphate, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide and other high-voltage anodes, the energy density of the lithium metal battery is expected to reach 500Wh Kg-1, and the lithium metal battery is favorable for further popularization of new energy automobiles.
Lithium metal has higher theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh g-1) and lower reduction potential (-3.04V relative to a standard hydrogen electrode), is a key candidate material for breaking through the energy density of a new energy battery by 500Wh Kg-1, and is regarded as a 'holy cup' cathode of a next-generation high-energy-density battery. However, in the practical application process of the lithium metal anode, a series of problems such as poor cycle stability, low coulombic efficiency and the like exist. The root cause of the above problems is: lithium itself has high reduction activity, it is apt to take place the side reaction to produce the unstable solid electrolyte layer in the component (such as polar solvent) in the electrolyte, in the course of charging and discharging of the battery, because there is large volume change of the negative pole, the solid electrolyte layer can break in this course, then regenerate again, repeat this course continuously, cause the uneven solid electrolyte to produce and make lithium ion deposit in the negative pole unevenly, this uneven deposit can produce the area of charge enrichment again, cause the formation of lithium dendrite, dendrite puncture the diaphragm to cause the battery to short out, make the battery circulate unstably; in addition, the continuous cracking and formation of the solid electrolyte layer also continues to consume lithium metal, resulting in a continuous decrease in the available lithium source in the battery, resulting in low coulombic efficiency.

Example 7
The two lithium metals prepared in example 1 were used as a positive electrode and a negative electrode, respectively, and then assembled in the order of negative electrode case-leaf spring-gasket-lithium sheet-separator-lithium sheet-positive electrode case in a glove box filled with argon gas (H2O content <0.1ppm, O2 content <0.1ppm in the glove box) using a CR2032 type button cell case. The diaphragm is a glass fiber diaphragm, the electrolyte is DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) solution containing 1M LiTFSI (lithium bistrifluoromethane sulfonyl imide), and the electrolyte is required to be dripped on the diaphragm. And standing the battery for 12 hours outside after the battery is assembled, so that the electrolyte and the anode and the cathode are fully soaked.
Comparative example 1
Comparative example 1 differs from example 7 in that: the lithium metal negative electrode was not treated and had no protective layer.
The battery prepared in example 7 and the battery prepared in comparative example 1 were separately mounted on a battery test system of martial arts LANHE for testing. The test parameters were as follows: the current is 0.1mAh cm < -2 >, the capacity is 0.1mAh cm < -2 >, and the charge and discharge cycles of the battery are continuously carried out, so that the voltage-time curve of the battery is obtained. Fig. 1 (a) is a voltage-time graph of the battery prepared in comparative example 1, and fig. 1 (b) is a voltage-time graph of the Li-Li symmetric battery prepared in example 7.
It can be seen from fig. 1 that the voltage of the assembled symmetric cell using the treated lithium sheet is significantly lower than the voltage of the assembled cell using the untreated lithium sheet, which illustrates that lithium ions can pass through the surface solid electrolyte layer with less resistance and faster speed, which illustrates that the protective layer we have excellent ion conducting ability by pre-treatment.
In addition, it can be observed that the curve in fig. 1 (b) is very stable, while the voltage of the curve in fig. 1 (a) is continuously increased along with the time, because the protective layer on the surface of the lithium sheet after being treated by us is very stable and can be kept stable in long-time circulation, and the solid electrolyte layer on the surface of the untreated lithium sheet is continuously generated and broken in the circulation process, so that side reaction occurs, the impedance is continuously increased, the voltage is continuously increased in the diagram, and the stability of the double-layer protective layer artificially constructed by us is reflected from the side surface. As is more apparent from the data in table 1 below, the assembled battery using untreated lithium sheets had a voltage of 22.7mV at 250h and 155.1 at 1000h, and the voltage increased 6.83 times, indicating that the surface of the lithium sheets was severely damaged by side reactions, greatly affecting the deposition and stripping ability of lithium ions, which severely deteriorated the coulomb efficiency and cycle stability of the battery; the voltage of the battery assembled by the lithium sheets after treatment is 12.1mV at 250h, the voltage at 1000h is 14.3, and the voltage is only increased by 1.18 times, which shows that the surface structure of the lithium sheets after treatment is stable, the stable deposition and stripping of lithium ions can be maintained in long-time circulation, and the coulomb efficiency and the circulation stability of the battery can be greatly improved in the whole battery.
TABLE 1
In order to clarify the morphology and composition of the protective film, the surface and cross section of the treated lithium sheet were observed using a scanning electron microscope in this example, as shown in fig. 2. It can be seen from fig. 2 (a) that the surface of the treated lithium sheet is smooth and uniform, and that a protective film of about 26 μm is clearly provided over the lithium sheet, which is clearly distinguished from the bulk of the lithium sheet, and which is very uniform for uniform deposition of lithium, as can be seen from the cross-sectional view of fig. 2 (b).
In order to clarify the composition of the protective film, the present example uses the X-ray energy spectrum analysis technique to analyze the composition of the treated lithium sheet, and finds that the outside is mainly an organic compound composed of si—c-Li-O (Si content is 11%), while the inside is mainly a fluoride (F content is 10%), so that the protective layer is successfully constructed on the surface of the lithium sheet by the treatment of nonafluorohexyltriethoxysilane, and the protective layer is composed of the organic silicon oxide of the outside and LiF of the inside, so that the lithium sheet can be effectively protected, and the cycle stability and coulombic efficiency of the battery can be improved.
Example 8
A lithium-oxygen battery was assembled using the lithium metal prepared in example 3 as a negative electrode. Before the battery is assembled, the solvent, lithium salt, separator, battery case, etc. need to be sufficiently dried to avoid the influence of moisture on the battery, and then transferred into a glove box filled with argon. Wherein, the main component of the air electrode is Carbon Nano Tube (CNT), and the specific process for preparing the electrode is as follows: (1) Cutting a stainless steel mesh into pieces with the length of 1cm multiplied by 1cm, washing the pieces with deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol for several times to remove surface impurities, then placing the pieces in a vacuum atmosphere and drying the pieces at 100 ℃ for 8 hours, and weighing a current collector after drying for later use. (2) Weighing CNT and PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) according to a certain mass ratio, uniformly mixing, adding a proper amount of NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone), fully grinding to form uniform paste, uniformly coating the paste on a cut stainless steel net, and drying at 110 ℃ for 12 hours in a vacuum atmosphere. Weighing the dried electrode slices again, calculating the load capacity, and then placing the electrode slices into a glove box for standby. The specific combination process comprises the following steps: the negative electrode shell, the lithium sheet, the diaphragm (the electrolyte is a DMSO solution containing 1M LiTFSI) and the air electrode, and the positive electrode shell (with a plurality of pore canals with the diameter of 1 mm) are assembled in sequence from bottom to top. The assembled battery is clamped in a specially made glass bottle for storing gas, and then the bottle is filled with oxygen through ventilation of the oxygen bottle.
Comparative example 2
Comparative example 2 differs from example 8 in that: the lithium metal negative electrode was not treated and had no protective layer.
The battery prepared in example 8 and the battery prepared in comparative example 2 were respectively clamped on a wuhan LANHE battery test system for charge and discharge test, and the test parameters were as follows: and the current density is 200mAg-1, the gram capacity is 500mAh g-1, and the constant-volume constant-current charge-discharge cycle test is carried out. The obtained curves are shown in fig. 3, and the charge and discharge curves of the 1 st, 10 th, 20 th, 30 th, 40 th and 50 th circles are shown in fig. 3, so that the polarization of the battery is gradually increased along with the increase of the number of circles, but the battery is stable all the time, the performance of the treated lithium sheet is very excellent, the lithium sheet can be stably circulated in a lithium-oxygen battery system, and the excellent performance of a protective layer is proved.

In this example, the addition of a compound containing N, cl components to triethoxy (1 h,2 h-nonafluorohexyl) silane was beneficial for forming a protective film, and further enhanced the performance of the protective layer. Other specific preparation procedures were the same as in example 1.
Example 10
This embodiment is substantially the same as embodiment 1 described above. In this example, the lithium sheet was replaced with a lithium tin alloy, and the other specific preparation process was the same as in example 1.
Table 2 below is a comparison of the film thickness of the surface protection film after treatment of lithium metal with different fluorosilanes.
TABLE 2
In summary, in the invention, after removing the moisture in the fluorosilane, the fluorosilane is coated on the surface of the lithium metal negative electrode, and the reaction is performed for a preset time, so that the lithium metal negative electrode and the fluorosilane are reacted, and two protective layers are constructed on the surface of the lithium metal negative electrode. Wherein, after the lithium sheet is treated by fluorosilane, an inorganic protective layer (the main component is LiF/LiF+Li3N) is generated inside, which can effectively avoid side reaction and guide lithium to be deposited uniformly. After the lithium sheet is treated by fluorosilane, an organic protective layer (the main component is ROSiOxLiy (R is an organic group)) is formed outside, so that continuous crushing and formation of a solid electrolyte layer caused by severe volume change of a lithium anode can be effectively inhibited, and consumption of extra lithium is reduced. In addition, the invention uses the fluorosilane solution to treat the lithium sheet, has simple and quick operation and is beneficial to industrial production conversion.
