Description

一种超薄金属锂复合体及其制备方法和用途 技术领域
本发明属于电化学领域,具体涉及一种超薄金属锂的制备方法及其用途。
背景技术
便携式电子设备及电动汽车的迅速发展,对其中储能环节的锂离子电池性能提出越来越高的要求。锂金属具有极高的理论容量(3860mA h g -1)和最低的氧化还原标准电极电势而备受电池研究工作者的关注,目前已成为下一代二次电池的研究热点。金属锂负极在商业化过程中存在的主要障碍为锂的不均匀沉积以及锂金属和电解液之间的副反应,尤其是锂的不均匀沉积引起的锂枝晶不仅导致电池库伦效率降低,还有可能刺穿隔膜使得电池内部短路从而诱发重大安全问题。因此锂金属的安全设计在其使用过程中具有重大意义。
商业化的锂片,最薄仍具有50μm的厚度,考虑到成本,科研单位实验室常用的锂片厚度约600μm,在目前的正极材料面容量的匹配下,商业化的锂片所具有的面容量则远远过量。为了节约使用锂金属并抑制锂负极在循环过程中存在的枝晶及库伦效率较低等问题,近几年来很多研究者采用电沉积方法制备了安全性较高的锂负极。研究表明,多孔集流体的使用将能在一定程度上改善锂枝晶的问题。一些负极材料,比如硅碳材料,若采用补锂工艺,有望使其性能得到进一步改善。补锂工艺中的所需要的锂一般较薄(~3mAh cm -2,对应的厚度为15μm),将超薄的金属锂层和硅碳材料复合,将使得硅碳负极材料具有更广阔的应用前景。此外,能实现超薄锂层的可控制备非常重要,将其变为具有可控性的锂层,将有助于其广泛用于电子器件。
目前锂带的制备方法主要是通过熔融法,CN104332586A公开了一种锂带的生产方法,包括以下步骤:S10、预冷隔膜:通过预冷装置预先将电池 隔膜的温度降低;S20、熔融锂锭:通过加热装置将金属锂锭的温度升高,使固态的金属锂锭变成熔融状的锂流体;S30、敷覆锂流体:将熔融状的所述锂流体敷覆在已经被预先冷却的所述电池隔膜表面;S40、终冷隔膜:通过终冷装置将已经敷覆所述锂流体的所述电池隔膜再次降低温度,使所述锂流体凝固形成锂带。同时还公开一种使用上述方法制作锂带的生产设备。通过提供一种锂带的生产方法及生产设备,取代传统的滚压制作超薄锂带的生产方式,避免了滚压过程中的锂带变色、厚度均匀性不可控等问题,实现简单、高效、可靠地生产锂带。除了加热熔融法制备锂,还可以通过电沉积的方法制备锂带,CN106702441A公开了一种连续电沉积制备锂带的方法,该方法包括依次进行的如下步骤:a、前处理:对金属基带进行活化处理;b、电沉积锂:采用恒流电沉积锂,先控制电流密度为5-50mA/cm 2,沉积0.5-10s;再调整电流密度为0.02-1mA/cm 2,沉积时间为1-10h;c、后处理:将电沉积后的金属带进行钝化,得到金属锂带。该金属锂带各处厚度均匀致密,通过调节电流密度与浸入镀液时间来调控锂镀层的厚度,易于制得各类厚度的锂带,但需要非常精确地控制电沉积条件,相比熔融法,需要的时间也较差,工艺参数相对复杂,生产效率偏低。
用热熔融法制备较薄的锂负极,面临的主要问题是熔融锂和众多基底间的浸润性差,限制了其大规模制备及应用。为了解决熔融锂和基底的浸润性差这一问题,Liang,Z.等人采用CVD的方法在基底上溅射硅,将其作为亲锂涂层使用,实现了泡沫铜等基底上的熔融锂铺展;此外,CN106898753A公开了一种硅包覆垂直石墨烯/金属锂复合材料及其制备方法和应用,该方法包括:利用磁控溅射技术在垂直石墨烯阵列表面沉积硅改性层,得到Si@VG复合阵列结构,提高垂直石墨烯阵列与液态金属锂之间的润湿性;在200℃以上的温度下将金属锂融化,与Si@VG阵列充分反应5-30min,得到Si@VG/Li复合金属锂负极材料。Lin,D.等人借助还原氧化石墨烯表面特有 的O-H、C-H、C-O-C等基团,实现还原氧化石墨烯孔隙内部的熔融锂浸入。CN106784635A公开了一种固态电池用复合锂负极的制备方法,主要通过热灌输熔融法或者电沉积法将锂金属沉积在三维碳材料或者泡沫多孔材料空隙中从而制备得到复合锂负极,其中三维碳材料和氢氧化钾混合,然后放入管式炉中氮气气氛下,800℃保温1h,三维碳材料具有的表面官能团包括C=C、C=N、C=O、N=N。Liu,Y.等人用原子层沉积法在基底上溅射ZnO,利用氧化锌和锂之间反应实现熔融态锂在基底上的铺展。原子层沉积及CVD方法,成本较高,工艺繁琐复杂,据文献报道,原子层沉积氧化锌的方法,需要沉积次数多达50次,对人力物力的耗费及其严重,而报道的还原氧化石墨烯,虽然可以直接使熔融锂浸入其内部孔隙,但对其他基底不具有普适性,且可设计性较差。CN105449165A公开了一种锂离子电池的富锂极片及其制备方法,在富锂过程中由于熔融锂的表面张力较大,需要控制补锂厚度较薄的情况下,加入陶瓷颗粒对熔融锂进行改性,陶瓷颗粒在熔融锂中起到钉扎点的作用,从而阻止了熔融锂球团化的趋势,陶瓷材料选自氧化铝、二氧化钛、二氧化硅、氧化镁、氧化皮、氧化锆、氮化硅、磷酸铝等,本发明对陶瓷颗粒的粒径、含水量都有较高的要求。目前已报到的各种过渡层均为无机涂层,且制备工艺大多需要通过纳米生长制备技术,比如CVD沉积或原子层沉积等技术,不仅成本较高且不利于大规模制备。深入发展超薄锂技术,不仅可以解决商业化锂片厚度过厚(~50μm)带来的锂资源浪费和安全性问题,还可以灵活的设计成和多孔集流体复合的安全锂金属负极材料、直接用于负极补锂工艺、通过图案化设计实现超薄锂的可控制备并用于电子器件中等,具有重要意义,因此发展更简便易行且具有普适性的方法得到超薄锂,对于锂金属电池等领域将具有深远的影响。
本发明创造性地通过在基底表面涂覆一层有机过渡层,以此改善基底和熔融锂之间的浸润性,通过控制制备过程参数,得到超薄的金属锂负极,制 备的超薄金属锂复合体,不仅可用于高安全性的锂负极和负极补锂工艺,还可通过基底的图案化设计实现超薄锂层的可控制备,大规模用于电子器件中。该过渡层位于基底和熔融锂之间,表现出对众多基底的普适性,制备过程简单,适用于大面积制备,具有广阔的应用前景及优势。

制备的超薄金属锂层用于高安全性的锂负极材料时,高安全性的锂负极材料,包括作为集流体的多孔材料和超薄锂金属。集流体在具有较大孔隙(高达上百微米)时对锂枝晶的抑制作用明显降低,因而可以选用具有微米孔隙的碳纤维毡、石墨毡或具有微米孔隙的铜集流体,结合制备的超薄锂层,作为能有效抑制锂枝晶的高安全性的锂负极材料。将本发明中制备的锂负极用于锂金属二次电池,预置的锂不仅可以满足正极材料的需求,而且在循环过程中,锂将在集流体的微米孔隙内发生重排,限制了金属锂在表面的生长及枝晶的生成,具有优异的长期循环稳定性。
制备的超薄金属锂层,可用于负极补锂工艺,比如用于硅碳负极的补锂,能够将金属锂定量且均匀的和硅碳负极复合,对负极片起到补锂作用。本发明中,不同基底上得到的5~10μm的超薄锂层,可以选择从基底机械剥离进而和硅碳负极复合,也可以选择合适的集流体直接作为基底,得到超薄锂复合体后直接与硅碳负极复合,用于硅碳负极的补锂工艺。超薄锂层具有的面容量,根据厚度得以调控,进而可根据实际需要设计不同厚度的超薄锂层和硅碳负极复合,提高硅碳负极的性能,使其具有广阔的应用前景。
制备的超薄锂金属层可通过基底上过渡层的图案化设计,实现超薄锂层的高度可控制备。在不同的基底上,可以预先通过喷墨打印等技术设计图案化的过渡层,进而将具有图案化的过渡层基底和熔融态锂进行接触10~30s,在无过渡层的区域,熔融锂将不能铺展,而对于有过渡层的图案化区域,熔融锂能较好的铺展,进而得到具有高度可控的锂金属薄层,可用于电子器件等领域。
与现有技术相比,本发明提供的超薄金属锂的制备方法,其优势在于,该方法的过渡层原料来源广泛,价格低廉,通过涂覆或浸渍法等,实施过程简便,适合大规模应用;此外过渡层对基底具有普适性,实用化程度高,熔融态锂和基底接触时间也较短;得到的超薄金属锂,和多孔负极集流体复合可作为二次电池中的高安全性锂负极使用,也可以直接用于负极补锂工艺,通过基底上过渡层的图案化设计还可以得到高度可控的超薄锂金属层并用于电子器件中,具有广阔的应用前景。

通过上述实施例可以看出,影响超薄锂层厚度的因素比较多,主要包括过渡层溶液的浓度、过渡层溶液的种类、熔融态锂和过渡层之间的接触时间以及熔融态锂所处的温度。过渡层溶液的浓度越高,熔融锂和基底的浸润性一般越高,锂层的厚度也将有增大的趋势,根据控制过渡层溶液的浓度可以得到独立的超薄金属锂层。制备的锂复合体,可以将其用于锂二次电池负极,或用于负极补锂工艺,通过基底过渡层的图案化设计,可以得到具有高度可控的锂金属薄层,用于电子器件等领域,具有广阔的应用前景,对锂金属大规模应用具有深刻的影响。
