Description

超薄锂膜复合体及其制备方法Ultrathin lithium film composite and preparation method thereof 技术领域technical field
本发明涉及储能技术领域,尤其涉及一种可用于二次电池的超薄锂膜复合体及其制备方法。The invention relates to the technical field of energy storage, in particular to an ultra-thin lithium film composite that can be used in secondary batteries and a preparation method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
锂电池因其能量密度高,循环寿命长和适用温度范围广的优点而被广泛的应用于航空航天,计算机,移动通讯设备,机器人和电动汽车等领域。随着社会的发展,科技的进步,对于锂电池的能量密度和循环寿命要求越来越高,而目前单纯以石墨为负极的锂离子电池难以满足社会的预期,所以需要开发新型具有更高比容量的正负极材料。对于负极材料而言,进行预锂化工作,可有效提高电池比能量并增加电池寿命。锂金属具有高的比容量(3860mAh/g,为石墨负极的10倍)和最低的氧化还原电位(-3.04V VS标准氢电位)。采用金属锂对传统石墨负极进行预锂化处理,一方面可以提高电池的首次库伦效率,增加电池的比能量,另一方可以有效延长电池的循环寿命,这使得锂离子电池将有更广阔的应用领域。Lithium batteries are widely used in aerospace, computers, mobile communication equipment, robots and electric vehicles due to their high energy density, long cycle life and wide temperature range. With the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, the requirements for the energy density and cycle life of lithium batteries are getting higher and higher. At present, lithium-ion batteries with graphite as the negative electrode are difficult to meet the expectations of the society. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new models with higher ratios. capacity of positive and negative materials.

虽然预锂化(锂补偿)有如此优势,但是要精确控制其在电池中用量,对负极预锂化提出了更高的要求。目前现有锂离子电池所采用的正极材料均为含锂材料(例如钴酸锂,磷酸铁锂,三元材料等),正极所含锂已能够满足锂离子电池充放电需求,而负极补锂仅需提供少量的锂以弥补循环过程中的锂损失,即可提高电池的能量密度和循环寿命。由于负极预嵌锂的量非常少,通常对于补锂用的锂膜,其厚度只需0.5微米至15微米。宁德时代新能源的中国专利申请CN201610102992.8中,在补锂过程中将锂粉撒在极片表面,辊压后进行预锂化,锂用量很少。但是,该补锂方法尚无法实现对补锂量的精确控制,而且工艺复杂,成本较高,更重要的是安全性很难控制。鉴于此,需要一种能够控制补锂量并实现电池的高能量密度的技术。Although pre-lithiation (lithium compensation) has such advantages, in order to precisely control its amount in the battery, higher requirements are placed on the pre-lithiation of the negative electrode. At present, the cathode materials used in existing lithium-ion batteries are all lithium-containing materials (such as lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate, ternary materials, etc.). The energy density and cycle life of the battery can be improved by only supplying a small amount of lithium to compensate for the lithium loss during cycling. Since the amount of pre-intercalated lithium in the negative electrode is very small, the thickness of the lithium film used for lithium supplementation is usually only 0.5 μm to 15 μm. In the Chinese patent application CN201610102992.8 of Ningde Times New Energy, lithium powder is sprinkled on the surface of the pole piece during the lithium replenishment process, and pre-lithiation is performed after rolling, and the amount of lithium is very small. However, this method of supplementing lithium cannot achieve precise control of the amount of lithium supplementing, and the process is complicated, the cost is high, and more importantly, the safety is difficult to control. In view of this, a technology that can control the amount of lithium supplementation and achieve high energy density of the battery is required.
发明内容SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
发明人发现:当采用轧制工艺将超薄锂膜复合于承载层时,由于承载层(例如塑料材料)表面与金属锂表面性质存在较大差异,超薄锂膜不易牢固地附着于承载层表面 上,如果为了牢固附着而施加较大压力(应力),则容易导致超薄锂膜的断裂或表面形状不完整(破损或孔洞不均匀)。为此,发明人经过深入细致的研究,出人意料地发现:通过在承载层的表面上形成特定的应力控制层,不仅可以缓和承载层与金属锂的表面性质差异,使得超薄锂膜更易附着于承载层,而且可以减小轧制时的应力影响,使超薄锂膜保持较好的表面形态。另外,通过应力控制层还可以控制超薄锂膜与承载层的粘附力,使其处于合适的水平,既能确保超薄锂膜可以复合在承载层上,又可以容易地从承载层转移到其他基材例如锂电池负极上。发明人还出人意料地发现:对于负极预锂化所用的锂膜而言,如果锂膜具有通孔,则由于孔洞的存在,不仅可以使电解液更易进入锂膜和负极膜片的接触界面,提高预锂化速度,而且预锂化时产生的气体可以从通孔中释放出来,避免锂膜与负极膜片的脱离。因此,具有通孔的锂膜与完整锂膜相比,可以实现更好的预锂化效果。因此,具有通孔的超薄锂膜(厚0.5-20微米,甚至1-5微米)可以通过轧制以卷对卷的方式生产。由于通孔的存在,在一定程度上缓解了轧制过程中锂膜内部应力的积累,使得锂膜不易变形,从而可以制备更薄的厚度均匀的锂膜(例如1-5微米)。基于这些发现,完成了本发明。The inventors found that when the ultra-thin lithium film is compounded on the carrier layer by a rolling process, the ultra-thin lithium film is not easy to be firmly attached to the carrier layer due to the large difference in properties between the surface of the carrier layer (such as a plastic material) and the surface of metal lithium. On the surface, if a large pressure (stress) is applied for firm adhesion, it is easy to cause fracture of the ultra-thin lithium film or incomplete surface shape (broken or uneven pores). For this reason, the inventors have made in-depth and meticulous research, and unexpectedly found that: by forming a specific stress control layer on the surface of the carrier layer, not only the surface property difference between the carrier layer and metal lithium can be alleviated, but the ultra-thin lithium film can be more easily attached to the surface. It can also reduce the stress effect during rolling, so that the ultra-thin lithium film can maintain a better surface morphology. In addition, the stress control layer can also control the adhesion between the ultra-thin lithium film and the carrier layer to make it at a suitable level, which can not only ensure that the ultra-thin lithium film can be compounded on the carrier layer, but also can be easily transferred from the carrier layer. onto other substrates such as lithium battery negative electrodes. The inventor also unexpectedly found that for the lithium film used for the pre-lithiation of the negative electrode, if the lithium film has through holes, the presence of the holes can not only make it easier for the electrolyte to enter the contact interface between the lithium film and the negative electrode film, but also improve the performance of the lithium film. Pre-lithiation speed, and the gas generated during pre-lithiation can be released from the through hole to avoid the separation of the lithium film and the negative electrode film. Therefore, the lithium film with through-holes can achieve better prelithiation effect than the complete lithium film. Therefore, ultra-thin lithium films (0.5-20 microns thick, or even 1-5 microns thick) with through-holes can be produced in a roll-to-roll manner by rolling. Due to the existence of through holes, the accumulation of internal stress of the lithium film during rolling is alleviated to a certain extent, so that the lithium film is not easily deformed, so that a thinner lithium film with uniform thickness (for example, 1-5 microns) can be prepared. Based on these findings, the present invention has been completed.
