The test results in the table show that the cycle performance of the lithium battery is obviously improved by using the porous current collector as a negative pole piece. The invention adopts the three-dimensional porous current collector, and the solid electrolyte layer is adhered on the surface and in the hole of the current collector matrix, because a large amount of space is arranged in the current collector matrix and can accommodate lithium deposited during the charging of the lithium battery, the volume of the current collector is kept unchanged in the process of repeated deposition and separation of the lithium, the adverse effect caused by repeated change of the volume of lithium metal in the circulating process is reduced, meanwhile, the formation of lithium dendrite can be inhibited due to the existence of the solid electrolyte layer, and the circulating performance of the lithium battery is improved. And because lithium metal is not directly used in the manufacturing process of the battery, strict environmental control is not needed, and the manufacturing cost of the lithium battery is reduced.
The three-dimensional porous current collector is directly used as the negative electrode of the lithium battery, the volume of lithium metal deposited on the negative electrode can be estimated according to the lithium removal amount of the positive electrode material, and the three-dimensional porous current collector with proper porosity and proper pore size is selected; or calculating the space capable of accommodating lithium metal deposition in the current collector according to the volume and the porosity of the current collector, further determining the usage amount of the positive active material, and ensuring that the space in the three-dimensional porous current collector is fully utilized while reserving enough lithium metal deposition space.
For example: when copper foam having a thickness t (cm), a porosity α, and an average pore diameter r (μm) is used as the porous current collector substrate, the copper foam per unit area has a total pore volume of about t × α (cm)3) (ii) a When a solid electrolyte layer having a thickness of delta (mu m) is attached to the surface and the pore surfaces of the copper foam, the porous current collector has a total pore volume per unit area of about t x alpha x (1-delta/r)3(cm3). And the density of lithium metal was 0.534 (g/cm)3) And a molar mass of 6.94(g/mol), the amount of lithium metal that can be theoretically deposited per unit area of the porous current collector is 0.534 Xt. times.alpha. × (1-delta/r)3(g) I.e. theoretical surface of lithium metal depositionThe upper limit of the density is 0.534 Xt. times.alpha. × (1-. delta./r)3(g/cm2). If the positive electrode active material is LiCoO2The molar mass is 97.87(g/mol), the upper limit of lithium removal is calculated according to 50%, and for a single-chip battery, one porous current collector corresponds to one positive plate, so that LiCoO in the positive plate2The upper limit of the theoretical areal density of (C) should be 15.06 Xt. times.alpha. × (1-. delta./r)3(g/cm2) (ii) a For a laminated cell, a porous current collector is shared by both positive electrodes, and the theoretical upper limit of areal density for each positive electrode sheet should be 7.53 XT × (1- δ/r)3(g/cm2) Therefore, the using amount of the positive active material can be determined according to the volume and the porosity of the current collector, so that the pore space of the porous current collector is fully utilized.
