Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of lithium metal/sodium metal battery cathode materials and electrochemistry, and particularly relates to a surface modification technology and a product of a lithium metal battery cathode or a sodium metal battery cathode.
Background
With the continuous development of industry, a large amount of harmful gas and smoke are generated in the combustion of the traditional fossil fuel, so that the natural environment and the social environment are seriously influenced, and the living environment of human beings is also greatly threatened. Therefore, it is urgent to develop renewable clean energy. Lithium ion batteries are widely used in portable electronic products due to their advantages of wide specific operating voltage, high discharge capacity, stable discharge, environmental friendliness, etc.
In recent years, with the rising of electric automobiles and the field of large-scale energy storage, corresponding electrode materials with higher specific capacity, higher energy power density and longer cycle life are required. However, the conventional lithium secondary battery is far from meeting the requirements of advanced energy storage devices due to the limited specific capacity.
The lithium metal cathode is regarded as a holy cup in the cathode material of the lithium secondary battery due to the ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity (3860mAh/g) and the lowest oxidation-reduction potential (-3.04V), can be applied to high-energy-density batteries such as lithium air, lithium sulfur and the like, and can be matched with a lithium ion anode material, so that the requirement of an advanced energy storage technology is met.
However, the lithium metal negative electrode is liable to form irregular lithium dendrite during deposition, and irreversible reaction of the lithium negative electrode with the organic electrolyte also causes irreversible capacity loss, so that cycle performance is rapidly degraded. On the one hand, the generated lithium dendrites are easy to fall off to form dead lithium, which not only reduces the coulomb efficiency of the battery but also aggravates the occurrence of side reactions. On the other hand, the formed lithium dendrites are easy to pierce through the membrane to cause internal short circuit, and even fire or explosion safety accidents occur.
In order to solve the problems, reasonable modification of the surface of the lithium negative electrode is important, and the construction of an interface modification layer is considered to be the most effective solution. The ideal interface modification layer needs to have excellent electronic insulation ion conduction characteristics to ensure the rapid migration of lithium ions and proper lithium deposition sites, and good chemical and electrochemical stability to ensure that the surface of metal lithium can be effectively protected in a long-cycle process and side reactions between the metal lithium and electrolyte can be reduced. In addition, the interface modification layer also has excellent mechanical properties to buffer the volume expansion during the lithium metal deposition and dissolution process and inhibit the continuous growth of dendrites.
However, the current interface modification layer construction technology has disadvantages and challenges, mainly because the key steps of the above process involve direct operation of lithium, and metallic lithium has ultrahigh chemical reactivity and is very easy to react with most atmospheres or reagents, and releases a large amount of heat or explosive gases such as hydrogen, which brings great insecurity and complexity to the operation and storage of metallic lithium. The high selectivity of atmosphere and reagent, and the high-purity and high-dry reagent and instrument equipment which are expensive, greatly limit the application popularity and large-scale commercialization of the process. In addition, many material systems are modification materials that can be used for the lithium negative electrode interface according to their own composition structure, but cannot be applied to the existing surface modification technology because of the incompatibility of the atmosphere and reagents with lithium.
Therefore, it is very important and significant to study an artificial interface layer construction technique using a lithium negative electrode metal which is low in cost, simple, free from environmental equipment limitations, and easy to handle.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
In the prior art, most of protection methods for lithium cathodes or sodium cathodes involve direct operation on metal lithium cathodes or metal sodium cathodes, and due to the ultra-strong chemical/electrochemical activity of alkali metal cathodes, the alkali metal cathodes are prone to have adverse side reactions with air and moisture, so that the metal cathodes are ineffective and safe.
The invention discloses a construction process of a lithium metal or sodium metal battery cathode-electrolyte interface layer and a product. The method is applied to lithium metal batteries and sodium metal batteries and is used for protecting lithium metal cathodes and sodium metal cathodes. The spontaneous transfer method of the invention does not involve direct operation of lithium, the pre-construction process at the whole interface layer can be carried out in air atmosphere and any cheap and common nontoxic solvent can be used, and no requirement is made on whether the metallic lithium negative electrode or the sodium negative electrode is stable or not.
In addition, the interface layer spontaneously transferred on the surface of the metal lithium cathode or the sodium cathode can reduce the contact between the metal lithium cathode or the metal sodium cathode and the electrolyte, so that adverse side reactions can be reduced, further the irreversible consumption of the alkali metal cathode and the electrolyte can be relieved, the generation of dendrites can be effectively inhibited by utilizing the excellent mechanical property of the interface layer material or the good physicochemical action of the interface layer material and metal ions, the metal lithium cathode can be stabilized, and the safety and the electrochemical property of the metal battery can be improved.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of the construction of a lithium negative electrode/sodium negative electrode surface interface modification layer according to the present invention, in which 1-position commercial separator, 2 is an interface modification material layer, 3 is a lithium metal/sodium metal negative electrode, and 4 is a positive electrode. As can be seen from the figure, the method of the invention has the following core steps:
the interface modification material is constructed on the diaphragm for the battery in advance in any atmosphere, and the process of injecting the electrolyte is inevitably existed in the battery assembling process, so the electrolyte can spontaneously infiltrate the diaphragm, and under the infiltration of the electrolyte, the interface modification layer can be spontaneously transferred from the diaphragm to the surface of the metal lithium cathode by utilizing the interaction between the interface modification material and the metal lithium cathode or the sodium cathode.
The interface construction technology avoids the direct operation of the metal lithium, does not need the protection of inert atmosphere, and does not relate to the selection of reagents such as active materials or dispersing solvents, thereby greatly reducing the process cost, obviously reducing the process complexity, widening the material system of the interface modification layer, providing a new idea for the construction of novel interface modification materials, and the interface modification layer constructed by the technology can effectively stabilize the metal lithium cathode, inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites, and prolong the cycle performance of the lithium cathode.
Wherein, under the immersion of the electrolyte, the affinity of the interface modification material and the metallic sodium or the metallic lithium is larger than the performance of the affinity membrane, so that the spontaneous transfer process can occur. Specifically, the lithium-philic or sodium-philic property of the interface modification material may be caused by a physicochemical reaction and/or a redox reaction, wherein the physicochemical reaction is electrostatic adsorption, and the redox reaction is an oxidation reaction of an oxidizing material and a reducing substance of lithium and sodium.
The interface modification material included in the method of the invention is selected from one or more of the following materials: graphene oxide and derivatives thereof, carbon nanotubes and derivatives thereof, graphene, carbon nitride, black phosphorus, boron nitride, metal oxides, metal sulfides, metal carbides, metal nitrides, lithium fluoride, lithium nitride, lithium sulfide, lithium oxide, lithium carbonate, lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide solid electrolyte (LLZO) and its derivatives, lithium germanium phosphorus sulfur solid electrolyte (LGPS) and its derivatives, polyethylene oxide (PEO) and its derivatives, Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and its derivatives, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its derivatives, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and its derivatives, polypropylene oxide (PPO) and its derivatives, polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) and its derivatives, polyacrylic acid (PAA) and its derivatives, Polyurethane (PU) and its derivatives, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and its derivatives, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and its derivatives. The diaphragm matched with the interface modification material can be selected from a polyethylene microporous membrane, a polypropylene microporous membrane, a polyethylene/polypropylene double-layer co-extrusion membrane, a polypropylene/polyethylene/polypropylene three-layer co-extrusion membrane, an aromatic polyamide diaphragm (PMIA), a polyethylene terephthalate diaphragm (PET), a poly (p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) diaphragm (PBO), a polyimide diaphragm or a cellulose diaphragm, and the diaphragm is used for a pre-loaded substrate of the interface modification material and a physical insulation layer between a positive electrode and a negative electrode.
The mode of constructing the interface modification material on the battery diaphragm in advance is concretely as follows: the dispersion, solution or suspension of the interface modification material is uniformly and compactly constructed on the diaphragm for the battery in advance in one or more modes of suction filtration, spray coating, drop coating, spin coating and blade coating, and the interface modification material can be constructed into one layer or multiple layers. When the interface modification material is constructed into a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers can be the same or different, and when the battery is assembled, the part close to the lithium layer is required to be ensured to be selected from the materials with stronger interaction with lithium, and the part close to the diaphragm is preferably the interface material with weaker interaction with the diaphragm, so that the constructed interface modification layer can spontaneously realize the transfer from the diaphragm to the lithium cathode.
In addition, the multilayer interface modification material can be constructed according to different components, morphologies, physicochemical properties and functions to realize optimization of comprehensive performance of the artificial interface layer, such as good electronic insulation ionic conductivity, stable electrochemical/chemical properties and excellent mechanical properties. In actual engineering, the design can be carried out as required, but specific material selection between different layers, construction mode and the like need to be developed separately.
FIG. 2 shows the possible existence of the interface modification layer as one layer or as a multi-layer structure according to the composition, morphology, physical and chemical properties and functions. The interface modification material layer may be a single layer of a single compound, a single layer of a mixture, or multiple layers, and when multiple layers are provided, each layer may be a single compound or a mixture.
The solvent in the dispersion, solution or suspension of the interface modifying material includes: one or more of water, isopropanol, ethanol, acetone, glycerol, ethylene glycol, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), N-dimethylformamide, chloroform and cyclohexane.
The thickness of the interface modification layer material in the prefabricated diaphragm is 0.5-50 μm, and if the thickness is too thin, the transferred diaphragm is incomplete, and if the thickness is too thick, the internal resistance of the battery is increased, and adverse effects are brought to the performance of the battery. The existence form of the interface modification layer on the surface of the lithium metal cathode or the sodium cathode can completely copy the pre-constructed appearance on the diaphragm, and the change of the micro and macro structure of the interface modification layer can not be caused.
In the method, the interface layer modification material is constructed on the diaphragm under any atmosphere to obtain the prefabricated diaphragm. In the battery assembling process, for example, a negative electrode battery case, a spring plate, a gasket and a metal negative electrode (which may be a metal lithium foil or a metal sodium foil) may be sequentially placed in a glove box from bottom to top, then a commercial diaphragm is placed, the side loaded with the interface layer material faces the metal negative electrode, then a positive electrode sheet and a positive electrode casing are placed, finally the battery is compacted, and the battery is tested after standing.
To illustrate the process of the invention in more detail, specific examples are given below in tabular form:
the performance of the lithium metal/sodium metal cathode containing the interface modification layer obtained after the interface modification layer is constructed can be optimized to different degrees, and the performance is particularly shown in that the interface modification layer can effectively isolate side reactions generated by direct contact of the metal cathode and electrolyte, the coulomb efficiency of the battery is improved to 90% or above, the cycle life can be prolonged to hundreds to thousands of circles, and the deposition appearance is smoother. In addition, different interface layer materials such as high-elasticity modulus materials such as black phosphorus, graphene, boron nitride and the like can be selected to effectively and mechanically inhibit the continuous growth of dendrites; for example, atoms with larger electronegativity such as O, F, N and the like exist in the interface material, and Li-O, Li-N, Li-F bonds and the like (such as carbon nitride and Li-N bonds) can be formed after the interface material is contacted with lithium, so that the deposition behavior of lithium ions can be effectively stabilized by regulating the concentration of the lithium ions on the surface of the lithium cathode; such as molybdenum disulfide, vanadium pentoxide, etc., can react with the metal cathode to form a high ion conductive layer (such as vanadium pentoxide, Li)xV2O5) The transmission of lithium ions at the interface is improved, the dendritic crystal can be effectively prevented from puncturing the diaphragm, the safety problem of a battery system is obviously improved, and the battery performance can be obviously improved when the lithium ion battery is applied to a metal battery.
In the invention, no other redundant steps are needed, and the interface layer material can be completely transferred from the diaphragm to the surface of the metal cathode only under the natural soaking of the electrolyte in the mature battery assembly process. The method mainly utilizes slight ionization generated on the surface of the metallic lithium negative electrode under the wetting of the electrolyte and the physical and chemical action between the interface layer material and the metallic lithium negative electrode, such as the excellent metal-lithium affinity characteristic of the interface layer material or the oxidation-reduction reaction between the interface layer material and the metallic lithium. The characteristics are discovered and utilized, so that the interface material can be constructed on the diaphragm firstly, and then is infiltrated by the electrolyte and then is transferred spontaneously, and a protection method similar to 'treatment without a break' is realized. The method of the invention is safe, simple, strong in manufacturability, not harsh in implementation conditions, and has extremely strong manufacturability and practical use value.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
