Background
Since metallic lithium has a high capacity (theoretical 3860mAh/g), a low density (0.59g/cm3), and a low electrochemical potential (-3.04vvs. standard hydrogen electrode), a metallic lithium secondary battery using metallic lithium as a negative electrode has superior performance in that it has a high voltage, a high energy density, and a high energy density, as compared with a lithium ion battery using a graphite negative electrode.
The existing composite lithium belt generally adopts a processing mode of rolling and forming a metal lithium belt and a base material. The metal lithium belt is generally produced by an extrusion molding process, for example, a metal lithium belt production device disclosed in chinese patent publication No. CN204564801U and a metal lithium belt processing method disclosed in chinese patent publication No. CN101497088B, all of which adopt an extrusion molding method. The composite lithium belt produced by the existing extrusion forming process has the defect of thicker thickness. When a thicker metal lithium belt is applied to the metal lithium battery, the capacity of the negative electrode is far more than that of the positive electrode, so that the waste of the metal lithium of the negative electrode is caused, the volume and the weight of the battery are increased, the volume and the mass energy density of the battery are reduced, and the promotion of the limit energy density of the metal lithium battery is not facilitated.
The chinese patent with publication number CN206992217U discloses a production device of composite lithium belt, which is equipped with a frame, wherein the frame is provided with an upper roller and a lower roller, the upstream of the rollers is provided with a current collector unwinding device, a lithium belt unwinding device and a protection film unwinding device, the downstream of the protection film unwinding device is provided with an unwinding guide roller, the downstream of the rollers is provided with a composite lithium belt winding device and a protection film winding device corresponding to the protection film unwinding device, and the upstream of the protection film winding device is provided with a winding guide roller. This apparatus for producing in compound lithium area adopts roll-in shaping's mode to be in the same place mass flow body and the compounding of metal lithium area, because metal lithium area itself thickness is thicker, in addition only rely on simple roll-in to combine together between metal lithium area and the mass flow body, have the problem that the cohesion is not enough.

According to the preparation method of the ultrathin composite lithium belt, the composite lithium belt is produced by immersing the substrate into molten metal lithium for paddle hanging, however, due to the fact that the viscosity of the molten metal lithium is high, the thickness of the paddle hanging on the substrate is greatly different, and the condition that the paddle hanging is not hung possibly exists in some areas of the substrate, due to the action of gravity, the condition that the paddle hanging is carried out on the upper side surface and the lower side surface of the substrate is greatly different, the lower side surface of the substrate is difficult to stably hang the paddle, and the quality of the composite lithium belt prepared by the preparation method of the ultrathin composite lithium belt is unstable.
