Description

Modified diaphragm for metal lithium cathode and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and particularly relates to a modified diaphragm for a lithium metal cathode and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of industries such as electronics, information, and new energy automobiles, new energy storage devices have become the focus of scientific and technical development, and research and development of high-performance and large-capacity lithium ion batteries have become the research hot spot in the field of new energy and materials at present. Lithium ion batteries have played a critical role in many fields due to their advantages of high energy density, high operating voltage, long service life, environmental friendliness, and the like. At present, although the commercial mass production of the lithium battery taking graphite (with the specific capacity of 372mAh/g) as the negative electrode is realized, with the increase of the demand for high-capacity negative electrode materials, the traditional graphite with low specific capacity can hardly meet the development requirements of energy storage devices, and the development of the high-capacity secondary battery taking lithium metal as the negative electrode becomes the leading hotspot problem of international research again. Compared with the traditional graphite, the lithium metal negative electrode has ultrahigh energy density, the theoretical specific capacity of the lithium metal negative electrode is 3860mAh/g, which is ten times of the specific capacity of the graphite, and the volume density of the lithium metal negative electrode is low (0.534 g/cm)3) And has the most negative reduction potential (-3.040V, relative to hydrogen standard potential), is a long-term negative solution replacing graphite.
However, the cycling of lithium metal has been the most significant problem limiting its application, as it can be attributed to three aspects: (1) uneven deposition of metallic lithium surface: with the increase of the cycle number, lithium dendrite is gradually formed on the surface of the metal lithium, and the metal lithium continues to grow to form dead lithium, so that lithium pulverization and cavities are caused, electrolyte and active lithium are consumed in the process, the coulombic efficiency of the battery is reduced, and the polarization of the battery is increased due to the accumulation of the dendrite and the dead lithium, which jointly cause the rapid attenuation of the capacity of the battery, and in addition, the lithium dendrite and the pulverized metal lithium can also cause a series of safety problems of possible internal short circuit of the battery, thermal failure of the battery, even explosion and the like: (2) interface instability: the active lithium metal electrode is in contact with electrolyte and part of solid electrolyte to generate chemical reactions/electrochemical reactions with different degrees, and the SEI formed at the same time can be repeatedly generated and decomposed along with the generation of dendritic lithium metal and the volume change of the lithium metal electrode, so that the electrolyte and active lithium are continuously consumed, and meanwhile, the accumulation of side reaction products with poor lithium ion conductivity can cause polarization increase. (3) Volume change of metallic lithium: the absolute volume change of the metal lithium in the charging and discharging processes reaches up to 100%, and the SEI is cracked due to the huge volume change, so that the SEI is repeatedly generated and decomposed; in particular, for a lithium metal battery using a solid electrolyte, since the solid electrolyte is a relatively rigid and non-flowable substance, volume expansion/contraction of lithium of a negative electrode during charge and discharge, coupled with pulverization consumption of the lithium metal due to non-directional dissolution and deposition on the surface of the lithium metal, a partial void layer occurs between the electrolyte and the negative electrode of the lithium metal, and such void layer causes breakage of a lithium ion transport path and gradual increase of internal resistance of the battery, thereby causing a decline in battery capacity.
In order to solve the cycling problem of metallic lithium, considering process amplification and application feasibility, constructing a metallic lithium stabilizing interface layer (artificial SEI), and guiding uniform lithium deposition are the most direct and efficient solutions. At present, it is common practice to introduce various additives, such as Vinylene Carbonate (VC), FEC and other solvents, and LTFSL, LiFSI, LiNOj and other lithium salts, into the existing electrolyte, and by introducing an SEI component with higher stability and stronger structure, consumption of active lithium by SEI decomposition can be reduced to a certain extent, but long-term cycle performance still needs to be improved urgently.
Based on the above SEI repair, researchers have recently proposed the construction of artificial interfacial layers, also called artificial SEIs, on lithium metal surfaces, such asSiO2、Al2O3Physically modified interfaces such as polyacetylene, and LizN, LiPO4The chemical modified interface with the ion conduction function such as PEO plays a more obvious role in guiding lithium to be uniformly deposited and improving the short-term lithium cycle performance, however, because the chemical modified interface lacks the binding force with the metal lithium and lacks the elasticity, when the volume of the metal lithium is changed in the charging and discharging process, the interface layer is easy to fall off, so that the chemical modified interface is difficult to play a role in blocking the direct contact between the metal lithium and the electrolyte and inhibiting lithium dendrite in long cycle. In addition, the prior art generally adopts a method for directly modifying the metallic lithium, but because the metallic lithium is extremely active, the treatment must be carried out in a drying room with extremely low dew point; because the treatment usually involves the use of a solvent, the chemical stability of the metal lithium and the solvent, the process problems of surface wrinkles, even breakage, difficulty in winding and unwinding and the like of the metal lithium caused by solvent volatilization, and the potential safety hazard caused by a large amount of heat generation caused by possible side reactions need to be considered at the same time. Although the method can relieve the circulation problem of the metal lithium, the related effects are usually in the stages of material development, manual process, button cell and other small-sized cell verification, and an automatic process amplification method for improving and verifying the circulation performance of a ampere-hour-grade large cell is not available.

(2) The stability of the modified diaphragm interface layer per se is as follows: SEI is formed on the surface of a carbon layer (such as MCNT), and the framework of the SEI is kept unchanged, so that the integrity of the SEI is maintained, the barrier function of isolating Li from an electrolyte is fully exerted, and active lithium consumption caused by repeated generation and decomposition of the SEI generated by direct contact of lithium and the electrolyte is avoided.
(3) The modified diaphragm of the invention guides lithium to be uniformly deposited: on one hand, the modified diaphragm is used as a dynamic 'solvent storage tank' which enables lithium ions to freely enter and exit, when the battery is charged, the lithium ions stored by the modified diaphragm are distributed on the surface of the metal lithium in a dense and uniform ion flow mode, so that uniform deposition on the surface of the metal lithium is promoted, and the similar effect that the growth time of lithium dendrites is prolonged by similar high-concentration lithium salt so as to reduce the lithium dendrites is achieved; the dynamic replenishment of lithium ions comes from the metallic lithium negative electrode as the battery is discharged. On the other hand, the modified diaphragm is used as a transfer station of lithium ions, so that lithium deposition does not occur in the interior or on the surface of the diaphragm, and the problems of dendrite generation, diaphragm puncture and the like are caused.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below in order to clearly understand the technical features, objects, and advantages of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the practical scope of the present invention.
Example 1:
the embodiment provides a modified diaphragm for a metal lithium negative electrode and a preparation method thereof, and the modified diaphragm comprises the following steps:
(1) mixing the multi-wall carbon nano-tube: polyacrylic acid: lithium polyacrylate (mass ratio) is uniformly dispersed in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) by sanding (diameter of the sanded zirconium beads: 1.8 mm-2.0 mm, rotating speed: 2500r/min), and solid content is controlled to be 5 wt%, so that slurry of the modification layer is obtained.
(2) And (3) selecting a polypropylene (PP) diaphragm with the thickness of 14 mu m as a base film, and coating the slurry in the step (1) on the surface of the base film by using a coating machine in a micro-gravure coating mode, wherein the coating thickness is 10 mu m. Drying in a drying oven at 80 ℃ for 5min, transferring into a vacuum oven, vacuum drying at 50 ℃ for 20h, cooling, and taking out to obtain a modified diaphragm; the modification layer is uniformly attached to the surface of the basement membrane, and is uniform in thickness and 2 microns.
The embodiment also provides a lithium ion battery and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps:
the modified diaphragm prepared above was used as an intermediate diaphragm, metal lithium foils were respectively placed on both sides, a CR2032 button cell of Li/modified diaphragm/Li system was assembled with EC and DEC (volume ratio 1:1) solution of 1M LIPF6 as electrolyte, and a lithium-lithium symmetric cell polarization curve test was performed, and the experimental results are shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2.
Comparative example 1:
the comparative example provides an unmodified diaphragm assembled lithium ion battery, which specifically comprises the following steps:
a CR2032 button cell of Li/separator/Li system was assembled with a polypropylene (PP) separator of 14 μ M as a middle separator, metal lithium foils on both sides, and EC and DEC (1: 1 by volume) solutions of 1M LIPF6 as electrolytes, and polarization curve test of unmodified Li/basement membrane/Li symmetric cell was performed, and the experimental results are shown in fig. 1.
Fig. 1 and 2 are polarization curves of an unmodified Li/base film/Li (comparative example 1) and a Li/modified separator/Li (example 1) symmetric battery. Wherein, FIG. 1 is lmA/cm2(Current), 1mAh/cm2Symmetric cell polarization curves under (deposition amount) conditions; FIG. 2 shows 2mA/cm2(Current, 1 mAh/cm)2Symmetric cell polarization curves under (deposition amount) conditions.
As can be seen from fig. 1 and 2: the polarization potential of example 1 was 10mV and remained stable for up to 100h or more, whereas the polarization potential of comparative example 1 was up to 100mV and showed a tendency of increasing polarization after 100 h. The description shows that the modified layer in example 1 fully exerts its function as a dynamic "solvent storage cell" in which lithium ions can freely enter and exit, and when the battery is charged, the lithium ions stored in the modified layer are deposited on the surface of the metal lithium in a dense and uniform ion flow, so that the overpotential of lithium deposition is reduced, and the uniform deposition on the surface of the metal lithium is promoted, and therefore, the polarization potential of only 10mV is presented. Meanwhile, the SEI is formed on the surface of the carbon layer in the embodiment 1, the stability of the carbon layer frame well maintains the integrity of the SEI, and the barrier function of isolating Li from the electrolyte is fully exerted, so that the polarization potential can be kept stable in long-term circulation. In the comparative example 1, since the SEI is positioned on the surface of lithium, the volume change of the lithium causes the repeated decomposition and generation of the SEI, a poor conductor of lithium ions generated by the reaction is mixed with dead lithium and is attached to the surface of the metal lithium, so that the polarization potential of lithium deposition is continuously increased, and the lithium deposited in a non-uniform way forms dendrites when the cycle reaches a certain time and is accumulated, so that the battery is finally short-circuited, and the potential returns to zero after violent oscillation.
Table 1 compares the performance of the modified separator of example 1 with the unmodified separator of comparative example 1.
Table 1:
Figure BDA0002847750540000071
as can be seen from a comparison of table 1: the modified separator (example 1) had superior thermal stability (lower thermal shrinkage) and enhanced mechanical strength (needle punching strength, etc.) compared to the unmodified separator (comparative example 1).

And (3) taking the NCM811 with the diameter of 12mm obtained by the preparation as a positive pole piece, taking a polypropylene (PP) diaphragm as an intermediate diaphragm, dropwise adding an lmol/L ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate solution of lithium hexafluorophosphate as an electrolyte, finally covering a conventional metal lithium piece with the diameter of 14mm as a negative pole piece, sealing, and finishing the assembly of the button cell.
Comparative example 3:

(1) mixing the multi-wall carbon nano-tube: polyacrylic acid was uniformly dispersed in dimethylformamide at a ratio of 6:1 (mass ratio) by sanding (diameter of zirconium beads by sanding: 1.8mm to 2.0mm, rotation speed: 3000r/min) with a solid content of 5 wt% to obtain a slurry for a finish layer.
(2) And (3) selecting a polypropylene (PP) diaphragm with the thickness of 12 microns as a base film, and coating the slurry in the step (1) on the surface of the base film by using a coating machine in a micro-gravure coating mode, wherein the coating thickness is 10 microns.

As can be seen from a comparison of table 2:
example 2 maintained 80% capacity retention after 167 cycles, while comparative example 2 had dropped its capacity to below 80% after 100 cycles, confirming that the modification layer grown on the lithium surface has significant advantages in leading uniform deposition of lithium ions, maintaining SEI structure stability, reducing active lithium consumption and pulverization, etc.
The capacity maintenance rate of example 2 was still as high as 80% after 167 cycles, while the capacity maintenance rate of comparative example 3 dropped below 80% after 12 cycles, indicating that the selection of functional adjuvants and lithium-containing surfactants is critical for the performance of the battery. In particular, the absence of added lithium-containing surfactants results in loss of active lithium, while the by-products lead to increased polarization, which results in rapid decay of the battery cycle.
