Description

Alkali metal protective layer, preparation method thereof and application thereof in alkali metal secondary battery
Technical Field

Background
The development of advanced energy storage technology is crucial to meet the requirements of portable electronic products, electric vehicles, stationary grid storage and the like. The alkali metal (lithium, sodium and potassium) ion secondary battery has the advantages of high energy density, long service life, environmental protection, low self-discharge rate and the like, is already applied or is about to be applied to various occasions on a large scale, and is an important energy storage device. The development and application of energy storage materials (including positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, electrolyte materials, conductive agent materials, binder materials and the like) have a key driving role in the development of energy storage devices. At present, the negative electrode of the alkali metal ion secondary battery is mainly a carbon material such as graphite, soft carbon, hard carbon, and the like. However, the actual energy density of most alkali metal ion secondary batteries using carbon materials as the negative electrode is gradually close to the theoretical limit value, and such alkali metal ion secondary batteries enter the development bottleneck period, and the energy density thereof cannot realize qualitative leap, so that a negative electrode material with higher theoretical capacity is urgently needed to meet the development requirement of emerging advanced energy storage devices.
Alkali metals are ideal anode materials for next generation alkali metal ion secondary batteries due to their high theoretical capacity and low standard electrode potential. Alkali metal ion secondary batteries, namely alkali metal secondary batteries, which take alkali metal as a negative electrode, comprise alkali metal-oxide batteries, alkali metal-sulfur batteries and alkali metal-air batteries, and all of the alkali metal-oxide batteries, the alkali metal-sulfur batteries and the alkali metal-air batteries have high theoretical energy density, and are important development directions in the field of future energy storage. However, the direct use of alkali metals as negative electrode materials still faces a series of problems to be solved: the alkali metal has active chemical property, is very easy to react with air and water, is difficult to be stored in the air for a long time, and is difficult to be stored and transported; the uneven surface shape of the alkali metal leads to uneven surface charge distribution, dendritic crystals are easily generated, the cycle performance of the battery is reduced, and the battery can be punctured through a diaphragm to cause short circuit and cause potential safety hazards. The air and water instability and uncontrolled dendrite growth of alkali metals have severely hampered the commercial application of alkali metal secondary batteries and have not been conducive to the development of the energy storage field. Therefore, the development of the alkali metal cathode which has air and water stability and can inhibit the growth of dendritic crystals can reduce the requirements on the storage and transportation environment of the alkali metal, improve the cycle stability and safety of the alkali metal secondary battery and have great practical value.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples and drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
Example 1
A preparation method of a lithium metal protective layer comprises the following steps:
(1) 0.05g of the dried PVDC powder was weighed out and dissolved in 9.95g of tetrahydrofuran, and stirred at 25 ℃ for 12 hours to form a slurry having a PVDC content of 0.5 wt%.
(2) In an argon atmosphere with water value and oxygen value less than or equal to 0.1ppm, in a concentration of 15 μ L cm-2Coating the slurry in the step (1) on the surface of a lithium metal sheet, and volatilizing tetrahydrofuran at 25 ℃ for 48 hours to obtain a lithium metal protective layer on the surface of the lithium metal sheet.
The scanning electron microscope photograph of the lithium metal protective layer obtained in this example is shown on the left side of fig. 1, and it can be seen from the figure that the lithium metal protective layer is a polymer layer uniformly coated on the surface of the lithium metal, and can play a role in blocking substances, such as air, water, etc., which have corrosiveness and reactivity to the lithium metal. The left upper right inset in fig. 1 is a digital photo of the lithium metal with the lithium metal protective layer obtained in this example, and it can be seen from the photo that the lithium metal maintains the original metallic luster and does not change the color or form, which indicates that the lithium metal protective layer is a colorless and transparent film and does not change the original characteristics of the lithium metal. As shown in fig. 3, when the lithium metal with the lithium metal protective layer obtained in this example is exposed to air at a temperature of 28 ℃ and a relative humidity of 40%, the surface of the lithium metal still has a distinct metallic luster after 10 minutes. The right side of fig. 1 is a scanning electron micrograph of the lithium metal with the lithium metal protective layer obtained in this example after contacting with air for 5min, and it can be seen from the micrograph that the lithium metal surface is still a uniform polymer layer, and no inorganic crystal particles appear; the right upper right inset of fig. 1 is a digital photo of the lithium metal with the lithium metal protection layer obtained in this example after contacting with air for 5min, which shows that the lithium metal surface of the lithium metal protection layer still has obvious metallic luster. The X-ray diffraction pattern of lithium metal with a lithium metal protective layer after 5min contact with air of fig. 4 shows that lithium metal with this lithium metal protective layer has only the diffraction peak of Li and no diffraction peak of LiOH after contact with air. These results demonstrate that the lithium metal protective layer of the present invention has excellent protection effect on lithium metal, and can be stably placed in air environment with high relative humidity without being corroded by air and water.
Two pieces of lithium metal with the lithium metal protective layer obtained in the embodiment are assembled into a symmetrical battery, the diaphragm is PP, and the electrolyte is LiPF6Dissolved in a mixed solution of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate, wherein the volume ratio of the ethylene carbonate to the dimethyl carbonate is 1:1, and LiPF6Is 1M. The performance of the battery is tested by using a BTS 7.6.x battery test system produced by Shenzhen New Power company in China, and the test condition is that the charge and discharge current is 1mA cm-2And charge-discharge capacity of 1mAh cm-2. As can be seen from fig. 7, the lithium metal with the lithium metal protective layer obtained in this embodiment can be stably cycled for 300h at a low deposition/exfoliation overpotential, which indicates that the lithium metal protective layer has a good lithium ion transport capability, and can effectively inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites during cycling, and the lithium metal with the lithium metal protective layer has a good cycling performance.
With a ternary material LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2(NCM523) as a positive electrode active material, and a positive electrode, a polypropylene separator and an electrolyte (LiPF) were formed using the lithium metal having the lithium metal protective layer obtained in this example as a negative electrode6Dissolved in a mixed solution of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate, wherein the volume ratio of the ethylene carbonate to the dimethyl carbonate is 1:1, and LiPF61M) and a negative electrode to obtain a lithium metal secondary battery. The performance of the battery is tested by using a BTS 7.6.x battery test system produced by Shenzhen New Power company in China under the condition that the current density is 0.152mA cm-2And the voltage range is 3-4.3V. Fig. 8 shows that such a lithium metal secondary battery has a normal charge and discharge curve, illustrating that the lithium metal protective layer does not affect the intercalation/deintercalation of lithium ions during the charge and discharge of the lithium metal secondary battery. As shown in the results of FIG. 9, it was confirmed that the first turn of the lithium metal secondary battery having the lithium metal protective layer can obtain 2.07mAh cm-2High specific discharge capacity of (2); after 100 cycles, the lithium metal secondary battery has a specific discharge capacity of1.86mAh cm -290% of the first-ring specific discharge capacity is reserved; the specific discharge capacity of the lithium metal secondary battery is still 1.66mAh cm even after 165 times of circulation-2And 80% of the first-circle discharge specific capacity is reserved. This fully demonstrates that the lithium metal secondary battery with the lithium metal protective layer can obtain higher specific capacity in the actual charging and discharging process and has good cycling stability.
Comparative example 1
A scanning electron micrograph of the lithium metal sheet is shown on the left side of FIG. 2, and it can be seen from the figure that the surface of the lithium metal sheet is relatively flat. The left upper right inset in fig. 2 is a digital photo with the lithium metal sheet, and it can be seen from the photo that the lithium metal sheet is silvery white and has a relatively obvious metallic luster. As shown in fig. 3, when the lithium metal sheet is exposed to air at a temperature of 28 ℃ and a relative humidity of 40%, the surface of the lithium metal becomes black after 2 minutes, and the original metallic luster is lost, and the black level of the lithium metal sheet is gradually increased instead of being restored as time goes by, which means that the lithium metal sheet rapidly reacts with air and moisture continuously and irreversibly to produce a substance capable of blackening the surface of the lithium metal sheet, and the substance is probably lithium nitride generated by the reaction of the lithium metal and nitrogen in the humid air. Fig. 2 is a scanning electron microscope photograph of the lithium metal sheet after contacting air for 5min, from which it can be seen that the surface of the lithium metal sheet has lost the original flat state and a large amount of crystal particles appear, so that the surface of the lithium metal sheet becomes uneven, loose and porous; the right upper right inset of fig. 2 is a digital photograph of the lithium metal sheet after 5min contact with air, which shows that the surface of the lithium metal sheet has completely blackened and lost the original metallic luster. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the lithium metal sheet after 5min contact with air in fig. 4 shows that the lithium metal sheet after contact with air shows LiOH diffraction peaks in addition to Li diffraction peaks, indicating that the lithium metal sheet reacts with water. These results indicate that the lithium metal sheet cannot be stably placed in an air environment, and is very susceptible to deterioration caused by air and water.
Further, 10 μ L of deionized water was dropped on the surface of the lithium metal plate, and it was observed that at the moment when the water drop contacted the lithium metal plate, the two reacted violently, releasing a large amount of gas, and fig. 5 is a digital photograph of the surface of the lithium metal plate before and after dropping water, which shows that the surface morphology of the lithium metal plate changed greatly after dropping water, and the color changed from silver white to black or white, which indicates that the lithium metal plate became rather unstable after encountering water.
Two metal lithium sheets are assembled into a symmetrical battery, a diaphragm is polypropylene, and electrolyte is LiPF6Dissolved in a mixed solution of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate, wherein the volume ratio of the ethylene carbonate to the dimethyl carbonate is 1:1, and LiPF6Is 1M. The performance of the battery is tested by using a BTS 7.6.x battery test system produced by Shenzhen New Power company in China, and the test condition is that the charge and discharge current is 1mA cm-2And charge-discharge capacity of 1mAh cm-2. As can be seen from fig. 7, the lithium metal sheet can only be stably cycled for about 150h, which is much lower than the lithium metal having a lithium metal protective layer, indicating that the lithium metal sheet cannot avoid the formation of lithium dendrites during cycling, and thus the lithium metal sheet shows poor cycling performance.
Taking the ternary material NCM523 as a positive electrode active material and the metal lithium sheet as a negative electrode, and taking the positive electrode, a polypropylene diaphragm and an electrolyte (LiPF)6Dissolved in a mixed solution of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate, wherein the volume ratio of the ethylene carbonate to the dimethyl carbonate is 1:1, and LiPF61M) and a negative electrode to obtain a lithium metal secondary battery. The performance of the battery is tested by using a BTS 7.6.x battery test system produced by Shenzhen New Power company in China under the condition that the current density is 0.152mA cm-2And the voltage range is 3-4.3V. As shown in FIG. 9, the specific discharge capacity of the first ring of the lithium metal secondary battery is 1.14mAh cm-2Lower than lithium metal secondary batteries having a lithium metal protective layer; after 100 times of circulation, the specific discharge capacity of the lithium metal secondary battery is 0.96mAh cm-284% of the first-turn specific discharge capacity is reserved; after 112 cycles, the specific discharge capacity of the lithium metal secondary battery is suddenly reduced to 0.45mAh cm-2Only 39% of the first-turn specific discharge capacity is reserved. This indicates that the lithium metal secondary battery has poor cycle stability during actual charge and discharge.

When 10 μ L of deionized water was dropped on the surface of the lithium metal having the lithium metal protective layer obtained in this example, it was observed that no reaction occurred when the water droplets were in contact with the lithium metal having the lithium metal protective layer, and only they were agglomerated on the lithium metal protective layer. Fig. 6 is a digital photograph of the lithium metal surface having the lithium metal protective layer before and after dropping water, and the photograph shows that the lithium metal surface having the lithium metal protective layer has no change in morphology after dropping water, which shows that the lithium metal protective layer has excellent water-proof property and can better prevent water from reacting with lithium metal.
