Description

Preparation method and application of three-dimensional self-supporting composite lithium anode
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium ion battery anode materials and electrochemistry, in particular to a preparation method and application of a three-dimensional self-supporting composite lithium anode.
Background
Environmental friendly energy storage devices, including Lithium Ion Batteries (LIBs), have attracted considerable attention. LIB is still unavailable as a primary power source for consumer portable electronic productsThe method meets the requirements of other applications, such as mobility, for which higher specific energies and energy densities are highly desirable. These characteristics are determined by the capacity and operating voltage of the electrodes. For commercial lithium ion batteries relying on cobalt-based intercalation anodes and graphite cathodes, the specific energy density may actually exceed 250Wh kg -1 Although approaching the theoretical upper limit soon, the electric vehicle is still far below the expected value of high-energy equipment, and the limit of the driving mileage of the electric vehicle cannot be overcome. Development of high capacity cathode materials, such as lithium (Li) (or superlithium) rich cathodes and other high capacity cathode materials, and matching corresponding cathodes is an important strategy to increase the energy density of LIBs.
Lithium metal has an ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh g) -1 (ii)) and the lowest electrochemical potential (-3.04V compared to a standard hydrogen electrode), and can be paired with a different cathode material (e.g., based on intercalation (e.g., liFePO) 4 ,LiNi x Co y Mn 1-x-y O 2 ) Or cathodes based on multiple electron conversion (e.g. Li-S or Li-O 2 Batteries), achieving different levels of energy density, is considered an ideal choice for large-scale energy storage systems, and has received great attention.
Unfortunately, the common problems of lithium cathodes in lithium metal batteries include uncontrolled dendrite growth, infinite volume deformation, low coulombic efficiency, poor cycle performance, especially dendrite lithium growth, which in severe cases can puncture the separator, leading to direct contact of the cathode with the positive electrode, resulting in internal shorting of the battery and failure, limiting the practical application of lithium metal as a negative electrode for lithium metal secondary batteries. In order to solve the above problems, inhibition of dendrite lithium growth has become a primary consideration in designing advanced lithium metal anodes. Heretofore, various countermeasures have been proposed to alleviate these problems of the negative electrode. For example, cao et al propose a robust organic-inorganic composite oxide artificial layered lithium metal anode. The artificial layer contains polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), lithium difluoro (oxalic acid) boric acid LiBF 2 (C 2 O 4 ) (LiDFOB) and Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiators for in situ polymerization. Artificial SEI is produced by in situ polymerization by forming lithiated polymers with Li metal cathodesClose contact and with decomposition of LiDFOB provides a good lithium ion transport path and better chemical stability. In addition, the good mechanical property is favorable for forming a dendrite-free surface, and the serious side reaction between the lithium metal anode and the carbonate-based electrolyte is inhibited. In the Li NCM811 battery, the artificial SEI reached 58.4% high capacity retention after 300 cycles; for the Li symmetric battery of artificial SEI, 700h (0.5 mAcm -2 ,1mAh cm -2 ) The overpotential is about 60mV. (Nano Energy,2022,95,106983) the above study provides a new strategy for stable lithium metal cathodes, but these SEI layer strategies are not resistant to volume deformation during long-term cycling of the battery.
Therefore, a modification method of a lithium metal negative electrode which is simple and easy to operate is researched, effective space is provided for lithium deposition to relieve volume deformation, and a lithium-philic site is provided to effectively inhibit side reaction, so that growth of lithium dendrite is inhibited, cycle performance of the lithium negative electrode is prolonged, and the method is a great thrust for promoting practical application of a lithium metal secondary battery.

The three-dimensional self-supporting composite lithium negative electrode prepared by the method is applied to a lithium metal secondary battery and is characterized by comprising a positive electrode, a three-dimensional self-supporting composite lithium negative electrode, a diaphragm, electrolyte, a positive and negative electrode shell, an elastic sheet and a gasket, wherein the assembly sequence is shown in the following figure.

After high-temperature annealing and nitridation, nitriding the surface of the stainless steel mesh to generate a nitriding lithium-philic site, as shown in figure 1; after pre-storing lithium in the nitrided stainless steel mesh, a composite lithium anode with a smooth surface is obtained, as shown in fig. 2. Comparative example 2 and comparative example 2 symmetrical cell cycle performance graph (fig. 5) it can be observed that the three-dimensional composite lithium anode was at 5mA/cm 2 The current density of (2) can be stably cycled for more than 900 hours with lower overpotential, and the overpotential of a symmetrical battery assembled by bare lithium without any modification is rapidly increased after tens of hours of charge/discharge cycles, and the surface morphology of the battery after the cycle is observed after the battery is disassembled, so that the three-dimensional composite lithium negative electrode surface presents smooth, uniform and dendrite-free morphology and no lithium is deposited outside a hole, as shown in figure 3; the bare lithium negative electrode after the reverse cycle had a large amount of dendrite lithium on the surface with dead lithium build-up (fig. 4), which coincides with the rapid increase in overpotential of the symmetric battery assembled from bare lithium. The results show that the three-dimensional self-supporting lithium anode prepared by the method can effectively inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites and limit the volume deformation in the lithium deposition process. In addition, from compositing lithium in three dimensionsAs can be seen from a comparison of the voltage capacity diagrams of half cells with the positive electrode and the copper foil as the positive electrode (fig. 6), the nucleation overpotential of lithium on the three-dimensional composite lithium negative electrode is far lower than that on the copper foil, which indicates that the three-dimensional self-supporting composite negative electrode prepared by the method can effectively reduce the lithium nucleation overpotential. More importantly, the full battery prepared by matching and assembling the three-dimensional self-supporting composite lithium anode and the commercial anode can stably circulate for more than 200 circles with higher capacity retention rate (figure 7), the circulation stability is far higher than that of a full battery with a lithium sheet as the anode, and the ultrahigh coulombic efficiency is maintained.
In conclusion, the three-dimensional self-supporting composite lithium cathode prepared by the method can effectively induce lithium ion flow, promote uniform deposition of lithium ions and inhibit generation of dendrite lithium by performing nitriding pretreatment on a stainless steel mesh to generate a lithium-philic active site; and can provide a storage space for lithium deposition, buffer volume deformation in the lithium electroplating/stripping process, reduce deposition overpotential of lithium ions, and improve the cycling stability of the lithium metal secondary battery.
