Detailed Description
Specifically, the preparation method of the high-rate long-life metal lithium composite anode material comprises the following steps:
A. heating an alloy reaction furnace to 300-1200 ℃ in an inert atmosphere, adding metal lithium into the reaction furnace to be fully melted, heating to 800-1200 ℃, adding an alloy intermediate phase, and continuously stirring; in the step A, the addition amount of the alloy intermediate phase is 0.1-20% of the mass of the metallic lithium; in the step A, the alloy intermediate phase is Al 2 Y、AlB 2 Or Al 2 At least one of Yb;
B. after the metal lithium and the alloy intermediate phase are fully mixed by stirring at high temperature, carrying out ultrasonic treatment to uniformly mix the materials;
C. casting under the ultrasonic treatment condition to obtain an alloy ingot, then adopting stepped cooling, controlling the cooling rate to be 3-5 ℃/min before 300 ℃, subsequently controlling the cooling rate to be 15-20 ℃/min, removing a surface oxide layer after cooling, and then heating to 60-150 ℃ for heat preservation, and cooling to room temperature to obtain the lithium alloy ingot;
D. and C, extruding the lithium alloy ingot obtained in the step (generally in an extruder), controlling the extrusion thickness to be 100-300 microns, and then carrying out multi-pass rolling on the metal lithium alloy strip to obtain the metal lithium composite anode material with the thickness of 10-50 microns.
In the step A of the invention, because the metallic lithium has high reactivity, the reaction furnace is generally required to be dried in a vacuum environment of 60-120 ℃ for 2-10 hours, water is removed in advance, and the reaction of the water and the metallic lithium in the high temperature at the rear end is avoided, so that impurities are generated.
In the step A, an alloy reaction furnace is heated to 300-1200 ℃, and the temperature is kept for 0.5-2 h, so that the metal lithium added into the reaction furnace is fully melted. If the temperature of the molten metal lithium is lower, the temperature is required to be increased to 800-1200 ℃ later, and then an alloy intermediate phase is added; the temperature of the molten metal lithium is 800-1200 ℃, and the temperature is not required to be raised.
The invention obtains the alloy material which can meet the mismatch degree requirement and heterogeneous nucleation condition with the metal lithium through screening, al 2 Y、AlB 2 、Al 2 The Yb alloy intermediate phase and the metallic lithium form heterogeneous nuclei; and e.g. Al 2 Ca,AlMg 2 Such alloys are not suitable.
In step A of the present invention, it is necessary to control the amount of alloy intermediate phase. Preferably, the addition amount of the alloy intermediate phase is controlled to be 0.5-10% of the mass of the metallic lithium, and the obtained anode material has more excellent performance.
In the step A, after the alloy intermediate phase is added, the continuous stirring time is controlled to be 0.5-4 h, so that the metal lithium and the alloy intermediate phase are melted and alloyed.
In step B of the present invention, although the materials can be sufficiently mixed by stirring at high temperature, the inventors found that segregation and sedimentation easily occur when casting is directly performed. Therefore, in order to ensure that the lithium metal alloy liquid in the whole reaction kettle is uniformly mixed during casting, ultrasonic treatment is also required by adopting equipment such as a ring ultrasonic instrument and the like. In the step B, the ultrasonic treatment time is 0.2-2 h.
In the step C, the ultrasonic wave only ensures that the alloy lithium liquid entering the casting nozzle is uniformly mixed before the mixed alloy material is cast, and the casting mold is not subjected to the ultrasonic wave when casting is performed.
In the step C of the invention, the temperature reduction program is controlled: the temperature is reduced by adopting a temperature reduction speed of 5 ℃/min before 300 ℃ (namely 300 ℃ -1200 ℃), so that the early-stage alloy intermediate phases are uniformly distributed in the whole metal lithium melt (the melting point of the alloy intermediate phases is higher than that of the metal lithium) in the prior nucleation process, and the alloy intermediate phases are prevented from being clustered together to form a certain concentrated area; when the temperature is lowered below 300 ℃ to room temperature, the temperature is lowered at a cooling rate of 20 ℃/min, because the alloy intermediate phase is completely nucleated and distributed in the whole melt at the moment, the rapid cooling can ensure heterogeneous nucleation growth of the metal lithium phase along the crystal grains of the alloy intermediate phase, thereby realizing the purpose of grain refinement.
In the step C, after casting, the temperature is raised to 60-150 ℃ again for heat preservation, so that the metal lithium alloy ingot is subjected to secondary annealing treatment, the crystallinity of a metal lithium phase is further improved, and meanwhile, the internal stress of the material is released. In the step C, the temperature is kept at 60-150 ℃ for 1-6 h.
In the invention, the steps A to C are all carried out under inert atmosphere; step D is generally carried out in a drying room, and the dew point is controlled to be between-45 ℃ and-60 ℃.
In the step D, a lithium alloy ingot is put into an extruder for extrusion, an extrusion die is controlled, the extrusion thickness is controlled to be 100-300 microns, the metal lithium alloy strip is rolled for multiple times, the rolling pass is controlled to be 2-5 times, the rolling reduction of each rolling is controlled to be 20-50%, the thickness is finally 10-50 microns, and the metal lithium composite anode is obtained by slicing.
The invention also provides a high-rate long-life metal lithium composite anode material which is prepared by adopting the method.
The invention also provides a lithium metal battery, which takes the metal lithium composite anode material as an anode.
The present invention will be described in further detail by way of examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Fig. 1 is a graph showing the comparison of the grain size and distribution of a pure metallic lithium anode and a modified composite anode. As can be seen from the electron microscope scan of FIG. 1, li-Al 2 The grain size of Yb is obviously smaller than that of pure metal lithium, which leads to obviously increased number of grain boundaries, and the addition of the intermediate phase of the alloy achieves the effect of heterogeneous nucleation, thereby reducing the grain size.
Electrochemical cycling stability, rate capability and mechanical strength of the pure metallic lithium electrode, metallic lithium composite negative electrode were compared in fig. 2, 3 and 4. As is apparent from fig. 2, the alloying treatment improves the side reaction between the lithium metal negative electrode and the electrolyte to some extent, and improves the structural stability of the material in the charge and discharge processes, thereby improving the cycle stability of the battery and enabling the battery to have longer cycle life. Fig. 3 shows a significant improvement in electrochemical rate performance of the lithium metal composite anode material. Meanwhile, fig. 4 compares the difference of the grain sizes of the refined lithium metal negative electrode in the mechanical strength, and the alloy intermediate screened by adopting the two-dimensional linear mismatch degree equation has a great influence on the growth nucleation of the lithium metal, so that the grain size of the lithium metal negative electrode is obviously reduced, the surface dislocation of the lithium metal negative electrode is increased, and the high mechanical strength is realized. Therefore, the composite alloy negative electrode prepared by the alloying means is an effective way capable of prolonging the cycle life of the battery and enhancing the multiplying power performance and the mechanical strength.
