Description

Ultrathin lithium film complex and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of energy storage, in particular to an ultrathin lithium film complex applicable to a secondary battery and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The lithium battery is widely applied to the fields of aerospace, computers, mobile communication equipment, robots, electric automobiles and the like due to the advantages of high energy density, long cycle life and wide applicable temperature range. With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the requirements on the energy density and the cycle life of a lithium battery are higher and higher, but the lithium ion battery which only uses graphite as a negative electrode at present cannot meet the social expectation, so that the development of a novel positive and negative electrode material with higher specific capacity is needed. For the negative electrode material, the pre-lithiation work can effectively improve the specific energy of the battery and prolong the service life of the battery. Lithium metal has a high specific capacity (3860mAh/g, 10 times that of graphite negative electrodes) and the lowest redox potential (-3.04V VS standard hydrogen potential). The method has the advantages that the lithium metal is adopted to carry out pre-lithiation treatment on the traditional graphite cathode, so that on one hand, the first coulomb efficiency of the battery can be improved, the specific energy of the battery is increased, and on the other hand, the cycle life of the battery can be effectively prolonged, so that the lithium ion battery has a wider application field.
Although prelithiation (lithium compensation) has this advantage, it places higher demands on the anode prelithiation to precisely control its amount in the cell. The anode material adopted by the existing lithium ion battery is lithium-containing material (such as lithium cobaltate, lithium iron phosphate, ternary material and the like), the lithium contained in the anode can meet the charge and discharge requirements of the lithium ion battery, and the lithium supplemented in the cathode only needs to provide a small amount of lithium to make up the lithium loss in the circulation process, so that the energy density of the battery can be improved and the cycle life of the battery can be prolonged. Since the amount of lithium pre-intercalation in the negative electrode is very small, the thickness of the lithium film for lithium replenishment is usually only 0.5 to 15 μm. In the chinese patent application CN201610102992.8 of new energy in ningde time, lithium powder is scattered on the surface of a pole piece during the lithium supplement process, and pre-lithiation is performed after rolling, so that the amount of lithium is small. However, the lithium supplement method cannot realize the precise control of the lithium supplement amount, and has the disadvantages of complex process, high cost and difficult control of safety. In view of this, a technology capable of controlling the amount of lithium supplement and achieving a high energy density of a battery is required.
Disclosure of Invention
The inventor finds that: when the ultra-thin lithium film is compounded on the support layer by a rolling process, the ultra-thin lithium film is not easily firmly attached to the surface of the support layer due to a large difference between the surface properties of the support layer (e.g., a plastic material) and the metallic lithium, and if a large pressure (stress) is applied for firm attachment, breakage of the ultra-thin lithium film or incomplete surface shape (breakage or uneven holes) is easily caused. For this reason, the inventors have made intensive studies and have unexpectedly found that: through forming specific stress control layer on the surface of bearer layer, not only can alleviate the surface property difference of bearer layer and metal lithium for ultra-thin lithium membrane is changeed and is adhered to the bearer layer, and the stress influence when can reducing rolling moreover makes ultra-thin lithium membrane keep better surface morphology. In addition, the adhesion force of the ultrathin lithium film and the bearing layer can be controlled through the stress control layer to be in a proper level, so that the ultrathin lithium film can be ensured to be compounded on the bearing layer, and can be easily transferred to other substrates such as a lithium battery cathode from the bearing layer. The inventors have also surprisingly found that: for the lithium film used for the negative electrode pre-lithiation, if the lithium film is provided with through holes, the electrolyte can easily enter the contact interface of the lithium film and the negative electrode diaphragm due to the existence of the holes, so that the pre-lithiation speed is improved, and gas generated during the pre-lithiation can be released from the through holes, so that the lithium film is prevented from being separated from the negative electrode diaphragm. Therefore, the lithium film having the through-holes can achieve a better pre-lithiation effect than the complete lithium film. Thus, ultra-thin lithium films with through-holes (0.5-20 microns, even 1-5 microns thick) can be produced by rolling in a roll-to-roll manner. Due to the existence of the through holes, the accumulation of internal stress in the lithium film in the rolling process is relieved to a certain extent, so that the lithium film is not easy to deform, and a thinner lithium film (for example, 1-5 microns) with uniform thickness can be prepared.

Example 4-graphite lithium supplement test:
firstly, preparing a graphite electrode, dispersing graphite powder (fibrate-rich), acetylene black AB (fibrate-rich), sodium carboxymethylcellulose CMC (Shanghai Haiyi), styrene butadiene rubber SBR (Shanghai Haiyi), 94:3:1:2 in deionized water, controlling the solid content to be 35%, the viscosity to be 2000-friendly 3000cp, stirring for 6 hours, coating the single surface of a coating machine on a 10 mu m copper film, and drying to obtain the 50 mu m graphite pole piece. Then, the ultra-thin 10 μ M lithium composite product obtained in example 3 was processed with a stress control layer (control adhesion 2N/M), the lithium film was applied to the graphite electrode surface under a pressure of 15MPa (see FIG. 8), the support layer was peeled off, and the lithium film was punched into a 15.6cm diameter sheet, which was combined with a lithium film to form a half cell using 1M LiPF6, EC/DMC/EMC (1/1/1) (fir electrolyte) as an electrolyte. Compared with a half cell without pre-lithiation, in the half cell in which the graphite negative electrode is pre-lithiated by using the ultrathin lithium composite, the first efficiency of the graphite negative electrode is improved from 92% to 100%, and the first effect is greatly improved.
Example 5 silicon carbon lithium test
Firstly, preparing a silicon-carbon electrode, dispersing silicon-carbon powder (fibrate-rich carbon), acetylene black AB (fibrate-rich carbon), sodium carboxymethylcellulose CMC (Shanghai Haiyi), styrene butadiene rubber SBR (Shanghai Haiyi) 94:4:1:2 in deionized water, controlling the solid content to be 38%, the viscosity to be 2000-3000cp, stirring for 6 hours, coating the single surface of a coating machine on a 10 mu m copper film, and drying to obtain the 50 mu m silicon-carbon electrode piece. Then, the 5 μ M ultra-thin lithium composite product obtained in example 1 was subjected to stress control layer treatment (control of adhesion 3N/M), a lithium film was transferred to the surface of a silicon carbon electrode by applying pressure of 15MPa (see fig. 9), a support layer was peeled off, a 15.6cm diameter pole piece was punched out, and a half cell was formed with the lithium film using 1M LiPF6, EC/DMC/EMC (1/1/1) (cedar electrolyte). Compared with a half cell without pre-lithiation, in the half cell in which the silicon-carbon negative electrode is pre-lithiated by using the ultrathin lithium complex, the first efficiency of the silicon-carbon negative electrode is improved from 76% to 95%, and the first effect is greatly improved.
