Abstract:
Provided is a lithium metal anode comprising a Langmuir-Blodgett films as an artificial solid electrolyte interface layer, a lithium metal battery comprising the same, and a preparation method thereof. Various ultra-thin film layers made of carbon and ceramic are formed on the surface of the LiM to serve as a stable artificial SEI layer and suppress formation and perforation of lithium dendrite and side reactions.
Abstract:
A preparation method of a hollow carbon sphere includes preparing a hollow carbon sphere including fine pores by using mold particles and a material including metal-phthalocyanine. The prepared hollow carbon sphere has a carbon shell surface including fine pores, and the hollow carbon sphere may be impregnated with sulfur to prepare a carbon shell-sulfur composite and may be utilized as an anode material of a lithium-sulfur secondary battery. The carbon-sulfur composite material may improve extremely low electrical conductivity of sulfur, confine sulfur and lithium polysulfide originated from sulfur in the carbon shell in which fine pores are distributed to prevent lithium polysulfide having an extended chain structure from being dissolved in an electrolyte, minimize a shuttle reaction, reduce an overcharge amount between charging and discharging, and improve performance of a secondary battery. In addition, a method for mass-producing hollow carbon sphere and carbon shell-sulfur composite material is provided.
Abstract:
The artificial solid electrolyte interphase of an anode for a secondary battery including multi-walled carbon nanotubes to protect an underlying anode material in the form of a thin film. The use of the artificial solid electrolyte interphase enables rapid diffusion and stable deposition of lithium to inhibit the formation of dendrites. In addition, the artificial solid electrolyte interphase prevents side reactions between the lithium metal anode and the electrolyte, achieving good electrochemical stability and high Coulombic efficiency.
