    摘要: A method for pretreating a lithium electrode, and a lithium metal battery, and in particular, a method for stabilizing a lithium electrode through pretreatment of being immersed in a composition for forming a solid electrolyte interphase, and a lithium metal battery including such a lithium electrode. Effects of decreasing interfacial resistance and enhancing Li charge and discharge efficiency are obtained when forming a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on a lithium electrode in advance using a pretreatment process of the lithium electrode, and then using the SEI layer-formed lithium electrode in a lithium metal battery.

    摘要: A lithium electrode and a lithium secondary battery including the same, and in particular, to a lithium electrode including a lithium metal layer; and a surface treatment layer formed on the lithium metal layer, wherein the surface treatment layer includes a surface treatment compound including a functional group capable of bonding with lithium metal and a hydrocarbon group substituted with one or more fluorine. By being provided with a surface treatment layer including a specific functional group, the lithium electrode improves stability of lithium metal as well as suppressing side reactions on the surface, and thereby allows high capacity, high stability and long lifetime of a lithium secondary battery.
