摘要:
A method for forming lithium electrodes having protective layers involves plating lithium (16) between a lithium ion conductive protective layer (18) and a current collector (14) of an "electrode precursor". The electrode precursor is formed by depositing the protective layer on a very smooth surface of a current collector. The protective layer is a glass such as lithium phosphorus oxynitride and the current collector is a conductive sheet such as a copper sheet. During plating, lithium ions move through the protective layer and a lithium metal layer plates onto the surface of the current collector. The resulting structure is a protected lithium electrode. To facilitate uniform lithium plating, the electrode precursor may include a "wetting layer" which coats the current collector.

The invention disclosed is an alkali metal-ion secondary cell having a carbonaceous anode and an electrolyte, comprising an alkali metal salt dissolved in an organic electrolyte solvent. Intercalation and de-intercalation during repeated charge/discharge cycles of the secondary cell using a conventional electrolyte solvent causes continual exposure of bare surfaces of the carbonaceous material to the electrolyte, resulting in continual consumption of electrolyte in the formation of new passivation films on the bared or partially covered surfaces, adversely affecting the performance and capacity of the cell. An improvement on the conventional electrolyte involves the addition of chlorinated organic solvent to the conventional electrolyte and results in a more stable passivation film, much less consumption of electrolyte and better performance and cell capacity. In accordance with the present invention, the chlorinated organic solvent, chloroethylene carbonate, is replaced with a fluorinated organic solvent, fluoro-ethylene carbonate, capable of forming a very stable passivation film which is insoluble in the electrolyte. The cell efficiency of the secondary cell is improved substantially and high capacity retained by the replacement of the chlorinated organic solvent with fluorinated organic solvent.
