It can decline.Scientific research personnel forms one layer of artificial SEI film on cathode of lithium surface by pretreated mode, can avoid this problem,
The generation for effectively inhibiting Li dendrite, improves battery life.Cui etc. deposits two-dimensional material h-BN and graphene atom on copper foil
Layer effectively inhibits the generation of lithium metal dendrite in deposition due to h-BN and the high mechanical strength of graphene;Guo etc. passes through
Pretreatment introduces Li on cathode of lithium surface3PO4, the lithium ion diffusion rate of lithium metal and electrolyte interface is improved, to inhibit branch
Crystalline substance generates;In patent CN106935800A, poplar etc. forms a protective layer on cathode of lithium surface by impregnating or being electroplated.
Although the above method inhibits the generation of metal Li dendrite to a certain extent, in application process by many
Limitation, such as the method for Cui etc. are at high cost, and Guo etc. prepares Li3PO4Harshness is required to environmental condition, what the methods of poplar was formed changes
Property SEI film bad mechanical property, is unfavorable for the raising of battery cycle life.Therefore, how to be introduced and had by simple and effective way
There is the SEI film of high mechanical strength and high ionic conductivity, for inhibiting metal Li dendrite to generate, improving battery security has
Significance.
