Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a multi-layered lithium electrode
formed on a current collector with sequential stacks of a 10A - 100μm thick
lithium or lithium alloy layer and a 1A - 10μm thick porous metal or porous
carbon layer, its fabrication method, and lithium batteries comprising it. More particularly, it relates to a lithium electrode which is fabricated by in the order

BACKGROUND ART
Lithium batteries are generally divided into lithium primary batteries and lithium secondary batteries according to whether or not they can be recharged. In the case of lithium primary batteries, lithium is used as a negative electrode material, and Li-MnO2, Li-(CF)n, Li-SOCI2, etc. are used as a positive electrode material according to the type of cathode. These batteries are presently commercialized. (J. O. Basenhard, Handbook of Battery Materials, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim (1999)). However, the lithium primary batteries are disadvantageous in that non-uniform potential distribution occurrs due to local dissolution of a lithium electrode, resulting in degradation in the utilization of the electrode.
Meanwhile, in the case of lithium secondary batteries, although batteries using an anode made of a carbon group material and a cathode made of LiCoO2 or LiMn2O4 are presently commercialized, many studies of lithium anodes for increasing the energy density of cells have been made. (D. Linden, Handbook of Batteries, McGraw-HHI Inc., New York (1995)).
Although a lithium electrode has a very high theoretical capacity of 3,860 mAh/g, it has a low charge and discharge efficiency, and dendrites are deposited on the surface of the lithium electrode during charging. The deposited dendrites cause an internal short-circuit, so there is a possibility of explosion. Recently, there have been attempts to solve these problems by means of studies for increasing the charge and discharge efficiency by changing the form of lithium deposition by adding an additive to an electrolyte solution, studies for mixing fine metallic particles such as Ni and Cu, and studies for changing a lithium alloy composition (Handbook 103 of the 35th Forum for Discussion on Batteries (1994), Handbook 103 of the 35th Forum for Discussion on Batteries (1994), J.O. Basenhard, Handbook of Battery Materials, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim (1999)). However, no particular solution has been disclosed yet.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel lithium electrode by which the utilization and cycle life of the electrode are increased and the high-rate charge and discharge characteristics are improved.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a multi-layered lithium electrode with sequential stacks of a lithium or lithium alloy layer, and a porous metal or porous carbon layer.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of preparing the above multi-layered lithium electrode.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a lithium battery comprising the above multi-layered lithium electrode.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a multi-layered lithium electrode
formed on a current collector with sequential stacks of a 10A - 100μm thick lithium or lithium alloy layer and a 1A - 10μm thick porous metal or porous carbon layer, its fabrication method, and lithium batteries comprising it. More particularly, it relates to a lithium electrode which is fabricated by forming a
1θA - 100μm thick lithium or lithium alloy layer on a Cu- or Ni-current collector
and then coating a 1A - 10μm thick porous metal or porous carbon layer consecutively, and lithium batteries comprising it.
Figure 1 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a multi-layered lithium electrode of the present invention. As illustrated therein, in the lithium electrode 100 of the invention, a lithium or lithium alloy layer 101a is coated on a current collector 103, and the lithium or lithium alloy layer 101 a is in turn coated with a porous metal or porous carbon layer 102a. This porous metal or porous carbon layer 102a is coated with a lithium or lithium alloy layer 101 b, and the lithium or lithium alloy layer 101 b is coated with a porous metal or porous carbon layer 102b. In this manner, a multi-layered lithium electrode is formed by sequential stacks of lithium or lithium alloy layers 101 c....101 n and porous metal or porous carbon layers 102c .... 102n.
It is preferable that the lithium or lithium alloy layers 101a, 101b,
101 c...101 n are stacked at a thickness of 1A - 10μm, but they are not limited
thereto. As the lithium or lithium alloy layers 101 a, 101 b,....101 n become thiner, the number thereof to be coated becomes larger. In this case, the performance of the battery can be improved. Examples of mtals used for forming a lithium alloy in combination with metallic lithium include Al, Sn, Bi, Si, Sb, B and alloys thereof.
It is preferable that the porous metal or porous carbon layers 102a, 102b, 102c....102n are coated at a thickness of 1A - 10μm, but they are not limited thereto. Examples of metals used for the porous metal layers include Ni, Cu, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Mo, W, Ag, Au, Ru, Pt, Ir, Al, Sn, Bi, Si, Sb and alloys thereof. Examples of carbon group materials used for the porous carbon layers includes graphite, cokes, hard carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, and activated carbon.
In the multi-layered lithium electrode of the present invention, the electrical conductivity of the electrode is improved, and accordingly current and potential distribution is made constant, resulting in the suppression of local overcharging. Thus, the utilization and cycle life of the electrode are increased, and because of their porosity, the porous metal layers do not reduce the transport rate of lithium, in particular, in large-sized batteries.
The multi-layered lithium electrode of this invention is fabricated by thin film fabrication techniques and certain pressing techniques commonly employed in an electrode fabrication process. In this specification, the term "thin film fabrication techniques" refers to techniques for physical deposition under a non-aqueous atmosphere. These thin film fabrication techniques include thermal deposition, electron beam deposition, ion beam deposition, sputtering, arc deposition, laser ablation deposition methods, and the like. These deposition methods are advantageous in that a desired single metal or alloy can be freely coated, a pure porous metal or porous carbon can be coated without external contamination, the uniformity of coatings can be achieved, and the deposition thickness and time can be controlled by adjusting the rate of deposition freely. It is preferable that the lithium or lithium alloy layers and porous metal or porous carbon layers which form the lithium electrode are pressed. In this specification, "pressing" refers to densification of the layers by applying pressure. Means for pressing includes a roll press and plate press. The pressure applied at this time is usually 10kg/cm2 - 100 ton/cm2.
The method of preparing a multi-layered lithium electrode according to the present invention will now be described more specifically. The multi- layered lithium electrode is fabricated as follows: a) Coating lithium or a lithium alloy on a copper or nickel current
collector at a thickness of 10A - 10μm by a thin film fabrication technique and certain pressing technique to obtain a lithium or lithium alloy layer on the current collector; b) Pressing the lithium or lithium alloy layer by using a certain roll press to density the layer; c) Coating porous metal or porous carbon on the lithium or lithium alloy
layer at a thickness of 1 A - 10μm by a thin film fabrication technique to obtain a porous metal or porous carbon layer on the lithium or lithium alloy layer; d) Pressing the lithium or lithium alloy layer by using a certain roll press to density the layer; and e) Sequentially repeating coating of a lithium or lithium alloy layer on the porous metal or porous carbon layer, certain pressing, coating of a porous metal or porous carbon layer on the lithium layer or lithium alloy, and certain pressing, thereby fabricating a multi-layered lithium electrode.
In addition, examples of lithium or lithium alloys used for fabricating the above-described lithium or lithium alloy layer include a thin plate made of lithium or a lithium alloy and fine particles thereof.
According to the embodiments of the present invention, the multi- layered lithium electrode, fabricated with sequential stacks of a lithium or lithium alloy layer and a porous metal or porous carbon layer, increases the utilization and cycle life of the lithium electrode and improves the high-rate charge and discharge characteristics by increasing the conductivity of the lithium electrode and by keeping potential distribution constant on the surface of the electrode. The multi-layered lithium electrode of the present invention can be widely used to fabricate a variety of lithium batteries including lithium primary batteries and lithium secondary batteries. For example, there are lithium primary batteries using the lithium electrode of the present invention and MnO2, (DF)n or SOCI2as a cathode, and lithium secondary batteries using the lithium electrode of the present invention and LiCoO2, LiNiO2l LiNiCoO2, LiMn2O4, V2O5, or V6O13as a cathode. In addition, the lithium electrode of the present invention is advantageous in that it can be used as an anode material of a lithium ion battery using a separator such as PP (polypropylene), PE (polyethylene), etc., a lithium polymer battery using a polymer electrolyte, and a complete solid-type lithium battery using a solid electrolyte, among the lithium secondary batteries.
