Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of finely depositing lithium metal powder on a substrate.
- a finely deposited lithium metal powder may be used, for example, in forming an electrode for a primary or secondary battery.
- Lithium and lithium-ion secondary or rechargeable batteries have found use in certain applications such as in cellular phones, camcorders, and laptop computers, and even more recently, in larger power applications such as in electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. It is preferred in these applications that the secondary batteries have the highest specific capacity possible but still provide safe operating conditions and good cycleability so that the high specific capacity is maintained in subsequent recharging and discharging cycles.
- each construction includes a positive electrode (or cathode), a negative electrode (or anode), a separator that separates the cathode and anode, and an electrolyte in electrochemical communication with the cathode and anode.
- a positive electrode or cathode
- a negative electrode or anode
- a separator that separates the cathode and anode
- an electrolyte in electrochemical communication with the cathode and anode.
- lithium ions are transferred from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte when the secondary battery is being discharged, i.e., used for its specific application.
- electrons are collected from the anode and pass to the cathode through an external circuit.
- the lithium ions are transferred from the cathode to the anode through the electrolyte.
- secondary lithium batteries were produced using non-lithiated compounds having high specific capacities such as TiS 2 , MoS 2 , MnO 2 and V 2 O 5 , as the cathode active materials. These cathode active materials were coupled with a lithium metal anode. When the secondary battery was discharged, lithium ions were transferred from the lithium metal anode to the cathode through the electrolyte. Unfortunately, upon cycling, the lithium metal developed dendrites that ultimately caused unsafe conditions in the battery. As a result, the production of these types of secondary batteries was stopped in the early 1990's in favor of lithium-ion batteries.
- Lithium-ion batteries typically use lithium metal oxides such as LiCoO 2 and LiNiO 2 as cathode active materials coupled with a carbon-based anode. In these batteries, the lithium dendrite formation on the anode is avoided, thereby making the batteries safer. However, the lithium, the “usable” amount of which determines the battery capacity, is totally supplied from the cathode. This limits the choice of cathode active materials because the active materials must contain removable lithium. Also, delithiated products formed during charging and overcharging tend to be unstable. In particular, these delithiated products tend to react with the electrolyte and generate heat, which raises safety concerns.
- new lithium-ion cells or batteries are initially in a discharged state.
- lithium moves from the cathode material, such as LiCoO 2 or LiNiO 2 , to the anode material, such as graphite.
- a passivation film that forms on the anode is called a solid electrolyte interface or SEI.
- SEI solid electrolyte interface
- the SEI film is due to electrochemical reduction of species present in the electrolyte on the electrode surface.
- the lithium consumed by the formation of the SEI is not returned to the cathode. This results in a lithium-ion cell having a smaller capacity compared to the initial charge capacity because some of the lithium has been consumed by the formation of the SEI.
- the irreversible consumption of the available lithium reduces the capacity of the lithium-ion cell. This phenomenon is called irreversible capacity and is known to consume about 10% to 20% of the capacity of a conventional lithium ion cell. Thus, after the initial charge of a lithium-ion cell, the lithium-ion cell loses about 10% to 20% of its capacity.

- CO 2 passivated lithium metal powder can be used only in air with low moisture levels for a limited period of time before the lithium metal content decays because of the reaction of the lithium metal and air.

The method includes depositing lithium metal powder or thin lithium foil onto a carrier, contacting the carrier with a substrate having a higher affinity for the lithium metal powder as compared to the affinity of the carrier for the lithium metal powder, subjecting the substrate while in contact with the carrier to conditions sufficient to transfer the lithium metal powder or lithium foil deposited on the carrier to the substrate, and separating the carrier and substrate so as to maintain the lithium metal powder or lithium metal foil, deposited on the substrate.
Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/266,308, filed Dec. 3, 2009, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to a method of finely depositing lithium metal powder on a substrate. Such a finely deposited lithium metal powder may be used, for example, in forming an electrode for a primary or secondary battery.
- Lithium and lithium-ion secondary or rechargeable batteries have found use in certain applications such as in cellular phones, camcorders, and laptop computers, and even more recently, in larger power applications such as in electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. It is preferred in these applications that the secondary batteries have the highest specific capacity possible but still provide safe operating conditions and good cycleability so that the high specific capacity is maintained in subsequent recharging and discharging cycles.
- Although there are various constructions for secondary batteries, each construction includes a positive electrode (or cathode), a negative electrode (or anode), a separator that separates the cathode and anode, and an electrolyte in electrochemical communication with the cathode and anode. For secondary lithium batteries, lithium ions are transferred from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte when the secondary battery is being discharged, i.e., used for its specific application. During the discharge process, electrons are collected from the anode and pass to the cathode through an external circuit. When the secondary battery is being charged or recharged, the lithium ions are transferred from the cathode to the anode through the electrolyte.
- Historically, secondary lithium batteries were produced using non-lithiated compounds having high specific capacities such as TiS2, MoS2, MnO2 and V2O5, as the cathode active materials. These cathode active materials were coupled with a lithium metal anode. When the secondary battery was discharged, lithium ions were transferred from the lithium metal anode to the cathode through the electrolyte. Unfortunately, upon cycling, the lithium metal developed dendrites that ultimately caused unsafe conditions in the battery. As a result, the production of these types of secondary batteries was stopped in the early 1990's in favor of lithium-ion batteries.
- Lithium-ion batteries typically use lithium metal oxides such as LiCoO2 and LiNiO2 as cathode active materials coupled with a carbon-based anode. In these batteries, the lithium dendrite formation on the anode is avoided, thereby making the batteries safer. However, the lithium, the “usable” amount of which determines the battery capacity, is totally supplied from the cathode. This limits the choice of cathode active materials because the active materials must contain removable lithium. Also, delithiated products formed during charging and overcharging tend to be unstable. In particular, these delithiated products tend to react with the electrolyte and generate heat, which raises safety concerns.
- Furthermore, new lithium-ion cells or batteries are initially in a discharged state. During the first charge of lithium-ion cell, lithium moves from the cathode material, such as LiCoO2 or LiNiO2, to the anode material, such as graphite. A passivation film that forms on the anode is called a solid electrolyte interface or SEI. The SEI film is due to electrochemical reduction of species present in the electrolyte on the electrode surface. Upon subsequent discharge, the lithium consumed by the formation of the SEI is not returned to the cathode. This results in a lithium-ion cell having a smaller capacity compared to the initial charge capacity because some of the lithium has been consumed by the formation of the SEI. The irreversible consumption of the available lithium reduces the capacity of the lithium-ion cell. This phenomenon is called irreversible capacity and is known to consume about 10% to 20% of the capacity of a conventional lithium ion cell. Thus, after the initial charge of a lithium-ion cell, the lithium-ion cell loses about 10% to 20% of its capacity.
- One solution has been to use stabilized lithium metal powder (“SLMP®”) to pre-lithiate the anode. For example, lithium powder can be stabilized by passivating the metal powder surface with CO2 such as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,567,474, 5,776,369, and 5,976,403, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entireties by reference. The CO2 passivated lithium metal powder, however, can be used only in air with low moisture levels for a limited period of time before the lithium metal content decays because of the reaction of the lithium metal and air. Another solution is to apply a fluorinated coating to the lithium metal powder such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,588,623, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Another solution is providing a wax layer such as described in U.S. Publication No. 2009/0035663A1, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. There; however, remains a need for improved methods for applying the lithium metal powder to various substrates for forming the battery.
- The present invention provides a method of finely depositing lithium metal powder or thin lithium powder derived foil onto a substrate while avoiding the use of a solvent. The method comprises depositing lithium metal powder onto a carrier, contacting the carrier with a substrate having a higher affinity for the lithium metal powder as compared to the affinity of the carrier for the lithium metal powder, subjecting the substrate while in contact with the carrier to conditions sufficient to transfer the lithium metal powder deposited on the carrier to the substrate, and separating the carrier and substrate so as to maintain the lithium metal powder finely deposited on the substrate. Optionally, a thin lithium powder derived foil can be used in place of the lithium metal powder. A battery including a substrate formed using such a method is also provided.

- If a thin lithium powder derived lithium foil is used it will have a thickness of about 20 microns or less.
- The lithium metal powder is initially deposited onto a carrier.

In one embodiment, the surface of the carrier may include various additives to improve performance, reduce cost or to alter the affinity of the carrier for the lithium metal powder. The carrier may be in the form of a film, foil, mesh, or the like. The carrier often has a thickness of 10 microns to 200 microns.

- The substrate has a higher affinity for the lithium metal powder as compared to the affinity of the carrier for the lithium metal powder. Suitable substrates may include carbonaceous materials, Li4Ti5O12 and other lithium insertion material, Si, Sn, Cu, SiO, tin oxides, tin alloys, transition metal alloys, lithium metal nitrides, and lithium metal oxides, and mixtures, and composites thereof as well as Cu foils and other metal alloys. The substrate may be treated or contacted with an agent to promote affinity of the lithium metal powder for the substrate. Suitable affinity promoting agents include polymer binders such as ethylene vinyl acetate, styrene butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, and ethylene propylene diene monomer, natural waxes, such as 12-hydroxystearic acid, synthetic waxes such as low molecular weight polyethylene, petroleum waxes such as paraffin wax, and microcrystalline waxes.
- In operation, the carrier is typically pressed onto the substrate under pressure such as 100 to 20,000 psi. By using the affinity of the lithium metal powder, a discontinuous layer of the lithium metal powder is provided on the substrate. Additionally the lithium metal powder will be deformed during its deposition.
- The substrate may be in the form of a surface of an electrode. After the lithium metal powder is deposited, the carrier and substrate may be separated in a manner sufficient to maintain the lithium metal powder on the substrate.
- The substrate may be used in a wide variety of applications wherein the properties of the lithium metal powder are desired. For example, the substrate may be formed into an anode for a secondary battery such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,706,447, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. A typical secondary battery comprises a positive electrode or cathode, a negative electrode or anode, a separator for separating the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electrolyte in electrochemical communication with the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The secondary battery also includes a current collector that is in electrical contact with the cathode and a current collector that is in electrical contact with the anode. The current collectors are in electrical contact with one another through an external circuit. The secondary battery can have any construction known in the art such as a “jelly roll” or stacked construction.
- The cathode is formed of an active material, which is typically combined with a carbonaceous material and a binder polymer. The active material used in the cathode is preferably a material that can be lithiated at a useful voltage (e.g., 2.0 to 5.0 V versus lithium). Preferably, non-lithiated materials such as MnO2, V2O5, MoS2, metal fluorides or mixtures thereof, can be used as the active material, and more preferably, MnO2 is used. However, lithiated materials such as LiMn2O4 that can be further lithiated can also be used. The non-lithiated active materials are preferred because they generally have higher specific capacities, lower cost and broader choice than the lithiated active materials in this construction, and thus can provide increased power over secondary batteries that include lithiated active materials. Furthermore, because the anode includes lithium as discussed below, it is not necessary that the cathode include a lithiated material for the secondary battery to operate. The amount of active material provided in the cathode is preferably sufficient to accept the removable lithium metal present in the anode.
- The anode formed from such a substrate is capable of absorbing and desorbing lithium in an electrochemical system.
- Other potential uses of the substrate include current collector for primary batteries, high density polypropylene surfaces that could be used in fabricating of neutron detector parts.
- The following examples are merely illustrative of the invention, and are not limiting thereon.
