Abstract: 本文讲述了使用涂膜机制备电极材料的几种方法。首先,三维碳材料与PVDF粘合剂按9:1的比例混合,制成浆料后涂布在铜箔上,经过真空干燥制备三维碳材料修饰集流体。再有就是通过在350°C条件下将金属锂浸入BiOx@CC中,制备自支撑Li/Li3Bi@CC电极。第三,使用g-C3N4/CC电极和金属锂片,组装电池并在1 mA/cm²电流密度下沉积锂,得到g-C3N4/Li/CC电极。第四,将COF-LZU1与PVDF混合制成浆料涂布在铜箔上或金属锂表面,制备COF-LZU1修饰电极。最后,将硫粉与carbon-72R混合制备S/C复合物,再与PVDF和Super P导电石墨混合,涂布在铝箔上得到正极材料,同时也制备了LCO和LFP正极。每种电极材料在涂膜机上涂布后,都经过真空干燥处理。

(1) Three-dimensional carbon material modified current collector 

Mix and grind the three-dimensional carbon material and PVDF binder at a mass ratio of 9:1, then add appropriate NMP to mix into a slurry, and apply the slurry evenly on the copper foil through a film coating machine, and vacuum at 60 °C After drying for 12 hours, take out the discs cut into corresponding diameters for later use. 

(2) Self-supporting Li/Li3Bi@CC electrode 

In the glove box, place lithium metal in a stainless steel container on a heating platform, raise the temperature to 350 °C, then place BiOx@CC on top of the molten lithium metal, and wait until the lithium metal is immersed in BiO x@ CC. Then cut Li/Li3Bi@CC into discs with corresponding diameters for future use.

(3) Interlayer metal lithium electrode 

Cut g-C3N 4/CC into discs with corresponding diameters as electrodes, metal lithium sheets as counter electrodes, and add separators and electrolytes to assemble batteries. Li was deposited at a current density of 1 mA cm-2 for 10 h to obtain a g- C3N4/Li/CC electrode with a lithium capacity of 10 mA h cm-2 . Then take it out and wash it with DOL and DME, and dry it for later use. 

(4) COF-LZU1 modified electrode 

Mix and grind COF-LZU1 and PVDF binder at a mass ratio of 9:1, then add appropriate NMP to mix into a slurry, apply the slurry evenly on the copper foil through a Film Applicator, and vacuum at 60 °C After drying for 12 hours, take out the discs cut into corresponding diameters for later use. Or mix COF-LZU1 with NMP and grind it into a slurry, and then directly  coat it on the surface of lithium metal, and use it directly after drying.

(5) Cathode material 

S/C complex: Dissolve 60 mg of sulfur powder into 5 mL of CS2, then add 40 mg of carbon-72R (carbot) into the CS2 solution and mix evenly. After the CS 2 evaporated, the mixture was placed in a quartz tube and vacuum-sealed. Then keep it warm at 155°C for 4 hours, and take it out after cooling to room temperature to form the S/C complex . Grind and mix the S/C composite, PVDF adhesive, and Super P conductive graphite at a mass ratio of 8:1:1, add an appropriate amount of NMP to mix into a slurry, and apply the slurry evenly on the aluminum foil through a Film Applicator. Vacuum dry at 60°C for 12 hours, take out the discs cut into corresponding diameters, and weigh them for later use. LCO, LFP positive electrode: Grind and mix the active material, PVDF binder, and Super P conductive graphite at a mass add an appropriate amount of NMP to mix into a slurry, and apply the slurry evenly on the On aluminum foil, vacuum-dry at 60 °C for 12 hours, take out the discs cut into corresponding diameters, and weigh them for later use.
