Abstract:

In order to solve the inherent volume expansion problem of current lithium-ion battery anode materials, gallium tin (GaSn) alloy that was liquid at room temperature was used as the lithium-ion battery anode material. The liquid GaSn alloy was bound inside the nanofibers and the network structure of nanofibers by electrospinning, and then assembled into lithium-ion batteries. The structure and performance of the batteries were characterized and analyzed. The results show that the liquid GaSn alloy can be evenly dispersed in the carbon nanofibers, and at the same time, the GaSn alloy forms small liquid droplets due to ultrasonic cavitation, which are gradually fixed into large droplets due to fluidity and high surface tension during the cycle. It is conducive to better display of the self-healing properties of the electrode material, and it can effectively repair the cracks generated during the battery cycle. After 100 cycles of charging and discharging test, the capacity retention rate of the battery reaches 94.8%.

Key words: liquid alloy, self-repair, lithium-ion battery, anode material, electrochemical property, electrospinning
