The present invention provides a flexible, wrinkled, stretchable
metal current collector and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of
energy storage batteries. The flexible, wrinkled, stretchable
metal current collector of the present invention comprises a flexible substrate layer, a semi-solidified PDMS layer and a
metal layer arranged in sequence from bottom to top, and the preparation method comprises
cutting the flexible
polymer substrate into a disc shape, spin-
coating the PDMS glue onto one side of the disc-shaped flexible
polymer substrate, and depositing a
metal particle target material on the surface of the semi-solidified PDMS layer after
drying to form a metal layer. The flexible, wrinkled, stretchable metal
current collector of the present invention adheres a metal layer to the upper surface of the semi-solidified PDMS layer, and the ultra-
thin metal layer is tightly adhered to the surface of the soft semi-solidified PDMS layer, and utilizes its good flexibility and stretchability to release the stress accumulated by
lithium during the
charge and discharge cycle
deposition process, thereby making
lithium deposited uniformly, thereby inhibiting the formation of
lithium dendrites, and further improving the coulombic efficiency and cycle life of the battery.
