This invention relates to the field of battery technology, specifically to a composite negative
electrode current collector, its preparation method, and its application. The composite negative
electrode current collector of this invention includes a
polymer material layer, a
lithium replenishment layer, and a conductive
metal layer. The
lithium replenishment layer is located on at least one surface of the
polymer material layer, and the conductive
metal layer is located on the surface of the
lithium replenishment layer away from the
polymer material layer. The lithium replenishment layer includes a composite lithium material comprising a
lithium metal core and a
lithium compound coating layer covering the surface of the
lithium metal core. The conductive
metal layer has multiple through-hole structures. The composite negative
electrode current collector of this invention, through the coordination of its various layer structures, is beneficial for improving the storage performance of the negative electrode, reducing battery impedance, shortening the
electrolyte wetting time, enhancing lithium replenishment capacity, preventing the formation of lithium dendrites, and improving battery safety performance.
