Problems solved by technology

However, such a structural design has the following two defects: 1) The contact area between the rigid metal current collector and the active material particles is limited, and the interface resistance is large, which causes an increase in the internal resistance of the battery. There is a negative impact on the performance under discharge conditions; 2) The bond strength of the binder is limited. During the continuous charge and discharge process, it is easy to cause the expansion and separation between the active material and the current collector, which leads to a further increase in the internal resistance of the battery, making the The cycle life and safety performance of the battery are affected
However, due to the three-dimensional structure of graphite or carbon black, the contact between graphite or carbon black and copper foil constitutes a point contact, so that the formed conductive coating is not dense and easy to fall off, which affects the interface resistance and bonding strength to a certain extent. battery performance

Abstract

The invention provides a current collector and a preparation method thereof. The current collector comprises a current collector foil and at least one surface of the current collector foil is coated with coating layers containing graphene and a binder. The preparation method comprises the following steps of dispersing graphene and the binder in a solvent to obtain slurry, coating the slurry on at least one surface of the current collector foil and drying. Graphene of the coating layer has a two-dimensional sheet structure and thus the graphene forms a uniform and compact coating on the surface of the current collector foil so that a contact area of the graphene and the surface of the current collector is greatly improved; a conductive contact between an active material and the current collector is improved; the interface resistance of the current collector and the active material is effectively reduced; and internal resistance of a cell is reduced. Contact areas of graphene layers paved on the surface of the current collector and contact areas of the graphene layers and the current collector are large and thus interactional forces are strong; falling off is difficult; adhesive forces are strong; separation of the active material and the current collector is avoided in charging and discharging; and internal resistance reduction is promoted.
