Problems solved by technology

During the long-term cycle charging / discharging process, the electrode prepared based on the traditional electrode technology often pulverizes and falls off due to the insufficient combination between the active material and the current collector and reduces the cycle charge / discharge life of the electrode. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new electrode preparation process.
[0004] Cuprous chloride, as an important organic synthesis catalyst, has been widely used in petrochemical industry, metallurgical industry, pharmaceutical chemical industry and many other industries, but it has not been used as a lithium-ion battery electrode material.

Abstract

The invention discloses application of a CuCl / Cu composite material, and belongs to the development and research field of new energy source materials. The CuCl / Cu composite material is substantially obtained through depositing in situ a layer of water-insoluble cubic-crystal phase cuprous chloride active substance on the surface of a metal copper current collector through a one-step anodic oxidation method, and is then assembled with a lithium foil in a glove box filled with high pure argon gas to form a button type simulation lithium ion battery. The homologous substances, i.e. a copper current collector and cuprous chloride, are ingeniously and tightly combined together by an in-situ growth method; the specific surface area of the electrode material is large; the combination with the copper current collector is tight; and the contact resistance is favorably reduced. Compared with the traditional coating type electrode process, the process has the advantages that the operation is simple, environment-friendly and easy for amplification; more importantly, the falling phenomenon of the active substance in the long-period charging / discharging process is favorably relieved; and the rate discharging performance and charging / discharging cycle performance of the lithium ion battery are improved.
