This method and the lithium-ion battery negative electrode prepared thereof have the following disadvantages: (1) the method needs to prepare nanoporous copper first, then coordinate the binder and solvent to prepare the slurry and coat it on the foamed nickel current collector, then dry and heat Oxidation forms a cuprous oxide film on the pore wall of nanoporous copper, and the operation steps are many, and the production process is cumbersome; (2) due to the use of a binder in the process of preparing the negative electrode of the lithium-ion battery, the binder itself is not conductive and cannot contribute (3) The structure of the negative electrode is complex, the cuprous oxide film is located on the pore wall of the nanoporous copper, and the nanoporous copper is bonded to the surface of the foamed nickel, and the electrons are conducted to the surface of the current collector. The path is long, coupled with the hindrance of the binder, this structure will seriously hinder the electron conduction, resulting in a decrease in the cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery; (4) cuprous oxide covers the hole wall of nanoporous copper in the form of a film, which The specific surface area of ​​cuprous oxide with this structure is relatively small, so that the conductivity of cuprous oxide as a semiconductor cannot be effectively improved, which is also not conducive to electron conduction, and the hindered electron conduction will lead to poor cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries.
