Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of functional current collectors, and in particular to a functional current collector with improved rate performance and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A functional current collector is a composite material that combines traditional metal current collectors (such as copper foil and aluminum foil) with specialized features such as enhanced safety and conductivity. Existing current collectors typically utilize a sandwich structure consisting of a metal conductive layer, a polymer matrix, and a metal conductive layer. The polymer layer possesses insulating and flame-retardant properties. When a battery is punctured or impacted, the polymer matrix quickly melts, creating a "point break," blocking the current flow and preventing the spread of thermal runaway, thus avoiding the short-circuit issues often associated with traditional current collectors due to metal burrs. Furthermore, their weight is 50% to 80% lower than pure metal current collectors, and their thickness is 25% to 40% lower than comparable pure metal current collectors. This frees up more space within the battery for active materials. With this reduced weight and increased active material content, energy density increases by 5% to 10%.
[0003] Functional current collectors are usually composed of multiple layers of materials, and the interface contact between different layers may not be tight enough. During the charge and discharge process, especially at high rates, lithium ions are frequently inserted and removed, and the volume changes greatly. If the interface bonding is not strong, it may cause delamination or poor contact, increase the interface resistance, and thus affect the transmission efficiency of ions and electrons. At the same time, the middle polymer layer itself is not conductive and has poor thermal conductivity (PET film has a thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.15~0.24 W / m·K), which makes its high-rate charge and discharge performance far worse than that of traditional current collectors. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for preparing a functional current collector with improved rate performance to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a functional current collector with improved rate performance, so as to solve the problems raised in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A functional current collector with high rate performance comprises the following structures from bottom to top: a polymer layer, an aluminum oxide layer, and a metal aluminum layer.
[0006] Furthermore, the polymer layer is any one of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and PP (polypropylene).
[0007] Furthermore, the polymer layer includes PET raw material and modified nanocellulose.
[0008] A method for preparing a functional current collector with improved rate performance comprises the following steps: S1: Take PET raw material, heat it to the melting stage, then add modified nanocellulose and stir to obtain a composite slurry; S2: injecting the composite slurry into a preset mold, shaping, cutting, thickness measuring, corona treatment, forming a polymer layer, and obtaining a prefabricated functional current collector; S3: vacuum evaporating the prefabricated functional current collector to deposit aluminum oxide to form an aluminum oxide layer, thereby obtaining an aluminum oxide functional current collector; S4: Vacuum-evaporating the aluminum oxide functional current collector to deposit metal aluminum to form a metal aluminum layer, thereby obtaining a functional current collector with high rate performance.
[0009] In the above technical solution, the modified nanocellulose has a high specific surface area and strength. Adding modified nanocellulose can enhance mechanical properties, improve electrical conductivity and conductivity; it helps to form a more stable bonding interface with the subsequently evaporated alumina layer; after adding the modified nanocellulose, stir evenly to avoid uneven performance caused by agglomeration; corona treatment is performed before vacuum evaporation, and the roughness and polarity of the PET film surface are increased by high-voltage discharge, which significantly improves the adhesion of the alumina layer during subsequent vacuum evaporation, eliminates surface stress and avoids the generation of surface microcracks, and improves the overall quality of the film; vacuum evaporates alumina, and alumina acts as a dense ceramic layer to isolate the PET matrix from moisture, oxygen and electrolyte corrosion, thereby extending the life of the current collector; alumina is an insulating material that can provide an electronic insulation barrier, prevent short circuits, and maintain chemical stability under high temperature and high pressure environments; adding alumina can Enhance the hardness and wear resistance of the film. The surface of polymer materials is usually non-polar and inert, and its chemical properties are very different from those of metallic aluminum. It is difficult for aluminum atoms to form a strong physical anchor with the polymer during direct vapor deposition. It is easy to cause delamination or peeling due to thermal stress and mechanical friction during long-term use. Aluminum oxide is used as a primer. Aluminum oxide serves as an intermediate layer. The hydroxyl groups (-OH) on its surface can form hydrogen bonds with the polar groups (-COOH) in the polymer material. The lattice constant of the aluminum oxide layer is similar to that of aluminum. The surface can intervene between the polymer material and metallic aluminum, and as a transition layer, it optimizes the wettability between the two, optimizes the interface for the subsequent vapor-deposited aluminum layer, and reduces the risk of delamination. Metallic aluminum is an excellent conductor, which significantly reduces the current collector resistance and meets the needs of high-rate charging and discharging. The low density of aluminum can reduce the weight of the battery and increase the energy density. Aluminum forms a passivation film in the electrolyte to further protect the current collector.
[0010] PET provides flexibility and matrix support, the alumina layer provides protection and insulation, and the aluminum layer realizes conductivity. The "flexible-protective-conductive" composite system balances mechanical strength, conductivity, corrosion resistance and lightweight performance to meet the application requirements of high-rate lithium-ion batteries or supercapacitors.

[0016] Furthermore, the preparation process of the modified nanocellulose comprises the following steps: The nanocellulose is mixed with an ethanol solution, dispersed, a silane coupling agent is added, heated for reaction, and finally washed with an ethanol solution and dried to obtain modified nanocellulose.
[0017] In the above technical solution, the surface of nanocellulose is modified by benzene ring modification, and conjugated groups are introduced by reacting a silane coupling agent containing a conjugated structure with the cellulose hydroxyl group. The modified nanocellulose is then added during the melting stage of the base film. The nanocellulose penetrates the base film in the transverse (TD) direction and has good electrical and thermal conductivity.
[0018] Furthermore, the ethanol solution is a mixed solution of ethanol and water with a volume ratio of (18~19):1.

[0023] Furthermore, the drying process conditions are: drying at a temperature of 60-70° C. for 1-2 hours.
[0024] Furthermore, the diameter of nanocellulose is 2~100nm.
[0025] Furthermore, the PET raw material is compounded with modified nano-kaolin and modified carbon nanospheres to obtain a composite PET material.
[0026] Further, the composite PET material is prepared by the following steps: Step 1: Take nano-kaolin, wash it with deionized water at a temperature of 45-60°C for 10-20 minutes, and dry it at 100-105°C for 1-2 hours to obtain pretreated nano-kaolin; Step 2: Mix the pretreated nano-kaolin, aluminum titanate coupling agent and ethanol solution, grind and disperse them, heat to react, centrifuge and dry them, and crush them to obtain modified nano-kaolin.

[0028] In the above technical solution, the aluminum titanate coupling agent acts as a bridge molecule, one end of which is combined with the hydroxyl group on the surface of nano-kaolin, and the other end interacts with the polymer chain of PET. By coupling the modified nano-kaolin, the agglomeration of nano-kaolin is reduced, the dispersion uniformity is improved, and the interfacial bonding force between the inorganic filler and the organic matrix is significantly improved. The addition of modified nano-kaolin can improve the tensile strength, bending modulus and other mechanical properties of the PET matrix. At the same time, the lamellar structure of nano-kaolin forms a physical barrier in the PET matrix, delaying the diffusion of heat and oxygen into the interior of the material, inhibiting thermal decomposition reactions, and enhancing the thermal stability of the PET material. The addition of modified carbon nanospheres can promote the formation of more carbides in the PET material during combustion, and can catalyze dehydration and polymerization reactions on the surface of the PET material to form a dense carbon layer. This carbon layer has good heat insulation and oxygen isolation properties, which can prevent the further spread of flames and slow down the overflow of volatile products formed by polymer decomposition, thereby enhancing the flame retardancy of the material; the modified carbon nanospheres are compounded with modified nano-kaolin, and through the interaction of physical barrier and chemical carbonization, a synergistic flame retardant effect is produced, which significantly improves the thermal stability of PET composite materials.

[0069] Performance comparison table
[0070] According to the data in the above table, we can clearly draw the following conclusions: The functional current collectors with high rate performance obtained in Examples 1-7 were compared with the functional current collectors obtained in Comparative Examples 1-2. The test results show that: By introducing conjugated modified nanocellulose into the original PET base film, its high tensile strength improves the tensile strength of the high-rate functional current collector. However, due to its inherently low elongation (2-10%), the overall elongation of the functional current collector decreases. As the addition amount increases, although the tensile strength is significantly improved, the low elongation affects its use in the battery terminal. Therefore, compared with Examples 1-7, Example 2 still maintains excellent tensile strength and conductivity while meeting the MD (>20%) and TD (>10%) elongation requirements. The introduction of conjugated groups enhances the electron transfer effect and increases the conductivity. At the same time, the nanocellulose increases the thermal conductivity of the base film, greatly improving the high-rate performance of the functional current collector.
[0071] Compared with Examples 1-7, the functional current collector obtained in Comparative Example 1 does not add modified nanocellulose, and has lower tensile strength, higher elongation, low electrical conductivity, and low thermal conductivity. It can be seen that the functional current collector prepared without adding modified nanocellulose has low tensile strength, is prone to large plastic deformation under stress, has poor electrical conductivity, poor thermal conductivity, and poor stability, and cannot meet the requirements of high-rate performance.
[0072] Compared with Example 7, the functional current collector obtained in Comparative Example 2 does not contain modified nano-kaolin, and has lower tensile strength, higher elongation, lower electrical conductivity, and lower thermal conductivity. It can be seen that the addition of modified nano-kaolin is beneficial to enhancing mechanical properties and improving thermal stability, improving the barrier properties of the functional current collector, and reducing the contact resistance of the functional current collector interface, thereby improving the charge and discharge rate and power density.
[0073] Compared with Example 7, the functional current collector obtained in Comparative Example 3 does not add modified carbon nanospheres, and has lower tensile strength, higher elongation, lower electrical conductivity, and lower thermal conductivity. It can be seen that the addition of modified carbon nanospheres reduces the contact resistance of the functional current collector interface, thereby improving the charge and discharge rate and power density.
