[0081] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0082] The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings, and "multiple" generally includes at least two.

[0083] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0084] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe in the present disclosure, these should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first may also be referred to as the second, and similarly, the second may also be referred to as the first.

[0085] It should also be noted that the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a product or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such product or device. In the absence of more restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprises a" do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or device including the elements.

[0086] In the related art, lithium batteries usually include positive and negative electrodes, and the positive and negative electrodes are stacked in multiple layers or wound in positive and negative electrodes to realize battery cells of different capacities. The positive electrode usually includes a positive current collector and a positive active material coated on both sides of the positive current collector. Lithium-ion batteries generally use aluminum as the positive current collector metal material and copper as the negative current collector metal material. This is because the oxidation potential of metal aluminum is high, and the size of the lattice octahedral voids of metal aluminum is similar to that of lithium, making it very easy for metal aluminum to react with lithium to form alloys such as LiAl, Li3Al2, and Li4Al3, which not only consumes a large amount of Li+, but also destroys the structure and morphology of metal aluminum itself. Therefore, aluminum can be used as a current collector for the positive electrode of lithium-ion batteries, but not as a current collector for the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries. Cu has only a small lithium insertion capacity during the battery charging and discharging process, and maintains the stability of the structure and electrochemical properties, so it can be used as a current collector for the negative electrode of ion batteries.

[0087] In traditional lithium-ion batteries, aluminum foil is used as the positive electrode current collector metal material, and copper foil is used as the negative electrode current collector metal material. On the one hand, copper resources are wasted. On the other hand, due to the thick thickness of the copper foil, the overall size of the lithium battery is larger, and the surface of the copper foil is easily corroded, which increases the internal resistance of the battery.

[0088] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a composite current collector for lithium batteries, comprising: a substrate; a plurality of first linear conductive structures, the plurality of first linear conductive structures extending along the surface of the substrate in parallel and at a preset interval; a first coating layer continuously wrapped around a side of the plurality of first linear conductive structures away from the substrate and a side surface of each of the first linear conductive structures, so that the first coating layer overlaps with the substrate in an orthographic projection of the substrate; a plurality of second linear conductive structures, the plurality of second linear conductive structures extending along the surface of the substrate in parallel and at the preset interval; a second coating layer continuously wrapped around a side of the plurality of second linear conductive structures away from the substrate and a side surface of each of the second linear conductive structures, so that the second coating layer overlaps with the substrate in an orthographic projection of the substrate; wherein the plurality of first linear conductive structures and the plurality of second linear conductive structures are symmetrically arranged relative to the substrate.

[0089] The optional embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0090] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of a composite current collector provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure cut along line N;

[0091] Figure 2A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the other side of a composite current collector provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure; specifically, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a negative electrode composite current collector 100 for a lithium battery, the negative electrode composite current collector 100 comprising: a substrate 1; a first conductive layer 2 formed by a plurality of first linear conductive structures, the first conductive layer 2 being disposed on one side of the substrate 1, the first conductive layer 2 comprising a plurality of discrete first linear conductive structures; a first bonding layer 8, the first bonding layer 8 being disposed between the first conductive layer 2 and the substrate 1, and configured to bond the first conductive layer 2 and the substrate 1; a first coating layer 30, continuously wrapped around a side of the plurality of first linear conductive structures away from the substrate 1 and a side surface of each of the first linear conductive structures, so that the first coating layer 30 overlaps with the substrate in its orthographic projection on the substrate 1; a second conductive layer 3 formed by a plurality of second linear conductive structures, the second conductive layer 3 being disposed on a side of the substrate 1 away from the first conductive layer 2, the second conductive layer 3 includes a plurality of discrete second linear conductive structures; a second bonding layer 9, which is arranged between the second conductive layer 3 and the substrate 1 and configured to bond the second conductive layer 3 and the substrate 1; a second cladding layer 20, which continuously wraps around the side of the plurality of second linear conductive structures away from the substrate 1 and the side of each of the second linear conductive structures, so that the second cladding layer 20 overlaps with the substrate in the positive projection of the substrate 1; wherein the plurality of discrete first linear conductive structures and the plurality of discrete second linear conductive structures are symmetrically arranged relative to the substrate 1, so that when cutting along a direction perpendicular to the substrate surface and along the gaps between the plurality of discrete first linear conductive structures or the plurality of discrete second linear conductive structures, the first linear conductive structure or the second linear conductive structure may not be cut, so that the first linear conductive structure or the second linear conductive structure can still be wrapped by the first cladding layer 30 or the second cladding layer 20 without being exposed, thereby avoiding corrosion of the end.

[0092] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the first conductive layer 2 includes a plurality of discrete first linear conductive structures, the second conductive layer 3 includes a plurality of discrete second linear conductive structures, the first linear conductive structure and the second linear conductive structure are respectively wrapped by the first coating layer 30 and the second coating layer 20, when a small area of ​​the negative electrode composite current collector 100 is cut out from a large area of ​​the negative electrode composite current collector 100, for example, when the negative electrode composite current collector 100 is used for the assembly of the lithium battery, it can be cut out along the first coating layer 30 and the second coating layer 20. Figure 2The M-line cutting is used, so that the ends of the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3 will not be exposed, and the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3 will not be oxidized or corroded due to exposure to the air. Among them, the first linear conductive structure and the second linear conductive structure can be straight-line or curved structures. As long as they are discretely and roughly arranged in parallel along the surface of the substrate 1, the problem of exposed ends due to cutting can be solved. The multiple discrete first linear conductive structures and the multiple discrete second linear conductive structures are symmetrically arranged relative to the substrate to ensure that when cutting, they can be cut from the groove on one side (without conductive layer) to the corresponding groove on the other side (without conductive layer), and avoid cutting the conductive layer to expose it. The linear conductive structure can be a regular rectangular parallelepiped structure or an irregular long strip structure. Its cross-section can be any structure such as a rectangle, square, ellipse, polygon, triangle, arc, etc., which will not be elaborated.

[0093] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the orthographic projection of the first cladding layer 30 on the substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the first conductive layer 2 on the substrate 1; and the orthographic projection of the second cladding layer 20 on the substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the second conductive layer 3 on the substrate 1. The projections of the first linear conductive structure and the second linear conductive structure on the substrate 1 are roughly overlapped, so that it can be ensured that as long as cutting is carried out between the linear conductive structures, the ends of the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3 will not be exposed.

[0094] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the orthographic projection of the first bonding layer 8 on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first conductive layer 2 on the substrate 1; and the orthographic projection of the second bonding layer 9 on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second conductive layer 3 on the substrate 1, so as to ensure that the first conductive layer 2 is completely bonded to the substrate 1, and the second conductive layer 3 is completely bonded to the substrate 1. In the formation process, for example, a mask can be set to deposit bonding materials in the mask gap by magnetron sputtering, ion plating, vacuum evaporation or in-situ reaction, and then a conductive layer is deposited, so as to form a structure in which the conductive layer and the bonding layer are stacked, so that the conductive layer can be stably bonded to the substrate through the bonding layer.

[0095] In some other embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the first bonding layer 8 overlaps with the substrate 1 in the orthographic projection of the substrate 1; and the second bonding layer 9 overlaps with the substrate 1 in the orthographic projection of the substrate 1, and then a first conductive layer 2 is formed on the first bonding layer 8, and a second conductive layer 3 is formed on the second bonding layer 9 to ensure that the first conductive layer 2 is completely bonded to the substrate 1, and the second conductive layer 3 is completely bonded to the substrate 1. In the formation process, for example, the bonding material can be deposited on both sides of the substrate 1 by magnetron sputtering, ion plating, vacuum evaporation or in-situ reaction, and then a conductive layer is deposited in the mask gap by magnetron sputtering, ion plating, vacuum evaporation or in-situ reaction by setting a mask, so as to form a structure in which the conductive layer and the bonding layer are stacked, so that the conductive layer can be stably bonded to the substrate through the bonding layer.

[0096] In some embodiments, the substrate 1 is selected from at least one of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, polyterephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide), polyimide, polyamide, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl chloride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyoxymethylene, epoxy resin and phenolic resin. Compared with the traditional copper foil layer, the substrate is lighter and can be set thinner, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the lithium battery and improving the performance of the lithium battery.

[0097] In some embodiments, the tensile strength of the material of the substrate 1 is ≥150MPa, preferably 150-400MPa; the substrate 1 is used to support the entire negative electrode composite current collector. During the deposition process of the negative electrode composite current collector, the coating roller pressing process requires the support of a high tensile strength substrate to prevent the roll from breaking and deforming. Therefore, when the tensile strength is <150Mpa, it cannot meet the supporting function during the coating roller pressing process, and roll breaking and deformation are likely to occur. The thermal shrinkage rate of the material of the substrate 1 after being treated at 150°C for 30 minutes is ≤3%. If the thermal shrinkage rate of the substrate 1 is too large, it will also cause the negative electrode composite current collector to break and deform. Therefore, after experimental verification, the thermal shrinkage rate of the material of the substrate 1 after being treated at 150°C for 30 minutes should be less than or equal to 3% to meet the negative electrode composite current collector production process; the thickness of the substrate 1 is 1-15μm, preferably 1-10μm. If the substrate 1 is too thick, the volume of the negative electrode composite current collector and the internal resistance of the lithium battery will be increased. Therefore, the substrate 1 with the thickness in the above range is selected in the present disclosure. The substrate 1 has the characteristics of light weight, good ductility, high tensile strength, and low thermal shrinkage rate, which can effectively reduce the volume and weight of the lithium battery. Moreover, due to the presence of the substrate 1, even if the conductive layer is broken down, it will not form a short circuit of the battery, thereby improving the safety of the battery.

[0098] In some embodiments, the material of the first conductive layer 2 and / or the second conductive layer 3 is selected from at least one of the following: selected from a single metal with a purity of ≥98wt%: aluminum, copper, nickel, iron, titanium, silver, gold, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum or tungsten; preferably one of aluminum, copper, nickel, iron, titanium, silver, gold, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum and tungsten with a purity of 99-100wt%; or; selected from an alloy, wherein the metal in the alloy is selected from at least one of aluminum, copper, nickel, iron, titanium, silver, gold, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, magnesium and zinc, and / or the non-metal in the alloy is selected from silicon and / or carbon. Preferably, the alloy is selected from at least one of aluminum-copper alloy, aluminum-manganese alloy, aluminum-silicon alloy, aluminum-magnesium alloy, aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy and aluminum-zinc alloy. The higher the purity of the conductive layer material, the better the conductivity, which is more conducive to enhancing the conductive efficiency.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first conductive layer 2 and / or the second conductive layer 3 are most preferably made of aluminum, which has the characteristics of good conductivity, light weight, low price, good flexibility, etc. Therefore, in this embodiment, aluminum is preferably used as the conductive material when preparing the first conductive layer 2 and / or the second conductive layer 3. Aluminum is selected as the material of the first conductive layer 2 and / or the second conductive layer 3, and an aluminum layer is deposited on the substrate 1 by PVD, which enhances the conductivity, and the aluminum layer is wrapped between the substrate and the coating layer, which overcomes the defect that aluminum cannot be used as a negative electrode in traditional lithium batteries, further reduces the thickness of the negative electrode without weakening the conductive performance of the negative electrode.

[0100] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first conductive layer 2 and / or the second conductive layer 3 is 0.1-2 μm, respectively; preferably 0.2-1.5 μm; vacuum equipment can achieve vacuum deposition at the micron level. The thicker the metal conductive layer, the lower the resistance. However, the thickening of the metal layer increases the difficulty of the process feasibility. In the experiment disclosed in this disclosure, a film of 800 nanometers to 2000 nm can be formed at one time. Through the optimization of process parameters, the resistivity of the metal film in the thickness range of 800 to 1500 nm is relatively stable. For the directional movement of free electrons in the conductive layer, as long as it is a continuous film (thickness ≥ 30 nm), a stable conductive effect can be formed. However, if the conductive layer is too thin, due to the excessive size effect of the metal film, the resistivity will be very high, affecting the internal resistance of the battery cell. Therefore, after experiments, the present disclosure selects a conductive layer with a thickness of more than 200 nm.

[0101] In some embodiments, the bonding force between the first conductive layer 2 and / or the second conductive layer 3 and the substrate 1 is ≥0.5N / 15mm to avoid the first conductive layer 2 and / or the second conductive layer 3 being peeled off from the substrate 1 during curling or application, thereby affecting conductivity.

[0102] In some embodiments, the resistivity of the first conductive layer 2 and / or the second conductive layer 3 is ≤8 μΩ·cm.

[0103] Due to the different inherent properties of the materials between the substrate and the metal conductive layer, the interface bonding is not strong, because there is only van der Waals force between the two, and there is no chemical bond. Therefore, the desired composite current collector structure is a composite structure with high conductivity and high bonding strength. The greater the bonding force, the better, ≥0.5N / 15mm, with no upper limit. The resistivity of the bulk metal material ≤ the resistivity of the composite current collector ≤8uΩ·cm.

[0104] In some embodiments, the first coating layer 30 includes: a first isolation layer 4, which is disposed on the side of the first conductive layer 2 away from the substrate 1, a first intermediate layer 6, which is disposed on the side of the first isolation layer 4 close to the first conductive layer 2, and the first intermediate layer 6 is configured to prevent diffusion between the first isolation layer 4 and the first conductive layer 2; and the second coating layer 20 includes: a second isolation layer 5, which is disposed on the side of the second conductive layer 3 away from the substrate 1, a second intermediate layer 7, which is disposed on the side of the second isolation layer 5 close to the second conductive layer 3, and the second intermediate layer 7 is configured to prevent diffusion between the second isolation layer 5 and the second conductive layer 3. The first coating layer 30 and the second coating layer 20 completely wrap the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3, making aluminum a feasible solution as a negative electrode, and due to the discrete structural design and the wrapping coating layer, the problem of exposing the end of the aluminum layer due to cutting when making a lithium battery is overcome.

[0105] In some embodiments, the material of the first isolation layer 4 and / or the second isolation layer 5 is selected from at least one of the following: selected from a single metal with a purity ≥98wt%: aluminum, copper, nickel, iron, titanium, silver, gold, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum or tungsten; preferably one of aluminum, copper, nickel, iron, titanium, silver, gold, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum and tungsten with a purity of 99-100wt%; or; selected from an alloy, wherein the metal in the alloy is selected from at least one of aluminum, copper, nickel, iron, titanium, silver, gold, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum and tungsten; further preferably, the alloy is selected from at least one of copper-aluminum alloy, copper-nickel alloy, copper-zinc alloy and copper-tin alloy.

[0106] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first isolation layer 4 and the second isolation layer 5 are respectively 1-1500nm, preferably 30-1000nm; compared with the traditional copper foil negative electrode, the first isolation layer 4 and the second isolation layer 5 can be deposited with a thinner copper layer by PVD, saving copper materials and reducing the overall thickness of the negative electrode sheet.

[0107] In some embodiments, the bonding force between the first isolation layer 4 and the first conductive layer 2 and / or the bonding force between the second isolation layer 5 and the second conductive layer 3 is ≥ 0.5N / 15mm. The strong bonding force prevents the first isolation layer 4 from peeling off from the first conductive layer 2 or the second isolation layer 5 from peeling off from the second conductive layer 3 during curling or application, thereby affecting the conductivity.

[0108] The function of the isolation layer is to prevent the exposure of the Al in the conductive layer. This operation can be achieved as long as the isolation layer is a continuous and dense film (for example, a thickness ≥ 30nm). Another function of the isolation layer is conductivity. However, if the isolation layer is too thin (tens of nanometers), it will diffuse with the conductive layer in a short period of time (a few days or weeks), exposing Al and losing the original function of the isolation layer. If the isolation layer is too thick, it will increase the process cost, material utilization efficiency, etc. Therefore, the isolation layer can be set between 1 and 1500nm, preferably 30-1000nm.

[0109] The conductive layer and the isolation layer will have a weak interface bonding phenomenon, because there is only van der Waals force between the two, and there is no chemical bond. In addition, an aluminum oxide film will naturally form on the aluminum surface of the conductive layer, resulting in a low bonding strength between Cu and Al. If CuAl is delaminated due to low bonding strength during the use of the battery, it will lose its conductive function. Therefore, it is hoped that the bonding strength between the two is ≥0.5N / 15mm.

[0110] Since aluminum is used as the conductive layer and the aluminum composite current collector is used as the negative electrode, it will undergo an alloying reaction with metallic lithium, resulting in failure of the conductive performance. Therefore, an isolation layer (Cu) is provided on the aluminum layer to form an aluminum-copper coating layer. This can isolate the alloying reaction between Li-Al without reducing the conductivity, thereby improving the stability of the lithium battery.

[0111] In some embodiments, when Al as a conductive layer and Cu as an isolation layer are both at the negative electrode, Al-Cu interdiffusion and galvanic corrosion may occur under the action of the electrolyte. Designing an intermediate layer between Al and Cu can prevent or slow down the interdiffusion and corrosion between Al and Cu, and at the same time can also play a conductive role and enhance the bonding force between aluminum and copper. Specifically, the material of the first intermediate layer 6 and / or the second intermediate layer 7 is selected from at least one of the following: a single metal, an alloy, an oxide semiconductor or a conductive compound.

[0112] In some embodiments, the material of the first intermediate layer 6 and / or the second intermediate layer 7 is selected from at least one of the following: the single metal is selected from one of Cu, Cr, Ta, Zn, Cd, In, Tl, Mn, Co, Mo, Fe, Sn, Ge, Bi, Sb, Re, Ti, V, Ni, Nb and Tc; the metal in the alloy is selected from at least one of Cu, Cr, Ta, Zn, Cd, In, Tl, Mn, Co, Mo, Fe, Sn, Ge, Bi, Sb, Re, Ti, V, Ni, Nb and Tc A method of manufacturing a semiconductor material comprising: the oxide semiconductor being selected from at least one of Cu2O, ZnO, SnO2, Fe2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, Co2O3, WO3, In2O3, Al2O3 and Fe3O4; and the conductive compound being selected from at least one of TiB2, TiC, TiN, ZrB2, ZrC, ZrN, VB2, VC, VN, NbB2, NbC, NbN, TaB2, TaC, CrB2, Cr3C2, CrN, Mo2C, Mo2B5, W2B5, WC and LaB6. Preferably, the first intermediate layer 6 and / or the second intermediate layer 7 are respectively selected from at least one of nickel, nickel-based alloy, copper-based alloy and titanium nitride, preferably titanium nitride.

[0113] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first intermediate layer 6 and / or the second intermediate layer 7 is 1-1000nm, preferably 5-500nm. The intermediate layer plays the role of conducting electricity, enhancing the bonding strength between CuAl, and preventing the mutual diffusion of the two. Generally, it will be thinner. As long as it plays the above role, it is as thin as possible to save raw materials and costs. Generally, the film will be 1-1000nm, preferably 5nm-100nm or 5nm-500nm.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first isolation layer 4 and the second isolation layer 5 are made of the same material, the first conductive layer 2 and the second conductive layer 3 are made of the same material; the first intermediate layer 6 and the second intermediate layer 7 are made of the same material; the first isolation layer 4, the first conductive layer 2, and the first intermediate layer 6 are made of different materials. In some embodiments, the material of the first conductive layer 2 and / or the second conductive layer 3 includes Al, and the material of the first isolation layer 4 and / or the second isolation layer 5 includes Cu.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first coating layer 30 further includes a first anti-oxidation layer 10, which is disposed on the side of the first isolation layer 4 away from the substrate 1; and the second coating layer 20 further includes a second anti-oxidation layer 11, which is disposed on the side of the second isolation layer 5 away from the substrate 1. For example, the isolation layer, such as Cu, will undergo oxidation discoloration during the coating and baking process of the electrode, and a reasonably designed anti-oxidation protective layer on Cu can prevent its oxidation discoloration.

[0116] In some embodiments, the first anti-oxidation layer 10, the first isolation layer 4 and the first intermediate layer 6 overlap in the orthographic projection of the substrate 1; and the second anti-oxidation layer 9, the second isolation layer 5 and the second intermediate layer 7 overlap in the orthographic projection of the substrate 1. Thus, the anti-oxidation layer can completely cover the isolation layer and the intermediate layer, thereby improving the anti-oxidation performance of the negative electrode composite current collector.

[0117] In some embodiments, the first anti-oxidation layer 10 and / or the second anti-oxidation layer 11 can be a PVD metal anti-oxidation layer, and the material of the metal anti-oxidation layer is selected from at least one of the following: a single metal or an alloy or a metal compound; wherein the single metal is selected from at least one of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni; the alloy is at least one of a nickel-based alloy and a copper-based alloy; the metal compound is at least one of TiB2, TiC, TiN, ZrB2, ZrC, ZrN, VB2, VC, VN, NbB2, NbC, NbN, TaB2, TaC, CrB2, Cr3C2, CrN, Mo2C, Mo2B5, W2B5, WC, and LaB6.

[0118] The PVD anti-oxidation layer is a metal or alloy layer of the above-mentioned material vacuum deposited on the surface of the first isolation layer and / or the second isolation layer. The deposition method can be at least one of vacuum deposition such as vacuum sputtering, vacuum ion plating, vacuum evaporation, etc. The deposition thickness is 1nm-100nm. The function of the anti-oxidation layer is to inhibit oxidative discoloration in a nutrient-rich high-temperature environment. If it is obtained in the form of PVD, it needs to be deposited in an oxygen-rich high-temperature environment. The minimum thickness that does not discolor is generally set to 1nm-100nm, preferably 3nm-50nm. The anti-oxidation layer must meet the requirements of a vacuum oven of 100-150°C for 5-30min. During this process, the current collector does not undergo oxidative discoloration, and compared with the negative electrode current collector without an anti-oxidation layer, the anti-oxidation layer does not additionally reduce the conductivity of the negative electrode current collector.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first anti-oxidation layer 10 and / or the second anti-oxidation layer 11 may be a passivation layer, and the passivation layer is selected from at least one of the following passivation solutions: a chromium-containing passivation solution, a chromium-free passivation solution, or an organic passivation solution.

[0120] The method for forming a passivation layer includes spraying and / or soaking the above passivation liquid, and then rolling and drying the passivation layer. The spraying or soaking time is 1-60s, and the drying temperature is 50-120°C, until there is no solvent residue on the surface. There is no thickness requirement for the anti-oxidation layer of the passivation liquid type. The anti-oxidation layer of the passivation liquid type needs to be dried to obtain a uniform and dense anti-oxidation layer. Due to the difference in the type of reagents, the reaction film formation time is slightly different. For example, the time period of 1-60s can cover the reaction film formation time of the passivation liquid. The drying is determined according to the curing temperature of the reaction film of different passivation liquids.

[0121] The organic passivator can be modified benzotriazole, and its preparation method is as follows: prepare a composite solution of 0.5mmol / L BTA and 0.5mmol / L MBT, stir magnetically until completely dissolved, apply it on the copper current collector base film with a coater, dry it in a drying oven at 50-80°C for 30 minutes, and take it out.

A battery was prepared, and the first effect and cycle performance of the battery were characterized, and the corrosion of the battery pole piece after disassembly was compared.

A battery was prepared, and the first effect and cycle performance of the battery were characterized, and the corrosion of the battery pole piece after disassembly was compared.

The initial efficiency and cycle performance of the battery were characterized, and the corrosion of the battery pole pieces after disassembly was compared.

[0133] In Examples 2 to 5 of the present application, a bonding layer is added between the Al layer and the substrate, and the bonding force is increased from 4.36 N / 15 mm to more than 8 N / 15 mm, which greatly increases the bonding force of the composite current collector.
