[0031] Figure 2 It is a front view of the composite foil of the present invention.
[0032] Among them, 1-base film, 2-metal layer, 3-first metal mesh, 4-second metal mesh. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below by specific implementation methods. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the implementation methods are only to help understand the present invention and should not be regarded as specific limitations of the present invention.
[0034] In a first specific embodiment, the present invention provides a composite foil material, wherein the composite foil material comprises a composite layer, wherein the composite layer comprises a base film and metal layers on both sides of the base film.
[0035] A first metal mesh is arranged on the surface and side of one side of the composite layer, and a second metal mesh is arranged on the surface and side of the other side. The first metal mesh and the second metal mesh are connected at the side of the composite layer.
[0036] The composite foil material further includes a first metal fixing film, which covers the first metal mesh and contacts the composite layer in the mesh holes of the first metal mesh, so that the composite layer is fixed to the first metal mesh.
[0037] The composite foil further includes a second metal fixing film, which covers the second metal mesh and contacts the composite layer in the mesh holes of the second metal mesh, so that the composite layer is fixed to the second metal mesh.
[0038] The surface of the composite foil material has mesh patterns of a first metal mesh and a second metal mesh.
[0039] Since the traditional composite foil only includes a base film and metal layers on both sides of the base film, the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and peeling strength of the foil are low, and there is no conduction between the layers. The composite foil provided by the present invention is provided with metal meshes on both sides of the composite layer composed of the base film and the metal layer. The provision of the metal meshes can not only improve the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of the traditional composite foil, but the texture of the metal meshes can also help to retain more slurry during coating, thereby facilitating the preparation of thick electrodes. At the same time, under the condition of the same active material loading, the peeling force between the active material layer and the composite foil can also be improved; the provision of the metal meshes can also improve the porosity of the electrode plate, thereby improving the electrolyte infiltration effect of the electrode plate.
[0040] Furthermore, the side of the composite layer of the present invention is also provided with a metal mesh, and the metal meshes on the side are also connected, so as to realize the overall conduction of the composite foil. In addition, the surface of the metal mesh and the surface of the composite layer in the metal mesh of the present invention are provided with a metal fixing film, and the metal fixing film fixes the composite layer and the metal mesh together, so that the composite layer and the metal mesh become a solid whole.
[0041] It should be noted that after the first metal fixing film and the second metal fixing film are set, the surface of the composite foil still has the mesh texture of the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh, that is, after the first metal fixing film and the second metal fixing film are set, the metal mesh is not smoothed into a flat layered structure, thereby ensuring that the metal mesh can play its role.
[0042] The top view of the composite foil of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the front view is as Figure 2 As shown, metal layers 2 are arranged on both sides of the base film 1, and first metal meshes 3 and second metal meshes 4 are arranged on both sides of the metal layer 2. A metal mesh is also arranged on the side of the composite layer formed by the base film 1 and the metal layer 2, and the first metal mesh 3 and the second metal mesh 4 on the side are connected together. At the same time, a metal fixing film is arranged on the outside of the metal mesh to fix the metal mesh and the composite layer into a whole.
[0043] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first metal fixed film is smaller than the thickness of the first metal mesh, and the thickness of the second metal fixed film is smaller than the thickness of the second metal mesh.
[0044] The metal fixing film of the present invention is preferably thinner than the thickness of the metal mesh, that is, a metal fixing film thinner than the metal mesh can better ensure the mesh texture of the metal mesh.
[0045] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first metal fixed film is 5%-10% of the thickness of the first metal mesh, for example, it can be 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% or 10%, and the thickness of the second metal fixed film is 5%-10% of the thickness of the second metal mesh, for example, it can be 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% or 10%, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0046] The thickness of the metal fixing film of the present invention is preferably 5-10% of the thickness of the metal mesh, so that the metal fixing film can not only play the role of fixing the metal mesh, but also maintain the mesh texture of the metal mesh on the surface of the composite foil.
[0047] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh are independently 3 μm-5 μm, for example, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm or 5 μm, but are not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0048] In some embodiments, the mesh size of the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh is 50-120 mesh, for example, it can be 50 mesh, 60 mesh, 80 mesh, 100 mesh or 120 mesh, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0049] In some embodiments, the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh are independently copper mesh or aluminum mesh, and the metal material of the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh is the same as the metal material of the metal layer, that is, if the metal layer in the composite layer of the present invention is a copper layer, the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh are copper mesh, and if it is an aluminum layer, the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh are aluminum mesh.
[0050] In some embodiments, the first metal fixed film and the second metal fixed film are independently copper films or aluminum films.
[0051] In some embodiments, the base film includes a polymer film layer, and the metal layer includes a copper layer or an aluminum layer.
[0052] Exemplarily, when the metal layer is a copper layer, the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh are both copper meshes, and the first metal fixed film and the second metal fixed film are both copper films; when the metal layer is an aluminum layer, the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh are both aluminum meshes, and the first metal fixed film and the second metal fixed film are both aluminum films.
[0053] In some embodiments, the polymer film layer includes a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film layer, a PP (polypropylene) film layer, or a composite film layer of PET and PP.
[0054] Exemplarily, the thickness of the base film is 3-12 μm, for example, 3 μm, 4.5 μm, 6 μm, 8 μm, or 12 μm, and the thickness of the metal layer is 1-2 μm, for example, 1 μm, 1.5 μm or 2 μm, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0055] In a second specific embodiment, a method for preparing the composite foil as described in the first specific embodiment is provided, and the preparation method comprises the following steps:
[0056] The first metal mesh is arranged on one side of the composite layer, and the second metal mesh is arranged on the other side of the composite layer, and then hot pressing is performed.

[0058] Finally, the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh on the side of the composite layer are connected to obtain the composite foil.
[0059] The present invention first arranges the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh on one side and the other side of the composite layer, then performs hot pressing to load the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh on the surface and side of the composite layer, then arranges the first metal fixing film and the second metal fixing film to fix the metal mesh and the composite layer, and finally connects the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh on the side of the composite layer.
[0060] The first metal mesh and the second metal mesh of the present invention are wider than the width of the composite layer, so that the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh can be arranged on the surface and the side of the composite layer, and can also be connected together. The present invention does not specifically limit the width of the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh wider than the composite layer. Those skilled in the art can make a reasonable choice based on the thickness of the composite layer and the need to connect the side metal meshes together; illustratively, the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh are independently 3-5 cm wider than the single side width of the composite layer, for example, can be 3 cm, 4 cm or 5 cm, but are not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0061] In addition, the present invention only needs to ensure that the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh are wider than the width of the composite layer. Since the composite foil material of the present invention can be cut according to the actual application size, the cutting process can be carried out according to the size of the composite foil material. Figure 2 The front view of the composite foil is cut to ensure that the front view of the composite foil obtained after cutting is consistent with Figure 2 same.
[0062] It should be noted that the side surface of the composite layer in the present invention refers to the side surface in the width direction of the composite layer.
[0063] In some embodiments, the hot pressing temperature is 400°C-500°C, for example, 400°C, 450°C or 500°C, the pressure is 0.5MPa-1MPa, for example, 0.5MPa, 0.7MPa, 0.9MPa or 1MPa, and the time is 10s-50s, for example, 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s or 50s, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0064] In some embodiments, the methods of providing the first metal fixed film and the second metal fixed film respectively and independently include magnetron sputtering or vacuum evaporation.
[0065] The present invention can use magnetron sputtering or vacuum evaporation to set the metal fixed film, so that the metal mesh and the composite layer become a whole; in addition, the present invention does not specifically limit the specific conditions for setting the first metal fixed film and the second metal fixed film by magnetron sputtering and vacuum evaporation, as long as a metal fixed film of the target thickness can be obtained.
[0066] In some embodiments, the method of connecting the first metal mesh and the second metal mesh on the side of the composite layer includes welding. For example, conventional ultrasonic spot welding equipment can be used to weld the composite foil.
[0067] The present invention further arranges a metal mesh on the side of the composite layer, so the metal mesh on the side of the composite layer can be welded, making the welding of the composite foil more convenient and the production efficiency higher.
[0068] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the composite layer includes: setting a metal layer on both sides of the base film by magnetron sputtering or vacuum evaporation. The present invention does not specifically limit the specific conditions for setting the metal layer by magnetron sputtering and vacuum evaporation, as long as a metal layer of the target thickness can be obtained.
