Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of copper current collector, in particular to a high-adhesion nano-coated copper current collector and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion batteries have gradually begun to be applied in the fields of consumer electronics, electric vehicles, etc., and the market has also put forward higher requirements for the energy density, cycle life, use safety, etc. of lithium ion batteries. The current collector is an important component of a lithium ion battery, which plays a role in collecting electrons, supporting active materials and stabilizing the structure of the battery. In the negative electrode system, the conductive primer technology of the current collector can effectively improve the rate performance of the battery, increase the adhesion between the electrode material and the current collector, and prolong the service life of the battery.

[0003] In the prior art, copper foil is usually used as the negative electrode current collector material of a lithium ion battery. For the negative electrode, the negative electrode material is mostly a water-based system, and the nano-coated copper current collector has good water and electrolyte resistance and strong adhesion during the preparation process. However, the commonly used nano-coating is a water-based adhesive, which can cause partial dissolution and slippage of the nano-coating during the coating of the negative electrode material, affecting the peeling performance of the negative electrode material and the current collector. On the other hand, the impact is further amplified during the rolling process after the coating of the negative electrode material, which further aggravates the slippage of the nano-coating. This is the reason why the peeling strength of the nano-coated copper current collector after rolling is lower than that before rolling in the prior art, thereby affecting the overall performance of the electrode.
