Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and specifically to a novel distributed copper-aluminum composite current collector. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries have the advantages of long recycling life, environmental protection and energy saving, and are an important energy storage technology. The current collector is one of the indispensable components in lithium batteries. The current collectors used in existing lithium batteries are pure copper foils for the negative electrode and pure aluminum foils for the positive electrode. Whether it is copper foil or aluminum foil, they are monomer materials, and there are some negative effects, such as higher process control requirements, increased costs or reduced energy density. Composite current collectors integrate the characteristics of being thin and light and having high safety, and have been widely studied in recent years. However, at present, only a single active material positive electrode material or negative electrode material is coated on the surface of the composite copper current collector or composite aluminum current collector, which limits the diversity of the structural design of lithium batteries and also limits the application of some advanced materials such as solid electrolytes. In addition, at present, the polymer film and the adhesive layer are not porous structures, which is not convenient for the movement of ions. Using a porous structure film as the polymer film layer can enhance the adhesion between the metal layer and the polymer film, but the tensile strength of the porous structure film is not high.

[0088] Experiment:

[0089] The copper-aluminum composite current collectors prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were subjected to performance tests. The two ends of a tensile testing machine were used to fix the samples; the tensile testing machine was started, and the samples were stretched. When fracture occurred, the recorded data was the tensile strength. The two ends of a tensile testing machine were used to fix the samples; the tensile testing machine was started to conduct a tensile test on the samples, and the length L0 between the upper and lower clamps before the test was set to 50 mm. The samples were stretched at a tensile speed of 100 mm / min until the distance between the two clamps when the sample was just broken was recorded as L1. Then the elongation of the sample = (L1 - L0) / L0. The polyacrylic acid adhesive layer coating solutions prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were taken and respectively coated on the polymer films with amino groups and the untreated polymer films prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2, and dried to form films. The coating thickness was 2 μm. A QFH-A film scribing tool was used to conduct an adhesion test on the polyacrylic acid adhesive layer coating solution film layer on the surface of the polymer film. First, 5 parallel incisions 15 mm long were made on the polyacrylic acid adhesive layer coating solution film layer, and the distance between each incision was 1 mm. Then a vertical incision was made on the parallel incisions, and the depth of the incisions was greater than the film thickness. The degree of peeling of the polyacrylic acid adhesive layer coating solution film layer was observed to characterize the adhesion between the polyacrylic acid adhesive layer coating solution and the polymer film. The obtained data is shown in the following table: The test results are shown in the following table:

[0090]

[0091] Conclusion: It can be seen from the comparison of the data in the table that in Comparative Example 1, the polymer film BOPP film was not pretreated, and there were no grafted amino groups on the film, so it was impossible to form stable amide bonds with polyethylene glycol active esters, and the film layer peeled off, with a peeling rate of 50%-65%, and the adhesion between the polyacrylic acid adhesive layer coating solution and the polymer film became poor. In Comparative Example 2, boron nitride was not added, the adhesion became poor, and the tensile strength of the film decreased.

[0092] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
