Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a negative current collector, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The sodium-free anode battery uses layered oxide (such as nickel-iron-manganese oxide and copper-iron-manganese oxide) materials, Prussian blue analogues (such as iron-based Prussian white, etc.) materials, and polyanions (such as sodium iron sulfate, sodium iron phosphate, etc.) as the positive electrode, and an aluminum foil current collector acts as the negative electrode. It mainly uses ethers as solvents, adds Na + metal salts (such as sodium fluoride salt, sodium borate salt, and sodium perchlorate salt, etc.) electrolytes, and various additives (such as film-forming, flame-retardant, and overcharge protection types, etc.) to form an electrolyte. Although the sodium-free anode battery has advantages such as good low-temperature performance, low cost, and high energy density, its battery volume changes significantly (significant expansion and contraction), gas generation, and sodium dendrites are serious, which seriously hinder the application of sodium-ion batteries. As a key component in the battery, the most common modification of the current collector is only to coat a conductive agent on the surface of the aluminum foil. Such a current collector is too traditional and has many problems. For example, the space for sodium metal to deposit on the aluminum foil is limited and can only deposit on the surface, which will lead to a large volume change of the battery and easy generation of sodium dendrites, greatly reducing the cycle life of the battery. Similarly, such current collectors also have similar problems in sodium-free lithium-ion batteries.
