[0116] Summary of performance test results

[0117]

[0118] Analysis: The peeling strengths of the three examples are 55 N / m, 58 N / m, and 56 N / m, respectively, all meeting the requirement of "≥ 55 N / m", verifying the enhancing effect of the composite current collector structure "metal base layer-mesoporous carbon-MOF transition layer-conductive polymer transition layer + gradient porosity + Al2O3 coating" on the interfacial bonding force.

[0119] Bulk conductivity: 95 S / cm, 98 S / cm, and 96 S / cm, respectively, all meeting the standard of "≥ 95 S / cm", proving that the carbon fiber-carbon nanotube conductive network (aspect ratio 50-100, diameter 10-20 nm, mass ratio 3:1) formed by magnetic field assisted orientation can stably improve the electron transport efficiency.

[0120] Cycle stability: 500 cycle capacity retention rate is 90%-92%, meeting the requirement of "≥ 90%", reflecting the inhibition effect of the positive electrode core-shell structure (high-nickel ternary as core, lithium iron phosphate as shell) on the side reaction.

[0121] Comparative Example 1 (without gradient pores and Al2O3 coating): the peeling strength is reduced from 58 N / m of Example 2 to 32 N / m, and the electrolyte infiltration time is extended from 3 min to 8 min, proving that the mechanical interlocking of the gradient pores and the chemical bonding of the Al2O3 coating are the core factors for improving the interfacial bonding force and electrolyte infiltration;

[0122] Comparative Example 2 (without positive electrode core-shell structure): the capacity retention rate is reduced to 75% after 500 cycles, verifying that the physical isolation of the lithium iron phosphate shell layer to the high-nickel ternary material in the core-shell structure can effectively inhibit the dissolution of transition metals and side reactions;

[0123] Comparative Example 3 (without magnetic field assisted orientation): the volume conductivity is suddenly reduced to 62 S / cm, and the electrode sheet resistance is increased to 85 mΩ·cm, indicating that the magnetic field orientation is a key process for ensuring the regularity of the conductive network and reducing the electron transport resistance;

[0124] Comparative Example 4 (without mesoporous carbon-MOF composite transition layer): the ion transport rate is reduced to 1.8×10⁻ 4 cm / s, and the low-temperature discharge capacity retention rate is reduced to 65%, reflecting the optimization effect of the mesoporous structure (2-5 nm) of the mesoporous carbon-MOF transition layer on ion adsorption and transport.
