AI Technical Summary
In existing lithium batteries, the electrode stripping force of the negative electrode is insufficient, which makes the active material easy to detach from the current collector, affecting the battery's rate and cycle performance, and posing a risk of internal short circuit.
The copper foil surface is rolled with a uniformly alternating pattern of notches and bumps to increase the roughness of the copper foil, improve the adhesion strength of the active material layer, and reduce the contact resistance.
By improving the copper foil structure, the adhesion between the copper foil and the active material layer was enhanced, the internal resistance of the battery was reduced, and the rate performance of the battery was improved.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to lithium battery technical field, specifically speaking, a modified micro -molding copper foil structure for negative pole piece. BACKGROUND
[0002] The performance of lithium battery is not only related to the performance of main material, but also related to the adhesion strength of pole piece active material and current collector, that is, pole piece peeling force. If the pole piece peeling force is too small, on the one hand, it is easy to fall off, and it is easy to fall off or break at the bending place of pole piece, so as to pierce the diaphragm and appear internal short circuit or lithium precipitation; on the other hand, the graphite material will swell and shrink after multiple charge and discharge of pole piece, and if the peeling force is too small, it can lead to the separation of current collector, affect the rate and cycle performance of battery, and make the battery decay faster. Therefore, the adhesion strength of the adhesion active material layer on the copper foil of the negative pole piece is extremely high, the existing main research and development direction needs to pay attention to the adhesion of the coating during the adjustment of the active material layer, so the adhesion performance improvement of the copper foil structure is ignored.

[0005] The cross section structure of the convex point and the recess is an isosceles conical platform structure or a ball head structure.
[0006] The outermost point of the convex point is integrally rolled with the inner recess, and the innermost point of the recess is integrally rolled with the inner convex point.
[0007] The outermost point of the convex point is integrally rolled with the inner recess, and the innermost point of the recess is integrally rolled with the inner convex point.
