The invention discloses a preparation method of high-strength and high-
toughness graphene-doped composite
copper foil, which comprises the following steps: S1, treating
graphene by adopting a high-energy ball milling method to obtain nano-sized
defective graphene; s2, preparing a
composite electrolyte containing the
defective graphene, and adding the
composite electrolyte into an industrial
electrolytic cell after
ultrasonic dispersion; s3, adding a compound additive into the electrolytic bath, and uniformly mixing through air blowing and
ultrasound; s4,
direct current is introduced, so that
graphene and
copper ions are co-deposited on the surface of the
cathode roller to prepare a composite
copper foil; and S5, carrying out acid
pickling,
water washing,
drying, stripping and rolling on the composite
copper foil. According to the invention, through
doping of nano-scale
defective graphene, on one hand, active sites are provided for
copper deposition so as to refine grains, increase grain boundaries and hinder
dislocation motion; on the other hand, due to the fact that the size of the defective graphene is matched with the height of copper grains, the strength can be improved through
dislocation pinning and
back stress strengthening, meanwhile, a multi-slip
system is activated,
dislocation storage is promoted to improve
plasticity, the balance dilemma of the strength and the
ductility of the
copper foil is broken through finally, the
copper foil has the high-strength and high-
toughness characteristics, and the design requirement for the
high energy density of the
lithium ion battery is met.
