The invention provides a water-resistant carbon-coated
current collector as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of batteries. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: preparing a core-shell type composite binder; the core layer is obtained by polymerizing raw materials including a first
monomer, a second
monomer and a cross-linking
monomer, and the shell layer is obtained by polymerizing raw materials including a third monomer, a fourth monomer and a
functional monomer; preparing conductive
slurry containing a conductive material and a dispersing agent, fully mixing the conductive
slurry with the core-shell type composite binder, and adjusting the pH value to obtain pre-
coating slurry; and
coating the surface of a
metal foil with the carbon-coated
current collector, and carrying out heat treatment to obtain the carbon-coated
current collector. The binder disclosed by the invention has high
water resistance, can effectively prevent a carbon-coated
coating from falling off when an active coating is coated, and improves the stripping force of the active coating, meanwhile, the core-shell structure of the binder prevents the surface of a conductive agent from being excessively wrapped, and specific functional groups form strong
interface bonding, so that the carbon-coated coating and an interface are compounded more tightly, and the service life of the conductive agent is prolonged. And the coating resistance of the
carbon coating layer and the diaphragm resistance of the coated
pole piece can be effectively reduced.
