Description

Preparation method of cathode expanded graphite paper current collector
Technical Field
The invention relates to preparation of an electrode current collector, in particular to a preparation method of a cathode expanded graphite paper current collector.
Background
In recent years, the development and utilization of new clean energy has promoted the rapid development of energy storage devices. As an electrochemical energy storage device, a super capacitor has been widely paid attention to due to the performance characteristics of high power density, high energy density, long cycle life, safety, reliability, environmental friendliness and the like. The super capacitor has huge application potential in the fields of wearable electronic equipment, uninterruptible power supplies, new energy automobiles and the like. The component parts of a supercapacitor generally include a current collector, an electrode material, an electrolyte, and a separator. The current collector plays an important role in charge transfer with the electrode material, and thus has an important influence on the electrochemical performance of the prepared electrode and the corresponding supercapacitor device.
The current collectors traditionally used at present mainly include copper foils, aluminum foils, carbon cloths, graphite papers, and the like. The graphite paper is widely used as a current collector of an electrochemical energy storage device due to the advantages of low price, high conductivity, light weight and the like. However, the graphite paper has a smooth surface, so that the contact area with the electrode material is small, and thus the charge transmission with the electrode material is limited, which is not favorable for the prepared electrode and the improvement of the electrochemical performance of the device. In order to effectively improve the electrochemical performance of the prepared supercapacitor, the mainstream method at present is to roughen the graphite paper so as to increase the contact area between the graphite paper and an electrode material. According to the documents and patents which have been published so far, the roughening treatment of graphite paper is mainly achieved by electrochemical anode expansion. However, this method generates a large amount of oxygen during the expansion process, resulting in the introduction of more oxygen-containing functional groups on the graphite surface, thereby generating more defects and greatly reducing the electrical conductivity. This limits the electrochemical performance of the produced supercapacitor, preventing the application of this preparation method.
