Description

Flexible current collector with composite structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of new energy battery materials, in particular to a flexible current collector with a composite structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Current collectors currently used in electrochemical systems, including lithium ion batteries, solid state batteries, supercapacitors and lithium sulfur batteries, are mainly aluminum foils and copper foils. The current collector mainly functions to provide good electronic conduction capability and connect to an external circuit, and the prior art includes using aluminum foil, copper foil or other base film with electronic conduction capability as the current collector directly in an electrochemical system, and also includes a coating modified current collector used for improving the good contact capability of the current collector with an electrode material attached to the surface of the current collector, improving the electronic conduction capability of an interface, and avoiding corrosion of the current collector by some substances in the electrochemical system.
The current collector is a metal current collector or a metal substrate for surface modification, and the whole current collector is an electronic conductive path, so that the safety problem of the high-energy density lithium battery in thermal runaway can not be solved. Meanwhile, the current collector product gradually develops towards light weight, high interface binding force and high safety under the requirements of high energy density, high safety, rapid charge and discharge capacity and long cycle life of an application end.
The patent with the application number of 201811401509.1 (application date: 2018-11-22) discloses a lithium ion battery current collector and a preparation method thereof, wherein the current collector adopts a flexible non-conductive base material, and a metal conductive coating is formed on the surface of the base material by chemical plating or electroplating. The current collector can improve the strength performance of the current collector and the safety performance of a lithium ion battery.
The patent with the application number of 201710243721.9 (application date: 2017-04-14) discloses a positive current collector, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the current collector adopts a multi-layer structure comprising a plastic film, and an adhesive force enhancement layer, an aluminum metal coating, an anti-oxidation layer and the like are sequentially plated on the upper surface and the lower surface of the plastic film. The positive current collector can realize light weight of the battery and improve energy density, and can ensure that the aluminum plating layer is not easy to fall off and oxidize.
The patent with application number 201810691419.4 discloses a flexible current collector, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in a lithium ion battery, wherein the current collector adopts a polymer film as a substrate, after surface treatment, a metal conductive carbon coating is sputtered on two surfaces of the polymer film by a target material by a vacuum sputtering method, and then active material coatings are coated on two sides of the metal conductive carbon coating. The advantages are that the flexibility and the mechanical strength are better, and the crease or brittle fracture is not easy to generate in the bending process; the polymer film has lower mass density as the material of the substrate, can reduce the total quality of the battery and improve the energy density of the battery, and simultaneously has the advantages of high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, low material cost and convenient mass production.
The surface conductive layer of the flexible non-conductive substrate adopted in the above-mentioned published patent forms a metal conductive layer on the surface of the flexible non-conductive current collector, and such metal conductive layer can cause the following problems in the application process:
1) when the metal conducting layer is applied, the contact area between the electrode material layer and the rigid metal material is smaller due to the contact between the electrode material and the rigid metal material, the electrode material layer swells when the pole piece is soaked in the later period, the contact area between the electrode material layer and the metal conducting layer is smaller, the interface impedance is larger, the integral electronic conduction capability of the electrode pole piece is poorer, and the performance and the cycle service life of the electrochemical system under the high-current charging and discharging condition are influenced;
2) because the contact area between the metal conducting layer and the electrode material layer is small, the adhesive force deviation between the adhesive in the electrode material layer and the rigid metal conducting layer can be caused, the impedance consistency of the electrode slice is poor, the current density distribution is not uniform, and the electrochemical performance and consistency of an electrochemical system product are seriously influenced;
3) the electrode material layer has a certain degree of dimensional change during the working period of the battery, so that the interface connection between the originally weak metal conducting layer and the electrode material layer is strengthened, and the performance of an electrochemical system is rapidly deteriorated;
4) plating an oxide layer on the surface of the metal coating, wherein if the oxide layer is a metal layer, the oxidation problem still exists; if it is non-metallic SiC, Si3N4Or Al2O3Then Si3N4And Al2O3Being a non-conductive material, SiC being a semiconductor material, the electron conducting capacity is greatly hindered, and such a re-plating method also results in excessive costs.
Therefore, it is an urgent problem to obtain a flexible current collector with low cost, strong adhesion and excellent electrochemical performance.
