According to an embodiment of the invention, the minimum distance between adjacent grooves in the mesh structure is 1mm to 10mm; for example 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm or 10mm. When the mesh structure satisfies the above conditions, the conductive layer in the composite current collector may form an integrated electronic circuit.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the maximum distance between adjacent cells in the mesh structure is 1mm to 20mm; for example 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 15mm or 20mm. When the mesh structure satisfies the above conditions, the conductive layer in the composite current collector may form an integrated electronic circuit. When the battery is in local short circuit and high current, the conductive connection area serving as a fuse can cut off current in time due to high-temperature fusing, so that the battery is prevented from being in fire explosion caused by thermal runaway, and the passing rate of the battery needling test is improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness T3 of the conductive layer is 0.4 μm.ltoreq.T3.ltoreq.3μm; for example 0.4 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.8 μm, 2 μm, 2.2 μm, 2.5 μm, 2.8 μm or 3 μm; the manufacturing cost and the manufacturing processability of the conductive layer satisfying this range are optimized. The thickness of the conductive layer is too thin, for example, less than 0.4 μm, and the strength of the composite current collector does not meet the requirements of the battery manufacturing process. The thickness of the conductive layer is too thick, for example, more than 3 μm, which is disadvantageous for increasing the energy density of the lithium ion battery.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness T0 of the composite current collector is 1 μm.ltoreq.T0.ltoreq.30μm, more preferably 3 μm.ltoreq.T0.ltoreq.15μm, for example 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, 22 μm, 25 μm, 28 μm or 30 μm.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the density of the substrate layer is far lower than that of the traditional rolled aluminum foil, so that the weight per unit area of the composite current collector is far lower than that of the aluminum foil current collector with the same thickness, the weight reduction of the current collector can be realized, and the energy density of the battery cell is improved. The substrate layer also plays a role in supporting the conductive layer, so that the mechanical stability of the composite current collector is improved; the conductive layer has a net structure, and the grooves in the net structure expose the substrate layer of the composite current collector, so the grooves are insulated, but other areas of the conductive layer are communicated, so that an integral electronic circuit can be formed. When the battery is in local short circuit and high current, the conductive connection area with the fuse function can cut off current in time due to high-temperature fusing, so that the battery is prevented from being in fire explosion caused by thermal runaway, and the passing rate of the battery needling test is improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate layer includes a polymer high molecular material, preferably includes a polymer high molecular material subjected to a biaxial stretching process, and further, the polymer high molecular material includes at least one of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyimide (PI), polycarbonate (PC), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or derivatives thereof.

When the thickness of the substrate layer is less than 1 μm, the substrate layer is too thin, which is disadvantageous for mechanical stability of the composite current collector; when the thickness of the base material layer is more than 30 μm, the base material layer is too thick, which is disadvantageous in increasing the energy density of the battery.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate layer has an elongation at break of 3% or more, more preferably 50% or more. The substrate layer with such elongation at break can provide sufficient mechanical properties for the subsequent composite current collector.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the melting point of the substrate layer is 80 ℃ to 400 ℃ inclusive of Q0, more preferably 180 ℃ to 300 ℃ inclusive of Q0.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the surface roughness of the base material layer is 0.05 μm or less Ra 1.0 μm or less, more preferably 0.1 μm or less Ra 0.5 μm or less.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the shrinkage of the substrate layer is less than 4% in an environment of 30 minutes at 150 ℃. Therefore, the substrate layer has good heat resistance, and the contact area of the anode and the cathode can not be further increased due to thermal shrinkage at the moment of short circuit, so that thermal runaway is caused.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material forming the first coating layer includes at least one of silica, mica, mullite, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, and chromium oxide.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the thickness T2 of the first coating layer is 1 nm.ltoreq.T2.ltoreq.100 nm, more preferably 6 nm.ltoreq.T2.ltoreq.50 nm, for example 1nm, 2nm, 5nm, 8nm, 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, 35nm, 40nm, 45nm, 50nm, 60nm, 70nm, 80nm, 90nm or 100nm. The first coating is positioned between the substrate layer and the conductive layer, and has the main function of increasing the binding force between the substrate layer and the conductive layer, and can resist thermal shock, force impact or electrolyte corrosion without falling off. When the thickness of the first coating is less than 1nm, the first coating is too thin to facilitate adhesion between the conductive layer and the substrate layer; when the thickness of the first coating layer is greater than 100nm, the first coating layer is too thick, which is disadvantageous for an increase in energy density of the battery.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material forming the conductive layer includes aluminum or an aluminum alloy, which is an alloy of aluminum and at least one of copper, silver, nickel, zinc, magnesium, and titanium.
According to the embodiment of the invention, when the conductive layer is measured by using X-ray diffraction, the crystal face (111) with characteristic diffraction peaks exists, so that the electron transmission channel of the conductive layer can be effectively improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the surface sheet resistance of the conductive layer ranges from 15mΩ to R0 to 120mΩ, more preferably from 25mΩ to R0 to 80mΩ.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material forming the protective layer includes at least one of a metal, a metal oxide, and conductive carbon.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the material forming the protective layer includes at least one of nickel, chromium, nickel-based alloy, copper-based alloy, aluminum oxide, cobalt oxide, chromium oxide, nickel oxide, graphite, superconducting carbon, carbon black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon nanofibers, metallic titanium, and metallic tantalum.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the thickness T4 of the protective layer is 10 nm.ltoreq.T4.ltoreq.100 nm, more preferably 15 nm.ltoreq.T4.ltoreq.50 nm, for example 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, 35nm, 40nm, 45nm, 50nm, 60nm, 70nm, 80nm, 90nm or 100nm. The lithium salt in the electrolyte can corrode the aluminum layer in the cyclic use process of the lithium battery, and reacts with the lithium salt to generate aluminum fluoride, so that the aluminum layer with thinner original thickness and higher sheet resistance is corroded and consumed, the total internal resistance of the lithium battery is increased, and the long-term use of the battery is not facilitated. The protective layer can effectively block the reaction of the conductive layer and the electrolyte, prevent the conductive layer from being oxidized by oxygen and corroded by the electrolyte, and improve the working stability and the service life of the battery. When the thickness of the protective layer is less than 10nm, the protective layer is too thin to form effective protection; when the thickness of the protective layer is greater than 100nm, the protective layer is too thick, which is disadvantageous for an increase in energy density of the battery.
