Description

Current collector and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a current collector, in particular to a current collector and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of batteries.
Background
The secondary battery has the characteristics of high energy density and high power density, so that the secondary battery has wide application prospects in the fields of consumer electronics, electric vehicles, energy storage and the like. However, the secondary battery may cause an internal short circuit under some abuse conditions (e.g., needle punching, pressing, impact, etc.) to cause thermal runaway to cause safety accidents, and thus, there is an increasing interest in improving the safety performance of the secondary battery.
In a conventional secondary battery, for example, a lithium ion battery, a current collector is made of a metal foil, a positive electrode is generally made of a metal aluminum foil, and a negative electrode is generally made of a metal copper foil, so that current cannot be cut off in the case of a short circuit inside the battery, which may cause heat accumulation and ultimately cause thermal runaway. Therefore, there are researchers replacing conventional metal current collectors with a new class of current collectors. The novel current collector generally adopts a non-conductive polymer film as a substrate, and metal is evaporated on two sides of the substrate in a vacuum evaporation mode, an electroplating mode and the like. For example, plating aluminum on both sides of a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film as a positive current collector and plating copper on both sides of the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film as a negative current collector achieve certain effects of improving the safety performance of the battery, and simultaneously can reduce the weight of the current collector and further improve the weight energy density of the battery.
However, the current collector in the above technical solution is prone to bend the battery during use due to certain elasticity, and further negatively affects the conductivity and capacity retention rate of the battery to a certain extent.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of the current collector of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the current collector of the present invention comprises a first polymer film layer 1, a second polymer layer 2 and a metal layer 3;
the second polymer layer 2 is formed on the upper surface of the first polymer film layer 1 by prepolymer curing, and the metal layer 3 is arranged on the upper surface of the second polymer layer 2;
wherein the prepolymer is at least one of acrylic resin prepolymer, polyurethane prepolymer and silicon rubber prepolymer.
Specifically, the current collector of the invention comprises a first polymer film layer 1, a second polymer layer 2 and a metal layer 3 from bottom to top in sequence.
In the current collector of the present invention, the first polymer film layer 1 can mainly reduce the quality of the current collector, enhance the safety performance of a battery using the current collector by reducing the probability of short circuit, and ensure that the current collector has certain rigidity and strength. The first polymer film layer 1 may be obtained by directly melting, coating, and cooling a polymer compound in sequence, or may be obtained by dissolving a polymer compound in a solvent, coating the solution, and evaporating the solvent, and in one embodiment, the material of the first polymer film layer 1, that is, the polymer compound may be selected from the group consisting of poly (terephthalate), polyamide, Polyimide (PI), Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), poly (paraphenylene terephthalamide), polypropylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, polyvinyl formal, polyvinyl butyral, polyurethane, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl acetate, polyoxymethylene, phenol resin, epoxy resin, poly (ethylene terephthalate), poly (propylene glycol), poly (acrylonitrile-butadiene-co-styrene), poly (vinyl formal), poly (vinyl butyral), poly (, At least one of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), silicone rubber, polycarbonate, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyphenylene oxide.
The second polymer film layer 2 is obtained by coating a prepolymer on the upper surface of the first polymer film layer 1 and then curing the prepolymer. Specifically, the prepolymer may be at least one selected from an acrylic resin prepolymer, a polyurethane prepolymer, and a silicone rubber prepolymer. Because the prepolymer is a liquid substance with certain viscosity, the prepolymer can be cured by a curing means to form a cured film layer after being coated on the upper surface of the first polymer film layer. In the present invention, the curing means is not particularly limited, and may be ultraviolet curing, room temperature curing, or heating curing.
The metal layer 3 is formed on the upper surface of the second polymer layer 2, and is mainly used for collecting and conducting current generated by active materials in the electrode. The material of the metal layer 3 may be aluminum, copper, nickel, titanium, silver, stainless steel, nickel-copper alloy, aluminum-zirconium alloy. The material of the metal layer 3 determines the specific application of the current collector, for example, when the metal layer is an aluminum layer, the current collector is a positive current collector; when the metal layer is positioned on the copper layer, the current collector is a negative electrode current collector.
According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, even if the limited current collector is bent by 180 degrees at the bending radius of 0.5cm and the resistance change rate is less than 0.5 percent after being repeatedly bent for 20000 times, the current collector still has good conductive performance, and when the limited current collector is used in an electrode of a secondary battery, such as a lithium ion battery, the capacity retention rate of the battery is not remarkably reduced after the battery is bent for 1000 times at the bending radius of 3cm and 90 ℃. Based on the analysis, the inventor thinks that the second polymer film layer obtained by curing the prepolymer on the surface of the first polymer film layer has more excellent elasticity, so that the second polymer film layer is beneficial to rapid recovery after being stretched or bent, and is more beneficial to increasing the flexibility of the current collector, thereby reducing the negative influence of bending on the current collector and the battery.
In one embodiment, the acrylic resin prepolymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of an epoxy acrylate prepolymer, a polyether acrylate prepolymer, and a polyester acrylate prepolymer.
In one embodiment, the polyurethane prepolymer is selected from the group consisting of polyester polyurethane prepolymers and polyether polyurethane prepolymers.
In specific application, the prepolymer and the first polymer film layer can be obtained commercially.
The thickness of the second polymer layer is not limited by the invention, and may be, for example, 1 to 1000nm, and in order to further optimize the bending resistance of the current collector and avoid other influences on the performance of the battery due to the excessively thick current collector, the thickness of the second polymer layer may be 10 to 100 nm.
In addition, the invention also defines the thickness of the first polymer film layer and the metal layer. Specifically, the thickness of the first polymer film layer may be 1 to 15 μm, further 3 to 10 μm; the thickness of the metal layer may be 0.1 to 5 μm, and further 0.5 to 2 μm.
The current collector sequentially comprises a first polymer film layer, a second polymer layer obtained by solidifying an oligomer and a metal layer from bottom to top, and the resistivity of the current collector can not be obviously changed even after the current collector is bent for many times, so that good conductive performance can be kept; when the current collector is applied to a secondary battery, the current collector contributes to a secondary battery having a high capacity retention rate even after being bent a plurality of times.
The invention also provides a preparation method of any one of the current collectors, which comprises the following steps:
1) coating a prepolymer on the upper surface of the first polymer film layer, and then curing the prepolymer to obtain a second polymer layer on the upper surface of the first polymer film layer;
2) and arranging a metal layer on the upper surface of the second polymer layer to obtain the current collector.
In step 1), after coating the prepolymer on the upper surface of the first polymer film, the liquid prepolymer having a certain viscosity may be cured by means of, for example, ultraviolet curing, room temperature curing, or heating curing, so as to form the second polymer layer on the upper surface of the first polymer film.
In step 2), a metal layer may be disposed on the upper surface of the second polymer layer by at least one of mechanical pressing, adhesion, vapor deposition, chemical plating, and electroplating, wherein the vapor deposition method may be a physical vapor deposition method, and the physical vapor deposition method may be at least one of evaporation and sputtering; the evaporation method may be at least one of a vacuum evaporation method, a thermal evaporation method, and an electron beam evaporation method, and the sputtering method may be a magnetron sputtering method.
Before the step 1), sequentially melting a high molecular polymer, coating on the surface of a support plate, and cooling to finally obtain a first polymer film layer; or dissolving the high molecular polymer in a solvent, coating the solution on the carrier plate, and evaporating the solvent to obtain the first polymer film layer.
It can be understood that the above preparation processes can be all completed on the carrier plate, and when the preparation of the metal layer is completed, the carrier plate can be separated from the current collector; or separating the first polymer film layer from the carrier plate, and then sequentially arranging a second polymer layer and a metal layer.
In the above preparation method, the materials and thicknesses of the first polymer film layer, the second polymer layer and the metal layer are the same as those described above, and are not described herein again.
The invention also provides an application of the current collector, and specifically provides a secondary battery which comprises the current collector.
In a specific application, the current collector may be used as a support of a secondary battery electrode, and a slurry containing a positive electrode active material or a slurry containing a negative electrode active material may be applied to a metal layer of the current collector to obtain a positive electrode or a negative electrode.
The positive electrode and/or the negative electrode including the current collector is assembled with an electrolyte and a separator to obtain a secondary battery, and the conductive performance and the capacity retention performance of the secondary battery are not affected even if the secondary battery is bent for a plurality of times.
Further, the secondary battery may be a lithium ion battery.
