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 for electrochemical systems including lithium ion batteries, solid state batteries, supercapacitors and lithium sulfur batteries are mainly aluminum foil and copper foil. The main function of the current collector is to provide good electron conduction capability and connect to an external circuit, and the prior art includes using aluminum foil, copper foil or other substrate films with electron conduction capability as the current collector directly in an electrochemical system, and also includes coating modified current collectors used for improving the good contact capability of the current collector and electrode materials attached to the surface of the current collector, improving the electron conduction capability of interfaces and avoiding corrosion of the current collector by certain substances in the electrochemical system.
The current collector is directly subjected to surface modification by adopting a metal current collector or a metal substrate, and the whole current collector is an electronic conductive path, so that the safety problem of the high-energy-density lithium battery when thermal runaway occurs can not be solved. Meanwhile, the current collector product gradually develops towards the directions of light weight, high interface binding force and high safety under the requirements of high energy density, high safety, quick charge and discharge capability and long cycle life of an application end.
Patent application number 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 substrate, and a metal conductive coating is formed on the surface of the substrate by adopting chemical plating or electroplating. The current collector can improve the strength performance of the current collector and the safety performance of the lithium ion battery.
Patent application number 201710243721.9 (application date: 2017-04-14) discloses a positive electrode current collector, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the current collector adopts a multilayer structure comprising a plastic film, an adhesive force enhancement layer, an aluminum metal plating layer, an anti-oxidation layer and the like, and the upper surface and the lower surface of the plastic film are plated in sequence. The positive current collector not only can realize the light weight of the battery and improve the energy density, but also can ensure that an aluminized layer is not easy to fall off and oxidize.
Patent application number 201810691419.4 discloses a flexible current collector, a preparation method thereof and application 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 sides 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 bending machine has the advantages of better flexibility and mechanical strength, and crease or brittle fracture is not easy to generate in the bending process; the polymer film as the material of the substrate has lower mass density, can reduce the overall quality of the battery and improve the energy density of the battery, and has the advantages of high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, low material cost and convenience for mass production.
The conductive layers on the surface of the flexible non-conductive substrate adopted in the above disclosed patent are all formed by plating a metal conductive layer on the surface of the flexible non-conductive current collector, and the metal conductive layer can cause the following problems in the application process:
1) The contact area between the metal conducting layer and the electrode material layer is smaller due to the contact of the electrode material and the rigid metal material, the electrode material layer swells when the electrode material layer is immersed in the electrode material layer 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 overall electronic conduction capacity of the electrode plate is poorer, and the performance exertion and the cycle service life of an electrochemical system under the condition of high-current charge and discharge are influenced;
2) The contact area between the metal conductive layer and the electrode material layer is smaller, so that the adhesive force deviation between the adhesive in the electrode material layer and the rigid metal conductive layer can be caused, the impedance consistency of the electrode sheet is poor, the current density distribution is uneven, and the electrochemical performance and consistency of an electrochemical system product are seriously influenced;
3) The electrode material layer has a certain dimensional change during the operation of the battery, so that the interface connection between the originally weak metal conductive layer and the electrode material layer is enhanced, 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 the non-metallic materials are SiC, si 3N4 or Al 2O3, si 3N4 and Al 2O3 are non-conductive materials, siC is a semiconductor material, the electron conductivity is greatly hindered, and such a recoating method also results in excessive cost.
Therefore, it is an urgent problem in the art to obtain a flexible current collector having low cost, strong adhesion and excellent electrochemical properties.
