Comparative example 1 6 97 1400
Comparative example 2 5 96.5 1350
According to the test results, the ion concentrations of the upper metal layer and the lower metal layer of the current collector tend to be consistent by arranging the porous structure on the composite current collector, so that the polarization of the upper metal layer and the lower metal layer of the porous composite current collector is reduced, and the electrical property of the battery, especially the internal resistance and the multiplying power of the battery are improved. And the parameters of the pore structure, such as the pore diameter, the center distance between pores and the like, are further regulated and controlled, so that the polarizability of the porous composite current collector can be reduced on the basis of excellent mechanical strength. And the larger the pore size, the larger the number of pores also reduces the strength of the composite current collector.
