Description

Preparation method of graphene modified aluminum foil
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion battery materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of graphene modified aluminum foil.
Background
Aluminum foil is widely used as a material of a positive electrode current collector in lithium ion batteries due to its excellent mechanical strength and ductility, low price, and usability such as light weight and high conductivity.
The aluminum foil used for the positive electrode of the lithium ion battery at present is mainly photo foil, corrosion aluminum foil and coating aluminum foil. The smooth surface of the optical foil has limited contact area with the positive electrode material, so that the problems of high interface resistance, separation of the positive electrode material and the aluminum foil and the like are easily caused, and the performance of the battery is influenced.
Although the specific surface area of the aluminum foil can be obviously increased by corroding the surface of the aluminum foil, the corrosion process is often complex, the corrosion solution and the added current are needed to assist, the aluminum oxide passivation layer on the surface of the aluminum foil is also needed to be broken down, the process is complex, and the mechanical strength of the aluminum foil is easy to be reduced. CN109609997a discloses a method for preparing an etched aluminum foil, which comprises placing the aluminum foil in an electrolyte, applying alternating current to perform hole distribution etching, and breaking down a passivation film on the surface of the aluminum foil to perform deeper etching.
CN113422065a discloses a preparation method of a molybdenum carbide coating aluminum foil, wherein molybdenum carbide has excellent conductivity and is used for improving the conductivity of the coating aluminum foil, while a molybdenum carbide coating is adhered to the surface of the aluminum foil mainly by using polyacrylonitrile as a binder, and the polyacrylonitrile is used as a high polymer material, so that the conductivity of the molybdenum carbide coating is obviously lower than that of the molybdenum carbide coating, and the conductivity of the molybdenum carbide coating is obviously reduced. Graphene is considered as a star material in the 21 st century, has a unique two-dimensional atomic crystal with a honeycomb structure, shows excellent mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical and other properties, has ultrahigh electron mobility and lowest resistivity at normal temperature, is the material with the lowest resistivity in the world at present, and has important application prospects in various fields such as materials, energy sources and the like.
The preparation method of the Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) is a method for preparing the graphene with the three-dimensional structure by adopting a radio frequency plasma body to assist in chemical vapor deposition reaction, and can realize long-time continuous growth of raw materials by combining a roll-to-roll technology. The method utilizes plasma to effectively crack precursor molecules, reduces chemical reaction potential barrier, and enables the whole reaction system to realize film forming reaction at a lower temperature.
Therefore, a method for improving the conductivity of the surface coating of the aluminum foil and improving the interfacial adhesion between the coating and the aluminum foil is needed, and has important significance for improving the performance of the lithium ion battery.

Therefore, when graphene is grown by subsequent vapor deposition, the cracked carbon is easy to form a C-O-Al covalent bond with oxygen in alumina, and the C-O-Al covalent bond remarkably improves the interfacial adhesion between the graphene layer and the aluminum foil and improves the peeling strength of the graphene layer.
