Description

Composite copper foil, preparation method thereof and lithium ion secondary battery
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of surface treatment, and more particularly, to a composite copper foil constituting a current collector of an electrode of a lithium ion secondary battery, a method of preparing the same, and a lithium ion secondary battery of a nonaqueous electrolyte.
Background
This section provides background information related to the present application, which does not necessarily constitute prior art.
The negative electrode current collector of the nonaqueous electrolyte lithium ion secondary battery generally employs a copper foil, the surface of which is coated with carbon particles as a negative electrode active material layer. The copper foil as the negative electrode current collector for lithium ion secondary batteries is produced by adding various water-soluble polymer substances, various surfactants, various organic sulfur compounds, chloride ions, and the like to a copper sulfate-sulfuric acid electrolyte solution as appropriate.
The surface of the electrolytic copper foil manufactured by the above-described manufacturing method is coated with carbon particles and dried, and then is pressed, to finally form a negative electrode. The tensile strength of the electrolytic copper foil is generally 300-350N/mm 2 When the copper foil is used as a copper foil for a negative electrode containing carbon particles as an active material, an appropriate elongation can be obtained, and the copper foil is a suitable material.
In order to further increase the capacity of a lithium ion secondary battery, a lithium ion secondary battery using silicon which is electrochemically alloyed with lithium at the time of charging as a negative electrode active material has been proposed, and conventionally, a powdered silicon or silicon compound is formed into a slurry with a binder by using an organic solvent, and then coated on an electrolytic copper foil, dried, and pressed. However, in such an electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery, the silicon active material absorbs lithium ions during charging and expands its volume about 4 times, and releases lithium ions during discharging and contracts. Therefore, there occurs a phenomenon in which the silicon active material is finely pulverized and peeled off from the surface of the electrolytic copper foil due to expansion and contraction of the volume of the active material layer caused by such charge and discharge, which causes a decrease in the cycle charge and discharge efficiency of the battery.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the technical problems in the prior art, the invention provides a composite copper foil which can be used as a current collector and can be applied to a lithium ion secondary battery instead of the existing electrolytic copper foil.
The present invention also provides a lithium ion secondary battery which can use a negative electrode in which an active material layer mainly composed of silicon is formed on a composite copper foil, and which is excellent in charge-discharge cycle performance.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: a composite copper foil comprising:
a substrate layer;
a copper layer formed on the surface of the base material layer;
a first copper plating layer formed on a surface of the copper layer;
a second copper plating layer formed on a surface of the first copper plating layer;
and a carbon layer formed on the surface of the second copper plating layer.
The method for manufacturing the composite copper foil comprises the following steps:
a step of preparing a copper foil on the surface of the base material layer; and
a carbon layer is deposited on the surface of the copper foil.
Wherein the copper foil comprises a second copper plating layer, a first copper plating layer and a copper layer which are laminated in sequence. In such a way that the tensile strength of the composite copper foil is not less than 300N/mm 2 In the case of (a), the thickness of the base layer is preferably 4 to 5 μm, the thickness of the copper layer is preferably 5 to 100nm, the thickness of the first copper plating layer is preferably 100 to 400nm, and the thickness of the second copper plating layer is preferably 500 to 1000nm from the viewpoint of reducing the overall thickness of the composite copper foil. The thickness is a value measured by analyzing a layer cross section using an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (TEM-EDX) by a transmission electron microscope.
In one or more embodiments, the copper foil of the composite copper foil has a thickness of 0.8-1 μm.
The composite copper foil formed by a combination of wet film forming methods such as electroless copper plating and electrolytic copper plating, physical vapor film forming methods such as sputtering and vacuum deposition, and chemical vapor film forming, and particularly preferably the copper layer is a copper thin film layer produced by sputtering. The copper foil produced by a combination of the sputtering method and the electrolytic copper plating method is preferable in terms of in-plane uniformity of film thickness and productivity in a sheet-like or roll-like state.
In one or more embodiments, an anti-rust treatment is performed on the surface of the copper foil before the carbon layer is formed on the surface of the copper foil.
In addition, the negative electrode of the lithium ion secondary battery provided by the invention takes the composite copper foil as a current collector, and an active material layer is formed on the surface of the current collector. In one or more embodiments, the active material layer is deposited on the current collector by mixing the active material, binder, and solvent, making the mixture into a slurry, and then coating, drying, and extruding the slurry. The active material layer is preferably formed of an active material containing carbon, silicon, germanium, or tin as a main component. The carbon layer of the composite copper foil provides enhanced adhesion between the copper foil and the active material layer.
The substrate layer in the composite copper foil provided by the invention can be regarded as a carrier, and the composite copper foil is in the form of a copper foil with a carrier, and in the case of an ultrathin copper foil, the handling property can be improved by adopting the copper foil with the carrier. In particular, when the copper foil is produced by vacuum deposition such as sputtering, the carrier-containing copper foil is preferably used. Examples of the carrier include a resin film such as a PET film, a PEN film, an aramid film, a polyimide film, a nylon film, and a liquid crystal polymer, and a metal-coated resin film having a metal coating layer on the resin film.
In one or more embodiments, the active material layer of the lithium ion secondary battery is formed of an active material mainly composed of silicon, and the base material layer of the composite copper foil applied to the lithium ion secondary battery is preferably a PET film.
The composite copper foil provided by the invention can form an extremely thin copper foil with a thickness of not more than 1 μm on the surface of a base material layer, but the extremely thin copper foil formed in this way has an extremely flat copper foil surface, so that it is not expected to secure high adhesion strength between the extremely thin copper foil and an active material layer by utilizing the anchor effect of the surface roughness of the copper foil. Thus, by forming a carbon layer on the surface of the copper foil, a copper foil with a surface treatment layer formed by standard ion chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or by sputtering can be obtained, so that the composite copper foil can achieve high adhesion strength with the active material layer and can reduce the contact resistance of the active material layer with the copper foil.

Detailed Description
It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a composite copper foil 10, which composite copper foil 10 uses a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film 11 as a base material layer, forms a copper layer 11 on the surface of the PET film 11 by an evaporation method such as sputtering, deposits a first copper plating layer 13 on the surface of the copper layer 11 by electroplating, and deposits a second copper plating layer 14 on the surface of the first copper plating layer 13 by electroplating. The laminated second copper plating layer 14, first copper plating layer 13 and copper layer 11 constitute copper foil, and a high surface energy copper foil is formed on the surface of the PET film 11 to increase wettability and improve tackiness so as to enhance the bonding ability of the carbon layer 15. The composite copper foil 10 has the above-described various layer structures in order so as to be vertically symmetrical on both surfaces of the base material layer 11.
The carbon layer 15 may be formed by amorphous carbon material deposited on the surface of the second copper plating layer 14 using existing deposition techniques, more specifically, the carbon layer 15 may be formed using existing polymer-form carbon material (PLC) and/or diamond-like carbon (DLC) material using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) or by sputtering the carbon layer 15 deposited on the surface of the second copper plating layer 14. It should be appreciated that when deposited using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) techniques, the carbon layer 15 may contain other elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen, or oxygen. The carbon layer 15 is formed from a thin layer of amorphous carbon. In this preferred embodiment, the thickness of the carbon layer 15 is preferably 10 to 100nm, and in this range, adhesion to the second copper plating layer 14 can be significantly improved and resistance can be reduced. The deposition of the carbon layer 15 enhances the adhesion durability of the subsequently applied active material layer to the copper foil.
The preparation method of the composite copper foil shown in fig. 1 is shown in fig. 2, and comprises the following steps:
s1, forming a copper layer on the surface of the PET film.
By the sputtering method, an extremely thin copper layer can be extremely well formed without impairing the flatness of the PET film surface. In the case of using the sputtering method, the sputtering method may be any of various known methods such as magnetron sputtering and bipolar sputtering, but magnetron sputtering is preferable in terms of high film forming speed and high productivity. The sputtering may be performed by either a DC (direct current) or RF (high frequency) power supply, and the reaching vacuum degree in the chamber before starting sputtering is preferably less than 1×10 -4 Pa. The gas used for sputtering is preferably an inert gas such as argon, and the most preferable gas is argon, and the flow rate of argon or the like is not particularly limited as long as it is appropriately determined according to the sputtering chamber size and the film forming conditions. In addition, from the viewpoint of maintaining continuous and stable film forming property without operation failure such as abnormal discharge or plasma irradiation failure, the pressure at the time of film forming is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 2.0 Pa. The pressure range may be set by adjusting the flow rate of the film forming power, argon gas, or the like according to the device configuration, capacity, exhaust capacity of the vacuum pump, rated capacity of the film forming power supply, or the like. In addition, the sputtering power is 0.05-10.0W/cm per unit area of the target in consideration of film thickness uniformity, productivity, etc 2 Is suitably set within the range of (2).
S2, electroplating is carried out on the surface of the copper layer to obtain a first copper plating layer.
The purpose of the deposition to form the first copper plating layer includes obtaining a surface excellent in flatness, and the plating solution used in this step is obtained by adding an additive a, an additive B, and chloride ions to a sulfuric acid-copper sulfate electrolyte. Wherein the additive A is more than one additive selected from thiourea or thiourea derivatives; the additive B is selected from one or more of thiourea or thiourea derivatives (such as thiourea, N '-dimethylthiourea, N' -diethylthiourea, tetramethylthiourea, thiosemicarbazide, N-allylthiourea, water-soluble thiourea such as ethylene thiourea, thiourea derivatives), polymer polysaccharides such as gelatin, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, starch, cellulose water-soluble polymers (such as carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose), polyethyleneimine, and polyacrylamide.
S3, performing activation treatment on the surface of the first copper plating layer.
The step uses an activating solution to activate the surface of the first copper plating layer, wherein the activating solution can comprise inorganic or organic acid, oxidant and additive. For example, the activating liquid includes sulfuric acid (the content of sulfuric acid is 5 to 7wt% relative to the total mass of the activating liquid), a corrosion inhibitor such as hydrogen peroxide, triazole, and a surfactant.
And S4, electroplating is carried out on the surface of the first copper plating layer to obtain a second copper plating layer.
The purpose of the deposition to form the second copper plating layer includes increasing the thickness of the copper foil by adding 3-thio-isothiouronium propylsulfonic acid, gelatin and chloride ions to the sulfuric acid-copper sulfate electrolyte. Gelatin can be regarded as a leveling agent, and during the electroplating process, gelatin can be adsorbed on the surface of a cathode (namely the second copper plating layer) to inhibit copper ions from reducing and refine grains, and the (220) crystal face of the second copper plating layer is preferential at room temperature; the 3-sulfur-isothiourea propyl sulfonic acid can be regarded as a brightening agent and a surfactant, and the 3-sulfur-isothiourea propyl sulfonic acid is adsorbed on the surface of a copper plating layer during electroplating and the sulfonic acid group is used for capturing Cu in an electrolyte 2+ And in Cl - Under the synergistic effect, the speed of obtaining electrons by copper ions is increased, the reduction efficiency is improved, and the 3-sulfur-isothiourea propyl sulfonic acid wets the cathode (namely the second copper plating layer), so that the mechanical property of the second copper plating layer is improved.
S5, performing rust prevention treatment on the surface of the second copper plating layer.
The adhesion strength to the carbon layer can be improved by subjecting the surface of the second copper plating layer to an anti-rust treatment, which may be an organic anti-rust treatment such as benzotriazole or a silane coupling agent treatment.
S6, forming a carbon layer with the thickness of 50nm on the surface of the second copper plating layer.
The amorphous carbon layer is formed by vapor phase film formation. The vapor deposition may be any of physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition. By using the vapor phase film formation, the oxygen and/or carbon content can be easily controlled, and film formation can be performed at a desired extremely thin thickness (10 to 100 nm) on the surface of the second copper plating layer. Therefore, it is preferable to manufacture a carbon layer having a carbon concentration of not less than 80 at% and an oxygen concentration of not more than 20 at%, and the concentration of atoms in the carbon layer is measured by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). When the carbon concentration and the oxygen concentration are within the above ranges, the adhesion to the active material layer can be significantly improved, and the mechanism is not specified, and the presence of oxygen atoms in the carbon layer to some extent contributes to the improvement of the adhesion to the active material layer. For physical vapor deposition, preferably used is at least 1 gas selected from the group consisting of methane, ethane, propane, butane, acetylene and tetraethoxysilane, more preferably methane or carbon dioxide (CO) 2 )。

[ lithium ion Secondary Battery production ]
The composite copper foil provided in examples 1 to 3, the electrolytic copper foil provided in comparative example 1, the rolled copper foil provided in comparative example 2, and the composite copper foil provided in comparative examples 3 to 10 were used as negative electrode current collectors, respectively.
As the anode active material particles, silicon powder (purity 99.9%) having an average particle diameter of 15 μm was used, and the anode active material particles, a conductive agent (graphite SFG-6), a binder (polyimide), and an organic solvent (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) were mixed at a weight ratio of 15:3:1:1 to prepare an anode coating slurry. Next, the negative electrode coating paste was applied to the negative electrode current collector, and dried to form a negative electrode active layer on both sides of the negative electrode current collector, and the electrode thickness at this time was 85 μm. Then, the negative electrode was produced by rolling with a rolling roller to an electrode thickness of 60 μm and then drying under reduced pressure.
LiCoO having an average particle diameter of 20 μm was used as the positive electrode active material particles 2 And (3) powder. The positive electrode active material particles, a conductive agent (artificial graphite), a binder (polyvinylidene fluoride) and an organic solvent (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) are mixed in a weight ratio of 90:5:3:2 mixing them to prepare a positive electrode coating slurry. Next, the positive electrode coating slurry was applied to a positive electrode current collector made of 15 μm aluminum foil, and dried and then rolled to prepare a positive electrode having positive electrode active layers formed on both sides of the positive electrode current collector.
In the production of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution, liPF was caused to occur in a mixed solvent in which ethylene carbonate and ethylene dicarbonate were mixed at a volume ratio of 3:7 6 Dissolving to 1mol/L concentration, and blowing carbon dioxide at 25deg.C for 10min to dissolve carbon dioxide to saturation.
When a lithium ion secondary battery is produced by using the negative electrode, the positive electrode and the nonaqueous electrolyte, a positive electrode collector sheet made of aluminum is attached to the positive electrode, and a negative electrode collector sheet made of nickel is attached to the negative electrode and wound back, so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode face each other with a separator made of a polyethylene porous body interposed therebetween, thereby producing an electrode body. Then, the electrode body is inserted into an exterior body made of an aluminum composite film, the nonaqueous electrolyte is added to the exterior body, and the positive electrode collector tab and the negative electrode collector tab are taken out to the outside, and the opening of the exterior body is sealed.
The charge and discharge characteristics of the above lithium ion secondary batteries at a temperature of 25 ℃ were tested by the following method:
(1) First coulombic efficiency
The lithium ion secondary battery was charged to 4.2V at a current value of 1000mA and then discharged to 2.75V at a current value of 1000mA in an environment of 25 c, and the first coulombic efficiency was calculated.
First coulombic efficiency (%) = [ discharge capacity (mAh/g)/charge capacity (mAh/g) ] x 100
(2) Charge-discharge cycle
After the initial charge and discharge test was performed, the charge and discharge were repeated for 500 cycles at the same current of 1000mA, and the discharge capacity retention rate after the cycle was calculated according to the following formula:
(retention rate of discharge capacity after cycle) = [ discharge capacity after cycle)/(maximum discharge capacity) ] ×100
Test data of charge and discharge characteristics of the lithium ion secondary battery are shown in table 1.
Further, the discharge capacity retention after 100 cycles was calculated according to the following formula.
(retention rate of discharge capacity after cycle) = [ discharge capacity after cycle)/(maximum discharge capacity) ] ×100
The lithium ion secondary batteries after the disassembly cycle were examined for the absence of wrinkles in the negative electrode current collector of each negative electrode, and the results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
When the anode active material particles are silicon, the silicon active material absorbs lithium ions during charging and expands its volume about 4 times, and releases lithium ions during discharging and contracts it. Because the volume expansion of the silicon material in the charge and discharge process is larger than that of the carbon material in the charge and discharge process, the phenomenon that the silicon material is peeled off from the negative electrode current collector due to the expansion and contraction of the silicon material volume caused by charge and discharge needs to be avoided, and meanwhile, the phenomenon that the negative electrode current collector generates larger stress and wrinkles due to the expansion and contraction of the silicon material volume caused by charge and discharge needs to be avoided. When the silicon material is peeled off from the negative electrode current collector, a decrease in the discharge capacity retention rate of the lithium ion secondary battery occurs. When the negative electrode current collector is deformed such as creased, a problem that the positive electrode and the negative electrode are easily short-circuited occurs. As can be seen from the results of table 1, the use of the composite copper foil of the example of the present invention as a negative electrode current collector can provide a lithium ion secondary battery which can suppress the occurrence of deformation such as wrinkling due to charge and discharge, prevent the occurrence of short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the lithium ion secondary battery, and can maintain a high discharge capacity retention rate even 500 repeated charge and discharge cycles even with the use of the composite copper foil of the example of the present invention as a negative electrode current collector, and has a long life.
In addition, although the example of the present invention describes the case where the active material is silicon, even when an active material containing silicon oxide, carbon, or tin as a main component is used, it is possible to provide a lithium ion secondary battery which can suppress deformation of the negative electrode current collector due to charge and discharge, prevent the occurrence of short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the lithium ion secondary battery, does not reduce the capacity even when charge and discharge cycles are repeated, has a long life, and can be miniaturized.
The composite copper foil of the examples of the present invention may also be laminated with a rigid or flexible insulating substrate for use as a printed circuit substrate.
The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
The above examples illustrate only a few embodiments of the invention, which are described in detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, which are all within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present invention is to be determined by the appended claims.
