Problems solved by technology

Moreover, such an oxide film is generally poor in adhesion to carbon (C), so even if a carbon intermediate film is formed on the surface of the current collector as in the inventions of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the carbon (C) film will still occur along with charging and discharging. The problem of peeling off the carbon interlayer from the current collector
In addition, if the carbon intermediate film is peeled off from the current collector in this way, the active material layer covered on it is also peeled off at the same time, so it also becomes a factor of reduced battery life.
Therefore, the inventions of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 cannot improve the adhesion of the interface between the current collector and the active material layer.

Abstract

Disclosed is a positive electrode current collector for a lithium ion secondary battery, which is characterized by comprising an aluminum foil comprising pure aluminum or an aluminum alloy and a surface layer formed on one surface or both surfaces of the aluminum foil, wherein the surface layer contains C in an amount of 10 to 95 at.% and additionally contains at least one element selected from Group 4 to Group 6 elements in an amount of 5 to 90 at.%. Also disclosed is a positive electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery, which is characterized by having a positive electrode active material layer that covers the surface layer of the positive electrode current collector for a lithium ion secondary battery. It becomes possible to prevent the elution of the current collector into an electrolytic solution to improve the adhesion between the current collector and the active material in the interface therebetween and increase the service life of a battery.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a positive electrode current collector used in a lithium ion secondary battery, a positive electrode and a method for manufacturing the positive electrode current collector. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the miniaturization and high performance of mobile devices, the energy density (charge and discharge capacity) of the secondary batteries mounted on the mobile devices has been increasing. Among them, lithium-ion secondary batteries (hereinafter referred to as secondary batteries, as appropriate) are compared with nickel-cadmium secondary batteries and nickel-hydrogen secondary batteries, so they show higher voltage and higher energy density, so they are beginning to be widely used Used as a power source for mobile devices. In addition, with the increase in environmental awareness, it is expected to shift from cars using current fossil fuels to CO 2 As electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles with low em...
