Problems solved by technology

The currently widely used carbon black has disadvantages such as poor conductivity, difficult dispersion, weak coating strength and bonding strength between the coating and the substrate, and thick coating.
Although the new carbon nanomaterials graphene and carbon nanotubes have good electrical conductivity, they also have disadvantages such as difficult dispersion, anisotropy, and high price.

Embodiment 1

[0034] (1) Preparation of three-dimensional graphene dispersion: select sodium deoxycholate as a dispersant, dissolve a certain amount of sodium deoxycholate in a certain amount of water, then add a certain amount of three-dimensional graphene powder, and stir at a speed of 1200r / min 2h, stir well and evenly to prepare a three-dimensional graphene dispersion. During this process, the concentrations of three-dimensional graphene powder and sodium deoxycholate in the dispersion were 8% and 1%, respectively. Then inject the above-mentioned three-dimensional graphene dispersion liquid into a sand mill for sand milling, the speed of the sand mill is 1500r / min, and the sand milling time is 2h. Subsequently, the dispersion liquid was sieved to remove large particles, and the mesh number of the sieve was 800 mesh. The three-dimensional graphene powder is uniformly dispersed and the particle size is small by sand milling, and the particle size D of the slurry is detected by a laser pa...

Embodiment 2

[0041] In this embodiment, the difference is that there is no sanding treatment step with a sand mill, and other processing steps and parameters are the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0042] The test shows that the prepared slurry particle size D of the present embodiment 50 Around 500nm, thicker than Example 1. Figure 5 The SEM photo of the carbon-coated aluminum foil prepared under the above conditions, it can be seen that in this example, due to no pre-dispersion by sanding, the particles of the slurry are relatively large, the distribution of the carbon-coated layer is uneven, and there is a large foil leakage phenomenon , which shows that the sand milling procedure is helpful for the dispersion of three-dimensional graphene powder, effectively reduces the particle size, increases the uniformity of dispersion, and improves the fluidity and film-forming properties of the slurry, thereby effectively avoiding the adhesion between the binder and the three-dimensional graphene pow...

Embodiment 3

[0044] In this embodiment, the difference is that the content of polyacrylic acid in the three-dimensional graphene powder slurry is increased to 4%, and other conditions are the same as in embodiment 1.

[0045] Figure 6 It is the SEM photo of the carbon-coated aluminum foil prepared in this example. Observations show that the three-dimensional graphene powder is seriously wrapped by the binder, and the exposure of the graphene powder is reduced. The areal density of the coating increases significantly, resulting in increased weight and thicker coatings. Tests show that, compared with Example 1, the bonding strength between the active material coating and the carbon-coated current collector in the final positive electrode sheet is not significantly improved. This is because the unique structure of three-dimensional graphene powder can effectively improve the bonding strength, and increasing the amount of binder does not contribute much to the improvement of bonding strengt...

Abstract

The invention discloses a carbon-coated current collector coated with three-dimensional graphene powder and a preparation method of the carbon-coated current collector, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing the three-dimensional graphene powder, an adhesive and a dispersing agent in a proper solvent, and preparing three-dimensional graphene powder slurry through procedures of sanding, sieving and the like; and then uniformly coating a substrate such as an aluminum foil, a copper foil and the like with the three-dimensional graphene powder slurry to prepare the carbon-coated current collector. Compared with carbon black, the three-dimensional graphene powder coated current collector is higher in conductivity, coating strength and bonding strength, and can be madethinner. Compared with conventional flake graphene powder, the three-dimensional graphene powder coated current collector is higher in bonding strength, isotropic in coating performance, simpler in preparation process and higher in surface roughness, thereby being better combined with an active material. The specific capacity, the rate capability and the cycling stability of the lithium ion battery prepared by taking the aluminum foil coated with the three-dimensional graphene powder as the positive current collector are greatly superior to those of a current collector coated with carbon black.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of energy materials, in particular to a carbon-coated current collector coated with three-dimensional graphene powder and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, people have higher and higher performance requirements for lithium-ion batteries, such as higher specific capacity, better rate performance and better cycle stability. The main components of lithium-ion batteries include active materials, separators, electrolytes, and current collectors. These factors have a great impact on the performance of batteries, and current collectors are less studied. Conventionally, copper foil is used for negative electrode current collector of lithium ion battery, and aluminum foil is used for positive electrode current collector. Since the rolling surface of general metal foil is relatively smooth, some problems will oc...
