As a current collector for lithium-ion batteries, composite copper foil does not affect the electrochemical reaction in the battery, which endows wide applicability.
According to the calculation of a battery with an energy density of 200 Wh/kg, copper foil accounts for about 8% of the total weight. The energy density of batteries by using composite copper foil as anode current collector can be increased by about 5% (Fig. 5 f). 3.2.2. Improving safety performance
In terms of current collectors, the most important thing is to reduce the thickness and weight of current collectors, intuitively reducing the volume and weight of batteries. There are three reasons why aluminum foil is used for the cathode electrode and copper foil is used for the anode electrode of lithium-ion batteries:
The thickness requirement for copper aluminum foil used in lithium batteries has been met with the rapid development of lithium batteries in recent years, and the development of current collectors for lithium batteries has also been rapid. The cathode electrode aluminum foil has been reduced from 16um in previous years to 14um, and then to 12um.
Composite copper foil with a sandwich structure can significantly reduce the weight of the current collector, thereby enlarging the energy density of the battery. In addition, the rough surface of composite copper foil can enhance the bonding strength between current collector and active material.
With the emphasis on the key perspectives, the paper will provide valuable inspiration for the rapid development of composite copper foil to advance high-energy density lithium-ion batteries.
Copper foil serves as a current collector in lithium-ion batteries, acting as a substrate for the anode active material. The quality and properties of this foil directly influence the battery''s performance, longevity, and safety.
