Background
In the prior art, the negative electrode current collector generally includes an insulating support layer and copper metal layers disposed on both surfaces of the insulating support layer.

And the conductive polymer layer is formed in a coating mode, so that the production efficiency is improved. And the conductive polymer layer is positioned between the metal layer and the supporting layer, so that the flow guide requirement of the current collector can be met.

Detailed Description
In the preparation of composite current collectors, a metal layer is typically formed on an insulating support layer. The material of the insulating support layer may be Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film, Cast Polypropylene (CPP) film, Polyethylene (PE) film, Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) film, Polystyrene (PS) film, Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) film, one of a fluorinated ethylene propylene resin (FEP) film, a Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film, a Polytetrafluoroethylene terephthalate (PEN) film, a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film, a Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film, a Polyphenylene sulfone resin (PPSU) film, a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) film, and a polyether sulfone resin (PES) film.
The thickness of the insulating support layer is 2-30 μm. For example: the thickness of the insulating support layer 110 is 2 μm, 4 μm, 6 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, or 30 μm.
If a thicker metal layer is formed on the insulating support layer by electroplating, the production cost is reduced. It is necessary to form a metal layer on the insulating support layer by Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) to form a conductive base film, and then to form a metal layer by electroplating to increase the thickness of the metal layer. However, when a thin metal layer is formed by PVD (high temperature), thermal damage (thin thickness of the insulating support layer and high molecular material) is easily caused to the insulating support layer, thereby causing a via hole.
Therefore, fig. 1 is a schematic view of a layer structure of the composite current collector provided in the embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, in the present application, a conductive polymer layer is formed on an insulating support layer 110 by coating, and then a metal layer is formed on the conductive polymer layer by electroplating, so that a thin metal layer is not required to be formed by physical vapor deposition, and the support layer is prevented from being perforated. And the price of the conductive polymer material is lower than that of metal copper, so that the cost can be reduced to a certain extent. And the conductive polymer layer is formed in a coating mode, so that the production efficiency is improved.
In the embodiment of the present application, an electrically conductive polymer paste is coated on at least one surface of the insulating support layer 110 to form an electrically conductive polymer layer. A metal layer is formed on the surface of the conductive polymer layer facing away from the insulating support layer 110 by electroplating.
The insulating support layer 110 has a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 along the thickness direction, and in one embodiment, the first surface 111 of the insulating support layer 110 is coated with conductive polymer paste to form a conductive polymer layer, and a metal layer is formed on the surface of the conductive polymer layer facing away from the insulating support layer 110. In another embodiment, the first conductive polymer layer 120 is formed by coating the first surface 111 of the insulating support layer 110 with a conductive polymer paste, the second conductive polymer layer 130 is formed by coating the second surface 112 of the insulating support layer 110 with a conductive polymer paste, the first metal layer 140 is formed on the surface of the first conductive polymer layer 120 facing away from the insulating support layer 110, and the second metal layer 150 is formed on the surface of the second conductive polymer layer 130 facing away from the insulating support layer 110.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to make the bonding force between the insulating support layer 110 and the conductive polymer layer and the bonding force between the conductive polymer layer and the metal layer stronger, the conductive polymer material in the conductive polymer slurry is polyacetylene doped with iodine, and the material of the insulating support layer 110 is a BOPP material. Alternatively, iodine doped polyacetylene is a material currently on the market.
In other embodiments, the conductive polymer material in the conductive polymer paste may also be polyaniline doped with protonic acid, polypyrrole doped with anions, etc., and the application is not limited as long as the conductive polymer material capable of being made into the conductive polymer paste and coated on the insulating support layer 110 to form the conductive polymer layer is within the protection scope of the application.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the conductive polymer layer is formed by coating the conductive polymer paste on the insulating support layer 110 and then drying. High-temperature treatment is not needed when the conductive polymer layer is formed, so that the insulating support layer 110 can be prevented from being thermally damaged, and the perforation of the composite current collector can be avoided.
In order to increase the bonding force between the insulating support layer 110 and the conductive polymer layer, the conductive polymer paste includes a conductive polymer material and a conductive paste.

In the embodiment of the present application, the conductive polymer layer is formed as follows: the running speed of the insulating support layer 110 (film) at the time of coating is 20-100m/min, and the drying temperature after coating is 55-160 c, to form a dry conductive polymer layer having strong adhesion on the insulating support layer 110.
In some possible embodiments, the running speed of the membrane is 20m/min, 30m/min, 40m/min, 50m/min, 60m/min, 70m/min, 80m/min, 90m/min, or 100 m/min; the drying temperature after coating is 55 deg.C, 60 deg.C, 80 deg.C, 100 deg.C, 120 deg.C or 160 deg.C.

In order to ensure the conductivity of the conductive polymer layer so that the conductive polymer layer and the insulating support layer 110 together serve as a base material for plating, sufficient conductivity can be provided. The thickness of the conductive polymer layer is 30-100nm, and the metal layer is formed by acid plating.

In some possible embodiments, the thickness of the conductive polymer layer is 30nm, 40nm, 50nm, 60nm, 70nm, 80nm, 90nm, or 100 nm.
In another embodiment, the thickness of the conductive polymer layer is 10-15nm (e.g., 10nm, 12nm or 15nm), a first metal layer with a thickness of 100-120nm (e.g., 100nm, 110nm or 120nm) is formed on the surface of the conductive polymer layer by means of alkalinity, and then a second metal layer with a thickness of 0.8-2 μm (e.g., 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm or 2 μm) is formed on the surface of the first metal layer by means of acidity.

Optionally, the thickness of the positive electrode metal layer is 0.2-4 μm. For example: the thickness of the positive electrode metal layer is 0.2 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, or 4 μm.
In other embodiments, the metal layer may be formed in other manners, such as: in the PVD magnetron sputtering method, due to the arrangement of the polymer layer, the insulating support layer 110 may be protected to a certain extent, and in the process of forming the metal layer by the PVD magnetron sputtering method, thermal damage to the insulating support layer 110 may also be avoided to a certain extent.
The composite current collector prepared by the above method includes an insulating support layer 110, a conductive polymer layer, and a metal layer. Of course, the application is not limited to the conductive polymer layer formed by coating, and the conductive polymer layer formed by other methods may also be used, so long as the conductive polymer layer formed without causing thermal damage to the insulating support layer 110 is within the protection scope of the application.
In this application, the conductive polymer layer is disposed on at least one surface (one surface or both surfaces) of the insulating support layer 110, and the metal layer is disposed on a surface of the conductive polymer layer facing away from the insulating support layer 110.
The composite current collector is a novel composite current collector, and the conductive part of the composite current collector is also provided with a conductive polymer layer besides the metal layer, and the conductive polymer layer is positioned between the metal layer and the supporting layer, so that the flow guide requirement of the current collector can be met. And the price of the conductive polymer material is lower than that of metal copper, so that the cost can be reduced to a certain extent. And the conductive polymer layer is formed by coating (or other low-temperature treatment), so that thermal damage to the insulating support layer 110 can be avoided, and the production efficiency is improved.
