In this work, we use ultrasonication and chemical etching agents to assist preparation of metal current collectors with nano-scale pores on the surface. Four different current collectors (copper foil, copper foam, aluminum foil, and aluminum foam) are prepared. The preparation parameters, ultrasonic time and etching agent concentration, are investigated and optimized accordingly. The morphologies of the as-prepared current collectors are observed under a scanning electronic microscope. Soft-packed lithium ion batteries with various current collectors are fabricated and tested. The prepared lithium ion batteries show good long-term cycle stability. The nanoporous structure of the current collector has little impact on the improvement of battery capacity under slow charging/discharging rates but has a positive impact on capacity retention under fast charging/discharging rates.

Electrodes were fabricated using a perforated aluminum current collector and a standard aluminum foil, and the relationship between the electrochemical performance of the battery and the current collector was investigated. The perforated aluminum foil improved the contact characteristics between the cathode materials particles and the current collector. Also, electrochemical performance indicators such discharge capacity and rate characteristics were improved due to the increased adhesion of the electrode using the perforated current collector.

AbstractThe current collector fracture failure of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) occurs during its winding production process frequently, and the consequent damages are usually large, but little research has been conducted on this phenomenon. This work stems from the difficulty and obstacles in the winding process of actual production of LIBs. The fracture failure of the current collectors is easily caused by the evolution and mutation of the mechanical behavior during the winding process, resulting in safety hazards and poor efficiency. The purpose of this work is to reveal the evolution and distribution mechanism of circumferential strain of the current collectors on the fracture failure under the constraint of winding process. Experimental tests, finite element calculations and theoretical model are used to study the evolution and distribution of circumferential strain. The dynamic evolution process of circumferential strain is tested accurately, and the mechanism of fracture failure of current collectors is revealed. The criterion for current collector strength is proposed based on the results of strain analysis and SEM observation.
