This composite current collector requires careful handling to preserve the polymer functional layer integrity and interlayer adhesion. Electrolyte compatibility and thermal shutdown performance must be verified under specified conditions to prevent delamination or electrical failure.

  • Electrolyte Stability: Immersion in 1 mol/L LiPF6 electrolyte at 60°C for 7 days must not cause delamination, corrosion, or resistance change exceeding 5%.
  • Thermal Shutdown: The polymer layer must melt and break the circuit when exposed to temperatures between 120°C and 280°C.
  • Mechanical Integrity: Interlayer peel strength must be at least 1.2 N/mm to prevent separation during battery assembly or cycling.
  • Surface Conductivity: Surface resistance must not exceed 0.05 ohm/sq to ensure adequate current collection.
  • Thermal Shrinkage: Thermal shrinkage after 30 minutes at 150°C must be ≤0.9% in MD and ≤0.7% in TD to maintain dimensional stability.

What is the impact of the 3 μm polymer functional layer on the thermal shutdown behavior of this double-sided composite aluminum foil current collector?

The polymer layer is designed to melt and break the circuit between 120°C and 280°C, providing thermal shutdown capability. The 3 μm thickness ensures effective shutdown while maintaining interlayer peel strength ≥1.2 N/mm and surface resistance ≤0.05 ohm/sq.

Is this double-sided composite aluminum current collector compatible with standard LiPF6-based electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries?

Yes. The product has been tested for electrolyte stability at 60°C in 1 mol/L LiPF6 electrolyte for 7 days with no delamination or corrosion and a resistance change ≤5%. This confirms compatibility with common lithium-ion battery electrolytes.

What temperature range should be avoided during processing or operation to prevent premature polymer melting?

The polymer functional layer in this current collector begins to melt and shut down the circuit at 120°C, with complete shutdown up to 280°C. Extended exposure above 120°C may trigger shutdown; the long-term heat resistance is rated at ≥120°C. For normal operation, temperatures should remain below 120°C to avoid activation.

Double-sided composite aluminum foil current collector with symmetric Al/polymer/Al structure offers ≥165 MPa tensile strength, ≤0.05 ohm/sq surface resistance, and electrolyte stability (60°C, 7 days, ≤5% resistance change). Thermal shutdown between 120–280°C provides safety but limits high-temperature operation.

Positive

  • High mechanical and peel strength: Longitudinal tensile strength ≥165 MPa and interlayer peel strength ≥1.2 N/mm ensure structural integrity during battery assembly and cycling.
  • Low surface resistance and high oxidation potential: Surface resistance ≤0.05 ohm/sq and oxidation potential ≥4.8 V vs Li/Li+ enable efficient electron transport and compatibility with high-voltage cathode materials.

Trade-offs

  • Thermal shutdown limits operating range: The polymer functional layer melts and breaks the circuit between 120–280°C, making the foil non-conductive at elevated temperatures and unsuitable for high-temperature battery applications.
  • Specification confirmation required before procurement: Target layer thickness, width, and mechanical/electrical requirements must be confirmed with the supplier before quotation, adding lead time and design-in effort.
