The composite aluminum current collector represents a significant advancement in battery technology, addressing two crucial issues: energy density and safety concerns. This innovative collector distinguishes itself from its conventional counterparts by incorporating a “metal-polymer-metal” triple-layered composite structure. At its heart is an exceptionally lightweight polymer film, approximately 6 μm thick, consisting of materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polyimide (PI). This polymer core is flanked by two ultra-thin aluminum layers, each about 1 μm thick. By combining the benefits of lightweight construction with enhanced safety features and superior performance, the composite aluminum current collector emerges as an essential component for the next generation of high-energy, high-safety lithium-ion batteries.
