Hongqing Hao and Rui Tan contributed equally to this study. The current collector is a crucial component in lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitor setups, responsible for gathering electrons from electrode materials and directing them into the external circuit.
In conclusion, the potential of carbon-coated current collectors aligns with the broader trends in technology and sustainability, ushering in an era of lightweight, flexible and high-performance batteries poised to revolutionize how we power our devices and our daily lives.
Conventional current collectors, Al and Cu foils have been used since the first commercial lithium-ion battery, and over the past two decades, the thickness of these current collectors has decreased in order to increase the energy density.
The current collectors play a direct role in the heat transfer from internal batteries to the external environment. Current collectors with efficient heat dissipation ensure the elimination of locally accumulated heat and effectively reduce the elevated temperature to mitigate thermal runaways of batteries.
The surface/interface of current collectors in lithium batteries is gradually becoming one of the key factors to improve the overall performance. The thickness, material composition, surface morphology, and intrinsic properties of current collectors are crucial for understanding chemo-mechanical changes during electrochemical reactions.
