▎ 摘  要

When used as a current collector, aluminum foil (AF) is vulnerable to local anodic corrosion during the charge/discharge process, which can lead to the deterioration of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, a graphene foil (GF) with high electrical conductivity (similar to 5800 S cm(-1)) and low mass density (1.80 g cm(-3)) was prepared by reduction of graphene oxide foil with ultra-high temperature (2800 degrees C) annealing, and it exhibited significantly anodic corrosion resistance when serving as a current collector. Moreover, a LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 (NCM523) cathode using GF as a current collector (NCM523/GF) demonstrated a gravimetric capacity of 137.3 mAh g(-1) at 0.5 C based on the mass of the whole electrode consisting of the active material, carbon black, binder, and the current collector, which is 44.5% higher than that of the NCM523/AF electrode. Furthermore, the NCM523/GF electrode retains higher capacity at relatively faster rates, from 0.1 C to 5.0 C. Therefore, GF, a lightweight corrosion-resistant current collector, is expected to replace the current commercial metal current collectors in LIBs and to achieve high energy-density batteries.
