Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of making a battery current collector foil includes heat treating a foil sheet and mechanically roughening the heat treated foil sheet to create a surface roughness of between 2-4 μm. The heat treating and mechanical roughening of the foil sheet provides improved coating adhesion. One of an anode and cathode coating is then applied to the roughened, heat treated, foil sheet.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of making a battery current collector foil sheet, comprising: heat treating and mechanically roughening a foil sheet by at least one heated roller to create a nominal surface roughness of between 2-4 μm, increasing oxidation of the foil sheet by flowing air through perforations in the heated roller onto the foil sheet; and applying one of an anode and cathode coating to the roughened, heat treated, foil sheet, wherein the applying one of an anode and cathode coating includes lithium metal dipping. 2. The method of making a battery current collector foil sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the heat treating is performed at a temperature of between 300-400° C. 3. The method of making a battery current collector foil sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the applying one of an anode and cathode coating further includes a slurry coating.
