An Approach to Make Macroporous Metal Sheets as Current Collectors for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Jun 23 , 2021
The freestanding, laminated film was sintered in air by increasing the temperature of the furnace at a slow rate to 1000°C, holding at1000°C for 1 h, and then decreasing the temperature at a rate of5°C/min to room temperature. This high temperature treatment was done to completely burn all carbon and organic materials to generate a porous structure and to simultaneously allow CuO particles to conn...
