The fabrication process of porous copper (Cu) current collectors having the pore diameter (3-50 µm) and the rate of opening area (1-4%) was developed with a system constructed with a pico-second pulse laser and a polygon mirror. The fabricated porous Cu current collectors were used to evaluate the porous design on the Cu current collector for exhibiting higher Li + doping reaction rate with cells in which graphite electrodes were laminated with separators and the laminated graphite anode opposites to Li metal through a separator. It was found in this study that the conditions of hole diameter (5 µm) and the rate of opening area (1%) is the best one to realize high Li + doping rate and that the rate determining step of the pre-doping reaction is the diffusion of Li + ion in the pore of the Cu porous current collectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
