Abstract

The CNTs/metal composite film with excellent electrical conductivity was prepared by magnetron sputtering technique. the electrical conductivity of the CNTs/metal composite film can reach 10 times than that of the as-prepared CNT macrofilm (CMF, 300 S·cm^-1). In addition, a flexible LIBs with this film as the current collector was prepared, which, in comparison with the flexible LIBs with the simple CNTs film, presents higher rate capability. Moreover, its specific capacity can still be maintained at 132.6 mAh·g^-1 at a rate of 5 C, high-rate cycling performance i.e. 74.4% capacity retention rate after 200 cycles at 5 C rate, and larger output current up to 0.4 A.

Key words: composite flexible lithium-ion batteries high output current surface metallization carbon nanotube
