Abstract
Current collectors (CCs) in batteries provide a path through which current flows and hold the electrode active materials in the cathode and anode on its surface. CCs have the role of maintaining electronic contact between the electrode active materials and themselves. Due to the recent demand for improved battery performance, along with the functions mentioned above, the CCs are increasingly involved in improving the battery's energy and power density, input/output characteristics, and safety. In addition, research on various types of batteries is being conducted to meet the demand for producing batteries using elements that are abundant on the earth, with the aim of improving battery performance and lowering their price. CCs for cathodes and anodes compatible with these batteries need to be considered from various viewpoints. In this chapter, the types and problems of current CCs in lithium-ion batteries presently in use, as well as the requirements for CCs used in next-generation batteries, are discussed.
