CURRENT COLLECTOR FOR LITHIUM BATTERY

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to battery technology, and more specifically relate to current collectors and uses thereof. In an aspect, a current collector is provided. The current collector includes a first component comprising a carbon nanotube; and a second component comprising a boron-nitride nanotube, wherein the first component is coupled to the second component. In another aspect, a battery of the present disclosure includes an electrode; and a current collector disposed over at least a portion of the electrode, the current collector comprising: a first fiber comprising a carbon nanotube, a boron-nitride nanotube, or a combination thereof; and a second fiber comprising a carbon nanotube, a boron-nitride nanotube, or a combination thereof, wherein an amount of boron-nitride nanotube in the current collector is about 20 wt % or more based on a total weight of the carbon nanotube and the boron-nitride nanotube in the current collector.
