Description
Electrolytic copper foil is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries and mainly serves as the negative electrode current collector. It has good conductivity, flexibility, a mature manufacturing process, and a relatively low price. The weight of copper foil accounts for approximately 13% of the total mass of a typical lithium battery, and the cost accounts for about 8%.
According to thickness classification, electrolytic copper foil can be divided into thin copper foil (12-18??m), ultra-thin (6-12??m), and extremely thin (??6??m). Extremely thin copper foil increases the energy density of lithium batteries. Currently, 4.5-micron copper foil has begun mass production.
