Copper foil and aluminum foil have the advantages of good electrical conductivity, formed oxidation protective film, soft texture, good adhesion, mature manufacturing process, and relatively low price.
Therefore, they are selected as the main materials for lithium battery current collectors. The positive potential of the lithium battery is high, and the oxide layer of the aluminum foil is relatively dense, which can prevent the oxidation of the current collector, while copper will undergo a lithium intercalation reaction at a high potential, so it is not suitable for use as a positive current collector.
Copper foil is a thin, continuous metal foil deposited on the substrate layer of the circuit board. As a conductor of PCB, copper foil is easily bonded to the insulating layer, accepts the printed protective layer, and forms a circuit pattern after corrosion.
Copper foil has low surface oxygen characteristics, can be attached to various substrates, such as metals, insulating materials, etc., and has a wide temperature range. Mainly used in electromagnetic shielding and antistatic, the conductive copper foil is placed on the substrate surface, combined with the metal substrate, it has excellent conductivity and provides the effect of electromagnetic shielding.
