Lithium-ion battery foil 
 

 

I. Overview

Lithium-ion battery foil is a key material used in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries. It is usually made of aluminum foil or copper foil and is mainly used as a current collector for the positive and negative electrodes of the battery. Its excellent conductivity, chemical stability and mechanical strength ensure the efficient energy transmission and long-term stability of lithium-ion batteries. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, energy storage equipment and consumer electronics markets, the demand for high-quality battery foil continues to grow.

 

II. What is lithium-ion battery foil?

Lithium-ion battery foil is an ultra-thin metal foil material, usually made of high-purity aluminum or copper, which is used inside the battery after precision processing. Its main function is to collect and transmit electrons to ensure that the battery operates efficiently during charging and discharging. Aluminum foil is generally used for the positive electrode, while copper foil is used for the negative electrode.

 

III. Main features of lithium-ion battery foil

Excellent conductivity: ensure rapid transmission of electrons inside the battery and improve energy conversion efficiency.

Good corrosion resistance: adapt to the internal chemical environment of the battery, prevent oxidation and corrosion, and increase service life.

Extremely high surface quality requirements: The surface must be free of dark spots, bright spots, black oil lines, pitting and other defects to ensure uniformity of battery coating and improve the overall performance of the battery.

Mechanical strength and toughness: It has a certain strength and can adapt to the battery winding, lamination and other manufacturing processes.
