The metal foil of lithium-ion batteries is made of ultra-thin and high-purity metal sheets, which can be used as a structural carrier for current collectors and electrode materials. Such foils require precise control of the balance between conductivity, mechanical strength and electrochemical stability to ensure that the battery maintains high efficiency over thousands of charge and discharge cycles.
In general, the selection and process design of metal foils are the key to the performance of lithium-ion batteries, which are related to conductivity, battery stability, production feasibility and cost control. From copper and aluminum (the mainstream materials of current commercial batteries) to new stainless steel, nickel and special alloys, various types of foils are developed for specific technical requirements and application scenarios. As battery technology moves towards higher energy density, longer cycle life and stronger safety assurance, the research and development of metal foil materials and innovation in processing technology will continue to be the core elements driving the development of the industry.
