  • Patent number: 10985378
    Abstract: An electrolyzed copper foil and a current collector of an energy storage device are provided. The electrolyzed copper foil includes a transition layer and a nano-twin copper layer formed on the transition layer. The transition layer has an equiaxial grain of a (111) plane having a volume ratio of 20-40%, a (200) plane having a volume ratio of 20-40%, and a (220) plane having a volume ratio of 20-40%. A thickness of the transition layer is 0.2 ?m to 1.5 ?m. The nano-twin copper layer has a columnar grain of the (111) plane having a volume ratio of more than 85%, and a thickness of the nano-twin copper layer is 3 ?m to 30 ?m.

  • Publication number: 20200080214
    Abstract: A copper foil and a manufacturing method of the same, and a current collector of an energy storage device are provided. The manufacturing method includes forming a copper foil by direct-current electroplating on a surface of a cathode and separating the copper foil from the cathode after the electroplating, wherein the structure of the copper foil includes columnar grains of a (111) orientation having a volume ratio of 70% or more. The conditions of the direct-current electroplating include performing at a range of 35° C. to 55° C. using a plating solution containing 40 g/L to 120 g/L of copper ions, 40 g/L to 110 g/L of sulfuric acid, and 30 ppm to 90 ppm of chloride ions at a current density between 20 ASD and 60 ASD.
