Copper foil is an essential base material for lithium-ion-battery negative electrodes. Serving both as a substrate for negative-electrode active materials and as a current collector, it directly influences battery energy density, safety, and cycle life.
Electrode current collector: Efficiently collects and conducts current generated at the negative electrode, enabling high-rate charge-discharge performance of the battery.
Active-material carrier: Provides a uniform, stable bonding substrate for negative-electrode materials such as graphite.
| Classification | Thickness range | Main application scenarios | Core advantages |
| Ultra-thin copper foil | ≤ 6 μm | High-end power batteries, high-energy-density batteries | Maximizes battery energy density |
| Very-thin copper foil | >6 μm up to 12 μm | Power batteries, high-end consumer-digital batteries | Balances performance and process ability, a mainstream market choice |
