Description
A high-temperature, ultra-high-strength, high-elongation lithium battery copper foil and its production process
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202410028131.4 filed on January 9, 2024, entitled “High-temperature, ultra-high-strength, high-elongation lithium battery copper foil and its production process,” and the entire contents of that application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present invention relates to the technical field of copper foil, and in particular to a high-temperature, ultra-high-strength, high-elongation lithium battery copper foil and a production process thereof. Background Art
[0004] With the rapid development of energy transition and electronic devices, the demand for high-performance and safer energy storage systems is growing. Against this backdrop, lithium-ion batteries have become the market's top choice due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and excellent stability. In recent years, to further increase battery energy density, silicon anode materials have attracted research attention due to their much higher theoretical capacity than traditional graphite anode materials.
[0005] However, silicon negative electrode materials undergo huge volume changes (up to 300%) during the charge and discharge process, resulting in material crushing and a decrease in the battery's cycle performance. In addition, the higher operating temperatures that silicon negative electrode lithium batteries usually need to withstand during charge and discharge also place higher performance requirements on the current carrier of copper foil. Therefore, developing a copper foil that can maintain high mechanical properties, excellent elongation and stable chemical properties after high temperatures is of great significance for achieving high-performance silicon negative electrode lithium batteries.
[0006] As a carrier for battery positive and negative electrode materials, copper foil not only serves as a conductor but also must withstand various stresses and high temperatures during battery manufacturing and application. Existing lithium battery copper foil products, after high-temperature baking and high-stress conditions, often exhibit strength and ductility that fail to meet the requirements of silicon anode materials. For example, conventional copper foil is prone to softening, strength loss, and grain growth under high-temperature cycling conditions. This can cause the copper foil to separate from the silicon anode material, thereby affecting battery performance.
[0007] To address these challenges, the present invention proposes a new type of high-temperature, ultra-high-strength, high-elongation copper foil. This foil not only exhibits high strength and elongation at room temperature but also maintains its exceptional mechanical properties and stability even after exposure to high temperatures. The manufacturing process for this copper foil emphasizes raw material selection, preparation technology, and post-processing to ensure both surface and bulk quality.
[0008] The preparation process may include multiple steps, such as using special high-performance additive technology to improve the crystal structure of the copper foil, control grain growth, and maintain excellent thermal stability. Furthermore, it may be possible to optimize the deformation hardening and grain boundary strengthening effects by controlling the annealing process, thereby achieving ultra-high mechanical properties.

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0036] The first embodiment of the present application provides an electrolyte additive for electrolytic copper foil, which includes, by weight, 30-100 parts of organic sulfide, 5-15 parts of gelatin, 1-20 parts of polyethylene glycol, 10-20 parts of nitrogen-containing compounds, 1-20 parts of polyether compounds and Cl - 10-40 parts, preferably the electrolyte additives include 40-80 parts of organic sulfide, 5-10 parts of gelatin, 5-15 parts of polyethylene glycol, 10-15 parts of nitrogen-containing compounds, 1-10 parts of polyether compounds and 15-35 parts of Cl-.
[0037] The additive formula includes not only an organic sulfide as a brightener but also a nitrogen-containing compound as a leveler. The combination of these two additives produces a copper foil with extremely high tensile strength and significantly increases its elongation while maintaining surface stability.
[0038] This effect is achieved by rationally combining these two types of additives. The organic sulfide, acting as a brightener, combined with gelatin and nitrogen-containing compound levelers, makes the copper foil's crystal structure smoother and denser, creating a large number of nanocrystalline regions. This crystal structure strengthening effect gives the copper foil higher tensile strength. Simultaneously, the synergistic effect of this formula promotes the formation of large numbers of twins within the copper foil, greatly increasing the proportion and probability of nanotwin formation. The excellent structural interaction between fine crystals and nanotwins not only improves the copper foil's tensile strength but also increases its elongation.
[0039] By applying the theoretical principles of grain refinement and increasing the proportion of nano-twins, this innovative approach breaks through the limitations of traditional formulations. By employing specific additives and optimizing the formulation, the introduction of impurities is reduced. This process generates a large number of nanocrystalline regions, significantly increasing the twin ratio of the copper foil and forming a distinct nano-twin structure.
[0040] This innovation offers numerous advantages. First, it successfully increases the tensile strength of copper foil, giving it improved mechanical properties. Second, through grain refinement and the formation of a nanotwin structure, we achieve a high elongation in the copper foil. This demonstrates that this technology ensures both the strength of the copper foil and its excellent ductility.
[0041] This formulation offers significant advantages over traditional methods. By optimizing the composition and ratio of additives, we successfully reduced the introduction of impurities, thereby improving the purity and quality of the copper foil. Furthermore, we created a large number of nanocrystalline regions, providing the copper foil with more grain boundary strengthening mechanisms, further enhancing its mechanical properties.
[0042] In summary, this innovation, based on the theoretical principles of grain refinement and increased nanotwin ratio, through optimized formulation and the use of specific additives, has achieved a breakthrough in copper foil production. Our technology improves ductility while maintaining the foil's tensile strength, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional formulations. This innovation is expected to bring significant progress to the field of copper foil production and provide higher-quality copper foil materials for related applications.
[0043] The additives in this solution use organic sulfides as brighteners. The organic divalent sulfides used in the present invention can be selected from commonly used sulfur-containing organic compounds used as brighteners. In some embodiments, the organic sulfides include, but are not limited to, 3-mercaptopropane sulfonate, bis-(3-sulfopropyl) disulfide, 2-mercaptothiazoline, and 3-N,N-dimethylaminodithiocarbamoyl-1-propanesulfonic acid. Organic sulfides are widely considered to be particle refiners. They can adsorb on the crystal growth surfaces of copper ions, reducing the crystal surface energy of metallic copper, thereby disrupting the orderly growth of the copper lattice and promoting fine grains. The increase in the number of fine grains and the corresponding increase in the number of grain boundaries in the copper foil achieve an increase in material strength (applied to the Hall-Petch relationship), which is one of the physical properties required for ultra-high strength.
[0044] The additive of the present invention uses gelatin as a leveling agent. The gelatin used in the present invention is conventional commercial gelatin. In order to improve the dispersibility of gelatin in the electrolyte, in some embodiments, the weight average molecular weight of collagen is selected to be 30,000-60,000. Gelatin contains a large number of functional groups, such as carboxyl and amino groups, which can form stable complexes with copper ions. During the growth of electrolytic copper foil, these complexes will selectively adsorb on specific crystal growth surfaces, slowing down the deposition rate of copper foil on these surfaces. The selective adsorption of gelatin slows down the reduction reaction of copper ions on the electrode, thereby helping to form smaller and more uniform grains. At the same time, the active groups in its molecules can strongly bind to copper ions and form a complex at the copper deposition interface, blocking or slowing down the regular growth of the copper lattice, thereby prompting the copper foil to form more grain boundaries, which also helps to refine the grains and enhance the strength of the material.
[0045] The additive of the present invention uses polyethylene glycol as a displacement agent. The polyethylene glycol used in the present invention is conventional commercial polyethylene glycol. In some embodiments, the average molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol selected is 6000. The mechanism of action of polyethylene glycol in the copper deposition process is to adsorb on the copper crystal growth surface and form a barrier layer. This barrier layer changes and slows the diffusion rate of copper ions on the crystal surface, slowing the crystal growth rate and causing the shape of the grains to become more equiaxed. In addition, the molecular weight and concentration parameters of the polyethylene glycol have a significant impact on its inhibitory effect: polyethylene glycol with a larger molecular weight has a stronger inhibitory effect on grain growth.
[0046] The additives of the present invention utilize nitrogen-containing compounds as the second leveling agent. The nitrogen compounds used in the present invention can be selected from commonly used nitrogen-containing compounds used as leveling agents, including one or more selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneimine, ethoxypolyethyleneimine, and N,N,2-methyl-formamide. The present invention does not have any particular requirements for the molecular weight of the nitrogen-containing leveling compound. Nitrogen-containing compounds, particularly nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds such as pyridine, are generally considered to act as nucleophiles during the deposition process. Their effects may be somewhat similar to those of gelatin and organosulfides, also slowing the deposition reaction and affecting the quality of the deposited layer by forming complexes with copper ions. However, they may have a differential effect on the nucleation mechanism of crystals, sometimes even increasing the density of crystal nuclei and thereby refining the grains.
[0047] The additives of the present invention utilize polyether compounds as the second dislodging agent. In some embodiments, such polyether compounds include, but are not limited to, polyether carboxylates, octylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers, and carboxyethyl cellulose. Polyether compounds stabilize the crystallization process by forming coordination bonds between their oxygen atoms and copper. Their effects may affect the degree of lattice distortion during deposition, thereby affecting the crystal quality and uniformity of the final deposited layer. Polyether compounds may also reduce the internal stress of the copper foil, contributing to the formation of more complete grains and improving ductility.
[0048] The additives of the present invention utilize Cl- as a third leveling agent. In some embodiments, the Cl- is derived from HCl. Chloride ions play a key role in the electrolysis process because they adsorb onto specific surfaces on which crystals grow, influencing their growth behavior and properties. During electrodeposition, chloride ions often alter surface morphology and contribute to grain refinement.
[0049] The above additives can not only act alone, but also interact with each other to shape the properties of copper foil. The interaction between additives usually involves the following points:
[0050] Competitive adsorption: Different additive molecules may compete with each other for spatial positions on copper ions or copper crystal growth surfaces.
[0051] Synergistic effect: One additive may alter the chemical kinetics in a solution, thereby enhancing or inhibiting the efficiency of another additive.
[0052] Chemical interactions: Additives can change their chemical properties by reacting with other factors in solution, for example, through redox reactions or the formation of more complex complexes.
[0053] Organosulfides typically interfere with the growth of copper crystal faces by forming a thin copper sulfide layer, which means they can affect copper deposition through direct interaction with copper ions. When organosulfides coexist with other inhibitors, such as polyethylene glycol or polyether compounds, their effects may be enhanced by interactions between the inhibitors. For example, the adsorption layer provided by polyethylene glycol may reduce the number of crystal faces that the organosulfide needs to cover, making its effect more focused and effective. Gelatin contains functional groups that can form complexes with copper ions, slowing the growth of specific crystal faces and potentially imparting selectivity for copper ion reduction at the electrode. Polyethylene glycol can also adsorb on crystal faces, forming a barrier layer. When used together, they may form a more stable and uniform barrier layer on the crystal faces, effectively restricting the growth direction of copper crystals in certain directions, resulting in finer and more uniform grains. Chloride ions have a unique effect on electrolytic copper foil. Chloride ions increase the conductivity of the solution and can form copper(I) chloride complexes with copper, which facilitates deposition. This property makes it possible to combine chloride ions with other additives, such as chloride ions and organic sulfides, to further refine grain size. The addition of chloride ions may also lead to more selective adsorption of other additives on copper crystal surfaces, as the potential for copper deposition is altered by chloride ions. Certain nitrogen-containing compounds, such as pyridine and its derivatives, may increase the density of crystal nuclei by forming complexes with copper, thereby refining grain size. When used with inhibitors such as polyethers, these compounds may have a complementary effect: the polyethers slow copper reduction and crystal growth, providing a more uniform deposition, while the nitrogen-containing compounds catalyze nucleation at lower coverage, resulting in more nuclei and smaller grains. The combination of these organic sulfide brighteners with gelatin and nitrogen-containing polymer levelers results in a smoother and denser copper foil structure, producing numerous nanocrystalline regions and enhancing grain refinement. This synergistic effect also promotes the formation of numerous twins within the copper foil, significantly increasing the probability and proportion of nanotwin formation. The fine grains and nanotwins interact to improve the copper foil's tensile strength and elongation. The high-temperature performance of copper foil depends on the stability of the microstructure formed during the manufacturing process. Certain additives, such as polyethylene glycol and polyether compounds, can inhibit grain growth at high temperatures, preventing performance degradation during heat treatment. Furthermore, the fine grains provide more interfaces that absorb and release thermal stress, reduce dislocation motion at high temperatures, and improve the material's thermal stability.
[0054] In some embodiments, the weight parts of the organic sulfide include, but are not limited to, 40 parts, 45 parts, 50 parts, 55 parts, 60 parts, 65 parts, 70 parts, 75 parts, or 80 parts.
[0055] In some embodiments, the weight parts of gelatin include, but are not limited to, 5 parts, 8 parts, or 10 parts.
[0056] In some embodiments, the weight parts of polyethylene glycol include but are not limited to 5 parts, 10 parts or 15 parts.
[0057] In some embodiments, the nitrogen-containing compound leveler includes, but is not limited to, 10 parts, 11 parts, 12 parts, 13 parts, 14 parts, or 15 parts.
[0058] In some embodiments, the ether compound includes, but is not limited to, 1 part, 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts, 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, 8 parts, 9 parts, or 10 parts.
[0059] In some embodiments, the chloride ion includes, but is not limited to, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 35 parts.
[0060] A second embodiment of the present invention provides a production process for copper foil, the production process comprising:
[0061] Step S1', mixing raw copper, sulfuric acid and an electrolyte additive to form an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte additive is any one of the electrolyte additives mentioned above;
[0062] Step S2', electrolyzing the raw copper to obtain raw foil;
[0063] Step S3 ′: passivating and drying the original foil to obtain copper foil.
[0064] In some embodiments, the above production process comprises the following steps:
[0065] Step S1, preparing an electrolyte: dissolving raw copper in a sulfuric acid solution to form a solution, filtering and removing impurities, and mixing with a composite additive to obtain an electrolyte; wherein the composite additive includes an organic sulfide, gelatin, polyethylene glycol, a nitrogen-containing compound, a polyether compound, and Cl-;
[0066] Step S2, preparing a primary copper foil: introducing the electrolyte into the electrolytic cell of the foil production machine through a pipeline, and obtaining the primary copper foil after electroplating;
[0067] Step S3: The primary copper foil is subjected to surface passivation treatment, drying, and rolling to obtain a high-temperature, ultra-high-strength, high-elongation lithium battery copper foil.
[0068] The production method of the present invention adopts the above-mentioned specific additives. On the one hand, a large number of nanocrystalline regions are generated during electrolysis, while at the same time the twin ratio of the copper foil is increased and a clear nanotwin structure is generated, thereby ensuring the tensile strength of the copper foil while maintaining a high elongation. On the other hand, a more uniform and reasonable fine grain structure is provided, thereby maintaining the stability of the copper foil at high temperatures.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the copper ion concentration in the above-mentioned electrolyte is 85g / L-95g / L, the sulfuric acid concentration is 110g / L-130g / L, and the electrolyte temperature is 50°C to improve the stability of electrolysis.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrolyte additives in the electrolyte meet any one or more of the following conditions: the content of the above-mentioned organic sulfide in the electrolyte is 40 mg / L-80 mg / L; the content of the gelatin in the electrolyte is 5 mg / L-10 mg / L; the content of the polyethylene glycol in the electrolyte is 1 mg / L-15 mg / L; the content of the nitrogen-containing compound in the electrolyte is 10 mg / L-15 mg / L; the content of the polyether compound in the electrolyte is 1 mg / L-10 mg / L; the Cl - The content in the electrolyte is 15-35ppm. By controlling the content of each component in the electrolyte within the above range during the electrolysis process, the components can fully cooperate with each other, thereby better improving the tensile strength, elongation and high temperature stability of the copper foil.
[0071] The electrolysis conditions of the present invention can refer to the conventional copper foil electrolysis conditions, that is, the use of the electrolyte additive of the present invention does not require any changes to the conventional electrolysis conditions, so its applicability is relatively wide. In some embodiments, the electrolysis conditions are as follows: the flow rate of the electrolyte is 40m 3 / h-50m 3 / h, the current density of electrolysis is 6000A / m 2 -7000A / m 2 . To promote the full play of the role of electrolyte additives.
[0072] The washing and passivation after electrolysis can refer to the washing process and passivation process commonly used in electrolytic copper foil, which will not be described in detail in the present invention.
[0073] A third embodiment of the present invention provides an electrolytic copper foil, which meets the following baking conditions: a high temperature of 150° C. for 160 min, and a physical property attenuation after baking of less than 5%.
[0074] The third embodiment of the present application further provides an electrolytic copper foil, which meets the following conditions: a tensile strength between 600 MPa and 700 MPa, and an elongation of 4% to 6%.
[0075] The third embodiment of the present application further provides an electrolytic copper foil, wherein the electrolytic copper foil has a reasonable structure with an average grain size of 0.3-0.4 μm and a twin ratio of 50%-70%.
[0076] The electrolytic copper foil of the present invention is a high-temperature, ultra-high-strength, high-elongation copper foil. Its ultra-high tensile strength and good elongation can effectively improve the production efficiency and safety of lithium-ion battery manufacturing. For example, it is suitable for coating, wrinkling, and multi-layer winding processes in the production process of lithium-ion batteries.
[0077] The above tensile strength and elongation are obtained by testing the copper foil at room temperature (about 25°C) using a HY-0230 universal material testing machine manufactured by Shanghai Hengyi Precision Instrument Co., Ltd. in accordance with the test method GB / T29847-2013.
[0078] A fourth embodiment of the present invention provides an electrolytic copper foil produced using any of the aforementioned production methods. The electrolytic copper foil of the present invention is a high-temperature, ultra-high-strength, high-elongation copper foil. Its ultra-high tensile strength and excellent elongation can effectively improve the production efficiency and safety of lithium-ion batteries. For example, this foil is useful in processes such as coating, corrugation, and multi-layer winding in the lithium-ion battery manufacturing process.

[0174] The microstructure and basic physical properties of the electrolytic copper foils prepared in Examples 1-28 and Comparative Examples 1-19 were tested. The testing methods for the microstructure and basic physical properties are as follows:
[0175] EBSD (Electrode Backscatter Diffraction) Testing: A C-Swift EBSD detector manufactured by Oxford Instruments, UK, was used to observe the microstructure of copper foil samples from various examples and comparative examples. The EBSD images of Example 4 and Comparative Example 6 are shown in Figures 1 and 2.

The TEM image of Example 3, shown in Figure 3, shows a distinct nanoscale twin structure.
[0176] Tensile strength and elongation test: According to the test method GB / T29847-2013, the tensile strength and elongation of the copper foil were tested at room temperature (about 25°C) using a HY-0230 universal material testing machine manufactured by Shanghai Hengyi Precision Instrument Co., Ltd.
[0177] The test results of the microstructure and basic physical properties of the electrolytic copper foils prepared in each embodiment and each comparative example are shown in Table 1.
[0178] Table 1 Performance test results of electrolytic copper foil
[0179] The high-temperature, ultra-high-strength, high-elongation copper foil of the present invention can improve the overall performance of silicon negative electrode lithium batteries and extend their service life, which has far-reaching significance for the development of future energy storage systems.
[0180] At the same time, for conventional lithium batteries, high-temperature ultra-high-strength high-elongation copper foil, with its ultra-high tensile strength and good elongation, can also effectively improve the production efficiency and safety of lithium-ion battery manufacturing. For example, it can be used in coating, wrinkling, and multi-layer winding processes in the production process of lithium-ion batteries.
[0181] Coating wrinkling: During the coating process for the positive and negative electrodes of lithium-ion batteries, the active material needs to be evenly applied to the copper foil. Using ultra-high-strength and high-ductility copper foil can better withstand the mechanical and tensile stresses during the coating process, preventing coating shedding and damage. This helps improve battery consistency and performance stability.
[0182] Multi-layer winding: In lithium-ion battery manufacturing, the positive and negative electrode layers are stacked into a multi-layer structure through winding. Ultra-high-strength and high-ductility copper foil can better maintain its shape and structural stability during the winding process. This helps reduce the contact impedance and internal resistance between the electrode layers, improving battery performance and cycle life.
[0183] Lithium battery copper foil, with its high-temperature ultra-high strength and high ductility, can provide better mechanical properties, stability, and high-temperature resistance in the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries. This helps improve battery consistency, cycle life, and safety, and promotes the development and application of lithium-ion battery technology.
[0184] In the copper foil production process, the use of electrolyte additives is crucial. Generally, they include three components: brightener, leveler, and spacer. These additives work synergistically to give the copper foil a fine microstructure and thus excellent mechanical properties.
[0185] Brighteners are a class of sulfur-containing organic compounds whose primary function is to promote the nucleation of copper ions, resulting in fine-grained copper foil and a bright surface. Brighteners form coordination bonds with copper ions or copper crystal faces, regulating the deposition rate and grain formation, ultimately refining the grain size. Levelers promote face-centered growth of copper foil grains. These additives, typically composed of proteins of varying molecular weights, form a protective film during copper foil crystal growth, thereby regulating the growth rate and crystal morphology and enhancing the flatness and regularity of the grains. Levelers can smooth the copper foil surface, improving its finish and surface quality. Distributors improve the dispersion of the electrolyte, ensuring that other additives are evenly and effectively applied to all areas during the copper plating process. Polyether compounds are commonly used as distributing agents. They increase electrolyte fluidity, facilitate rapid transport and uniform distribution of additives, and ensure the full effectiveness of various additives throughout the copper plating process.
[0186] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
