Anode foil and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

The application provides an anode foil and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: providing an unformed foil, wherein the unformed foil comprises an aluminum foil base material and an aluminum powder sintering layer arranged on the surface of the aluminum foil base material; and sequentially performing the following processes on the unformed foil: water boiling, first-stage chemical conversion, second-stage chemical conversion, third-stage chemical conversion, power feeding treatment, fourth-stage chemical conversion, fifth-stage chemical conversion, first-stage heat treatment, first chemical conversion repair, first phosphoric acid treatment, second chemical conversion repair, second-stage heat treatment, third chemical conversion repair and second phosphoric acid treatment. The solutes of the electrolyte of the first-stage chemical conversion, the second-stage chemical conversion and the third-stage chemical conversion comprise citric acid, triammonium citrate, adipic acid, ammonium adipate, salicylic acid, hypophosphite, boric acid and ammonium salt, and the solvent is water. The solutes of the electrolyte of the fourth-stage chemical conversion and the fifth-stage chemical conversion comprise citric acid, triammonium citrate, sebacic acid, ammonium sebacate, salicylic acid, sodium hypophosphite, boric acid and ammonium salt, and the solvent is water. An anode foil prepared by the preparation method has a high specific capacity and a small hydration leakage current.
