Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of copper foil, and in particular to an electrolytically rolled copper foil with high bending resistance and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Copper foil is a vital material widely used in the electronics industry. Due to its high strength, high conductivity, and good ductility, it is widely used in flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs), new energy batteries, 5G communications equipment, and consumer electronics. Bending resistance is a crucial property of copper foil, especially in flexible electronic products such as foldable phones and wearable devices. Its bending resistance directly determines the reliability and service life of the product under repeated bending conditions. Inadequate bending resistance can lead to circuit breakage or signal degradation.

[0003] Currently, copper foil is categorized as rolled copper foil and electrolytic copper foil based on different production methods. The core production process for rolled copper foil includes smelting and casting, hot rolling to create blanks, multiple cold rolling passes, intermediate annealing, and surface treatment. High-purity copper raw material is smelted and continuously cast into ingots. This ingot is then initially thinned by hot rolling, followed by multiple cold rolling passes combined with annealing to control the grain structure, ultimately resulting in a high-performance foil with micron-level thickness accuracy. Electrolytic copper foil is produced by electrodepositing copper ions from a copper sulfate electrolyte onto the surface of a titanium cathode roller. Under the influence of an electric field, the copper ions are reduced on the titanium substrate to form an initial deposit. As the cathode roller rotates continuously, the copper ions accumulate layer by layer to the target thickness before being peeled off and rolled. Currently, rolled copper foil is the primary copper foil used in flexible electronic devices. However, the production of rolled copper foil requires more than 20 rolling-annealing cycles, with energy consumption accounting for over 40% of the production cost. The complex production process and yield rate are less than 70%, resulting in high costs.

[0004] Compared to rolled copper foil, electrolytic copper foil offers lower manufacturing costs, controllable surface roughness, and better thickness uniformity. However, the grain structure of electrolytic copper foil is typically coarser and anisotropic, resulting in weaker bending resistance. Repeated bending can easily lead to microcracks or even breakage, potentially affecting the long-term reliability of flexible circuits.

[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need to provide a copper foil with a simple preparation method, low cost, and high bending resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0092] Figure 1 is a morphology diagram of the electrolytically rolled copper foil prepared in Example 1; Figure 1 It can be seen that the surface of the electrolytically rolled copper foil prepared by the present invention is smooth and has no holes or cracks.

[0093] 2. Tensile properties

[0094] Figure 2 The stress-strain curve of the electrolytically rolled copper foil prepared in Example 1; Figure 2 It can be seen that the final tensile strength of the electrolytically rolled copper foil prepared by the present invention is 318 MPa, and the elongation at break is 1.10%.

[0095] 3. EBSD test

[0096] Figure 3 The EBSD photos of the electrolytically rolled copper foil prepared in Example 1, where the left side is the orientation distribution map of the electrolytically rolled copper foil, and the right side is the grain boundary distribution map. Figure 3 It can be seen that the electrolytically rolled copper foil has a typical deformation structure.

[0099] 5. Bending resistance test

[0100] The electrolytically rolled copper foils prepared in Examples 1 to 3 were tested for their bending resistance. The specific testing method is as follows:

[0101] Cut the copper foil sample to be tested into strips of 12.7×152mm using a mold, clamp the sample in the fixture of the bending tester, and ensure that the axis of the sample is perpendicular to the axis of the bending shaft; set the bending angle to 90° and the force to 500g, start the tester, and start counting. When the sample breaks or shows other damage, the tester automatically stops counting. The counted value is the number of times the copper foil is bent.

[0102] At the same time, the same bending resistance test was carried out on a commercially available rolled copper foil with a thickness of 20 μm as comparative example 1. Figure 4 shown.
