In traditional electrolytic foil manufacturing processes, the electrolytic solution has a single composition, leading to uneven oxide film growth and surface defects, resulting in problems such as insufficient withstand voltage, high leakage current, and capacitance decay. While existing technologies improve performance by adjusting the electrolyte composition or optimizing process parameters, they are limited by the interaction mechanism between the electrolyte and the aluminum foil surface, making it difficult to fundamentally optimize the oxide film structure.

[0022] Firstly, referring to Figure 1 This disclosure provides a method for preparing electroplated foil, comprising:
[0023] S1. The electrolytic foil is subjected to multi-stage electrolytic formation using an electrolytic electrolyte containing nonionic surfactants, wherein the concentration of nonionic surfactants in the electrolytic electrolyte varies in a gradient.
[0024] In this embodiment, due to the unique molecular structure of nonionic surfactants, during the formation process of the aluminum foil using a formation electrolyte with added nonionic surfactants, the hydrophilic and lipophilic groups of the nonionic surfactants can be oriented at the interface between the formation electrolyte and the aluminum foil, significantly reducing interfacial tension. This promotes the penetration of the formation electrolyte into the micropores of the aluminum foil, reduces local reaction blind zones caused by residual bubbles, and makes the oxide film growth more uniform. The steric hindrance effect of nonionic surfactants can inhibit the adsorption of impurity particles on the aluminum foil surface, reducing surface defects. At the same time, the nonionic surfactants and carboxylic acids in the formation electrolyte can form a synergistic adsorption layer, which can improve the performance and stability of the electrochemical system and extend the service life of the electrolyte.
[0025] In the embodiments of this disclosure, during the formation process of the formed foil using a formation electrolyte with added nonionic surfactant, the concentration of nonionic surfactant in the formation electrolyte varies in a gradient. For example, the concentration of nonionic surfactant is controlled according to the voltage applied at each formation stage, so that the growth of the oxide film is synchronized with the action of the nonionic surfactant. This can promote uniform growth of the oxide film and avoid adverse effects of nonionic surfactant on the formation rate.
[0026] In the embodiments of this disclosure, by adding a nonionic surfactant to the formation electrolyte and having the concentration of the nonionic surfactant change in a gradient during the multi-stage formation process, the oxide film can grow uniformly, surface defects can be reduced, thereby significantly improving the withstand voltage performance of the formed foil, resulting in lower leakage current and more stable specific capacitance.
[0027] The formed foil prepared according to the method for preparing formed foil provided in the embodiments of this disclosure has an oxide film uniformity that is improved by more than 50%, a capacity that is improved by more than 3%, and a leakage current that is reduced by more than 25%.
[0028] The embodiments disclosed herein do not impose any special limitations on nonionic surfactants.
[0029] In some embodiments, the nonionic surfactant includes a polyoxyethylene ether compound with the following molecular structure: ,in, .
[0030] In some embodiments, the concentration gradient of nonionic surfactants in the multi-stage formation electrolyte decreases.
[0031] In the multi-stage formation process of the oxide foil, the voltage applied in each stage increases progressively. The first few stages apply lower voltages but higher current densities, resulting in rapid oxide film growth. A higher concentration of nonionic surfactant is added to reduce interfacial tension, improve the wettability of the oxide foil, promote uniform electrolyte distribution, and enhance ion conduction efficiency and oxide film formation. As the voltage increases, if the concentration of nonionic surfactant is too high, excessive nonionic surfactant molecules may accumulate disorderly on the oxide foil surface, increasing surface defects and hindering normal oxide film growth. Therefore, the concentration of nonionic surfactant decreases in later stages to ensure uniform oxide film growth and reduce surface defects.
[0032] In some embodiments, the concentration of nonionic surfactant in the electrolytic electrolyte is 0.1 wt% to 1 wt%.
[0033] In some embodiments, the electrolyte comprises an aqueous solution of adipate.
[0034] In some embodiments, the electrolytic electrolyte comprises an aqueous solution of ammonium adipate, wherein the concentration of ammonium adipate is 1 wt% to 20 wt%.
[0035] In this embodiment, the electrolytic electrolyte is composed of ammonium adipate, polyoxyethylene ether compounds, and deionized water. The carboxyl groups can form hydrogen bonds with the polyoxyethylene chains of the polyoxyethylene ether compounds, while the hydrophobic alkyl chains and the hydrophobic groups of the polyoxyethylene ether compounds combine through hydrophobic interactions. This complex can more effectively reduce interfacial tension, thereby making the oxide film grow uniformly and reducing surface defects.
[0036] In this embodiment of the disclosure, there are no special limitations on how the concentration of nonionic surfactant in the multi-stage formation electrolyte decreases in a gradient manner.
[0037] In some embodiments, a multi-stage formation process is performed on the formed foil using a formation electrolyte containing a nonionic surfactant, including:
[0038] The formed foil is subjected to a primary formation treatment using a formation electrolyte composed of 1 wt%~15 wt% ammonium adipate, 0.5 wt%~1 wt% polyoxyethylene ether compound and deionized water to obtain a primary formed foil.
[0039] The primary formed foil is subjected to a secondary formed process using a forming electrolyte composed of 7 wt%~15 wt% ammonium adipate, 0.5 wt%~1 wt% polyoxyethylene ether compound and deionized water to obtain a secondary formed foil.
[0040] The secondary formed foil is subjected to a tertiary formation process using a formation electrolyte composed of 5 wt%~15 wt% ammonium adipate, 0.5 wt%~1 wt% polyoxyethylene ether compound and deionized water to obtain a tertiary formed foil.
[0041] The three-stage formed foil is subjected to a four-stage formation process using a formation electrolyte composed of 2 wt%~10 wt% ammonium adipate, 0.1 wt%~0.5 wt% polyoxyethylene ether compound and deionized water to obtain a four-stage formed foil.
[0042] The fourth-stage formed foil is subjected to a fifth-stage formation process using a formation electrolyte composed of 2 wt%~10 wt% ammonium adipate, 0.1 wt%~0.5 wt% polyoxyethylene ether compounds and deionized water to obtain a fifth-stage formed foil.
[0043] The five-stage formed foil is subjected to a six-stage formation process using a formation electrolyte composed of 2 wt%~10 wt% ammonium adipate, 1 wt%~7 wt% phosphate, 0.1 wt%~0.5 wt% polyoxyethylene ether compound and deionized water to obtain a six-stage formed foil.
[0044] In some embodiments, the method further includes adjusting process parameters according to the reaction state of the formed foil.
[0045] In this embodiment, the electrolytic electrolyte is composed of ammonium adipate, polyoxyethylene ether compounds, and deionized water. The carboxyl groups can form hydrogen bonds with the polyoxyethylene chains of the polyoxyethylene ether compounds, while the hydrophobic alkyl chains and the hydrophobic groups of the polyoxyethylene ether compounds combine through hydrophobic interactions. As the pH of the solution increases, the content of organic carboxylic acid anions increases, and the hydration capacity of the mixed micelles in the electrochemical system is enhanced. Within the pH range of the electrolytic electrolyte, the cloud point of the nonionic surfactant increases, thereby facilitating clearer observation of the reaction state during production and timely adjustment of process parameters.
[0046] In some embodiments, the method further includes: subjecting the formed foil that has undergone multi-stage formation treatment to at least one post-treatment, passivation treatment, heat treatment, and drying treatment.
