Does aluminum foil meet lithium ion battery performance requirements?

Aluminum foil must be produced using optimal aluminum alloys in order to meet the performance requirements of Lithium-ion batteries. Targray supplies high-performance, high-quality lithium-ion battery foils for applications such as automotive (EV) and consumer electronics, from alloys carefully chosen for those specific demands.

What type of foil is used for Li ion cells?

The foil of choice for the Anode is Electro-deposited ED Copper foil. The Cathode is produced only from cold rolled Aluminium alloy foil. Avocet Precision Metals supply ED Copper and Aluminium foils to closely controlled tolerances on thickness shape and chemical composition specifically for Li ion cell manufacture.
