Abstract

A copper foil for a current collector of a lithium secondary battery has a crystalline structure, in which a ratio of the sum of texture coefficients of a ( 111 ) surface and a ( 200 ) surface to the total sum of texture coefficients of the ( 111 ), ( 200 ) and ( 220 ) surfaces is 60 to 85%, a ratio of the texture coefficient of the ( 111 ) surface to the total sum of texture coefficients of the ( 111 ), ( 200 ) and ( 220 ) is 18 to 38%, a ratio of the texture coefficient of the ( 200 ) surface thereto is 28 to 62%, and a ratio of the texture coefficient of the ( 220 ) surface thereto is 15 to 40%. The copper foil has surface roughness (R z -JIS) of 2 μm or less, weight deviation of 3% or less, tensile strength of 30 to 40 kgf/mm 2 , elongation of 3 to 20%, and thickness of 1 to 35 μm.

1. A copper foil for a current collector of a lithium secondary battery,

wherein, in a crystalline structure, a ratio of a sum of texture coefficients of a ( 111 ) surface and a ( 200 ) surface to a total sum of texture coefficients of the ( 111 ) surface, the ( 200 ) surface and a ( 220 ) surface is 60 to 85%, a ratio of a texture coefficient of the ( 111 ) surface to the total sum of texture coefficients of the ( 111 ) surface, the ( 200 ) surface and the ( 220 ) surface is 18 to 38%, a ratio of the texture coefficient of the ( 200 ) surface to the total sum of texture coefficients of the ( 111 ) surface, the ( 200 ) surface and the ( 220 ) surface is 28 to 62%, and a ratio of the texture coefficient of the ( 220 ) surface to the total sum of texture coefficients of the ( 111 ) surface, the ( 200 ) surface and the ( 220 ) surface is 15 to 40%,

wherein the texture coefficient satisfies the following equation:
