Abstract

Disclosed is an electrolytic copper foil having specific resistivity of 1.68 to 1.72 μΩ·cm and a grain mean diameter of a crystallite less than 0.41 to 0.80 μm.

Claims (17)

1. An electrolytic copper foil having specific resistivity of 1.68 to 1.72 μΩ·cm and a grain mean diameter of a crystallite less than 0.41 to 0.80 μm,

wherein the electrolytic copper foil has a single modal grain size distribution representing one peak in a grain size distribution diagram obtained from an Electron Backscattering Diffraction Pattern (EBSP) analysis of the crystallite, and a Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of the peak may be less than 0.7 μm,

wherein in an XRD spectrum for a matte side of the electrolytic copper foil, M(220)/M(111) that is a ratio of an orientation index (M(220)) for a (220) crystalline surface to an orientation index (M(111)) for a (111) crystalline surface is 3.4 to 8.5.

2. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein room-temperature tensile strength of the electrolytic copper foil is 55 kgf/mm2 or more.

3. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein a room-temperature elongation percentage of the electrolytic copper foil is 2.5% or more.

4. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein in an X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) spectrum for a matte surface of the electrolytic copper foil, I(220)/I(111) that is a ratio of strength (I(220)) of a diffraction peak for a (220) crystalline surface to strength (I(111)) of a diffraction peak for a (111) crystalline surface is 0.5 to 2.0.

5. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the electrolytic copper foil is 6 to 35 μm.

6. A current collector comprising the electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 .

7. A negative electrode, comprising:

the current collector of claim 6 ; and

a negative electrode active material layer disposed on at least one surface of the current collector.

8. The negative electrode of claim 7 , wherein the negative electrode active material layer includes a negative electrode active material, a binder, and a conductive material.

9. The negative electrode of claim 7 , wherein the negative electrode active material includes one or more selected from the group consisting of a carbon-based material, a metal alloyable with lithium, a transition metal oxide, and a non-transition metal oxide.

10. A lithium battery, comprising:

the negative electrode of claim 7 ;

a positive electrode; and

electrolyte disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
