Abstract

An electric copper foil is applied as a current collector for a lithium secondary battery, and in a peak curve with respect to a (111) plane appearing on an X-ray diffraction analysis graph (a graph in which an X-axis variable is a diffraction angle 2θ and a Y-axis variable is an intensity of a diffracted X-ray) in a state where the electric copper foil is not thermally treated, the electric copper foil has a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.08 or above and 0.15 or below.

Claims (17)

1. An electric copper foil, wherein:

the electric copper foil shows a first X-ray diffraction graph in which a first peak curve corresponding to a (111) plane has a first full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.08 to 0.15°,

an X-axis variable of the first X-ray diffraction graph is a diffraction angle (2θ),

a Y-axis variable of the first X-ray diffraction graph is an intensity of a diffracted X-ray, and

the first FWHM is a difference between two different 20 values corresponding to a half maximum intensity of the first peak curve.

2. The electric copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein:

after thermally treated at 190° C. for 1 hour, the electric copper foil shows a second X-ray diffraction graph in which a second peak curve corresponding to a (111) plane has a second FWHM of 0.099 to 0.11°,

an X-axis variable of the second X-ray diffraction graph is the diffraction angle (2θ),

a Y-axis variable of the second X-ray diffraction graph is the intensity of the diffracted X-ray, and

the second FWHM is a difference between two different 20 values corresponding to a half maximum intensity of the second peak curve.

3. The electric copper foil according to claim 2 ,

wherein the electric copper foil has a protective layer formed at a surface thereof, and

wherein the protective layer is made of at least one selected from the group consisting of chromate, BTA (benzotriazole) and a silane coupling agent.

4. The electric copper foil according to claim 2 , wherein the electric copper foil has surface roughness (Rz) of 0.3 μm or above and 1.5 μm or below.

5. The electric copper foil according to claim 2 , wherein a matte surface (M side) of the electric copper foil has a specular gloss of 20 GU or above and 500 GU or below at an incident angle of 60 degrees.

6. An electrode current collector comprising the electric copper foil according to claim 2 .

7. A lithium secondary battery, comprising the electrode current collector according to claim 6 .
