Abstract

Disclosed is a copper foil including a copper layer and having a tensile strength of 29 to 65 kgf/mm 2 , a mean width of roughness profile elements (Rsm) of 18 to 148 μm and a texture coefficient bias [TCB(220)] of 0.52 or less.

Claims (30)

1. A copper foil comprising a copper layer and having a tensile strength of 29 to 65 kgf/mm 2 , a mean width of roughness profile elements (Rsm) of 18 to 148 μm and a texture coefficient bias [TCB(220)] of 0.52 or less.

2. The copper foil according to claim 1 , further comprising an anticorrosive film disposed on the copper layer.

3. The copper foil according to claim 2 , wherein the anticorrosive film comprises at least one of chromium (Cr), a silane compound and a nitrogen compound.

4. The copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the copper foil has a maximum height roughness (Rmax) of 0.6 μm or more.

5. The copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the copper foil has a weight deviation of 5% or less.

6. The copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the copper foil has an elongation of 2% or more at a room temperature of 25±15° C.

7. The copper foil according to claim 1 , wherein the copper foil has a thickness of 4 μm to 30 μm.

8. An electrode for secondary batteries comprising:

the copper foil according to claim 1 ; and

an active material layer disposed on the copper foil.

9. A secondary battery comprising:

a cathode;

an anode facing the cathode;

an electrolyte disposed between the cathode and the anode to provide an environment enabling ions to move; and

a separator to electrically insulate (isolate) the cathode from the anode,

wherein the anode comprises:

the copper foil according to claim 1 ; and

an active material layer disposed on the copper foil.

10. A flexible copper foil laminate film comprising:

a polymer membrane; and

the copper foil according to claim 1 disposed on the polymer membrane.

11. A method for manufacturing a copper foil comprising applying a current density of 30 to 80 A/dm 2 to a electrode plate and a rotary electrode drum spaced from each other in an electrolyte containing copper ions to form a copper layer,

wherein the electrolyte comprises:

70 to 100 g/L of copper ions;

80 to 130 g/L of sulfuric acid;

2 to 20 mg/L of 2-mercaptothiazoline;

2 to 20 mg/L of bis-(3-sulfopropyl) disulfide (SPS); and

50 mg/L or less of polyethylene glycol (PEG).

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the electrolyte comprises 10 to 30 mg/L of chlorine (Cl).

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the electrolyte has a deviation of flow rate per unit time (second) of 5% or less.
