Electrolytic copper foil for secondary battery, having enhanced flexural resistance, and method for producing the same
The present invention relates to an electrolytic copper foil for a secondary battery, having excellent flexural resistance, and a method for producing the electrolytic copper foil. The electrolytic copper foil for a secondary battery has excellent flexural resistance even without the use of many additives in a copper electrolyte when producing a copper foil. The electrolytic copper foil for a secondary battery according to the present invention is an electrolytic copper foil for a secondary battery, which is produced from a plating solution, containing total organic carbon (TOC), cobalt and arsenic, by using a drum and is coated with a negative electrode active material, wherein the ratio between the TOC, cobalt and arsenic contained in the electrolytic copper foil follows the following formula 1: TOC/(cobalt+arsenic)=1.30−1.55. [Formula 1]
1. An electrolytic copper foil for a secondary battery, wherein the electrolytic copper foil is capable of being coated with a negative electrode active material, the electrolytic copper foil comprising:
a layer containing copper, total organic carbon (TOC), and metal additives that contain cobalt and arsenic,
wherein a ratio of the TOC to the cobalt and the arsenic contained in the layer satisfies a following Equation 1:
TOC content/(cobalt content+arsenic content)=1.30 to 1.55. [Formula 1]
2. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic copper foil has bending times greater than or equal to 110 in a MIT bending test.
3. The method foil of claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic copper foil has a first face and a second face that is opposite to the first face and a Rz roughness of each of the first and second faces is smaller than or equal to 2.0 μm.
4. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein a tensile strength of the electrolytic copper foil is in a range of 30 kgf/mm 2 to 51 kgf/mm 2 .
5. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein an elongation of the electrolytic copper foil is in a range of 2% to 15%.
6. The electrolytic copper foil of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the electrolytic copper foil is in a range of 4 μm to 10 μm.
