Hydrophobic Graphite Single-Side Coated Copper Foil Description

Hydrophobic Graphite Single-Side Coated Copper Foil is an advanced functional material designed for high-performance energy storage and electronic applications. It consists of a high-purity copper foil substrate with a uniform layer of graphite coated on one side. The graphite layer is specially treated to be hydrophobic, meaning it repels moisture, which significantly improves the material's resistance to oxidation and environmental degradation.

This hydrophobic property enhances the foil’s stability in humid or corrosive environments, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. The graphite coating provides excellent electrical conductivity and a smooth surface, making it ideal as a current collector in lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and other electrochemical devices. The single-sided design allows for controlled interface behavior, enabling precise layering in cell assembly processes.

The copper base ensures high thermal and electrical conductivity, while the graphite coating supports uniform charge distribution and strong adhesion with active materials. The combination of these features results in improved energy efficiency, cycle life, and safety of the final device.

Hydrophobic Graphite Single-Side Coated Copper Foil is widely used in energy storage systems, flexible electronics, and high-reliability electronic components, where moisture control, conductivity, and surface stability are critical to performance.

1.       Common Preparation Methods

The preparation of Hydrophobic Graphite Single-Side Coated Copper Foil involves several controlled steps to ensure uniformity, adhesion, and hydrophobic performance. First, high-purity copper foil is selected and thoroughly cleaned to remove surface oils, oxides, and other contaminants. A specially formulated graphite slurry is then applied to one side of the copper foil using techniques such as slot-die coating, roll-to-roll coating, or doctor blade application. The slurry contains graphite particles, binders, solvents, and hydrophobic agents that impart moisture-repellent properties to the final coating.

After the coating is applied, the foil passes through a drying and curing process under controlled temperature and humidity conditions to evaporate solvents and strengthen the bond between the graphite layer and the copper substrate. In some cases, additional surface treatments such as calendaring or heat pressing are used to enhance coating density, smoothness, and electrical performance. The finished material is then trimmed, tested for uniformity, conductivity, hydrophobicity, and adhesion, and finally rolled or cut to size for use in battery or electronic applications. This process ensures the final product meets the stringent requirements for electrochemical and environmental performance.
