SS6719 Double-Sided Conductive Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel Foil

Double-Sided Conductive Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel Foil Description

Double-Sided Conductive Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel Foil is an advanced electrode material developed for high-performance energy storage and electrochemical systems. It consists of a stainless steel substrate coated on both sides with a uniform layer of conductive carbon. It is designed to enhance electrical performance while maintaining mechanical strength and chemical resistance.

The stainless steel core provides structural integrity, high tensile strength, and thermal stability, making it ideal for environments with high current loads or temperature fluctuations. The carbon coating, applied through precise techniques such as slurry coating and thermal curing, ensures excellent electrical conductivity and forms a stable interface with active electrode materials. Its double-sided design enables symmetrical conductivity, improving adhesion, which supports efficient charge/discharge cycles and minimises internal resistance.

Additionally, the carbon layer protects the metal substrate from corrosion, particularly in harsh electrolytic environments, extending the electrode’s lifespan and maintaining consistent performance over prolonged operating cycles. The carbon surface also improves bonding with various active materials, contributing to enhanced electrochemical activity and reliability.

This material is used in lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid energy storage devices. Its combination of strength, conductivity, and resistance to chemical degradation makes it a suitable choice for advanced energy solutions and demanding industrial applications.

1.       Common Preparation Methods

The preparation of Double-Sided Conductive Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel Foil begins with the selection and cleaning of high-grade stainless steel foil to remove any surface oxides, oils, or contaminants that could affect coating adhesion. A specially formulated carbon slurry, containing conductive carbon materials, binders, solvents, and dispersants, is then applied to both sides of the stainless steel using precision coating techniques such as roll-to-roll, slot-die, or doctor blade coating. The coating process is carefully controlled to ensure uniform thickness and surface coverage. After application, the coated foil is passed through a drying oven to remove solvents, followed by thermal curing or baking at elevated temperatures to improve adhesion strength, remove residual volatiles, and enhance the conductivity and structural integrity of the carbon layers. Additional calendaring may be performed to compress the coating layers, reduce surface roughness, and achieve desired mechanical properties. The final product is inspected for coating uniformity, electrical resistance, adhesion, and surface quality. Once the material meets technical specifications, it is slit, cut, or rolled according to application requirements and packaged for shipment. This process ensures the foil delivers high conductivity, corrosion resistance, and durability for advanced electrochemical and energy storage applications.
