LiCoO2 (LCO) Double-Side Coated Aluminum Foil Description

LiCoO2 (LCO) Double-Side Coated Aluminum Foil is a premium cathode material engineered for advanced lithium-ion battery applications. It consists of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) uniformly coated on both sides of high-purity aluminum foil, significantly increasing the active material loading and overall energy density compared to single-side coated electrodes. This configuration is especially beneficial in compact or high-performance battery designs where space and weight are critical.

The foil is prepared by creating a homogeneous slurry of LiCoO2 powder, conductive carbon additives (such as Super P), and a binder like polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in a solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). The slurry is applied to both sides of the aluminum foil using precise coating techniques like roll-to-roll or slot-die coating. After coating, the material is dried, calendared to increase electrode density and mechanical strength, and then cut to size for use in coin cells, pouch cells, or cylindrical cell prototypes.

LCO double-side coated foil provides excellent cycle life, voltage stability, and energy capacity, making it ideal for research laboratories, product development, and performance benchmarking. It is widely used in consumer electronics, wearable devices, and other compact energy storage systems requiring reliable, high-energy cathode materials.

1.       Common Preparation Methods

The preparation of LiCoO2 (LCO) Double-Side Coated Aluminum Foil begins by formulating a uniform slurry composed of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) powder, a conductive additive such as Super P carbon black, and a binder like polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent. This slurry is mixed thoroughly to ensure even dispersion of all components. The mixed slurry is then applied to both sides of a high-purity aluminum foil using a roll-to-roll or slot-die coating process. Once coated, the foil is dried in a vacuum or convection oven to remove solvent residues and promote strong binder adhesion. The dried material is subsequently passed through calendaring rollers to densify the electrode layers, enhance mechanical strength, and improve the contact between particles. After calendaring, the double-side coated foil is inspected for uniformity, thickness consistency, and adhesion quality. The final product is then slit or punched into desired dimensions, ready for use in lithium-ion battery fabrication and electrochemical testing. This method ensures a balanced, high-performance cathode material suitable for applications demanding higher energy density and compact design.
