Abstract
The amount and kind of additives in electrolytes play a very important role on the electroplating of Cu foil, which is used as a cathode materials for secondary batteries. As the use of Cu foil increased, various studies on the electroplated Cu foil are urgently needed. We studied surface characteristics..... More

Abstract
Extremely thin film high quality copper foil is required to ensure high performance in electronics and slimness in secondary batteries. During the electroplating of copper foil, Janus Green B(JGB) and Collagen were introduced as additives to the electrolytes to study their effects. The structural and electrical properties of the electroplated..... More

Abstract
In this study, we studied the surface and mechanical properties of multiple additives as well as the initial plating properties of individual additives. With the individual additive groups, copper crystals tended to converge at a stage above the critical amount of additive. When chloride ions were added, large crystals formed..... More

Abstract
Electroplating has many economic advantages in producing copper foils. The easiest way to manufacture electroplated copper foil with various properties is to add appropriate additives. This study evaluated the surface properties, mechanical and electrical properties of copper foil electroplated in electrolytes containing the leveler JGB (Janus Green B). When the..... More

Abstract
Electroplated copper has been used as wiring in electronic circuit boards and as cathode materials for secondary batteries, and its usage has expanded into the construction industry because of its convenient production and high economic value. During the electroplating process, various parameters, such as crystal phase and size, can affect..... More
