ELECTROLYTIC COPPER FOIL AND ELECTRODE AND LITHIUM-ION CELL COMPRISING THE SAME

Provided are an electrolytic copper foil, an electrode, and a lithium-ion cell. The electrolytic copper foil comprising copper and chloride is analyzed by TOF-SIMS along its thickness direction to obtain a spectrum of a relative depth ratio as X-axis and a relative intensity of chloride versus copper as Y-axis. There is a chloride peak located between 20% and 80% of the relative depth ratio in the spectrum, and the chloride peak is characterized by a maximum relative intensity of chloride versus copper ranging from 0.77% to 5.13% and a full width at half maximum ranging from 2.31% to 5.78%. With above characteristics, the electrolytic copper foil has low density of copper particles, low degree of warpage, and good coating uniformity of the active material applied thereon, thereby optimizing the efficiency of a lithium-ion cell comprising the electrolytic copper foil.
