About this material
A one-micron carbon layer does three things at once: it raises surface energy so the slurry wets and bonds, it drops the contact resistance between coating and foil, and it shields the aluminium from HF attack in high-voltage cells.
The layer is thin enough not to affect energy density but thick enough to matter for adhesion. It is the standard choice for LFP cells with high loading, for aqueous cathode processing where bare aluminium wets poorly, and for any electrode above 3 mAh/cm².
Documentation, controls and care
Quality controls
- Certificate of analysis per batch
- Moisture by Karl Fischer, reported per lot
- Trace metal screening
- Retained samples held for 12 months
Handling & storage
- Store in a dry environment below 30 °C, away from direct sunlight.
- Equilibrate to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation on the material.
- Dry at 60–80 °C under vacuum before use where the process requires it.
