Abstract

A metal foil 1 is produced by passing an electric current between a cathode 5 and an anode 4 immersed in a metal ion-containing electrolyte 3 to form a thin metal film on the surface of the cathode 5 and subsequently releasing the metal film 1 from the cathode 5. The cathode 5 has a surface roughness of not more than 0.8~m, and the surface of cathode is preferably made of Ti, a Ti alloy, stainless steel, Cr, a Cr alloy or Cr-plated steel. The electrodeposited metal film is preferably formed of copper or nickel. The cathode surface may be polished mechanically or chemically to reduce the surface roughness. The foil produced may be used as a current collector of a secondary battery.

Description

NETHOD FOR PRODUCING METAL FOIL This invention relates to a metal foil having pores, which can be used for example as a filter, a printing screen, an electromagnetic wave shield, or a current collector in a secondary battery.
There are metal foils having fine pores so far reported such as (1) one having a number of pores in a prescribed pattern, (2) one having three-dimensional pores at a high porosity with no prescribed pattern, and (3) one having fine pores at a high density (l) There are methods to produce a metal foil having a number of pores in a prescribed pattern such as (A) a method in which a rolled or electrodeposited metal foil having no pores is perforated by etching, punching, drilling etc, (B) a method in which non-plated pattern is formed on an insulating substrate by using an insulating substrate such as a photoresist., and thereafter an electrodeposited foil is obtained, (C) a method in which a prescribed pattern corresponding to the area not to be plated on an electrically conductive substrate is formed by using an insulating material such as a photoresist, and thereafter an electrodeposited foil is obtained, and (D) a method in which concave portions are provided on an electrically conductive substrate, the concave portions are filled with an insulating material to form a nonplated pattern, and thereafter an electrodeposited foil is obtained. The metal foil (1) having fine pores obtained by these methods are chiefly used as a filter or a printing screen.
(2) There is foamed nickel as a metal foil having three-dimensional pores at high porosity, which is mainly used for an electrode of a battery. The foamed nickel is produced by electroplating with nickel a foamed urethane substrate having been rendered electrically conductive, followed by heat treatment.
(3) The metal foil having fine pores at a high density is disclosed in Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication (kokai) No. Hei. 8-236120, etc. for use in a secondary battery.
According to the disclosure, a cathode is subjected to anodizing/oxidizing treatment and then electroplated with copper or nickel to produce porous electrodeposited copper or nickel foil.
The methods for producing the metal foil (1) involve many stepsr incurring the cost, and are unsuitable for mass production, or raise a problem as disposal of etching waste liquid. The method for producing the metal foil (2) also involves many steps and is not applicable to production of thin metal foil. The method for producing the metal foil (3) is simpler and expected to be suitable for mass ..production.
However, the resulting foil is disadvantageous n that its surface on the cathode side (S surface) and its surface on the opposite side (M surface) greatly differ in surface roughness.
According to this invention a method for producing a metal foil having fine pores comprises the steps of: applying an electric current between a cathode and an anode immersed in a metal ion-containing electrolyte to form a thin metal on a surface of the cathode; and releasing said metal film from said cathode to obtain a metal foil; wherein said cathode has a surface roughness (Rz) of not more than 0.8cm.
According to the present invention, it is possible to produce electrodeposited metal foil having fine pores and the similar surface roughness on the S and M surfaces thereof. It is also applicable to mass production without problems such as disposal of etching waste liquid, or an increase in the number of steps or of cost.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 schematically illustrates an apparatus for producing electrodeposited metal foil.
Detailed description of the present invention will be described as follows.
The present invention provides a method for producing a metal foil having fine pores in which an electric current is applied between an anode immersed in an metal ion-containing electrolyte and a cathode, whose surface roughness Rz is not more than 0.8cm, mainly composed of titanium, a titanium alloy, stainless steel, chromium, a chromium alloy or chromium-plated steel to produce a metal thin film on the cathode, and thereafter, the metal layer is peeled to produce a metal foil having fine pores.
The present invention relates to a method for producing a metal foil having fine pores by electrodeposition, which will be described in detail.
In general, electrodeposited metal foil is produced as follows.
An electric current is applied between a rotating drum (cathode) made of titanium, stainless steel, chromium, chromium-plated steel, etc. and an anode 4 which is immersed in an electrolyte 3 containing an metal ion to thereby form a thin film of the metal on the rotating drum surface. Then, the metal film 1 is stripped off the drum 5 and wound in coil-shape 9. The thus obtained metal foil 1 has two different surfaces; a growth surface which has been in contact with-the plating bath (referred to an M surface) and a glossy surface which has been in contact with the cathode (referred to an S surface). The M surface has a matte appearance, while the S surface is a replica of the cathode surface, having semigloss or a metallic luster. The surface roughness of the S surface is substantially the same as that of the cathode surface.
The electrodeposited metal foil thus produced sometimes suffers from pinholes, one of the serious defects of metal foil. Because the pinholes have their origin in the thin oxide layer of the cathode surface, the cathode surface is polished with a polishing pad periodically or continuously. The polished surface profile of the cathode usually shows uniform roughness, giving semigloss or a metallic luster. The surface roughness Rz of the polished cathode surface is usually 1 to 3 Wm. Electrodeposited metal foil formed on such a polished cathode usually has a surface roughness Rz of 3 to 15 wm on the M surface and of 1 to 3 Wm on the S surface, while depending on the~foil thickness.
We, the inventors of the present invention, have noted the surface profile of the cathode surface and conducted extensive studies on cathodes polished to a varied degree of surface roughness. As a result, we have found that, when in using a cathode having a surface roughness Rz of not greater than 0.8Cun in electrode deposition, there is obtained electrodeposited metal foil which has fine pores, and whose M and S surfaces have similar surface roughness, i.e., the surface roughness Rz on the M surface ranging from 3 to 20cm, while that on the S surface ranging from 3 to 15Cun. It has also turned out that, in using a cathode whose surface roughness Rz is greater than 0.8 Wm, the resulting metal foil is not porous or, if porous, the pores are very scarce in number.
While the smoothness of the cathode surface is not particularly limited, the practical lower limit of the surface roughness Rz is preferably 0.01 Wm taking labor and cost of polishing into consideration.
The metal foil having fine pores produced by the method of the present invention has about 10 to 300 pores per mm2, and the pores have an irregular shape having a diameter varying from about 0.1 to 100 Clam. The shapes and arrangement of pores are irregular.
The electrolysis apparatus, the anode, and the electrolyte to be used in the practice of the present invention can be similar to the conventional one. For example, the electrolysis apparatus shown in Figure can be used. The anode includes insoluble electrodes of lead or platinum. A commonly used sulfuric acid-acidic bath containing 200 to 350 gIl of copper sulfate pentahydrate, 50 to 250 g/l of sulfuric acid, and small amounts of additives can be used as an electrolyte for the production of electrodeposited copper foil. Watts bath or a sulfamic acid bath can be used for the production of electrodeposited nickel foil as usual.
Materials of the cathode include titanium, a titanium alloy, stainless steel, chromium, a chromium alloy or chromiumplated steel. The manner of polishing the cathode surface to reduce the surface roughness Rz to 0.8 Wm or less is not particularly restricted, and generally employed mechanical or chemical polishing methods can be used. For example, mechanical polishing is carried out using emery paper, waterresistant abrasive paper, nylon nonwoven cloth impregnated with alumina or silicon carbide abrasive grains, and loose alumina abrasive grains.
The resulting electrodeposited metal foil can be used as a filter, an electromagnetic wave shield, a current collector of a secondary battery, and the like. In applications where adhesion is required, one or both sides or the foil can be made roughened in a known manner. For example, various single- or doubled-sided treatments for preparing copper foil are described in Examined Japanese Patent Publication Nos. Sho. 45-34245 and Sho. 50-40109.
