Double-Sided Conductive Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel Foil Description
Double-Sided Conductive
Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel Foil is an advanced electrode material developed
for high-performance energy storage and electrochemical systems. It consists of
a stainless steel substrate coated on both sides with a uniform layer of
conductive carbon. It is designed to enhance electrical performance while
maintaining excellent mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
The stainless steel core provides
structural integrity, high tensile strength, and thermal stability, making it
ideal for environments with high current loads or temperature fluctuations. The
carbon coating, applied through precise techniques such as slurry coating and
thermal curing, ensures excellent electrical conductivity and forms a stable
interface with active electrode materials. Its double-sided design enables
symmetrical conductivity and improved adhesion, supporting efficient
charge/discharge cycles and minimizing internal resistance.
Additionally, the carbon layer
protects the metal substrate from corrosion, especially in harsh electrolytic
environments, extending the electrode’s lifespan and maintaining consistent
performance over long operating cycles. The carbon surface also improves
bonding with various active materials, contributing to enhanced electrochemical
activity and reliability.
This material is widely used in
lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid energy
storage devices. Its combination of strength, conductivity, and resistance to
chemical degradation makes it an ideal choice for next-generation energy
solutions and demanding industrial applications.

1. Common Preparation Methods
The preparation of Double-Sided
Conductive Carbon-Coated Stainless Steel Foil begins with the selection and
cleaning of high-grade stainless steel foil to remove any surface oxides, oils,
or contaminants that could affect coating adhesion. A specially formulated
carbon slurry, containing conductive carbon materials, binders, solvents, and
dispersants, is then applied to both sides of the stainless steel using
precision coating techniques such as roll-to-roll, slot-die, or doctor blade
coating. The coating process is carefully controlled to ensure uniform
thickness and surface coverage. After application, the coated foil is passed
through a drying oven to remove solvents, followed by thermal curing or baking
at elevated temperatures to improve adhesion strength, remove residual
volatiles, and enhance the conductivity and structural integrity of the carbon
layers. Additional calendaring may be performed to compress the coating layers,
reduce surface roughness, and achieve desired mechanical properties. The final
product is inspected for coating uniformity, electrical resistance, adhesion,
and surface quality. Once the material meets technical specifications, it is
slit, cut, or rolled according to application requirements and packaged for
shipment. This process ensures the foil delivers high conductivity, corrosion
resistance, and durability for advanced electrochemical and energy storage
applications.
