Copper Foil Electrodeposition

Trusted leader in electrochemistry providing anodes for copper foil electrodeposition. 

With nearly a century of experience, De Nora can support the copper foil manufacturing industry with electrodeposition cell design and electrolytic process optimization, allowing them to operate at a very reduced electrodes gap, and to produce ultra-thin copper foil. 

DSA® anodes decrease cost of operation and increase efficiency for high-quality copper foil manufacturing. 

We offer: 

• Patented anode technologies for all electrodeposition cell designs: detachable panels, based structures, and supporting frames. 
• DSA® anodes for electrochemical surface treatment of metal foil, to provide the final product attributes 
• Highest level of field service and technical assistance available due to global presence  
• Maintenance agreement for anodes refurbishment, recoating, repair, refreshing service for lead removal/washing (Pb washing) 
• Customized offers, including leasing contracts and periodic monitoring of anodes performance 

Why chose De Nora DSA anodes for copper foil manufacturing? 

Our insoluble anodes for copper foil ED allow operation under varied operating conditions to produce a full range of quality foils and thickness (including ultra-thin foil), covering many applications: 

• PCBs manufacturing, largely diffused in all the electric and electronics equipment we generally use in our daily life 
• as negative current collector for lithium batteries that find application in smartphones, notebooks, personal computers and electric vehicles 

De Nora is the partner of choice for the copper foil industry. 

In addition to all of the above, we offer collaboration and partnership with all of our customers to ensure the ideal solution is achieved. 

Technical assistance at De Nora’s laboratories, and global R&D facilities, collaborate with metal foil companies to optimize operating conditions or qualify new additives influencing anode performances. Additionally, we collaborate to develop innovative electrolytic coatings that are able to achieve the most challenging requirements in terms of surface morphology and internal structure. 

In line with our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, De Nora prioritizes sustainable practices in the production and application of our anode technologies. Our solutions are designed to minimize environmental impact by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing waste in the copper foil electrodeposition process. We support the circular economy through our maintenance and refurbishment services, extending the lifecycle of our anodes. Additionally, De Nora is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of social responsibility by ensuring safe and fair working conditions across our global operations. Our governance practices emphasize transparency, ethical conduct, and continuous improvement, aligning with the best practices in corporate responsibility. By choosing De Nora, our partners not only benefit from top-tier technological solutions but also contribute to a more sustainable and ethically managed industry.
