Abstract
The controllable microstructure and the overall performance improvement of electrodeposited nano twinned Cu (nt-Cu) foil are crucial for the sustainable development of high energy density batteries and microelectronics technology. Although pulse electrodeposition (PED) and additives have been widely used in controlling nt-Cu foil, there is still a lack of research on the controllable microstructure of nt-Cu foil and its microstructure depended properties. In this study, nt-Cu foils with different orientations were prepared by adjusting the Toff time and additives during the PED process. The effects of these parameters on the microstructure and comprehensive properties of the nt-Cu foil were studied. The Toff time and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-3-mercapto-1-propanesulfonate sodium salt (MPS)-(chloride ions)Cl− (PEG-MPS-Cl−) additive changed the kinetic parameters of the electrochemical reaction and ultimately affected the reduction rate of Cu2+ and the overpotential of the deposition process. This modulation effectively regulated the nucleation and growth behavior of Cu atoms, thereby reducing the surface roughness of the nt-Cu foil, refining the grains, and forming nano-twins with different orientations. Due to the combined strengthening effect of grain refinement, dislocation, and texture orientation, (111) oriented nt-Cu foil demonstrated remarkable mechanical and frictional wear properties, whereas (220) oriented nt-Cu foil exhibited superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. These findings may offer promising prospects for the controllable design of engineering textures and nano-twin structures of high-performance nt-Cu foil by electrodeposition.
