Industry Solution Path

Battery and energy storage material path

Battery material decisions should connect current density, weldability, electrolyte exposure, thermal cycling and traceability before choosing strip, foil or clad material.

Recommended Materials

  • NCC strip or foil for nickel surface behavior with copper-core conductivity
  • Copper strip and copper foil for current collection and busbar support
  • Nickel strip or nickel-related clad materials after weldability review
  • Flat wire for compact current paths where geometry is defined

Selection Path

  1. 1 Define cell chemistry, tab geometry, current density and pack process.
  2. 2 Choose NCC, copper strip or foil by weldability, conductivity and corrosion condition.
  3. 3 Validate welding window, peel/pull strength, surface and lot traceability.

RFQ Checklist

  • Cell type, pack process and drawing
  • Thickness, width, surface and edge requirement
  • Welding method and acceptance criteria
  • Traceability, sample quantity and annual demand

Validation Notes

  • Do not choose battery tabs by conductivity alone.
  • Surface, weldability and electrolyte exposure often decide qualification risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Nickel Clad Copper for battery tabs?

Nickel Clad Copper (NCC) combines the excellent electrical conductivity of copper with the superior weldability and corrosion resistance of nickel. This reduces internal resistance and heat generation while ensuring reliable cell interconnections.

How does this improve battery pack safety?

Lower contact resistance means less heat is generated during charging and discharging. Additionally, the superior weld reliability reduces the risk of loose connections which can cause arcing or failure.

Can you customize the ratio of Nickel to Copper?

Yes, we can adjust the cladding ratio (e.g., 10/80/10, 20/80) and dimensions to meet specific cell design and performance requirements.
