Copper: A Key Raw Material in The New Energy Sector
Nov 20, 2024
Basic properties of copper
Copper is a metal that has good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and ductility. Its electrical conductivity is second only to silver, but due to its relatively low cost, it has been widely used in the electrical field. The chemical symbol of copper is Cu, the atomic number is 29, and it has a face-centered cubic crystal structure. This structure gives copper good plasticity, allowing it to be easily processed into various shapes, such as wires, cables, sheets, etc.
Copper's high electrical conductivity results from the presence of free electrons in its atomic structure. Under the action of an electric field, these free electrons can move quickly, thereby achieving efficient transmission of electrical energy. In addition, copper also has good corrosion resistance. Especially in dry air, a protective film of copper oxide will form on the surface of copper to prevent further oxidation reactions.

Copper is widely used in new energy sources
Power Transmission And Grid Construction
In new energy power generation systems, whether it is a solar power station or a wind farm, it is crucial to efficiently and stably transmit the generated power to the user end. Copper is an ideal material for power transmission cables due to its excellent electrical conductivity.
For example, in large-scale solar photovoltaic power plants, copper cables are widely used in the entire power transmission line from photovoltaic panels to inverters, to step-up transformers, and finally to the grid. The series produced by ASWT is optimized and designed specifically to meet the needs of new energy power transmission. We use high-purity copper as raw material and use advanced wire drawing and insulation coating processes to ensure that the cable has low resistance, high current carrying capacity and good insulation properties. These cables can effectively reduce the loss of electrical energy during transmission and improve the efficiency of the entire power generation system.

New Energy Battery
In addition to the above applications, copper also has unique applications in the field of new energy batteries. In lithium-ion batteries, copper foil is used as the negative electrode current collector. The quality and performance of copper foil directly affect the charge and discharge performance, cycle life and safety of the battery.
ASWT is an industry leader in copper foil production. Our Copper Foil Product adopts advanced rolling process and has uniform thickness, high purity and good surface flatness. This copper foil can provide a good adhesion and conduction environment for lithium ions, helping to improve the overall performance of the battery. We continue to invest resources in research and development and are committed to improving the performance indicators of copper foil, such as reducing its surface roughness to improve the first charge and discharge efficiency of the battery, and improving its tensile strength to adapt to the processing requirements in the battery manufacturing process.
