Titanium conversion coatings on the aluminum foil AA 8021 used for lithium–ion battery package
In this study, an environment-friendly titanium (Ti) conversion coating was successfully deposited on the aluminum foil AA 8021 in the solution containing hexafluorotitanic acid (H 2 TiF 6 ), and its morphology, composition, growth process, hydrophilicity and corrosion resistance were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectric spectroscopy (XPS), contact-angle measurements (CAM) and salt spray exposure. The peeling strength between the Ti treated Al foil and the modified polypropylene (PP) film (PP grafted with maleic anhydride, PP- g -MAH) (Al/PP- g -MAH) was measured by T-peeling test. The results show that the Ti conversion coating is a multi-component coating composed primarily of metal oxides (TiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 ) and metal fluoride (AlF 3 ). Ti treated Al foil shows better corrosion resistance than untreated and alkali-cleaned Al foils. The peeling strength of PP- g -MAH film with Ti treated Al foils is approximately 30 times higher than that with untreated Al foils. Thus, Ti treatment is a promising approach to improve the corrosion resistance and peeling strength of aluminum/polymer composite film (Al/P) used in the lithium–ion battery package.
