Smooth and strong copper foils are highly required for the development of printed circuit boards and Li-ion batteries.Adding additives is an efficient and low-cost method to enhance electrodeposited copper foils.Here we chose Bis-(3-sulfopropyl)-disulfide (SPS) as the additive and investigated its concentration on the surface roughness and tensile strength of the electrodeposited copper foils.A copper foil with the smoothest surface (Rz=2.1 μm) and the highest tensile strength (~338 MPa) was prepared with 1.5 mg/L SPS.The contact angle on the copper foil decreased with the reduction of surface roughness.The enhancing mechanism of the SPS was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.The refined grain and enhanced (220) texture were considered to be the radical reason for the smooth and strong copper foils.The electrochemical results prove the suppressing effect is related to the SPS adsorption.
