Explore the application. 

Copper foil electrodeposition is the electrolytic process of producing ultra-thin copper layers by reducing copper ions to metallic copper on a substrate using electricity.

This thin sheet of copper is a fundamental product with two primary applications: it serves as the conductive basis of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and acts as the anodic current collector in lithium-ion batteries.
From consumer electronics like smartphones and laptops to large-scale applications in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, electrodeposited copper foil is essential for modern technology.

The quality of copper foil electrodeposition directly impacts the performance of PCBs and lithium-ion batteries. That’s where De Nora makes the difference.  
Our high-performance DSA® anodes provide the stability and precision you need to achieve consistent results and reduce operating costs. In particular, they offer:

High-quality copper foil for electronics & energy.

Designed to operate in a variety of operating conditions, De Nora DSA® anodes support the full range of foil thicknesses, morphology, and surface finishing of foils as demanded by various market applications: rigid and flexible PCBs, IC substrates, HDI boards, and anodic current collectors for lithium-ion batteries in smartphones, notebooks, PCs, and electric vehicles. 
With superior throwing power and uniform plating, you can count on advanced anode solutions for high-performance electronics and electrification.

Reliability & durability.

Unlike soluble anodes, De Nora insoluble DSA® anodes do not deform, degrade, or generate sludge, ensuring clean electrolytes and consistent output over time.
At end of life, electrodes can be recoated or reactivated, preserving the mechanical structure and reducing TCO.

Efficiency & cost savings.

Tailored catalytic coatings minimize ohmic losses, reduce additive consumption, and extend bath stability.
Our patented technologies for different anode designs, including detachable panels, mesh and sheet structures, allow manufacturers to operate at reduced electrode gaps, achieving ultra-thin copper foil production with lower energy use and improved yields.
