SK Nexilis develops high-adhesion carbon-coated copper foil, targets mass production in second half of 2027

SK Nexilis has secured copper foil materials technology for next-generation batteries, developing a high-adhesion carbon-coated copper foil by coating the surface with special carbon. The company said the technology aims to reduce delamination of active materials from copper foil in battery electrodes by improving adhesion with anode materials. It is designed to respond to higher silicon content in anodes and to be used in dry electrode processes. The company plans pilot production and targets commercialization in the second half of 2027.

European car and battery industries put \'made in Europe\' to the test

Europe\'s car industry has again called for an additional delay to electric vehicle battery rules of origin, putting confidence in Europe\'s industrial policy under scrutiny. T&E, Eurometaux and Cefic urged the EU executive to apply the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement rules as scheduled. The rules link tariff-free access to the British market to use of European-made batteries and cathode materials. Battery and materials groups say capacity will exceed required demand and want purchases, not delays.
