This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18817254 titled 'COMPOSITE METAL FOIL AND LITHIUM BATTERY INCLUDING THE SAME
Original Abstract Submitted
A composite metal foil and a lithium battery including the same are provided, wherein the composite metal foil includes a conductive substrate, a first metal layer, and a second metal layer. The first metal layer is disposed at at least one surface of the conductive substrate and in direct contact with the conductive substrate, and the first metal layer is nickel (Ni). The second metal layer is disposed at a surface of the first metal layer. A nucleation overpotential of the second metal layer is less than a nucleation overpotential of the first metal layer, and a material of the second metal layer is at least one selected from the group consisting of zinc (Zn), tin (Sn), indium (In), silver (Ag), a zinc alloy, and a tin alloy.
