Cathode copper is a pure copper material prepared through an electrolytic process. In the production process of electrolytic copper, coarse copper plates are used as anodes, while pure copper sheets serve as cathodes, which are immersed in the electrolyte of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate mixture. By energizing, the metal ions of crude copper gradually dissolve and free up in the electrolyte, then migrate to the cathode, where they accept electrons and precipitate into pure copper on the cathode.

Therefore, this process is also known as electrolysis, and the pure copper produced is commonly referred to as cathode copper. This preparation method ensures high-purity copper, which is commonly used in electronic, communication, and other high-demand applications. Cathode copper is an alloy of copper, which is a metal-containing copper. It refers to a highly crystalline copper salt, mainly composed of copper and elements such as lead, zinc, tin, etc. It is a copper material containing more than 30% copper.
Cathode copper is a major form of copper, mainly used in the production of various copper products. Its upstream raw materials are mainly copper-containing ores, such as chalcopyrite, bornite, etc. After a series of beneficiation, smelting, and electrolysis processes, high-purity cathode copper is finally obtained. Cathode copper is widely used downstream in various industries such as power, electronics, construction, transportation, and home appliances, such as wires and cables, circuit boards, copper pipes, copper rods, etc. In addition, cathode copper is also used in the manufacture of coins and artworks due to its good conductivity and plasticity.
Cathode copper is widely used in various fields, such as power, electronics, transportation equipment, and organic chemistry, due to its excellent conductivity, thermal conductivity, ductility, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. However, with the continuous development of technology and the increasing demand for environmental protection, the cathode copper industry is facing some potential substitute risks. The emergence of new materials and technological advancements will provide more competitive alternatives for specific application scenarios. Therefore, the cathode copper industry needs to innovate to cope with market changes constantly.
