Powering scientific innovation and enabling next-generation zinc energy technologies.
In aqueous batteries, electrochemical systems, and functional interface engineering, the purity, surface state, and interfacial wettability of zinc metal play a decisive role in electrochemical reversibility, dendrite behavior, corrosion resistance, and long-term cycling stability.
To address both intrinsic material performance and electrolyte–electrode interfacial challenges, Youveim® offers two complementary zinc foil solutions:
Youveim® High-Purity Zinc Foil — focused on material purity, conductivity, and structural stability
Youveim® Hydrophilic Zinc Foil — focused on wettability control and interfacial mass-transfer optimization
Together, they provide a flexible and scalable zinc platform for cutting-edge research and battery engineering.
Youveim® High-Purity Zinc Foil is manufactured from ultra-high-purity zinc (≥99.99%), with trace impurities strictly controlled. Designed specifically for scientific research and electrochemical energy applications, it delivers excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical processability.
This material is widely used in zinc-ion batteries, zinc–air batteries, zinc–manganese systems, electrochemical testing, electrode development, and corrosion-resistant structures.
