Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a device for cutting a foil which contains at least one layer of metal. The laser for cutting the foil is controlled such that pulsed laser radiation cuts through at least one layer of metal of the foil such that the metal of the foil is mostly sublimated and scarcely melts. The resulting laser-cut foil does not have, or has very small sized, bead structures and/or metal splashes of solidified metal. When the foil is used in a battery, the electric performance and durability of the battery are greater and the risk of a short circuit is lower.
