Abstract

An electrically conductive base includes a holding body and covering particles. The holding body includes a first super engineering plastic having non-crystallinity. The covering particles are dispersed in the holding body, and each include a center part and a covering part. The center part includes an electrically conductive material. The covering part covers a surface of the center part and includes a second super engineering plastic having crystallinity.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electrically conductive base comprising:
a holding body including a first super engineering plastic having non-crystallinity; and
covering particles dispersed in the holding body, the covering particles each including a center part and a covering part, the center part including an electrically conductive material, the covering part covering a surface of the center part and including a second super engineering plastic having crystallinity.

2. The electrically conductive base according to claim 1 , wherein
the first super engineering plastic includes at least one of polyetherimide, polysulfone, polyphenylsulfone, or polyarylate, and
the second super engineering plastic includes at least one of polyphenylenesulfide, polyetheretherketone, polyethersulfone, or polyamideimide.

3. The electrically conductive base according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive material includes a fibrous carbon material.

4. The electrically conductive base according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a weight of the holding body to a sum total of the weight of the holding body and a weight of the covering part is greater than a ratio of the weight of the covering part to the sum total of the weight of the holding body and the weight of the covering part.

5. A secondary battery comprising the electrically conductive base according to claim 1 as a current collector.

6. The secondary battery according to claim 5 , comprising a battery device in which the current collector and an electrode element are alternately stacked, wherein
the electrode element includes:
a positive electrode active material layer;
a negative electrode active material layer;
a separator disposed between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer;
a first electrolyte layer interposed between the positive electrode active material layer and the separator; and
a second electrolyte layer interposed between the negative electrode active material layer and the separator.
