Abstract

[Object]
To provide a current collector for battery, having a strength sufficient to suppress breakage and tears during production feared in association with thinning, and a battery having the current collector.
[Solving Means]
The current collector for battery according to the present invention has at least a first metal layer containing at least a metal selected from Cu, Fe, and Ni, and a second metal layer laminated on the first metal layer and containing at least a metal selected from Cu, Fe, and Ni other than the metal of the first metal layer. One of the first metal layer and the second metal layer contains the Ni, and a laminate interface between the first metal layer and the second metal layer has a roughness Ra≥0.12.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A current collector for battery, comprising at least:
a first metal plating layer having a thickness of 1 to 10 μm and containing at least a metal selected from Cu, Fe, and Ni; and
a second metal plating layer having a thickness of 1 to 10 μm laminated on the first metal plating layer and containing at least a metal selected from Cu, Fe, and Ni other than the metal of the first metal plating layer,
wherein one of either the first metal plating layer or the second metal plating layer contains Ni and a total thickness ratio of a layer of Ni to the thickness of the current collector is 20% to 50%,
wherein a laminate interface between the first metal plating layer and the second metal plating layer has a roughness Ra≥0.12 μm, and
wherein, when a ratio of an actually-measured surface area to an area of a measurement visual field on the laminate interface is defined as S and an interface roughness index of the laminate interface is defined as Ra/S, the laminate interface has an interface roughness index (Ra/S)≥0.06.

2. The current collector for battery according to claim 1 , wherein furthermore the laminate interface has a roughness Ry≥0.1 μm.

3. The current collector for battery according to claim 1 , wherein furthermore the laminate interface has a roughness Rz≥0.4 μm.

4. The current collector for battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal plating layer is composed of Ni, and the second metal plating layer is composed of Cu.

5. The current collector for battery according to claim 4 , wherein the first metal plating layer is sandwiched between the second metal plating layers, and the current collector for battery has a thickness of 4 to 10 μm.

6. The current collector for battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal plating layer is composed of Fe, and the second metal plating layer is composed of Ni.

7. The current collector for battery according to claim 6 , wherein the first metal plating layer is sandwiched between the second metal plating layers, and the current collector for battery has a thickness of 4 to 20 μm.

8. A battery comprising a current collector for battery according to claim 1 .
