Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This secondary battery electrode is provided with a core material configured from a metal foil that softens at less than or equal to 200° C., and an electrode mixture sheet which is bonded on the surface of the core material. The electrode mixture sheet includes an active material and a fibrous binder, and the active material bites into the core material, with the maximum bite depth at least 30% of the thickness of the core material. The fibrous binder may for example have polytetrafluoroethylene as the main component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrode for a secondary battery, comprising: a core constituted with a metal foil that softens at 200° C. or lower; and an electrode mixture sheet joined to a surface of the core, wherein the electrode mixture sheet includes an active material and a fibrous binder, and the active material is embedded in the core and a maximum embedded depth is 30% or more of a thickness of the core. 2. The electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the fibrous binder is mainly composed of polytetrafluoroethylene. 3. The electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the core is an aluminum alloy foil containing 1.2 to 1.7 mass % of iron. 4. The electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a melting point of the fibrous binder is higher than a softening point of the core by 100° C. or more.
