Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrolytic foil and a battery current collector is provided in which the risk of breakage or tearing during manufacturing presented by reduced thickness can be restrained, and which possess sufficient strength for repeated charging and discharging in a secondary battery. The electrolytic foil and the battery current collector contain a Ni—Fe alloy layer, having a thickness of 1.5 to 10 μm and having a first surface and a second surface and wherein the value of a three-dimensional surface properties parameter Sv divided by the thickness is equal to or less than 0.5 for the first surface and the second surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . An electrolytic foil containing a Ni—Fe alloy layer, the electrolytic foil being characterized by having a thickness of 1.5 to 10 μm, by having a first surface and a second surface, and by that a value of a maximum valley depth Sv divided by the thickness is equal to or less than 0.5 for the first surface and the second surface, wherein at least one metallic layer of a metallic species different from the Ni—Fe alloy layer is laminated on the Ni—Fe alloy layer, and wherein a proportion of the thickness of the Ni—Fe alloy layer in the electrolytic foil is 18% to 95%. 2 . The electrolytic foil according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness is 2.0 to 8.0 μm. 3 . The electrolytic foil according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the Ni—Fe alloy layer is 2.0 to 9.9 μm. 4 . The electrolytic foil according to claim 1 , wherein a total thickness of the at least one metallic layer is 0.1 to 8.0 μm. 5 . The electrolytic foil according to claim 1 , wherein tensile strength of the electrolytic foil exceeds 720 MPa. 6 . A battery current collector comprising: the electrolytic foil according to claim 1 .
