Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The electrode for the power storage device includes carbon nanotubes, an ionic liquid, and a three-dimensional network metal porous body having a plurality of pore portions filled with the carbon nanotubes and the ionic liquid, wherein, in pore portions exposed at a surface of the three-dimensional network metal porous body, of the plurality of pore portions, a ratio (d/D) between a pore portion diameter (D) in a first direction within the surface of the three-dimensional network metal porous body and a pore portion diameter (d) in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction within the surface of the three-dimensional network metal porous body is in a range of 0<d/D<1, and pore portions in said range account for more than or equal to 95% and less than or equal to 100% of the pore portions exposed at the surface.

First claim

1 . An electrode for a power storage device, comprising: carbon nanotubes; an ionic liquid; and a three-dimensional network metal porous body having a plurality of pore portions filled with said carbon nanotubes and said ionic liquid, wherein in pore portions exposed at a surface of said three-dimensional network metal porous body, of said plurality of pore portions, a ratio (d/D) between a pore portion diameter (D) in a first direction within the surface of said three-dimensional network metal porous body and a pore portion diameter (d) in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction within the surface of said three-dimensional network metal porous body is in a range of 0<d/D<1, and pore portions in said range account for more than or equal to 95% and less than or equal to 100% of the pore portions exposed at said surface. 2 . The electrode for a power storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio (d/D) between the pore portion diameter (D) in said first direction and the pore portion diameter (d) in said second direction is in a range of 0.3≦d/D≦0.8. 3 . The electrode for a power storage device according to claim 1 , wherein a length direction of said carbon nanotubes is substantially parallel to said first direction. 4 . A power storage device, comprising an electrode for a power storage device as recited in claim 1 . 5 . The power storage device according to claim 4 , formed by joining, to said three-dimensional network metal porous body, a tab lead which collects power in said first direction. 6 . A method for manufacturing an electrode for a power storage device, comprising the steps of: kneading carbon nanotubes and an ionic liquid to produce a kneaded material; and charging said kneaded material into pore portions of a three-dimensional network metal porous body having a plurality of pore portions, wherein in pore portions exposed at a surface of said three-dimensional network metal porous body, of said plurality of pore portions, a ratio (d/D) between a pore portion diameter (D) in a first direction within the surface of said three-dimensional network metal porous body and a pore portion diameter (d) in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction within the surface of said three-dimensional network metal porous body is in a range of 0<d/D<1, and pore portions in said range account for more than or equal to 95% and less than or equal to 100% of the pore portions exposed at said surface.
