Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A negative electrode for use in an iron-air secondary battery of the present invention comprises a three-dimensionally formed structure in which particles of metal powder comprising iron or an iron alloy as a principal component are coupled to each other through metallic bonding, wherein the negative electrode has a porosity of greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 70%. A production method of a negative electrode for an iron-air secondary battery of the present invention comprises: mixing with a resin, metal powder comprising iron or an iron alloy as a principle component; molding a mixture obtained after the mixing; and sintering a molded body obtained after the molding.

1 . A negative electrode for use in an iron-air secondary battery, the negative electrode comprising a three-dimensionally formed structure in which particles of metal powder comprising iron or an iron alloy as a principal component are coupled to each other through metallic bonding, wherein the negative electrode has a porosity of greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 70%. 2 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensionally formed structure is a sintered body of the metal powder. 3 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensionally formed structure has continuous air holes. 4 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein carbon or sulfur is attached to a surface of the three-dimensionally formed structure. 5 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein a mean particle diameter of the metal powder is greater than or equal to 10 μm and less than or equal to 100 μm. 6 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the metal powder is water-atomized powder. 7 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the iron-air secondary battery comprises a solid electrolyte. 8 . An iron-air secondary battery comprising the negative electrode according to claim 1 . 9 . A production method of a negative electrode for an iron-air secondary battery, comprising: mixing with a resin, metal powder comprising iron or an iron alloy as a principle component; molding a mixture obtained after the mixing; and sintering a molded body obtained after the molding.
