Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an electrode including: a current, collector; an electrode material mixture; and an electrode tab, the current collector being a porous metal body having a region A and a region B with a porosity lower than that of the region A, the region A having pores filled with the electrode material mixture, the electrode tab being fixed on the region B, the region A having a subregion A 1 and a subregion A 2 with a porosity lower than that of the subregion A 1 , the subregion A 2 being more distant from the electrode tab than the subregion A 1 . Also provided is an electricity storage device including the electrode.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An electrode comprising: a current collector; an electrode material mixture; and an electrode tab, the current collector being a porous metal body having a region A and a region B with a porosity lower than that of the region A, the region A having pores filled with the electrode material mixture, the electrode tab being fixed on the region B, the region A having a subregion A 1 and a subregion A 2 with a porosity lower than that of the subregion A 1 , the subregion A 2 being more distant from the electrode tab than the subregion A 1 . 2 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the region B has a subregion B 1 on which the electrode tab is fixed and a subregion B 2 on which no electrode tab is fixed, and the subregion B 1 has a porosity lower than that of the region A. 3 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the region A further has a subregion A 3 that connects the subregion A 2 and the region B, and the subregion A 3 has a porosity lower than that of the subregion A 1 . 4 . The electrode according to claim 2 , wherein the region A further has a subregion A 3 that connects the subregion A 2 and the region B, and the subregions A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , B 1 , and B 2 respectively have a porosity of ε A1 , a porosity of ε A2 , a porosity of ε A3 , a porosity of ε B1 , and a porosity of ε B2 satisfying the formula: ε A1 >ε A3 ≥ε A2 >ε B2 ≥ε B1 . 5 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the current collector has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. 6 . An electricity storage device comprising the electrode according to claim 1 .
