Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a cathode current collector for an electrical energy storage device and a method for manufacturing the same, which improves adhesion between a current collector and an electrode material and provide a high reaction surface area, thereby improving the performance of the electrical energy storage. In particular, a first alumina film is formed on the surface of an aluminum foil using an anodic oxidation process. Next, the first alumina film formed on a surface of the aluminum foil is removed through etching and a second alumina film is formed on the surface of the aluminum foil, from which the first alumina film is removed, using the anodic oxidation process again. Subsequently, a carbon layer is coated on a surface of the aluminum foil on which the second alumina film is formed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cathode current collector for an electrical energy storage device, the cathode current collector comprising: an aluminum foil layer on which an alumina film having a nanoporous structure is formed; and a conductive carbon layer coated on a surface of the aluminum foil layer, wherein the nanoporous structure is a nano-honeycomb structure, wherein the conductive carbon layer is comprised of a graphite. 2. A cathode for an electric…
