ELECTRODE FOR LITHIUM ION SECONDARY BATTERIES AND LITHIUM ION SECONDARY BATTERY

Abstract:

To provide an electrode for lithium ion secondary batteries, and a lithium ion secondary battery made using this electrode for lithium ion secondary batteries, which can sufficiently secure electron conductivity between a foam metal body and an electrode active material in an electrode for lithium ion secondary batteries which establish a foam metal body as the collector, reduce the resistance of a lithium ion secondary batter, and improve the durability. A carbon layer consisting of carbon material is disposed on a surface of a foam porous body consisting of metal, and used as a collector. More specifically, an electrode for lithium ion secondary batteries includes a collector, and an electrode mixture filled into the collector, in which the collector is made to have a carbon layer consisting of carbon material on a surface of a foam porous body consisting of metal.
