## Abstract

Provided are: a highly reliable secondary battery electrode plate; and a secondary battery using same. The electrode plate is a positive electrode plate for a secondary battery, the positive electrode plate having a metallic positive electrode core body and a positive electrode active material layer formed on both surfaces of the positive electrode core body, wherein the positive electrode plate has a first edge and a positive electrode tab protruding from the first edge, and a fluorine-containing coating is formed on the end surface of the positive electrode core body at the first edge of the positive electrode plate. The secondary battery has the positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A secondary battery electrode plate comprising a metal core body and an active material layer on both major surfaces of the core body, the both major surfaces of the core body being opposite to each other, wherein
the electrode plate has a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, and a tab that protrudes from the first side,
a coating containing fluorine is formed on an end surface of the core body on the first side, the end surface of the core body being connected to the both major surfaces of the core body,
the active material layer is located away from the first side of the electrode plate,
the coating containing fluorine is disposed on a portion of the end surface which is non-coplanar with the major surfaces of the core body,
the coating is a coating containing aluminum fluoride, and
the thickness of the coating is less than 1 μm.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The secondary battery electrode plate according to claim 1, wherein the thickness of the core body on the first side is larger than that of a portion of the core body, the portion having the active material layer formed on the portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The secondary battery electrode plate according to claim 1, wherein the core body is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The secondary battery electrode plate according to claim 1, wherein the coating is a resin coating containing fluorine.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The secondary battery electrode plate according to claim 1, wherein the coating is also formed on an end surface of the tab.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A secondary battery comprising:
the electrode plate according to claim 1; and
another electrode plate having a polarity different from that of the electrode plate.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The secondary battery electrode plate according to claim 1, wherein the electrode plate includes, along the first side of the core body, an active material layer-free portion in which the active material layer is not formed, such that the end surface of the core body having the coating thereon is free of the active material layer.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The secondary battery electrode plate according to claim 1, wherein the tab is monolithic with the core body.
