Abstract
An electrode having a current collector with a plurality of through holes, and active material layers provided on both sides of the current collector. The current collector has projections extending on the top side or on the back side of the current collector from edges of the through holes, and an angle between each of the projections and a surface direction of the current collector is in the range of 30 to 80°.
Claims3
An electrode comprising:
- a current collector having a plurality of through holes;
- and
- an active material layer provided on a surface of the current collector, wherein
- the current collector has four-segmented projections extending from edges of the through holes to the outside of the through holes,
- an angle between each of the projections and the surface of the current collector is in the range of 30 to 80°,
- the through holes are quadrangular,
- the projections are provided on respective sides forming the edges of the through holes so as to extend each to the outside of the through holes, and
- a pair of projections of the four-segmented projections extending from two adjacent sides of one through hole, out of the projections provided on the respective sides of each through hole, extend in a direction to close the through hole and the other pair of projections of the four-segmented projections extending from the sides different from the two adjacent sides extend in a direction to extend away from the through hole.
