Abstract: A current collector for a secondary battery (1) of the present invention includes a resin layer (2) having electrical conductivity, and an ion barrier layer (3) provided on the surface of the resin layer (2). The ion barrier layer (3) contains ion trapping particles (6) in which metal compounds (5) are provided on the surfaces of metal containing particles (4). The ion trapping particles (6) are continuously provided from an interface (7) between the resin layer (2) and the ion barrier layer (3) toward a surface (3a) of the ion barrier layer (3). Thus, the ion barrier layer (3) prevents from the entry of ions, so that the ion adsorption in the current collector (1) can be decreased.

Abstract: A battery secondary use management system for managing a secondary use destination of a battery in use by using information of the battery includes an expired use time prediction unit configured to obtain estimated degradation information of the battery in use and predict an expired use time of the battery in use on the basis of the estimated degradation information which is acquired, and a secondary use destination determining unit configured to determine in advance the secondary use destination of the battery in use before expiration of use on the basis of the expiration-of-use date which is predicted.

Abstract: A battery deterioration degree estimating apparatus includes a storage deterioration degree estimator that estimates the storage deterioration degree of the battery in reuse based on the storage deterioration degree of the battery in the in-vehicle period and the load information of the battery in reuse, the cycle deterioration degree estimator that estimates the cycle deterioration degree of the battery in reuse on the basis of the load information of the battery in reuse, and the total-deterioration-degree at secondary-use-start calculator that calculates the total deterioration degree of the battery at the time point of reuse start. The battery deterioration degree estimating apparatus includes the total-deterioration-degree detector that estimates the total deterioration degree of the battery after the reuse start on the basis of the storage deterioration degree in reuse, the cycle deterioration degree in reuse, and the total deterioration degree of the battery at the time point of the reuse start.
