  • Patent number: 10230112
    Abstract: A conductive film includes a layer 1 formed by a conductive material 1 that includes a polymer material 1 containing any of (1) an amine and an epoxy resin (where the epoxy resin and the amine are mixed in a ratio of 1.0 or more in terms of the ratio of the number of active hydrogen atoms in the amine with respect to the number of functional groups in the epoxy resin), (2) a phenoxy resin and an epoxy resin, (3) a saturated hydrocarbon polymer having a hydroxyl group, and (4) a curable resin and an elastomer and conductive particles 1. The conductive film has excellent stability in an equilibrium potential environment in a negative electrode and low electric resistance per unit area in the thickness direction. A multilayer conductive film including the conductive film achieves excellent interlayer adhesion, and using them as a current collector enables the production of a battery satisfying both weight reduction and durability.

  • Patent number: 9537152
    Abstract: A collector for bipolar lithium ion secondary batteries comprises a first conductive layer that is obtained by adding a conductive filler to a base that contains an imide group-containing resin, and a second conductive layer that has a function of blocking lithium ions. The second conductive layer comprises a blocking resin layer that is obtained by adding a conductive filler to a base that contains a resin which contains no imide group, and a metal layer. This collector for bipolar lithium ion secondary batteries is used in such a manner that the first conductive layer is on the positive electrode active material layer side with respect to the second conductive layer.
