  • Patent number: 6780541
    Abstract: A method for fabricating carbon electrode coated with a porous metal film includes the steps of: positioning a roll of carbon material within a vacuum chamber; winding the carbon material off the roll at a certain speed, winding the carbon material on a different roll while coating a porous metal to a thickness of a few Řa few &mgr;m on the carbon material between the two rolls from a metal evaporation source; and stabilizing the thusly coated carbon material under a vacuum. The coated porous metal film is of Li, Al, Sn, Bi, Si, Sb, Ni, Cu, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Mo, W, Ag, Au, Pt, Ru, Ir, In or their alloys. Since the stable film is formed on the surface of the carbon material, when the thusly coated carbon material is use for forming a cathode electrode of a secondary battery, the reversibility and high rate charging and discharging characteristics of the carbon electrode can be improved.
