Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the use of those metals that can be fused with lithium as a negative electrode material has caused a problem that sufficient cycle characteristics cannot be obtained because such active electrode materials expand and contract in volume and are ground when they deposit and release lithium. into powder, separated from the phase in the current collector

Embodiment 1

[0065] (manufacturing of electrodes)

[0066] After electroplating, a 2 micron thick tin layer was deposited on an 18 micron thick electrolytic copper foil (surface roughness = 0.188 micron). Tin was used as the positive electrode. The plating baths used contained the composition indicated in the table below.

[0068] After the deposition of the tin layer, the resulting laminate was cut into a size of 2 cm x 2 cm, and then heat-treated at 200 degrees Celsius for 24 hours to obtain an electrode a1.

[0069] For comparison purposes, the above-described process was repeated except that no heat treatment was performed to fabricate the electrode b1.

Embodiment 2

[0093] (making electrodes)

[0094] Similar to that used in Example 1, a 2 micron thick tin-lead alloy layer was deposited on the electrolytic copper foil by an electrolytic plating process. The tin-lead alloy layer serves as the positive electrode. A plating bath similar to that used in Example 1 was used.

[0095] After depositing the tin-lead layer, the resulting laminate was cut into a size of 2 cm x 2 cm, and then heat-treated at 200 degrees Celsius for 24 hours to obtain electrode c1.

[0096] Similar to Example 1, the fabricated electrode c1 was observed with a scanning electron microscope, a scanning ion microscope and an X-ray microanalyzer (XMA). The results confirmed that a mixed layer of copper, tin and lead was formed at the interface between the copper substrate and the tin-lead alloy layer.

[0097] (Measurement Cycle Characteristics)

[0098] The electrode c1 was used as a working electrode, and a beaker cell was constituted in a similar manner to Example 1...

Embodiment 3

[0100] The electrodes a1 and b1 obtained in Example 1 and the electrode c1 obtained in Example 2 were used to constitute rechargeable lithium batteries with their own negative electrodes, respectively, and then the charge-discharge cycle characteristics were evaluated.

[0101] (Making positive electrode)

[0102] Calculate by weight (by weight) 85% of LiCoO with an average practical diameter of 10 microns 2 powder, 10% of carbon powder used as an electrically conductive medium and 5% of polyvinyl difluoride powder were mixed. After additional addition of N-methylpyrroline, the mixture was stirred to become a slurry. The slurry was coated on one surface of a 20 micron thick aluminum foil using doctor blade technique and allowed to dry. A 2 cm x 2 cm piece was cut out from the coated aluminum foil to make a positive electrode.

[0103] (making batteries)

[0104] The above-made positive electrode and electrode a1, b1 or c1 are combined through a polyethylene microporous sep...
