Further, since the amorphous carbon forms a conductive network inside the sintered body, the conductivity of the sintered body can be improved. In addition, since the binder is solidified and carbonized in a state where the current collector and the coating film are in close contact with each other, the adhesion between the current collector and the sintered body is improved, and the contact resistance between the current collector and the sintered body is reduced. Becomes possible.

Of course, it is possible to consciously control the carbonization conditions to some extent by changing the carbonization conditions. For example, in order to obtain non-graphitizable carbon using pitch as a raw material, heating is performed while blowing chlorine gas or sulfur is blown. It is known that a special method such as addition of about% or more must be used. Conversely, it is known that the use of a material that is originally carbonized via a solid phase to make it easily graphitizable carbon is limited to cases where the orientation of molecules is significantly changed by an operation such as stretching. ing.
