0 to 300 ppm. Thus, when the nitrogen concentration is 200
By adjusting the content to ppm or more, the elongation rate of the lithium-aluminum alloy tape is reduced, so that elongation occurs when the tape is hung on a line at the time of punching or cutting, so that the thickness does not change and the thickness does not become out of specification. If the nitrogen concentration is less than 200 ppm, elongation may occur when tension is applied in a line such as punching or cutting, and the above-described effects cannot be obtained. Although the upper limit of the nitrogen concentration is not particularly limited, it is important that the nitrogen concentration does not affect the battery performance.
0 ppm or less, further preferably 300 ppm or less is desirable.
