Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce resistance between a current collector and an active substance by providing porous layers which are formed by sintering Ni powder at both faces of a metal base material, and applying paste-form active material on these porous layers. CONSTITUTION:Porous layers 11 consisting of an Ni sintered body which is formed by crystallizing Ni powder are provided on both sides of a porous plate (metallic base substance) 10. And on both Sides of the layers 11 paste-form active materials 12 are applied. For the layer 11 which is formed by sintering Ni powder, irregularity degree and porous degree at the surface are great. Accordingly, when a paste-form active material 12 is applied onto this layer 11, the active material 12 permeates the layer 12 into the inside and the contact area between the active material 12 and the current collector becomes large, and the resistance between the current collector 1 and the active material 12 can be made small, which enables the internal resistance of the battery to be lowered.
