NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR IRON-AIR SECONDARY CELL, IRON-AIR SECONDARY CELL, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR IRON-AIR SECONDARY CELL

摘要

A negative electrode for use in an iron-air secondary battery of the present invention comprises a three-dimensionally formed structure in which particles of metal powder comprising iron or an iron alloy as a principal component are coupled to each other through metallic bonding, wherein the negative electrode has a porosity of greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 70%. A production method of a negative electrode for an iron-air secondary battery of the present invention comprises: mixing with a resin, metal powder comprising iron or an iron alloy as a principle component; molding a mixture obtained after the mixing; and sintering a molded body obtained after the molding.
