A hyper-branched polymer dispersant represented by, for example, formula (I) has high adhesion properties to a current collector substrate and therefore enables the formation of an electrically conductive bonding layer having high carbon nanotube concentration. When a composite current collector for an energy storage device electrode which is equipped with the electrically conductive bonding layer is used, it becomes possible to produce an energy storage device from which an electrical current can be extracted without causing the decrease in a voltage particularly in use applications that require a large electrical current instantaneously, such as electrical automotive applications, and which has a long cycle life.; |

1. A composite current collector for an energy storage device electrode, characterized by comprising a current-collecting substrate and, an electrically conductive bonding layer formed on the substrate comprising a highly branched polymer having repeating units of formula (1) or formula (2) below and carbon nanotubes (wherein Ar1 to Ar3 are each independently a divalent organic group of any one of formulas (3) to (7) below (in which R5 to R38 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, an alkoxy group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, or a carboxyl group, sulfo group, phosphoric acid group, phosphonic acid group or salt of any thereof); Z1 and Z2 are each independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, or a monovalent organic group of any one of formulas (8) to (11) below (in which R39 to R62 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, a haloalkyl group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, a phenyl group, OR63, COR63, NR63R64, COOR65 (R63 and R64 being each independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, a haloalkyl group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, or a phenyl group; and R65 being an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, a haloalkyl group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, or a phenyl group), or a carboxyl group, sulfo group, phosphoric acid group, phosphonic acid group or salt of any thereof)), with the proviso that Z1 and Z2 are not both alkyl groups at the same time; and R1 to R4 in formula (2) are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, an alkoxy group of 1 to 5 carbons which may have a branched structure, or a carboxyl group, sulfo group, phosphoric acid group, phosphonic acid group or salt of any thereof). |
