METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALUMINUM STRUCTURE, AND ALUMINUM STRUCTURE

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an aluminum structure using a porous resin molded body having a three-dimensional network structure, said method being capable of forming an aluminum structure that is reduced in the amount of impurities and capable of obtaining an aluminum porous body having an especially large area. A method for producing an aluminum structure, which comprises: an electrical conductivity-imparting step wherein a conductive coating material containing a conductive carbon is applied over the surface of a resin molded body, thereby imparting the resin molded body with electrical conductivity; a plating step wherein the surface of the resin molded body, which has been imparted with electrical conductivity, is plated with aluminum in a molten salt, thereby forming an aluminum layer; and a heat treatment step wherein the resin molded body is removed by a heat treatment. The method for producing an aluminum structure is characterized in that the conductive carbon is carbon black that has an average particle diameter of 0.003-0.05 µm (inclusive).
