<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a porous metal body which has a three-dimensional mesh structure, is composed of aluminum, and is suitable for use as an electrode of a molten salt battery; to provide a method for production thereof; and to provide a molten salt battery using the same. <P>SOLUTION: There is provided a porous metal body which is a porous metal body forming a three-dimensional mesh structure by having a hollow framework, wherein the hollow framework is formed from a 1-100 μm-thick aluminum layer, and each of the inside and outside surfaces of the aluminum layer has a tin layer. Such porous metal body can be obtained by the inner-tin-layer forming step of forming a tin layer on the surface of a resin molding having a three-dimensional mesh structure, the aluminum framework forming step of forming an aluminum layer on the surface of the inside tin layer, the outer-tin-layer forming step of forming a tin layer on the surface of the aluminum framework, and the resin removal step of removing the resin molding after the aluminum framework forming step or after the outer-tin-layer forming step. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
