Electrode, method of producing electrode, and cell comprising the electrode

摘要

An electrode for a battery which increases resistivity with increasing temperature. The electrode has an electron conductive material containing a conductive filler and a resin so as to increase its resistivity with increasing temperature. This solves the problem of the prior art where the battery temperature rises above a temperature at which the separator melts and flows due to an internal short circuit, with a large short circuit current being generated between the positive and negative electrodes at portions where the separator flows to cause heat generation to further increase the battery temperature. As a result, the short circuit current increases further.
