Supports and electrodes for primary and secondary electric cells
First Claim
1. A support for positive electrodes of primary or secondary electric cells, said support comprising an open-mesh, three-dimensional network structure composed of plastics threads coated unbrokenly with one or more conducting, metal coats and, to form the three-dimensional structure, being provided with humplike depressions and/or elevations which are distributed over its surface and in whose region the distance between the plastics threads is increased, wherein at least the outer metal coat of the plastics threads consists of a valve metal.

Abstract
Described is a support for electrodes of primary or secondary electric cells, said support comprising an open-mesh, three-dimensional network structure composed of plastics threads coated unbrokenly with one or more efficiently conducting, thin metal coats and, to form the three-dimensional structure, being provided with humplike depressions and/or elevations which are distributed over its surface and in whose region the distance between the plastics threads is increased, wherein at least the outer metal coat of the plastics threads consists of a valve metal. Also described are electrodes comprising such a support and a process for producing the articles mentioned.

30. A process for positive producing a support for electrodes of primary or secondary electric cells by impregnating a sheetlike, deep-drawable, optionally electrically conductive textile material with a resin suitable for mechanically stabilizing the deformations and optionally filled with an electrically conductive filler, optionally intermediately drying the resin-impregnated textile material, deforming the resin-impregnated textile material into a three-dimensional structure with humplike depressions and/or elevations which are distributed over its surface in whose region the distance between the plastics threads is enlarged, by an area-enlarging deformation process at elevated temperature at which the resins melt, the temperature of the deforming apparatus being subsequently controlled so that the impregnating resin can harden, subsequent metallization of the resulting three-dimensionally deformed network material by
a) if necessary application of an electrically conducting base layer of metal or a layer of a different electrically conductive substance and b) electrolytic deposition of a metal coat from 5 to 300 μ - m thickness as conducting layer, which comprises subsequently applying a valve metal layer in a thickness of at least 0;
