Abstract

In forming an anode by using metallic lithium as the anode active material, the present invention provides an anode for lithium batteries which can be produced with high productivity and in which dendrite generation is prevented, so that high safety can he secured. An anode for lithium batteries according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a structure comprising a conductive material layer in which carbon nanotubes are anchored, with a part of the carbon nanotube extending from at least one face of the surfaces of the conductive material layer, and a deposited layer formed by depositing metallic lithium on the carbon nanotubes in the structure.
