Abstract
An electrical double-layer capacitor electrode with excellent capacitance characteristics is obtained together with a manufacturing method therefor. Paper-molded sheet of carbon nanotubes is integrated with etched foil constituting a collector, by means of bumps and indentations formed on the surface of etched foil to prepare an electrical double-layer capacitor electrode. Alternatively, carbon nanotubes grown around core catalyst particles on substrate are integrated with etched foil by means of bumps and indentations formed on the surface of etched foil to prepare an electrical double-layer capacitor electrode. To manufacture these electrodes, this carbon nanotube sheet or substrate with carbon nanotubes grown thereon is laid over bumps and indentations on the surface of etched foil, and the sheet or substrate and the foil are pressed under 0.01 to 100 t/cm2 of pressure to integrate the carbon nanotubes with the etched foil.
