NOVELTY - The electrode has a non-woven fabric current collector (100) formed with conductive patterns (10P1). Networks of a conductive fiber (10W) are fixed in a conductive non-woven sheet (10). A surface of the conductive non-woven sheet is formed with a pore. The conductive patterns are arranged in a stress concentration part of an electrode packaging structure. The conductive patterns are formed with line patterns. The line patterns are equipped with a winding of the electrode packaging structure. The non-woven fabric current collector is crossed with the surface of the conductive nonwoven sheet.    USE - Electrode for a secondary battery (claimed) e.g. lithium ion battery, nickel-metal hydride battery and medium-to large-sized battery. Uses include but are not limited to a portable electronic device e.g. mobile communication terminal and laptop computer, a portable electrical appliance allied industries, a hybrid vehicle and a power grid.    ADVANTAGE - The electrode effectively improves energy density of a battery. The electrode has better flexibility, high charging/discharging efficiency, high cycleability and high productivity. The conductive patterns are formed on the conductive non-woven sheet so as to effectively reduce internal resistance between the current collector and an electrical active material. The electrode effectively prevents deformation of the non-woven fabric current collector. The electrode effectively improves mechanical tensile strength of the battery. The electrode can be prevented from being damaged. The electrode facilitates lead formation process.
