Problems solved by technology

Therefore, especially in a battery of a type in which many positive electrodes and negative electrodes are stacked or wound, the amount of unit cell layers that can be accommodated per unit volume of the battery is limited depending on the thickness of the separator.
This will result in a drop in battery capacity
In addition, depending on the thickness and density of the separator, the rapid movement of lithium ions between the electrodes is hindered, resulting in a decrease in the input and output performance of the battery.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0039] The secondary battery according to the first embodiment includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The positive electrode and the negative electrode each include a current collector and an active material-containing layer supported on at least one surface of the current collector. The separator includes a layer of organic fibers facing the active material-containing layer of at least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The layer of organic fibers contains organic fibers having an aspect ratio (V1 / H1) of a cross section intersecting the longitudinal direction of the organic fibers of 0.97 or less. The organic fiber having an aspect ratio (V1 / H1) is in contact with the surface of the active material-containing layer having a roughness higher than the arithmetic mean surface roughness Ra of the active material-containing layer in a cross section. V1 is a length parallel to the thickness direction of the active material-cont...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0140] The electrode structure according to the second embodiment includes an electrode and a separator including a layer of organic fibers. The electrode includes a current collector and an active material-containing layer supported on at least one surface of the current collector. The layer of organic fibers contains organic fibers having an aspect ratio (V1 / H1) of a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the organic fibers of 0.97 or less. The organic fiber having an aspect ratio (V1 / H1) is in contact with the surface of the active material-containing layer having a roughness higher than the arithmetic mean surface roughness Ra of the active material-containing layer in a cross section. V1 is a length parallel to the thickness direction of the active material-containing layer. H1 is a length horizontal to the in-plane direction of the active material-containing layer.

Embodiment 1

[0147] As the negative electrode, an electrode in which a negative electrode active material layer containing lithium titanate of a spinel structure was provided on both surfaces of a current collector formed of aluminum foil was prepared. The average particle diameter of primary particles of lithium titanate was 0.5 μm. In addition, no negative electrode active material-containing layer was formed at one end portion of the current collector in the longitudinal direction, and this portion was used as a negative electrode tab.

[0148] On this negative electrode, deposits of organic fibers were formed by electrospinning.

[0149] As the organic material, polyimide was used. This polyimide was dissolved in DMAc as a solvent at a concentration of 20% by mass to prepare a raw material solution for forming a deposit of organic fibers. The obtained raw material solution was supplied to the surface of the negative electrode from the spinning nozzle at a supply rate of 5 μl / min usin...

Abstract

The electrode structure according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises an electrode, and a separator including a layer of organic fibers. The electrode has a collector, and an active-substance-containing layer held on at least one surface of the collector. The layer of organic fibers comprises organic fibers with an aspect ratio (V1 / H1) in a cross section across the lengths thereofof 0.97 or greater. The organic fibers having the aspect ratio (V1 / H1) make contact with a surface of the active-substance-containing layer which has a roughness that is higher than the arithmetic mean surface roughness Ra of the active-substance-containing layer in a cross-section thereof. V1 represents a length that is parallel to the thickness direction of the active-substance-containing layer. H1 represents a length that is horizontal in the in-plane direction of the active-substance-containing layer.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an electrode structure and a secondary battery. Background technique [0002] In secondary batteries such as lithium ion secondary batteries, a porous separator is used in order to avoid contact between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. Usually, the separator is prepared as an independent film separate from the electrode body (positive electrode and negative electrode). The separator is arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to form an electrode group, which is wound or laminated to form a battery. [0003] A general separator includes a porous film made of a polyolefin-based resin film. Such a separator is produced, for example, by extrusion-molding a melt containing a polyolefin-based resin composition into a sheet, extracting and removing substances other than the polyolefin-based resin, and stretching the sheet. [0004] Since the separator made of a resi...
