example 1-1

[0137]A laminate film type secondary battery shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 was manufactured by the following steps. At that time, the laminate film type secondary battery was a lithium-ion secondary battery in which the capacity of the anode 54 is represented based on insertion and extraction of lithium.

[0138]At first, the cathode 53 was formed. After lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and cobalt carbonate (CoCO3) were mixed at a molar ratio of 0.5:1, the mixture was fired in air at 900° C. for 5 hours to obtain a lithium-cobalt complex oxide (LiCoO2). Next, after 91 parts by weight of the lithium-cobalt complex oxide as a cathode active material, 6 parts by weight of graphite as an electrical conductor and 3 parts by weight of polyvinylidene fluoride as a binder were mixed to form a cathode mixture, the cathode mixture was dispersed in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone to form paste-form cathode mixture slurry. Finally, after the cathode mixture slurry was uniformly applied to both sides of the cathode cur...

examples 1-2 to 1-14

[0143]Secondary batteries were formed by the same steps as those in Example 1-1, except that instead of 0.2 cm3 / g, the volumetric capacity of the small pore group per unit weight of silicon was 0.1 cm3 / g (Example 1-2), 0.09 cm3 / g (Example 1-3), 0.08 cm3 / g (Example 1-4), 0.07 cm3 / g (Example 1-5), 0.06 cm3 / g (Example 1-6), 0.05 cm3 / g (Example 1-7), 0.04 cm3 / g (Example 1-8), 0.03 cm3 / g (Example 1-9), 0.02 cm3 / g (Example 1-10), 0.01 cm3 / g (Example 1-11), 0.005 cm3 / g (Example 1-12), 0.001 cm3 / g (Example 1-13), or 0 cm3 / g (Example 1-14).

examples 2-1 to 2-9

[0150]Secondary batteries were formed by the same steps as those in Examples 1-1, 1-2, 1-4, 1-7 and 1-10 to 1-14, except that while the anode current collector 54A was moved back and forth relatively to an evaporation source, silicon was deposited six times to be laminated, thereby the anode active material had a six-layer configuration. At that time, the deposition rate was 100 nm / s.

Abstract

A battery capable of improving cycle characteristics is provided. An anode includes: an anode current collector, and an anode active material layer arranged on the anode current collector, in which the anode active material layer includes an anode active material including silicon (Si), and including a pore group with a diameter ranging from 3 nm to 50 nm both inclusive, and the volumetric capacity per unit weight of silicon of the pore group with a diameter ranging from 3 nm to 50 nm both inclusive is 0.2 cm3/g or less, the volumetric capacity being measured by mercury porosimetry using a mercury porosimeter.
