[0029] Further, the thickness of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet ranges from 40 to 85 μm. The positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode conductive sheet 3 and a positive electrode active material layer 5, and the positive electrode active material layer 5 is arranged between the positive electrode conductive sheet 3 and the electrolyte layer 7.
