Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to batteries. [Background technology]

[0002] A battery generally has an electrode laminate in which a positive electrode active material layer, an electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode active material layer are stacked. In this electrode laminate, if the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer come into contact with each other, a short circuit occurs. Therefore, the following laminates for all-solid-state batteries and all-solid-state batteries are known in which the contact between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer is suppressed.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a laminate for an all-solid-state battery in which a positive electrode active material layer, a solid electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode active material layer are laminated in this order, and at least a part of the edge of the laminate is chamfered. According to the laminate for an all-solid-state battery in Patent Document 1, it is possible to provide a laminate for an all-solid-state battery in which the risk of short-circuiting between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer is reduced.

[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses an all-solid-state battery in which a positive electrode active material layer is laminated on one side of a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode active material layer is laminated on the other side, and the solid electrolyte layer protrudes from the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer by 50 μm to 1000 μm in a direction intersecting the lamination direction. According to the all-solid-state battery in Patent Document 2, even if the positive electrode active material layer or the negative electrode active material layer expands during charge and discharge, the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer are unlikely to come into contact with each other.

[Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the battery of the present disclosure, volumetric efficiency can be improved. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a battery according to the present disclosure. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a battery according to the prior art. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining the method for manufacturing a battery according to the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present disclosure. In addition, in the description of the drawings, the same elements are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.

[0013] In the present disclosure, the battery may be a liquid-based battery containing an electrolytic solution as the electrolyte layer, or a solid-state battery having a solid electrolyte layer as the electrolyte layer. In the present disclosure, a "solid-state battery" refers to a battery that uses at least a solid electrolyte as the electrolyte, and therefore a solid-state battery may use a combination of a solid electrolyte and a liquid electrolyte as the electrolyte. In the present disclosure, the battery may also be an all-solid-state battery, i.e., a battery that uses only a solid electrolyte as the electrolyte.

[0014] "battery" The battery of the present disclosure comprises: an electrode laminate in which a first current collector layer, a first electrode active material layer, an electrolyte layer, and a second electrode active material layer are laminated in this order; At least one end of the electrode stack, an end face of the first electrode active material layer, an end face of the electrolyte layer, and an end face of the second electrode active material layer form a flush surface; and The angle formed between the flush surface and the surface of the first current collector layer is less than 90°.

[0015] According to the battery of the present disclosure, volumetric efficiency can be improved.

[0016] Without being limited by theory, at least one end of the electrode stack, the end face of the first electrode active material layer, the end face of the electrolyte layer, and the end face of the second electrode active material layer form a flush surface, so that so-called sagging portions are substantially absent, thereby improving volumetric efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, by making the angle between the flush surface and the surface of the first current collector layer less than 90°, the area of ​​the first electrode active material layer can be made larger than the area of ​​the second electrode active material layer, which may ensure the battery capacity of the first electrode active material layer.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing one embodiment of the battery of the present disclosure, but is not limited to this embodiment.

[0019] FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the periphery of one end of an electrode laminate 100 included in a battery 10, and FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram of the periphery of one end of the electrode laminate 100 included in the battery 10, viewed from the surface side of the second electrode active material layer. The battery 10 illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B has an electrode laminate 100 in which a first current collector layer 110, a first electrode active material layer 120, an electrolyte layer 130, and a second electrode active material layer 140 are stacked in this order. At one end of the electrode laminate 100, the end surface 120a of the first electrode active material layer, the end surface 130a of the electrolyte layer, and the end surface 140a of the second electrode active material layer form a flush surface 100a. Therefore, the electrode laminate 100 of the battery 10 is substantially free of so-called sagging portions, thereby improving the volumetric efficiency of the battery 10. Furthermore, the angle 100b formed between the flush surface 100a and the surface of the first current collector layer 110 is less than 90°, so that the area of ​​the first electrode active material layer can be made larger than the area of ​​the second electrode active material layer, thereby ensuring the battery capacity of the first electrode active material layer.

[0020] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram showing one embodiment of a battery in the prior art, but is not limited to this case.

[0021] The conventional battery shown in FIG. 2 is obtained by sequentially coating and drying an electrode composite slurry and a solid electrolyte composite slurry to form an electrode stack, and each layer has a sagging portion. Specifically, the battery 10 shown in FIG. 2 has an electrode stack 100 in which a first current collector layer 110, a first electrode active material layer 120, an electrolyte layer 130, and a second electrode active material layer 140 are stacked in this order. The end surface 120a of the first electrode active material layer forms an inclined surface that approaches the first current collector layer 110 as it approaches the tip 120b of the first electrode active material layer. The end surface 130a of the electrolyte layer and the end surface 140a of the second electrode active material layer also form inclined surfaces similar to the end surface 120a of the first electrode active material layer. Each inclined surface is formed in a stepped shape, forming a so-called sagging portion (the area enclosed by a dotted line in FIG. 2). The presence of this sagging portion reduces the volumetric efficiency of the battery.

A battery having the flush surface 100a as a cut or milled surface can be obtained, for example, by removing sagging portions of the electrode active material layer, etc., at the end of the electrode stack by cutting or milling the surface of the second electrode active material layer. By forming the flush surface as a cut or milled surface, for example, the ends of each layer can be processed simultaneously after stacking the layers, allowing batteries to be obtained with high productivity.

[0024] In the battery of the present disclosure, the angle between the flush plane and the surface of the first current collector layer is preferably less than 90° and 20° to 70°. The angle is not particularly limited, but may be 10° or more, 20° or more, 30° or more, 40° or more, 50° or more, 60° or more, 70° or more, or 80° or more, or may be less than 90°, 85° or less, 80° or less, 75° or less, 70° or less, 65° or less, or 60° or less.

[0025] 1A and 1B, the angle 100b formed between the flush surface and the surface of the first current collector layer will be described. The cross-sectional schematic diagram of the battery in FIG. 1A is a cross-section perpendicular to the surface direction of the first current collector layer and perpendicular to the line formed by the tip 120b of the first electrode active material layer, specifically, a cross-section taken at the cutting position shown by the dashed dotted line in FIG. 1B. The angle 100b is the angle formed between the flush surface 100a and the surface of the first current collector layer 110 in the cross-section shown in FIG. 1A. The angle 100b is less than 90° and preferably 20 to 70°.

[0026] In the battery of the present disclosure, at least one end of the electrode laminate, the first current collector layer preferably extends beyond the tip of the first electrode active material layer, although this is not particularly limited.

[0027] 1A and 1B, the electrode laminate 100 includes a first current collector layer 110, a first electrode active material layer 120, an electrolyte layer 130, and a second electrode active material layer 140 laminated in this order. The first current collector layer 110 extends beyond the tip 120b of the first electrode active material layer.

[0029] According to the battery manufacturing method of the present disclosure, a battery with improved volumetric efficiency can be manufactured.

Next, as shown in Fig. 3B, the preliminary laminate 101 is cut obliquely from the surface of the second electrode active material layer 140 using, for example, a cutting blade 200 to produce the electrode laminate 100.
