[0031] Hereinafter, an electricity storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification, a numerical range indicated by "to" means "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal to." For example, the expression "2 to 15 mm" means 2 mm or more and 15 mm or less.

FIG. 1B is a diagram relating to a method for measuring the seal strength of a second sealed portion 80 of the electricity storage device 10 of FIG. 1A. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the layer structure of an exterior film 50 included in the electricity storage device 10 of FIG. 1A. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the exterior film 50 included in the electricity storage device 10 of FIG. 1A in an unfolded state. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line D4-D4 in FIG. 1A. FIG. 5 is a side view of a lid body 60 included in the electricity storage device 10 of FIG. 1A. FIG. 6 is a plan view of the lid body 60 of FIG. 5. In FIGS. 1A, 4 to 6, 8, and 9, the direction of arrows UD indicates the thickness direction of the electricity storage device 10, the direction of arrows LR indicates the width direction of the electricity storage device 10, and the direction of arrow FB indicates the depth direction of the electricity storage device 10. The directions indicated by the arrows UD, LR, and FB are common to the subsequent figures.

[0033] The electricity storage device 10 includes an electrode body 20, an electrode terminal 30, and an exterior body 40. The electrode body 20 includes electrodes (positive and negative electrodes) constituting an electricity storage member such as a lithium-ion battery, a capacitor, an all-solid-state battery, a semi-solid battery, a quasi-solid battery, a polymer battery, an all-resin battery, a lead-acid battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, a nickel-cadmium battery, a nickel-iron battery, a nickel-zinc battery, a silver oxide-zinc battery, a metal-air battery, a polycation battery, or a capacitor, as well as a separator. In this embodiment, the electrode body 20 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. Note that the term "substantially rectangular parallelepiped" includes not only a perfect rectangular parallelepiped, but also a solid that can be considered a rectangular parallelepiped by modifying the shape of a portion of its outer surface, for example. The electrode body 20 may have a cylindrical or polygonal prism shape, for example.

[0034] In this embodiment, the electricity storage device 10 includes two electrode terminals 30. The electrode terminals 30 are metal terminals used for inputting and outputting electric power to and from the electrode body 20. One end of the electrode terminal 30 is electrically connected to an electrode (positive electrode or negative electrode) included in the electrode body 20. The other end of the electrode terminal 30 protrudes outward from, for example, an edge of the exterior body 40. Note that the electrode terminal 30 may be any terminal as long as it is capable of inputting and outputting electric power to and from the electrode body 20, and may not, for example, protrude from the exterior body 40. When the lid body 60 described below is made of, for example, metal, the lid body 60 may also function as the electrode terminal 30. In this case, the lid body 60, which functions as an electrode terminal, may or may not protrude from the exterior body 40.

[0035] The metal material constituting the electrode terminal 30 is, for example, aluminum, nickel, copper, etc. For example, when the electrode body 20 is a lithium ion battery, the electrode terminal 30 connected to the positive electrode is usually made of aluminum, etc., and the electrode terminal 30 connected to the negative electrode is usually made of copper, nickel, etc. Note that the outermost layer of the electrode body 20 does not necessarily have to be an electrode, and may be, for example, a protective tape or a separator.

[0036] The exterior body 40 seals the electrode body 20. The exterior body 40 includes an exterior film 50 and a lid 60. The exterior film 50 wraps the electrode body 20 so as to have an opening 40A. In this embodiment, the exterior film 50 is wrapped around the electrode body 20 so as to have the opening 40A. The lid 60 is placed on the side of the electrode body 20 so as to close the opening 40A. Note that the electrode body 20 may be housed inside the exterior film 50 that is configured in a cylindrical shape so as to form the opening 40A, and the opening 40A may be closed by the lid 60.

[0037] For example, there is a method of forming a storage portion (recess) in the exterior film 50 through cold forming to store the electrode assembly 20. However, it is not necessarily easy to form a deep storage portion using this method. Attempting to form a deep storage portion (recess) through cold forming (for example, a forming depth of 15 mm) increases the likelihood of pinholes or cracks occurring in the exterior film 50, resulting in a decrease in battery performance. On the other hand, the exterior body 40 seals the electrode assembly 20 by wrapping the exterior film 50 around the electrode assembly 20, and therefore can easily seal the electrode assembly 20 regardless of the thickness of the electrode assembly 20. Note that in order to reduce the dead space between the electrode assembly 20 and the exterior film 50 and improve the volumetric energy density of the power storage device 10, it is preferable that the exterior film 50 be wrapped so as to contact the outer surface of the electrode assembly 20. Furthermore, in all-solid-state batteries, it is necessary to apply a high pressure uniformly from the outer surface of the battery to maximize battery performance, so it is necessary to eliminate the space between the electrode assembly 20 and the exterior film 50. Therefore, it is preferable that the exterior film 50 be wrapped so as to contact the outer surface of the electrode assembly 20.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 2 , the exterior film 50 is a laminate (laminate film) having, for example, a base material layer 51, a barrier layer 52, and a heat-sealable resin layer 53 in this order. Note that the exterior film 50 does not need to include all of these layers; for example, it may not include the barrier layer 52. That is, the exterior film 50 may be made of any flexible and easily bendable material, such as a resin film. Note that the exterior film 50 is preferably heat-sealable. The innermost and outermost layers of the exterior film 50 may be heat-sealable resin layers 53. In this case, the exterior film 50 may encase the electrode assembly 20 and the lid 60 by joining the outermost and innermost layers.

[0039] The substrate layer 51 included in the exterior film 50 is a layer that imparts heat resistance to the exterior film 50 and prevents pinholes from forming during processing or distribution. The substrate layer 51 is composed of, for example, at least one layer of a stretched polyester resin layer and a stretched polyamide resin layer. For example, by including at least one layer of a stretched polyester resin layer and a stretched polyamide resin layer in the substrate layer 51, the barrier layer 52 can be protected during processing of the exterior film 50, and breakage of the exterior film 50 can be prevented. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of increasing the tensile elongation of the exterior film 50, the stretched polyester resin layer is preferably a biaxially stretched polyester resin layer, and the stretched polyamide resin layer is preferably a biaxially stretched polyamide resin layer. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of excellent puncture strength or impact strength, the stretched polyester resin layer is more preferably a biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, and the stretched polyamide resin layer is more preferably a biaxially stretched nylon (ONy) film. The substrate layer 51 may be composed of both a stretched polyester resin layer and a stretched polyamide resin layer. The thickness of the base layer 51 is preferably, for example, 5 to 300 μm, and more preferably 5 to 150 μm, from the viewpoint of film strength.

[0040] The barrier layer 52 is a layer that prevents at least moisture from penetrating. The barrier layer 52 is bonded to the base layer 51 via, for example, an adhesive layer 54. Examples of the barrier layer 52 include metal foils, vapor-deposited films, and resin layers with barrier properties. Vapor-deposited films include metal vapor-deposited films, inorganic oxide vapor-deposited films, and carbon-containing inorganic oxide vapor-deposited films. Resin layers include fluorine-containing resins such as polyvinylidene chloride, polymers based on chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE), polymers based on tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), polymers having fluoroalkyl groups, and polymers based on fluoroalkyl units, as well as ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers. Other examples of the barrier layer 52 include resin films having at least one of these vapor-deposited films and resin layers. The barrier layer 52 may be formed of multiple layers. The barrier layer 52 preferably includes a layer made of a metal material. Specific examples of the metal material constituting the barrier layer 52 include aluminum alloys, stainless steel, titanium steel, and steel plates. When used as a metal foil, it is preferable that the metal material contains at least one of an aluminum alloy foil and a stainless steel foil.

[0041] In the barrier layer 52, the layer made of the aforementioned metallic material may contain recycled metallic material. Examples of recycled metallic material include recycled aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium steel, and steel plate. These recycled materials can be obtained by known methods. Recycled aluminum alloy material can be obtained, for example, by the manufacturing method described in International Publication No. 2022 / 092231. The barrier layer 52 may be made solely of recycled material, or may be made of a mixture of recycled and virgin material. Note that recycled metallic material refers to metallic material that has been made reusable by collecting, isolating, and refining various products used in the market or waste from manufacturing processes. Furthermore, virgin metallic material refers to new metallic material refined from natural metallic resources (raw materials) and is not recycled material.

[0042] From the viewpoint of improving the formability or conformability of the exterior film 50, the aluminum alloy foil is preferably a soft aluminum alloy foil made of, for example, an annealed aluminum alloy. From the viewpoint of further improving the formability or conformability, an iron-containing aluminum alloy foil is preferred. In the iron-containing aluminum alloy foil (100% by mass), the iron content is preferably 0.1 to 9.0% by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 2.0% by mass. By having an iron content of 0.1% by mass or more, an exterior film 50 with better formability can be obtained. By having an iron content of 9.0% by mass or less, an exterior film 50 with better flexibility can be obtained. Furthermore, silicon, magnesium, copper, manganese, etc. may be added as necessary. Furthermore, softening can be achieved by annealing or the like. From the viewpoint of improving the mechanical strength of the exterior film 50, the aluminum alloy foil is more preferably a hard aluminum alloy foil made of, for example, a work-hardened aluminum alloy.

[0043] Examples of stainless steel foil include austenitic, ferritic, austenitic-ferritic, martensitic, and precipitation hardened stainless steel foils. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of providing an exterior film 50 with excellent formability, the stainless steel foil is preferably made of austenitic stainless steel.

[0044] Specific examples of austenitic stainless steels that can be used to form the stainless steel foil include SUS304, SUS301, and SUS316L, with SUS304 being particularly preferred.

[0045] In the case of a metal foil, the thickness of the barrier layer 52 should be sufficient to at least function as a barrier layer that prevents moisture penetration, and may be, for example, about 5 to 200 μm. The thickness of the barrier layer 52 is preferably about 85 μm or less, more preferably about 50 μm or less, even more preferably about 40 μm or less, and particularly preferably about 35 μm or less. The thickness of the barrier layer 52 is preferably about 9.0 μm or more, more preferably about 20 μm or more, and more preferably about 25 μm or more. Preferred ranges for the thickness of the barrier layer 52 include about 9.0 to 85 μm, about 9.0 to 50 μm, about 9.0 to 40 μm, about 9.0 to 35 μm, about 20 to 85 μm, about 20 to 50 μm, about 20 to 40 μm, about 20 to 35 μm, about 25 to 85 μm, about 25 to 50 μm, about 25 to 40 μm, and about 25 to 35 μm. When the barrier layer 52 is made of aluminum alloy foil, the above-mentioned ranges are particularly preferred. From the viewpoint of imparting high formability and high rigidity to the exterior film 50, the thickness of the barrier layer 52 is preferably about 35 μm or more, more preferably about 45 μm or more, even more preferably about 50 μm or more, and even more preferably about 55 μm or more, and is preferably about 200 μm or less, more preferably about 85 μm or less, even more preferably about 75 μm or less, and even more preferably about 70 μm or less. Preferred ranges are approximately 35 to 200 μm, approximately 35 to 85 μm, approximately 35 to 75 μm, approximately 35 to 70 μm, approximately 45 to 200 μm, approximately 45 to 85 μm, approximately 45 to 75 μm, approximately 45 to 70 μm, approximately 50 to 200 μm, approximately 50 to 85 μm, approximately 50 to 75 μm, approximately 50 to 70 μm, approximately 55 to 200 μm, approximately 55 to 85 μm, approximately 55 to 75 μm, and approximately 55 to 70 μm. The high formability of the exterior film 50 facilitates deep drawing, which can contribute to increasing the capacity of the electricity storage device. Furthermore, while increasing the capacity of the electricity storage device increases the weight of the electricity storage device, increasing the rigidity of the exterior film 50 can contribute to high sealing performance of the electricity storage device.In particular, when the barrier layer 52 is made of stainless steel foil, the thickness of the stainless steel foil is preferably about 60 μm or less, more preferably about 50 μm or less, even more preferably about 40 μm or less, even more preferably about 30 μm or less, and particularly preferably about 25 μm or less. The thickness of the stainless steel foil is preferably about 10 μm or more, more preferably about 15 μm or more. Preferred ranges for the thickness of the stainless steel foil include about 10 to 60 μm, about 10 to 50 μm, about 10 to 40 μm, about 10 to 30 μm, about 10 to 25 μm, about 15 to 60 μm, about 15 to 50 μm, about 15 to 40 μm, about 15 to 30 μm, and about 15 to 25 μm.

[0046] Furthermore, when the barrier layer 52 is an aluminum foil, it is preferable that a corrosion-resistant coating be provided on at least the surface opposite the substrate layer 51 to prevent dissolution and corrosion. The barrier layer 52 may be provided with a corrosion-resistant coating on both sides. Here, the corrosion-resistant coating refers to a thin film that is provided with corrosion resistance (e.g., acid resistance, alkali resistance, etc.) by performing, for example, a hydrothermal conversion treatment such as boehmite treatment, a chemical conversion treatment, an anodizing treatment, a plating treatment using nickel or chromium, or a corrosion prevention treatment such as applying a coating agent on the surface of the barrier layer 52. Specifically, the corrosion-resistant coating refers to a coating that improves the acid resistance of the barrier layer 52 (acid-resistant coating), a coating that improves the alkali resistance of the barrier layer 52 (alkali-resistant coating), or the like. The corrosion-resistant coating may be formed by one type of treatment or a combination of two or more types. Furthermore, the barrier layer 52 may be formed not only as a single layer but also as a multi-layer. Furthermore, among these treatments, hydrothermal conversion treatment and anodizing treatment are treatments in which the surface of the metal foil is dissolved using a treatment agent to form a metal compound with excellent corrosion resistance. Note that these treatments may also be included in the definition of chemical conversion treatment. Furthermore, if the barrier layer 52 has a corrosion-resistant coating, the corrosion-resistant coating is also included in the barrier layer 52.

[0047] The corrosion-resistant coating prevents delamination between the barrier layer 52 (e.g., aluminum alloy foil) and the base layer 51 during molding of the exterior film 50, prevents dissolution and corrosion of the surface of the barrier layer 52 due to hydrogen fluoride produced by a reaction between an electrolyte and water, and particularly prevents dissolution and corrosion of aluminum oxide present on the surface of the barrier layer 52 when the barrier layer 52 is an aluminum alloy foil, and also improves the adhesion (wettability) of the surface of the barrier layer 52, thereby preventing delamination between the base layer 51 and the barrier layer 52 during heat sealing and between the base layer 51 and the barrier layer 52 during molding.

[0048] The heat-sealable resin layer 53 is bonded to the barrier layer 52 via, for example, an adhesive layer 55. The heat-sealable resin layer 53 included in the exterior film 50 is a layer that provides heat-sealing properties to the exterior film 50. Examples of the heat-sealable resin layer 53 include resin films made of polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate resins and polybutylene terephthalate resins, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene resins and polypropylene resins, or acid-modified polyolefin resins obtained by graft-modifying these polyolefin resins with an acid such as maleic anhydride. From the viewpoints of sealability and strength, the thickness of the heat-sealable resin layer 53 is preferably, for example, 20 to 300 μm, and more preferably 40 to 150 μm.

[0049] The exterior film 50 preferably has one or more layers with a buffer function (hereinafter referred to as "buffer layer") outside the heat-sealable resin layer 53, more preferably outside the barrier layer 52. The buffer layer may be laminated on the outside of the base material layer 51, or the base material layer 51 may also function as a buffer layer. When the exterior film 50 has multiple buffer layers, the multiple buffer layers may be adjacent to each other, or may be laminated with the base material layer 51, the barrier layer 52, or the like interposed therebetween.

[0050] The material constituting the buffer layer can be arbitrarily selected from materials having cushioning properties. Examples of the material having cushioning properties include rubber, nonwoven fabric, and foam sheet. Examples of rubber include natural rubber, fluororubber, and silicone rubber. The rubber hardness is preferably about 20 to 90. The material constituting the nonwoven fabric is preferably a material having excellent heat resistance. When the buffer layer is made of nonwoven fabric, the lower limit of the thickness of the buffer layer is preferably 100 μm, more preferably 200 μm, and even more preferably 1000 μm. When the buffer layer is made of nonwoven fabric, the upper limit of the thickness of the buffer layer is preferably 5000 μm, and even more preferably 3000 μm. The thickness of the buffer layer is preferably in the range of 100 μm to 5000 μm, 100 μm to 3000 μm, 200 μm to 5000 μm, 200 μm to 3000 μm, 1000 μm to 5000 μm, or 1000 μm to 3000 μm, and most preferably in the range of 1000 μm to 3000 μm.

[0051] When the buffer layer is made of rubber, the lower limit of the buffer layer thickness is preferably 0.5 mm. When the buffer layer is made of rubber, the upper limit of the buffer layer thickness is preferably 10 mm, more preferably 5 mm, and even more preferably 2 mm. When the buffer layer is made of rubber, the preferred range of the buffer layer thickness is 0.5 mm to 10 mm, 0.5 mm to 5 mm, or 0.5 mm to 2 mm.

[0052] When the exterior film 50 has a buffer layer, the buffer layer functions as a cushion, thereby preventing the exterior film 50 from being damaged by impact when the energy storage device 10 is dropped or by handling during the manufacture of the energy storage device 10.

[0053] The lid body 60 has, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape and is made of, for example, a resin material. The lid body 60 may be formed by, for example, cold-forming the exterior film 50, or may be a metal molded product. If the lid body 60 is a metal molded product, it preferably has the corrosion-resistant coating described in the barrier layer 52. The lid body 60 has a lid main body 60A. The lid main body 60A has a first surface 61, a second surface 62, and a lid seal portion 63. The first surface 61 faces the electrode assembly 20. The second surface 62 is the surface opposite to the first surface 61. The lid seal portion 63 is connected to the first surface 61 and the second surface 62 and is heat-sealed to the heat-fusible resin layer 53 of the exterior film 50. The lid seal portion 63 includes a first seal surface 63A, a second seal surface 63B, a third seal surface 63C, and a fourth seal surface 63D. The first sealing surface 63A forms the upper surface of the lid 60. The first sealing surface 63A extends in a first direction (in the present embodiment, the LR direction) when the lid 60 is viewed from the front. The second sealing surface 63B and the third sealing surface 63C are connected to the first sealing surface 63A and form the side surfaces of the lid 60. The second sealing surface 63B and the third sealing surface 63C extend in a second direction (in the present embodiment, the UD direction) that intersects with the first direction when the lid 60 is viewed from the front. In the present embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are orthogonal when the lid 60 is viewed from the front. The first direction and the second direction do not have to be orthogonal when the lid 60 is viewed from the front. The fourth sealing surface 63D forms the lower surface of the lid 60. The fourth sealing surface 63D extends in a first direction (in the present embodiment, the LR direction) when the lid 60 is viewed from the front.

[0054] When the lid body 60 is plate-shaped, it is preferable that the lid body 60 has a certain thickness so that deformation of the exterior body 40 is suppressed even when the power storage device 10 is placed on top of it. From another perspective, when the lid body 60 is plate-shaped, it is preferable that the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 has a certain thickness so that the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 and the exterior film 50 can be appropriately heat-sealed when forming the second sealing portion 80 described below. The minimum thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 is, for example, 1.0 mm, more preferably 3.0 mm, and even more preferably 4.0 mm. The maximum thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 is, for example, 20 mm, more preferably 15 mm, and even more preferably 10 mm. The maximum thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 may be 20 mm or more. The preferred ranges for the thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 are 1.0 mm to 20 mm, 1.0 mm to 15 mm, 1.0 mm to 10 mm, 3.0 mm to 20 mm, 3.0 mm to 15 mm, 3.0 mm to 10 mm, 4.0 mm to 20 mm, 4.0 mm to 15 mm, and 4.0 mm to 10 mm. In this embodiment, when the lid body 60 is described as being plate-shaped, this does not include embodiments in which the lid body 60 is composed solely of a film as defined by the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) "Packaging Terminology" standard. The thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 may vary depending on the region of the lid body 60. When the thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 varies depending on the region, the thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 is the thickness of the thickest portion.

[0055] The lid seal portion 63 further includes boundaries 64, 65, 66, and 67. The boundary 64 is the boundary between the first seal surface 63A and the second seal surface 63B. The boundary 65 is the boundary between the first seal surface 63A and the third seal surface 63C. The boundary 66 is the boundary between the fourth seal surface 63D and the second seal surface 63B. The boundary 67 is the boundary between the fourth seal surface 63D and the third seal surface 63C. The shapes of the boundaries 64 to 67 may be angular, or may be rounded by applying a rounding process. In this embodiment, the boundaries 64 to 67 are angular.

[0056] From the viewpoint of appropriately heat-sealing the lid 60 and the exterior film 50, it is preferable that the material constituting the lid 60 and the material constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 53 of the exterior film 50 are mainly made of the same material. In this embodiment, the material constituting the lid 60 and the material constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 53 are mainly made of polypropylene. Note that the main material refers to, for example, a material that accounts for 50% or more of the materials contained in the constituent elements.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lid 60 includes a heat-sealable resin layer 60Z whose main material is an olefin-based copolymer. In this embodiment, the entire lid 60 is made of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. It is sufficient that at least the portion of the lid 60 including the lid seal portion 63 is made of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. The main material constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is preferably an olefin-based random copolymer.

[0058] The thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z contains a polyolefin skeleton such as polyolefin or acid-modified polyolefin. The presence of a polyolefin skeleton in the resin constituting the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z can be determined by, for example, infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography mass spectrometry, or the like. Furthermore, when the resin constituting the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z is analyzed by infrared spectroscopy, it is preferable that a peak derived from maleic anhydride is detected. For example, when maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin is measured by infrared spectroscopy, a peak derived from maleic anhydride is detected at a wave number of 1760 cm. -1 Near and wave number 1780cm -1 A peak derived from maleic anhydride is detected around . When the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is a layer made of maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin, a peak derived from maleic anhydride is detected when measured by infrared spectroscopy. However, if the degree of acid modification is low, the peak becomes small and may not be detected. In such cases, analysis can be performed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

[0059] The thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z preferably contains a resin having a polyolefin skeleton as a main component, more preferably a polyolefin as a main component, and even more preferably polypropylene as a main component. Here, "main component" refers to a resin component whose content of the resin components contained in the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z is, for example, 35% by mass or more, preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more, even more preferably 70% by mass or more, even more preferably 80% by mass or more, even more preferably 90% by mass or more, even more preferably 95% by mass or more, even more preferably 98% by mass or more, and even more preferably 99% by mass or more. For example, "the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z contains polypropylene as a main component" refers to a resin component whose content of polypropylene of the resin components contained in the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z is, for example, 50% by mass or more, preferably 60% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, even more preferably 80% by mass or more, even more preferably 90% by mass or more, even more preferably 95% by mass or more, even more preferably 98% by mass or more, and even more preferably 99% by mass or more.

[0060] Specific examples of polyolefins include polyethylenes such as low-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, and linear low-density polyethylene; ethylene-α-olefin copolymers; polypropylenes such as homopolypropylene, block copolymers of polypropylene (e.g., block copolymers of propylene and ethylene), and random copolymers of polypropylene (e.g., random copolymers of propylene and ethylene); propylene-α-olefin copolymers; and ethylene-butene-propylene terpolymers. Among these, polypropylene is preferred. When the polyolefin resin is a copolymer, it may be a block copolymer or a random copolymer. These polyolefin resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0061] The polyolefin may also be a cyclic polyolefin. Cyclic polyolefins are copolymers of olefins and cyclic monomers, and examples of olefins constituting the cyclic polyolefin include ethylene, propylene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, styrene, butadiene, and isoprene. Examples of cyclic monomers constituting the cyclic polyolefin include cyclic alkenes such as norbornene; and cyclic dienes such as cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, and norbornadiene. Among these, preferred are cyclic alkenes, and more preferred are norbornene.

[0062] The polyolefin may also be an acid-modified polyolefin. An acid-modified polyolefin is a polymer modified by block polymerization or graft polymerization of a polyolefin with an acid component. Examples of the acid-modified polyolefin include the above-mentioned polyolefins, copolymers of the above-mentioned polyolefins with polar molecules such as acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, and polymers such as crosslinked polyolefins. Examples of the acid component used for acid modification include carboxylic acids or anhydrides thereof, such as maleic acid, acrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, maleic anhydride, and itaconic anhydride.

[0063] The acid-modified polyolefin may be an acid-modified cyclic polyolefin. The acid-modified cyclic polyolefin is a polymer obtained by copolymerizing a part of the monomers constituting the cyclic polyolefin by replacing it with an acid component, or by block polymerizing or graft polymerizing an acid component onto the cyclic polyolefin. The acid-modified cyclic polyolefin is the same as described above. The acid component used for the acid modification is the same as the acid component used for the modification of the polyolefin.

[0064] Preferred acid-modified polyolefins include polyolefins modified with carboxylic acid or its anhydride, polypropylenes modified with carboxylic acid or its anhydride, maleic anhydride-modified polyolefins, and maleic anhydride-modified polypropylenes.

[0065] It is preferable that the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z contains a plurality of types of amide-based lubricants. When the lid 60 is molded in the manufacture of the electricity storage device 10, the amide-based lubricants are present on the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. This improves the slipperiness of the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z, thereby enhancing the moldability of the lid 60.

[0066] Examples of methods for making the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z contain an amide-based lubricant include coating the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z of the lid 60 with the amide-based lubricant or blending the amide-based lubricant into the polyolefin resin that forms the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. Even when blending an amide-based lubricant into the polyolefin resin that forms the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z, the amide-based lubricant can be made to exist on the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z by causing the amide-based lubricant to bleed out onto the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. On the other hand, even when coating the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z of the lid 60 with the amide-based lubricant, a portion of the amide-based lubricant migrates from the surface to the interior, thereby making the amide-based lubricant present inside the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. A common method for causing the amide-based lubricant to bleed out onto the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is to mature the lid body 60 at a slightly high temperature of around 30 to 50°C for several hours to 3 days to accelerate the bleeding. However, as the melting point of the amide-based lubricant is approached, the saturated lubrication amount into the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z increases, so care must be taken with the amount added and the maturing temperature.

[0067] In this embodiment, it is preferable that the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z contains a plurality of types of fatty acid amide lubricants, and at least one of the fatty acid amide lubricants is a saturated fatty acid amide. The heat-sealable resin layer 60Z may contain only one type of fatty acid amide lubricant.

[0068] The saturated fatty acid amide may be used alone or in combination of two or more. The saturated fatty acid amide is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of further improving moldability and continuous productivity of the electricity storage device 10, preferably, saturated fatty acid amides having 18 or more carbon atoms, more preferably, stearic acid amide, behenic acid amide, arachidic acid amide, etc., are used, and particularly preferably, behenic acid amide is used.

[0069] In this embodiment, the amide-based lubricant other than the saturated fatty acid amide is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include saturated fatty acid amides other than the saturated fatty acid amides exemplified above, unsaturated fatty acid amides, substituted amides, methylolamides, saturated fatty acid bisamides, unsaturated fatty acid bisamides, etc. Specific examples of other saturated fatty acid amides include lauric acid amide, palmitic acid amide, stearic acid amide, hydroxystearic acid amide, etc. Specific examples of unsaturated fatty acid amides include oleic acid amide, erucic acid amide, etc. Specific examples of substituted amides include N-oleyl palmitic acid amide, N-stearyl stearic acid amide, N-stearyl oleic acid amide, N-oleyl stearic acid amide, N-stearyl erucic acid amide, etc. Specific examples of methylolamides include methylol stearic acid amide, etc. Specific examples of saturated fatty acid bisamides include methylene bisstearic acid amide, ethylene biscapric acid amide, ethylene bislauric acid amide, ethylene bisstearic acid amide, ethylene bishydroxystearic acid amide, ethylene bisbehenic acid amide, hexamethylene bisstearic acid amide, hexamethylene bisbehenic acid amide, hexamethylene hydroxystearic acid amide, N,N'-distearyl adipamide, and N,N'-distearyl sebacic acid amide. Specific examples of unsaturated fatty acid bisamides include ethylene bisoleic acid amide, ethylene biserucic acid amide, hexamethylene bisoleic acid amide, N,N'-dioleyl adipamide, and N,N'-dioleyl sebacic acid amide. Specific examples of fatty acid ester amides include stearamidoethyl stearate. Specific examples of aromatic bisamides include m-xylylene bisstearic acid amide, m-xylylene bishydroxystearic acid amide, N,N'-cystearyl isophthalic acid amide, etc. These amide lubricants may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0070] In this embodiment, it is preferable that the multiple types of amide-based lubricants further contain an unsaturated fatty acid amide in addition to the saturated fatty acid amide. This can further improve moldability and continuous productivity of the electricity storage device 10 when the lid 60 is not exposed to high temperatures. While the details of this mechanism are unclear, it can be thought of, for example, as follows. That is, unsaturated fatty acid amides have double bonds in their molecular structure, and when the molecules form an association complex, the olefin chains take on a folded structure. Therefore, unsaturated fatty acid amides are relatively mobile within the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z, easily bleed onto the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z, and easily exhibit slipperiness. On the other hand, saturated fatty acid amides do not have double bonds in their molecular structure, are linear, and have a bulky structure when the molecules form an association complex (especially when the carbon number is 18 or more). Therefore, they are less likely to bleed onto the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z even during high-temperature storage, and are less likely to exhibit slipperiness. One hypothesis is that the association of the unsaturated fatty acid amide and the saturated fatty acid amide forms an association that provides appropriate bleeding and slip properties. Another hypothesis is that the unsaturated fatty acid bleeds first to form a first layer on the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z, and then the bled saturated fatty acid forms a second layer between the first layer and the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z, thereby suppressing further bleeding of the unsaturated fatty acid, which causes the problem of white powder.

[0071] Regarding the carbon number of the saturated fatty acid amide, if the carbon number is less than 18, the weight loss due to overheating in the temperature range of about 230 to 280°C when the resin (such as polypropylene) forming the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is melt-extruded reaches about 50% or more. From the viewpoint of controlling the content, therefore, a carbon number of 18 or more is desirable. Furthermore, as described above, saturated fatty acids (regardless of the above speculation) suppress excessive bleeding of the lubricant, so a carbon number of about 22, such as behenic acid amide, is desirable. From the viewpoint of further improving moldability and continuous productivity of the electricity storage device 10, erucic acid amide is particularly preferable as the unsaturated fatty acid amide. One type of unsaturated fatty acid amide may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.

[0072] In another example, the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z may be made of any of an acid-modified polyolefin resin, an unsaturated carboxylic acid grafted polyolefin resin, a polypropylene resin, a metal ion cross-linked polyethylene, a copolymer resin of ethylene and an acrylic acid derivative, and a copolymer resin of ethylene and a methacrylic acid derivative.

[0073] In yet another example, the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z may be made of a polyolefin resin to which a propylene-based elastomer having a melting point higher than 150° C. has been added. Compared to a polyolefin resin to which a propylene-based elastomer having a melting point higher than 150° C. has not been added, the adhesive strength between the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z and the heat-sealable resin layer 53 of the exterior film 50 in an environment of around 150° C. is stable. This is because the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is formed in a state in which the propylene-based elastomer having a melting point higher than 150° C. is uniformly dispersed in the polyolefin resin, and the high-melting-point propylene-based elastomer resin remains uniformly dispersed in the polyolefin resin even after heat sealing (for example, a sealing temperature of 190° C., a surface pressure of 1.0 MPa, and a sealing time of 3.0 seconds). This prevents the portion where the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z and the heat-sealable resin layer 53 are sealed, ie, the second sealing portion 80 described below, from melting and softening even in a high-temperature environment of around 150°C.

[0074] The heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is characterized by having at least one layer having an elastic modulus of 1300 MPa or more, measured at an indentation load of 100 μN in the FB direction. Because the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z has an elastic modulus of 1300 MPa or more, it can exhibit high insulating properties even when minute foreign matter is present in the heat-sealed portion of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. Because the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z has at least one layer having a high elastic modulus of 1300 MPa or more, it can effectively prevent the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z from becoming thin, even when heat-sealed in a location where minute foreign matter is present.

[0075] From the viewpoint of further improving the insulating properties, the elastic modulus is preferably 1500 MPa or more, more preferably 1800 MPa or more, and even more preferably 2000 MPa or more, and is preferably 3000 MPa or less, more preferably 2800 MPa or less, and even more preferably 2500 MPa or less. Preferred ranges include about 1300 to 3000 MPa, about 1300 to 2800 MPa, about 1300 to 2500 MPa, about 1500 to 3000 MPa, about 1500 to 2800 MPa, about 1500 to 2500 MPa, about 1800 to 3000 MPa, about 1800 to 2800 MPa, about 1800 to 2500 MPa, about 2000 to 3000 MPa, about 2000 to 2800 MPa, and about 2000 to 2600 MPa. More specifically, when the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z is a layer having a strength of 1300 MPa or more, the above-mentioned elastic modulus is preferable.

[0076] The elastic modulus of the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z is measured by the indentation method as follows. The elastic modulus is measured using a nanoindenter (HYSITRON Corporation, TriboIndenter TI950). The nanoindenter uses a regular triangular pyramid (Berkovich type) indenter with a diamond tip (HYSITRON Corporation, TI-0039). The thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z is cut at room temperature (25°C) to expose a cross section of the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z. Next, the nanoindenter is used to measure the elastic modulus when the indenter is pressed perpendicularly against the cross section of the layer of the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z to be measured. The measurement conditions are a load control method, with the indentation load being a constant 100 μN (load applied from 0 to 100 μN in 10 seconds, held at 100 μN for 5 seconds, and then released from 100 to 0 μN in 10 seconds).

[0077] The heat-fusible resin layer 60Z preferably has a logarithmic decrement ΔE of 0.50 or less at 120° C. in rigid pendulum measurement. When the logarithmic decrement ΔE at 120° C. is 0.50 or less, collapse of the heat-fusible resin layer 60Z when heat-fused is effectively suppressed.

[0078] The logarithmic attenuation at 120°C in rigid pendulum measurement is an index representing the hardness of a resin in a high-temperature environment of 120°C, and a smaller logarithmic attenuation indicates a higher hardness of the resin. The temperature when the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z is thermally fused is high, and in the thermally fused portion formed by thermally fusion of the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z, the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z may significantly protrude inside the thermally fused portion (toward the space where the electrode body 20 is housed). If the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z significantly protrudes inside the thermally fused portion, cracks may occur in the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z starting from these protrusions (so-called polymer pools), and the insulation properties may be easily degraded. Therefore, if the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z significantly protrudes inside the thermally fused portion, the insulation properties may be easily degraded due to the cracks. For this reason, it is important to control the shape of the thermally fused portion, and for this purpose, the hardness of the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z at high temperatures is important. Therefore, in this embodiment, the logarithmic attenuation rate at a high temperature of 120°C is used. In rigid pendulum measurements, the attenuation rate of a pendulum is measured as the temperature of a resin is increased from a low temperature to a high temperature. In rigid pendulum measurements, the edge of the measurement object is generally brought into contact with the surface of the measurement object and the object is caused to oscillate left and right to vibrate. In this embodiment, the lid 60 is made of a hard heat-sealable resin layer 60Z having a logarithmic attenuation rate of 0.50 or less in a high-temperature environment of 120°C. This prevents the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z from collapsing (reducing its thickness) during heat fusion of the lid 60. By preventing the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z from collapsing too much, the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is prevented from protruding too far into the heat-sealed portion formed by heat fusion of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. This effectively prevents a decrease in the insulating properties of the lid 60 due to heat fusion.

[0079] The logarithmic attenuation factor ΔE is calculated by the following formula: ΔE=[ln(A1 / A2)+ln(A2 / A3)+...ln(An / An+1)] / n A: Amplitude n: wave number

[0080] From the viewpoint of effectively suppressing the collapse of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z when the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is heat-sealed, the logarithmic decrement ΔE at 120°C is preferably about 0.10 or more, more preferably about 0.11 or more, and even more preferably about 0.12 or more, and is also preferably about 0.50 or less, more preferably about 0.30 or less, even more preferably about 0.22 or less, and even more preferably 0.16 or less. Preferred ranges for the logarithmic decrement ΔE include about 0.10 to 0.50, about 0.10 to 0.30, about 0.10 to 0.22, about 0.10 to 0.16, about 0.11 to 0.50, about 0.11 to 0.30, about 0.11 to 0.22, about 0.11 to 0.16, about 0.12 to 0.50, about 0.12 to 0.30, about 0.12 to 0.22, and about 0.12 to 0.16.

[0081] The logarithmic decrement ΔE of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z can be adjusted by, for example, the melt mass flow rate (MFR), molecular weight, melting point, softening point, molecular weight distribution, crystallinity, etc. of the resin constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z.

[0082] In measuring the logarithmic decrement ΔE, a commercially available rigid pendulum physical property tester is used, and a rigid pendulum physical property test is performed on the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z under the following conditions: a cylindrical cylinder edge is used as the edge pressed against the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z, an initial amplitude of 0.3 degrees, and a temperature range of 30°C to 200°C at a heating rate of 3°C / min.

[0083] The melt mass flow rate of the heat-fusible resin layer 60Z at 230° C. is preferably in the range of 1 g / 10 min to 80 g / 10 min, and more preferably in the range of 5 g / 10 min to 60 g / 10 min. The melt mass flow rate is measured in accordance with JIS K7210-1:2014.

[0084] From the viewpoint of effectively suppressing misalignment of the second sealing portion 80, which will be described later, the melting point Tm1 of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is preferably 90° C. or higher and 245° C. or lower, and more preferably 100° C. or higher and 220° C. or lower. From the same viewpoint, the softening point Ts1 of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is preferably 70° C. or higher and 180° C. or lower, and more preferably 80° C. or higher and 150° C. or lower.

[0085] Here, the melting point Tm1 of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is a value obtained by measuring the melting points of the resin components constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z by a DSC method in accordance with JIS K6921-2 (ISO1873-2.2:95). When the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is formed of a blend resin containing multiple resin components, the melting point Tm1 can be calculated by determining the melting points of each resin as described above and averaging them weighted by mass ratio.

[0086] The softening point Ts1 of the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z is a value measured by a thermo-mechanical analyzer (TMA). When the thermally adhesive resin layer 60Z is made of a blend resin containing multiple resin components, the softening point Ts1 can be calculated by determining the softening points of the individual resins as described above and averaging them weighted by mass ratio.

[0087] The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the resin constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z is preferably 70,000 or more and 80,000 or less, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) is 320,000 or more and 370,000 or less, and the dispersity (Mw / Mn) is 4.5 or more and 5.5 or less.

[0088] Furthermore, although the details of the mechanism by which the number-average molecular weight (Mn) and weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the resin constituting the heat-fusible resin layer 60Z falling within the above-mentioned ranges can impart high insulating properties and heat-sealing properties to the lid 60 are not entirely clear, it can be considered, for example, as follows. That is, if the number-average molecular weight (Mn) is less than 70,000, the amount of low-molecular-weight components is high, resulting in increased crushing due to pressure during heat sealing and reduced insulating properties. On the other hand, if the number-average molecular weight (Mn) is greater than 80,000, the amount of low-molecular-weight components is low, which may result in a decrease in MFR and a loss of film-formability. Furthermore, if the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) is less than 320,000, the overall amount of high-molecular-weight components is low, resulting in increased crushing due to pressure during heat sealing and a loss of insulating properties. On the other hand, if the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) is greater than 370,000, the overall amount of high-molecular-weight components is high, which may result in a decrease in MFR and a loss of film-formability. Furthermore, although the details of the mechanism by which the polydispersity (Mw / Mn) of the resin constituting the heat-fusible resin layer 60Z within the above range can impart high insulating properties and heat-sealing properties to the lid 60 are not necessarily clear, it can be considered, for example, as follows: That is, if the polydispersity (Mw / Mn) is less than 4.5, the molecular weight distribution is narrow, which may cause necking during extrusion and result in reduced film-forming properties. On the other hand, if the polydispersity (Mw / Mn) is greater than 5.5, the molecular weight distribution is broadened and the amount of low-molecular-weight components increases, resulting in increased crushing due to pressure during heat sealing and reduced insulating properties.

[0089] In this embodiment, the lid body 60 has a through-hole 60X formed therein, into which the electrode terminal 30 is inserted. The through-hole 60X penetrates the first surface 61 and the second surface 62. When the electrode body 20 is stored, the electrode terminal 30 passes through the through-hole 60X formed in the lid body 60 and protrudes to the outside of the exterior body 40. A small gap between the through-hole 60X of the lid body 60 and the electrode terminal 30 is filled with, for example, resin. Note that, in the energy storage device 10, the position from which the electrode terminal 30 protrudes to the outside can be selected arbitrarily. For example, the electrode terminal 30 may protrude to the outside from a hole formed in any one of the six surfaces of the exterior body 40. In this case, a small gap between the exterior body 40 and the electrode terminal 30 is filled with, for example, resin. In the energy storage device 10, the lid body 60 and the electrode terminal 30 are provided as separate bodies; however, the lid body 60 and the electrode terminal 30 may be integrally formed. If the electrode terminals 30 do not protrude from the edge of the exterior body 40, the lid body 60 does not need to have the through-holes 60X formed therein.

[0090] In this embodiment, the first sealing portion 70 is formed by wrapping the exterior film 50 around the electrode body 20 so as to have an opening 40A, and then heat-sealing the opposing surfaces (heat-fusible resin layers 53) of the exterior film 50 together.

[0091] The first sealed portion 70 is formed by heat-sealing a portion of the exterior film 50 including the first edge 50A and a portion of the exterior film 50 including the second edge 50B shown in FIG. 3 . The first sealed portion 70 extends in the longitudinal direction of the exterior body 40. The position at which the first sealed portion 70 is formed in the exterior body 40 can be selected arbitrarily. In the present embodiment, the base 70X of the first sealed portion 70 is preferably located on the edge 43 at the boundary between the first surface 41 and the second surface 42 of the exterior body 40. The first surface 41 has a larger area than the second surface 42. The base 70X of the first sealed portion 70 may be located on any surface of the exterior body 40. In the present embodiment, the first sealed portion 70 protrudes outward beyond the electrode assembly 20 in a plan view. The first sealed portion 70 may be folded, for example, toward the second surface 42 or the first surface 41 of the exterior body 40.

[0092] In this embodiment, the second sealing portion 80 is formed by heat-sealing the heat-fusible resin layer 53 of the exterior film 50 and the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60. Hereinafter, the seal strength between the heat-fusible resin layer 53 of the exterior film 50 and the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60 may be referred to as the seal strength of the second sealing portion 80. The seal strength of the second sealing portion 80 is the seal strength between the heat-fusible resin layer 53 and the lid body 60 at the long side portion of the lid seal portion 63, i.e., the lid seal portion 63 extending in the L-R (width) direction in FIG. 1A .

[0093] The seal strength of the second sealing portion 80 is measured as follows. First, a slit is made in the portion of the exterior film 50 that constitutes the first surface 41 of the exterior body 40, forming three strip-shaped members 41X, 41Y, and 41Z (see the two-dot chain lines in FIG. 1B) aligned in the L-R direction. The width of the three strip-shaped members 41X, 41Y, and 41Z in the L-R direction is 15 mm. The ends of the strip-shaped members 41X, 41Y, and 41Z are joined to the lid body 60 at the second sealing portion 80. The length of the lid body 60 in the L-R direction is 45 mm or more. Next, the end of each of the strip-shaped members 41X, 41Y, and 41Z opposite the end joined to the lid body 60 is pulled upward in the UD direction (away from the first surface 41B), thereby measuring the seal strength of each of the strip-shaped members 41X, 41Y, and 41Z. In this embodiment, the seal strength of the second sealing portion 80 is the average value of the seal strengths of the strip-shaped members 41X, 41Y, and 41Z. When the length of the lid body 60 in the L-R direction is less than 45 mm, three strip-shaped members with an arbitrary width X mm, less than 15 mm, are formed, and the seal strengths of the three strip-shaped members are measured in the same manner as when the length of the lid body 60 in the L-R direction is 45 mm or more. The obtained seal strengths are each divided by the arbitrary width X mm and multiplied by 15 to convert them to the seal strengths of the three strip-shaped members in a 15 mm width. The seal strength of the second sealing portion 80 is the average value of the seal strengths of the three strip-shaped members converted to a 15 mm width. Note that when the lid body 60 is divided into multiple parts including long and short sides, the seal strength of the second sealing portion 80 is the seal strength of the long sides of the lid seal portions 63 of the multiple parts.

[0094] From the viewpoint of suitably maintaining the state in which the electrode assembly 20 is sealed by the exterior housing 40, the seal strength of the second sealing unit 80 is preferably 40 N / 15 mm or more, more preferably 50 N / 15 mm or more, even more preferably 60 N / 15 mm or more, even more preferably 70 N / 15 mm or more, and even more preferably 85 N / 15 mm or more. When the seal strength of the second sealing unit 80 is 40 N / 15 mm or more, the state in which the electrode assembly 20 is sealed by the exterior housing 40 is suitably maintained even after the electricity storage device 10 has been used for, for example, several years (less than 10 years). When the seal strength of the second sealing unit 80 is 85 N / 15 mm or more, the state in which the electrode assembly 20 is sealed by the exterior housing 40 is suitably maintained even after the electricity storage device 10 has been used for, for example, 10 years or more. The seal strength of the second sealing unit 80 is preferably 300 N / 15 mm or less. A preferred range for the seal strength of the second sealing portion 80 is 40N / 15mm to 300N / 15mm, 50N / 15mm to 300N / 15mm, 60N / 15mm to 300N / 15mm, 70N / 15mm to 300N / 15mm, or 85N / 15mm to 300N / 15mm.

[0095] In this embodiment, the lid body 60 preferably has a protrusion 68 protruding from the lid seal portion 63 to prevent a gap from forming between the exterior film 50 and the lid body 60. The protrusion 68 may be formed integrally with the lid main body 60A, or may be formed separately from the lid main body 60A and joined to the lid main body 60A. In this embodiment, the protrusion 68 is formed integrally with the lid main body 60A. The position at which the protrusion 68 is formed in the lid seal portion 63 can be selected arbitrarily. A gap between the exterior film 50 and the lid body 60 is likely to form, for example, between the base 70X of the first sealing portion 70 and the lid body 60. In particular, when the base 70X of the first sealing portion 70 is located between the boundary 64 and boundary 67 of the lid body 60, the resin filling ability between the base 70X of the first sealing portion 70 and the lid body 60 is likely to decrease. For this reason, the protrusion 68 is preferably formed in the lid seal portion 63 at the location where the base 70X of the first sealing portion 70 is located. In this embodiment, the base 70X of the first sealing portion 70 is located at the boundary 64 of the lid body 60. For this reason, the protrusion 68 is preferably formed at the boundary 64 in the lid seal portion 63. In this embodiment, the first sealing portion 70 is sealed with the protrusion 68 sandwiched between them. Note that the protrusion 68 may be formed on at least one of the first seal surface 63A, the second seal surface 63B, the third seal surface 63C, the fourth seal surface 63D, the boundary 65, the boundary 66, and the boundary 67.

[0096] The shape of the protrusion 68 can be selected arbitrarily. In this embodiment, the shape of the protrusion 68 is plate-like. The thickness of the protrusion 68 can be selected arbitrarily. In this embodiment, the thickness of the protrusion 68 becomes thinner as it moves away from the boundary 64. In other words, the protrusion 68 has a tapered shape as it moves away from the boundary 64. The thickness of the protrusion 68 may be constant, or may become thicker as it moves away from the boundary 64.

[0097] The direction in which the protrusion 68 extends can be selected arbitrarily. In this embodiment, the protrusion 68 extends along the first direction (in this embodiment, the LR direction). The protrusion 68 may also extend along the second direction (in this embodiment, the UD direction).

[0098] The length of the protrusion 68 can be selected arbitrarily within a range equal to or less than the length of the first sealing portion 70. For example, the length of the protrusion 68 may be substantially equal to the length of the first sealing portion 70, or may be 30% to 50% of the length of the first sealing portion 70.

[0099] <1-2. Method for manufacturing electricity storage devices> 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a method for manufacturing the electricity storage device 10. The method for manufacturing the electricity storage device 10 includes, for example, a first step, a second step, a third step, and a fourth step. The first step to the fourth step are performed by, for example, a manufacturing apparatus for the electricity storage device 10.

[0100] In the first process of step S11, the manufacturing equipment places the lid body 60, to which the electrode terminals 30 are attached, on both ends of the electrode body 20. Completion of the first process electrically connects the electrode terminals 30 to the electrodes of the electrode body 20. Note that in the first process, the lid body 60 may be connected to the electrode terminals 30 that are electrically connected to the electrode body 20.

[0101] The second step of step S12 is performed after the first step. In the second step, the manufacturing apparatus winds the exterior film 50 around the electrode assembly 20 and the lid body 60 while tension is applied to the exterior film 50, while restricting the movement of the electrode assembly 20 and the lid body 60 using a restricting means. The restricting means is, for example, a groove into which the electrode assembly 20 and the lid body 60 are fitted. The restricting means may be a device that applies an external force to the electrode assembly 20 and the lid body 60 to prevent the electrode assembly 20 and the lid body 60 from moving. The restricting means may be a device that applies a force to the electrode assembly 20 and the lid body 60 in a direction opposite to the direction in which the exterior film 50 is pulled. The restricting means may include a roller that runs on the exterior film 50 while the exterior film 50 is being pulled, in order to remove wrinkles in the exterior film 50.

[0102] The third step of step S13 is performed after the second step. In the third step, the manufacturing apparatus forms a first sealing portion 70 by heat-sealing the heat-sealable resin layer 53 in a portion including the first edge 50A of the exterior film 50 and the heat-sealable resin layer 53 in a portion including the second edge 50B while restricting movement of the electrode body 20 and the lid body 60 and applying tension to the exterior film 50 so that the protruding portion 68 of the lid body 60 is sandwiched by the exterior film 50. The third step corresponds to the step of forming the first sealing portion 70.

[0103] The fourth step of step S14 is carried out after the third step. The manufacturing device heat-seals the exterior film 50 and the lid 60 together to form the second sealed portion 80.

[0104] <1-3. Actions and Effects of Electricity Storage Devices> In the electricity storage device 10, the lid body 60 is made of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z and is therefore suitably heat-sealed to the heat-sealable resin layer 53 of the exterior film 50. Therefore, the electrode body 20 can be suitably sealed by the exterior body 40.

[0105] [2. Modifications] The above-described embodiments are examples of possible forms of the lid, the electricity storage device, and the peripheral member according to the present invention, and are not intended to limit the forms. The lid, the electricity storage device, and the peripheral member according to the present invention may take forms different from those illustrated in the embodiments. Examples of such forms include forms in which part of the configuration of the embodiment is replaced, modified, or omitted, or forms in which a new configuration is added to the embodiment. Some examples of modified forms of the embodiments are shown below. Note that the following modified forms can be combined with each other as long as there is no technical contradiction.

[0106] <2-1. First modified example> In the electricity storage device 10 of the above embodiment, the lid 60 does not have to have the protrusion 68. The first modification can also be similarly applied to the following second to fourteenth modifications.

[0107] <2-2. Second modified example> In the electricity storage device 10 of the above embodiment, the direction in which the protrusion 68 extends can be changed as desired. For example, as shown in Fig. 8, the protrusion 68 may extend in a third direction intersecting the first direction (LR direction in the embodiment) and the second direction (UD direction in the embodiment) in a front view of the lid 60.

[0108] <2-3.Third modified example> In the electricity storage device 10 of the above embodiment, the configuration of the lid body 60 can be modified as desired. As shown in FIG. 9 , the lid body 60 may include a peripheral member 60B joined to at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the lid main body 60A. In a third modified example, the peripheral member 60B is a frame that covers the entire peripheral edge of the lid main body 60A. In this modified example, the lid main body 60A may be made of any material, such as metal or resin. The peripheral member 60B is made of a heat-sealable resin layer 60BZ. The specifications of the heat-sealable resin layer 60BZ can be applied to the specifications of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. In the third modified example, the lid seal portion 63 and the protrusion 68 of the lid body 60 are formed on the peripheral member 60B. In the third modified example, the lid main body 60A and the peripheral member 60B may be formed as separate bodies and joined to each other. In the third modified example, the lid main body 60A and the peripheral member 60B may be integrally formed by two-color molding or insert molding.

[0109] In a third modification, the electricity storage device 10 may include at least one of an adhesive film and an adhesive layer between the lid main body 60A and the peripheral member 60B to suitably bond them together. The adhesive film or adhesive layer may be a single layer or a multilayer, and preferably contains at least a resin material having a polar group. The adhesive layer can be formed by dip coating, a dispenser, inkjet printing, spraying, screen printing, or the like. From the viewpoint of suitably bonding the lid main body 60A and the peripheral member 60B, it is preferable that the surface of at least the lid seal portion 63 of the lid main body 60A be subjected to a roughening treatment.

[0110] In the third modification, the lid seal portion 63 of the peripheral member 60B preferably has a certain thickness so that deformation of the exterior body 40 is suppressed even when the power storage devices 10 are arranged one on top of the other. From another perspective, the lid seal portion 63 of the peripheral member 60B preferably has a certain thickness so that the lid seal portion 63 of the peripheral member 60B and the exterior film 50 can be heat-sealed appropriately when the second sealing portion 80 is formed. The minimum thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the peripheral member 60B is, for example, 1.0 mm, more preferably 3.0 mm, and even more preferably 4.0 mm. The maximum thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the peripheral member 60B is, for example, 20 mm, more preferably 15 mm, and even more preferably 10 mm. The maximum thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the peripheral member 60B may be 20 mm or more. The preferred ranges for the thickness of the lid seal portion 63 of the peripheral member 60B are 1.0 mm to 20 mm, 1.0 mm to 15 mm, 1.0 mm to 10 mm, 3.0 mm to 20 mm, 3.0 mm to 15 mm, 3.0 mm to 10 mm, 4.0 mm to 20 mm, 4.0 mm to 15 mm, and 4.0 mm to 10 mm.

[0111] <2-4. Fourth Modification> In the electricity storage device 10 of the above embodiment, the specific method for forming the protrusion 68 of the lid body 60 can be changed as desired. For example, the protrusion 68 may be formed by an adhesive film or the like bonded to the lid seal portion 63 of the lid main body 60A. In this modification, for example, the protrusion 68 may be formed by bonding a plurality of adhesive films to the lid seal portion 63 in an overlapping manner, or the protrusion 68 may be formed by bonding an adhesive film to the lid seal portion 63 in a flap shape.

[0112] <2-5. Fifth Modification> The electricity storage device 10 of the above embodiment may have a peripheral member 60C disposed between the exterior film 50 and the lid body 60A, as shown in FIG. 10 , in order to suitably bond the exterior film 50 and the lid body 60. In the fifth modified example, the peripheral member 60C is an adhesive film bonded to the peripheral portion (lid seal portion 63) of the lid body 60A. In the fifth modified example, for example, any material such as metal or resin can be used as the material forming the lid body 60A. In the fifth modified example, the peripheral member 60C is bonded to substantially the entire lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60A. Note that the peripheral member 60C may be bonded to at least a portion of the first surface 61 and at least a portion of the second surface 62 of the lid body 60.

[0113] In the fifth modified example, for example, the lid body 60 with the peripheral member 60C adhered thereto is attached to the openings 40A at both ends of the exterior body 40, and then the second sealing portion 80 is formed. For example, the peripheral member 60C may be wrapped around the lid body 60 so as to cover the entire surface of the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60. It is preferable that the peripheral member 60C is configured to be wider overall than the lid seal portion 63 of the lid body 60. In this case, the peripheral member 60C can be easily adhered to the lid body 60. Furthermore, because the boundaries 64 to 67 of the lid seal portion 63 are covered by the peripheral member 60C, the adhesion between the lid body 60 and the peripheral member 60C is improved.

[0114] FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the layer structure of the peripheral member 60C. The peripheral member 60C is a film capable of bonding the exterior film 50 and the lid 60. The peripheral member 60C preferably has a heat-sealable resin layer 60CA at least in a portion that is bonded to the heat-sealable resin layer 53 of the exterior film 50. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the peripheral member 60C is a laminate (laminate film) having at least the heat-sealable resin layer 60CA, the barrier layer 60CB, and the heat-sealable resin layer 60CC, in this order. The peripheral member 60C may have a single-layer structure of the heat-sealable resin layer 60CA. The specifications of the heat-sealable resin layers 60CA and 60CC of the peripheral member 60C are the same as those of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z. The specifications of the barrier layer 60CB are the same as those of the barrier layer 52 of the exterior film 50. The peripheral member 60C may have a heat-sealable resin layer instead of the heat-sealable resin layer 60CC on the side of the peripheral member 60C that is bonded to the lid body 60. The material constituting the heat-sealable resin layer is preferably an acid-modified polyolefin resin graft-modified with an acid such as maleic anhydride. The material constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 60CC of the peripheral member 60C can be selected arbitrarily as long as it can be bonded to the lid body 60A.

[0115] The peripheral member 60C may have a heat-resistant base layer instead of or in addition to the barrier layer 60CB. The heat-resistant base layer may be any film made of a heat-resistant resin, such as a non-stretched or stretched film of polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, polymethylpentene (registered trademark), polyacetal cyclic polyolefin, polyethylene, or polypropylene. Polyethylene terephthalate is particularly preferable because it is inexpensive and has high strength.

[0116] The peripheral member 60C preferably has adhesive properties. When the peripheral member 60C has adhesive properties, the peripheral member 60C is less likely to shift position relative to the lid 60 and the lid film 50 when the second sealing portion 80 is formed with the peripheral member 60C disposed between the lid 60 and the lid film 50. By incorporating a tackifying resin into the heat-sealable resin layers 60CA, 60CC of the peripheral member 60C, adhesiveness can be imparted to the peripheral member 60C. Examples of the tackifying resin include amorphous polyolefins. Examples of amorphous polyolefins include amorphous polypropylene and copolymers of amorphous propylene and other α-olefins. The content of the tackifying resin relative to the base material constituting the heat-sealable resin is preferably 10 to 20 wt % or less.

[0117] <2-6. Sixth Variation> In the above embodiment, it is possible to arbitrarily select the position where the electrode terminal 30 is disposed. For example, the electrode terminal 30 may protrude from the first sealing portion .

[0118] <2-7. Seventh Variation> In the above embodiment, the exterior film 50 of the electricity storage device 10 may protrude outward beyond at least one of the two lid bodies 60 in the FB direction. The electrode body 20 is sealed by closing the portion of the exterior film 50 that protrudes outward beyond the lid body 60. The portion of the exterior film 50 that protrudes beyond the lid body 60 may be folded like a Gabeltop pouch or a brick pouch.

[0119] <2-8. Eighth Variation> In the above embodiment, the exterior body 40 may not have one of the two lid bodies 60. In this modification, in the FB direction, in the portion of the exterior body 40 where the lid body 60 is omitted, the electrode body 20 is sealed by closing the portion of the exterior film 50 that protrudes outward beyond the electrode body 20. In this modification, the portion of the exterior film 50 that protrudes outward beyond the electrode body 20 may be folded like a Gabeltop pouch or a brick pouch.

[0120] <2-9. Ninth Variation> In the above embodiment, the outer shape of the exterior body 40 can be changed as desired. The outer shape of the exterior body 40 may be a cylinder, a prism, or a cube.

[0121] <2-10. 10th Variation> In the above embodiment, the lid 60 may be configured to include a heat-sealable resin layer 160Z as shown in FIG. 12, instead of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z shown in FIG. 4. In a third modified example, the peripheral member 60B may be configured to include a heat-sealable resin layer 160ZB as shown in FIG. 13, instead of the heat-sealable resin layer 60BZ shown in FIG. 9. In a fifth modified example, the peripheral member 60C may be configured to include a heat-sealable resin layer 160CA as shown in FIG. 14, instead of the heat-sealable resin layer 60CA shown in FIG. 11. Hereinafter, when there is no particular need to distinguish between the heat-sealable resin layer 160Z, the heat-sealable resin layer 160ZB, and the heat-sealable resin layer 160CA, they may be simply referred to as heat-sealable resin layers.

[0122] In the tenth variant, the heat-sealable resin layer is characterized in that, when the temperature difference T1 and the temperature difference T2 are measured by the following method, the value obtained by dividing the temperature difference T2 by the temperature difference T1 (ratio T2 / T1) is 0.60 or more.

[0123] (Measurement of temperature difference T1) A DSC curve is obtained for the heat-fusible resin layer by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in accordance with the provisions of JIS K7121:2012. From the obtained DSC curve, the temperature difference T1 between the extrapolated melting start temperature and the extrapolated melting end temperature of the melting peak temperature of the heat-fusible resin layer is measured. Note that the measurement of the temperature difference T1 differs from the measurement of the temperature difference T2 described below, in that the measurement object is a heat-fusible resin layer that has not been subjected to treatment such as immersion in an electrolyte.

[0124] (Measurement of temperature difference T2) The heat-sealable resin layer was placed in an electrolyte solution containing 1 mol / L of lithium hexafluorophosphate and a 1:1:1 volume ratio of ethylene carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and dimethyl carbonate in an 85°C environment for 72 hours, and then dried. Next, a DSC curve was obtained for the dried heat-sealable resin layer by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in accordance with JIS K7121:2012. From the obtained DSC curve, the temperature difference T2 between the extrapolated melting peak temperature (the melting onset temperature) and the extrapolated melting end temperature (the melting end temperature) of the heat-sealable resin layer was measured.

[0125] The resin component used in the heat-sealable resin layer is not particularly limited as long as it is heat-sealable, and examples thereof include polyolefins, cyclic polyolefins, acid-modified polyolefins, and acid-modified cyclic polyolefins. That is, the heat-sealable resin layer may contain a polyolefin skeleton, and preferably contains a polyolefin skeleton. The presence of a polyolefin skeleton in the heat-sealable resin layer can be determined by, for example, infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography mass spectrometry, or the like, and the analysis method is not particularly limited. For example, when maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin is measured by infrared spectroscopy, it is found that the peak wavelength is 1760 cm. -1 Near and wave number 1780cm -1 A peak derived from maleic anhydride is detected around this point. However, if the degree of acid modification is low, the peak may be small and not be detected. In this case, analysis can be performed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

[0126] Specific examples of the polyolefin include polyethylenes such as low-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, and linear low-density polyethylene; polypropylenes such as homopolypropylene, block copolymers of polypropylene (e.g., block copolymers of propylene and ethylene), and random copolymers of polypropylene (e.g., random copolymers of propylene and ethylene); and ethylene-butene-propylene terpolymers. Among these polyolefins, polyethylene and polypropylene are preferred.

[0127] The cyclic polyolefin is a copolymer of an olefin and a cyclic monomer, and examples of the olefin constituting the cyclic polyolefin include ethylene, propylene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, butadiene, and isoprene. Examples of the cyclic monomer constituting the cyclic polyolefin include cyclic alkenes such as norbornene; specifically, cyclic dienes such as cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, and norbornadiene. Among these polyolefins, preferred are cyclic alkenes, and more preferred are norbornene.

[0128] The acid-modified polyolefin is a polymer obtained by modifying the polyolefin by block polymerization or graft polymerization with an acid component such as a carboxylic acid. Examples of the acid component used for modification include carboxylic acids and anhydrides thereof, such as maleic acid, acrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, maleic anhydride, and itaconic anhydride.

[0129] The acid-modified cyclic polyolefin is a polymer obtained by copolymerizing a cyclic polyolefin by substituting an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride for some of the monomers constituting the cyclic polyolefin, or by block or graft polymerizing an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride onto the cyclic polyolefin. The carboxylic acid-modified cyclic polyolefin is the same as described above. The carboxylic acid used for the modification is the same as the acid component used for the modification of the polyolefin.

[0130] Among these resin components, polyolefins such as polypropylene and carboxylic acid-modified polyolefins are preferred; polypropylene and acid-modified polypropylene are more preferred.

[0131] The heat-fusible resin layer may be formed of one type of resin component alone, or may be formed of a blend polymer of two or more types of resin components.Furthermore, the heat-fusible resin layer may be formed of only one layer, or may be formed of two or more layers of the same or different resin components.

[0132] The heat-fusible resin layer may contain a lubricant. The lubricant present on the surface of the heat-fusible resin layer may be a lubricant exuded from the resin constituting the heat-fusible resin layer, or a lubricant applied to the surface of the heat-fusible resin layer.

[0133] More specifically, as can be seen from the measurement of the temperature differences T1 and T2 described below, the closer the ratio T2 / T1 is to the upper limit of 1.0, the smaller the change in the width between the start point (extrapolated melting onset temperature) and end point (extrapolated melting end temperature) of the melting peak before and after contact with the electrolytic solution. That is, the value of the temperature difference T2 is usually equal to or less than the value of the temperature difference T1. One factor that contributes to the large change in the width between the extrapolated melting onset temperature and the extrapolated melting end temperature of the melting peak is that low-molecular-weight resin contained in the resin constituting the heat-fusible resin layer dissolves into the electrolytic solution upon contact with the electrolytic solution, resulting in a smaller width between the extrapolated melting onset temperature and the extrapolated melting end temperature of the melting peak of the heat-fusible resin layer after contact with the electrolytic solution compared to before contact with the electrolytic solution. One method for reducing the change in the width between the extrapolated melting onset temperature and the extrapolated melting end temperature of the melting peak is to adjust the proportion of low-molecular-weight resin contained in the resin constituting the heat-fusible resin layer.

[0134] A commercially available differential scanning calorimeter can be used to measure the extrapolated melting onset temperature and extrapolated melting end temperature of the melting peak temperature. The DSC curve used is as follows: the test sample is held at -50°C for 10 minutes, then heated to 200°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min (first run), held at 200°C for 10 minutes, cooled to -50°C at a heating rate of -10°C / min, held at -50°C for 10 minutes, heated to 200°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min (second run), held at 200°C for 10 minutes, and then heated to 200°C for the second run. When measuring the temperature difference T1 and the temperature difference T2, the melting peak appearing in the range of 120 to 160°C in each DSC curve is analyzed, focusing on the melting peak with the largest difference in thermal energy input. Even if two or more overlapping peaks exist, only the melting peak with the largest difference in thermal energy input is analyzed.

[0135] The extrapolated melting onset temperature refers to the start point of the melting peak temperature and is the temperature at the intersection of a line drawn by extending the baseline on the low-temperature side (65-75°C) toward the high-temperature side and a tangent drawn at the point where the gradient is maximum on the curve on the low-temperature side of the melting peak where the difference in thermal energy input is maximum. The extrapolated melting end temperature refers to the end point of the melting peak temperature and is the temperature at the intersection of a line drawn by extending the baseline on the high-temperature side (170°C) toward the low-temperature side and a tangent drawn at the point where the gradient is maximum on the curve on the high-temperature side of the melting peak where the difference in thermal energy input is maximum.

[0136] In order to achieve even higher seal strength through heat fusion, even when an electrolytic solution comes into contact with the heat-sealable resin layer in a high-temperature environment and the heat-sealable resin layers are heat-sealed together with the electrolytic solution adhering to the heat-sealable resin layer, the value obtained by dividing the temperature difference T2 by the temperature difference T1 (ratio T2 / T1) is preferably 0.70 or more, more preferably 0.75 or more, and preferred ranges include about 0.70 to 1.0, and about 0.75 to 1.0. The upper limit is, for example, 1.0. To achieve such a ratio T2 / T1, for example, the type, composition, molecular weight, etc. of the resin constituting the heat-sealable resin layer can be adjusted.

[0137] <2-11. 11th Variation> In the fifth modified example, the peripheral member 60C may include a heat-sealable resin layer 260CA as shown in FIG. 15, instead of the heat-sealable resin layer 60CA shown in FIG. 11. That is, in the eleventh modified example, the peripheral member 60C is formed from a laminate including at least a barrier layer 60CB and a heat-sealable resin layer 260CA, in this order, from the inside (the lid 60 side) to the outside (the exterior film 50 side). It is sufficient for the peripheral member 60C to include at least the heat-sealable resin layer 260CA. The peripheral member 60C includes a peripheral member seal portion that is sealed to the exterior film 50 that constitutes the exterior body 40. In the eleventh modified example, a sea-island structure is observed in a cross-sectional image of a thickness direction cross section of the peripheral member seal portion obtained using a field emission scanning electron microscope, and the area ratio of the island portions of the sea-island structure in the cross-sectional image is 0.1% or more and 50% or less. The heat-sealable resin layer 260CA corresponds to the peripheral member seal portion. In the cross-sectional image, the area ratio RA of the island portions of the sea-island structure is preferably 5% or more and 50% or less, more preferably 10% or more and 50% or less, and even more preferably 25% or more and 35% or less.

[0138] The primary material constituting the thermally adhesive resin layer 260CA can be selected arbitrarily as long as the material has an RA ratio of 5% to 50%. The primary material constituting the thermally adhesive resin layer 260CA is preferably an olefin copolymer, more preferably an olefin random copolymer. In the eleventh modification, when a cross section of the thermally adhesive resin layer 260CA arranged on the first seal surface 63A or the fourth seal surface 63D, cut along a plane perpendicular to the FB direction, and a cross section cut along a plane perpendicular to the LR direction, are observed using a scanning electron microscope, the cross section in which the average aspect ratio of the island shapes is closest to 1 is defined as the TD cross section. When a cross section of the thermally adhesive resin layer 260CA arranged on the second seal surface 63B or the third seal surface 63C, cut along a plane perpendicular to the FB direction, and a cross section cut along a plane perpendicular to the UD direction, are observed using a scanning electron microscope, the cross section in which the average aspect ratio of the island shapes is closest to 1 is defined as the TD cross section.

[0139] The observation of a sea-island structure in a cross-sectional image means that a sea portion (sea part) and an island portion (island part) are observed in the cross-sectional image. When a small amount of polyethylene is added to polypropylene and a heat-sealable resin layer is formed by melt extrusion molding, a sea-island structure is formed in which polyethylene island parts are dispersed in a sea portion of polypropylene. To observe the sea-island structure, as described below, the cross section of the heat-sealable resin layer is stained with ruthenium tetroxide or the like, and a cross-sectional image is obtained and observed using a scanning electron microscope. The specifications for the eleventh modified example can also be applied to the peripheral member 60B (frame body) shown in FIG. 9. The portion of the peripheral member 60B including the lid seal portion 63 corresponds to the peripheral member seal portion.

[0140] <2-12. 12th Variation> In the above embodiment, the lid 60 may be configured to include a heat-sealable resin layer 260Z as shown in FIG. 16 instead of the heat-sealable resin layer 60Z shown in FIG. 4. A sea-island structure is observed in a cross-sectional image of a thickness direction cross section of the lid seal portion 63 of the lid 60, obtained using a field emission scanning electron microscope, and the area ratio RB of the island portions of the sea-island structure in the cross-sectional image is 0.1% to 50%, preferably 5% to 50%, more preferably 10% to 50%, and even more preferably 25% to 35%. In the twelfth modification, it is sufficient that at least a portion of the lid 60 including the lid seal portion 63 is formed of the heat-sealable resin layer 260Z. The main material constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 260Z can be selected arbitrarily as long as the ratio RB is 0.1% to 50%. The main material constituting the heat-fusible resin layer 260Z is preferably an olefin copolymer, more preferably an olefin random copolymer.

[0141] "A sea-island structure is observed in a cross-sectional image" means that a sea portion (sea part) and an island portion (island part) are observed in the cross-sectional image. When a small amount of polyethylene is added to polypropylene and a heat-sealable resin layer is formed by melt extrusion molding, a sea-island structure is formed in which polyethylene island parts are dispersed in the sea portion of polypropylene. To observe the sea-island structure, the cross-section of the heat-sealable resin layer 260Z is stained with ruthenium tetroxide or the like, and a cross-sectional image is obtained and observed using a scanning electron microscope.

[0142] <2-13. 13th Variation> In the fifth modification, the peripheral member 60C as an adhesive film may be made of cast polypropylene having necessary physical properties such as heat resistance and moisture resistance.

[0143] <2-14. 14th Variation> Fig. 17 is a cross-sectional view of the electricity accumulation device 10 of the fourteenth modification. Fig. 18 is a cross-sectional view of the lid 60 and its periphery in Fig. 17. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 , a barrier film 90 may be bonded to the lid 60 to prevent at least one of moisture and gas from penetrating into the interior of the exterior body 40. In this embodiment, the barrier film 90 prevents moisture and gas from penetrating into the interior of the exterior body 40. The barrier film 90 may be bonded to the lid 60 at a position where it can be bonded to the exterior film 50. In the example shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 , the barrier film 90 covers the entire lid seal portion 63, the second surface 62, and the inside of the through-hole 60X of the lid 60. The barrier film 90 may also cover the boundaries 64 to 67. Because the barrier film 90 covers the lid seal portion 63 and the boundaries 64 to 67, as well as the second surface 62 and the inside of the through-hole 60X, moisture is prevented from penetrating into the interior of the exterior body 40 between the electrode terminal 30 and the through-hole 60X. The barrier film 90 may be formed from a single film, or, for example, the portion covering the lid seal portion 63 and the portion covering the second surface 62 may be formed separately. In other words, the barrier film 90 may be formed from a plurality of divided films.

[0144] The position of the end 90A of the portion of the barrier film 90 that covers the lid seal portion 63 and the position of the end 90B of the portion that covers the inside of the through-hole 60X of the lid body 60 can be selected arbitrarily. When the electricity storage device 10 is a battery containing an electrolyte solution such as a lithium ion battery, the ends 90A and 90B of the barrier film 90 may come into contact with gas such as hydrogen fluoride generated from the electrolyte solution, which may corrode a barrier layer 91 provided in the barrier film 90, which will be described later.

[0145] For this reason, from the viewpoint of suppressing corrosion of the barrier layer 91, it is preferable that the end 90A be located closer to the second surface 62 than to the boundary between the lid seal portion 63 and the first surface 61. From the same viewpoint, it is preferable that the end 90B be located closer to the opening of the through-hole 60X on the second surface 62 side than to the opening of the through-hole 60X on the first surface 61 side. Note that the end 90A may be located at the boundary between the lid seal portion 63 and the first surface 61, or may extend to a position closer to the electrode body 20 than to the lid body 60. The end 90B may be located near the opening of the through-hole 60X on the first surface 61 side, or may extend to a position closer to the electrode body 20 than to the lid body 60.

[0146] 19 and 20 are cross-sectional views showing examples of the layer structure of the barrier film 90. FIG. 19, a barrier film 90 may include a barrier layer 91 and a heat-sealable resin layer 92 laminated on the surface of the barrier layer 91 opposite to the surface bonded to the lid 60. The specifications of the barrier layer 91 can be the same as those of the barrier layer 52.

[0147] The heat-sealable resin layer 92 is heat-sealed to the heat-sealable resin layer 53 of the exterior film 50. The specifications of the heat-sealable resin layer 92 can be the same as those of the heat-sealable resin layers 60Z, 60BZ, 60CA, 60CC, 160Z, 160BZ, 160CA, 260CA, and 260Z. The heat-sealable resin layer 92 may be thinner than the heat-sealable resin layer 53. The thickness of the heat-sealable resin layer 92 may be, for example, 5 to 20 μm.

[0148] As shown in FIG. 20 , the barrier film 90 may include a heat-sealable resin layer 93 laminated on the surface of the barrier layer 91 that is to be bonded to the lid 60. The specifications of the heat-sealable resin layer 93 are the same as those of the heat-sealable resin layer 92. The heat-sealable resin layer 93 may be thinner than the heat-sealable resin layer 53. The thickness of the heat-sealable resin layer 93 may be, for example, 5 to 20 μm. When the barrier film 90 includes the heat-sealable resin layer 93, the barrier film 90 and the lid 60 can be suitably bonded together by heat fusion. The barrier layer 91 and the heat-sealable resin layer 93 may be bonded together by an adhesive layer 55.

[0149] In the fourteenth modification, the barrier film 90 may be bonded to only at least a part of the second surface 62 of the lid 60. In this configuration, as in the seventh modification, the electrode body 20 may be sealed by heat-sealing the heat-fusible resin layer 53 of the portion of the exterior film 50 that protrudes outward beyond the lid 60 and the heat-fusible resin layer 92 of the barrier film 90.
