[0003] In such a stacked-type all-solid-state battery, the current collector tabs of each stacked unit battery are bundled for each positive electrode tab and negative electrode tab, thereby reducing the space occupied by the current collector tabs and increasing the volumetric energy of the entire battery. However, when the current collector tabs of the positive electrode current collector layer are folded to bundle them, there is a risk that the current collector tabs of the positive electrode current collector layer may come into electrical contact with the negative electrode current collector layer or the negative electrode active material layer, causing a short circuit.

[0004] In order to prevent such short circuits from occurring, a method for manufacturing a stacked all-solid-state battery is known in which a coating device is used to immerse a desired portion of a unit battery in an insulator coating liquid to form an insulating portion (hereinafter, also referred to as an "electrical insulating layer") (for example, Patent Document 1).

[Diagram 5] FIG. 5 is a side view for explaining the method for manufacturing an all-solid-state battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] (1) A manufacturing method of an all-solid-state battery according to the present disclosure (hereinafter also simply referred to as "the manufacturing method according to the present disclosure") includes preparing an electrode body in which at least a first current collector layer, a first active material layer, a first solid electrolyte layer, and a second active material layer are laminated in this order (hereinafter also referred to as a "preparation step"), and sandwiching at least a part (hereinafter also referred to as a "prescribed portion") of at least one edge of a main surface of the electrode body between a pair of elastic rollers rotating while contacting each other, and forming an electrically insulating layer that covers at least the first current collector layer and the first active material layer on a side surface (hereinafter also referred to as a "formation surface") of a region of the one edge that is sandwiched between the pair of elastic rollers (hereinafter also referred to as a "sandwich region") (hereinafter also referred to as a "forming step").

[0012] The "second active material layer" refers to an active material layer having a polarity (positive or negative) different from that of the first active material layer. The "principal surface" refers to the surface having the largest area, and is usually perpendicular to the stacking direction of the electrode body (hereinafter also referred to as the "stacking direction"). The "edge portion" includes a region near the edge (peripheral end) of the electrode body in a plan view from the stacking direction of the electrode body (hereinafter also simply referred to as the "plan view"), and may or may not include the edge of the electrode body. The "elastic roller" has a core metal and an elastically deformable elastic layer laminated on the outer peripheral surface of the core metal. The hardness of the elastic layer is softer than that of the electrode body, for example, about Shore hardness A5.

[0013] Since the manufacturing method of the present disclosure has the above-mentioned configuration, it can efficiently and stably form an electrical insulation layer for preventing the occurrence of a short circuit between the current collecting tab of one current collector layer and the other current collector layer or active material layer. This effect is believed to be due to, but not limited to, the following reasons. In order to form an electrical insulating layer more efficiently than conventional methods (e.g., Patent Document 1), it is effective to form the electrical insulating layer while transporting the electrode body using a pair of transport rollers. The electrode body usually has undulations in the stacking direction (i.e., thickness direction). The position (hereinafter also referred to as the "forming position") of the device (e.g., application nozzle) that forms the electrical insulating layer is usually fixed. Therefore, in order to stably form the electrical insulating layer, it is necessary to guide the surface to be formed to the forming position so that the position of the surface to be formed does not vary relative to the forming position. However, when the pair of conveying rollers is a pair of metal rollers, the area of ​​the electrode body sandwiched between the pair of metal rollers may not be easily corrected to be flat. This is considered to be due to the first and second factors that the electrode body and the pair of metal rollers are likely to be in line contact with each other. The first factor is that the pair of metal rollers are installed at a predetermined interval to prevent damage to the electrode body. The second factor is that the interval between the pair of metal rollers may change due to the vibration of the rotating metal rollers. In other words, the position of the formation surface is likely to vary with respect to the formation position. As a result, the electrical insulating layer may not be stably formed on the electrode body. On the other hand, in the present disclosure, at least a part of at least one edge of the main surface of the electrode body is sandwiched between a pair of elastic rollers that rotate while in contact with each other. As a result, the electrode body comes into surface contact with the pair of elastic rollers, and the area of ​​the electrode body sandwiched between the pair of elastic rollers is easily corrected to be flat. Therefore, the position of the surface to be formed is less likely to vary relative to the formation position. As a result, it is presumed that the manufacturing method of the present disclosure can efficiently and stably form an electrical insulation layer.

[0014] The all-solid-state battery obtained by the manufacturing method of the present disclosure is a laminated type. The all-solid-state battery has at least one unit all-solid-state battery. The unit all-solid-state battery is formed by laminating a positive electrode active material layer, a solid electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode active material layer in this order. A positive electrode current collector layer having a current collector tab may be laminated on the positive electrode active material layer, and a negative electrode current collector layer having a current collector tab may be laminated on the negative electrode active material layer. In the present disclosure, an electrical insulating layer is formed on the side surface of at least one edge of the main surface of the electrode body, thereby preventing the occurrence of a short circuit.

[0015] (1.1) Preparation process In the preparation step, an electrode assembly is prepared. The first current collector layer, the first active material layer, the first solid electrolyte layer, and the second active material layer included in the electrode assembly will be described later.

[0016] The method for preparing the electrode body may be a known manufacturing method for the electrode body (for example, a wet-on-dry manufacturing method, a wet-on-wet manufacturing method, a lamination press manufacturing method, etc.). Patent Document 1 can be referred to for the method for preparing the electrode body.

[0017] The first current collector layer may or may not have a first current collector tab. When the first current collector layer does not have a first current collector tab, the manufacturing method of the present disclosure may include a first bonding step after the forming step. In the first bonding step, the first current collector tab is bonded to the first current collector layer. The bonding method may be any known method, such as laser welding.

[0018] The electrode body may have a second current collector layer laminated on the second active material layer, or may not have a second current collector layer laminated thereon. When the electrode body has a second current collector layer, the second current collector layer may have a second current collector tab, or may not have a second current collector layer. When the second current collector layer does not have a second current collector tab, the manufacturing method of the present disclosure may have a second bonding step after the forming step. In the second bonding step, the second current collector tab is bonded to the second current collector layer. The bonding method is the same as the method exemplified as the bonding method of the first bonding step.

[0019] The electrode body may have a configuration in which a third active material layer, a second solid electrolyte layer, a fourth active material layer, a first current collector layer, a first active material layer, a first solid electrolyte layer, and a second active material layer are laminated in this order (hereinafter also referred to as a "double-sided configuration"). The polarity of the third active material layer is the same as the polarity of the second active material layer. The configuration of the third active material layer may be the same as or different from the configuration of the second active material layer. The polarity of the fourth active material layer is the same as the polarity of the first active material layer. The configuration of the fourth active material layer may be the same as or different from the configuration of the first active material layer. The configuration of the second solid electrolyte layer may be the same as or different from the configuration of the first solid electrolyte layer.

[0020] (1.2) Formation process In the forming process, a predetermined portion of the electrode body is sandwiched between a pair of elastic rollers, and an electrical insulating layer is formed on the side surface of the sandwich region of the electrode body. As a result, even if the electrode body has undulations in the stacking direction, the sandwich region of the electrode body is corrected to be flat. In other words, the surface to be formed is likely to be flat in the transport direction of the electrode body. As a result, the electrical insulating layer is stably formed on the desired surface to be formed.

[0021] The pair of elastic rollers need only sandwich a predetermined portion, and may sandwich the entire main surface of the electrode body or an entire edge portion of the main surface of the electrode body depending on the size of the elastic rollers, etc. Examples of the material of the elastic layer of each of the pair of elastic rollers include polyurethane rubber, etc.

[0022] The electrical insulation layer needs to cover at least the first current collector layer and the first active material layer, and may cover the first current collector layer, the first active material layer, the first solid electrolyte layer, and the second active material layer. When the electrode body has a double-sided configuration, the electrical insulation layer needs to cover the fourth active material layer, the first current collector layer, and the first active material layer, and may cover the third active material layer, the second solid electrolyte layer, the fourth active material layer, the first current collector layer, the first active material layer, the first solid electrolyte layer, and the second active material layer. The electrical insulation layer needs to be formed on at least a part of the side surface of one edge of the main surface of the electrode body, and may be formed on the entire side surface of one edge of the main surface of the electrode body.

[0023] The method for forming the electrical insulating layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include the first method, the second method, and the like. The first method includes applying a photocurable resin composition that covers at least the first current collector layer and the first active material layer to the side surface to form a photocurable coating film (hereinafter also referred to as the "application step"); and irradiating the photocurable coating film with light to form the electrical insulation layer (hereinafter also referred to as the "light irradiation step"). The second method includes applying a known electrically insulating composition that covers at least the first current collector layer and the first active material layer to form an electrically insulating coating film, and drying the electrically insulating coating film to form the insulating layer.

[0024] Among them, the method for forming the electrical insulating layer is preferably the first method. This allows the electrical insulating layer to be formed more stably at the desired position. The photocurable resin composition contains, for example, a compound having a plurality of photopolymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds (e.g., (meth)acrylic resin composition, epoxy resin composition, fluorine resin composition, olefin resin composition, etc.), and may contain a photopolymerization initiator (e.g., benzophenone-based, anthraquinone-based, benzoyl-based, sulfonium salt, diazonium salt, onium salt, etc.) as necessary. The method for applying the photocurable resin composition is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method using a dispenser, a method using an inkjet device, and a spray application method. The light for light irradiation may be active energy rays (e.g., visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, electron beams, etc.), and is appropriately selected according to the type of the photocurable resin composition, etc. Examples of light sources include metal halide lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, xenon lamps, halogen lamps, pulsed xenon lamps, black lights (wavelength: approximately 365 nm), ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (hereinafter also referred to as "UV-LEDs") (wavelength: approximately 375 nm), light-emitting diode lamps (wavelength: approximately 405 nm), etc.

[0025] (1.3) Attachment process The manufacturing method of the present disclosure includes laminating a second current collector layer on the second active material layer after forming the electrical insulation layer (hereinafter also referred to as the "attaching step"), and the second current collector layer preferably has a current collector tab extending from the one edge portion to the side of the electrode body, which allows the electrical insulation layer to be formed on the electrode body more efficiently. The method for laminating the second current collector layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method using a known adhesive (for example, a hot melt adhesive).

[0026] When the manufacturing method of the present disclosure includes a bonding step, the electrical insulation layer is preferably formed at least in a region of the side surface corresponding to the position of the current collecting tab. The "position of the current collecting tab" refers to a region at the base of the part of the current collecting tab that extends to the side of the electrode body in a plan view. This allows the occurrence of a short circuit to be efficiently prevented in the obtained all-solid-state battery. From the viewpoint of more reliably preventing the occurrence of a short circuit, the electrical insulation layer is preferably formed on the entire side surface of one edge portion of the main surface of the electrode body.

[0027] (1.4) Lamination process The manufacturing method of the present disclosure may include stacking a plurality of electrode bodies in a stacking direction of the electrode bodies (hereinafter, also referred to as a "stacking step"). This results in an all-solid-state battery having a plurality of unit all-solid-state batteries. The method for stacking the electrode bodies may be a known method (for example, a method of applying pressure to the electrode bodies while heating them, etc.).

[0028] (1.5) Each layer of the electrode body When the first current collector layer is a negative electrode current collector layer, the first active material layer is a negative electrode active material layer, the second active material layer is a positive electrode active material layer, and the second current collector layer is a positive electrode current collector layer. When the electrode body has a double-sided structure and the first current collector layer is a negative electrode current collector layer, the third active material layer is a positive electrode active material layer, and the fourth active material layer is a negative electrode active material layer. When the first current collector layer is a positive electrode current collector layer, the first active material layer is a positive electrode active material layer, the second active material layer is a negative electrode active material layer, and the second current collector layer is a negative electrode current collector layer. When the electrode body has a double-sided structure and the first current collector layer is a positive electrode current collector layer, the third active material layer is a negative electrode active material layer, and the fourth active material layer is a positive electrode active material layer.

[0029] (1.5.1) Current collector layer Examples of materials constituting the positive electrode current collector layer include stainless steel (SUS), Ni, Cr, Au, Pt, Al, Fe, Ti, Zn, etc. Examples of materials constituting the negative electrode current collector layer include SUS, Cu, Ni, Fe, Ti, Co, Zn, etc.

[0030] (1.5.2) Positive electrode active material layer The positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, and may further include a solid electrolyte, a binder, and a conductive material. The positive electrode active material may be a known positive electrode active material (e.g., lithium cobalt oxide, etc.). The solid electrolyte may be a known solid electrolyte (e.g., a sulfide-based solid electrolyte, etc.). The binder may be a known binder (e.g., polyvinylidene fluoride, etc.). The conductive material may be a known conductive material (e.g., carbon nanofiber, etc.).

[0031] (1.5.3) Negative electrode active material layer The negative electrode active material layer includes a negative electrode active material, and may further include a solid electrolyte, a binder, and a conductive material. The negative electrode active material may be a known negative electrode active material (e.g., graphite, etc.). The solid electrolyte and the binder may be appropriately selected from the materials described above as being usable in the positive electrode active material layer. The conductive material may be a known conductive material (e.g., acetylene black, etc.).

[0032] (1.5.4) Solid electrolyte layer The solid electrolyte layer includes a solid electrolyte and may further include a binder. As the solid electrolyte, the above-mentioned materials that can be used in the positive electrode active material layer can be used. The binder may be a known binder (e.g., butadiene rubber, etc.).

[0033] (2) Implementation form Hereinafter, a manufacturing method of an all-solid-state battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 5. In Fig. 3 to Fig. 5, the symbol "D1" indicates the transport direction of the electrode body 11 sandwiched between a pair of elastic rollers 910. The symbol "D2" indicates the rotation direction of the first elastic roller 911. The symbol "D3" indicates the rotation direction of the second elastic roller 912.

[0034] The manufacturing method of the all-solid-state battery according to the embodiment includes a preparation step, a formation step, a bonding step, and a lamination step. The preparation step, the formation step, the bonding step, and the lamination step are performed in this order. As a result, the all-solid-state battery 2 is obtained.

[0035] (2.1) All-solid-state battery As shown in Fig. 1, the all-solid-state battery 2 is formed by stacking a plurality of unit all-solid-state batteries 1. The unit all-solid-state battery 1 includes an electrode body 10 with an electrical insulation layer, and a positive electrode current collector layer 20 stacked on the electrode body 10 with an electrical insulation layer. The electrode body 10 with an electrical insulation layer has a negative electrode current collector tab 10T. The positive electrode current collector layer 20 has a positive electrode current collector tab 20T. The shape of the unit all-solid-state battery 1 is rectangular in a plan view.

[0036] The side of the positive electrode current collector tab 20T in the longitudinal direction of the unit all-solid-state battery 1 is defined as the X-axis positive direction, and the opposite side is defined as the X-axis negative direction. The side of the positive electrode current collector tab 20T in the lateral direction of the unit all-solid-state battery 1 is defined as the Y-axis positive direction, and the opposite side is defined as the Y-axis negative direction. One side of the thickness direction of the unit all-solid-state battery 1 is defined as the Z-axis positive direction, and the opposite side is defined as the Z-axis negative direction.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 2, the electrode body 10 with an electrical insulating layer has an electrode body 11 and an electrical insulating layer 12C. The electrical insulating layer 12C is formed on the entire surface of one side surface of the electrode body 11 (i.e., the side surface on the positive side of the X-axis). The thickness (length in the X-direction) of the electrical insulating layer 12C is, for example, 5 µm to 95 µm. The length (length in the Y-direction) of the electrical insulating layer 12C is, for example, 65.2 mm to 69.2 mm. The width (length in the Z-direction) of the electrical insulating layer 12C is, for example, 140 µm or less. The electrode body 11 is formed by stacking a positive electrode active material layer 114, a solid electrolyte layer 113, a negative electrode active material layer 112, a negative electrode current collector layer 111, a negative electrode active material layer 112, a solid electrolyte layer 113, and a positive electrode active material layer 114 in this order along the Y direction.

[0038] (2.2) Preparation process In the preparation step, the electrode body 11 is prepared. The method for preparing the electrode body 11 may be any known method for manufacturing an electrode body.

[0039] (2.3) Formation process In the forming step, a predetermined portion of the electrode body 11 is sandwiched between a pair of elastic rollers 910, and an electrical insulating layer 12C is formed on the side surface S11 of the sandwich region of the electrode body 11.

[0040] The forming step is performed using an electrical insulation layer forming apparatus shown in Figures 3 to 5. The electrical insulation layer forming apparatus includes a pair of elastic rollers 910 (see Figure 5), a drive device (not shown) for the pair of elastic rollers, a dispenser 920, a storage container (not shown), a UV light source 930, and a transfer stage 940. The pair of elastic rollers 910 includes a first elastic roller 911 and a second elastic roller 912. The first elastic roller 911 and the second elastic roller 912 are placed in contact with each other so as to form a pressure contact region R, as shown in FIG. The dispenser 920 is connected to a storage container. The storage container stores a photocurable resin composition and supplies the photocurable resin composition to the dispenser 920. As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 5, the dispenser 920 is disposed on one side of the pair of elastic rollers 910 and at approximately the center of the pressure contact region R in the Y-axis direction. The UV light source 930 is a UV-LED. The UV light source 930 is disposed on one side of the pair of elastic rollers 910 and downstream of the dispenser 920 in the pressure contact region R in the transport direction D1, as shown in FIG. 4, the transport stage 940 is disposed on one side of the pair of elastic rollers 910. The transport stage 940 transports the portion of the electrode body 11 that is not sandwiched between the pair of elastic rollers 910 along the transport direction D1.

[0041] Specifically, a part of one edge E11 (see FIG. 4) of the electrode body 11 is sandwiched between a pair of elastic rollers 910. The part of the one edge E11 of the electrode body 11 sandwiched between the pair of elastic rollers 910 is corrected to be flat in the pressure contact region R. Next, the dispenser 920 ejects droplets D (see FIG. 3) of a photocurable resin composition to form a photocurable coating film 12U (see FIG. 3) on the side surface S11 of the part of the one edge E11. The photocurable coating film 12U indicates an uncured product of the photocurable resin composition. Next, the UV light source 930 irradiates the photocurable coating film 12U with ultraviolet light L (see FIG. 3) to cure the photocurable coating film 12U to form an electrical insulating layer 12C. The electrical insulating layer 12C is a cured product of the photocurable resin composition. In this way, the electrode body 10 with an electrical insulating layer is obtained.

[0042] (2.4) Attachment process In the attachment step, the positive electrode current collector layer 20 is laminated on at least one of the two positive electrode active material layers 114 included in the electrode body 10 with an electrical insulation layer. The method for laminating the positive electrode current collector layer 20 may be a method using a known adhesive.

[0043] (2.5) Lamination process In the stacking step, a plurality of unit all-solid-state batteries 1 are stacked in the stacking direction (i.e., Z direction) of the electrode body 11. This produces an all-solid-state battery 2. The method for stacking the unit all-solid-state batteries 1 may be any known method.

[0044] (2.6) Effects The manufacturing method of the all-solid-state battery according to the embodiment includes preparing an electrode body 11, sandwiching at least a part of one edge E11 of the main surface of the electrode body 11 between a pair of elastic rollers 910, and forming an electrical insulating layer 12C on the side surface S11 of the one edge E11 in the region sandwiched between the pair of elastic rollers 910. As a result, the electrode body 11 comes into surface contact with the pair of elastic rollers 910, and the region of the electrode body 11 sandwiched between the pair of elastic rollers 910 is easily corrected to be flat. Therefore, the position of the formation surface E11 is unlikely to vary with respect to the position of the dispenser 920. As a result, the manufacturing method of the all-solid-state battery according to the embodiment can efficiently and stably form the electrical insulating layer 12C for preventing the occurrence of a short circuit between the positive electrode current collector tab 20T of the positive electrode current collector layer 20 and the negative electrode current collector layer 111 or the negative electrode active material layer 112.
