Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an exterior material for an electricity storage device, a method for producing the same, and an electricity storage device. [Background technology]

[0002] Various types of electricity storage devices have been developed, and in all of them, exterior materials are essential components for sealing electricity storage device elements such as electrodes and electrolytes. Conventionally, metal exterior materials have been widely used as exterior materials for electricity storage devices.

[0003] Meanwhile, in recent years, with the increasing performance of electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, personal computers, cameras, mobile phones, etc., there has been a demand for electricity storage devices to have a variety of shapes as well as to be thinner and lighter in weight. However, the metallic exterior materials for electricity storage devices that have been widely used in the past have the drawbacks of being difficult to keep up with the diversification of shapes and also having limitations on how much they can be made lighter.

[0004] Therefore, a film-like laminate in which a base layer / barrier layer / adhesive layer / thermally adhesive resin layer are laminated in this order has been proposed as an exterior material for an electricity storage device that can be easily processed into a variety of shapes and can be made thinner and lighter (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0005] In such an electrical storage device packaging material, a recess is generally formed by cold forming, and electrical storage device elements such as electrodes and electrolyte are placed in the space formed by the recess, and a heat-sealable resin layer is heat-sealed to obtain an electrical storage device in which the electrical storage device elements are housed inside the electrical storage device packaging material.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-287971 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Electricity storage devices may be exposed to high-temperature environments, for example, at around 60°C, and the packaging materials used for the electricity storage devices are also required to be durable in high-temperature environments. When an electricity storage device is exposed to a high-temperature environment, gas is generated inside the electricity storage device, and the electricity storage device may expand as the internal pressure of the electricity storage device increases. In such cases, if the seal strength between the heat-fusible resin layers of the packaging material for an electricity storage device decreases, problems such as liquid leakage from inside the electricity storage device and a decrease in the insulation properties of the electricity storage device may occur.

[0008] Under these circumstances, the main object of the present disclosure is to provide an exterior packaging material for an electricity storage device that is composed of a laminate having, from the outside, at least a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer, in this order, and that has high sealing strength between the heat-sealable resin layers even when exposed to a high-temperature environment of 60°C. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The inventors of the present disclosure conducted extensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, they found that, in a packaging material for an electricity storage device constituted by a laminate including, in order from the outside, at least a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer, when the heat-sealable resin layers are heat-sealed together under predetermined conditions, the seal strength measured in a 60°C environment is higher than the seal strength measured in a 25°C environment, thereby providing a packaging material for an electricity storage device having a high seal strength between the heat-sealable resin layers even when exposed to a high-temperature environment of 60°C.

[0010] The present disclosure has been completed based on these findings and further investigations. That is, the present disclosure provides the inventions of the following aspects. An exterior packaging material for an electricity storage device, which is composed of a laminate including, in order from the outside, at least a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer, Test piece A, which is 15 mm wide in the TD direction and obtained by heat-fusing the heat-sealed resin layers of the electrical storage device exterior material under conditions of a temperature of 190°C, a surface pressure of 1.0 MPa, and a duration of 3 seconds, is used to peel the heat-sealed portions of the heat-sealed resin layers of test piece A in a 180-degree direction using a tensile tester under conditions of a chuck distance of 50 mm and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min. When the maximum strength (N / 15 mm) when peeled is defined as the seal strength, the seal strength A (60°C) in a 60°C environment is greater than the seal strength A (25°C) in a 25°C environment. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide an electrical storage device packaging material that is composed of a laminate having, from the outside, at least a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer in this order, and that has high sealing strength between the heat-sealable resin layers even when exposed to a high-temperature environment of 60° C. The present disclosure also makes it possible to provide a method for manufacturing an electrical storage device packaging material, and an electrical storage device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The electrical storage device packaging material of the present disclosure is a packaging material for an electrical storage device composed of a laminate including, in order from the outside, at least a base layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer, and is characterized in that test piece A, which is 15 mm wide in the TD direction and obtained by heat-sealing the heat-sealable resin layers of the electrical storage device packaging material to each other at a temperature of 190°C, a surface pressure of 1.0 MPa, and a duration of 3 seconds, is used to peel the heat-sealed portions of the heat-sealable resin layers of test piece A in a 180-degree direction using a tensile tester with a chuck distance of 50 mm and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min, and the maximum strength (N / 15 mm) when this is defined as the seal strength is the seal strength, where A(60°C) in a 60°C environment is greater than A(25°C) in a 25°C environment. By having this configuration, the electrical storage device packaging material of the present disclosure is able to exhibit high seal strength between the heat-sealable resin layers even when exposed to a high-temperature environment of 60°C.

[0014] The exterior packaging material for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure will be described in detail below. In the present disclosure, a numerical range indicated by "to" means "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal to." For example, the notation 2 to 15 mm means 2 mm or more and 15 mm or less. In the numerical ranges described in stages in the present disclosure, the upper or lower limit value described in a certain numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit value of another numerical range described in stages. Separately described upper and lower limits, upper and lower limits, or lower and lower limits may be combined to form a numerical range. In the numerical ranges described in the present disclosure, the upper or lower limit value described in a certain numerical range may be replaced with a value shown in the examples.

[0015] In the packaging material for an electricity storage device, the MD (Machine Direction) and TD (Transverse Direction) of the barrier layer 3 described below can usually be determined during the manufacturing process. For example, when the barrier layer 3 is made of a metal foil such as an aluminum alloy foil or a stainless steel foil, linear streaks known as rolling marks are formed on the surface of the metal foil in the rolling direction (RD) of the metal foil. Since the rolling marks extend along the rolling direction, the rolling direction of the metal foil can be determined by observing the surface of the metal foil. Furthermore, during the manufacturing process of a laminate, the MD of the laminate usually coincides with the RD of the metal foil. Therefore, the MD of the laminate can be identified by observing the surface of the metal foil of the laminate and identifying the rolling direction (RD) of the metal foil. Furthermore, since the TD of the laminate is perpendicular to the MD of the laminate, the TD of the laminate can also be identified.

[0016] Furthermore, when the MD of an electrical storage device packaging material cannot be identified due to rolling marks on a metal foil such as an aluminum alloy foil or a stainless steel foil, it can be identified by the following method. One method for confirming the MD of an electrical storage device packaging material is to observe the cross section of the heat-sealable resin layer of the electrical storage device packaging material using an electron microscope to confirm the sea-island structure. In this method, the direction parallel to the cross section in which the average diameter of the island shapes in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the heat-sealable resin layer is largest can be determined as the MD. Specifically, the cross section in the longitudinal direction of the heat-sealable resin layer and each cross section at an angle of 10 degrees from the direction parallel to the longitudinal cross section up to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal cross section (a total of 10 cross sections) are observed using an electron microscope to confirm the sea-island structure. Next, the shape of each individual island is observed in each cross section. For each island shape, the linear distance connecting the leftmost end in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the heat-sealable resin layer to the rightmost end in the perpendicular direction is defined as the diameter y. For each cross section, the average of the 20 largest diameters y of the island shapes is calculated. The direction parallel to the cross section with the largest average diameter y of the island shapes is determined as MD.

[0017] 1.Layer structure and physical properties of exterior materials for energy storage devices As shown in FIG. 1 , for example, an electrical storage device packaging material 10 according to the present disclosure is composed of a laminate including, in order from the outside, a base material layer 1, a barrier layer 3, and a heat-sealable resin layer 4. In the electrical storage device packaging material 10, the base material layer 1 is the outermost layer, and the heat-sealable resin layer 4 is the innermost layer. When assembling an electrical storage device using the electrical storage device packaging material 10 and an electrical storage device element, the electrical storage device element is housed in a space formed by heat-sealing the peripheral portions of the electrical storage device packaging material 10 with the heat-sealable resin layers 4 of the electrical storage device packaging material 10 facing each other. In the laminate constituting the electrical storage device packaging material 10 according to the present disclosure, with the barrier layer 3 as the reference, the side of the heat-sealable resin layer 4 relative to the barrier layer 3 is on the inner side, and the side of the base material layer 1 relative to the barrier layer 3 is on the outer side.

[0018] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, for example, the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device may have an adhesive layer 2 between the base material layer 1 and the barrier layer 3, if necessary, for the purpose of increasing the adhesion between these layers. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, for example, the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device may have an adhesive layer 5 between the barrier layer 3 and the heat-sealable resin layer 4, if necessary, for the purpose of increasing the adhesion between these layers. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, a surface coating layer 6 or the like may be provided on the outer side of the base material layer 1 (the side opposite to the heat-sealable resin layer 4 side), if necessary.

[0019] The thickness of the laminate constituting the electricity storage device packaging material 10 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of cost reduction, improving energy density, etc., it is, for example, about 210 μm or less, preferably about 190 μm or less, about 180 μm or less, about 155 μm or less, or about 120 μm or less. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of maintaining the function of the electricity storage device packaging material to protect the electricity storage device elements, the thickness of the laminate constituting the electricity storage device packaging material 10 is preferably about 35 μm or more, about 45 μm or more, or about 60 μm or more. Furthermore, preferred ranges for the laminate constituting the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device include, for example, about 35 to 210 μm, about 35 to 190 μm, about 35 to 180 μm, about 35 to 155 μm, about 35 to 120 μm, about 45 to 210 μm, about 45 to 190 μm, about 45 to 180 μm, about 45 to 155 μm, about 45 to 120 μm, about 60 to 210 μm, about 60 to 190 μm, about 60 to 180 μm, about 60 to 155 μm, and about 60 to 120 μm. In particular, a thickness of about 60 to 155 μm is preferred when making the electricity storage device lighter and thinner, and about 155 to 190 μm is preferred when improving formability.

[0020] In the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device, the ratio of the total thickness of the base material layer 1, the adhesive layer 2 (which is provided as needed), the barrier layer 3, the adhesive layer 5 (which is provided as needed), the heat-sealable resin layer 4, and the surface coating layer 6 (which is provided as needed) to the thickness (total thickness) of the laminate constituting the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device is preferably 90% or more, more preferably 95% or more, and even more preferably 98% or more. As a specific example, when the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure includes the base material layer 1, the adhesive layer 2, the barrier layer 3, the adhesive layer 5, and the heat-sealable resin layer 4, the ratio of the total thickness of these layers to the thickness (total thickness) of the laminate constituting the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device is preferably 90% or more, more preferably 95% or more, and even more preferably 98% or more. Furthermore, even when the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure is a laminate including a substrate layer 1, an adhesive layer 2, a barrier layer 3, and a heat-sealable resin layer 4, the ratio of the total thickness of these layers to the thickness (total thickness) of the laminate constituting the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device can be, for example, 80% or more, preferably 90% or more, more preferably 95% or more, and even more preferably 98% or more.

[0021] The sealing strength A (60°C) of the electrical storage device packaging material of the present disclosure in a 60°C environment is greater than the sealing strength A (25°C) in a 25°C environment. That is, a test piece A having a width in the TD direction of 15 mm was obtained by heat-sealing the thermally adhesive resin layers of the electrical storage device packaging material of the present disclosure to each other under conditions of a temperature of 190°C, a surface pressure of 1.0 MPa, and a duration of 3 seconds. Using a tensile tester, the thermally adhesive portions of the thermally adhesive resin layers of test piece A were peeled in a 180-degree direction under conditions of a chuck distance of 50 mm and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min. When this maximum strength (N / 15 mm) was used as the sealing strength, the sealing strength A (60°C) in a 60°C environment was greater than the sealing strength A (25°C) in a 25°C environment. The sealing strengths in the 25°C and 60°C environments were measured as follows.

[0022] <Seal strength measurement> With reference to the JIS K7127:1999 standard, the seal strength of the electrical storage device packaging material at each measurement temperature of 25°C and 60°C was measured as follows. The electrical storage device packaging material was cut into a strip with a width of 15 mm in the TD direction to prepare test piece A. Specifically, as shown in Figure 6, each electrical storage device packaging material was first cut into a 60 mm (TD direction) x 200 mm (MD direction) size (Figure 6a). Next, the electrical storage device packaging material was folded in half in the MD direction at fold line P (midway in the MD direction) so that the heat-sealable resin layers faced each other (Figure 6b). The heat-sealable resin layers were then heat-sealed approximately 10 mm inward from fold line P under the following conditions: a seal width of 7 mm, a temperature of 190°C, a surface pressure of 1.0 MPa, and a duration of 3 seconds (Figure 6c). The shaded area S in Figure 6c indicates the heat-sealed area. Next, the specimen was cut in the MD direction (cut at the position of the two-dot chain line in Figure 6d) so that the width in the TD direction was 15 mm, and a test piece 13 (test piece A) was obtained (Figure 6e). To measure the seal strength in a 25°C environment, the test piece 13 was left at 25°C for 2 minutes, and then the heat-sealable resin layer of the heat-sealed portion was peeled off at a speed of 5 mm / min using a tensile tester (e.g., Shimadzu Corporation's AG-Xplus (trade name)) in a 25°C environment (Figure 7). The test speed of 5 mm / min is slower than typical test speeds. The slow test speed used in this disclosure is intended to simulate a situation in which stress is slowly applied to the exterior material when gas is generated over a long period of time in an actual energy storage device. To measure the seal strength in a 60°C environment, test piece 13 was left at 60°C for 2 minutes, and then the heat-sealable resin layer of the heat-sealed portion was peeled off at a rate of 5 mm / min using a tensile tester (e.g., Shimadzu Corporation's AG-Xplus (trade name)) in the 60°C environment (Figure 7). The maximum strength measured during the tensile test in each temperature environment was taken as the seal strength (N / 15 mm). The distance between the chucks was 50 mm. In measuring the seal strength, the test piece 13 may peel off (break) at the heat-sealed interface A shown in Figure 7, or it may break at a location other than the heat-sealed interface A (e.g., position B in Figure 7). Three measurements were taken for each test piece, and the average value was used.

[0023] To more effectively achieve the effects of the present disclosure, the difference between the seal strength A (60°C) and the seal strength A (25°C) of the packaging material for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure is preferably at least about 20 N / 15 mm, more preferably at least about 25 N / 15 mm, and even more preferably at least about 30 N / 15 mm. The upper limit is, for example, at most about 60 N / 15 mm or at most about 50 N / 15 mm. Preferred ranges include about 20 to 60 N / 15 mm, about 20 to 50 N / 15 mm, about 25 to 60 N / 15 mm, about 25 to 50 N / 15 mm, about 30 to 60 N / 15 mm, and about 30 to 50 N / 15 mm. If the difference is too small, the effects of the present disclosure are not fully achieved, while if the difference is too large, the seal strength A (25°C) value is too small. The difference can be adjusted by adjusting the hardness of the layers positioned outside the barrier layer 3. If the seal strength A is high, the test piece tends to break.

[0024] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of more suitably exerting the effects of the present disclosure, the sealing strength A (60°C) of the packaging material for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure is preferably about 100 N / 15 mm or more, more preferably about 110 N / 15 mm or more, with the upper limit being, for example, about 140 N / 15 mm or less, and preferred ranges include about 100 to 140 N / 15 mm, and about 110 to 140 N / 15 mm. Methods for adjusting the sealing strength A (60°C) include adjusting the thickness and hardness of the substrate layer and barrier layer (crystallinity and crystalline orientation of the substrate layer, material (composition, manufacturing method, etc.) of the barrier layer), etc.

[0025] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of more suitably exerting the effects of the present disclosure, the sealing strength A (25°C) of the packaging material for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure is preferably about 70 N / 15 mm or more, more preferably about 75 N / 15 mm or more, with the upper limit being, for example, about 160 N / 15 mm or less, about 150 N / 15 mm or less, and preferred ranges include about 70 to 160 N / 15 mm, about 70 to 150 N / 15 mm, about 75 to 160 N / 15 mm, and about 75 to 150 N / 15 mm. Methods for adjusting the sealing strength A (25°C) include adjusting the thickness and hardness of the substrate layer and barrier layer (crystallinity and crystalline orientation of the substrate layer, material (composition, manufacturing method, etc.) of the barrier layer), etc.

[0026] Generally, seal strength tends to decrease as temperature increases. This is because, when seal strength is measured in a high-temperature environment, the tensile strength of all constituent materials of the laminate decreases due to heat. On the other hand, if the tensile strength of the barrier layer or the substrate layer is increased and the difference in tensile strength between the laminate consisting of layers located outside the barrier layer, including the barrier layer, and the laminate consisting of layers located inside the barrier layer becomes too large, stress will concentrate in the heat-sealable resin layer, resulting in a decrease in seal strength. In the packaging material for an electricity storage device disclosed herein, means for increasing the seal strength A(60°C) in a 60°C environment to be greater than the seal strength A(25°C) in a 25°C environment include, for example, adjusting the thickness and hardness of the substrate layer and the barrier layer (crystallinity and crystalline orientation of the substrate layer, material (composition, manufacturing method, etc.) of the barrier layer). Furthermore, for example, by adjusting the difference between tensile strength X and tensile strength Y in a 60°C environment (described later) to an appropriate range, the seal strength A(60°C) in a 60°C environment can be increased to be greater than the seal strength A(25°C) in a 25°C environment.

[0027] Furthermore, in the above <Measurement of seal strength>, when the seal strength A(150°C) of the packaging material for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure is measured using a measurement temperature in a 150°C environment instead of the measurement temperatures in a 25°C environment and a 60°C environment, the seal strength A(150°C) may be, or preferably is, smaller than the seal strength A(25°C). Furthermore, in the above <Measurement of seal strength>, when the seal strength A(120°C) of the packaging material for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure is measured using a measurement temperature in a 120°C environment instead of the measurement temperatures in a 25°C environment and a 60°C environment, the seal strength A(120°C) may be smaller than the seal strength A(25°C).

[0028] Furthermore, in the packaging material for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure, a laminate consisting of layers positioned outward from the barrier layer 3, including the barrier layer 3 (for example, a laminate of a base material layer 1, an adhesive layer 2, and a barrier layer 3) is defined as test piece X having a width of 15 mm in the TD direction, and a layer positioned inward from the barrier layer, excluding the barrier layer 3 (such as an adhesive layer 5, which is provided as needed, and a heat-sealable resin layer 4 (for example, a laminate in the case of two or more layers, such as when an adhesive layer and a heat-sealable resin layer 4 are provided)) is defined as test piece Y having a width of 15 mm in the TD direction. From the viewpoint of more suitably exerting the effects of the present disclosure, when tensile tests are performed on each of the test piece X and the test piece Y in accordance with the provisions of JIS K7127:1999 using a tensile testing machine under conditions of a 60°C environment, a gauge length of 30 mm, and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min, it is preferable that the difference between the tensile strength X (60°C) of the test piece X at 7% elongation and the tensile strength Y (60°C) of the test piece Y at 7% elongation is 100 N / 15 mm or less. The difference is preferably about 95 N / 15 mm or less, and preferably about 50 N / 15 mm or more, more preferably about 70 N / 15 mm or more, and even more preferably about 75 N / 15 mm or more, with preferred ranges being about 50 to 100 N / 15 mm, about 70 to 100 N / 15 mm, about 75 to 100 N / 15 mm, about 50 to 95 N / 15 mm, about 70 to 95 N / 15 mm, and about 75 to 95 N / 15 mm. Methods for adjusting the difference include adjusting the thickness and hardness of the substrate layer and barrier layer (crystallinity and crystalline orientation of the substrate layer, material (composition, manufacturing method, etc.) of the barrier layer).

[0029] From the viewpoint of more suitably exerting the effects of the present disclosure, the tensile strength X(60°C) of the test piece X at 7% elongation in a 60°C environment is preferably about 70 N / 15 mm or more, more preferably about 75 N / 15 mm or more, and preferably about 110 N / 15 mm or less, more preferably about 100 N / 15 mm or less, with preferred ranges including about 70 to 110 N / 15 mm, about 70 to 100 N / 15 mm, about 75 to 110 N / 15 mm, and about 75 to 100 N / 15 mm. The tensile strength X(60°C) can be adjusted by adjusting the thickness and hardness of the substrate layer and barrier layer (such as the crystallinity and crystalline orientation of the substrate layer and the material (composition, manufacturing method, etc.) of the barrier layer).

[0030] From the viewpoint of more suitably exerting the effects of the present disclosure, the tensile strength Y(60°C) of test piece Y at 7% elongation in a 60°C environment is preferably about 0.5 N / 15 mm or more and preferably about 10 N / 15 mm or less, and a preferred range is about 0.5 to 10 N / 15 mm. When the crystallinity of test piece Y is increased, the tensile strength Y(60°C) increases.

[0031] In the packaging material for an electricity storage device according to the present disclosure, the tensile strength X(60°C), tensile strength X(25°C), tensile strength Y(60°C), and tensile strength Y(25°C) of test pieces X and Y at 7% elongation in a 60°C environment or a 25°C environment are measured by the following methods, respectively.

[0032] <Measurement of tensile strength> In the electrical storage device packaging material, a laminate consisting of layers positioned outward from the barrier layer 3, including the barrier layer 3, is prepared as test piece X having a width of 15 mm in the TD direction. Each of the thermally adhesive resin layers is also prepared as test piece Y having a width of 15 mm in the TD direction. Next, to measure the tensile strength in a 25°C environment, test piece X and test piece Y are left at 25°C for 2 minutes, and then tensile tests are performed on test piece X and test piece Y in a 25°C environment in accordance with JIS K7127:1999 using a tensile tester (e.g., AG-Xplus (trade name) manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) at a gauge length of 30 mm and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min, to measure the tensile strength X (25°C) of test piece X at 7% elongation and the tensile strength Y (25°C) of test piece Y at 7% elongation. For measuring the tensile strength in a 60°C environment, test piece X and test piece Y were left at 60°C for 2 minutes, and then a tensile test was performed on each of test piece X and test piece Y in accordance with JIS K7127:1999 using a tensile tester (e.g., Shimadzu Corporation's AG-Xplus (trade name)) with a gauge length of 30 mm and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min. The tensile strength X (60°C) at 7% elongation of test piece X and the tensile strength Y (60°C) at 7% elongation of test piece Y were measured. Three measurements were performed for each test piece, and the average values ​​were used. Test piece X may be prepared by laminating an optional surface coating layer 6, a substrate layer 1, an optional adhesive layer 2, a barrier layer 3, etc., or by peeling off a layer (e.g., adhesive layer 5, heat-sealable resin layer 4) located closer to the heat-sealable resin layer 4 than the barrier layer 3 from the packaging material for an electricity storage device 1. Furthermore, in cases where there are multiple layers located inside the barrier layer, excluding the barrier layer, the laminate of these multiple layers is test piece Y. For example, in cases where the packaging material for an electricity storage device is composed of a laminate formed of, in order from the outside, a base material layer, an adhesive layer, a barrier layer, an adhesive layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer, test piece Y is a laminate of the adhesive layer and the heat-sealable resin layer.

[0033] FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a graph (horizontal axis: tensile elongation (%), vertical axis: tensile strength (N / 15 mm)) showing the relationship between tensile strength X (25°C) in a 25°C environment, tensile strength X (60°C) in a 60°C environment, and tensile strength Y (60°C) in a 60°C environment (the dashed-dotted line indicates tensile strength X (25°C) in a 25°C environment, the solid line indicates tensile strength X (60°C) in a 60°C environment, the dashed line indicates tensile strength Y (60°C) in a 60°C environment, and the vertical dotted line indicates the position where the tensile elongation is 7%).

The barrier layer 3 preferably includes a layer composed of a metal material. Specific examples of metal materials constituting the barrier layer 3 include aluminum alloys, stainless steel, titanium steel, and steel plates. When used as a metal foil, the barrier layer 3 preferably includes at least one of aluminum alloy foil and stainless steel foil.

[0068] In the barrier layer 3, the layer made of the aforementioned metal material may contain recycled metal material. Examples of recycled metal material include recycled aluminum alloy, stainless steel, titanium steel, or 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 3 may be made solely of recycled material, or may be made of a mixture of recycled and virgin material. Note that recycled metal material refers to metal material that has been made reusable by collecting, isolating, and refining various products used in the market or waste from manufacturing processes. Furthermore, virgin metal material refers to new metal material refined from natural metal resources (raw materials) and is not recycled material.

[0069] From the viewpoint of improving the formability of the electrical storage device packaging material, the aluminum alloy foil is preferably a soft aluminum alloy foil made of, for example, an annealed aluminum alloy, and from the viewpoint of further improving formability, 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 setting the iron content to 0.1% by mass or more, an electrical storage device packaging material with better formability can be obtained. By setting the iron content to 9.0% by mass or less, an electrical storage device packaging material with better flexibility can be obtained. Examples of soft aluminum alloy foils include aluminum alloy foils having a composition specified in JIS H4160:1994 A8021H-O, JIS H4160:1994 A8079H-O, JIS H4000:2014 A8021P-O, or JIS H4000:2014 A8079P-O.

[0072] In the case of a metal foil, the thickness of the barrier layer 3 needs only to function as a barrier layer that prevents moisture penetration, and can be, for example, about 9 to 200 μm. From the viewpoint of imparting high rigidity to the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device, the thickness of the barrier layer 3 is preferably about 45 μm or more, more preferably about 50 μm or more, and even more preferably about 55 μm or more, and is preferably about 85 μm or less, more preferably 75 μm or less, and even more preferably 70 μm or less, with preferred ranges being about 45 to 85 μm, about 45 to 75 μm, about 45 to 70 μm, about 50 to 85 μm, about 50 to 75 μm, about 50 to 70 μm, about 55 to 85 μm, about 55 to 75 μm, and about 55 to 70 μm. The high formability of the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device facilitates deep drawing, which can contribute to increasing the capacity of the electricity storage device. Furthermore, although increasing the capacity of an electricity storage device increases the weight of the electricity storage device, increasing the rigidity of the exterior packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device contributes to high sealing performance of the electricity storage device. In particular, when the barrier layer 3 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 barrier layer 3 may be provided with a corrosion-resistant coating on both sides. Here, the corrosion-resistant coating refers to a thin film formed on the surface of the barrier layer by, for example, a hydrothermal conversion treatment such as boehmite treatment, a chemical conversion treatment, anodizing treatment, a nickel or chromium plating treatment, or a corrosion prevention treatment such as applying a coating agent, to provide the barrier layer with corrosion resistance (e.g., acid resistance, alkali resistance, etc.). Specifically, the corrosion-resistant coating refers to a coating that improves the acid resistance of the barrier layer (acid-resistant coating) or a coating that improves the alkali resistance of the barrier layer (alkali-resistant coating). The corrosion-resistant coating may be formed by one type of treatment or a combination of two or more types. Furthermore, not only one layer but also multiple layers can be formed. Furthermore, among these treatments, the hydrothermal conversion treatment and anodizing treatment are treatments that dissolve the metal foil surface with a treatment agent to form a metal compound with excellent corrosion resistance. These treatments may be included in the definition of chemical conversion treatment. In addition, when the barrier layer 3 is provided with a corrosion-resistant coating, the barrier layer 3 includes the corrosion-resistant coating.

[0074] The corrosion-resistant coating prevents delamination between the barrier layer (e.g., aluminum alloy foil) and the substrate layer during molding of the exterior packaging material for an electricity storage device, prevents dissolution and corrosion of the barrier layer surface due to hydrogen fluoride produced by the reaction between the electrolyte and water, and in particular prevents dissolution and corrosion of aluminum oxide present on the barrier layer surface when the barrier layer is an aluminum alloy foil, and also improves the adhesion (wettability) of the barrier layer surface, thereby preventing delamination between the substrate layer and the barrier layer during heat sealing and between the substrate layer and the barrier layer during molding.

[0075] Various corrosion-resistant coatings formed by chemical conversion treatments are known, including corrosion-resistant coatings containing at least one of phosphates, chromates, fluorides, triazine thiol compounds, and rare earth oxides. Examples of chemical conversion treatments using phosphates and chromates include chromate chromate treatment, phosphate chromate treatment, phosphate-chromate treatment, and chromate treatment. Examples of chromium compounds used in these treatments include chromium nitrate, chromium fluoride, chromium sulfate, chromium acetate, chromium oxalate, chromium biphosphate, chromate acetylacetate, chromium chloride, and potassium chromium sulfate. Examples of phosphorus compounds used in these treatments include sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, ammonium phosphate, and polyphosphoric acid. Examples of chromate treatments include etching chromate treatment, electrolytic chromate treatment, and paint-on chromate treatment, with paint-on chromate treatment being preferred. This paint-type chromate treatment involves first degreasing at least the inner surface of a barrier layer (e.g., an aluminum alloy foil) using a well-known method such as alkali immersion, electrolytic cleaning, acid pickling, electrolytic pickling, or acid activation, and then coating the degreased surface with a treatment solution primarily composed of a metal phosphate such as Cr (chromium) phosphate, Ti (titanium) phosphate, Zr (zirconium) phosphate, or Zn (zinc) phosphate, or a mixture of these metal salts, or a treatment solution primarily composed of a nonmetallic phosphate and a mixture of these nonmetallic salts, or a mixture of these with a synthetic resin, using a well-known coating method such as roll coating, gravure printing, or immersion, followed by drying. The treatment solution can be, for example, water, alcoholic solvents, hydrocarbon solvents, ketone solvents, ester solvents, or ether solvents, with water being preferred. The resin component used here may be a polymer such as a phenolic resin or an acrylic resin, or may be a chromate treatment using an aminated phenol polymer having repeating units represented by the following general formulas (1) to (4): In the aminated phenol polymer, the repeating units represented by the following general formulas (1) to (4) may be contained alone or in any combination of two or more types.The acrylic resin is preferably polyacrylic acid, an acrylic acid methacrylic acid ester copolymer, an acrylic acid maleic acid copolymer, an acrylic acid styrene copolymer, or a derivative thereof such as a sodium salt, an ammonium salt, or an amine salt. A derivative of polyacrylic acid, such as an ammonium salt, a sodium salt, or an amine salt of polyacrylic acid, is particularly preferred. In the present disclosure, polyacrylic acid refers to a polymer of acrylic acid. The acrylic resin is also preferably a copolymer of acrylic acid and a dicarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid anhydride, or an ammonium salt, a sodium salt, or an amine salt of a copolymer of acrylic acid and a dicarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid anhydride. Only one type of acrylic resin may be used, or two or more types may be mixed and used.

The aminated phenol polymer can be prepared, for example, by polycondensing a phenol compound or a naphthol compound with formaldehyde to produce a polymer comprising repeating units represented by the formula (1) or (3), and then polycondensing the polymer with formaldehyde and an amine (R 1 R 2 NH) to the functional group (-CHNR 1 R 2 The aminated phenol polymers can be used singly or in combination of two or more.

[0081] Another example of a corrosion-resistant coating is a thin film formed by a coating-type corrosion prevention treatment in which a coating agent containing at least one selected from the group consisting of a rare earth element oxide sol, an anionic polymer, and a cationic polymer is applied. The coating agent may further contain phosphoric acid or a phosphate salt, and a crosslinking agent for crosslinking the polymer. The rare earth element oxide sol has rare earth element oxide fine particles (e.g., particles with an average particle size of 100 nm or less) dispersed in a liquid dispersion medium. Examples of rare earth element oxides include cerium oxide, yttrium oxide, neodymium oxide, and lanthanum oxide, with cerium oxide being preferred from the perspective of further improving adhesion. The rare earth element oxide contained in the corrosion-resistant coating can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The liquid dispersion medium for the rare earth element oxide sol can be various solvents such as water, alcohol-based solvents, hydrocarbon-based solvents, ketone-based solvents, ester-based solvents, and ether-based solvents, with water being preferred. Preferred examples of cationic polymers include polyethyleneimine, ionic polymer complexes composed of polyethyleneimine and a polymer having a carboxylic acid, primary amine-grafted acrylic resins in which a primary amine is graft-polymerized onto an acrylic backbone, polyallylamine or its derivatives, and aminated phenols. Preferred anionic polymers are poly(meth)acrylic acid or its salts, or copolymers primarily composed of (meth)acrylic acid or its salts. The crosslinking agent is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of a compound having a functional group selected from an isocyanate group, a glycidyl group, a carboxyl group, and an oxazoline group, and a silane coupling agent. The phosphoric acid or phosphoric acid salt is preferably a condensed phosphoric acid or a condensed phosphate salt.

[0082] An example of a corrosion-resistant coating is one formed by applying a solution of fine particles of metal oxides such as aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, cerium oxide, and tin oxide, or barium sulfate dispersed in phosphoric acid to the surface of a barrier layer and baking the coating at 150°C or higher.

[0083] The corrosion-resistant coating may have a laminated structure, if necessary, by further laminating at least one of a cationic polymer and an anionic polymer, such as those mentioned above.

[0084] The composition of the corrosion-resistant film can be analyzed using, for example, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry.

[0085] The amount of the corrosion-resistant film formed on the surface of the barrier layer 3 in the chemical conversion treatment is not particularly limited. For example, in the case of applying chromate treatment, the amount of the corrosion-resistant film formed on the surface of the barrier layer 3 is 2 It is desirable that the chromate compound is contained in an amount, in terms of chromium, of about 0.5 to 50 mg, preferably about 1.0 to 40 mg, the phosphorus compound in terms of phosphorus, and the aminated phenol polymer in an amount, in terms of phosphorus, of about 1.0 to 200 mg, preferably about 5.0 to 150 mg, per unit area.

[0086] The thickness of the corrosion-resistant coating is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 1 nm to 20 μm, more preferably about 1 nm to 100 nm, and even more preferably about 1 nm to 50 nm, from the viewpoint of the cohesive strength of the coating and the adhesive strength with the barrier layer or the thermally adhesive resin layer. The thickness of the corrosion-resistant coating can be measured by observation with a transmission electron microscope, or by a combination of observation with a transmission electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy or electron energy loss spectroscopy. Analysis of the composition of the corrosion-resistant coating using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry can reveal the thickness of the corrosion-resistant coating, for example, by measuring the thickness of the coating with secondary ions consisting of Ce, P, and O (e.g., Ce2PO4 + , CePO4 - At least one of the following ions may be present: Cr, P, and O secondary ions (e.g., CrPO2 + , CrPO4 - Peaks derived from at least one of the above are detected.

[0087] The chemical conversion treatment is carried out by applying a solution containing a compound used to form a corrosion-resistant coating to the surface of the barrier layer by bar coating, roll coating, gravure coating, immersion, or other methods, and then heating the barrier layer to a temperature of approximately 70 to 200°C. Furthermore, before applying the chemical conversion treatment to the barrier layer, the barrier layer may be subjected to a degreasing treatment using an alkali immersion method, electrolytic cleaning, acid cleaning, electrolytic acid cleaning, or other methods. By performing such a degreasing treatment, the chemical conversion treatment of the surface of the barrier layer can be carried out more efficiently. Furthermore, using an acid degreasing agent prepared by dissolving a fluorine-containing compound in an inorganic acid for the degreasing treatment not only degreases the metal foil but also forms a passive metal fluoride. In such cases, only the degreasing treatment may be performed.

[0088] [Thermal adhesive resin layer 4] In the packaging material for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure, the heat-sealable resin layer 4 corresponds to the innermost layer and is a layer (sealant layer) that exhibits the function of sealing the electricity storage device elements by heat-sealing the heat-sealable resin layers to each other when assembling the electricity storage device.

[0089] The resin constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 4 is not particularly limited as long as it is heat-sealable, but resins containing a polyolefin skeleton, such as polyolefin and acid-modified polyolefin, are preferred. The presence of a polyolefin skeleton in the resin constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 4 can be determined by, for example, infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography mass spectrometry, or the like. Furthermore, when the resin constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 4 is analyzed by infrared spectroscopy, a peak derived from maleic anhydride is preferably detected. For example, when maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin is measured by infrared spectroscopy, a peak derived from maleic anhydride is detected at a wavenumber of 1760 cm. -1 Near and wave number 1780cm -1 A peak derived from maleic anhydride is detected around . When the thermally adhesive resin layer 4 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.

[0090] The thermally adhesive resin layer 4 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.

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.

Furthermore, the thermally adhesive resin layer 4 may be formed of only one layer, or may be formed of two or more layers of the same or different resins.

[0097] When the thermally adhesive resin layer 4 is laminated with the barrier layer 3, the adhesive layer 5, or the like to produce the packaging material 10 for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure, a pre-formed resin film may be used as the thermally adhesive resin layer 4. Alternatively, the thermally adhesive resin that forms the thermally adhesive resin layer 4 may be formed into a film on the surface of the barrier layer 3, the adhesive layer 5, or the like by extrusion molding, coating, or the like, to form the thermally adhesive resin layer 4 from a resin film.

[0098] Furthermore, the thermally adhesive resin layer 4 may contain a lubricant or the like, if necessary.

[0103] The lubricant present on the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 4 may be a lubricant exuded from the resin constituting the heat-sealable resin layer 4, or a lubricant applied to the surface of the heat-sealable resin layer 4.

[0104] The thickness of the heat-sealable resin layer 4 is not particularly limited as long as it can heat-seal the heat-sealable resin layers to each other and function to seal the electricity storage device element, but may be, for example, about 100 μm or less, preferably about 85 μm or less, and more preferably about 15 to 85 μm.

[0105] [Adhesive layer 5] In the packaging material for an electricity storage device of the present disclosure, the adhesive layer 5 is a layer that is provided as needed between the barrier layer 3 (or corrosion-resistant film) and the heat-sealable resin layer 4 in order to firmly bond them together.

[0106] The adhesive layer 5 is formed of a resin capable of bonding the barrier layer 3 and the heat-sealable resin layer 4. As the resin used to form the adhesive layer 5, for example, the same adhesives as those exemplified for the adhesive layer 2 can be used.

[0107] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of firmly adhering the adhesive layer 5 and the heat-sealable resin layer 4, the resin used to form the adhesive layer 5 preferably contains a polyolefin skeleton, and examples thereof include the polyolefins, acid-modified polyolefins, cyclic polyolefins, and acid-modified cyclic polyolefins exemplified for the heat-sealable resin layer 4 described above. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of firmly adhering the barrier layer 3 and the adhesive layer 5, the adhesive layer 5 preferably contains an acid-modified polyolefin. Examples of acid-modified components include dicarboxylic acids such as maleic acid, itaconic acid, succinic acid, and adipic acid, as well as their anhydrides, acrylic acid, and methacrylic acid. However, from the viewpoint of ease of modification and versatility, maleic anhydride is most preferred. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of the heat resistance of the electrical storage device exterior material, the olefin component is preferably a polypropylene-based resin, and the adhesive layer 5 most preferably contains maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene.

[0108] When the resin used to form the adhesive layer 5 contains a polyolefin skeleton, the adhesive layer 5 preferably contains a resin containing a polyolefin skeleton as a main component, more preferably an acid-modified polyolefin as a main component, and even more preferably an acid-modified polypropylene as a main component.

For example, when the adhesive layer 5 contains acid-modified polypropylene as a main component, it means that the acid-modified polypropylene content of the resin components contained in the adhesive layer 5 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.

[0109] The presence of a polyolefin skeleton in the resin constituting the adhesive layer 5 can be determined by, for example, infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography mass spectrometry, or the like, and the analysis method is not particularly limited. Furthermore, the presence of an acid-modified polyolefin in the resin constituting the adhesive layer 5 can be determined by, for example, measuring a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin by infrared spectroscopy, and finding a peak at a wave number of 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.

[0110] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of ensuring durability such as heat resistance and resistance to contents of the packaging material for an electricity storage device, and of ensuring moldability while reducing the thickness, the adhesive layer 5 is more preferably a cured product of a resin composition containing an acid-modified polyolefin and a curing agent. Preferred examples of the acid-modified polyolefin include those mentioned above.

[0111] The adhesive layer 5 is preferably a cured product of a resin composition containing an acid-modified polyolefin and at least one selected from the group consisting of a compound having an isocyanate group, a compound having an oxazoline group, and a compound having an epoxy group. It is particularly preferably a cured product of a resin composition containing an acid-modified polyolefin and at least one selected from the group consisting of a compound having an isocyanate group and a compound having an epoxy group. The adhesive layer 5 preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, polyester, and epoxy resin, and more preferably contains polyurethane and epoxy resin. Examples of polyesters include ester resins formed by the reaction of epoxy groups with maleic anhydride groups, and amide ester resins formed by the reaction of oxazoline groups with maleic anhydride groups. If unreacted components of a curing agent such as a compound having an isocyanate group, a compound having an oxazoline group, or an epoxy resin remain in the adhesive layer 5, the presence of the unreacted components can be confirmed by a method selected from the group consisting of infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), and the like.

[0112] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of further enhancing the adhesion between the barrier layer 3 and the adhesive layer 5, the adhesive layer 5 is preferably a cured product of a resin composition containing a curing agent having at least one selected from the group consisting of an oxygen atom, a heterocycle, a C═N bond, and a COC bond. Examples of curing agents having a heterocycle include curing agents having an oxazoline group and curing agents having an epoxy group. Examples of curing agents having a C═N bond include curing agents having an oxazoline group and curing agents having an isocyanate group. Examples of curing agents having a COC bond include curing agents having an oxazoline group and curing agents having an epoxy group. Whether the adhesive layer 5 is a cured product of a resin composition containing such a curing agent can be confirmed by, for example, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS), infrared spectroscopy (IR), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), or other methods.

[0113] The compound having an isocyanate group is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of effectively improving the adhesion between the barrier layer 3 and the adhesive layer 5, a polyfunctional isocyanate compound is preferably used. The polyfunctional isocyanate compound is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound having two or more isocyanate groups.

This can effectively improve the adhesion between the barrier layer 3 and the adhesive layer 5.

[0115] The compound having an oxazoline group is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound having an oxazoline skeleton. Specific examples of the compound having an oxazoline group include those having a polystyrene main chain and those having an acrylic main chain. Examples of commercially available products include the Epocross series manufactured by Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd.

[0116] The proportion of the compound having an oxazoline group in the adhesive layer 5 is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 50 mass %, and more preferably in the range of 0.5 to 40 mass %, in the resin composition constituting the adhesive layer 5. This can effectively improve the adhesion between the barrier layer 3 and the adhesive layer 5.

[0117] An example of a compound having an epoxy group is an epoxy resin.

[0121] The proportion of polyurethane in adhesive layer 5 is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 50 mass %, and more preferably in the range of 0.5 to 40 mass %, of the resin composition constituting adhesive layer 5. This effectively improves the adhesion between barrier layer 3 and adhesive layer 5 in an atmosphere containing components that induce corrosion of the barrier layer, such as an electrolyte solution.

[0122] In addition, when the adhesive layer 5 is a cured product of a resin composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of a compound having an isocyanate group, a compound having an oxazoline group, and an epoxy resin, and the acid-modified polyolefin, the acid-modified polyolefin functions as the main agent, and the compound having an isocyanate group, the compound having an oxazoline group, and the compound having an epoxy group each function as a curing agent.

More specifically, in the case of adhesives such as those exemplified for the adhesive layer 2 or a cured product of an acid-modified polyolefin and a curing agent, the thickness is preferably about 1 to 10 μm, and more preferably about 1 to 5 μm. Furthermore, when a resin exemplified for the heat-fusible resin layer 4 is used, the thickness is preferably about 2 to 50 μm, more preferably about 10 to 40 μm. When the adhesive layer 5 is an adhesive exemplified for the adhesive layer 2 or a cured product of a resin composition containing an acid-modified polyolefin and a curing agent, the adhesive layer 5 can be formed, for example, by applying the resin composition and curing it by heating or the like.

[0138] 3. Manufacturing method for exterior materials for power storage devices The method for producing an electrical storage device packaging material is not particularly limited as long as it can produce a laminate in which the layers of the electrical storage device packaging material of the present disclosure are laminated, and examples include a method comprising a step of laminating at least the base material layer 1, the barrier layer 3, and the heat-sealable resin layer 4 in this order. In the method for producing an electrical storage device packaging material of the present disclosure, test piece A having a width of 15 mm in the TD direction is obtained by heat-sealing the heat-sealable resin layers of the electrical storage device packaging material at a temperature of 190°C, a surface pressure of 1.0 MPa, and a time of 3 seconds. When the maximum strength (N / 15 mm) when the heat-sealed portions of the heat-sealable resin layers of test piece A are peeled in a 180-degree direction using a tensile tester under conditions of a chuck distance of 50 mm and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min is defined as the seal strength, the seal strength A (60°C) in a 60°C environment is greater than the seal strength A (25°C) in a 25°C environment.

[0139] An example of a method for manufacturing an exterior material for an electricity storage device according to the present disclosure is as follows: First, a laminate (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "laminate A") is formed in which a base layer 1, an adhesive layer 2, and a barrier layer 3 are laminated in this order. Specifically, laminate A can be formed by a dry lamination method in which an adhesive used to form adhesive layer 2 is applied to base layer 1 or to barrier layer 3, the surface of which has been chemically treated as necessary, by a coating method such as gravure coating or roll coating, and then dried, followed by laminating the barrier layer 3 or base layer 1 and curing the adhesive layer 2.

[0140] Next, a heat-sealable resin layer 4 is laminated on the barrier layer 3 of the laminate A. When the heat-sealable resin layer 4 is laminated directly on the barrier layer 3, the heat-sealable resin layer 4 may be laminated on the barrier layer 3 of the laminate A by a method such as thermal lamination or extrusion lamination. When an adhesive layer 5 is provided between the barrier layer 3 and the heat-sealable resin layer 4, the adhesive layer 5 and the heat-sealable resin layer 4 may be laminated by, for example, (1) extrusion lamination, (2) thermal lamination, (3) sandwich lamination, or (4) dry lamination. Examples of the (1) extrusion lamination method include a method of laminating the adhesive layer 5 and the heat-sealable resin layer 4 on the barrier layer 3 of the laminate A by extrusion (co-extrusion lamination, tandem lamination), etc. Examples of the (2) thermal lamination method include a method in which a laminate having an adhesive layer 5 and a heat-sealable resin layer 4 laminated thereon is separately formed, and then laminating this on the barrier layer 3 of the laminate A, or a method in which a laminate having an adhesive layer 5 laminated on the barrier layer 3 of the laminate A is formed, and then laminating this on the heat-sealable resin layer 4. Examples of the (3) sandwich lamination method include a method in which a molten adhesive layer 5 is poured between the barrier layer 3 of the laminate A and the heat-sealable resin layer 4 previously formed into a sheet, and then the laminate A and the heat-sealable resin layer 4 are bonded together via the adhesive layer 5. Examples of the (4) dry lamination method include a method in which an adhesive for forming the adhesive layer 5 is solution-coated on the barrier layer 3 of the laminate A, and then laminated by drying or baking, and then the heat-sealable resin layer 4 previously formed into a sheet is laminated on the adhesive layer 5.

[0141] When the surface coating layer 6 is provided, the surface coating layer 6 is laminated on the surface of the base material layer 1 opposite to the barrier layer 3. The surface coating layer 6 can be formed, for example, by applying the above-mentioned resin for forming the surface coating layer 6 to the surface of the base material layer 1. The order of the step of laminating the barrier layer 3 on the surface of the base material layer 1 and the step of laminating the surface coating layer 6 on the surface of the base material layer 1 is not particularly limited. For example, after the surface coating layer 6 is formed on the surface of the base material layer 1, the barrier layer 3 may be formed on the surface of the base material layer 1 opposite to the surface coating layer 6.

[0142] As described above, a laminate is formed which includes the optional surface coating layer 6 / substrate layer 1 / optional adhesive layer 2 / barrier layer 3 / optional adhesive layer 5 / thermally adhesive resin layer 4 in this order, and in order to strengthen the adhesion of the optional adhesive layer 2 and adhesive layer 5, the laminate may be further subjected to a heat treatment.

[0143] In the packaging material for an electricity storage device, each layer constituting the laminate may be subjected to a surface activation treatment such as corona treatment, blast treatment, oxidation treatment, ozone treatment, etc., as needed to improve processability. For example, by subjecting the surface of the base layer 1 opposite to the barrier layer 3 to corona treatment, the printability of ink on the surface of the base layer 1 can be improved.

[0144] 4. Applications of exterior materials for energy storage devices The exterior packaging material for an electricity storage device according to the present disclosure is used in a package for hermetically housing an electricity storage device element such as a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, etc. That is, an electricity storage device can be formed by housing an electricity storage device element including at least a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte in a package formed from the exterior packaging material for an electricity storage device according to the present disclosure.

[0145] Specifically, an electricity storage device using the electricity storage device packaging material is provided by covering an electricity storage device element having at least a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte with the electricity storage device packaging material of the present disclosure in a state in which metal terminals connected to each of the positive electrode and the negative electrode protrude outward, so that a flange portion (a region where the heat-sealable resin layers contact each other) can be formed around the periphery of the electricity storage device element, and heat-sealing the heat-sealable resin layers of the flange portion to form a hermetic seal. Note that when an electricity storage device element is housed in a package formed from the electricity storage device packaging material of the present disclosure, the package is formed so that the heat-sealable resin portion of the electricity storage device packaging material of the present disclosure faces inside (the surface in contact with the electricity storage device element). A package may be formed by overlapping two electrical storage device exterior materials with the heat-sealable resin layers facing each other and heat-sealing the peripheral edges of the overlapped electrical storage device exterior materials. Alternatively, as shown in the example of FIG. 5, one electrical storage device exterior material may be folded over and overlapped, and the peripheral edges may be heat-sealed to form a package. When folding and overlapping, as shown in the example of FIG. 5, the edges other than the folded edge may be heat-sealed to form a three-sided package, or the material may be folded over to form a flange and sealed on all four sides. Alternatively, the electrical storage device exterior material may be wrapped around an electrical storage device element, the heat-sealable resin layers may be sealed together to form a heat-sealed portion, and a lid or the like may be placed to close the openings at both ends, and the lid may be heat-sealed to the electrical storage device exterior material wrapped around the electrical storage device element to seal it. The lid may be formed, for example, from a resin molded product, a metal molded product, an electrical storage device exterior material, or the like. Furthermore, a recess for accommodating an electricity storage device element may be formed in the electrical storage device packaging material by deep drawing or stretch forming. As shown in the example in Fig. 5, a recess may be provided in one electrical storage device packaging material and no recess may be provided in the other electrical storage device packaging material, or a recess may also be provided in the other electrical storage device packaging material.

[0146] The exterior material for an electricity storage device according to the present disclosure can be suitably used in electricity storage devices such as batteries (including condensers, capacitors, etc.). The exterior material for an electricity storage device according to the present disclosure may be used in either primary or secondary batteries, but is preferably used in secondary batteries.

[0156] <Seal strength measurement> With reference to the JIS K7127:1999 standard, the seal strength of the electrical storage device packaging materials was measured at 25°C and 60°C. Test pieces A were prepared by cutting the electrical storage device packaging materials into strips with a width of 15 mm in the TD direction. Specifically, as shown in Figure 6, each electrical storage device packaging material was first cut into a 60 mm (TD direction) x 200 mm (MD direction) size (Figure 6a). Next, the electrical storage device packaging materials were folded in half in the MD direction at fold line P (the middle in the MD direction) so that the heat-sealable resin layers faced each other (Figure 6b). The heat-sealable resin layers were heat-sealed approximately 10 mm inward from fold line P under conditions of a seal width of 7 mm, a temperature of 190°C, a surface pressure of 1.0 MPa, and a duration of 3 seconds (Figure 6c). The shaded area S in Figure 6c indicates the heat-sealed area. Next, the specimen was cut in the MD (cut at the position of the two-dot chain line in Figure 6d) to a width of 15 mm in the TD direction to obtain test piece 13 (test piece A) (Figure 6e). To measure the seal strength in a 25°C environment, test piece 13 was left at 25°C for 2 minutes, and then the heat-sealable resin layer of the heat-sealed portion was peeled off at a rate of 5 mm / min using a tensile tester (AG-Xplus (product name) manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) in the 25°C environment (Figure 7). To measure the seal strength in a 60°C environment, test piece 13 was left at 60°C for 2 minutes, and then the heat-sealable resin layer of the heat-sealed portion was peeled off at a rate of 5 mm / min using a tensile tester (AG-Xplus (product name) manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) in the 60°C environment (Figure 7). The maximum strength at the time of peeling in the tensile test in each temperature environment was recorded as the seal strength (N / 15 mm). The chuck distance was 50 mm. In measuring the seal strength, the test piece 13 may peel (break) at the heat seal interface A shown in Figure 7, or may break at a location other than the heat seal interface A (for example, position B in Figure 7). Three measurements were taken for each test piece, and the average value was used. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0157] <Measurement of tensile strength> In the packaging materials for electricity storage devices of the Examples and Comparative Examples, a laminate consisting of layers positioned outward from the barrier layer, including the barrier layer (i.e., a laminate in which the base layer, adhesive layer, and barrier layer are laminated in this order), was prepared as test piece X having a width of 15 mm in the TD direction. In addition, a layer positioned inward from the barrier layer 3, excluding the barrier layer 3 (i.e., a laminate of the adhesive layer and the heat-sealable resin layer 4), was also prepared as test piece Y having a width of 15 mm in the TD direction. Next, for the measurement of tensile strength in a 25°C environment, test piece X and test piece Y were left at 25°C for 2 minutes, and then tensile tests were performed on test piece X and test piece Y in a 25°C environment in accordance with the provisions of JIS K7127:1999 using a tensile testing machine (AG-Xplus (trade name) manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) under conditions of a gauge length of 30 mm and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min, and the tensile strength X (25°C) of test piece X at 7% elongation and the tensile strength Y (25°C) of test piece Y at 7% elongation were measured. For the measurement of tensile strength at 60°C, test pieces X and Y were left at 60°C for 2 minutes. Tensile tests were then performed on each test piece in accordance with JIS K7127:1999 using a tensile testing machine (Shimadzu Corporation, AG-Xplus (product name)) with a gauge length of 30 mm and a pulling rate of 5 mm / min. The tensile strength X (60°C) at 7% elongation for test piece X and the tensile strength Y (60°C) at 7% elongation for test piece Y were measured. Three measurements were performed on each test piece, and the average values ​​were used. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0158] The method for preparing test piece X from the laminate serving as an electrical storage device exterior material is to manually peel off the "laminate consisting of layers positioned outside the barrier layer, including the barrier layer" and the "layers positioned inside the barrier layer" from the laminate. The method for preparing test piece Y from the laminate serving as an electrical storage device exterior material is to remove the "laminate consisting of layers positioned outside the barrier layer, including the barrier layer" from the laminate by dissolving the barrier layer with hydrochloric acid, thereby preparing test piece Y. It was confirmed that there was almost no difference in the value of tensile strength X at 7% elongation between the case where the "laminate consisting of layers positioned outside the barrier layer, including the barrier layer" without any layers positioned inside the barrier layer was measured, and the case where test piece X obtained from the laminate serving as an electrical storage device exterior material was measured. Therefore, if test piece X cannot be prepared from the laminate serving as an electrical storage device exterior material because it cannot be peeled off by hand, the "laminate consisting of layers positioned outside the barrier layer, including the barrier layer" before it became the laminate may be measured. Similarly, for test piece Y, it was confirmed that there was almost no difference in the value of tensile strength Y at 7% elongation between the case where the measurement object was the "layer located inside the barrier layer" that was not laminated with the "laminate consisting of layers located outside the barrier layer, including the barrier layer," and the case where the measurement object was test piece Y obtained from the laminate that is the above-mentioned electrical storage device packaging material. Therefore, if test piece Y cannot be prepared from the laminate because the barrier layer cannot be dissolved with hydrochloric acid, the measurement object may be the "layer located inside the barrier layer" before it becomes the laminate.

[0159] [Table 1]

[0160] As shown in Table 1, the electrical storage device packaging material of Example 1-2 has a higher seal strength A(60°C) in a 60°C environment than the seal strength A(25°C) in a 25°C environment. The electrical storage device packaging material of Example 1-2 has a high seal strength between the heat-sealable resin layers even when exposed to a high-temperature environment of 60°C. The seal strength A(60°C) in a 60°C environment of Examples 1 and 2 is a value at which the test piece broke due to excessive peel strength. The environmental seal strength A(25°C) at 25°C of Examples 1 and 2, and the seal strength A(25°C) and seal strength A(60°C) in a 25°C environment and 60°C environment of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are values ​​at which the test piece peeled at the heat seal interface, respectively.

[0161] As described above, in the packaging material for an electricity storage device according to the present disclosure, means for increasing the seal strength A(60°C) in a 60°C environment compared to the seal strength A(25°C) in a 25°C environment include, for example, adjusting the thickness and hardness (crystallinity and crystalline orientation of the substrate layer, material (composition, manufacturing method, etc.) of the barrier layer) of the substrate layer and the barrier layer. Furthermore, for example, by increasing the difference between the tensile strength X and the tensile strength Y in a 60°C environment, the seal strength A(60°C) in a 60°C environment tends to be greater than the seal strength A(25°C) in a 25°C environment. In Examples 1 and 2, the seal strength A(60°C) was increased by appropriately reducing the difference between the tensile strength X and the tensile strength Y while adjusting the tensile strength X(60°C) so that it did not become too low. Furthermore, in Examples 1 and 2, the tensile strength X(60°C) was adjusted by increasing the hardness using an oriented nylon (ONy) film with a small difference in MD and TD crystal orientation.

[0162] Furthermore, in the above <Seal Strength Measurement>, when the measurement temperature in a 150°C environment was used instead of the measurement temperatures in a 25°C environment and a 60°C environment, and the seal strength A(150°C) of the packaging material for an electricity storage device of Example 1-2 was measured, the seal strength A(150°C) was lower than the seal strength A(25°C) in all cases.
