Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an all-solid-state battery. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, the number of devices that use electricity as an energy source has increased. The range of applications using electricity, such as smartphones, camcorders, laptops, and electric vehicles, is expanding, and as a result, interest in electric storage devices using electrochemical elements is growing. Among the various electrochemical elements, lithium secondary batteries have been attracting attention due to their ability to be charged and discharged, their high operating voltage, and their extremely high energy density.
[0003] Lithium secondary batteries are manufactured by applying a material capable of inserting and extracting lithium ions to a positive electrode and a negative electrode and injecting a liquid electrolyte between the positive and negative electrodes. Electricity is generated or consumed by an oxidation-reduction reaction caused by the insertion and extraction of lithium ions at the negative and positive electrodes. Such lithium secondary batteries are basically required to be stable within the operating voltage range of the battery and to have the ability to transfer ions at a sufficiently fast rate.
[0004] The use of a liquid electrolyte such as a non-aqueous electrolyte in such a lithium secondary battery has the advantage of high discharge capacity and energy density, but it is difficult to achieve high voltages with the lithium secondary battery, and there are problems such as high risks of electrolyte leakage, fire, and explosion.
[0005] To address these issues, secondary batteries that use solid electrolytes instead of liquid electrolytes have been proposed as an alternative. Solid electrolytes are classified into polymer-based solid electrolytes and ceramic-based solid electrolytes, with ceramic-based solid electrolytes being particularly advantageous in terms of their high stability. However, ceramic-based solid electrolytes have problems such as reduced ionic conductivity and reduced charge / discharge efficiency due to poor interfacial contact and side reactions between the electrolyte and electrodes.

[0021] The present invention relates to an all-solid-state battery 100. Figures 1 to 7 are diagrams that schematically show an all-solid-state battery 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. 1 to 7, an all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention includes: an electrode assembly 120 having first and second surfaces S1, S2 facing in a first direction (X direction), third and fourth surfaces S3, S4 facing in a second direction (Y direction), and fifth and sixth surfaces S5, S6 facing in a third direction (Z direction), the electrode assembly 120 including a solid electrolyte 111, and a positive electrode 121 and a negative electrode 122 stacked in the third direction (Z direction) with the solid electrolyte 111 sandwiched therebetween; a battery body 110 including a first margin portion 131 disposed on the third surface S3 of the electrode assembly 120 and a second margin portion 132 disposed on the fourth surface S4 of the electrode assembly 120; a first connecting portion 141 disposed on the first surface of the electrode assembly 120; and a second connecting portion 142 disposed on the second surface of the electrode assembly 120.
[0022] In this case, the first connecting part 141 may include a first collecting electrode 141a connected to the positive electrode 121 and a first protective part 141b disposed on the first collecting electrode 141a, and the second connecting part 142 may include a second collecting electrode 142a connected to the negative electrode 122 and a second protective part 142b disposed on the second collecting electrode 142a. In addition, the first collecting electrode 141a and the second collecting electrode 142a may be drawn out to any one surface in the third direction (Z direction) of the first connecting part 141 and the second connecting part 142. The surface from which the first collecting electrode 141a and the second collecting electrode 142a are drawn out may be a direction toward a fifth surface S5 or a sixth surface S6 of the electrode assembly 120.
[0023] That is, the current collecting electrodes of the all-solid-state battery 100 according to this embodiment may have a structure in which the electrodes are drawn out only to one of the six external surfaces in the third direction (Z direction). When viewing the all-solid-state battery 100 according to this embodiment, each current collecting electrode may have a structure in which the drawn out electrodes are not visible on five surfaces, but are visible only on one surface in the third direction (Z direction).
[0024] Referring to FIG. 2 , the first and second current collecting electrodes 141a and 142a may be extended through one surface (sixth surface, S6) in the third direction (Z direction) of the electrode assembly 120, and the first and second current collecting electrodes 141a and 142a may be spaced apart from each other across the battery body 110. Conventional sintered-type all-solid-state batteries have a structure in which external electrodes connected to the positive and negative electrodes are disposed to cover the head surface of the battery body. This structure can cause problems such as gaps between the battery body and the external electrodes or moisture penetration between the battery body and the external electrodes. The above-described embodiment of the present invention can effectively prevent moisture penetration from the outside by minimizing the electrodes exposed to the outside, thereby achieving excellent moisture resistance reliability.
[0025] Furthermore, in conventional technologies, differences in the shrinkage behavior between the external electrodes and the battery body can cause residual internal stress, resulting in a problem of reduced mechanical strength of the battery itself. The all-solid-state battery of the present invention does not require the formation of separate external electrodes, and instead, as described below, the battery body and electrodes are simultaneously fired through a single sintering process, thereby improving the mechanical strength of the battery itself. Furthermore, because separate external electrodes are not required, the component itself can be made smaller.
[0026] The first connecting part 141 of the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention may include a first current collecting electrode 141a and a first protective part 141b, and the second connecting part 142 may include a second current collecting electrode 142a and a second protective part 142b.
[0027] In one example of the present invention, the first protective part 141b of the all-solid-state battery 100 may be arranged to cover at least a portion of the first current collecting electrode 141a, and the second protective part 142b may be arranged to cover at least a portion of the second current collecting electrode 142a. The protective parts being arranged to cover at least a portion of the current collecting electrodes means that the protective parts are arranged on at least a portion of both surfaces in the first direction (X direction) of the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second current collecting electrode 142a arranged in the electrode assembly 120 of the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention, and may mean that at least a portion of the protective parts is arranged in contact with the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second current collecting electrode 142a.
[0028] In another example, the first protective part 141b of the all-solid-state battery 100 may be arranged to cover the entire surface of the first collecting electrode 141a in the first direction (X direction), and the second protective part 142b may be arranged to cover the entire surface of the second collecting electrode 142a in the first direction (X direction). The protective part being arranged to cover the entire surface of the extraction electrode in the first direction may mean that when the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention is viewed from the first direction (X direction), only the protective part is visible, and the extraction electrode is hidden by the protective part and cannot be seen. In other words, the first protective part 141b may be arranged so as not to expose the first collecting electrode 141a in the first direction, and the second protective part 142b may be arranged so as not to expose the second collecting electrode 142a in the first direction (X direction). In this manner, when the first protective part 141b is arranged to cover the first collecting electrode 141a and the second protective part 142b is arranged to cover the second collecting electrode 142a, the area of the extraction electrode exposed to the outside can be reduced, thereby minimizing the path through which external moisture can penetrate.
[0029] Furthermore, in the all-solid-state battery 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first protective part 141b may be disposed to cover the first surface S1 of the electrode assembly 120, and the second protective part 142b may be disposed to cover the second surface S2 of the electrode assembly 120. Thus, the first current collecting electrode 141a may be disposed in contact with the first surface S1 of the electrode assembly 120, and the first protective part 141b may be disposed to cover the first current collecting electrode 141a. Furthermore, the second current collecting electrode 142a may be disposed in contact with the second surface S2 of the electrode assembly 120, and the second protective part 142b may be disposed to cover the second current collecting electrode 142a. That is, the first current collecting electrode 141a may be disposed on the first surface S1 of the electrode assembly 120 and connected to the positive electrode 121, and the second current collecting electrode 142a may be disposed on the second surface S2 of the electrode assembly 120 and connected to the negative electrode 122.
[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the maximum value of the width of the first current collector electrode 141a and / or the second current collector electrode 142a of the all-solid-state battery 100 in the second direction (Y direction) may be smaller than the maximum value of the width of the battery body 110 in the second direction (Y direction). FIG. 7 schematically shows a cross section of the first connection portion 141 according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this specification, the description of the first connection portion 141 can be similarly applied to the second connection portion 142. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 7, the maximum value W2 of the width of the first current collector electrode 141a of the first connection portion 141 and / or the second current collector electrode 142a of the second connection portion 142 in the second direction (Y direction) may be smaller than the maximum value W1 of the width of the battery body 110 in the second direction (Y direction). That is, the relationship W2 < W1 can be satisfied. In this specification, the maximum value of the width of a certain member means the maximum value among the values measured in the direction parallel to the second direction (Y direction) at any five positions of the above member, and can be the value measured at normal temperature (25 ° C) and normal pressure (1 atm). When the maximum value of the width of the first current collector electrode 141a and / or the second current collector electrode 142a in the second direction (Y direction) is smaller than the maximum value of the width of the battery body 110 in the second direction (Y direction), the first current collector electrode 141a and / or the second current collector electrode 142a are not exposed in the second direction (Y direction) of the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention, so that the moisture resistance can be further improved.
[0031] In one example, the maximum value of the height of the first current collector electrode 141a and / or the second current collector electrode 142a in the third direction (Z direction) according to the present invention may be smaller than the maximum value of the height of the battery body 110 in the third direction (Z direction). Referring to FIGS. 1 and 7, the maximum value H2 of the height of the first current collector electrode 141a of the first connection portion 141 and / or the second current collector electrode 142a of the second connection portion 142 in the third direction (Z direction) may be smaller than the maximum value H1 of the height of the battery body 110 in the third direction (Z direction). That is, the relationship H2 < H1 can be satisfied. In the present specification, the maximum value of the height of a certain member means the maximum value among the values measured in a direction parallel to the third direction (Z direction) at any five positions of the member, and can be a value measured at room temperature (25°C) and normal pressure (1 atm). When the maximum value of the height of the first current collector electrode 141a and / or the second current collector electrode 142a in the third direction (Z direction) is smaller than the maximum value of the height of the battery body 110 in the third direction (Z direction), by exposing only the first current collector electrode 141a and / or the second current collector electrode 142a on one side of the all-solid-state battery 100 in the third direction (Z direction) according to the present invention, the possibility of moisture penetration can be reduced.
[0032] As described above, when the first protection portion 141b is arranged to entirely cover one surface of the first current collector electrode 141a in the first direction (X direction), and the second protection portion 142b is arranged to entirely cover one surface of the second current collector electrode 142a in the first direction (X direction), the height (Z direction) of the first protection portion 141b and / or the second protection portion 142b in the third direction can be equal to the maximum value H1 of the height of the battery body 110 in the third direction (Z direction). That is, the first protection portion 141b and the second protection portion 142b are arranged on both surfaces of the battery body 110 in the first direction, and can be arranged to at least entirely cover the thickness direction of the battery body 110.
[0033] Furthermore, as described above, when the first protective part 141b is arranged to cover the entire surface of the first collecting electrode 141a in the first direction (X direction) and the second protective part 142b is arranged to cover the entire surface of the second collecting electrode 142a in the first direction (X direction), the width in the second direction (Y direction) of the first protective part 141b and / or the second protective part 142b may be equal to the maximum value W1 of the width in the second direction (Y direction) of the battery body 110. That is, the first protective part 141b and the second protective part 142b may be arranged on both sides of the battery body 110 in the first direction and may be arranged to cover at least the entire width of the battery body 110 in the width direction.
[0034] In addition, in one example of the present invention, when the first protective part 141b is arranged to cover the entire surface of the first collecting electrode 141a in the first direction (X direction) and the second protective part 142b is arranged to cover the entire surface of the second collecting electrode 142a in the first direction (X direction), the first protective part 141b and the second protective part 142b may be arranged to cover the entire surfaces of the battery body 110 in the first direction.
[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, a battery body 110 of an all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention can include an electrode assembly 120, a first margin portion 131, and a second margin portion 132. The electrode assembly 120 can include a solid electrolyte layer 111, and a positive electrode 121 and a negative electrode 122 stacked in a third direction (Z direction) with the solid electrolyte layer 111 sandwiched therebetween.
[0036] The positive electrode and the negative electrode 121, 122 may be stacked such that their end surfaces are exposed to opposite ends of the battery body 110. Specifically, the positive electrode and the negative electrode 121, 122 may be exposed to both surfaces of the battery body 110 in a first direction (X direction), and the positive electrode 121 may be exposed to a first surface S1 of the battery body 110, and the negative electrode 122 may be exposed to a second surface S2 of the battery body 110.
[0037] In one example, the positive electrode 121 of the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention may include a positive electrode current collector 121a and a positive electrode active material 121b. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of region A in Fig. 2. Referring to Fig. 3, the positive electrode 121 of the all-solid-state battery 100 according to this example may have a structure in which the positive electrode active material 121b is disposed on both sides of the positive electrode current collector 121a in the third direction.
[0038] In one example of the present invention, the positive electrode active material 121b included in the positive electrode 121 is not particularly limited as long as it can ensure sufficient capacity. For example, the positive electrode active material 121b may include one or more selected from the group consisting of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, lithium iron phosphate, and lithium manganese oxide, but is not necessarily limited thereto, and any positive electrode active material available in the art may be used.

The positive electrode current collector may also be coated with an oxidation-resistant metal or alloy film to prevent oxidation.
[0042] The positive electrode of the all-solid-state battery according to the present invention may optionally contain a conductive agent and a binder.

[0044] The positive electrode used in the secondary battery of the present invention can be prepared by directly coating a composition containing a positive electrode active material onto a positive electrode current collector containing a metal such as copper and drying the composition. Alternatively, the positive electrode can be prepared by casting the positive electrode active material composition onto a separate support and then curing the resulting composition, in which case a separate positive electrode current collector may not be required.

[0057] The battery body 110 of the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention may include a first margin portion 131 disposed on the third surface S3 of the electrode assembly 120 and a second margin portion 132 disposed on the fourth surface S4 of the electrode assembly 120. The first margin portion 131 and the second margin portion 132 may include a ceramic material, such as, but not limited to, alumina (Al2O3), aluminum nitride (AlN), beryllium oxide (BeO), boron nitride (BN), silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), silica (SiO2), silicon nitride (Si3N4), gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), barium titanate (BaTiO3), zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), mixtures thereof, oxides and / or nitrides of these materials, or any other suitable ceramic material. In addition, the first margin portion 131 and the second margin portion 132 may include the above-mentioned solid electrolyte, and may include one or more kinds of solid electrolytes, but are not limited thereto.
[0058] The first margin portion 131 and the second margin portion 132 may be formed by applying a slurry containing a ceramic material in the second direction (Y direction) of the electrode assembly 120, or by attaching one or more sheets made of a ceramic material in the second direction (Y direction). The first margin portion 131 and the second margin portion 132 basically serve to prevent damage to the electrode assembly due to physical or chemical stress.
[0059] In the all-solid-state battery 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a first connecting part 141 and a second connecting part 142 may be disposed on both sides of the battery body 110 in a first direction (X direction). The first connecting part 141 and the second connecting part 142 may have dimensions and areas corresponding to both sides of the battery body 110 in the first direction (X direction). As described above, the first connecting part 141 may be disposed to cover a first side of the electrode assembly 120, and the second connecting part 142 may be disposed to cover a second side of the electrode assembly 120.
[0060] The first connecting part 141 may include a first collecting electrode 141a, and the second connecting part 142 may include a second collecting electrode 142a. The first collecting electrode 141a may be connected to the positive electrode 121, and the second collecting electrode 142a may be connected to the negative electrode 122. The material for forming the first collecting electrode 141a and the second collecting electrode 142a is not particularly limited, and may be formed using a conductive paste including one or more conductive metals selected from silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), gold (Au), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), tin (Sn), tungsten (W), titanium (Ti), and alloys thereof.
[0061] The first connecting portion 141 may include a first protective portion 141b, and the second connecting portion 142 may include a second protective portion 142b. The first protective portion 141b and the second protective portion 142b may include a ceramic material, and may include the same ceramic material as the first margin portion 131 and the second margin portion 132 of the battery body 110. When the first protective portion 141b and the second protective portion 142b include the same ceramic material as the first margin portion 131 and the second margin portion 132, they may exhibit similar sintering behavior, thereby reducing internal stress in the completed all-solid-state battery.
[0062] In another example of the present invention, the first protective portion 141b and / or the second protective portion 142b of the first connecting portion 141 and / or the second connecting portion 142 of the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention may include a ceramic component having a different composition from the first margin portion 131 and the second margin portion 132 of the battery body 110. Because the first protective portion 141b and the second protective portion 142b are disposed on the first collecting electrode 141a and the second collecting electrode 142a, a significant portion of the area in contact with the battery body 110 is disposed in contact with the metal component. The interface between the different components, such as the metal and the ceramic material, may have a weak adhesive strength due to shrinkage during the sintering process. Adjusting the sintering behavior by adjusting the composition of the first protective portion 141b and the second protective portion 142b, as in this example, can improve the adhesive strength between the first protective portion 141b and the second protective portion 142b and the first collecting electrode 141a and the second collecting electrode 142a, thereby improving the reliability of the battery.
[0063] The manufacturing method of the all-solid-state battery according to the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, formed by forming the first margin portion 131 on the third surface S3 of the electrode assembly 120, forming the second margin portion 132 on the fourth surface S4, and then forming the first connecting portion 141 and the second connecting portion 142. The first connecting portion 141 and the second connecting portion 142 may be formed by applying and drying a conductive paste for forming the first collecting electrode 141a and the second collecting electrode 142a on both surfaces in the first direction (X direction) of the battery body 110, applying and drying a ceramic paste for forming the first protective portion 141b and the second protective portion 142b on the dried conductive paste, and then sintering the applied paste. Alternatively, the all-solid-state battery may be manufactured by transferring a ceramic sheet for forming the first protective portion 141b and the second protective portion 142b onto the dried conductive paste and then sintering the applied paste.
[0064] Alternatively, to manufacture the first connecting part 141 and the second connecting part 142, the first and second current collecting electrodes 141a, 142a may be printed on the first and second protective parts 141b, 142b, which are previously manufactured, such as ceramic sheets, and then the printed parts may be attached to both sides of the battery body 110 in the first direction (X direction) and sintered. In this way, the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention can be manufactured through a single sintering process after forming the first connecting part 141 and the second connecting part 142 on the battery body 110, and a firing process for forming a separate external electrode is not required, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process.
[0065] In one example of the present invention, the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention may further include a first terminal electrode 151 connected to the first current collecting electrode 141a and a second terminal electrode 152 connected to the second current collecting electrode 142a. In this case, the first terminal electrode 151 and the second terminal electrode 152 may be disposed spaced apart from each other on a surface from which the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second current collecting electrode 142a are extended. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second current collecting electrode 142a may be extended to one surface in the third direction (Z direction) of the all-solid-state battery 100, and the first terminal electrode 151 connected to the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second terminal electrode 152 connected to the second current collecting electrode 142a may be disposed.
[0066] The first and second terminal electrodes 151 and 152 may be formed by, for example, applying a terminal electrode paste containing a conductive metal to the lead-out portions of the first and second collecting electrodes 141a and 142a, respectively. Alternatively, they may be formed by applying a terminal electrode paste or powder to the first and second collecting electrodes 141a and 142a of the sintered battery body 110 and firing the paste or powder using a method such as induction heating. Alternatively, the first and second terminal electrodes 151 and 152 may be formed by sputtering or electrolytic deposition of a conductive metal on the lead-out portions of the first and second collecting electrodes 141a and 142a, respectively, but are not limited thereto. The conductive metal may be, for example, one or more of copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), tin (Sn), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), gold (Au), silver (Ag), tungsten (W), titanium (Ti), lead (Pb), and alloys thereof, but are not limited thereto.
[0067] In one example, the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention may further include plating layers (not shown) disposed on the first terminal electrode 151 and the second terminal electrode 152, respectively. The plating layers may include, but are not limited to, one or more selected from the group consisting of copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), tin (Sn), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), gold (Au), silver (Ag), tungsten (W), titanium (Ti), lead (Pb), and alloys thereof. The plating layers may be formed as a single layer or multiple layers and may be formed by sputtering or electroplating (electrodeposition), but are not limited thereto.
[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second current collecting electrode 142a of the all-solid-state battery 100 may be extended to opposite sides of the battery body 110 in the third direction (Z direction). FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the all-solid-state battery 100 according to this embodiment. Referring to FIG. 8, the all-solid-state battery 100 according to this embodiment may have a structure in which the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second current collecting electrode 142a are extended in opposite directions. For example, the first current collecting electrode 141a may be extended toward the top surface of the all-solid-state battery, and the second current collecting electrode 142a may be extended toward the bottom surface.
[0069] In this case, when the first terminal electrode 151′ is disposed on the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second terminal electrode 152′ is disposed on the second current collecting electrode 142a, the first terminal electrode 151′ and the second terminal electrode 152′ may also be extended to opposite sides of the battery body 110 in the third direction (Z direction). When the first and second current collecting electrodes are extended in different directions as in the present embodiment, the all-solid-state battery 100 can be applied between substrates of a multilayer structure, thereby improving space utilization.
[0070] In the present embodiment, the maximum width W2 of the first current collecting electrode 141a and / or the second current collecting electrode 142a of the all-solid-state battery 100 in the second direction (Y direction) may be smaller than the maximum width W3 of the battery body 110 in the second direction (Y direction). Furthermore, the maximum height H2 of the first current collecting electrode 141a and / or the second current collecting electrode 142a of the all-solid-state battery 100 in the third direction (Z direction) may be smaller than the maximum height H3 of the battery body 110 in the third direction (Z direction).
[0071] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second current collecting electrode 142a of the all-solid-state battery 100 of the present invention may be drawn out to both sides in the third direction (Z direction) of the battery body 110. Figures 9 to 11 are diagrams schematically showing the all-solid-state battery 100 according to this embodiment. Referring to Figures 9 to 11, in the all-solid-state battery 100 according to this embodiment, the first connecting portion 141 and the second connecting portion 142 are arranged on both sides in the first direction (X direction) of the electrode assembly 120, in which the first margin portion 131 and the second margin portion 132 are respectively arranged on both sides in the second direction (Y direction). Here, the first connecting portion 141 includes a first collecting electrode 141a and a first protective portion 141b, and the second connecting portion 142 includes a second collecting electrode 142a and a second protective portion 142b, and the first collecting electrode 141a and the second collecting electrode 142a are respectively drawn out to both sides in the third direction (Z direction).
[0072] In this case, when the first terminal electrode 151'' and the third terminal electrode 153'' are disposed on the first current collecting electrode 141a, and the second terminal electrode 152'' and the fourth terminal electrode 154'' are disposed on the second current collecting electrode 142a, the first terminal electrode 151'' and the third terminal electrode 153'' can be drawn out to both sides in the third direction (Z direction) of the battery body 110, and the second terminal electrode 152'' and the fourth terminal electrode 154'' can also be drawn out to both sides in the third direction (Z direction) of the battery body 110. That is, the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present embodiment can have a structure in which current collecting electrodes of the same polarity are drawn out to two locations, or a structure in which current collecting electrodes are drawn out to a total of four locations.
[0073] In this embodiment, the maximum width W5 of the first current collecting electrode 141a and / or the second current collecting electrode 142a of the all-solid-state battery 100 in the second direction (Y direction) may be smaller than the maximum width W4 of the battery body 110 in the second direction (Y direction).
[0074] In one example, the maximum height H5 of the first current collecting electrode 141a and the second current collecting electrode 142a in the third direction (Z direction) of the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention may be equal to the maximum height H4 of the battery body 110 in the third direction (Z direction). In this specification, "a certain length, width, and / or height being equal" is assumed to include a margin of error. Here, the margin of error may mean, but is not limited to, ±3 μm or less, ±2 μm or less, or ±1 μm or less.
[0075] In one example, the all-solid-state battery 100 according to the present invention may have a length in a first direction (X direction) longer than a width in a second direction (Y direction).

The above example structure has a length in the first direction (X direction) longer than a width in the second direction (Y direction), and electrodes connected to the outside are disposed at both ends in the first direction (X direction). In this case, it is possible to improve moisture resistance reliability and maximize capacity.

This configuration has a structure in which the distance between electrodes connected to the outside is relatively short, making it possible to realize a chip with excellent moisture resistance reliability and low ESL.
[0077] In this example, the maximum width W7 of the first current collecting electrode 241a and / or the second current collecting electrode 242a of the all-solid-state battery 200 in the second direction (Y direction) may be smaller than the maximum width W6 of the battery body 210 in the second direction (Y direction). Furthermore, the maximum height H7 of the first current collecting electrode 241a and / or the second current collecting electrode 242a according to the present invention in the third direction (Z direction) may be smaller than the maximum height H6 of the battery body 210 in the third direction (Z direction).
