Abstract:
A lithium ion secondary battery with a high electrode density and an excellent rate discharge characteristic. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode active material of a compound represented by Lia(NixCoyAl1−x−y)O2 (0.95:≦a≦1.05, 0.5≦x≦0.9, 0.05≦y≦0.2), and carbon adhered to the surface of the material, in the Raman spectrum using a laser of 532 nm, the positive electrode includes a peak PA (D band) at 1200˜1450 cm−1, a peak PB (G band) at 1450˜1700 cm−1 and a peak PC at 400˜600 cm−1, and when the intensities are normalized by regarding the maximum intensity as 1 and the minimum intensity as 0 in the wavenumber domain of 200˜1800 cm−1, Raman intensity of the minimum (V band) between the two peaks of said peak PA and said peak PB is 0.6 or less, and Raman intensity of said peak PC is 0.1 or more and 0.5 or less.
Abstract:
A lithium powder includes: a core of metallic lithium; and a coating layer coating a surface of at least a part of the core. The coating layer contains lithium carbonate including a surface in at least a part of which lithium oxide is present. The coating layer may include a first coating film layer present in at least a part of the core, and a second coating film layer present in a surface of the first coating film layer. The first coating film layer may contain lithium carbide. The second coating film layer may contain lithium carbonate.
Abstract:
This battery includes: an electrical storage element with positive and negative electrodes and insulating film between the positive and negative electrodes and electrically separates the positive and negative electrodes; and an airtight case housing the electrical storage element, wherein the case includes: a first member having bottom and tubular portions; a second member having a lid-like portion covering an opening of the first member and a surrounding wall portion covering the tubular portion from an outside; and a gasket between an end face of the first member and the second member and between the tubular portion and the second member, and wherein a non-contact portion with which the gasket is not in contact is provided in either one or both of a part of a first surface of the first member that faces the gasket and a part of a second surface of the second member that faces the gasket.
