Abstract:
In the case where a film, which has lower strength than a metal can, is used as an exterior body of a secondary battery, a current collector provided in a region surrounded by the exterior body, an active material layer provided on a surface of the current collector, or the like might be damaged when force is externally applied to the secondary battery. A secondary battery which is resistant to external force is obtained. An opening is provided in a central portion of the secondary battery; and a terminal is formed in the opening. An outer edge of the secondary battery is fixed by thermocompression bonding. In addition, the central portion of the secondary battery is fixed by thermocompression bonding, so that the amount of bending is limited even when the outer edge portion of the secondary battery is bent.
Abstract:
A novel electrode is provided. A novel power storage device is provided. A conductor having a sheet-like shape is provided. The conductor has a thickness of greater than or equal to 800 nm and less than or equal to 20 μm. The area of the conductor is greater than or equal to 25 mm2 and less than or equal to 10 m2. The conductor includes carbon and oxygen. The conductor includes carbon at a concentration of higher than 80 atomic % and oxygen at a concentration of higher than or equal to 2 atomic % and lower than or equal to 20 atomic %.
Abstract:
An object is to reduce variation in shape of crystals that are to be formed. Solutions containing respective raw materials are made in an environment where an oxygen concentration is lower than that in air, the solutions containing the respective raw materials are mixed in an environment where an oxygen concentration is lower than that in air to form a mixture solution, and with use of the mixture solution, a composite oxide is formed by a hydrothermal method.
Abstract:
An electronic device having a novel structure, specifically, an electronic device having a novel structure that can be changed into various appearances is provided. Specifically, after an active material layer is formed on one or both surfaces of a current collector, the active material layer in a bent region is partly removed. The removed region of the active material layer can be in a linear shape, a dot shape, or a matrix shape, for example. After the active material layer is formed on one or both surfaces of the current collector, laser processing for removing part of the active material layer in an irradiation region is performed using laser light or the like. On the region where the surface of the current collector is exposed, the active material layer is not provided, and this region is a region that does not function as a battery. Owing to this region, a secondary battery with a wide movable region can be achieved.
Abstract:
To achieve a power storage unit that can be repeatedly bent without a large decrease in charge and discharge capacity. In the flexible power storage unit, the content of a binder in an active material layer containing an active material is greater than or equal to 1 wt % and less than or equal to 10 wt %, preferably greater than or equal to 2 wt % and less than or equal to 8 wt %, and more preferably greater than or equal to 3 wt % and less than or equal to 5 wt %.
Abstract:
An object is to provide an electrochemical device in which lithium deposition and reduction in battery capacity can be inhibited even when the concentration of a lithium salt in an electrolytic solution is lower than 1.0 M. Lithium deposition can be inhibited and lithium whiskers can be dissolved by applying an inversion pulse current for a short time more than once in a charging period of a secondary battery which deteriorates. By applying the inversion pulse current more than once, deterioration of a lithium-ion secondary battery due to repeated charging can be suppressed even when it is a secondary battery in which the concentration of a lithium salt in an electrolytic solution is lower than 1.0 M and therefore lithium is easily deposited.
