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.

Irreversible capacity which causes a decrease in the charge and discharge capacity of a power storage device is reduced, and electrochemical decomposition of an electrolyte solution and the like on a surface of an electrode is inhibited.

A power storage device electrode includes a current collector and an active material layer that is over the current collector and includes a binder and an active material. A coating film is provided on at least part of a surface of the active material. The coating film is spongy.
Abstract:
To improve the reliability of a power storage device. A granular active material including carbon is used, and a net-like structure is formed on part of a surface of the granular active material. In the net-like structure, a carbon atom included in the granular active material is bonded to a silicon atom or a metal atom through an oxygen atom. Formation of the net-like structure suppresses reductive decomposition of an electrolyte solution, leading to a reduction in irreversible capacity. A power storage device using the above active material has high cycle performance and high reliability.
