Abstract:
Provided are an anode capable of preventing an increase in impedance and variations in characteristics and a battery using the anode. An anode active material layer includes at least one kind selected from the group consisting of simple substances, alloys and compounds of silicon and the like capable of forming an alloy with Li. The anode active material layer is formed by a vapor-phase deposition method or the like, and is alloyed with an anode current collector. A coating including lithium carbonate is formed on at least a part of a surface of the anode current collector. Thereby, an increase in impedance can be prevented. Moreover, the anode is less subject to an influence by a difference in a handling environment or storage conditions, so variations in impedance can be prevented.

A test method for a secondary battery, which early detects the occurrence of the future micro short-circuiting in the screening and promotes to render the contaminant harmless while suppressing the short-circuiting between the positive and negative electrodes in the aging, is provided. This test method includes Step S12 of charging the secondary battery, Steps S13 and S14 of aging the secondary battery in a first pressed state, Step S17 of measuring a battery voltage (V1) after the aging, Step S18 of screening the secondary battery in a second pressed state with a higher pressure than in the first pressed state, and Step S19 of measuring a battery voltage (V2) after the screening. Whether the battery has the internal short-circuiting or not is determined (Step S20) based on the difference between the voltage (V1) measured in Step S17 and the voltage (V2) measured in Step S19.
Abstract:
A method of in-situ electrolyte preparation in a flow battery includes providing a vanadium-based electrolyte solution having vanadium ions of predominantly vanadium V4+ to a first electrode and a second electrode of at least one cell of a flow battery. The vanadium V4+ at the first electrode is converted to vanadium V3+ and the vanadium V4+ at the second electrode is converted to vanadium V5+ by providing electrical energy to the electrodes. A reducing agent is then provided to the vanadium V5+ at the second electrode to reduce the V5+ to vanadium the V4+. The vanadium V3+ at the first electrode is then converted to vanadium V2+ and the vanadium V4+ at the second electrode is then converted to vanadium V5+ by providing electrical energy to the electrodes. A simple method to produce predominantly vanadium V4+ electrolyte from a V5+ source, such as V2O5, is also taught.
