Abstract:
To provide a power storage device whose charge and discharge characteristics are unlikely to be degraded by heat treatment. To provide a power storage device that is highly safe against heat treatment. The power storage device includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, an electrolytic solution, and an exterior body. The separator is located between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator contains polyphenylene sulfide or solvent-spun regenerated cellulosic fiber. The electrolytic solution contains a solute and two or more kinds of solvents. The solute contains LiBETA. One of the solvents is propylene carbonate.
Abstract:
To improve the long-term cycle performance of a lithium-ion battery or a lithium-ion capacitor by minimizing the decomposition reaction of an electrolytic solution and the like as a side reaction of charge and discharge in the repeated charge and discharge cycles of the lithium-ion battery or the lithium-ion capacitor. A current collector and an active material layer over the current collector are included in an electrode for a power storage device. The active material layer includes a plurality of active material particles and silicon oxide. The surface of one of the active material particles has a region that is in contact with one of the other active material particles. The surface of the active material particle except the region is partly or entirely covered with the silicon oxide.
Abstract:
To provide a power storage unit having a structure which is unlikely to break down by change in shape, such as bending. An electrode plate is covered with a sheet of an insulator which is folded in two. The sheet is preferably processed into a bag-like shape or an envelope-like shape by bonding overlapping portions of the sheet in the periphery of the electrode plate. The electrode plate and the sheet are fixed to an exterior body. In the case where the shape of the exterior body is changed by bending or the like, the electrode plate and the sheet can slide together in the exterior body. Thus, stress on the electrode plate due to bending can be relieved.
Abstract:
Part of an electrode, specifically a current collector and an active material layer, for a secondary battery is subjected to cutting processing to have a complex shape. For example, a stack of the first current collector and the first active material layer has a first slit and a second slit. The first slit extends from a first edge of the stack. The second slit extends from a second edge of the stack, is the slit closest to an electrode tab, and is not parallel or vertical to the longest edge of the current collector.
Abstract:
A gel electrolyte and a separator are provided between the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode current collector. The plurality of positive electrode current collectors and the plurality of negative electrode current collectors are stacked such that surfaces of negative electrodes with which active material layers are not coated or surfaces of positive electrodes with which active material layers are not coated are in contact with each other.
Abstract:
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. Further, the cycle characteristics of the power storage device is improved by reducing or inhibiting a decomposition reaction of the electrolyte solution and the like occurring as a side reaction in repeated charging and discharging of the power storage device. 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.

Disclosed is a power storage element including a positive electrode current collector layer and a negative electrode current collector layer which are arranged on the same plane and can be formed through a simple process. The power storage element further includes a positive electrode active material layer on the positive electrode current collector layer; a negative electrode active material layer on the negative electrode current collector layer; and a solid electrolyte layer in contact with at least the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer. The positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer are formed by oxidation treatment.
