摘要:
A power storage device which has improved performance such as higher discharge capacity and in which deterioration due to peeling or the like of an active material layer is less likely to be caused is provided. In an electrode for the power storage device, phosphorus-doped amorphous silicon is used for the active material layer over a current collector as a material that can be alloyed with lithium, and niobium oxide is deposited over the active material layer as a layer containing niobium. Accordingly, the capacity of the power storage device can be increased and the cycle characteristics and the charge-discharge efficiency can be improved.

An electrode and a power storage device each of which achieves better charge-discharge cycle characteristics and is less likely to deteriorate owing to separation of an active material, or the like are manufactured. As the electrode for the power storage device, an electrode including a current collector and an active material layer that is over the current collector and includes a particle containing niobium oxide and a granular active material is used, whereby the charge-discharge cycle characteristics of the power storage device can be improved. Moreover, contact between the granular active material and the particle containing niobium oxide makes the granular active material physically fixed; accordingly, deterioration due to expansion and contraction of the active material which occur along with charge and discharge of the power storage device, such as powdering of the active material layer or its separation from the current collector, can be suppressed.

An electrode for a power storage device with less deterioration due to charge and discharge and a power storage device using the electrode are provided. In the electrode for a power storage device and the power storage device, a region including a metal element which functions as a catalyst is selectively provided over a current collector, and then, an active material layer is formed. By selectively providing the region including the metal element, a whisker can be effectively generated in the active material layer over the current collector, and the whisker generation region can be controlled. Accordingly, the discharge capacity can be increased and the cycle characteristics can be improved.

It is an object to improve performance of a power storage device, such as cycle characteristics. A power storage device includes a current collector and a crystalline semiconductor layer including a whisker, which is formed on and in close contact with the current collector. Separation of the crystalline semiconductor layer is suppressed by an increase of adhesion, whereby cycle characteristics in which a specific capacity of a tenth cycle number with respect to a first cycle number is greater than or equal to 90% is realized. In addition, cycle characteristics in which a specific capacity of a hundredth cycle number with respect to a first cycle number is greater than or equal to 70% is realized.

To provide a method of obtaining a single crystal semiconductor film by a method that is simple and low-cost. A single crystal semiconductor film 11 having compression stress is formed over a surface of a single crystal semiconductor substrate 10 by a vapor phase epitaxial growth method, a film having tensile stress (for example, a thermo-setting resin film 12) is formed over a surface of the single crystal semiconductor film 11, and the single crystal semiconductor substrate 10 and the single crystal semiconductor film 11 are separated from each other by a separation step in which force is applied to the single crystal semiconductor film 11, thereby obtaining a single crystal semiconductor film. Note that as the thermo-setting resin film 12, an epoxy resin film can be used, for example.

A secondary battery to be provided includes an electrode including silicon or a silicon compound, and the electrode includes, for example, a current collector formed using metal and a silicon film as an active material provided over the current collector. The hydrogen concentration in the silicon film of the electrode may be higher than or equal to 1.0×1018 cm−3 and lower than or equal to 1.0×1021 cm−3. Such a silicon film is formed over a current collector by a plasma CVD method or the like for example, and hydrogen is contained as little as possible in the silicon film, which is preferable. In order to contain hydrogen as little as possible in the silicon film, the silicon film may be formed over the current collector under a high temperature environment.
