[0003] The electricity storage element comprises a positive electrode plate, a separator and a negative electrode plate. The positive electrode plate is obtained by forming a positive electrode active material layer such as a lithium cobalt composite oxide or a lithium nickel composite oxide on a positive electrode current collector made of, for example, an aluminum foil. The negative electrode plate is obtained by forming a negative electrode active material layer such as a carbon powder on a negative electrode current collector made of, for example, a copper foil. The separator is usually made of a porous organic polymer film. These power storage elements are housed in the above-described battery container in a state where the power storage elements are stacked so as to be interposed between the electrodes and are spirally wound. Generally, in a battery, when the distance between the electrodes is uniform in the plane direction, the battery reaction proceeds uniformly over the entire electrode, and a long life can be expected.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently manufacturing a thin battery having high energy density and excellent cycle characteristics.

In order to solve the problem, a method of manufacturing a thin battery according to the present invention comprises a first and a second electrode plate, one of which is a positive electrode and the other is a negative electrode, and a porous separator. After the electrode plate and the separator are superimposed and wound around a core, in a method of manufacturing a thin battery for removing the core, the separator is provided on both surfaces of the first electrode plate via a thermoplastic resin layer. Arranged, a thermoplastic resin layer is formed on both sides of the second electrode plate, and wrapped so that a laminate composed of the first electrode plate and the separator exists between the second electrode plate and the core. And

In the battery of the present invention, since the first electrode plate and the separator are bonded by the thermoplastic resin layer as described above, the distance between the first electrode plate and the separator is kept constant. . Also, since a thermoplastic resin layer is formed on both surfaces of the second electrode plate, if this is overlapped with a laminate composed of the first electrode plate and the separator, the thermoplastic resin layers on both surfaces of the second electrode plate will be formed. The second electrode plate and the separator are bonded through the intermediary. Therefore, the distance between the second electrode plate and the separator is also constant. As a result, the distance between the electrodes is constant regardless of the compression force of the container.

Further, since the separators are bonded to both surfaces of the first electrode plate via the thermoplastic resin layers, there is no adhesive film on both outer surfaces of the laminate. Therefore, by winding so that the laminate composed of the first electrode plate and the separator exists between the second electrode plate and the core, the core can be easily removed after the completion of the winding. In order to wind the laminate so that the laminate is present between the second electrode plate and the core, it is usually sufficient to wind the laminate with the laminate inside and the second electrode plate outside.

However, there are cases where the number of cores is set to two in order to facilitate winding, and the first electrode plate, the separator and the second electrode plate are fixed between the two cores. In such a case, the laminate composed of the first electrode plate and the separator may be wound first by a certain length L, for example, only at a portion sandwiched between two cores, and then the second electrode plate may be wound around the outside thereof. . This is because the length L of the laminate is securely fixed by the two cores. In addition, since the first-layer laminate exists between the outer peripheral surfaces of the two cores and the first-electrode second electrode plate, the second electrode plate and the core do not adhere to each other. This is because it can be more easily removed.

The procedure for winding the electricity storage element around the core is as follows. A thermoplastic resin layer 5 is formed on both surfaces of the negative electrode plate 2, and a separator 3 is attached to almost the entire surface of the negative electrode plate 2 to form a laminate 6 of separator 3 / negative electrode plate 2 / separator 3
Is prepared. The thermoplastic resin layer is a thin film made of, for example, a mixture of a thermoplastic resin and a solid filler such as a ceramic powder.Microscopically, the thermoplastic resin adheres to the periphery of the solid filler and a gap between the solid fillers is formed. Thus, porosity can be obtained at the same time, and at the same time, adhesiveness can be obtained by a thermoplastic resin.

Separately, a thermoplastic resin layer 7 is formed on both sides of the positive electrode plate 1 and is kept on standby. Then, the laminate 6 is wound between the two cores 4 by half a circumference of the core 4. Next, the positive electrode plate 1 having the thermoplastic resin layer 7 attached to the outside of the laminate 6 is superimposed, and wound together with the laminate 6 around the outer periphery of the two cores 4 in a spiral. After winding, two cores 4
The core 4 is removed by axially pulling out or pushing out. Since the thermoplastic resin layers 5 and 7 are not in contact with the two cores 4 on the inside (opposing surfaces of the two cores) or on the outside, the cores 4 can be easily pulled out or extruded. Can be taken out. Thereafter, the storage element is housed in a battery container, an electrolytic solution is injected, and the battery is sealed to complete a thin battery.
