Description

本発明は、リチウムイオン二次電池の製造方法及びリチウムイオン二次電池の前駆体に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a lithium ion secondary battery and a precursor of a lithium ion secondary battery.

リチウムイオン二次電池の放電容量が初期充電後に低下することを防止するために、電池の初期充電工程の前に、負極とリチウム金属とを反応させるリチウムプレドープが従来から行われている(例えば特許文献1)。プレドープを行うと、初期充電工程において、リチウムシリケート等の副生成物が生成されたり、電解液中のリチウムイオンが失われて放電容量が低下したりすることを防止することができる。   In order to prevent the discharge capacity of the lithium ion secondary battery from decreasing after the initial charging, lithium pre-doping for reacting the negative electrode with lithium metal has been conventionally performed before the initial charging process of the battery (for example, Patent Document 1). When pre-doping is performed, it is possible to prevent a by-product such as lithium silicate from being generated in the initial charging step, or loss of lithium ions in the electrolytic solution and a reduction in discharge capacity.

特許文献1のリチウムプレドープは、プレドープに用いられるリチウム金属片を電極積層体の積層方向の両端に配置することにより行う。しかし、この方法によれば、電極積層体のリチウム金属片に近い部分と遠い部分とで、ドープされるリチウムイオンの量及びドープの速度が異なってしまう。したがって、電極積層体の全体に均一にドープするのに長時間を要するという問題があった。   The lithium pre-doping in Patent Document 1 is performed by arranging lithium metal pieces used for pre-doping at both ends in the stacking direction of the electrode stack. However, according to this method, the amount of lithium ions to be doped and the doping speed differ between a portion close to the lithium metal piece and a portion far from the lithium metal piece of the electrode stack. Therefore, there is a problem that it takes a long time to dope the entire electrode laminate uniformly.

なお、前駆体形成工程は、電極対形成工程及びユニット積層工程と同時に行っても、分けて行ってもよい。前駆体形成工程を電極対形成工程及びユニット積層工程と同時に行う場合は、負極2−セパレータ3−正極4−セパレータ3を積層する間(すなわち電極対形成工程及びユニット積層工程を繰り返す際に)にリチウム供給体5を配していく。一方、前駆体形成工程を電極対形成工程及びユニット積層工程と分けて行う場合は、予め電極対Aを複数作成しておき、セパレータ3を介装させつつ電極対Aを複数ユニット重ねる度にリチウム供給体5を配する。このように電極対形成工程及びユニット積層工程とリチウム供給体5の介装工程とを分けて行うと、前駆体Bの作製を効率的に行うことができる。
積層前又は積層後に負極2及び正極4をプレスして、各電極を構成する電極活物質層の体積密度を調整してもよい。
The precursor forming step may be performed simultaneously with the electrode pair forming step and the unit stacking step or separately. When the precursor forming step is performed simultaneously with the electrode pair forming step and the unit stacking step, the negative electrode 2-separator 3-positive electrode 4-separator 3 is stacked (that is, when the electrode pair forming step and the unit stacking step are repeated). The lithium supply body 5 is arranged. On the other hand, when the precursor forming step is performed separately from the electrode pair forming step and the unit stacking step, a plurality of electrode pairs A are prepared in advance, and each time a plurality of electrode pairs A are stacked while the separator 3 is interposed, lithium is added. A supply body 5 is arranged. Thus, when the electrode pair forming step, the unit stacking step, and the interposing step of the lithium supply body 5 are performed separately, the precursor B can be efficiently manufactured.
You may press the negative electrode 2 and the positive electrode 4 before or after lamination | stacking, and may adjust the volume density of the electrode active material layer which comprises each electrode.

セパレータ3は絶縁性を有し、電解液を保持又は通過させることが可能なものであれば特に限定されず、公知のリチウムイオン二次電池で使用されるセパレータ3が適用可能である。セパレータ3の具体例としては、不織布、オレフィン系樹脂からなる多孔質膜、絶縁性粒子からなる多孔性絶縁膜等が挙げられる。セパレータ3の厚みは、絶縁性が保たれる厚みであれば特に限定されず、例えば5〜50μm程度の厚みが挙げられる。   The separator 3 is not particularly limited as long as it has insulating properties and can hold or pass the electrolytic solution, and a separator 3 used in a known lithium ion secondary battery is applicable. Specific examples of the separator 3 include a nonwoven fabric, a porous film made of an olefin resin, a porous insulating film made of insulating particles, and the like. The thickness of the separator 3 will not be specifically limited if it is the thickness by which insulation is maintained, For example, the thickness of about 5-50 micrometers is mentioned.

リチウム供給体5を構成する材料は、接触した電解液にリチウム金属又はリチウムイオンが溶出する材料であれば特に限定されず、公知のリチウムプレドープに使用されるリチウム金属含有材料が適用できる。例えば、リチウム金属又はリチウム合金からなる金属箔、リチウム金属又はリチウム合金を含む多孔性樹脂材料、リチウム金属又はリチウム合金を含む多孔性無機材料等、が挙げられる。リチウム供給体5がリチウム金属箔であると、リチウムプレドープの進行とともにリチウム金属箔が溶解して無くなる。   The material which comprises the lithium supply body 5 will not be specifically limited if lithium metal or a lithium ion elutes into the electrolyte solution which contacted, The lithium metal containing material used for well-known lithium pre dope is applicable. Examples thereof include a metal foil made of lithium metal or a lithium alloy, a porous resin material containing lithium metal or a lithium alloy, a porous inorganic material containing lithium metal or a lithium alloy, and the like. When the lithium supply body 5 is a lithium metal foil, the lithium metal foil dissolves and disappears with the progress of lithium pre-doping.

リチウム供給体5の形状は、電極対Aの表面すなわち負極2又は正極4の平板面に対向して載置することができる平面を有する板状であればよい。具体的に、板状のリチウム供給体5としては、薄く延した箔、線材のリチウム金属で編まれた平面状の布材、導電板の表面上に形成されたリチウム金属の膜等の形状を含む。なお、リチウム供給体5の負極2又は正極4に対向させる平板面の面積は、短絡防止の観点から負極2又は正極4の板面よりもわずかに小さく形成されていることが望ましい。   The shape of the lithium supply body 5 may be a plate shape having a flat surface that can be placed opposite to the surface of the electrode pair A, that is, the flat surface of the negative electrode 2 or the positive electrode 4. Specifically, the plate-like lithium supply body 5 has a shape such as a thinly stretched foil, a planar cloth material knitted with lithium metal as a wire, and a lithium metal film formed on the surface of a conductive plate. Including. Note that the area of the flat plate surface facing the negative electrode 2 or the positive electrode 4 of the lithium supply body 5 is desirably slightly smaller than the plate surface of the negative electrode 2 or the positive electrode 4 from the viewpoint of preventing a short circuit.

リチウム供給体5の厚さは特に限定されず、負極2の不可逆容量を担保する量のリチウム金属を供給可能な厚さを適宜設定すればよいが、溶け残りが発生するのは好ましくない。したがって、リチウム供給体5の厚さ寸法は、例えば、90μm以上210μm以下であることが好ましく、100μm〜200μmの範囲であればより好ましい。
また、リチウム供給体5の配置間隔は、300μm以上1000μm以下であることが好ましく、400μm以上900μm以下であることがより好ましい。このような厚さ寸法にすることにより、皺等を生じさせずにリチウム供給体5を容易に積層することが可能となる。
The thickness of the lithium supply body 5 is not particularly limited, and a thickness capable of supplying an amount of lithium metal that secures the irreversible capacity of the negative electrode 2 may be set as appropriate, but it is not preferable that unmelted residue is generated. Therefore, it is preferable that the thickness dimension of the lithium supply body 5 is 90 micrometers or more and 210 micrometers or less, for example, and it is more preferable if it is the range of 100 micrometers-200 micrometers.
Moreover, the arrangement interval of the lithium supply body 5 is preferably 300 μm or more and 1000 μm or less, and more preferably 400 μm or more and 900 μm or less. By setting it to such a thickness dimension, it becomes possible to laminate | stack the lithium supply body 5 easily, without producing a wrinkle etc.

このようにリチウム供給体5を少なくとも1か所の電極対A,A同士の間を含む単数又は複数ユニットの電極対Aの端部に1ユニット以上総ユニット数/2以下の整数以下のユニット間隔を設けて配することによって、リチウム金属又はリチウムイオンの拡散を電極対Aの積層方向に双方向に速やかに拡散させてリチウムドープを速やかに行うことが可能となる。   In this way, the unit interval of 1 unit or more and the total number of units / 2 or less of the lithium supply body 5 at the end of the single or plural unit electrode pair A including at least one of the electrode pairs A and A. By providing and arranging, lithium metal or lithium ions can be diffused quickly in both directions in the direction of lamination of the electrode pair A, so that lithium doping can be performed quickly.

また、リチウム供給体5の厚さを90μm以上210μm以下、より好ましくは10μm以上200μm以下の範囲に設定することで、リチウム供給体5を電極対A,A間に配する際にリチウム供給体5(例えばリチウム金属箔)に皺がよることを低減することができる。これにより、電極対Aに対してリチウム供給体5が密着する部分と密着しない部分が発生する場合に生じるドープむらが発生することを抑制して、電極対Aに速やかかつ均一にリチウムドープを行うことが可能となる。   Further, by setting the thickness of the lithium supply body 5 in the range of 90 μm or more and 210 μm or less, more preferably in the range of 10 μm or more and 200 μm or less, the lithium supply body 5 is disposed when the lithium supply body 5 is disposed between the electrode pairs A and A. It is possible to reduce wrinkling due to (for example, lithium metal foil). This suppresses the occurrence of uneven doping when the portion where the lithium supply body 5 is in close contact with the electrode pair A and the portion where it is not in close contact with the electrode pair A, so that the electrode pair A is quickly and uniformly doped with lithium. It becomes possible.

<外装体6への封入>
前駆体Bを1セット以上形成した後、前駆体Bを外装体6で仮封止する。外装体6の種類は特に限定されず、公知のリチウムイオン二次電池に使用される金属製又は樹脂製の外装体6を採用することができる。本実施形態においては、外装体6として樹脂フィルムを用いて、前駆体Bをラミネートしたシート型のセルを得る。セルの仮封止にあたっては、負極集電体2a及び正極集電体4aにそれぞれ電気的に接続させたリードタブ7を外装体6の外部に突出させる。
<Encapsulation in exterior body 6>
After forming one or more sets of the precursors B, the precursors B are temporarily sealed with the exterior body 6. The kind of the exterior body 6 is not specifically limited, The metal or resin exterior body 6 used for a well-known lithium ion secondary battery is employable. In this embodiment, a resin film is used as the exterior body 6 to obtain a sheet-type cell in which the precursor B is laminated. In the temporary sealing of the cell, the lead tab 7 electrically connected to the negative electrode current collector 2 a and the positive electrode current collector 4 a is protruded to the outside of the exterior body 6.

ラミネートセルは、仮封止を部分的に解いて、電解質を注入した後に完全に封止する。電解質は、ゲル状又は液状であることが好ましく、液状の電解液であることがより好ましい。ゲル状又は液状であると、リチウム供給体5から溶出したリチウム金属又はリチウムイオンの電解質内における拡散効率が高まり、リチウムプレドープの処理効率が向上する。   The laminate cell is completely sealed after partially releasing the temporary sealing and injecting the electrolyte. The electrolyte is preferably in the form of a gel or liquid, and more preferably a liquid electrolyte. When it is in a gel or liquid state, the diffusion efficiency of lithium metal or lithium ions eluted from the lithium supply body 5 in the electrolyte is increased, and the processing efficiency of lithium pre-doping is improved.

(電解液について)
本実施形態においては、リチウム供給体5にリチウム金属が含まれるので、電解質としては、水分が実質的に含まれない非水系電解液が好ましい。非水系電解液としては、例えば、非水系溶媒にリチウム塩が溶解された公知の非水系電解液が挙げられる。非水溶媒は、γ−ブチロラクトン等のラクトン化合物;エチレンカーボネート、プロピレンカーボネート、ジメチルカーボネート、ジエチルカーボネート、メチルエチルカーボネート等の炭酸エステル化合物;ギ酸メチル、酢酸メチル、プロピオン酸メチル等のカルボン酸エステル化合物;テトラヒドロフラン、ジメトキシエタン等のエーテル化合物;テトラヒドロフラン、ジメトキシエタン等のエーテル化合物;アセトニトリル等のニトリル化合物;スルホラン等のスルホン化合物、ジメチルホルムアミド等のアミド化合物等、単独または2種類以上を混合して調製される。電解質塩としては、リチウムイオン二次電池において通常用いられるものであれば特に限定されず、例えば、六フッ化リン酸リチウム、過塩素酸リチウム、四フッ化ホウ酸リチウム等のリチウム塩等が挙げられる。電解液のリチウム塩濃度は特に限定されず、例えば、0.5〜2mol/L程度が挙げられる。
(About electrolyte)
In this embodiment, since lithium metal is contained in the lithium supply body 5, the electrolyte is preferably a non-aqueous electrolyte solution that does not substantially contain moisture. Examples of the non-aqueous electrolyte include known non-aqueous electrolytes in which a lithium salt is dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent. The non-aqueous solvent is a lactone compound such as γ-butyrolactone; a carbonic acid ester compound such as ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, or methyl ethyl carbonate; a carboxylic acid ester compound such as methyl formate, methyl acetate, or methyl propionate; Ether compounds such as tetrahydrofuran and dimethoxyethane; ether compounds such as tetrahydrofuran and dimethoxyethane; nitrile compounds such as acetonitrile; sulfone compounds such as sulfolane; amide compounds such as dimethylformamide; . The electrolyte salt is not particularly limited as long as it is usually used in a lithium ion secondary battery. Examples thereof include lithium salts such as lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium perchlorate, and lithium tetrafluoroborate. It is done. The lithium salt concentration of the electrolytic solution is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include about 0.5 to 2 mol / L.

<プレドープ工程>
封止したラミネートセルを所定温度で静置することによって、リチウムプレドープを自然に進行させることができる。この際、ラミネートセルを加圧することにより、リチウムプレドープを更に促進することができる。リチウム供給体5から電解液に溶出したリチウム金属又はリチウムイオンは、負極集電体2aの貫通孔h及び正極集電体4aの貫通孔hを通過して、各負極活物質層2bに拡散及び浸透する。
<Pre-doping process>
Lithium pre-doping can be allowed to proceed naturally by allowing the sealed laminate cell to stand at a predetermined temperature. At this time, the lithium pre-dope can be further promoted by pressurizing the laminate cell. Lithium metal or lithium ions eluted from the lithium supply body 5 into the electrolytic solution pass through the through holes h of the negative electrode current collector 2a and the through holes h of the positive electrode current collector 4a, and diffuse into the negative electrode active material layers 2b. To penetrate.

仮に、リチウム供給体5を前駆体Bの両端(最外層)のみに配するか、前駆体Bの中心に単数配するだけでは、リチウム金属箔の拡散が行われにくい箇所が発生しやすく、リチウムイオンのドープが不均一となる。その結果、リチウムイオン二次電池1の充放電時に反応が先行して進む部分はリチウムが結合することにより物理的に膨張するが、反応し難い部分は膨張しない。このため、不均一な反応は、負極活物質の不均一な膨張によるうねり又は歪みを引き起こし、負極活物質の部分的な剥がれ(ピール)が生じて電池のサイクル特性を低下させることとなる。   If the lithium supply body 5 is disposed only at both ends (outermost layer) of the precursor B or is disposed singly at the center of the precursor B, a portion where the lithium metal foil is difficult to diffuse easily occurs. Ion doping becomes uneven. As a result, the portion where the reaction proceeds first during charging / discharging of the lithium ion secondary battery 1 physically expands due to the bonding of lithium, but the portion which does not easily react does not expand. For this reason, the non-uniform reaction causes undulation or distortion due to non-uniform expansion of the negative electrode active material, causing partial peeling (peeling) of the negative electrode active material and degrading the cycle characteristics of the battery.

一方、本実施形態の製造方法によれば、リチウム金属又はリチウムイオンを各負極活物質層2bに速やかにドープさせることができるため、リチウムイオン二次電池1の初期充電時にリチウム金属又はリチウムイオンが略均一にドープされた状態にすることができる。そのため、本実施形態の製造方法は、リチウムイオン二次電池1の充放電による負極活物質の膨張収縮が均一に行われ易く、サイクル後の負極2のピール強度も均一となり、結果としてサイクル特性を向上させることができるという効果を奏する。   On the other hand, according to the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, lithium metal or lithium ions can be quickly doped into each negative electrode active material layer 2b. A substantially uniformly doped state can be obtained. Therefore, in the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, the expansion and contraction of the negative electrode active material due to charging / discharging of the lithium ion secondary battery 1 is easily performed, and the peel strength of the negative electrode 2 after cycling becomes uniform, resulting in cycle characteristics. There is an effect that it can be improved.

なお、前駆体Bの最外層に位置する負極2及び正極4の外表面側にセパレータ3を介してリチウム供給体5を積層するとなおよい。リチウム供給体5をこのように配することで、電極対Aに対してリチウムイオンを積層方向の双方から拡散させ、より速やかにドープを行うことができる。   In addition, it is more preferable that the lithium supply body 5 is laminated on the outer surface side of the negative electrode 2 and the positive electrode 4 positioned in the outermost layer of the precursor B via the separator 3. By arranging the lithium supply body 5 in this manner, lithium ions can be diffused from both sides of the electrode pair A in the stacking direction, and doping can be performed more quickly.

負極2へのリチウムドープのムラ(バラつき)は、リチウムドープ後に充放電された負極2の最大の剥離強度と最小の剥離強度との差(すなわち剥離強度の差異の最大値)を測定することで行った。
(Peeling strength of the negative electrode 2 of the lithium ion secondary battery 1)
The unevenness (variation) of lithium doping to the negative electrode 2 is determined by measuring the difference between the maximum peel strength and the minimum peel strength of the negative electrode 2 charged and discharged after lithium doping (that is, the maximum difference in peel strength). went.

すなわち、負極2へのリチウムドープのムラ(バラつき)が大きいと、充放電によりバルクとしては、リチウムの吸蔵量(ドープ量)が均一になっていたとしても、充放電による電極体積の膨張収縮による歪にて電極が劣化し、その負極2の剥離強度の差として現れる。そこで、負極2へのリチウムドープのムラ(バラつき)は次のように測定した。   That is, if the unevenness (variation) of lithium dope in the negative electrode 2 is large, even if the occlusion amount (dope amount) of lithium is uniform as a result of charge / discharge, the expansion / contraction of the electrode volume due to charge / discharge The electrode deteriorates due to strain and appears as a difference in peel strength of the negative electrode 2. Therefore, the unevenness (variation) of lithium dope in the negative electrode 2 was measured as follows.

充放電後のリチウムイオン二次電池の負極2(出荷時に0.2Cにて3サイクル充放電後と規定)を、90度剥離試験機(TE−3001:テスター産業(株)製)にて、剥離強度を測定した。

The negative electrode 2 of the lithium ion secondary battery after charging / discharging (defined as after 3 cycles of charging / discharging at 0.2 C at the time of shipment) was subjected to a 90-degree peel tester (TE-3001: manufactured by Tester Sangyo Co., Ltd.) The peel strength was measured.
A 19 mm wide double-sided tape (SPG-19: manufactured by 3M Japan Co., Ltd.) is affixed to the base of an aluminum plate, which is a measurement unit of the testing machine, and the negative electrode 2 is affixed thereon. The end of the negative electrode 2 was sandwiched and pulled once. In the measurement, the peripheral part and the central part of the negative electrode 2 of each layer were separated, and the difference in peel strength of the negative electrode 2 was measured.

周辺部は、例えば、負極2の端縁から内側に約1/3までの領域とし、残りの約1/3の領域を中央部とすることが出来る。具体的に、本実施例では、巾19mmのテープを負極2の端縁に合わせて貼着し、剥離して周辺部の測定を行った。また、負極2の一辺及びこれに交叉する辺の中心点に両面テープの幅方向の中心が合うようにしてテープを貼着し、剥離して中央部の測定を行った。剥離速度は、30mm/分とし、剥離角度は90度とし、剥離時の剥離強度を測定した。なお、圧着は金属のローラーで行った。   The peripheral portion can be, for example, a region extending about 1/3 from the edge of the negative electrode 2 to the inside, and the remaining approximately 1/3 region can be the central portion. Specifically, in this example, a tape having a width of 19 mm was attached to the edge of the negative electrode 2 and peeled to measure the peripheral portion. Moreover, the tape was stuck so that the center of the width direction of the double-sided tape was aligned with the center point of one side of the negative electrode 2 and the side intersecting with this, and the center portion was measured by peeling. The peeling speed was 30 mm / min, the peeling angle was 90 degrees, and the peeling strength at the time of peeling was measured. The crimping was performed with a metal roller.

上記各実施例1−4および比較例1,2のリチウムドープの完了までに要した時間,100サイクル時の容量維持率及び負極2の最大剥離強度差の評価結果は表1に示すとおりである。   Table 1 shows the evaluation results of the time required for completion of lithium doping in each of the above Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the capacity retention ratio at 100 cycles, and the maximum peel strength difference of the negative electrode 2. .

Figure 2016181363
Figure 2016181363

上記の結果から、実施例1−4のリチウムプレドープ方法によれば、ドープの完了までを8時間以内と比較的短時間とすることができた。また、実施例1−4のリチウムプレドープ方法によれば、負極活物質層2bの剥離強度の差異を0.040N/mm以下(すなわち略一定)とし、均質で優れた構造的強度の電極が得られることが分かった。また、実施例1−4のリチウムプレドープ方法によれば、容量維持率80%以上と高度にすることができることが分かった。   From the above results, according to the lithium pre-doping method of Example 1-4, the completion of the doping could be made within a relatively short time of 8 hours or less. Moreover, according to the lithium pre-doping method of Example 1-4, the difference in peel strength of the negative electrode active material layer 2b is 0.040 N / mm or less (that is, substantially constant), and an electrode having a uniform and excellent structural strength is obtained. It turns out that it is obtained. Moreover, according to the lithium pre dope method of Example 1-4, it turned out that a capacity | capacitance maintenance factor can be made high with 80% or more.

一方、比較例1,2のリチウムプレドープ方法では、リチウムが完全に溶け切らず、負極活物質層2bの剥離強度の最大の差異が0.050以上と大きく、更に中央部の方が周辺部よりも剥離強度が小さかったことから、リチウムプレドープが不均一となっていることが分かった。また、容量維持率が50%以下と低く、リチウムプレドープによる負極活物質層2bの損傷が生じていることが分かった。   On the other hand, in the lithium pre-doping methods of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, lithium is not completely melted, the maximum difference in peel strength of the negative electrode active material layer 2b is as large as 0.050 or more, and the central part is the peripheral part. Since the peel strength was lower than that, it was found that the lithium pre-dope was non-uniform. In addition, it was found that the capacity retention rate was as low as 50% or less, and the negative electrode active material layer 2b was damaged by lithium pre-doping.

以上本発明の実施形態について、リチウム供給体5を4ユニットごとの電極対Aの間隔を空けて配した場合を例として説明したが、リチウム供給体5は、1ユニット以上総ユニット数/2以下の整数以下のユニット間隔を設けて配されていればよい。   As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described by taking as an example the case where the lithium supply body 5 is arranged with an interval between the electrode pairs A every 4 units. However, the lithium supply body 5 is 1 unit or more and the total number of units / 2 or less. It suffices if they are arranged with a unit interval equal to or less than the integer.

具体的には、リチウム供給体5は、例えば電極対Aの総ユニットが3ユニットである場合は、3/2が1.5であるため、1ユニット毎に配されていればよく、電極対Aの総ユニットが4ユニットから5ユニットである場合は、1ユニット間隔以上2ユニット間隔以下でリチウム箔がリチウムイオンの拡散が均質に行われる位置に配されていればよい。また、例えば電極対Aの総ユニットが18ユニットの場合、1ユニット間隔以上9ユニット間隔以下でリチウム箔が配されていればよい。
このようにリチウム供給体5を配することで、リチウムイオンの移動距離を最長でも前駆体B全体の積層長さの半分以下に抑え、リチウムドープを速やかかつ効率的に行うことができる。
Specifically, for example, when the total unit of the electrode pair A is 3 units, the lithium supply body 5 has only to be arranged for each unit because 3/2 is 1.5. When the total unit of A is from 4 units to 5 units, it is only necessary that the lithium foil is disposed at a position where the lithium ions are uniformly diffused at intervals of 1 unit or more and 2 units or less. Further, for example, when the total number of electrode pairs A is 18 units, it is sufficient that the lithium foil is arranged at intervals of 1 unit or more and 9 units or less.
By arranging the lithium supply body 5 in this way, lithium ion can be rapidly and efficiently performed by suppressing the movement distance of lithium ions to half or less of the total lamination length of the precursor B at the longest.
