Description

本発明はラミネートフィルムからなる外装体内に発電素子を収納してなるラミネート型蓄電素子の製造方法と当該方法によって製造されたラミネート型蓄電素子に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a laminate-type energy storage device in which a power generation element is housed in an outer package made of a laminate film, and a laminate-type energy storage device manufactured by the method.

近年、例えば、ワンタイムパスワード機能やディスプレイを搭載したＩＣカード、ディスプレイ付きのＩＣカード、あるいはタグやトークン（ワンタイムパスワード生成機）など、電源を内蔵しながら極めて薄型の電子機器（以下、薄型電子機器）が実用化されてきている。そしてこれらの薄型電子機器の実現には電源となる蓄電素子（一次電池、二次電池、電気二重層コンデンサーなど）の小型薄型が必須の要件であり、その小型薄型化に適した蓄電素子としてラミネート型蓄電素子がある。   In recent years, for example, an IC card with a one-time password function or display, an IC card with a display, or a tag or token (one-time password generator), etc. Equipment) has been put into practical use. In order to realize these thin electronic devices, it is essential to have a small and thin power storage element (primary battery, secondary battery, electric double layer capacitor, etc.) as a power source. Type storage element.

図１に一般的なラミネート型蓄電素子を示した。図１（Ａ）はラミネート型蓄電素子１０１の外観図であり、図１（Ｂ）は当該蓄電素子１０１の内部構造の一例を示す分解斜視図である。ラミネート型蓄電素子１０１は、図１（Ａ）に示したように平板状の外観形状を有し、ラミネートフィルムが扁平な矩形袋状に成形されてなる外装体１１内に発電要素が密封されている。またここに示したラミネート型蓄電素子１０１では、矩形の外装体１１の一辺１３から正極端子板２３および負極端子板３３が外方に導出されている。   FIG. 1 shows a general laminated storage element. 1A is an external view of a laminate type power storage element 101, and FIG. 1B is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the internal structure of the power storage element 101. FIG. As shown in FIG. 1A, the laminate-type energy storage device 101 has a flat external shape, and a power generation element is sealed in an exterior body 11 in which a laminate film is formed into a flat rectangular bag shape. Yes. Moreover, in the laminate type electrical storage element 101 shown here, the positive electrode terminal plate 23 and the negative electrode terminal plate 33 are led out from one side 13 of the rectangular outer package 11.

つぎに図１（Ｂ）を参照しつつラミネート型蓄電素子１０１の構造について説明する。なお図１（Ｂ）では一部の部材や部位にハッチングを施し、他の部材や部位と区別しやすいようにしている。この図１（Ｂ）に示したように、外装体１１内には、シート状の正極２０とシート状の負極３０がセパレーター４０を介して積層されてなる電極体１０が電解液とともに封入されている。正極２０は金属板や金属箔からなる正極集電体２１の一主面に正極活物質を含んだ正極材料２２を配置したものであり、負極３０は金属板や金属箔などからなる負極集電体３１の一主面に負極活物質を含んだ負極材料３２を配置したものである。そして電極体１０は、正極２０と負極３０をそれぞれの電極材料（２２、３２）が対面するように、セパレーター４０を介して積層、圧着（あるいはセパレーター４０に溶着）されたものである。   Next, the structure of the laminate type power storage element 101 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1B, some members and parts are hatched so that they can be easily distinguished from other members and parts. As shown in FIG. 1B, an electrode body 10 formed by laminating a sheet-like positive electrode 20 and a sheet-like negative electrode 30 with a separator 40 interposed between the outer body 11 and an electrolytic solution. Yes. The positive electrode 20 includes a positive electrode current collector 21 made of a metal plate or metal foil and a positive electrode material 22 containing a positive electrode active material disposed on one main surface. The negative electrode 30 is made of a negative electrode current collector made of a metal plate or metal foil. A negative electrode material 32 containing a negative electrode active material is disposed on one main surface of the body 31. The electrode body 10 is formed by laminating and pressing (or welding) the positive electrode 20 and the negative electrode 30 through the separator 40 so that the respective electrode materials (22, 32) face each other.

外装体１１は、互いに重ね合わせた矩形状の二枚のアルミラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）において図中網掛けのハッチングまたは点線の枠で示した周縁領域１２が熱圧着法により溶着されて内部が密閉されたものである。ラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）は、周知のごとく、基材となる金属箔（アルミ箔、ステンレス箔）の表裏に１層以上の樹脂層が積層された構造となっており、一般的には、一方の面に例えばポリアミド樹脂などからなる保護層が積層され、他方の面には例えばポリプロピレンなどの熱溶着性を有する接着層が積層された構造を有している。   The exterior body 11 has a rectangular aluminum laminate film (11a, 11b) that is overlapped with each other, and a peripheral area 12 indicated by hatching or a dotted line frame in the figure is welded by a thermocompression bonding method. It is sealed. As is well known, the laminate films (11a, 11b) have a structure in which one or more resin layers are laminated on the front and back of a metal foil (aluminum foil, stainless steel foil) serving as a base material. For example, a protective layer made of polyamide resin or the like is laminated on one surface, and an adhesive layer having a heat-welding property such as polypropylene is laminated on the other surface.

２枚のラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）を扁平袋状の外装体１１に成形しつつ、当該外装体１１内に電極体１０を収納する手順としては、例えば、矩形平面形状を有して互いに対面する２枚のラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）間に電極体１０を配置するとともに、矩形の３辺同士を溶着して残りの一辺側が開口した袋状に形成する。また当該３辺の内の一辺１３については正負両極（２０、３０）の端子板（２３、３３）を外装体１１外に突出させた状態で溶着する。このようにして矩形の一辺が開口する袋状に形成されたラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）内に電解液を注入したならば、開口している一辺の周縁領域１２を溶着し、図１（Ａ）に示したラミネート型蓄電素子１０１を完成させる。   As a procedure for housing the electrode body 10 in the exterior body 11 while forming the two laminated films (11a, 11b) into the flat bag-shaped exterior body 11, for example, they have a rectangular planar shape and face each other. The electrode body 10 is disposed between the two laminated films (11a, 11b) to be formed, and the three sides of the rectangle are welded to form a bag shape with the remaining one side opened. Further, one side 13 of the three sides is welded in a state in which the terminal plates (23, 33) of both positive and negative poles (20, 30) are projected out of the exterior body 11. When the electrolyte is injected into the laminated film (11a, 11b) formed in a bag shape with one side opened in this way, the peripheral region 12 on one side opened is welded, and FIG. The laminate type energy storage device 101 shown in FIG.

ところで正極材料２２および負極材料３２が積層されている正極集電体２１および負極集電体３１は、当然のことながら正極端子板２３および負極端子板３３に電気的に接続されており、その正極２０および負極３０の端子板（以下、電極端子板（２３、３３）とも言う）は密封状態にある外装体１１外に導出されている。そのため外装体１１において電極端子板（２３、３３）が導出されている縁辺１３ではラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）の接着層同士を溶着させただけでは電極端子板（２３、３３）とラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）との密着強度を十分に確保できない場合がある。また電極端子板（２３、３３）が導出されている縁辺１３では、その電極端子板（２３、３３）の厚さ方向に渡って接着層を溶融させた状態で介在させることが難しく、当該縁辺１３が十分に封止されず防水性が低下する可能性がある。そのためラミネート型蓄電素子１０１では、外装体１１において電極端子板（２３、３３）が導出される縁辺１３を確実に封止するための構造を備えている。そして電極端子板（２３、３３）を外装体１１外に導出させつつ当該外装体１１を密封する方法としては、概ねタブリード５０を電極端子板（２３、３３）として用いる方法と、正極２０および負極３０の集電体（２１、３１）に帯状の金属箔や金属板（以下、端子リード）を取り付け、その端子リードをそのまま電極端子板（２３、３３）として用いる方法がある。なお図１（Ｂ）ではタブリード５０を用いた方法が示されており、正極集電体２１と負極集電体３１のそれぞれにタブリード５０からなる電極端子板（２３、３３）が接続されている。タブリード５０は、以下の特許文献１にも記載されているように、実質的な電極端子板（２３、３３）である金属板や金属箔などからなる帯状の端子リード５１の延長途上に、絶縁樹脂製のシール剤（以下、タブフィルム５２）が当該端子リード５１を狭持するように接着された構造を有している。端子リード５１の一方の端部５３は外装体１１の外側に露出し、他方の端部は正極集電体２１および負極集電体３１の一部に超音波溶着などの方法によって接続されている。もちろん正極集電体２１および負極集電体３１に別体の帯状の金属板や金属箔を取り付け、その金属板や金属箔にさらにタブリード５０を接続することもできる。そして互いに対面し合うラミネートフィルム（１１ ａ、１１ｂ）の周縁領域１２を熱圧着して扁平袋状の外装体１１に成形する際、外装体１１の周縁領域１２において、電極端子板（２３、３３）が突出する側の縁辺１３ではタブリード５０のタブフィルム５２をラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）とともに熱溶着する。それによって当該縁辺１３では端子リード５１に溶着されているタブフィルム５２がラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）の接着層に溶着されている。   Incidentally, the positive electrode current collector 21 and the negative electrode current collector 31 on which the positive electrode material 22 and the negative electrode material 32 are laminated are naturally connected to the positive electrode terminal plate 23 and the negative electrode terminal plate 33, and the positive electrode 20 and the terminal plate of the negative electrode 30 (hereinafter also referred to as electrode terminal plates (23, 33)) are led out of the outer package 11 in a sealed state. For this reason, the electrode terminal plates (23, 33) and the laminate film (23, 33) can be bonded to the edge 13 where the electrode terminal plates (23, 33) are led out in the outer package 11 by simply welding the adhesive layers of the laminate films (11a, 11b). 11a and 11b) may not be able to ensure sufficient adhesion strength. Further, at the edge 13 from which the electrode terminal plate (23, 33) is led out, it is difficult to interpose the adhesive layer in a melted state over the thickness direction of the electrode terminal plate (23, 33). 13 may not be sufficiently sealed and the waterproofness may be reduced. For this reason, the laminate-type energy storage device 101 has a structure for reliably sealing the edge 13 from which the electrode terminal plates (23, 33) are led out in the exterior body 11. And as a method of sealing the exterior body 11 while deriving the electrode terminal plate (23, 33) out of the exterior body 11, a method of using the tab lead 50 as the electrode terminal plate (23, 33), a positive electrode 20 and a negative electrode There is a method in which a strip-shaped metal foil or a metal plate (hereinafter referred to as a terminal lead) is attached to 30 current collectors (21, 31), and the terminal lead is used as it is as an electrode terminal plate (23, 33). FIG. 1B shows a method using a tab lead 50, and electrode terminal plates (23, 33) each composed of a tab lead 50 are connected to each of the positive electrode current collector 21 and the negative electrode current collector 31. . As described in Patent Document 1 below, the tab lead 50 is insulated on the way of extension of the strip-shaped terminal lead 51 made of a metal plate or a metal foil which is a substantial electrode terminal plate (23, 33). A resin sealant (hereinafter referred to as a tab film 52) has a structure in which the terminal lead 51 is bonded. One end 53 of the terminal lead 51 is exposed to the outside of the outer package 11, and the other end is connected to a part of the positive electrode current collector 21 and the negative electrode current collector 31 by a method such as ultrasonic welding. . Of course, a separate strip-shaped metal plate or metal foil may be attached to the positive electrode current collector 21 and the negative electrode current collector 31, and the tab lead 50 may be further connected to the metal plate or metal foil. When the peripheral regions 12 of the laminate films (11a, 11b) facing each other are thermocompression bonded to form a flat bag-shaped exterior body 11, the electrode terminal plates (23, 33) are formed in the peripheral region 12 of the exterior body 11. The tab film 52 of the tab lead 50 is heat-welded together with the laminate films (11a, 11b) at the edge 13 on the side from which the projections) protrude. Thereby, the tab film 52 welded to the terminal lead 51 is welded to the adhesive layer of the laminate film (11a, 11b) at the edge 13.

一方タブリードを用いず、端子リードのみをそのまま電極端子板として用いる方法もある。図２に当該方法によって作製されるラミネート型蓄電素子２０１の分解斜視図を示した。図２に示したように、外装体１１の周縁領域１２において、リード導体そのものからなる電極端子板（２３、３３）が導出されている縁辺１３に、帯状のタブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）をラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）の裏面にあらかじめ溶着した状態で熱圧着しておいた上で、ラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）の周縁領域１２を熱圧着して外装体１１を成形している。すなわち互いに対面するラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）において、電極端子板（２３、３３）が導出されている縁辺１３ではこの帯状のタブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）を介してラミネートフィルム同士（１１ａ−１１ｂ）が接着されている。なおラミネート型蓄電素子の構造などについては、例えば以下の特許文献２に記載されている。また以下の非特許文献１には実際に市販されているラミネート型蓄電素子である薄型リチウム電池の特徴や放電性能などが記載されている。   On the other hand, there is a method in which only the terminal lead is used as it is as the electrode terminal plate without using the tab lead. FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of a laminate type energy storage device 201 manufactured by the method. As shown in FIG. 2, in the peripheral region 12 of the outer package 11, the strip-shaped tab films (14a, 14b) are laminated on the edge 13 from which the electrode terminal plates (23, 33) made of the lead conductors are led out. The outer body 11 is formed by thermocompression bonding of the peripheral region 12 of the laminate film (11a, 11b) after being thermocompression bonded in a state of being previously welded to the back surface of the film (11a, 11b). That is, in the laminated film (11a, 11b) facing each other, the laminated film (11a-11b) is interposed between the strip-shaped tab films (14a, 14b) at the edge 13 where the electrode terminal plates (23, 33) are led out. Is glued. Note that the structure of the laminate-type power storage element is described in, for example, Patent Document 2 below. Non-Patent Document 1 below describes the characteristics and discharge performance of a thin lithium battery that is a laminate-type energy storage device that is actually commercially available.

ＦＤＫ株式会社、”薄型リチウム一次電池”、[online]、[平成２７年１２月９日検索]、インターネット＜ＵＲＬ：http://www.fdk.co.jp/battery/lithium/lithium_thin.html＞FDK Corporation, “Thin Lithium Primary Battery”, [online], [Searched on December 9, 2015], Internet <URL: http://www.fdk.co.jp/battery/lithium/lithium_thin.html>

上述したように、ラミネート型蓄電素子では、対面するラミネートフィルム同士を熱圧着することで扁平袋状に成形された外装体から電極端子板を導出させた構造を有し、外装体を封止しつつ当該外装体から電極端子板を導出させるための方法としては、タブリードを用いた方法（以下、タブリード法とも言う）と、端子リードのみからなる電極端子板と裏面の一辺に帯状のタブフィルムが溶着されたラミネートフィルムとを用いる方法（以下、タブフィルム法とも言う）とがある。   As described above, the laminate-type energy storage device has a structure in which the electrode terminal plate is led out from the outer package formed into a flat bag shape by thermocompression bonding the facing laminate films, and the outer package is sealed. On the other hand, as a method for deriving the electrode terminal plate from the outer package, a method using a tab lead (hereinafter also referred to as a tab lead method), an electrode terminal plate consisting only of terminal leads, and a strip-shaped tab film on one side of the back surface are provided. There is a method (hereinafter also referred to as a tab film method) using a laminated film that has been welded.

まず後者のタブフィルム法は、ラミネートフィルムにおいて電極端子板が導出される縁辺（以下、端子側縁辺とも言う）にあらかじめ帯状のタブフィルムを溶着させておき、その帯状のタブフィルム間に金属製の電極端子板を介在させた状態で端子側縁辺を含むラミネートフィルムの周縁領域を熱圧着している。そのため端子側縁辺側の周縁領域では、ラミネートフィルムを熱圧着した際の熱が外装体の内方にまで十分に伝わらず、タブフィルムの溶融に必要な熱量が不足し、電極端子板とタブフィルムとの密着性が不十分になる可能性がある。また十分にタブフィルムを溶融させるために高い温度で熱圧着を行うと、ラミネートフィルムの保護層が損傷する可能性がある。保護層が損傷すればラミネートフィルムを構成する金属箔が空気中の水分などに触れて腐食し、漏液に至る場合もある。また高温での熱圧着は外装体内部の電極体を損傷させる原因にもなる。   First, in the latter tab film method, a band-shaped tab film is welded in advance to an edge (hereinafter also referred to as a terminal-side edge) from which an electrode terminal plate is led out in a laminate film, and a metal plate is formed between the band-shaped tab films. The peripheral region of the laminate film including the terminal side edge is thermocompression bonded with the electrode terminal plate interposed. Therefore, in the peripheral area on the terminal side edge side, the heat at the time of thermocompression bonding of the laminate film is not sufficiently transmitted to the inside of the exterior body, the amount of heat necessary for melting the tab film is insufficient, and the electrode terminal plate and the tab film Adhesion may be insufficient. Moreover, if the thermocompression bonding is performed at a high temperature in order to sufficiently melt the tab film, the protective layer of the laminate film may be damaged. If the protective layer is damaged, the metal foil constituting the laminate film may be corroded by contact with moisture in the air, leading to leakage. Further, thermocompression bonding at a high temperature may cause damage to the electrode body inside the outer package.

一方タブリード法では、工場生産によって蓄電素子とは個別に製造されているタブリードを用いており、そのタブリードでは、電極端子板となる端子リードの一部にタブフィルムが強固に密着している。そのため外装体を封止する際には、ラミネートフィルムの接着層が溶融する程度の温度と圧力でタブフィルムがラミネートフィルムに容易に溶着される。すなわち高い密着強度で電極端子の導出領域を封止することができる。しかし電極集電体にタブリードの端子リードを超音波溶着するため、ラミネート型蓄電素子を組み立てる際の工数が増加する。高価な超音波溶着機も必要となる。もちろんタブリード自体が一つの製品として販売されている部材であるため、タブフィルム法に用いた端子リードとタブフィルムに係る部材コストよりも高くなることが多い。また極めて小型で薄型のラミネート型蓄電素子では電極集電体に端子リードを取り付ける際に高い位置精度が要求され、このこともコストアップの要因となる。なお位置精度に関してはタブフィルム法でも同じことが言える。   On the other hand, in the tab lead method, a tab lead manufactured separately from the storage element by factory production is used, and in the tab lead, the tab film is firmly adhered to a part of the terminal lead serving as the electrode terminal plate. Therefore, when sealing the exterior body, the tab film is easily welded to the laminate film at such a temperature and pressure that the adhesive layer of the laminate film is melted. That is, the lead-out region of the electrode terminal can be sealed with high adhesion strength. However, since the tab lead terminal lead is ultrasonically welded to the electrode current collector, the number of man-hours for assembling the laminate-type energy storage device increases. An expensive ultrasonic welder is also required. Of course, since the tab lead itself is a member sold as one product, the cost is often higher than the member cost for the terminal lead and the tab film used in the tab film method. In addition, extremely small and thin laminate-type energy storage devices require high positional accuracy when attaching terminal leads to the electrode current collector, which also increases costs. The same can be said for the positional accuracy in the tab film method.

そこで本発明は、コストアップを伴わずに、ラミネートフィルムや電極体の損傷を防止しつつ、外装体において電極端子板が導出されている周縁領域を十分に高い密着強度で封止することができるラミネート型蓄電素子の製造方法と当該方法で製造されたラミネート型蓄電素子を提供することを目的としている。   Therefore, the present invention can seal the peripheral region where the electrode terminal plate is led out in the exterior body with sufficiently high adhesion strength while preventing damage to the laminate film and the electrode body without increasing the cost. It aims at providing the manufacturing method of a lamination type electrical storage element, and the lamination type electrical storage element manufactured by the said method.

上記目的を達成するための本発明は、扁平袋状に成形された外装体内にシート状の正極と負極がセパレーターを介して積層された電極体が電解液とともに密封されているとともに、前記外装体の所定の縁辺から電極端子板が導出されてなるラミネート型蓄電素子の製造方法であって、

＝＝＝実施例に係る製造方法＝＝＝
本発明の実施例に係る蓄電素子の製造方法は、概略的には、電極体における正極と負極の電極端子部に帯状のタブフィルムを熱圧着により溶着させる工程と、この工程によってタブフィルムが端子部に溶着された状態の電極体を対面するラミネートフィルム間に配置して、そのラミネートフィルムの周縁領域を熱圧着により溶着する工程とが含まれている。そして以下では図３（Ｂ）にて示したように、電極体１０の積層方向を上下方向とするとともに、セパレーター４０に対して正極２０が下方にあるものとして上下の各方向を規定することとして、本発明の実施例に係る蓄電素子の製造方法を説明する。図４は本発明に係る蓄電素子の製造方法の実施例の一つを示す図であり、図４（Ａ）〜（Ｆ）にその製造手順を示した。まず図４（Ａ）に示したように正極２０における端子部２４の基端側下面に帯状のタブフィルム１４ａを当該端子部２４を横断する方向に位置合わせしつつ積層する。なおタブフィルム１４ａの位置は、最終的に外装体１１の周縁領域１２において、端子側縁辺１３に沿う位置である。またここではその後の工程でタブフィルム１４ａの位置がずれないように、正極２０の端子部（以下、正極端子部２４とも言う）の上面の一部に半田ごて当てるなどしてタブフィルム１４ａを当該正極端子部２４に仮溶着している。 === Manufacturing Method According to Example ===
The method for manufacturing a power storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention is generally composed of a step of welding a strip-shaped tab film to the electrode terminal portions of the positive electrode and the negative electrode in the electrode body by thermocompression bonding, and the tab film is a terminal by this step. A step of disposing the electrode body welded to the portion between the facing laminate films and welding the peripheral area of the laminate film by thermocompression bonding. In the following, as shown in FIG. 3B, the stacking direction of the electrode body 10 is set as the vertical direction, and the vertical direction is defined as the positive electrode 20 being below the separator 40. The manufacturing method of the electrical storage element which concerns on the Example of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 4 is a view showing one example of a method for manufacturing a power storage device according to the present invention, and the manufacturing procedure is shown in FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 4A, a strip-shaped tab film 14 a is laminated on the bottom surface of the base end side of the terminal portion 24 in the positive electrode 20 while being aligned in a direction crossing the terminal portion 24. In addition, the position of the tab film 14a is a position along the terminal side edge 13 in the peripheral area 12 of the exterior body 11 finally. Also, here, the tab film 14a is applied to a part of the upper surface of the terminal portion of the positive electrode 20 (hereinafter also referred to as the positive electrode terminal portion 24) so that the position of the tab film 14a does not shift in the subsequent steps. Temporarily welded to the positive electrode terminal portion 24.

次に図４（Ｂ）に示したように、電極体１０を構成する各部材（セパレーター４０、負極３０）を正極２０の上方に順次積層して電極体１０を形成する。ここでは各部材（４０、３０）を順次積層するそれぞれの工程で、その都度、各部材（４０、３０）の上面にブロック状のヒーターなどを押し当てるなどして部材同士（４０−２０、２０−４０）を仮溶着する。なおこのような電極体１０の形成手順は従来の蓄電素子の製造方法でも採用されている。さらに図４（Ｃ）に示したように、最下層のタブフィルム１４ａと対面させるように、負極３０の端子部（以下、負極端子部３４とも言う）の上面にもタブフィルム１４ｂを配置し、正極端子部２４と負極端子部３４を一括して２枚のタブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）によって狭持する。そして正極端子部２４と負極端子部３４を介して積層されている２枚のタブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）の上下両側からヒーターを内蔵したブロック状の治具などを用いて熱圧着する。ここでは１５０℃の温度と０．２ＭＰａの圧力で熱圧着している。それによって正極端子部２４と負極端子部３４にタブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）が強固に接着されるとともに、２枚のタブフィルム同士（１４ａ―１４ｂ）も溶着して正極端子部２４と負極端子部３４を横断する当該タブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）の介在領域の全域が確実に封止される。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, each member (separator 40 and negative electrode 30) constituting the electrode body 10 is sequentially stacked above the positive electrode 20 to form the electrode body 10. Here, in each step of sequentially laminating the members (40, 30), each time the members (40-20, 20) are pressed against each other by pressing a block heater or the like on the upper surface of each member (40, 30). −40) is temporarily welded. Such a procedure for forming the electrode body 10 is also employed in a conventional method for manufacturing a power storage element. Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the tab film 14b is arranged on the upper surface of the terminal portion of the negative electrode 30 (hereinafter also referred to as the negative electrode terminal portion 34) so as to face the lowermost tab film 14a. The positive electrode terminal portion 24 and the negative electrode terminal portion 34 are held together by two tab films (14a, 14b). Then, thermocompression bonding is performed from the upper and lower sides of the two tab films (14a, 14b) laminated via the positive electrode terminal portion 24 and the negative electrode terminal portion 34 using a block-shaped jig with a built-in heater. Here, thermocompression bonding is performed at a temperature of 150 ° C. and a pressure of 0.2 MPa. As a result, the tab films (14a, 14b) are firmly bonded to the positive electrode terminal portion 24 and the negative electrode terminal portion 34, and the two tab films (14a-14b) are also welded to each other, thereby the positive electrode terminal portion 24 and the negative electrode terminal portion. 34, the entire intervening region of the tab film (14a, 14b) crossing 34 is securely sealed.

つぎに図４（Ｄ）に示したように、正極端子部２４と負極端子部３４にタブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）が接着された状態の電極体１０を、互いに対面する２枚のラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）で狭持する。ここではまず負極３０の上面にラミネートフィルム１１ｂを貼り付けたのち、このラミネートフィルム１１ｂに対面させるように正極２０の下面にラミネートフィルム１１ａを貼り付ける。さらに図４（Ｅ）に示したように、互いに対面する矩形のラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）の周縁領域１２において、端子側縁辺１３を含む三つの縁辺（１３、１５）側を熱圧着することで一辺１６に開口１７を有する袋状の外装体１１に成形する。ここでは端子側縁辺１３に対向する縁辺１６側に開口１７を設ける。そしてこの開口１７から袋状の外装体１１内に電解液を注入するとともに、開口１７が設けられていた縁辺１６を減圧環境化で熱溶着して図４（Ｆ）に示した蓄電素子１ａを完成させる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4D, the electrode body 10 in a state in which the tab films (14a, 14b) are bonded to the positive electrode terminal portion 24 and the negative electrode terminal portion 34 is bonded to two laminated films ( 11a, 11b). Here, first, the laminate film 11b is attached to the upper surface of the negative electrode 30, and then the laminate film 11a is attached to the lower surface of the positive electrode 20 so as to face the laminate film 11b. Further, as shown in FIG. 4E, in the peripheral region 12 of the rectangular laminate films (11a, 11b) facing each other, the three edges (13, 15) including the terminal side edge 13 are thermocompression bonded. To form a bag-shaped exterior body 11 having an opening 17 on one side 16. Here, an opening 17 is provided on the edge 16 side facing the terminal side edge 13. And while inject | pouring electrolyte solution into the bag-shaped exterior body 11 from this opening 17, the edge 16 in which the opening 17 was provided is heat-welded by pressure reduction environment, and the electrical storage element 1a shown to FIG. Finalize.

このように実施例に係る蓄電素子の製造方法では、あらかじめ芯体（２１、３１）の一部である端子部（２４、３４）を２枚のタブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）で狭持しつつ２枚のタブフィルム同士（１４ａ−１４ｂ）を熱圧着により溶着し、その上でラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）の周縁領域１２を熱圧着により溶着している。そのためタブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）と端子部（２４、３４）およびタブフィルム同士（１４ａ−１４ｂ）が高い強度で密着し、かつタブフィルム（１４ａ、１４ｂ）とラミネートフィルム（１１ａ、１１ｂ）も高い強度で密着する。したがって外装体１１の端子側縁辺１３の周縁領域１２が確実に封止される。また従来の蓄電素子の製造方法とは異なり、電極集電体の芯体が電極端子板を兼ねているので、電極端子板を電極集電体の芯体に超音波溶接などの方法によって取り付ける工程を必要としない。そのため複雑な工程や電極端子板に要する部材コストを低減させることができる。とくに電極端子板をタブリードで構成する場合には部材コストの低減効果が高い。超音波溶接機などの電極端子板を集電体の芯体に溶着するための設備も不要となる。電極端子板として機能する端子部は芯体と一体成形されるため、電極端子板を芯体に取り付ける際に生じる位置ずれが原理的に発生しない。すなわち、電極端子部を外装体に対して高い位置精度で外方に導出させることができる。とくにＩＣカードなどのカード型電子機器に内蔵される極めて小型薄型の蓄電素子の場合、カード型電子機器内の電子回路と蓄電素子の電極端子板との接続には僅かな位置ずれも許容されないため、本実施例の方法で製造される蓄電素子は、外装体に対する電極端子板の相対的な位置ずれが発生し難く、カード型電子機器の電源として極めて好適なものとなっている。   As described above, in the method for manufacturing the power storage device according to the example, the terminal portions (24, 34) that are part of the core (21, 31) are held in advance by the two tab films (14a, 14b). Two tab films (14a-14b) are welded together by thermocompression bonding, and then the peripheral region 12 of the laminate films (11a, 11b) is welded by thermocompression bonding. Therefore, the tab films (14a, 14b), the terminal portions (24, 34), and the tab films (14a-14b) are in close contact with each other with high strength, and the tab films (14a, 14b) and the laminate films (11a, 11b) are also high. Adhere with strength. Therefore, the peripheral region 12 of the terminal side edge 13 of the exterior body 11 is reliably sealed. In addition, unlike the conventional method of manufacturing a storage element, the electrode current collector core also serves as an electrode terminal plate, and therefore the electrode terminal plate is attached to the electrode current collector core by a method such as ultrasonic welding. Do not need. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cost of members required for complicated processes and electrode terminal plates. In particular, when the electrode terminal plate is composed of tab leads, the effect of reducing the member cost is high. Equipment for welding an electrode terminal plate such as an ultrasonic welder to the core of the current collector is also unnecessary. Since the terminal portion functioning as the electrode terminal plate is integrally formed with the core body, the positional deviation that occurs when the electrode terminal plate is attached to the core body does not occur in principle. That is, the electrode terminal portion can be led out with high positional accuracy with respect to the exterior body. In particular, in the case of an extremely small and thin storage element incorporated in a card-type electronic device such as an IC card, a slight misalignment is not allowed for the connection between the electronic circuit in the card-type electronic device and the electrode terminal plate of the storage element. The power storage device manufactured by the method of the present embodiment is hardly suitable for the power source of the card-type electronic device because the relative displacement of the electrode terminal plate with respect to the exterior body hardly occurs.

負極３０は、厚さ１０〜５０μｍの銅箔からなる負極集電体３１の片面にスラリー状の負極材料３２を、正極２０と同様にして５０〜２００μｍの厚さで塗布した後に、真空中１３０℃で乾燥して作製したものである。負極材料３２は、難黒鉛化炭素を負極活物質として、正極と同様の炭素系導電剤と結着剤を固形分の質量比で９０：５：５となるように混合するとともに、その混合物を有機溶剤（ＮＭＰなど）に分解または溶解させながら混練することで調製されたものである。なお電解液にはプロピレンカーボネートに溶質としてＬｉＰＦ６を溶解させたものを用いている。このようにサンプルとして作製したリチウム二次電池は、集電体の構造と外装体における端子側縁辺の封止構造が異なるだけで、充放電反応に関わる構成については、従来のラミネート型リチウム二次電池と同様である。 In the negative electrode 30, a slurry-like negative electrode material 32 is applied to one surface of a negative electrode current collector 31 made of a copper foil having a thickness of 10 to 50 μm in a thickness of 50 to 200 μm in the same manner as the positive electrode 20, and then 130 in vacuum. It was produced by drying at ° C. The negative electrode material 32 is composed of non-graphitizable carbon as a negative electrode active material, and a carbon-based conductive agent and a binder similar to those of the positive electrode are mixed at a solid mass ratio of 90: 5: 5. It is prepared by kneading while dissolving or dissolving in an organic solvent (NMP or the like). Note the electrolytic solution is used that obtained by dissolving LiPF 6 as a solute in propylene carbonate. The lithium secondary battery manufactured as a sample in this way is different from the current collector structure and the sealing structure of the terminal side edge in the exterior body. It is the same as a battery.

Thereby, the lithium secondary battery 1b shown in FIG. 5E is completed.

＜信頼性試験＞
つぎに上述した実施例に係る方法で作製したサンプル（以下、サンプルＡ）と比較例に係る方法で作製したサンプル（以下、サンプルＢ）を３個ずつ作製し、各個体について、正極側および負極側のそれぞれのラミネートフィルム（図３〜図５、符号１１ａおよび１１ｂ）の端子側縁辺（図３〜図５、符号１３）側の周縁領域（図３〜図５、符号１２）に対して引張試験機を用いた接着強度試験を行った。図６に接着強度試験の実施方法の概略を示した。なお図６は正極側のラミネートフィルム１１ａの接着強度を測定する例を示している。まず接着強度試験の実施に先立って蓄電素子（図３、符号１ａ）を負極端子部３４の幅に裁断し、負極端子部３４の基端側も負極集電体（図３（Ｂ）、符号３１）の集電領域から切り離しておく。そして負極端子部３４の導出方向を鉛直方向、すなわち電極体（図３（ｂ）、符号１０）の積層方向に対応する上下方向ではなく、重力の方向に一致させるとともに、負極端子部３４の先端側を鉛直上方に向ける。 <Reliability test>
Next, three samples (hereinafter referred to as sample B) prepared by the method according to the above-described embodiment (hereinafter referred to as sample A) and three samples (hereinafter referred to as sample B) manufactured according to the method according to the comparative example are prepared. Tensile against the peripheral region (FIGS. 3-5, 12) on the terminal side edge (FIGS. 3-5, 13) side of each side laminate film (FIGS. 3-5, 11a and 11b) An adhesion strength test using a testing machine was performed. FIG. 6 shows an outline of a method for performing the adhesive strength test. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the adhesive strength of the laminate film 11a on the positive electrode side is measured. First, prior to carrying out the adhesive strength test, the storage element (FIG. 3, reference numeral 1a) is cut into the width of the negative electrode terminal portion 34, and the base end side of the negative electrode terminal portion 34 is also connected to the negative electrode current collector (FIG. 3B, reference numeral 31) Separated from the current collecting area. The lead-out direction of the negative electrode terminal portion 34 is not the vertical direction corresponding to the vertical direction, that is, the vertical direction corresponding to the stacking direction of the electrode bodies (FIG. 3B, reference numeral 10), but the direction of gravity. Turn side up vertically.

そして負極端子部２４の基端側と負極側のラミネートフィルム１１ｂとをクランプ６０ｄで狭持するとともに、この狭持した状態でクランプ６０ｄを固定する。正極側のラミネートフィルム１１ａについては外装体１１における端子側縁辺１３に対して内方側、すなわちタブフィルム１４ａに接着されている周縁領域１２に対して鉛直下方の端部６１側を鉛直上方へ反転させ、その反転させた端部６１をクランプ６０ｕで挟むとともに、その鉛直上方側のクランプｕを引張試験機に取り付ける。そして当該クランプを図中白抜き矢印で示したように引張試験機により鉛直上方に引っ張る。そして正極側のタブフィルム１４ａとラミネートフィルム１１ａとが剥離したときの接着強度（Ｎ）を正極側の接着強度とした。負極側のラミネートフィルム１１ｂの接着強度については、試験前に蓄電素子から正極端子部（図３（ｂ）、符号２４）に対応する領域を切り出しておき、正極側のラミネートフィルム１１ａと正極端子部の基端側を鉛直下方のクランプ６０ｄで狭持して固定し、負極側のラミネートフィルム１１ｂを狭持した鉛直上方のクランプ６０ｕを引張試験機により鉛直上方に引っ張って接着強度を測定すればよい。   Then, the base end side of the negative electrode terminal portion 24 and the laminate film 11b on the negative electrode side are sandwiched by the clamp 60d, and the clamp 60d is fixed in this sandwiched state. With respect to the laminate film 11a on the positive electrode side, the inner side with respect to the terminal side edge 13 in the exterior body 11, that is, the edge 61 side vertically below the peripheral region 12 bonded to the tab film 14a is inverted vertically upward. Then, the inverted end 61 is sandwiched between the clamps 60u, and the clamp u on the vertically upper side is attached to the tensile testing machine. Then, the clamp is pulled vertically upward by a tensile tester as indicated by the white arrow in the figure. And the adhesive strength (N) when the tab film 14a on the positive electrode side and the laminate film 11a were peeled was defined as the adhesive strength on the positive electrode side. Regarding the adhesive strength of the negative electrode side laminate film 11b, a region corresponding to the positive electrode terminal portion (FIG. 3B, reference numeral 24) is cut out from the power storage element before the test, and the positive electrode side laminate film 11a and the positive electrode terminal portion are cut out. The base end side is clamped and fixed with a clamp 60d vertically below, and the clamp 60u vertically above holding the laminate film 11b on the negative electrode side is pulled vertically upward with a tensile tester to measure the adhesive strength. .

以下の表１に接着強度試験の結果を示した。   Table 1 below shows the results of the adhesive strength test.

Figure 2017134962
表１ではサンプルＡとサンプルＢに属する各個体の正極側および負極側の接着強度の平均値と接着強度（Ｎ）のバラツキを示す標準偏差σが示されている。そしてこの表１に示したように、実施例の方法で作製したサンプルＡは比較例の方法で作製したサンプルＢに対して正極側と負極側の双方で接続強度の平均値が２Ｎ程度高く、外装体における端子側縁辺側の周縁領域が強固に封止されていることが分かった。また標準偏差σはサンプルＢの１．７〜２．１に対してサンプルＡは０．３〜０．６であり、極めて均一な接着強度で封止されていることも確認された。
Figure 2017134962
 Table 1 shows an average value of the positive and negative adhesive strengths of each of the specimens belonging to Sample A and Sample B and a standard deviation σ indicating variations in the adhesive strength (N). And as shown in Table 1, the average value of the connection strength on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side of the sample A produced by the method of the example is about 2N higher than the sample B produced by the method of the comparative example, It turned out that the peripheral area | region of the terminal side edge side in an exterior body is sealed firmly. The standard deviation σ was 1.7 to 2.1 for sample B, and 0.3 to 0.6 for sample A. It was also confirmed that the samples were sealed with extremely uniform adhesive strength.

つぎに接続強度試験とは別に各サンプルを３個ずつ作製し、各個体を６０℃９０％ＲＨの高温高湿度環境下に保存する試験（以下、保存試験）を行った。そして保存開始から所定の日数が経過する毎に、各個体の内部抵抗を周知の交流定電流方式（１ＫＨｚ、１０ｍＡ）によって調べた。   Next, three samples were prepared separately from the connection strength test, and a test (hereinafter referred to as a storage test) was performed in which each specimen was stored in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment of 60 ° C. and 90% RH. Each time a predetermined number of days elapsed from the start of storage, the internal resistance of each individual was examined by a known AC constant current method (1 KHz, 10 mA).

図７と以下の表２に当該保存試験の結果を示した。   FIG. 7 and Table 2 below show the results of the storage test.

Figure 2017134962
図７および表２では、保存日数毎の内部抵抗を保存開始時点での内部抵抗を１としたときの比（倍）によって示している。そして図７および表２に示したように、実施例に対応するサンプルＡでは保存後７０日が経過した時点での内部抵抗か当初の２０．５倍であったが、比較例に対応するサンプルＢでは内部抵抗が１０８倍にもなったことから、実施例に係る方法によって製造された蓄電素子は高い保存性能を備えていることが分かった。
Figure 2017134962
 In FIG. 7 and Table 2, the internal resistance for each storage day is shown by the ratio (times) when the internal resistance at the start of storage is 1. As shown in FIG. 7 and Table 2, in sample A corresponding to the example, the internal resistance at the time when 70 days passed after storage was 20.5 times the initial value, but the sample corresponding to the comparative example In B, since the internal resistance was 108 times, it was found that the electricity storage device manufactured by the method according to the example had high storage performance.

＝＝＝その他の実施例＝＝＝
本発明の実施例では、電極端子板を兼ねる電極集電体として２０μｍ〜５０μｍ程度の厚さを有する金属箔を用いていたが、それ以上の厚さを有する金属板を用いてもよい。しかし電極端子板の厚さが薄いほど密着強度が高くなることは明らかなので、空気中の水分などに対する防水性を考慮すれば電極端子板を兼ねた電極集電体には金属箔を用いることがより望ましい。 === Other Embodiments ===
In the embodiment of the present invention, a metal foil having a thickness of about 20 μm to 50 μm is used as an electrode current collector that also serves as an electrode terminal plate, but a metal plate having a thickness greater than that may be used. However, it is clear that the thinner the electrode terminal plate is, the higher the adhesion strength becomes. Therefore, considering the waterproof property against moisture in the air, it is necessary to use a metal foil for the electrode current collector also serving as the electrode terminal plate. More desirable.

本発明の実施例に係る製造方法は、図４に示した手順に限らず、適宜に変更可能である。例えば、最初に電極体を組み立てておき、その上で正極と負極の端子部を横断する方向に延長する２枚のタブフィルムを、それぞれ正極端子部の下面および負極端子部の上面に接触させた状態で対面させて、その互いに対面するタブフィルムを熱圧着して、タブフィルム同士、および正極と負極の端子部とタブフィルムを溶着させてもよい。いずれにしてもタブリードを正極と負極の端子部が２枚のタブフィルムによって狭持された状態で、そのタブフィルムを溶着し、その上で電極体を２枚のラミネートフィルムで狭持してそのラミネートフィルム同士を熱溶着させればよい。すなわちタブフィルムとラミネートフィルムに対して個別に熱圧着工程を設ければよい。なお当然のことながら、本発明は積層構造を有する平板状の電極体をラミネートフィルムからなる外装体内に密封した構造であれば、リチウム二次電池限らず、様々な種類のラミネート型蓄電素子（リチウム二次電池、電気二重層コンデンサーなど）に適用することができる。   The manufacturing method according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the procedure shown in FIG. For example, the electrode body is assembled first, and then two tab films extending in a direction crossing the positive electrode and negative electrode terminal portions are brought into contact with the lower surface of the positive electrode terminal portion and the upper surface of the negative electrode terminal portion, respectively. The tab films facing each other may be thermocompression bonded to each other, and the tab films may be bonded to each other, and the positive electrode and negative electrode terminal portions and the tab film may be welded. In any case, the tab lead is welded in a state where the positive and negative terminal portions are sandwiched between the two tab films, and then the electrode body is sandwiched between the two laminate films. What is necessary is just to heat-bond laminate films. That is, a thermocompression bonding process may be provided individually for the tab film and the laminate film. As a matter of course, the present invention is not limited to a lithium secondary battery, but various types of laminated storage elements (lithium) as long as a flat electrode body having a laminated structure is sealed in an outer package made of a laminate film. It can be applied to secondary batteries, electric double layer capacitors, etc.

上記実施形態に係る蓄電素子では正極端子部と負極端子部が外装体の同じ端子側縁辺から同方向に導出されていたが、正極端子部と負極端子部は、外装体において互いに対向する二つの縁辺から反対方向に向かって導出されていてもよい。しかし正極端子部と負極端子部が一つの縁辺から同方向に導出されている蓄電素子では、電極体の厚さによってこれら端子部同士が上下方向に離間している。そのため実施形態として図３に示したような蓄電素子では、二つの縁辺のそれぞれから端子部が一つずつ導出されている蓄電素子と比較すると、実質的には実際の厚さよりも厚い電極端子部が一つの縁辺から導出されていることになる。したがって本実施例の製造法では、正極と負極の端子部が同方向に導出されている蓄電素子を製造する際により高い効果を奏する。   In the electricity storage device according to the above embodiment, the positive electrode terminal portion and the negative electrode terminal portion are led out in the same direction from the same terminal side edge of the exterior body, but the positive electrode terminal portion and the negative electrode terminal portion are two opposite to each other in the exterior body. You may be derived | led-out toward the opposite direction from the edge. However, in the electric storage element in which the positive electrode terminal portion and the negative electrode terminal portion are led out in the same direction from one edge, the terminal portions are separated from each other in the vertical direction depending on the thickness of the electrode body. Therefore, in the electricity storage device as shown in FIG. 3 as an embodiment, the electrode terminal portion is substantially thicker than the actual thickness compared to the electricity storage device in which one terminal portion is led out from each of the two edges. Is derived from one edge. Therefore, in the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, a higher effect can be obtained when manufacturing a power storage element in which the positive and negative terminal portions are led out in the same direction.
