2. Description of the Related Art Along with miniaturization of electronic equipment, there is an increasing demand for miniaturization and weight reduction of a battery as a power supply. On the other hand, batteries are also required to have higher energy density and higher energy efficiency, and expectations for secondary batteries such as Li-ion batteries are increasing. In response to such demands, for example, as seen in JP-A-61-240564, a group of electrode plates is inserted into a bag made of an acid-resistant thermoplastic resin, and a large number of the electrode groups are formed into a film or sheet. There has been proposed an attempt to form a sealed lead-acid battery by enclosing it in a bag-like outer body made of a tubular or tubular synthetic resin. Also, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2447 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-115820, there is also an attempt to improve the sealing performance by forming a structure in which a metal layer is sandwiched between plastic films in a sheet of an enclosing bag.

The provision of a metal layer greatly improves the sealing performance, but does not completely prevent the penetration of moisture from the sealing portion. When moisture enters, it reacts with the electrolytic solution to generate hydrofluoric acid, and this hydrofluoric acid may permeate the plastic film layer and corrode the metal layer, or may cause separation between the metal layer and the plastic layer. The present invention provides an enclosing bag for a non-aqueous electrolyte battery that does not corrode a metal layer or cause peeling between a metal layer and a plastic film layer even when moisture invades and generates hydrofluoric acid. Aim.

The problem and the solution will be described in more detail.
As an example of the configuration of the enclosing bag, there can be cited one in which a PET film is attached to the outer surface of an aluminum foil and a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene is attached to the inner surface. The PET on the outer surface is provided to protect aluminum from external damage, and the polyethylene on the inner surface is provided for heat sealing. When such a conventionally devised material is used, moisture gradually penetrates during long-term storage even if heat sealing is performed, and the water reacts with the electrolyte solution sealed in the bag. To produce hydrofluoric acid. This hydrofluoric acid has a problem in that it permeates polyethylene and the like and peels off the adhesive interface between aluminum and polyethylene, which is one of the factors that make such a bag-type battery container not practical.

In order to solve this problem, it is possible to develop a material that does not allow moisture to penetrate at all, or to provide a resin layer that does not allow hydrofluoric acid to permeate even if moisture enters to generate hydrofluoric acid. Good. As a result of examining the provision of a resin layer that does not allow hydrofluoric acid to permeate, it was found that the object can be achieved by the above-described method. That is, a method in which an acid generated by adding a metal carboxylate or a metal oxide to a resin is trapped on the way. As the carboxylate metal salt and metal oxide, the above-mentioned calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, hydrotalcites, calcium stearate and the like are preferable, but other stabilizers for polyvinyl chloride are also effective. The resin containing these is preferably polyethylene, polypropylene, or their acid-modified products, ionomers, and the like, which are hardly attacked by the electrolytic solution. What is necessary is just to provide the resin layer which is hardly attacked.
