Description

本発明は、正極活物質層及び負極活物質層並びにこれらの間に介在するセパレータを有する電極体と、この電極体内に含浸された電解液と、電極体及び電解液を収容する電池ケースとを備える二次電池、及び、このような二次電池を複数備える組電池に関する。   The present invention includes an electrode body having a positive electrode active material layer, a negative electrode active material layer, and a separator interposed therebetween, an electrolyte solution impregnated in the electrode body, and a battery case containing the electrode body and the electrolyte solution. The present invention relates to a secondary battery provided and an assembled battery including a plurality of such secondary batteries.

正極活物質層を有する帯状の正極板と負極活物質層を有する帯状の負極板とをセパレータを介して扁平型や円筒状に捲回した捲回電極体や、正極活物質層と負極活物質層とがセパレータを介して交互に積層された積層型電極体を備えた二次電池が知られている。これらの電極体は電解液と共に電池ケースに収容され、電極体内には電解液が含浸されている。
このような二次電池に関し、セパレータの表面に凹凸を設けることにより、電池性能を改善したものがある。例えば、特許文献1には、セパレータとして、表面を凹凸状に加工した微多孔膜を使用した電池が開示されている。このように、セパレータを凹凸状に加工することによって、凸部で正極と負極の間の距離を確保して、これらの間の接触を防止する一方、凹部によって電解液の含浸性を良くして、電池特性を改善している。
A wound electrode body in which a strip-like positive electrode plate having a positive electrode active material layer and a strip-like negative electrode plate having a negative electrode active material layer are wound into a flat shape or a cylindrical shape via a separator, or a positive electrode active material layer and a negative electrode active material 2. Description of the Related Art Secondary batteries having a stacked electrode body in which layers are alternately stacked via separators are known. These electrode bodies are housed in a battery case together with an electrolytic solution, and the electrode body is impregnated with the electrolytic solution.
Regarding such a secondary battery, there is a battery whose battery performance is improved by providing irregularities on the surface of the separator. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a battery that uses a microporous film whose surface is processed to be uneven as a separator. In this way, by processing the separator into a concavo-convex shape, the distance between the positive electrode and the negative electrode is ensured at the convex portion, and the contact between them is prevented, while the impregnation of the electrolyte is improved by the concave portion. , Improving battery characteristics.

特開平5−151951号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-151951

ところで、このような二次電池で充電や放電が行われると、活物質の体積変化によって、電極体の膨張及び収縮が起こることがある。例えば、リチウムイオン二次電池の場合、正極活物質として、ニッケル酸リチウム(LiNiO2)、マンガン酸リチウム(LiMn24)、コバルト酸リチウム(LiCoO2)等のリチウム複合酸化物が用いられ、負極活物質として、黒鉛等の炭素系物質が用いられる。 By the way, when charging and discharging are performed in such a secondary battery, the electrode body may expand and contract due to a volume change of the active material. For example, in the case of a lithium ion secondary battery, a lithium composite oxide such as lithium nickelate (LiNiO 2 ), lithium manganate (LiMn 2 O 4 ), lithium cobaltate (LiCoO 2 ) is used as the positive electrode active material, As the negative electrode active material, a carbon-based material such as graphite is used.

そして、充電時には、正極活物質から放出されたリチウムイオンが、電解液を通じて負極側に移動し、負極活物質に吸蔵される。この際、リチウムイオンを吸蔵した負極活物質が膨張して体積が大きく増加する。この結果、充電時には、負極活物質の膨張により、電極体が膨張する。これとは逆に、放電時には、負極活物質に吸蔵されていたリチウムイオンが放出され再び正極活物質に戻るが、この際、負極活物質は収縮して体積が大きく減少する。この結果、放電時には、負極活物質の収縮により、電極体が収縮する。このように、負極活物質として黒鉛のように充放電により膨張又は収縮してその体積が大きく変化する材料を用いる場合は、この負極活物質の膨張及び収縮により、電極体の膨張及び収縮が起こる。   At the time of charging, lithium ions released from the positive electrode active material move to the negative electrode side through the electrolytic solution and are occluded by the negative electrode active material. At this time, the negative electrode active material that occludes lithium ions expands and the volume greatly increases. As a result, during charging, the electrode body expands due to the expansion of the negative electrode active material. On the contrary, at the time of discharging, lithium ions stored in the negative electrode active material are released and returned to the positive electrode active material again. At this time, the negative electrode active material contracts and the volume is greatly reduced. As a result, during discharge, the electrode body contracts due to contraction of the negative electrode active material. As described above, when a material that expands or contracts due to charge / discharge and changes its volume greatly as the negative electrode active material is used as the negative electrode active material, the expansion and contraction of the electrode body occurs due to the expansion and contraction of the negative electrode active material. .

そして、負極活物質の膨張や収縮による電極体の膨張や収縮が起こると、セパレータと負極活物質層との間に含浸された電解液が移動して、徐々に電極体の外部に押し出されることがある。すると、電極体内の電解液が減少し、電池特性が低下する。
そこで、このようなセパレータと負極活物質との間の電解液が電極体外へ移動するのを抑制することが望まれる。
When the electrode body expands or contracts due to the expansion or contraction of the negative electrode active material, the impregnated electrolyte moves between the separator and the negative electrode active material layer and is gradually pushed out of the electrode body. There is. As a result, the electrolyte in the electrode body decreases, and the battery characteristics deteriorate.
Therefore, it is desired to suppress the electrolyte solution between the separator and the negative electrode active material from moving outside the electrode body.

しかし、特許文献1に記載の実施例のように、セパレータの表面に多数の凹部を格子状に配置したものは、凹部以外の部分が凸部となり、この凸部のみを通じて幅方向中央部分から端縁に繋がる経路が存在する。このため、電極体が膨張、収縮した場合に、電解液が凸部で繋がる経路を伝わって電極体の外部へ漏れ出てしまい、電解液の電極体外への移動を十分に抑制することができない。   However, as in the embodiment described in Patent Document 1, in the case where a large number of recesses are arranged in a grid pattern on the surface of the separator, a portion other than the recesses is a protrusion, and the end from the central portion in the width direction passes only through this protrusion. There is a path leading to the edge. For this reason, when the electrode body expands or contracts, the electrolyte solution leaks out of the electrode body through the path connected by the convex portion, and the movement of the electrolyte solution outside the electrode body cannot be sufficiently suppressed. .

本発明は、かかる問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、充放電の繰り返しによりセパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液が電極体の外部へ移動するのを防止して、電池特性の低下を抑制した二次電池、及び、このような二次電池を備えた組電池を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and prevents the electrolyte solution between the separator and the negative electrode active material layer from moving outside the electrode body due to repeated charge and discharge, and has battery characteristics. An object of the present invention is to provide a secondary battery that suppresses the decrease of the battery and an assembled battery including such a secondary battery.

その一態様は、正極活物質層及び負極活物質層並びに上記正極活物質層と上記負極活物質層との間に介在するセパレータを有する電極体と、上記電極体内に含浸された電解液と、上記電極体及び上記電解液を収容する電池ケースと、を備える二次電池であって、上記セパレータは、多孔質樹脂からなる板状のセパレータ本体と、このセパレータ本体の主面のうち上記負極活物質層側の面上の少なくとも一部に形成され、絶縁性無機多孔質材からなる多孔質層とを有し、上記正極活物質層と上記負極活物質層とが当該セパレータを介して厚み方向に互いに重なる作用域内に、上記作用域の周縁の少なくとも一部に沿って延びる帯状で、上記厚み方向のうち上記負極活物質層に向かう負極側に突出し、少なくとも上記厚み方向負極側の一部は上記多孔質層からなる突出帯部、及び、上記突出帯部よりも上記厚み方向負極側に低位で上記セパレータ本体が露出し、上記突出帯部に沿って上記作用域の内側に隣在する低位部を有する二次電池である。 One aspect thereof includes a positive electrode active material layer, a negative electrode active material layer, an electrode body having a separator interposed between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer, an electrolyte solution impregnated in the electrode body, A battery case containing the electrode body and the electrolyte solution, wherein the separator includes a plate-shaped separator body made of a porous resin, and the negative electrode active body of the main surface of the separator body. A porous layer made of an insulating inorganic porous material formed on at least a part of the surface on the material layer side, and the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer are arranged in the thickness direction via the separator In the working area overlapping each other, in a band shape extending along at least a part of the peripheral edge of the working area, projecting to the negative electrode side toward the negative electrode active material layer in the thickness direction, and at least a part of the thickness direction negative electrode side is the above Projecting strip portion made of porous layer, and, than the protruding strip portion the separator body is exposed at low to the thickness direction negative side, low portion of Tonarizai inside said active area along the projecting strip portions Is a secondary battery.

この二次電池では、セパレータは、作用域内に、この作用域の周縁の少なくとも一部に沿って延びる帯状で、厚み方向負極側に突出する突出帯部、及び、この突出帯部よりも厚み方向負極側に低位(即ち、負極活物質層から離れた側)で、突出帯部に沿って作用域の内側に隣在する低位部を有している。
このため、電極体が膨張、収縮した場合でも、作用域内でかつセパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液は、作用域の周縁において、厚み方向に高位で負極活物質層に当接あるいは近接する突出帯部を乗り越えて、作用域外へ出にくく、その内側に隣在する厚み方向に低位の低位部に留まる。
これにより、セパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液が、作用域から電極体の外部へ移動するのが防止される。かくして、充電または放電の繰り返しによる電池特性の低下を抑制した二次電池が得られる。
In this secondary battery, the separator has a band shape extending along at least a part of the peripheral edge of the working area in the working area, and a protruding band part protruding toward the negative electrode in the thickness direction, and the thickness direction from the protruding band part. On the negative electrode side, it has a low level part (that is, a side away from the negative electrode active material layer) and a low level part adjacent to the inside of the working area along the protruding band part.
For this reason, even when the electrode body expands and contracts, the electrolyte solution in the working area and between the separator and the negative electrode active material layer is in contact with the negative electrode active material layer at a high level in the thickness direction at the periphery of the working area. It is difficult to get out of the working area by overcoming the adjacent protruding belt part, and stays at the lower part of the lower part in the thickness direction adjacent to the inner side.
This prevents the electrolytic solution between the separator and the negative electrode active material layer from moving from the working area to the outside of the electrode body. Thus, a secondary battery can be obtained in which deterioration of battery characteristics due to repeated charging or discharging is suppressed.

孔質層を設けた部位を突出帯部とし、多孔質層を設けない部位を低位部とする
絶縁性無機多孔質材からなる多孔質層としては、アルミナ、シリカ等の無機セラミック粒子と結着剤とからなるものが挙げられる。例えば、多孔質樹脂からなるセパレータ本体の表面に、アルミナ粒子と結着剤とを溶剤に分散させたペーストをスクリーン印刷して乾燥することにより、突出帯部及び低位部を含む多孔質層をセパレータ本体に一体に形成すると良い。
The sites provided a multi-porous layer and the protruding strip portion, and a portion without the porous layer and the low portion.
Examples of the porous layer made of an insulating inorganic porous material include those made of inorganic ceramic particles such as alumina and silica and a binder. For example, on the surface of a separator body made of a porous resin, a paste in which alumina particles and a binder are dispersed in a solvent is screen-printed and dried, whereby a porous layer including a protruding band portion and a lower portion is separated from the separator. It may be formed integrally with the main body.

さらに、上述の二次電池であって、前記電極体は、前記正極活物質層を有する正極板と前記負極活物質層を有する負極板とを前記セパレータを介して軸線の周りに捲回してなり、上記正極板と上記負極板とが平板状に重なる平板部を有する扁平捲回電極体であり、上記セパレータは、前記作用域内で、かつ、少なくとも上記平板部内に位置する部位に、前記突出帯部であり、上記作用域の上記軸線に沿う軸線方向一方側の周縁に沿って延びる一方側突出帯部、上記突出帯部であり、上記作用域の上記軸線方向他方側の周縁に沿って延びる他方側突出帯部、前記低位部であり、上記一方側突出帯部に沿って隣在する一方側低位部、及び、上記低位部であり、上記他方側突出帯部に沿って隣在する他方側低位部、を有する二次電池とすると良い。   Further, in the above secondary battery, the electrode body is formed by winding a positive electrode plate having the positive electrode active material layer and a negative electrode plate having the negative electrode active material layer around an axis line through the separator. A flat wound electrode body having a flat plate portion in which the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate overlap each other in a flat plate shape, and the separator is disposed in the working area and at least in a portion located in the flat plate portion. A one-side protruding band portion extending along a peripheral edge on one side in the axial direction along the axis of the working area, and the protruding band section, and extending along a peripheral edge on the other axial side of the working area. The other side protruding band part, the lower level part, the one side lower level part adjacent along the one side protruding band part, and the other lower side part and adjacent to the other side protruding band part A secondary battery having a lower side portion is preferable.

この二次電池では、電極体は平板部を有する扁平捲回電極体であり、セパレータは、作用域内で、かつ、少なくとも平板部内に位置する部位に、前述の突出帯部である一方側突出帯部及び他方側突出帯部、前述の低位部である一方側低位部及び他方側低位部を有する。
これにより、扁平捲回電極体の平板部から、軸線方向一方側あるいは他方側の外部へセパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液が移動するのを防止し、確実に電池特性の低下を抑制することができる。
In this secondary battery, the electrode body is a flat wound electrode body having a flat plate portion, and the separator is the one-side protruding band which is the above-described protruding band portion in a region located in the working area and at least within the flat plate portion. And the other side protruding band part, the one side low level part and the other side low level part which are the above-mentioned low level parts.
As a result, the electrolyte solution between the separator and the negative electrode active material layer is prevented from moving from the flat plate portion of the flat wound electrode body to the outside on one side or the other side in the axial direction, thereby reliably reducing the battery characteristics. Can be suppressed.

さらに、上述の二次電池であって、前記セパレータの前記一方側突出帯部及び前記他方側突出帯部は、当該セパレータの長手方向全体に延びてなる二次電池とすると良い。   Further, in the above-described secondary battery, the one side protruding band portion and the other side protruding band portion of the separator may be a secondary battery extending in the entire longitudinal direction of the separator.

この二次電池では、一方側突出帯部及び他方側突出帯部が、作用域内の平板部内に位置する部位のみならず、セパレータの長手方向全体に延びている。これにより、セパレータ及び扁平捲回電極体を容易に形成できる。また、平板部の両側の部位においても、軸線方向一方側あるいは他方側の外部へセパレータと負極活物質との間の電解液が移動するのを防止できる。   In this secondary battery, the one-side protruding band portion and the other-side protruding band portion extend not only in the portion located in the flat plate portion in the working area but also in the entire longitudinal direction of the separator. Thereby, a separator and a flat wound electrode body can be formed easily. Moreover, also in the site | parts of the both sides of a flat plate part, it can prevent that the electrolyte solution between a separator and a negative electrode active material moves outside the axial direction one side or the other side.

さらに、上述の二次電池であって、前記セパレータは、前記一方側低位部と前記他方側低位部との間に、前記厚み方向負極側に突出し、当該セパレータの長手方向に延び、少なくとも上記厚み方向負極側の一部は前記多孔質層からなる複数の帯状凸部と、上記帯状凸部同士の間に位置し、この帯状凸部よりも上記厚み方向負極側に低位で、上記長手方向に延びる一または複数の帯状凹部とを有する二次電池とすると良い。   Further, in the above-described secondary battery, the separator protrudes between the low-side portion on the one side and the low-side portion on the other side in the thickness direction negative electrode side, extends in the longitudinal direction of the separator, and has at least the thickness described above. A part of the direction negative electrode side is located between the plurality of band-shaped convex portions made of the porous layer and the band-shaped convex portions, and is lower than the band-shaped convex portion on the thickness direction negative electrode side and in the longitudinal direction. A secondary battery having one or a plurality of elongated strip-shaped recesses may be used.

この二次電池では、扁平捲回電極体を備える二次電池において、一方側低位部と他方側低位部との間に、セパレータの長手方向に延びる複数の帯状凸部と、この帯状凸部同士の間に位置する一または複数の帯状凹部とを有している。
これにより、一方側低位部と他方側低位部との間に、厚み方向に高位の帯状凸部と厚み方向に低位の帯状凹部とが縞状に並んだパターンとなる。このため、セパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液は、帯状凸部を乗り越えて軸線方向に移動しにくくなる。
これにより、セパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液が電極体の軸線方向一方側あるいは他方側の外部へ移動するのを、より適切に防止することができる。
ところで、ハイレート放電あるいはハイレート充電を繰り返すなど、充電と放電のパターンが非対称となると、電解液が電極体内を移動することにより、電極体内の電解液の塩濃度分布に偏りが生じることがある。しかるに、この二次電池は、帯状凸部と帯状凹部とが縞状に並んでいるので、セパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液の塩濃度分布が、軸線方向に偏るのを防止することもできる。
In this secondary battery, in a secondary battery including a flat wound electrode body, a plurality of belt-shaped convex portions extending in the longitudinal direction of the separator between the one side low-level portion and the other side low-level portion, and the band-shaped convex portions And one or a plurality of belt-like recesses located between the two.
As a result, a pattern is formed in which a high band-shaped convex portion in the thickness direction and a low band-shaped concave portion in the thickness direction are arranged in stripes between the one-side low-level portion and the other-side low-level portion. For this reason, the electrolytic solution between the separator and the negative electrode active material layer is difficult to move in the axial direction over the belt-like convex portion.
Thereby, it can prevent more appropriately that the electrolyte solution between a separator and a negative electrode active material layer moves to the exterior of the axial direction one side or the other side of an electrode body.
By the way, when the charge and discharge patterns become asymmetric, such as when high-rate discharge or high-rate charge is repeated, the electrolyte solution may move within the electrode body, thereby causing a bias in the salt concentration distribution of the electrolyte solution in the electrode body. However, in this secondary battery, since the strip-shaped convex portions and the strip-shaped concave portions are arranged in stripes, the salt concentration distribution of the electrolyte solution between the separator and the negative electrode active material layer is prevented from being biased in the axial direction. You can also.

A part of the direction negative electrode side is located between the plurality of band-shaped convex portions made of the porous layer and the band-shaped convex portions, and is lower than the band-shaped convex portion on the thickness direction negative electrode side and in the longitudinal direction. A secondary battery having one or a plurality of elongated strip-shaped recesses may be used.

この二次電池では、円筒状捲回電極体を備える二次電池において、一方側低位部と他方側低位部との間に、セパレータの長手方向に延びる複数の帯状凸部と、この帯状凸部同士の間に位置する一または複数の帯状凹部とを有している。
これにより、セパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液が、電極体の軸線方向一方側あるいは他方側の外部へ移動するのを、より適切に防止することができる。加えて、セパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液の塩濃度分布が、軸線方向に偏るのを防止することもできる。

さらに、上述の二次電池であって、前記セパレータは、前記作用域のうち前記環状突出帯部及び前記環状低位部の内側に位置し、前記厚み方向負極側に突出し、少なくとも上記厚み方向負極側の一部は前記多孔質層からなり、環状をなし入れ子状に配置された複数の環状凸部と、上記環状凸部同士の間に位置し、この環状凸部よりも上記厚み方向負極側に低位で、環状をなし入れ子状に配置された複数の環状凹部とを有する二次電池とすると良い。   Furthermore, in the above-described secondary battery, the separator is located inside the annular projecting band portion and the annular lower portion of the working area, protrudes to the thickness direction negative electrode side, and at least the thickness direction negative electrode side Is formed between the plurality of annular projections that are annular and arranged in a nested manner, and are located between the annular projections, and closer to the negative electrode side in the thickness direction than the annular projections. A secondary battery having a plurality of annular recesses arranged in a nested manner at a low level is preferable.

この二次電池では、セパレータは、環状突出帯部及び環状低位部の内側に位置し、環状をなし入れ子状に配置された複数の環状凸部と、この環状凸部同士の間に位置し、環状をなし入れ子状に配置された複数の環状凹部とを有している。
これにより、環状突出帯部及び環状低位部の内側に、厚み方向に高位の環状凸部と厚み方向に低位の環状凹部とが交互に環状に並ぶ。このため、セパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液は、電極体の中心部から外側に向けて環状凸部を乗り越えて移動しにくい。このため、セパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液が電極体の周縁から外側へ移動するのを、より適切に防止することができる。加えて、セパレータと負極活物質層との間の電解液の塩濃度分布が、電極体の中心部から外側に向けて偏るのをも防止することもできる。
In this secondary battery, the separator is located inside the annular projecting belt portion and the annular lower portion, and is located between the annular projections and a plurality of annular projections arranged in a nested manner. And a plurality of annular recesses arranged in a nested manner.
As a result, inside the annular projecting band portion and the annular low level portion, a high-order annular convex portion in the thickness direction and a low-order annular concave portion in the thickness direction are alternately arranged in an annular shape. For this reason, the electrolytic solution between the separator and the negative electrode active material layer is difficult to move over the annular convex portion from the center portion of the electrode body toward the outside. For this reason, it can prevent more appropriately that the electrolyte solution between a separator and a negative electrode active material layer moves outside from the periphery of an electrode body. In addition, it is possible to prevent the salt concentration distribution of the electrolytic solution between the separator and the negative electrode active material layer from being biased toward the outside from the central portion of the electrode body.

ここで、一方側凸部23T1,24T1、他方側凸部24T1,24T2及び凸部23T3,24T3は、いずれもセパレータ本体23M,24Mの負極活物質層22k側の面23MB,24MA上に設けた多孔質層23BS,24ASからなる。また、一方側凹部23O1,24O1、他方側凹部23O2,24O2及び凹部23O3,24O3は、いずれも多孔質層23BS,24ASを設けない部位である。   Here, the one side convex portions 23T1 and 24T1, the other side convex portions 24T1 and 24T2, and the convex portions 23T3 and 24T3 are all porous on the surfaces 23MB and 24MA on the negative electrode active material layer 22k side of the separator bodies 23M and 24M. It consists of a quality layer 23BS, 24AS. The one-side recesses 23O1 and 24O1, the other-side recesses 23O2 and 24O2, and the recesses 23O3 and 24O3 are all portions where the porous layers 23BS and 24AS are not provided.

このように、本実施形態1に係る電池1では、セパレータ23,24は、作用域EA内に、この作用域EAの軸線方向HJの周縁EG1,EG2に沿って長手方向HNに延びる帯状で、厚み方向HT負極側GM1,GM2に突出する一方側凸部23T1,24T1及び他方側凸部23T2,24T2を有している。また、厚み方向HT負極側GM1,GM2に低位で、一方側凸部23T1,24T1及び他方側凸部23T2,24T2に沿って作用域EAの内側に隣在する一方側凹部23O1,24O1及び他方側凹部23O2,24O2を有している。   Thus, in the battery 1 according to the first embodiment, the separators 23 and 24 are in the band shape extending in the longitudinal direction HN along the peripheral edges EG1 and EG2 in the axial direction HJ of the working area EA in the working area EA. Thickness direction HT It has one side convex part 23T1, 24T1 and the other side convex part 23T2, 24T2 which protrude to GM negative electrode side GM1, GM2. Also, the one-side recesses 23O1, 24O1 and the other side that are lower in the thickness direction HT negative electrode side GM1, GM2 and are adjacent to the inside of the working area EA along the one-side protrusions 23T1, 24T1 and the other-side protrusions 23T2, 24T2. Recesses 23O2 and 24O2 are provided.

このため、電極体20が膨張、収縮した場合でも、作用域EA内でかつセパレータ23,24と負極板22の負極活物質層22kとの間の電解液30は、作用域EAの軸線方向HJの周縁EG1,EG2において、厚み方向HTに高位で負極活物質層22kに当接あるいは近接する一方側凸部23T1,24T1及び他方側凸部23T2,24T2を乗り越えて、作用域EA外へ出にくく、その内側に隣在する厚み方向HTに低位の一方側凹部23O1,24O1及び他方側凹部23O2,24O2に留まる。   For this reason, even when the electrode body 20 expands and contracts, the electrolytic solution 30 in the working area EA and between the separators 23 and 24 and the negative electrode active material layer 22k of the negative electrode plate 22 is not in the axial direction HJ of the working area EA. In the peripheral edges EG1 and EG2, the first side convex portions 23T1 and 24T1 and the other side convex portions 23T2 and 24T2 that are in contact with or close to the negative electrode active material layer 22k at a high position in the thickness direction HT are overcome and do not easily go out of the working area EA. In the thickness direction HT adjacent to the inner side, the lower one side recesses 23O1, 24O1 and the other side recesses 23O2, 24O2 remain.

これにより、セパレータ23,24と負極板22の負極活物質層22kとの間の電解液30が、作用域EAから電極体20の外部へ移動するのが防止される。かくして、充電または放電の繰り返しによる電池特性の低下を抑制した電池1が得られる。   As a result, the electrolytic solution 30 between the separators 23 and 24 and the negative electrode active material layer 22k of the negative electrode plate 22 is prevented from moving from the working area EA to the outside of the electrode body 20. Thus, the battery 1 is obtained in which deterioration of battery characteristics due to repeated charging or discharging is suppressed.

本実施形態1において、一方側凸部23T1,24T1は本発明の一方側突出帯部に、他方側凸部23T2,24T2は他方側突出帯部に相当する。
さらに、これら一方側凸部23T1,24T1及び他方側凸部23T2,24T2が、突出帯部に相当する。
また、一方側凹部23O1,24O1は一方側低位部に、他方側凹部23O2,24O2は他方側低位部に相当する。
さらに、これら一方側凹部23O1,24O1及び他方側凹部23O2,24O2が、低位部に相当する。
In the first embodiment, the one side convex portions 23T1 and 24T1 correspond to one side protruding band portions of the present invention, and the other side convex portions 23T2 and 24T2 correspond to the other side protruding band portions.
Furthermore, these one side convex parts 23T1 and 24T1 and the other side convex parts 23T2 and 24T2 correspond to protruding band parts.
Further, the one-side recesses 23O1 and 24O1 correspond to the one-side low-order part, and the other-side recesses 23O2 and 24O2 correspond to the other-side low-order part.
Furthermore, these one side recessed parts 23O1, 24O1 and the other side recessed parts 23O2, 24O2 correspond to a low-order part.

さらに、この電池1では、電極体20は平板部HBを有する扁平捲回電極体20であり、セパレータ23,24は、作用域EA内で、少なくとも平板部HB内に位置する部位に、突出帯部である一方側凸部23T1,24T1及び他方側凸部23T2,24T2、低位部である一方側凹部23O1,24O1及び他方側凹部23O2,24O2を有している。
これにより、扁平捲回電極体20の平板部HBから、軸線方向HJ一方側GH1あるいは他方側GH2の外部へセパレータ23,24と負極板22の負極活物質層22kとの間の電解液30が移動するのを防止し、確実に電池特性の低下を抑制することができる。
Furthermore, in this battery 1, the electrode body 20 is a flat wound electrode body 20 having a flat plate portion HB, and the separators 23 and 24 are provided in a projecting band at a position located at least within the flat plate portion HB in the working area EA. The first side convex portions 23T1 and 24T1 and the other side convex portions 23T2 and 24T2 which are the portions, and the one side concave portions 23O1 and 24O1 and the other side concave portions 23O2 and 24O2 which are the lower positions.
As a result, the electrolytic solution 30 between the separators 23 and 24 and the negative electrode active material layer 22k of the negative electrode plate 22 extends from the flat plate portion HB of the flat wound electrode body 20 to the outside of the axial direction HJ one side GH1 or the other side GH2. It is possible to prevent the battery from moving and reliably suppress the deterioration of the battery characteristics.

さらに、この電池1では、一方側凸部23T1,24T1及び他方側凸部23T2,24T2が、作用域EA内のうちの平板部HB内に位置する部位のみならず、セパレータ23,24の長手方向HN全体に延びている。これにより、セパレータ23,24及び扁平捲回電極体20を容易に形成できる。また、平板部HBの両側の部位においても、軸線方向HJ一方側GH1あるいは他方側GH2の外部へセパレータ23,24と負極板22の負極活物質層22kとの間の電解液30が移動するのを防止できる。   Further, in the battery 1, the one side convex portions 23T1 and 24T1 and the other side convex portions 23T2 and 24T2 are not only located in the flat plate portion HB in the working area EA, but also in the longitudinal direction of the separators 23 and 24. It extends throughout the HN. Thereby, the separators 23 and 24 and the flat wound electrode body 20 can be easily formed. Further, also in the portions on both sides of the flat plate portion HB, the electrolytic solution 30 between the separators 23 and 24 and the negative electrode active material layer 22k of the negative electrode plate 22 moves to the outside of the axial direction HJ one side GH1 or the other side GH2. Can be prevented.

さらに、この電池1では、セパレータ23,24は、一方側凹部23O1,24O1と他方側凹部23O2,24O2との間に、セパレータ23,24の長手方向HNに延びる複数の凸部23T3,24T3と、この凸部23T3,24T3同士の間に位置する複数の凹部23O3,24O3とを有している。
これにより、一方側凹部23O1,24O1と他方側凹部23O2,24O2との間に、厚み方向HTに高位の凸部23T3,24T3と厚み方向HTに低位の凹部23O3,24O3とが縞状に並んだパターンとなる。
Furthermore, in this battery 1, the separators 23 and 24 are provided with a plurality of protrusions 23T3 and 24T3 extending in the longitudinal direction HN of the separators 23 and 24 between the one-side recesses 23O1 and 24O1 and the other-side recesses 23O2 and 24O2. A plurality of concave portions 23O3 and 24O3 are provided between the convex portions 23T3 and 24T3.
As a result, between the one-side recesses 23O1 and 24O1 and the other-side recesses 23O2 and 24O2, the high-level protrusions 23T3 and 24T3 in the thickness direction HT and the low-level recesses 23O3 and 24O3 are arranged in stripes in the thickness direction HT. It becomes a pattern.

このため、セパレータ23,24と負極板22の負極活物質層22kとの間の電解液30は、凸部23T3,24T3を乗り越えて軸線方向HJに移動しにくくなる。
これにより、セパレータ23,24と負極板22の負極活物質層22kとの間の電解液30が電極体20の軸線方向HJ一方側GH1あるいは他方側GH2の外部へ移動するのを、より適切に防止することができる。加えて、セパレータ23,24と負極板22の負極活物質層22kとの間の電解液30の塩濃度分布が、軸線方向HJに偏るのを防止することもできる。
For this reason, the electrolytic solution 30 between the separators 23 and 24 and the negative electrode active material layer 22k of the negative electrode plate 22 is difficult to move over the convex portions 23T3 and 24T3 in the axial direction HJ.
Accordingly, it is more appropriate that the electrolytic solution 30 between the separators 23 and 24 and the negative electrode active material layer 22k of the negative electrode plate 22 moves to the outside of the axial direction HJ one side GH1 or the other side GH2 of the electrode body 20. Can be prevented. In addition, it is possible to prevent the salt concentration distribution of the electrolytic solution 30 between the separators 23 and 24 and the negative electrode active material layer 22k of the negative electrode plate 22 from being biased in the axial direction HJ.

本実施形態1において、凸部23T3,24T3は、本発明の帯状凸部に相当する。また、凹部23O3,24O3は、帯状凹部に相当する。   In the first embodiment, the convex portions 23T3 and 24T3 correspond to the belt-like convex portions of the present invention. Further, the recesses 23O3 and 24O3 correspond to strip-shaped recesses.

The belt portion may be formed of a porous layer, and the space between them may be a lower portion in the thickness direction where the porous layer is not formed. In this case, the lower portion in the thickness direction adjacent to the inner side of the action area EA along the one side protruding band portion 323T1 and the other side protruding band portion 323T2 (protruding band portion) is the one side lower portion 323O1 and the other side lower position.

There are a plurality of strip-shaped recesses 124O3 extending in the longitudinal direction HN at a lower position in the thickness direction HT negative electrode side GM2 than the protrusions 124T3.

ここで、一方側凸部123T1,124T1、他方側凸部123T2,124T2及び凸部123T3,124T3は、いずれもセパレータ本体123M,124Mの負極活物質層122k側の面123MB,124MA上に設けた多孔質層123BS,124ASからなる。また、一方側凹部123O1,124O1、他方側凹部123O2,124O2及び凹部123O3,124O3は、いずれも多孔質層123BS,124ASを設けない部位である。   Here, the one-side convex portions 123T1 and 124T1, the other-side convex portions 123T2 and 124T2, and the convex portions 123T3 and 124T3 are all porous on the surfaces 123MB and 124MA of the separator main bodies 123M and 124M on the negative electrode active material layer 122k side. It consists of a quality layer 123BS, 124AS. The one-side recesses 123O1 and 124O1, the other-side recesses 123O2 and 124O2, and the recesses 123O3 and 124O3 are all portions where the porous layers 123BS and 124AS are not provided.

このように、本実施形態2に係る電池101では、実施形態1と同様、セパレータ123,124は、作用域EA内に、この作用域EAの軸線方向HJの周縁EG1,EG2に沿って長手方向HNに延びる帯状で、厚み方向HT負極側GM1,GM2に突出する一方側凸部123T1,124T1及び他方側凸部123T2,124T2を有している。また、厚み方向HT負極側GM1,GM2に低位で、一方側凸部123T1,124T1及び他方側凸部123T2,124T2に沿って作用域EAの内側に隣在する一方側凹部123O1,124O1及び他方側凹部123O2,124O2を有している。   Thus, in the battery 101 according to the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the separators 123 and 124 are disposed in the working area EA along the peripheral edges EG1 and EG2 in the axial direction HJ of the working area EA. It has a belt-like shape extending to HN, and has one-side convex portions 123T1, 124T1 and other-side convex portions 123T2, 124T2 projecting in the thickness direction HT negative electrode side GM1, GM2. Also, the one-side recesses 123O1, 124O1 and the other side that are lower in the thickness direction HT negative electrode side GM1, GM2 and are adjacent to the inside of the working area EA along the one-side protrusions 123T1, 124T1 and the other-side protrusions 123T2, 124T2. Recesses 123O2 and 124O2 are provided.

このため、電極体120が膨張、収縮した場合でも、作用域EA内でかつセパレータ123,124と負極板122の負極活物質層122kとの間の電解液130は、作用域EAの軸線方向HJの周縁EG1,EG2において、厚み方向HTに高位で負極活物質層122kに当接あるいは近接する一方側凸部123T1,124T1及び他方側凸部123T2,124T2を乗り越えて、作用域EA外へ出にくく、その内側に隣在する厚み方向HTに低位の一方側凹部123O1,124O1及び他方側凹部123O2,124O2に留まる。   For this reason, even when the electrode body 120 expands and contracts, the electrolytic solution 130 in the working area EA and between the separators 123 and 124 and the negative electrode active material layer 122k of the negative electrode plate 122 remains in the axial direction HJ of the working area EA. In the peripheral edges EG1 and EG2, the first side convex portions 123T1 and 124T1 and the other side convex portions 123T2 and 124T2 that are in contact with or close to the negative electrode active material layer 122k at a high position in the thickness direction HT are overcome and do not easily go out of the working area EA. In the thickness direction HT adjacent to the inner side, the lower one side recesses 123O1, 124O1 and the other side recesses 123O2, 124O2 remain.

これにより、セパレータ123,124と負極板122の負極活物質層122kとの間の電解液130が、作用域EAから電極体120の外部へ移動するのが防止される。かくして、充電または放電の繰り返しによる電池特性の低下を抑制した電池101が得られる。   As a result, the electrolytic solution 130 between the separators 123 and 124 and the negative electrode active material layer 122k of the negative electrode plate 122 is prevented from moving from the working area EA to the outside of the electrode body 120. Thus, the battery 101 is obtained in which deterioration of battery characteristics due to repeated charging or discharging is suppressed.

また、一方側凹部123O1,124O1は一方側低位部に、他方側凹部123O2,124O2は他方側低位部に相当する。
さらに、これら一方側凹部123O1,124O1及び他方側凹部123O2,124O2が、低位部に相当する。
In the second embodiment, the one side convex portions 123T1 and 124T1 correspond to one side protruding band portion of the present invention, and the other side convex portions 123T2 and 124T2 correspond to the other side protruding band portion.
Furthermore, these one side convex parts 123T1 and 124T1 and the other side convex parts 123T2 and 124T2 correspond to protruding band parts.
Further, the one-side recesses 123O1 and 124O1 correspond to one side low-order part, and the other-side recesses 123O2 and 124O2 correspond to the other-side low-order part.
Furthermore, these one side recessed parts 123O1 and 124O1 and the other side recessed parts 123O2 and 124O2 correspond to the low-order parts.

さらに、この電池101では、電極体120は円筒状捲回電極体120であり、セパレータ123,124は、作用域EA内に、突出帯部である一方側凸部123T1,124T1及び他方側凸部123T2,124T2、低位部である一方側凹部123O1,124O1及び他方側凹部123O2,124O2を有している。
これにより、円筒状捲回電極体120の軸線方向HJ一方側GH1あるいは他方側GH2の外側へセパレータ123,124と負極板122の負極活物質層122kとの間の電解液130が移動するのを防止し、電池特性の低下を抑制することができる。
Further, in this battery 101, the electrode body 120 is a cylindrical wound electrode body 120, and the separators 123 and 124 are provided on the one side convex portions 123T1 and 124T1 and the other side convex portions as projecting band portions in the working area EA. 123T2 and 124T2, one side recesses 123O1 and 124O1 which are the lower portions, and the other side recesses 123O2 and 124O2.
Thereby, the electrolytic solution 130 between the separators 123 and 124 and the negative electrode active material layer 122k of the negative electrode plate 122 moves to the outside of the axial direction HJ one side GH1 or the other side GH2 of the cylindrical wound electrode body 120. It is possible to prevent the deterioration of battery characteristics.

さらに、この電池101では、セパレータ123,124は、一方側凹部123O1,124O1と他方側凹部123O2,124O2との間に、セパレータ123,124の長手方向HNに延びる複数の凸部123T3,124T3と、この凸部123T3,124T3同士の間に位置する複数の凹部123O3,124O3とを有している。
これにより、一方側凹部123O1,124O1と他方側凹部123O2,124O2との間に、厚み方向HTに高位の凸部123T3,124T3と厚み方向HTに低位の凹部123O3,124O3とが縞状に並んだパターンとなる。
Further, in the battery 101, the separators 123 and 124 include a plurality of protrusions 123T3 and 124T3 extending in the longitudinal direction HN of the separators 123 and 124 between the one-side recesses 123O1 and 124O1 and the other-side recesses 123O2 and 124O2, respectively. A plurality of concave portions 123O3 and 124O3 are provided between the convex portions 123T3 and 124T3.
As a result, between the concave portions 123O1 and 124O1 on the one side and the concave portions 123O2 and 124O2 on the other side, the high-level convex portions 123T3 and 124T3 in the thickness direction HT and the low-level concave portions 123O3 and 124O3 in the thickness direction HT are arranged in stripes. It becomes a pattern.

このため、セパレータ123,124と負極板22の負極活物質層122kとの間の電解液130は、凸部123T3,124T3を乗り越えて軸線方向HJに移動しにくくなる。
これにより、セパレータ123,124と負極板122の負極活物質層122kとの間の電解液130が、電極体120の軸線方向HJ一方側GH1あるいは他方側GH2へ移動するのを、より適切に防止することができる。加えて、セパレータ123,124と負極板122の負極活物質層122kとの間の電解液130の塩濃度分布が、軸線方向HJに偏るのを防止することもできる。
For this reason, the electrolytic solution 130 between the separators 123 and 124 and the negative electrode active material layer 122k of the negative electrode plate 22 is difficult to move in the axial direction HJ over the convex portions 123T3 and 124T3.
Accordingly, the electrolyte solution 130 between the separators 123 and 124 and the negative electrode active material layer 122k of the negative electrode plate 122 is more appropriately prevented from moving to the axial direction HJ one side GH1 or the other side GH2 of the electrode body 120. can do. In addition, it is possible to prevent the salt concentration distribution of the electrolytic solution 130 between the separators 123 and 124 and the negative electrode active material layer 122k of the negative electrode plate 122 from being biased in the axial direction HJ.

さらに、作用域EAのうち、外周凸部224T1及び外周凹部224O1の内側には、厚み方向HT負極側GM1に突出し、角型の環状をなして入れ子状に配置された複数の凸部224T3を有する。また、この凸部224T3同士の間には、凸部224T3よりも厚み方向HT負極側GM1に低位で、角型の環状をなして入れ子状に配置された複数の凹部224O3を有する。   Further, in the working area EA, inside the outer peripheral convex portion 224T1 and the outer peripheral concave portion 224O1, there are a plurality of convex portions 224T3 that protrude in the thickness direction HT negative electrode side GM1 and are arranged in a nested manner in a square ring shape. . Further, between the convex portions 224T3, there are a plurality of concave portions 224O3 arranged in a nested manner in a rectangular shape at a lower position than the convex portion 224T3 in the thickness direction HT negative electrode side GM1.

ここで、外周凸部224T1及び凸部224T3は、いずれもセパレータ本体224Mの負極活物質層222k側の面224MA上に設けた多孔質層224ASからなる。また、外周凹部224O1及び凹部224O3は、いずれも多孔質層224ASを設けない部位である。   Here, each of the outer peripheral convex portion 224T1 and the convex portion 224T3 is composed of a porous layer 224AS provided on the surface 224MA on the negative electrode active material layer 222k side of the separator body 224M. Moreover, both the outer periphery recessed part 224O1 and the recessed part 224O3 are parts in which the porous layer 224AS is not provided.

このように、本実施形態3に係る電池201では、セパレータ223,224は、作用域EA内に、この作用域EAの周縁EG3に沿って角型の環状をなし、厚み方向HT負極側GM1,GM2に突出する外周凸部223T1,224T1を有している。また、厚み方向HT負極側GM1,GM2に低位で、外周凸部223T1,224T1に沿って作用域EAの内側に隣在する外周凹部223O1,224O1を有している。   As described above, in the battery 201 according to the third embodiment, the separators 223 and 224 have a square annular shape along the peripheral edge EG3 of the working area EA in the working area EA, and the thickness direction HT negative electrode side GM1, It has the outer peripheral convex part 223T1 and 224T1 which protrude in GM2. Moreover, it has outer peripheral recessed part 223O1,224O1 which is low in thickness direction HT negative electrode side GM1, GM2, and adjoins inner side of action area EA along outer peripheral convex part 223T1,224T1.

このため、電極体220が膨張、収縮した場合でも、作用域EA内でかつセパレータ223,224と負極板222の負極活物質層222kとの間の電解液230は、作用域EAの周縁EG3において、厚み方向HTに高位で負極活物質層222kに当接あるいは近接する外周凸部223T1,224T1を乗り越えて、作用域EA外へ出にくく、その内側に隣在する厚み方向HTに低位の外周凹部223O1,224O1に留まる。   For this reason, even when the electrode body 220 expands and contracts, the electrolyte solution 230 in the working area EA and between the separators 223 and 224 and the negative electrode active material layer 222k of the negative electrode plate 222 is in the peripheral edge EG3 of the working area EA. The outer circumferential concave portion 223T1, 224T1 that is higher in the thickness direction HT and is in contact with or close to the negative electrode active material layer 222k is difficult to go out of the active area EA, and the lower circumferential concave portion adjacent to the inner side in the thickness direction HT. Stays at 223O1, 224O1.

これにより、セパレータ223,224と負極板222の負極活物質層222kとの間の電解液230が、作用域EAから電極体220の外部へ移動するのが防止される。かくして、充電または放電の繰り返しによる電池特性の低下を抑制した電池201が得られる。   As a result, the electrolytic solution 230 between the separators 223 and 224 and the negative electrode active material layer 222k of the negative electrode plate 222 is prevented from moving from the working area EA to the outside of the electrode body 220. Thus, the battery 201 is obtained in which deterioration of battery characteristics due to repeated charging or discharging is suppressed.

本実施形態3において、外周凸部223T1,224T1が、本発明の環状突出帯部及び突出帯部に相当する。また、外周凹部223O1,224O1が、環状低位部及び低位部に相当する。   In the third embodiment, the outer peripheral convex portions 223T1 and 224T1 correspond to the annular protruding band portion and the protruding band portion of the present invention. Further, the outer peripheral recesses 223O1 and 224O1 correspond to the annular lower portion and the lower portion.

さらに、この電池201では、電極体220は積層型電極体220であり、セパレータ223,224は、作用域EA内に、突出帯部である外周凸部223T1、低位部である外周凹部223O1を有している。
これにより、積層型電極体220の周縁から外側へセパレータ223,224と負極板222の負極活物質層222kとの間の電解液230が移動するのを防止し、電池特性の低下を抑制することができる。
Further, in this battery 201, the electrode body 220 is a laminated electrode body 220, and the separators 223 and 224 have an outer peripheral convex portion 223T1 that is a protruding band portion and an outer peripheral concave portion 223O1 that is a lower portion in the working area EA. doing.
As a result, the electrolytic solution 230 between the separators 223 and 224 and the negative electrode active material layer 222k of the negative electrode plate 222 is prevented from moving from the peripheral edge of the multilayer electrode body 220 to the outside, and the deterioration of the battery characteristics is suppressed. Can do.

さらに、この電池201では、外周凸部223T1,224T1及び外周凹部223O1,224O1の内側に、厚み方向HTに高位の凸部223T3,224T3と厚み方向HTに低位の凹部223O3,224O3とが交互に環状に並ぶ。   Further, in the battery 201, the convex portions 223T3 and 224T3 having higher positions in the thickness direction HT and the concave portions 223O3 and 224O3 having lower positions in the thickness direction HT are alternately arranged inside the outer peripheral convex portions 223T1 and 224T1 and the outer peripheral concave portions 223O1 and 224O1. Lined up.

このため、セパレータ223,224と負極板222の負極活物質層222kとの間の電解液230は、電極体220の中心部から外側に向けて凹部223T3,224T3を乗り越えて移動しにくい。このため、セパレータ223,224と負極板222の負極活物質層222kとの間の電解液230が電極体220の周縁から外側へ移動するのを、より適切に防止することができる。加えて、セパレータ223,224と負極板222の負極活物質層222kとの間の電解液230の塩濃度分布が、電極体220の中心部から外側に向けて偏るのを防止することもできる。   For this reason, the electrolytic solution 230 between the separators 223 and 224 and the negative electrode active material layer 222k of the negative electrode plate 222 is difficult to move over the recesses 223T3 and 224T3 from the center of the electrode body 220 toward the outside. For this reason, it is possible to more appropriately prevent the electrolytic solution 230 between the separators 223 and 224 and the negative electrode active material layer 222k of the negative electrode plate 222 from moving from the periphery of the electrode body 220 to the outside. In addition, it is possible to prevent the salt concentration distribution of the electrolyte solution 230 between the separators 223 and 224 and the negative electrode active material layer 222k of the negative electrode plate 222 from being biased outward from the center of the electrode body 220.

本実施形態3において、凸部223T3,224T3が、本発明の環状凸部に相当する。また、凹部223O3,224O3が、環状凹部に相当する。   In the third embodiment, the convex portions 223T3 and 224T3 correspond to the annular convex portion of the present invention. Further, the recesses 223O3 and 224O3 correspond to an annular recess.

And the flat plate portion HB of the flat wound electrode body 20 is compressed in the thickness direction HT, sandwiched between two pressing members 2A and 2B. In the assembled battery 2, the batteries 1 are stacked in the stacking direction HA with a rectangular plate spacer SP having an outer shape smaller than that of the parallel wall portions 12A and 12B. 2A and 2B are sandwiched, pressed in the stacking direction HA, and fastened using fastening members 2C and 2D made of metal plates and fastening bolts BT. Thereby, the flat plate part HB of the flat wound electrode body 20 of each battery 1 is compressed in the thickness direction HT.

前述したように、電池1は、セパレータ23,24と負極板22の負極活物質層22kとの間の電解液30が電極体20の外部へと移動することを防止しており、さらに、電池1を積層方向HAに積層することにより、扁平捲回電極体20の平板部HBを厚み方向HBに圧縮している。これにより、それぞれの電池1でセパレータ23,24と負極板22の負極活物質層22kとの間の電解液30が電極体20の外部へと移動することを適切に防止して、電池特性の低下を抑制した組電池2となる。   As described above, the battery 1 prevents the electrolytic solution 30 between the separators 23 and 24 and the negative electrode active material layer 22k of the negative electrode plate 22 from moving to the outside of the electrode body 20. By laminating 1 in the laminating direction HA, the flat plate portion HB of the flat wound electrode body 20 is compressed in the thickness direction HB. This appropriately prevents the electrolytic solution 30 between the separators 23 and 24 and the negative electrode active material layer 22k of the negative electrode plate 22 from moving outside the electrode body 20 in each battery 1, The assembled battery 2 is suppressed from decreasing.

(変形形態3)

(Modification 3)
Next, a modification of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The assembled battery 202 according to the third modification uses the battery 201 according to the third embodiment instead of the battery 1 according to the fourth embodiment. That is, the stacked electrodes of the battery 201 are stacked in the stacking direction HA orthogonal to the parallel walls 212A and 212B of the battery case 210 of the battery 201 and connected in series, and sandwiched between the two pressing members 2A and 2B. The body 220 is compressed in the thickness direction HT. The assembled battery 202 is also formed by stacking the batteries 201 in the stacking direction HA with a rectangular plate spacer SP having an outer shape smaller than that of the parallel wall portions 212A and 212B. 2A and 2B are sandwiched, pressed in the stacking direction HA, and fastened using fastening members 2C and 2D made of metal plates and fastening bolts BT.

前述したように、電池201は、セパレータ223,224と負極板222の負極活物質層222kとの間の電解液230が電極体220の外部へと移動することを防止しており、さらに、電池1を積層方向HAに積層することにより、積層型電極体220を厚み方向HBに圧縮している。これにより、それぞれの電池201でセパレータ223,224と負極板222の負極活物質層222kとの間の電解液230が電極体220の外部へと移動することを適切に防止して、電池特性の低下を抑制した組電池202となる。   As described above, the battery 201 prevents the electrolytic solution 230 between the separators 223 and 224 and the negative electrode active material layer 222k of the negative electrode plate 222 from moving to the outside of the electrode body 220. The laminated electrode body 220 is compressed in the thickness direction HB by laminating 1 in the lamination direction HA. Accordingly, it is possible to appropriately prevent the electrolyte solution 230 between the separators 223 and 224 and the negative electrode active material layer 222k of the negative electrode plate 222 from moving outside the electrode body 220 in each battery 201.
