Description

本発明は、セパレータを介して積層される正極シートおよび負極シートを有する蓄電素子に関する。   The present invention relates to a power storage device having a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet that are laminated via a separator.

リチウムイオン電池のような蓄電素子には、セパレータを介して交互に積層された正極シート及び負極シートを有する電極体が用いられることがある。一般に、正極シート及び負極シートは、金属箔の両面に活物質層が塗工されることで形成される。   In an electric storage element such as a lithium ion battery, an electrode body having a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet that are alternately stacked with separators may be used. Generally, a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet are formed by applying an active material layer to both surfaces of a metal foil.

特許文献１に開示されているように、蓄電素子の正極シート及び負極シートには、該シートの幅方向の一方側における直線状の縁部から幅方向の外側に突出したタブが設けられることがある。タブの少なくとも一部は、活物質層が形成されていない活物質非形成部とされ、該活物質非形成部は、集電体を介して外部端子に電気的に接続される。   As disclosed in Patent Document 1, the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet of the electricity storage element may be provided with tabs protruding outward in the width direction from the linear edge on one side in the width direction of the sheet. is there. At least a part of the tab is an active material non-formation part in which no active material layer is formed, and the active material non-formation part is electrically connected to an external terminal via a current collector.

この種の蓄電素子において、正極シートには、タブだけでなく、該タブ側の縁部に沿った部分にも活物質非形成部が形成されることがある。また、このように正極シートの縁部に沿って形成された活物質非形成部は、セパレータを介して負極シートの活物質層に対向配置されることがある。   In this type of electricity storage device, the active material non-formation part may be formed not only in the tab but also in the part along the edge on the tab side in the positive electrode sheet. Moreover, the active material non-formation part formed along the edge part of the positive electrode sheet in this way may be arranged to face the active material layer of the negative electrode sheet via the separator.

特許第５３５４０４２号公報Japanese Patent No. 5354402

しかしながら、上記のように正極シートのタブ側の縁部に沿って形成された活物質非形成部がセパレータを介して負極活物質層に対向配置された蓄電素子では、セパレータの位置ずれ、収縮又は破損のような何らかの原因によって、正極活物質非形成部と負極活物質層が直接対向する状態になった場合に、これらの間で短絡が生じる可能性がある。   However, in the electricity storage device in which the active material non-formed portion formed along the tab side edge of the positive electrode sheet as described above is disposed opposite to the negative electrode active material layer via the separator, the separator is displaced, contracted, or When the positive electrode active material non-forming part and the negative electrode active material layer are directly opposed to each other due to some cause such as breakage, a short circuit may occur between them.

そこで、本発明は、電極シートのタブ側の縁部に沿って活物質非形成部が設けられた蓄電素子において、前記活物質非形成部における短絡の発生を抑制することを目的とする。   Then, an object of this invention is to suppress generation | occurrence | production of the short circuit in the said active material non-formation part in the electrical storage element in which the active material non-formation part was provided along the edge part by the side of the tab of an electrode sheet.

本発明に係る蓄電素子は、
第１電極シートと、セパレータを介して前記第１電極シートに積層され、前記第１電極シートとは異なる極性を有する第２電極シートと、を備えた蓄電素子であって、
前記第１電極シートは、
第１方向に直線状に延びる縁部、及び、該縁部から前記第１方向に交差する第２方向に突出した第１タブを有する金属箔と、
前記金属箔の表面に形成された活物質層と、
前記金属箔の表面に形成された絶縁層と、
を備え、
前記金属箔における前記縁部に沿う部分及び前記第１タブは、前記活物質層が形成されていない活物質非形成部とされ、
前記絶縁層は、前記活物質非形成部に形成されている、ことを特徴とする。 The electricity storage device according to the present invention is:
A power storage device comprising: a first electrode sheet; and a second electrode sheet laminated on the first electrode sheet via a separator and having a polarity different from that of the first electrode sheet,
The first electrode sheet is
A metal foil having an edge extending linearly in a first direction, and a first tab protruding from the edge in a second direction intersecting the first direction;
An active material layer formed on the surface of the metal foil;
An insulating layer formed on the surface of the metal foil;
With
The portion along the edge in the metal foil and the first tab are an active material non-formation part in which the active material layer is not formed,
The insulating layer is formed in the active material non-formation part.

これにより、セパレータの位置ずれ、収縮又は破損等によって第１電極シートが第２電極シートに直接対向する状態になった場合でも、第１電極シートの活物質非形成部と第２電極シートとの間に絶縁層が介在することで、第１電極シートの活物質非形成部における短絡の発生を抑制できる。   Thereby, even when the first electrode sheet is directly opposed to the second electrode sheet due to the position shift, contraction or breakage of the separator, the active material non-forming portion of the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet By interposing the insulating layer therebetween, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a short circuit in the active material non-forming portion of the first electrode sheet.

本発明において、前記絶縁層は、前記活物質非形成部における前記第１タブの基部を含む領域に設けられることが好ましい。これにより、第１タブの基部における短絡の発生を抑制しつつ、該基部を絶縁層によって補強することができる。   In this invention, it is preferable that the said insulating layer is provided in the area | region containing the base of the said 1st tab in the said active material non-formation part. Thereby, this base part can be reinforced with an insulating layer, suppressing generation | occurrence | production of the short circuit in the base part of a 1st tab.

本発明において、前記第１タブは、前記基部においてアールが付けられていることが好ましい。これにより、第１タブの基部にかかる応力を分散させて、第１タブの強度を向上させることができる。   In the present invention, the first tab is preferably rounded at the base. Thereby, the stress applied to the base of the first tab can be dispersed, and the strength of the first tab can be improved.

本発明に係る蓄電素子が、前記第１電極シートを外部端子に電気的に接続させる集電体を更に備える場合、前記第１タブは、折り曲げられた状態で前記集電体に接続されてもよい。この場合、折り曲げによって応力が集中する第１タブの基部が絶縁層によって補強されていることで、第１タブの剛性、耐久性の向上を図ることができる。   When the electricity storage device according to the present invention further includes a current collector that electrically connects the first electrode sheet to an external terminal, the first tab may be connected to the current collector in a bent state. Good. In this case, since the base portion of the first tab where stress is concentrated by bending is reinforced by the insulating layer, the rigidity and durability of the first tab can be improved.

本発明において、前記絶縁層における前記第１タブの表面に形成された部分は、前記第２方向において前記セパレータの縁部よりも突出していることが好ましい。これにより、セパレータの位置ずれ、収縮又は破損等によって第１タブがセパレータを介することなく第２電極シートに対向する状態になった場合でも、第１タブの金属箔と第２電極シートとの間に絶縁層が介在することで、第１タブにおける短絡の発生を抑制できる。   In this invention, it is preferable that the part formed in the surface of the said 1st tab in the said insulating layer protrudes rather than the edge part of the said separator in the said 2nd direction. As a result, even when the first tab is in a state of facing the second electrode sheet without passing through the separator due to the position shift, shrinkage or breakage of the separator, the gap between the metal foil of the first tab and the second electrode sheet The occurrence of a short circuit in the first tab can be suppressed by interposing the insulating layer in the first tab.

本発明では、前記活物質非形成部において、前記金属箔の端面にも前記絶縁層が形成されていることが好ましい。これにより、第１電極シートの活物質非形成部における短絡の発生をより効果的に抑制できる。また、第１電極シートの前記縁部の端面が絶縁層で被覆されていることにより、この縁部の端面での短絡の抑制を図りつつ、第１電極シートの縁部よりも第２方向の外側に位置するセパレータの縁部に対して、第１電極シートの縁部を近づけて配置しやすくなる。そのため、第１電極シートを第２方向に拡大することができ、これにより、電池容量の増大を図ることができる。   In this invention, it is preferable that the said insulating layer is also formed in the end surface of the said metal foil in the said active material non-formation part. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the short circuit in the active material non-formation part of a 1st electrode sheet can be suppressed more effectively. In addition, since the end face of the edge portion of the first electrode sheet is covered with the insulating layer, the short-circuiting at the end face of the edge portion is suppressed, and the edge direction of the first electrode sheet is more in the second direction than the edge portion of the first electrode sheet. It becomes easy to arrange the edge of the first electrode sheet closer to the edge of the separator located outside. Therefore, the first electrode sheet can be expanded in the second direction, thereby increasing the battery capacity.

本発明において、前記第２電極シートが、前記第１方向に直線状に延びる縁部、及び、該縁部から前記第２方向に延びる第２タブを有する場合、前記第１タブと前記第２タブは、前記第２方向の同じ側に突出すると共に、前記第１方向に間隔を空けて配置されてもよい。この場合、この種の蓄電素子において上述の効果を得ることができる。   In the present invention, when the second electrode sheet has an edge extending linearly in the first direction and a second tab extending from the edge in the second direction, the first tab and the second tab The tabs may protrude on the same side in the second direction and be spaced apart in the first direction. In this case, the above-described effects can be obtained in this type of power storage element.

本発明において、前記第１電極シートが、前記第１方向に間隔を空けて配置された複数の前記第１タブを備え、前記第１電極シートと前記第２電極シートが、前記セパレータを介して相互に重ねられながら前記第２方向に平行な軸周りに巻回されることで、巻回体を形成している場合、前記巻回体は、前記複数の第１タブを積層してなる第１タブ束を備えてもよい。この場合、第１タブの基部の剛性が絶縁層によって高められていることにより、第１電極シートを巻回する際に、該第１電極シートの厚み方向に反るような第１タブの撓みが抑制される。そのため、第１電極シートを巻回して複数の第１タブを重ねるときに、第１タブ同士が引っ掛かり難くなり、これにより、各第１タブの折れが抑制される。   In the present invention, the first electrode sheet includes a plurality of the first tabs arranged at intervals in the first direction, and the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet are interposed via the separator. When the wound body is formed by being wound around an axis parallel to the second direction while being stacked on each other, the wound body is formed by stacking the plurality of first tabs. One tab bundle may be provided. In this case, since the rigidity of the base portion of the first tab is enhanced by the insulating layer, when the first electrode sheet is wound, the deflection of the first tab is warped in the thickness direction of the first electrode sheet. Is suppressed. For this reason, when the first electrode sheet is wound and the plurality of first tabs are stacked, the first tabs are not easily caught with each other, and thus the folding of each first tab is suppressed.

本発明において、前記巻回体が、前記軸の延びる方向から見て相互に平行な直線状に延びる一対のフラット部と、該一対のフラット部間を繋ぐ一対の湾曲部とを備える場合、前記第１タブ束は、前記フラット部に設けられてもよい。この場合、この種の蓄電素子において上述の効果を得ることができる。   In the present invention, when the wound body includes a pair of flat portions extending linearly parallel to each other when viewed from the extending direction of the shaft, and a pair of curved portions connecting the pair of flat portions, The first tab bundle may be provided on the flat portion. In this case, the above-described effects can be obtained in this type of power storage element.

本発明に係る蓄電素子が、複数の前記第１電極シートと複数の前記第２電極シートが前記セパレータを介して交互に積層されてなる積層体を備える場合、前記積層体は、前記複数の第１電極シートのそれぞれに設けられた前記第１タブを積層してなる第１タブ束を備えてもよい。この場合、この種の蓄電素子において上述の効果を得ることができる。   When the electricity storage device according to the present invention includes a laminate in which a plurality of the first electrode sheets and a plurality of the second electrode sheets are alternately laminated via the separator, the laminate includes the plurality of first electrodes. You may provide the 1st tab bundle formed by laminating | stacking the said 1st tab provided in each of 1 electrode sheet | seat. In this case, the above-described effects can be obtained in this type of power storage element.

本発明によれば、セパレータの位置ずれ、収縮又は破損等によって第１電極シートが第２電極シートに直接対向する状態になった場合でも、第１電極シートの活物質非形成部と第２電極シートとの間に絶縁層が介在することで、第１電極シートの活物質非形成部における短絡の発生を抑制できる。   According to the present invention, even when the first electrode sheet is directly opposed to the second electrode sheet due to misalignment, contraction or breakage of the separator, the active material non-forming portion of the first electrode sheet and the second electrode Occurrence of a short circuit in the active material non-forming part of the first electrode sheet can be suppressed by interposing the insulating layer between the sheet and the sheet.

End surfaces 20a and 20b are formed. The electrode body 20 is disposed so as to face the winding axis X, and a pair of flat portions 20c and 20c extending linearly parallel to each other when viewed from the direction in which the winding axis X extends, and the direction in which the winding axis X extends. And a pair of curved portions 20d, 20d extending so as to be curved in a semicircular shape and connecting between the pair of flat portions 20c, 20c.

なお、フラット部２０ｃは、設計上において直線状に延びる部分である。実際にケース２に電極体２０が収容された状態において、フラット部２０ｃは、完全な直線状に配置されるとは限らず、全体的には直線に近い形状となるように撓んだ状態で配置されることもある。   The flat portion 20c is a portion that extends linearly in design. In the state in which the electrode body 20 is actually accommodated in the case 2, the flat portion 20c is not necessarily arranged in a completely linear shape, but in a state where it is bent so as to have a shape close to a straight line as a whole. Sometimes placed.

負極シート２２は、帯状の負極金属箔２６と、この負極金属箔２６の両面に形成された負極活物質層２７とを備える。負極金属箔２６の幅方向（短手方向）両側の縁部は、負極金属箔２６の長手方向に沿って直線状に延びるように形成されている。負極金属箔２６の幅方向の両側（図３及び図４において上側及び下側）において、負極活物質層２７は負極金属箔２６の縁部まで設けられている。これにより、負極金属箔２６の各面の全体が負極活物質層２７で被覆されている。   The negative electrode sheet 22 includes a strip-shaped negative electrode metal foil 26 and negative electrode active material layers 27 formed on both surfaces of the negative electrode metal foil 26. Edges on both sides in the width direction (short direction) of the negative electrode metal foil 26 are formed so as to extend linearly along the longitudinal direction of the negative electrode metal foil 26. On both sides in the width direction of the negative electrode metal foil 26 (upper side and lower side in FIGS. 3 and 4), the negative electrode active material layer 27 is provided up to the edge of the negative electrode metal foil 26. Thus, the entire surface of the negative electrode metal foil 26 is covered with the negative electrode active material layer 27.

以下の説明では、正極シート２１、負極シート２２及びセパレータ２３の長手方向（図４〜図８における矢印Ｐ方向）を単に「長手方向Ｐ」、正極シート２１、負極シート２２及びセパレータ２３の短手方向（図４〜図８における矢印Ｑ方向）を単に「短手方向Ｑ」、正極シート２１、負極シート２２及びセパレータ２３の厚み方向（図５〜図８における矢印Ｒ方向）を単に「厚み方向Ｒ」という。なお、長手方向Ｐは、特許請求の範囲の「第１方向」に相当するものである。短手方向Ｑは、特許請求の範囲の「第２方向」に相当するものであり、電極体２０の巻回軸Ｘ（図３参照）に平行な幅方向である。   In the following description, the longitudinal direction of the positive electrode sheet 21, the negative electrode sheet 22, and the separator 23 (the arrow P direction in FIGS. 4 to 8) is simply “longitudinal direction P”, and the short sides of the positive electrode sheet 21, the negative electrode sheet 22, and the separator 23. The direction (arrow Q direction in FIGS. 4 to 8) is simply “short direction Q”, and the thickness direction of the positive electrode sheet 21, negative electrode sheet 22 and separator 23 (arrow R direction in FIGS. 5 to 8) is simply “thickness direction”. R ". The longitudinal direction P corresponds to the “first direction” in the claims. The short direction Q corresponds to the “second direction” in the claims, and is a width direction parallel to the winding axis X (see FIG. 3) of the electrode body 20.

図４に示すように、正極シート２１及び負極シート２２の短手方向Ｑにおいて、負極シート２２の幅は、正極シート２１の幅よりも大きい。負極シート２２は、短手方向Ｑの両側において正極シート２１の縁部よりも外側に突出している。セパレータ２３の幅は、負極シート２２の幅よりも大きい。セパレータ２３は、短手方向Ｑの両側において負極シート２２の縁部よりも外側に突出している。   As shown in FIG. 4, the width of the negative electrode sheet 22 is larger than the width of the positive electrode sheet 21 in the short direction Q of the positive electrode sheet 21 and the negative electrode sheet 22. The negative electrode sheet 22 protrudes outward from the edge of the positive electrode sheet 21 on both sides in the short direction Q. The width of the separator 23 is larger than the width of the negative electrode sheet 22. The separator 23 projects outward from the edge of the negative electrode sheet 22 on both sides in the short direction Q.

図３及び図４に示すように、正極金属箔２４には、短手方向Ｑの一方側（図３及び図４における上側）の縁部に沿って直線状に延びる上記の第１活物質非形成部３４から短手方向Ｑ外向きに突出する複数の正極タブ（特許請求の範囲の「第１タブ」に相当）３５が、長手方向Ｐに間隔をあけて設けられている。第１活物質非形成部３４と複数の正極タブ３５は、１枚の正極金属箔２４で構成されており、各正極タブ３５は、第１活物質非形成部３４に一体に連なっている。正極タブ３５は、正極金属箔２４の表面に活物質層が形成されていない第２活物質非形成部とされている。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the positive electrode metal foil 24 has the above-mentioned first active material non-extending linearly along the edge on one side in the short direction Q (upper side in FIGS. 3 and 4). A plurality of positive electrode tabs (corresponding to “first tabs” in the claims) 35 projecting outward in the short direction Q from the forming portion 34 are provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction P. The first active material non-formation part 34 and the plurality of positive electrode tabs 35 are constituted by a single positive electrode metal foil 24, and each positive electrode tab 35 is integrally connected to the first active material non-formation part 34. The positive electrode tab 35 is a second active material non-formation part in which an active material layer is not formed on the surface of the positive electrode metal foil 24.

図５に示すように、正極タブ３５の基部３５ａにおいて、長手方向Ｐにおける正極タブ３５の縁部と短手方向Ｑにおける第１活物質非形成部３４の縁部とのコーナ部にアール３５ｆが付けられている。アール３５ｆ，３５ｆは、長手方向Ｐにおける基部３５ａの両縁部に設けられている。これにより、長手方向Ｐにおける基部３５ａの幅は、第１活物質非形成部３４に近づくにつれて次第に大きくなっている。このようなアール３５ｆ，３５ｆが設けられていることにより、正極タブ３５の基部３５ａ、特にコーナ部にかかる応力集中を分散させることができ、基部３５ａでの破断が抑制される。つまり、正極タブ３５の基部３５ａの強度が高められている。   As shown in FIG. 5, in the base portion 35 a of the positive electrode tab 35, a radius 35 f is formed at a corner portion between the edge portion of the positive electrode tab 35 in the longitudinal direction P and the edge portion of the first active material non-formation portion 34 in the short direction Q. It is attached. The rounds 35f and 35f are provided at both edges of the base portion 35a in the longitudinal direction P. Thereby, the width of the base portion 35a in the longitudinal direction P is gradually increased as it approaches the first active material non-forming portion 34. By providing such rounds 35f and 35f, the stress concentration applied to the base portion 35a of the positive electrode tab 35, particularly the corner portion, can be dispersed, and breakage at the base portion 35a is suppressed. That is, the strength of the base portion 35a of the positive electrode tab 35 is increased.

図３及び図４に示すように、負極金属箔２６にも、正極タブ３５と同様の複数の負極タブ（特許請求の範囲の「第２タブ」に相当）３７が設けられている。負極タブ３７は、短手方向Ｑにおいて、正極タブ３５と同じ側に突出して設けられている。負極タブ３７における基端部を除く大部分は、負極金属箔２６の表面に活物質層が形成されていない活物質非形成部とされている。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the negative electrode metal foil 26 is also provided with a plurality of negative electrode tabs 37 (corresponding to “second tabs” in the claims) similar to the positive electrode tab 35. The negative electrode tab 37 protrudes on the same side as the positive electrode tab 35 in the short direction Q. Most of the negative electrode tab 37 excluding the base end portion is an active material non-formation portion where no active material layer is formed on the surface of the negative electrode metal foil 26.

図３に示すように、正極シート２１と負極シート２２がセパレータ２３，２３を介して重ね合わされて巻回されてなる電極体２０は、複数の正極タブ３５を積層してなる正極タブ束（特許請求の範囲の「第１タブ束」に相当）５５を備えている。正極タブ束５５は、電極体２０の一方のフラット部２０ｃに設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 3, an electrode body 20 in which a positive electrode sheet 21 and a negative electrode sheet 22 are overlapped and wound via separators 23 and 23 is a positive electrode tab bundle in which a plurality of positive electrode tabs 35 are stacked (patented). (Corresponding to “first tab bundle” in the claims) 55. The positive electrode tab bundle 55 is provided on one flat portion 20 c of the electrode body 20.

負極タブ３７は、長手方向Ｐにおいて正極タブ３５から間隔を空けて配置されており、正極タブ３５と負極タブ３７が相互に重なり合うことはない。巻回状態の電極体２０において、複数の負極タブ３７は互いに重ね合わされ、これにより、第２タブ束としての負極タブ束５７が形成されている。   The negative electrode tab 37 is disposed at a distance from the positive electrode tab 35 in the longitudinal direction P, and the positive electrode tab 35 and the negative electrode tab 37 do not overlap each other. In the wound electrode body 20, the plurality of negative electrode tabs 37 are overlapped with each other, thereby forming a negative electrode tab bundle 57 as a second tab bundle.

正極タブ束５５と負極タブ束５７は、電極体２０の一方の端面部２０ａ（図３において上側の端面部）から突出している。また、電極体２０の端面部２０ａを巻回軸Ｘの延びる方向から見たときの長手方向の中心線Ｙに対し、一対のフラット部２０ｃ，２０ｃのうちの一方側（図３において手前側）から、正極タブ束５５と負極タブ束５７が突出している。   The positive electrode tab bundle 55 and the negative electrode tab bundle 57 protrude from one end surface portion 20a of the electrode body 20 (the upper end surface portion in FIG. 3). Further, one side of the pair of flat portions 20c, 20c (the front side in FIG. 3) with respect to the center line Y in the longitudinal direction when the end surface portion 20a of the electrode body 20 is viewed from the direction in which the winding axis X extends. Thus, the positive electrode tab bundle 55 and the negative electrode tab bundle 57 protrude.

図２に示すように、電極体２０の一方のフラット部２０ｃから突出した正極タブ束５５は、電極体２０の厚み方向Ｚ（巻回軸Ｘと中心線Ｙに直角な方向）における他方のフラット部２０ｃ側に倒されるように折り曲げられた状態で正極集電体１５に接続されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the positive electrode tab bundle 55 protruding from one flat portion 20 c of the electrode body 20 is the other flat in the thickness direction Z (direction perpendicular to the winding axis X and the center line Y) of the electrode body 20. It is connected to the positive electrode current collector 15 in a state of being bent so as to be tilted toward the portion 20c.

この状態において、正極タブ束５５を構成する各正極タブ３５は、その基部（基端から中間部に亘る部分）３５ａにおいて湾曲しており、各正極タブ３５の先端側部分（先端３５ｃから中間部に亘る部分）３５ｂは、電極体２０の端面部２０ａの上方に対向すると共に、正極集電体１５の第２平板部１５ｃの下面に沿って配置されている。   In this state, each positive electrode tab 35 constituting the positive electrode tab bundle 55 is curved at a base portion (a portion extending from the base end to the intermediate portion) 35 a, and a front end side portion (from the front end 35 c to the intermediate portion) of each positive electrode tab 35. 35b) is disposed above the end surface portion 20a of the electrode body 20 and is disposed along the lower surface of the second flat plate portion 15c of the positive electrode current collector 15.

正極タブ束５５は、正極集電体１５の第２平板部１５ｃの下面に例えば超音波溶接により接合されている。これにより、各正極タブ３５は、正極集電体１５を介して正極の外部端子１１に電気的に接続されている。   The positive electrode tab bundle 55 is joined to the lower surface of the second flat plate portion 15c of the positive electrode current collector 15 by, for example, ultrasonic welding. Accordingly, each positive electrode tab 35 is electrically connected to the positive external terminal 11 via the positive electrode current collector 15.

図示は省略するが、負極タブ３７も同様に折り曲げられた状態で、負極集電体（図示せず）を介して負極の外部端子１２（図１参照）に電気的に接続されている。   Although illustration is omitted, the negative electrode tab 37 is also electrically connected to the negative external terminal 12 (see FIG. 1) via a negative electrode current collector (not shown) in a similarly bent state.

以下、図５〜図８を参照しながら、正極シート２１の絶縁層４０及びこれに関連する構成について説明する。   Hereinafter, the insulating layer 40 of the positive electrode sheet 21 and the configuration related thereto will be described with reference to FIGS.

図５は、正極シート２１の一方の面側から見た正極タブ３５及びその周辺部を示す拡大図、図６は、長手方向Ｐにおいて正極タブ３５からずれた部分における第１活物質非形成部３４及びその周辺部を長手方向Ｐから見た図５のＢ−Ｂ線断面図、図７は、正極タブ３５及びその周辺部を長手方向Ｐから見た図５のＣ−Ｃ線断面図、図８は、正極タブ３５及びその周辺部を正極タブ３５の突出方向（短手方向Ｑ）から見た図５のＤ−Ｄ線断面図である。   FIG. 5 is an enlarged view showing the positive electrode tab 35 and its peripheral portion viewed from one surface side of the positive electrode sheet 21, and FIG. 6 is a first active material non-formation portion in a portion shifted from the positive electrode tab 35 in the longitudinal direction P. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 5, as viewed from the longitudinal direction P, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC of FIG. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. 5, in which the positive electrode tab 35 and its peripheral portion are viewed from the protruding direction (short direction Q) of the positive electrode tab 35.

図６及び図７に示すように、短手方向Ｑにおいて、負極活物質層２７は、正極活物質層２５よりも外側に突出して配置されている。これにより、蓄電素子１がリチウムイオン電池である場合、充電時に正極活物質層２５から放出されたリチウムイオンを負極活物質層２７に吸蔵させやすくなっている。   As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the short direction Q, the negative electrode active material layer 27 is disposed so as to protrude outward from the positive electrode active material layer 25. Thereby, when the electrical storage element 1 is a lithium ion battery, it is easy to make the negative electrode active material layer 27 occlude lithium ions released from the positive electrode active material layer 25 during charging.

図５〜図８に示すように、絶縁層４０は、短手方向Ｑにおける正極活物質層２５の一方の縁部に沿って、正極活物質層２５の縁部に隣接するように、正極金属箔２４の表面に設けられている。絶縁層４０は、正極金属箔２４の両面に設けられている。絶縁層４０は、正極金属箔２４の第１活物質非形成部３４に設けられた第１絶縁層部４１と、第２活物質非形成部である正極タブ３５に設けられた第２絶縁層部４２とを備えている。   As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, the insulating layer 40 is formed so that the positive electrode metal is adjacent to the edge of the positive electrode active material layer 25 along one edge of the positive electrode active material layer 25 in the short direction Q. It is provided on the surface of the foil 24. The insulating layer 40 is provided on both surfaces of the positive electrode metal foil 24. The insulating layer 40 includes a first insulating layer portion 41 provided in the first active material non-forming portion 34 of the positive electrode metal foil 24 and a second insulating layer provided in the positive electrode tab 35 which is the second active material non-forming portion. Part 42.

図５及び図６に示すように、第１絶縁層部４１は、第１活物質非形成部３４の両側の表面において同様に設けられている。第１活物質非形成部３４の各表面において、第１絶縁層部４１は、短手方向Ｑにおける正極活物質層２５の上縁部に沿って形成されており、該正極活物質層２５の上縁部を覆っている。   As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first insulating layer portion 41 is similarly provided on the surfaces on both sides of the first active material non-forming portion 34. On each surface of the first active material non-formation portion 34, the first insulating layer portion 41 is formed along the upper edge portion of the positive electrode active material layer 25 in the lateral direction Q. Covers the upper edge.

第１絶縁層部４１は、短手方向Ｑにおいて正極金属箔２４の上端面２４ａよりも突出して形成されており、該上端面２４ａを覆っている。第１絶縁層部４１は、長手方向Ｐにおいて第１活物質非形成部３４の全長に亘って設けられている。これにより、第１活物質非形成部３４の両側の表面及び上端面２４ａは、第１絶縁層部４１によって完全に覆われている。   The first insulating layer portion 41 is formed so as to protrude from the upper end surface 24a of the positive electrode metal foil 24 in the short direction Q, and covers the upper end surface 24a. The first insulating layer portion 41 is provided over the entire length of the first active material non-forming portion 34 in the longitudinal direction P. As a result, the surfaces on both sides and the upper end surface 24 a of the first active material non-forming part 34 are completely covered with the first insulating layer part 41.

図５に示すように、第２絶縁層部４２は、正極タブ３５の基部３５ａを含む領域に設けられている。より具体的に、第２絶縁層部４２は、正極タブ３５の基端から中間部に亘って設けられている。正極タブ３５の先端側部分３５ｂは、絶縁層４０に覆われることなく露出しており、これにより、先端側部分３５ｂにおける上述の集電体１５との接続が可能となっている。   As shown in FIG. 5, the second insulating layer portion 42 is provided in a region including the base portion 35 a of the positive electrode tab 35. More specifically, the second insulating layer portion 42 is provided from the base end of the positive electrode tab 35 to the intermediate portion. The front end side portion 35b of the positive electrode tab 35 is exposed without being covered with the insulating layer 40, so that the front end side portion 35b can be connected to the current collector 15 described above.

図７に示すように、第２絶縁層部４２は、正極タブ３５の両側の表面において同様に設けられている。正極タブ３５の各表面において、第２絶縁層部４２は、短手方向Ｑにおいて第１絶縁層部４１の外側に一体に連なっている。短手方向Ｑにおいて、第２絶縁層部４２の上縁部４２ａは、負極シート２２の上縁部２２ａ及びセパレータ２３の上縁部２３ａよりも外側に位置している。   As shown in FIG. 7, the second insulating layer portion 42 is similarly provided on the surfaces on both sides of the positive electrode tab 35. On each surface of the positive electrode tab 35, the second insulating layer portion 42 is integrally connected to the outside of the first insulating layer portion 41 in the short direction Q. In the short-side direction Q, the upper edge portion 42 a of the second insulating layer portion 42 is located outside the upper edge portion 22 a of the negative electrode sheet 22 and the upper edge portion 23 a of the separator 23.

このように、正極タブ３５の基部３５ａが絶縁層４０によって被覆されていることにより、短絡の発生を抑制しつつ、該基部３５ａを絶縁層４０によって補強することができる。正極タブ３５は、上述のように集電体１５との接続のために折り曲げられることから（図２参照）、該折り曲げによって湾曲した基部３５ａに応力が集中しやすいが、該基部３５ａが絶縁層４０によって補強されていることで、正極タブ３５の剛性を高め、耐久性の向上を図ることができる。   Thus, since the base portion 35a of the positive electrode tab 35 is covered with the insulating layer 40, the base portion 35a can be reinforced by the insulating layer 40 while suppressing occurrence of a short circuit. Since the positive electrode tab 35 is bent for connection to the current collector 15 as described above (see FIG. 2), stress tends to concentrate on the bent base portion 35a, but the base portion 35a is an insulating layer. By being reinforced by 40, the rigidity of the positive electrode tab 35 can be increased and durability can be improved.

また、正極タブ３５の基部３５ａの剛性が絶縁層４０によって高められていることにより、正極シート２１を巻回する際に、厚み方向Ｒに反るような正極タブ３５の撓みが抑制される。そのため、正極シート２１を巻回して複数の正極タブ３５を重ねるときに、正極タブ３５同士が引っ掛かり難くなり、これにより、各正極タブ３５の折れが抑制される。さらに、上述のように、基部３５ａにアール３５ｆ，３５ｆが付いているため、巻回時に正極シート２１にテンションがかかっても、基部３５ａへの応力集中が緩和され、基部３５ａの強度が更に向上する。   Further, since the rigidity of the base portion 35a of the positive electrode tab 35 is enhanced by the insulating layer 40, the bending of the positive electrode tab 35 that warps in the thickness direction R when the positive electrode sheet 21 is wound is suppressed. Therefore, when the positive electrode sheet 21 is wound and the plurality of positive electrode tabs 35 are stacked, the positive electrode tabs 35 are not easily caught with each other, and thus the bending of each positive electrode tab 35 is suppressed. Furthermore, as described above, since the base 35a has the rounds 35f and 35f, even if the positive electrode sheet 21 is tensioned during winding, the stress concentration on the base 35a is alleviated and the strength of the base 35a is further improved. To do.

図８に示すように、絶縁層４０の第２絶縁層部４２は、長手方向Ｐの両側において正極タブ３５よりも外側に突出しており、正極タブ３５の両側の側端面３５ｄ，３５ｅを覆っている。これにより、正極タブ３５の基部３５ａは、正極タブ３５の両側の表面及び両側の側端面３５ｄ，３５ｅが第２絶縁層部４２によって覆われている。   As shown in FIG. 8, the second insulating layer portion 42 of the insulating layer 40 protrudes outward from the positive electrode tab 35 on both sides in the longitudinal direction P, and covers the side end surfaces 35 d and 35 e on both sides of the positive electrode tab 35. Yes. As a result, the base portion 35 a of the positive electrode tab 35 is covered with the second insulating layer portion 42 on both sides of the positive electrode tab 35 and on both side end surfaces 35 d and 35 e.

絶縁層４０の材料には、電気抵抗率が高い絶縁材料が用いられる。絶縁層４０の具体的な材料としては、例えば、無機および／または有機の粒子と結着剤とを混合したものが用いられる。無機物粒子としては、例えば、アルミナ（Ａｌ２Ｏ３）、ＳｉＯ２、ＺｒＯ２、ＴｉＯ２、ＭｇＯが用いられ、有機物粒子としては、例えば、ポリイミド粉末が用いられる。結着剤としては、例えば、ポリフッ化ビニリデン（ＰＶＤＦ）、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン（ＰＴＦＥ）、ポリイミド、ポリアミドイミドが用いられる。 As a material of the insulating layer 40, an insulating material having a high electrical resistivity is used. As a specific material of the insulating layer 40, for example, a mixture of inorganic and / or organic particles and a binder is used. For example, alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), SiO 2 , ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , and MgO are used as the inorganic particles, and polyimide powder is used as the organic particles, for example. As the binder, for example, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyimide, or polyamideimide is used.

図６及び図７に示すように、絶縁層４０は、セパレータ２３を介して負極活物質層２７に対向配置されている。特に、絶縁層４０の第２絶縁層部４２は、短手方向Ｑにおいて、セパレータ２３の上縁部２３ａよりも突出している。そのため、セパレータ２３の位置ずれ、収縮又は破損を含む何らかの原因により正極シート２１における第１活物質非形成部３４及び正極タブ３５の基部３５ａと負極活物質層２７との間にセパレータ２３が介在しない部分が生じて、万一、正極シート２１と負極シート２２が接触しても、正極シート２１の金属部分を覆う絶縁層４０が、第１活物質非形成部３４及び正極タブ３５における金属箔２４と負極活物質層２７との間に介在することにより、短絡の防止が図られる。   As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the insulating layer 40 is disposed to face the negative electrode active material layer 27 with the separator 23 interposed therebetween. In particular, the second insulating layer portion 42 of the insulating layer 40 protrudes from the upper edge portion 23 a of the separator 23 in the short direction Q. Therefore, the separator 23 does not intervene between the first active material non-formation part 34 and the base part 35a of the positive electrode tab 35 and the negative electrode active material layer 27 in the positive electrode sheet 21 due to some cause including displacement, shrinkage or breakage of the separator 23. Even if the portion is generated and the positive electrode sheet 21 and the negative electrode sheet 22 are in contact with each other, the insulating layer 40 covering the metal portion of the positive electrode sheet 21 is formed of the metal foil 24 in the first active material non-forming portion 34 and the positive electrode tab 35. And the negative electrode active material layer 27, the short circuit can be prevented.

また、図６及び図８に示すように、絶縁層４０は、第１活物質非形成部３４及び正極タブ３５の基部３５ａの両側の表面だけでなく、これらの端面２４ａ，３５ｄ，３５ｅも被覆しているため、短絡の発生をより効果的に抑制できる。   6 and 8, the insulating layer 40 covers not only the surfaces on both sides of the first active material non-formation portion 34 and the base portion 35a of the positive electrode tab 35, but also the end surfaces 24a, 35d, and 35e thereof. Therefore, the occurrence of a short circuit can be more effectively suppressed.

仮に正極金属箔２４上に、正極電位で溶解する銅のような金属が混入した場合、該金属は、正極金属箔２４上で溶解する。このように溶解した金属が負極シート２２上に析出し、該金属の析出物が成長して正極シート２１に接触すると短絡を引き起こす。   If a metal such as copper that dissolves at the positive electrode potential is mixed on the positive electrode metal foil 24, the metal dissolves on the positive electrode metal foil 24. When the metal thus dissolved is deposited on the negative electrode sheet 22 and the metal deposit grows and contacts the positive electrode sheet 21, a short circuit is caused.

しかしながら、本実施形態によれば、図６及び図７に示すように正極金属箔２４が絶縁層４０で覆われていることにより、負極シート２２の近傍に位置する正極金属箔２４上での金属の溶解が防止され、ひいては負極シート２２上での金属の析出を抑制でき、これにより、金属の析出物を起因とする短絡を防止できる。   However, according to the present embodiment, the metal on the positive electrode metal foil 24 located in the vicinity of the negative electrode sheet 22 by covering the positive electrode metal foil 24 with the insulating layer 40 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Can be prevented, and as a result, metal deposition on the negative electrode sheet 22 can be suppressed, thereby preventing a short circuit caused by metal deposits.

さらに、第１活物質非形成部３４の上端面２４ａが絶縁層４０で被覆されることにより、この上端面２４ａでの短絡の抑制を図りつつ、該上端面２４ａよりも短手方向Ｑの外側に位置するセパレータ２３の上縁部２３ａに対して、上端面２４ａを近づけて配置しやすくなる。そのため、正極金属箔２４を短手方向Ｑに拡大することができ、これにより、電池容量の増大を図ることができる。   Furthermore, the upper end surface 24a of the first active material non-formation portion 34 is covered with the insulating layer 40, so that short-circuiting at the upper end surface 24a is suppressed and the outer side in the lateral direction Q is shorter than the upper end surface 24a. It becomes easy to arrange | position the upper end surface 24a close | similar to the upper edge part 23a of the separator 23 located in this. Therefore, the positive electrode metal foil 24 can be expanded in the short direction Q, thereby increasing the battery capacity.

ところで、正極タブ３５は、正極金属箔２４を所定形状にカットすることで形成される。より具体的には、正極金属箔２４における短手方向Ｑの一端部において、正極タブ３５に相当する部分を除いた残りの部分を切除することで、正極タブ３５が形成される。   By the way, the positive electrode tab 35 is formed by cutting the positive electrode metal foil 24 into a predetermined shape. More specifically, the positive electrode tab 35 is formed by cutting off the remaining part of the positive electrode metal foil 24 except for the part corresponding to the positive electrode tab 35 at one end in the short direction Q.

このような正極金属箔２４のカットにより、上記の第１活物質非形成部３４の上端面２４ａ及び正極タブ３５の側端面３５ｄ，３５ｅが形成され、その後、絶縁層４０の形成が行われる。このように、絶縁層４０の形成が、正極金属箔２４のカットの後に行われることにより、第１活物質非形成部３４及び正極タブ３５の端面２４ａ，３５ｄ，３５ｅを絶縁層４０によって被覆することができる。   By such a cut of the positive electrode metal foil 24, the upper end surface 24a of the first active material non-formation portion 34 and the side end surfaces 35d and 35e of the positive electrode tab 35 are formed, and then the insulating layer 40 is formed. As described above, the insulating layer 40 is formed after the positive electrode metal foil 24 is cut, so that the end surfaces 24 a, 35 d, and 35 e of the first active material non-forming portion 34 and the positive electrode tab 35 are covered with the insulating layer 40. be able to.

絶縁層４０の形成は、例えばスロットダイ方式によるペースト状材料の塗布によって行われる。ただし、絶縁層４０の形成方法はこれに限定されるものでなく、例えば、静電粉体塗装によって、絶縁層４０を形成するようにしてもよい。   The insulating layer 40 is formed by applying a paste-like material by, for example, a slot die method. However, the method of forming the insulating layer 40 is not limited to this, and the insulating layer 40 may be formed by electrostatic powder coating, for example.

以上、上述の実施形態を挙げて本発明を説明したが、本発明は上述の実施形態に限定されるものではない。   While the present invention has been described with reference to the above-described embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.

However, the present invention is, for example, a so-called stacked electrode body 120 as shown in FIG. The present invention can also be applied to a power storage element having “a laminated body”.

図９に示す電極体１２０は、複数の正極シート（特許請求の範囲の「第１電極シート」に相当）１２１と複数の負極シート（特許請求の範囲の「第２電極シート」に相当）１２２がセパレータ１２３を介して交互に積層されてなる積層体である。各正極シートは、上記と同様の第１活物質非形成部３４と第２活物質非形成部である正極タブ３５とを備え、各負極シート１２２は、上記と同様の負極タブ３７を備えている。電極体１２０は、各正極シート１２１に設けられた正極タブ３５を積層してなる正極タブ束と、各負極シート１２２に設けられた負極タブ３７を積層してなる負極タブ束とを備えている。   9 includes a plurality of positive electrode sheets (corresponding to “first electrode sheet” in the claims) 121 and a plurality of negative electrode sheets (corresponding to “second electrode sheets” in the claims).

Each positive electrode sheet includes a first active material non-formation portion 34 and a positive electrode tab 35 that is a second active material non-formation portion similar to the above, and each negative electrode sheet 122 includes a negative electrode tab 37 similar to the above. Yes. The electrode body 120 includes a positive electrode tab bundle formed by stacking positive electrode tabs 35 provided on each positive electrode sheet 121 and a negative electrode tab bundle formed by stacking negative electrode tabs 37 provided on each negative electrode sheet 122. .

このようなスタック型の電極体１２０においても、各正極シート１２１の第１活物質非形成部３４及び正極タブ３５に上記と同様の絶縁層４０が形成されることで、正極タブ３５の折り曲げによって応力が集中しやすい該タブ３５の基部を絶縁層によって補強できるなど、上述の実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができる。   In such a stack-type electrode body 120, the insulating layer 40 similar to the above is formed on the first active material non-forming portion 34 and the positive electrode tab 35 of each positive electrode sheet 121, so that the positive electrode tab 35 is bent. An effect similar to that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained, for example, the base portion of the tab 35 where stress tends to concentrate can be reinforced by an insulating layer.

また、上述の実施形態では、第１活物質非形成部３４を構成する正極シート２１の縁部が延びる「第１方向」と、該縁部から正極タブ３５が突出する「第２方向」とが直角である例を説明したが、本発明において、第２方向は、第１方向に直角な方向に対して傾斜していてもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the “first direction” in which the edge of the positive electrode sheet 21 constituting the first active material non-forming portion 34 extends, and the “second direction” in which the positive electrode tab 35 protrudes from the edge. In the present invention, the second direction may be inclined with respect to a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

さらに、上述の実施形態では、絶縁層が設けられる第１電極シートが正極シートである例を説明したが、本発明は、第１電極シートが負極シートである場合にも適用可能である。   Furthermore, although the above-mentioned embodiment demonstrated the example in which the 1st electrode sheet in which an insulating layer is provided is a positive electrode sheet, this invention is applicable also when a 1st electrode sheet is a negative electrode sheet.

本発明において、第１電極シートの金属箔は、必ずしも金属のみで構成されたものでなくてもよく、樹脂等からなる導電性のコート層（被膜）が金属の表面に形成されたものであってもよい。   In the present invention, the metal foil of the first electrode sheet does not necessarily have to be composed only of metal, and a conductive coat layer (film) made of resin or the like is formed on the surface of the metal. May be.

また、本発明において、第１電極シートの金属箔の表面に形成される絶縁層は、活物質層の縁部の表面に重なって形成されてもよく、或いは、活物質層の表面全体にオーバコートされてもよい。   In the present invention, the insulating layer formed on the surface of the metal foil of the first electrode sheet may be formed so as to overlap the surface of the edge of the active material layer, or it may overlie the entire surface of the active material layer. It may be coated.

さらに、上述の実施形態では、第１電極シートの金属箔の表面だけでなく端面にも絶縁層が形成される例を説明したが、本発明において、絶縁層は、必ずしも金属箔の端面に形成されなくてもよい。金属箔の端面に絶縁層を形成しない場合は、金属箔の表面に絶縁層を形成した後に、第１タブを形成するための第１電極シートのカットを行ってもよい。   Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the insulating layer is formed not only on the surface of the metal foil of the first electrode sheet but also on the end surface has been described, but in the present invention, the insulating layer is not necessarily formed on the end surface of the metal foil. It does not have to be done. When the insulating layer is not formed on the end face of the metal foil, the first electrode sheet for forming the first tab may be cut after the insulating layer is formed on the surface of the metal foil.

またさらに、上述の実施形態では、第１タブの基部にアールが付けられる例を説明したが、本発明において、第１タブの基部には、必ずしもアールを付けなくてもよい。   Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the base is attached to the base of the first tab has been described.
