  A lithium ion battery (secondary battery) according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1A shows a state before winding of the positive electrode body 10 and the negative electrode body 20 constituting the power generation sheet of the lithium ion battery. FIG. 1B is a perspective view of a lithium ion battery. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the positive electrode body 10, the negative electrode body 20, and the separator 30 cut in the thickness direction. The positive electrode body 10 and the negative electrode body 20 constitute a power generation sheet extending in a strip shape by being stacked via a separator 30 (see FIG. 1A). The power generation sheet is wound to form a wound body, and is accommodated together with the electrolyte in the cylindrical case 5 (see FIG. 2).

  The positive electrode body 10 includes a current collector 13 and a positive electrode layer 11 applied to both surfaces of the current collector 13. An uncoated portion where the positive electrode layer 11 is not applied is formed on the current collector 13, and a positive electrode current collecting tab 12 is connected to the uncoated portion. The connection method may be welding or the like. Two positive electrode current collecting tabs 12 of the present embodiment are provided side by side in the longitudinal direction of the positive electrode body 10. However, the number of the positive electrode current collecting tabs 12 is not limited as long as it is two or more.

  The negative electrode body 20 includes a current collector 23 and a negative electrode layer 21 applied to both surfaces of the current collector 23. An uncoated portion where the positive electrode layer 21 is not applied is formed on the current collector 23, and a negative electrode current collecting tab 22 is connected to the uncoated portion. The connection method may be welding or the like. Two negative electrode current collecting tabs 22 of the present embodiment are provided side by side in the longitudinal direction of the negative electrode body 20.

With reference to FIG. 1A, the length of the negative electrode body 20 in the winding direction is M (mm), the length of the positive electrode body 10 in the winding direction is L (mm), and the positive electrode adjacent to the winding direction of the positive electrode body 10 When the interval between the current collecting tabs 12 is T (mm), the number of the positive current collecting tabs 12 is n, and the width of the positive current collecting tabs 12 is W (mm), the following conditional expressions (1) and (2) Satisfied.
M / natural number = T (1)
0.898 <1-{(W × n) / L} <0.995 (2)

By satisfying the above conditional expressions (1) and (2), variation in the distribution of the electrolyte solution impregnated in each part of the positive electrode body 10 and the negative electrode body 20 is suppressed, and a decrease in battery capacity can be suppressed. That is, the positive electrode current collector tab 12 is formed thinner than the positive electrode body 10, and when it is formed as a wound body, a gap is formed around the positive electrode current collector tab 12, and the positive electrode body 10 is interposed through this gap. And each part of the negative electrode body 20 is impregnated with an electrolytic solution.

  The reason why the conditional expression (2) limits the width W of the positive electrode current collecting tab 12, the number n of the positive electrode current collecting tabs 12, and the length L in the longitudinal direction of the positive electrode body 10 will be described. When the area of the positive electrode current collecting tab 12 occupying the positive electrode body 10 is relatively large, the number of uncoated parts to which the active material is not applied increases, so that the battery output decreases. On the other hand, when the area of the positive electrode current collector tab 12 occupying the positive electrode body 10 is relatively small, the amount of the electrolyte flowing from the periphery of the positive electrode current collector tab 12 is reduced when the electrolyte is impregnated. In order to satisfy these problems, the width W of the positive electrode current collecting tab 12, the number n of the positive electrode current collecting tabs 12, and the length L in the longitudinal direction of the positive electrode body 10 are limited.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the positive electrode current collecting tab 12 and the negative electrode current collecting tab 22 are preferably provided at positions that do not overlap with each other in the thickness direction of the positive electrode body 10. The effect of this will be described with reference to a comparative example. FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. 2, and differs from the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2 in that a negative electrode current collecting tab 22 is provided so as to face the positive electrode current collecting tab 12.

  Each of the positive electrode current collecting tab 12 and the negative electrode current collecting tab 22 is obtained by cutting a metal sheet as a base material, but burrs may be generated in this cutting process. As shown in FIG. 3A, when the positive electrode current collecting tab 12 and the negative electrode current collecting tab 22 are arranged to face each other, these burrs may come into contact with each other and short-circuit. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, by providing the positive electrode current collecting tab 12 and the negative electrode current collecting tab 22 at positions where they do not overlap each other, it is possible to suppress a short circuit due to contact between burrs.

  However, even in the configuration illustrated in FIG. 3A, variation in the electrolyte volume distribution can be suppressed by satisfying conditional expressions (1) and (2).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the negative electrode current collecting tab 22 is preferably provided at a position that does not overlap the positive electrode body 10 in the thickness direction of the positive electrode body 10. The effect of this will be described with reference to a comparative example. FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. 2, and is different from the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2 in that a negative electrode current collecting tab 22 is provided so as to face the positive electrode body 10.

  When the lithium ion battery is charged, the lithium ions in the positive electrode layer 11 move to the negative electrode body 20. At this time, in the configuration illustrated in FIG. 3B, since the negative electrode current collecting tab 22 is provided at a position facing the positive electrode layer 11, lithium metal is deposited on the negative electrode current collecting tab 22. When the lithium ion battery is further charged, the lithium metal deposited on the negative electrode current collecting tab 22 may penetrate the separator 30 and contact the positive electrode body 10 to cause a short circuit. In the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2, since the negative electrode current collecting tab 22 is provided at a position where it does not overlap the positive electrode body 10, it is possible to suppress deposition of lithium metal on the negative electrode current collecting tab 22.

  However, even in the configuration illustrated in FIG. 3B, variation in the electrolyte volume distribution can be suppressed by satisfying conditional expressions (1) and (2).

The present invention showing examples will be described in detail. The lithium ion batteries of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 ′ and 1 to 3 below were evaluated by calculating capacity retention rates. The capacity maintenance rate was calculated by subjecting a lithium ion battery to cycle charge / discharge and dividing the post-cycle capacity after cycle charge / discharge by the initial capacity before cycle charge. Specifically, it was calculated from the capacity before and after 1000 cycles of 2C CC charge / discharge in a 50 ° C. thermostat. The capacity was discharged to 4.2V at C rate (1C), paused for 5 minutes, then discharged to 2.5V, then CC-CV charge (4.2V, rate 1C, 0.1C cut) and CCCV discharge (4.2 V, rate 1 C, 0.1 C cut).

Although the capacity retention ratio was higher than 65.0%, when a defective cell was generated, the result was evaluated as “good” because the result was generally good. When the capacity maintenance rate was less than 65.0%, the result was evaluated as x because the result was defective. FIG. 13 is a graph of the evaluation results in Table 1.
