Definitions
- lithium ion secondary batteries including lithium as an active material particularly have high voltage and high energy density.
- Wound-type batteries have an electrode plate assembly in which a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are wound with a separator interposed between the electrode plates.
- the positive electrode plate comprises a positive electrode active material part and a positive electrode current collector carrying the positive electrode active material part
- the negative electrode plate comprises a negative electrode active material part and a negative electrode current collector carrying the negative electrode active material part.
- the positive electrode active material part comprises a positive electrode active material capable of absorbing or desorbing a lithium ion during charge and discharge
- the negative electrode active material part comprises a negative electrode active material capable of absorbing or desorbing a lithium ion during charge and discharge.
- the electrode plate assembly is accommodated with an electrolyte in a battery case.
- the electrode plates and the separator are deformed where they are bent or curved. Such deformation may trigger an internal short-circuit. Also, deviation in position of the separator upon the winding of the electrode plates may induce an internal short-circuit.
- the inventors of the present invention have focused on eliminating the main cause of the internal short-circuit in wound-type lithium ion secondary batteries.
- the internal short-circuit may be classified into the following four types:
- the inventors of the present invention observed the presence or absence of a spark and ignition by decomposing overcharged batteries into respective parts and bringing the respective parts in direct contact with each other. As a result, in short-circuit types (1) and (2), neither spark nor ignition occurred, but in short-circuit type (3), a spark and ignition occurred. In short-circuit type (4), although a spark occurred, ignition did not take place.
- short-circuit type (4) In short-circuit type (4), a spark is caused by the short-circuit between the conductive current collectors. However, since the current collectors themselves are not flammable, the short-circuit does not result in ignition.
- short-circuit type (3) since the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material are both conductive, the short-circuit between them causes a spark, resulting in ignition of the flammable negative electrode active material.
- short-circuit type (3) is the main cause of the internal short-circuit.
- the short-circuit type (3) actually takes place when conductive burrs come in contact with the surface of the negative electrode active material part. The burrs are produced when the positive electrode current collector is slit.
- Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-30742 proposes to prevent the short-circuit by regulating the dimensions of the electrode plates and the separator.
- Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-2133308 proposes to use a current collector comprising a resin film such as polyethylene terephthalate and a metal deposited film formed on the surface of the resin film in such an electrode plate assembly.
- an object of the present invention is to produce a wound-type lithium ion secondary battery with high safety by preventing the short-circuit between burrs of a positive electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material part.
- a lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with the present invention includes: (a) a positive electrode plate comprising a positive electrode active material part and a positive electrode current collector carrying the positive electrode active material part, the positive electrode active material part comprising a positive electrode active material capable of absorbing or desorbing a lithium ion during charge and discharge; (b) a negative electrode plate comprising a negative electrode active material part and a negative electrode current collector carrying the negative electrode active material part, the negative electrode active material part comprising a negative electrode active material capable of absorbing or desorbing a lithium ion during charge and discharge; (c) a separator interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate; (d) an electrolyte; and (e) a battery case accommodating the positive electrode plate, the negative electrode plate, the separator, and the electrolyte.
- the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are wound with the separator interposed therebetween, thereby to form an electrode plate assembly.
- the lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with the present invention has either one of the following characteristics [A] to [E] with respect to the electrode plate assembly:
- Each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part.

- Each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector, each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part, and exposed parts of the positive electrode current collector which are not covered with the positive electrode active material part are coated with an insulating material.
- the positive electrode current collector comprises an insulating sheet and a conductive layer formed on each side of the insulating sheet, and an exposed part of the insulating sheet which is not covered with the conductive layer is provided at each lengthwise edge of the insulating sheet.
- Each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode plate is coated with an insulating material.
- separator woven fabric, non-woven fabric or a micro-porous film comprising, for example, polyolefin may be used.

- FIG. 17 is another top view of the positive electrode current collector, showing the process for producing the positive electrode plate in Example 4 of the present invention.
- FIG. 18 is a front view of the positive electrode plate in Example 4 of the present invention.
- the lithium ion secondary battery in this embodiment has such a structure that each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part.
- a non-active material part which does not absorb or desorb a lithium ion during charge and discharge may be carried.
- the non-active material part can stabilize the edges of the positive electrode current collector.
- the thickness of the non-active material part is preferably the same as that of the positive electrode active material part so that there is no difference in height between them and they make a flat, smooth surface, since this makes winding deviation unlikely to occur upon winding of the electrode plates.
- the use of an insulating material as the non-active material part can suppress not only the short-circuit between the burrs of the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material part but also general short-circuits.
- each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part be positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part. This arrangement allows the opposing negative electrode active material to securely receive Li ions released from the positive electrode active material during charge, thereby preventing such problems as unevenness of the load of the negative electrode active material and deposition of metal lithium.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of a positive electrode plate 110 , a negative electrode plate 120 and a separator 130 in an electrode plate assembly of this embodiment.
- the respective elements are illustrated with a space interposed between them in the stacking direction.
- the positive electrode plate 110 comprises a positive electrode current collector 111 and a positive electrode active material part 112
- the negative electrode plate 120 comprises a negative electrode current collector 121 and a negative electrode active material part 122 .
- the positive electrode plate 110 and the negative electrode plate 120 are opposed to each other with the separator 130 interposed between them. Between an edge 111 a of the positive electrode current collector and an edge 112 a of the positive electrode active material part and between an edge 111 b of the positive electrode current collector and an edge 112 b of the positive electrode active material part, there is no coating of the positive electrode active material, and it is preferable to form a non-active material part 113 therebetween.
- the lengthwise edges 111 a and 111 b of the positive electrode current collector 111 are positioned on outer sides of lengthwise edges 122 a and 122 b of the negative electrode active material part 122 . Thus, even if burrs occur at the edge 111 a or 111 b of the positive electrode current collector and pierce the separator 130 , this arrangement does not cause a short-circuit between the burrs and the negative electrode active material part 122 .
- the interval between the edge 111 a of the positive electrode current collector and the edge 122 a of the negative electrode active material part and the interval between the edge 111 b of the positive electrode current collector and the edge 122 b of the negative electrode active material part be from 50 to 300 ⁇ m.
- These intervals are preferably greater than “A ⁇ (B+C)” wherein A is the length of the burrs which are assumed to occur on the slit sections of the positive electrode current collector, B is the thickness of the positive electrode active material part on one side of the positive electrode current collector, and C is the thickness of the separator.
- the length of the burrs which are assumed to occur on the slit sections of the positive electrode current collector is generally 50 to 100 ⁇ m.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of a positive electrode plate 210 , a negative electrode plate 220 and a separator 230 in a conventional electrode plate assembly, and FIG. 2 is illustrated in the same manner as FIG. 1 .
- the positive electrode plate 210 comprises a positive electrode current collector 211 and a positive electrode active material part 212
- the negative electrode plate 220 comprises a negative electrode current collector 221 and a negative electrode active material part 222 .
- Both lengthwise edges 211 a and 211 b of the positive electrode current collector are positioned on inner sides of both lengthwise edges 222 a and 222 b of the negative electrode active material part 222 . In such an arrangement, if burrs occur at the edge 211 a or 211 b of the positive electrode current collector and pierce the separator 230 , a short-circuit occurs between the burrs and the negative electrode active material part 222 .
- the lithium ion secondary battery in this embodiment has such a structure that each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector.
- each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector.
- both the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode active material part are not slit at the same time, and burrs are therefore unlikely to occur.
- the positive electrode current collector 211 and the positive electrode active material part 212 are slit at the same time, and burrs are therefore likely to occur at the edge 211 a or 211 b of the positive electrode current collector.
- each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part be positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part.
- An insulating material part extending in the plane of the positive electrode current collector is preferably disposed at each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector.
- the insulating material part can stabilize the edges of the positive electrode active material part.
- the insulating material part is preferably connected to the end face of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector so that the positive electrode current collector and the insulating material parts at both lengthwise edges of the current collector are integrated. When integrated, the positive electrode current collector and the insulating material parts can be handled as one core member.
- the insulating material part extending in the plane of the positive electrode current collector be a low-cost insulator having good workability.
- the insulating material part include polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, and polyethylene terephthalate. They may be used singly or in combination of two or more of them.
- the positive electrode current collector be wholly covered with the positive electrode active material part.
- the insulating material part extending in the plane of the positive electrode current collector is not an essential element of this embodiment. Instead, the positive electrode active material may be filled between the edge of the positive electrode current collector and the edge of the positive electrode active material part. In this case, the positive electrode current collector is also wholly covered with the positive electrode active material part.
- each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector be coated with an insulating material.

The positive electrode plate comprises a positive electrode active material part and a positive electrode current collector carrying the positive electrode active material part, and the negative electrode plate comprises a negative electrode active material part and a negative electrode current collector carrying the negative electrode active material part. The positive electrode active material part comprises a positive electrode active material capable of absorbing or desorbing a lithium ion during charge and discharge, and the negative electrode active material part comprises a negative electrode active material capable of absorbing or desorbing a lithium ion during charge and discharge. The electrode plate assembly is accommodated with an electrolyte in a battery case.
- In the case of wound-type batteries, when the electrode plates are wound, the electrode plates and the separator are deformed where they are bent or curved. Such deformation may trigger an internal short-circuit. Also, deviation in position of the separator upon the winding of the electrode plates may induce an internal short-circuit.
- In view of the above points, the inventors of the present invention have focused on eliminating the main cause of the internal short-circuit in wound-type lithium ion secondary batteries.
- The internal short-circuit may be classified into the following four types:
- (1) A short-circuit between the positive electrode active material part and the negative electrode active material part.
- (2) A short-circuit between the positive electrode active material part and the negative electrode current collector.
- (3) A short-circuit between the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material part.
- (4) A short-circuit between the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode current collector.
- The inventors of the present invention observed the presence or absence of a spark and ignition by decomposing overcharged batteries into respective parts and bringing the respective parts in direct contact with each other. As a result, in short-circuit types (1) and (2), neither spark nor ignition occurred, but in short-circuit type (3), a spark and ignition occurred. In short-circuit type (4), although a spark occurred, ignition did not take place.
- These results indicate the following:
- In short-circuit types (1) and (2), the resistance of the positive electrode active material itself is large, so that a large current does not flow even if the positive electrode active material part and the negative electrode active material part are short-circuited.
- In short-circuit type (4), a spark is caused by the short-circuit between the conductive current collectors. However, since the current collectors themselves are not flammable, the short-circuit does not result in ignition.
- In short-circuit type (3), since the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material are both conductive, the short-circuit between them causes a spark, resulting in ignition of the flammable negative electrode active material.
- The above observations suggest that short-circuit type (3) is the main cause of the internal short-circuit. The short-circuit type (3) actually takes place when conductive burrs come in contact with the surface of the negative electrode active material part. The burrs are produced when the positive electrode current collector is slit.
- Recently, there has been proposed a stacked type lithium ion secondary battery comprising an electrode plate assembly in which a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are stacked with an electrolyte layer, instead of a conventional separator, interposed between the electrode plates. With respect to such batteries that the electrolyte layer is integrated to the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-30742, for example, proposes to prevent the short-circuit by regulating the dimensions of the electrode plates and the separator. However, the production process of such a stacked/integrated type electrode plate assembly is generally complicated, and heightening the capacity is also difficult. Further, from the viewpoint of making the battery more lightweight, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-213338, for example, proposes to use a current collector comprising a resin film such as polyethylene terephthalate and a metal deposited film formed on the surface of the resin film in such an electrode plate assembly.
- In view of the above-described findings, an object of the present invention is to produce a wound-type lithium ion secondary battery with high safety by preventing the short-circuit between burrs of a positive electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material part.
- A lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with the present invention includes: (a) a positive electrode plate comprising a positive electrode active material part and a positive electrode current collector carrying the positive electrode active material part, the positive electrode active material part comprising a positive electrode active material capable of absorbing or desorbing a lithium ion during charge and discharge; (b) a negative electrode plate comprising a negative electrode active material part and a negative electrode current collector carrying the negative electrode active material part, the negative electrode active material part comprising a negative electrode active material capable of absorbing or desorbing a lithium ion during charge and discharge; (c) a separator interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate; (d) an electrolyte; and (e) a battery case accommodating the positive electrode plate, the negative electrode plate, the separator, and the electrolyte.
- The positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are wound with the separator interposed therebetween, thereby to form an electrode plate assembly. The lithium ion secondary battery in accordance with the present invention has either one of the following characteristics [A] to [E] with respect to the electrode plate assembly:
- [A] Each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part.

- [D] The positive electrode current collector comprises an insulating sheet and a conductive layer formed on each side of the insulating sheet, and an exposed part of the insulating sheet which is not covered with the conductive layer is provided at each lengthwise edge of the insulating sheet.
- [E] Each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode plate is coated with an insulating material.
- As the separator, woven fabric, non-woven fabric or a micro-porous film comprising, for example, polyolefin may be used.
- While the novel features of the invention are set forth particularly in the appended claims, the invention, both as to organization and content, will be better understood and appreciated, along with other objects and features thereof, from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings.

FIG. 18 is a front view of the positive electrode plate in Example 4 of the present invention. - The lithium ion secondary battery in this embodiment has such a structure that each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part. Thus, even if burrs occur at the edges of the positive electrode current collector when the positive electrode plate is slit, this structure makes it possible to prevent the short-circuit between the burrs and the negative electrode active material part.
- On each lengthwise end of the positive electrode current collector, a non-active material part which does not absorb or desorb a lithium ion during charge and discharge may be carried. The non-active material part can stabilize the edges of the positive electrode current collector. Further, the thickness of the non-active material part is preferably the same as that of the positive electrode active material part so that there is no difference in height between them and they make a flat, smooth surface, since this makes winding deviation unlikely to occur upon winding of the electrode plates. The use of an insulating material as the non-active material part can suppress not only the short-circuit between the burrs of the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material part but also general short-circuits.
- In the electrode plate assembly, it is preferable that each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part be positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part. This arrangement allows the opposing negative electrode active material to securely receive Li ions released from the positive electrode active material during charge, thereby preventing such problems as unevenness of the load of the negative electrode active material and deposition of metal lithium.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of apositive electrode plate 110, anegative electrode plate 120 and aseparator 130 in an electrode plate assembly of this embodiment. InFIG. 1 , in order to facilitate the understanding of the arrangement of thepositive electrode plate 110, thenegative electrode plate 120 and theseparator 130, the respective elements are illustrated with a space interposed between them in the stacking direction. - The
positive electrode plate 110 comprises a positive electrodecurrent collector 111 and a positive electrodeactive material part 112, and thenegative electrode plate 120 comprises a negative electrodecurrent collector 121 and a negative electrodeactive material part 122. Thepositive electrode plate 110 and thenegative electrode plate 120 are opposed to each other with theseparator 130 interposed between them. Between anedge 111 a of the positive electrode current collector and anedge 112 a of the positive electrode active material part and between anedge 111 b of the positive electrode current collector and anedge 112 b of the positive electrode active material part, there is no coating of the positive electrode active material, and it is preferable to form anon-active material part 113 therebetween. - The lengthwise edges 111 a and 111 b of the positive electrode
current collector 111 are positioned on outer sides oflengthwise edges active material part 122. Thus, even if burrs occur at theedge separator 130, this arrangement does not cause a short-circuit between the burrs and the negative electrodeactive material part 122. - In employing the structure as illustrated in
FIG. 1 , it is preferable that the interval between theedge 111 a of the positive electrode current collector and theedge 122 a of the negative electrode active material part and the interval between theedge 111 b of the positive electrode current collector and theedge 122 b of the negative electrode active material part be from 50 to 300 μm. These intervals are preferably greater than “A−(B+C)” wherein A is the length of the burrs which are assumed to occur on the slit sections of the positive electrode current collector, B is the thickness of the positive electrode active material part on one side of the positive electrode current collector, and C is the thickness of the separator. The length of the burrs which are assumed to occur on the slit sections of the positive electrode current collector is generally 50 to 100 μm. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of apositive electrode plate 210, anegative electrode plate 220 and aseparator 230 in a conventional electrode plate assembly, andFIG. 2 is illustrated in the same manner asFIG. 1 . - The
positive electrode plate 210 comprises a positive electrodecurrent collector 211 and a positive electrodeactive material part 212, and thenegative electrode plate 220 comprises a negative electrodecurrent collector 221 and a negative electrodeactive material part 222. - Both
lengthwise edges lengthwise edges active material part 222. In such an arrangement, if burrs occur at theedge separator 230, a short-circuit occurs between the burrs and the negative electrodeactive material part 222. - The lithium ion secondary battery in this embodiment has such a structure that each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector. In this structure, when the positive electrode active material part is slit near its edges, both the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode active material part are not slit at the same time, and burrs are therefore unlikely to occur. On the other hand, in the conventional structure as illustrated in
FIG. 2 , the positive electrodecurrent collector 211 and the positive electrodeactive material part 212 are slit at the same time, and burrs are therefore likely to occur at theedge - In this embodiment, it is also preferable that each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part be positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part.
- An insulating material part extending in the plane of the positive electrode current collector is preferably disposed at each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector. The insulating material part can stabilize the edges of the positive electrode active material part. The insulating material part is preferably connected to the end face of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector so that the positive electrode current collector and the insulating material parts at both lengthwise edges of the current collector are integrated. When integrated, the positive electrode current collector and the insulating material parts can be handled as one core member.
- It is preferable that the insulating material part extending in the plane of the positive electrode current collector be a low-cost insulator having good workability. Examples of the insulating material part include polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, and polyethylene terephthalate. They may be used singly or in combination of two or more of them.
- It is preferable that the positive electrode current collector be wholly covered with the positive electrode active material part.
- The insulating material part extending in the plane of the positive electrode current collector is not an essential element of this embodiment. Instead, the positive electrode active material may be filled between the edge of the positive electrode current collector and the edge of the positive electrode active material part. In this case, the positive electrode current collector is also wholly covered with the positive electrode active material part.
- In the case of not providing the insulating material part extending in the plane of the positive electrode current collector, it is preferable that each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector be coated with an insulating material. As the insulating material coating the edges of the positive electrode current collector, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene terephthalate and the like may be used. Alternatively, thermal spraying of ceramic such as alumina may be used to coat the edges of the positive electrode current collector with the ceramic.

positive electrode plate 310 comprises a positive electrodecurrent collector 311 and a positive electrodeactive material part 312, and thenegative electrode plate 320 comprises a negative electrodecurrent collector 321 and a negative electrodeactive material part 322.

lengthwise edges active material part 312 and the insulatingmaterial part 313 are slit, the positive electrodecurrent collector 311 is not slit, so that conductive burrs do not occur. - In employing the structure as illustrated in
FIG. 3 , there is no particular limitation with respect to the interval between theedge 311 a of the positive electrode current collector and the edge 312 a of the positive electrode active material part and the interval between theedge 311 b of the positive electrode current collector and theedge 312 b of the positive electrode active material part, but these intervals are preferably 2 mm or less. - This embodiment is directed to a lithium ion secondary battery including an electrode plate assembly so configured that each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector, that each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector is positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part, and that exposed parts of the positive electrode current collector which are not covered with the positive electrode active material part are coated with an insulating material.
- In such an arrangement, the edges of the positive electrode current collector are opposed to the surface of the negative electrode active material part. However, since the exposed parts of the positive electrode current collector which are not covered with the positive electrode active material part are coated with an insulating material, even if burrs occur on the positive electrode current collector, no short-circuit occurs between the burrs and the surface of the negative electrode active material part.
- As the insulating material covering the exposed parts of the positive electrode current collector, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene terephthalate and the like may be used. They may be used singly or in combination of two or more of them. Alternatively, thermal spraying of ceramic such as alumina may be employed to coat the exposed parts of the positive electrode current collector with the ceramic. Also, an insulating tape may be affixed to the exposed parts of the positive electrode current collector. As the insulating tape, it is preferable to use a tape comprising a base material such as polypropylene and an acrylic resin type adhesive carried on one side of the base material.

positive electrode plate 410 comprises a positive electrodecurrent collector 411 and a positive electrodeactive material part 412, and thenegative electrode plate 420 comprises a negative electrodecurrent collector 421 and a negative electrodeactive material part 422.

At least the part between anedge 411 a of the positive electrode current collector and anedge 412 a of the positive electrode active material part and the part between anedge 411 b of the positive electrode current collector and anedge 412 b of the positive electrode active material part are coated with an insulatingmaterial 413. - Both
lengthwise edges 422 a and 422 b of the negative electrode active material part are positioned on outer sides of thelengthwise edges lengthwise edges material 413. This positive electrode plate does not cause a short-circuit, even if burrs occur on the positive electrode current collector, between the burrs and the surface of the negative electrode active material part. - In employing the structure as illustrated in
FIG. 4 , there is no particular limitation with respect to the interval between the edge 422 a of the negative electrode active material part and theedge 411 a of the positive electrode current collector and the interval between theedge 422 b of the negative electrode active material part and theedge 411 b of the positive electrode current collector, but these intervals are preferably 2 mm or less. Also, there is no particular limitation with respect to the interval between theedge 411 a of the positive electrode current collector and theedge 412 a of the positive electrode active material part and the interval between theedge 411 b of the positive electrode current collector and theedge 412 b of the positive electrode active material part, but these intervals are preferably 2 mm or less. - This embodiment relates to a lithium ion secondary battery including an electrode plate assembly, wherein the positive electrode current collector comprises an insulating sheet and a conductive layer formed on each side of the insulating sheet, and an exposed part of the insulating sheet which is not covered with the conductive layer is provided at each lengthwise edge of the insulating sheet.
- The positive electrode current collector in this embodiment is mostly composed of the insulating sheet, so it is lightweight. Also, when such a current collector is slit, the slit section has an insulating property, so it is free from occurrence of conductive burrs.
- As the material of the insulating sheet, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene terephthalate and the like may be used. These materials are also advantageous in terms of flexibility. As the conductive layer, a deposited film of aluminum, aluminum alloy or the like is preferable. The deposited film may be formed by conventional vapor deposition such as an electron beam method.
- The thickness of the insulating sheet is preferably from 10 to 30 μm, and the thickness of the conductive layer is preferably from 1 to 20 μm.

positive electrode plate 510 comprises a positive electrodecurrent collector 511 and a positive electrodeactive material part 512, and thenegative electrode plate 520 comprises a negative electrodecurrent collector 521 and a negative electrodeactive material part 522.

lengthwise edges current collector 511 have a cut section composed of the insulating sheet, and hence conductive burrs do not occur. Therefore, in spite of the opposed arrangement of thelengthwise edges current collector 511 and the surface of the negative electrodeactive material part 522, the short-circuit between the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material part can be prevented. - This embodiment pertains to a lithium ion secondary battery including an electrode plate assembly, wherein each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode plate is coated with an insulating material.
- Since each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode plate is coated with an insulating material, even if burrs occur on the positive electrode current collector when the positive electrode active material part and the current collector are slit at the same time, the insulating material prevents the short-circuit between the burrs and the negative electrode active material part. For example, each lengthwise edge of the conventional positive electrode plate as illustrated in
FIG. 2 may be coated with an insulating material to carry out this embodiment. - Examples of the insulating material coating the lengthwise edges of the positive electrode plate include polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, and polyethylene terephthalate. They may be used singly or in combination of two or more of them.
- The step of coating the lengthwise edges of the positive electrode plate with the insulating material may be performed either before or after the slitting of the positive electrode plate. When this step is performed after the slitting of the positive electrode plate, the whole slit sections can be coated with the insulating material.
- In this embodiment, it is also preferable that each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part be positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode active material part.

Since each lengthwise edge of thepositive electrode plate 610 is coated with an insulatingmaterial 613, even if the positive electrode current collector has burrs, the short-circuit between the burrs and the negative electrode active material part is prevented. - In
Embodiments 1 to 5, of the four sides of the positive electrode plate, the lengthwise edges/sides have been described in terms of their arrangement and constitution, but the same arrangements and constitutions may be applied to at least one of the widthwise edges/sides of the positive electrode plate. In this case, the short-circuit can be prevented more effectively. Further, the arrangements and constitutions of the positive electrode plates described inEmbodiments 1 to 5 may also be employed singly or in combination. - In the following, the present invention will be more specifically described by way of examples.

- An example of
Embodiment 1 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. - (i) Production of Positive Electrode Plate
- A
positive electrode plate 708 was produced by forming a positive electrodeactive material part 708 b on each side of a positive electrodecurrent collector 708 a. - The positive electrode
active material part 708 b was formed by applying a positive electrode material paste on both sides of the positive electrodecurrent collector 708 a and drying and rolling the applied paste. - The positive electrode material paste was prepared by mixing a positive electrode active material LiCoO2, a conductive agent acetylene black and a binder polyvinylidene fluoride in a weight ratio of 92:3:5. The binder polyvinylidene fluoride was used after being dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). The NMP solution of polyvinylidene fluoride was also used as a non-active material paste in the production of the positive electrode plate.
- The positive electrode material paste and the non-active material paste were applied onto both sides of the positive electrode
current collector 708 a comprising aluminum foil having a thickness of 20 μm in such a manner as to form stripes. -
FIG. 8 is a top view of the positive electrodecurrent collector 708 a on which apositive electrode paste 801 and anon-active material paste 802 are applied. Where the positive electrode material paste and the non-active material paste are not applied, the positive electrodecurrent collector 708 a is exposed, and the width of the exposed part is 40 mm. The length of the positiveelectrode material paste 801 and the length of thenon-active material paste 802 are both 419 mm. The width of the positiveelectrode material paste 801 is 50 mm, and the width of thenon-active material paste 802 is 8 mm for the middle one and 6 mm for each of the left and right ones. The width of the unapplied parts at both lengthwise edges of the positive electrodecurrent collector 708 a is 10 mm. - Subsequently, a
non-active material paste 802′ was also applied to the paste-unapplied parts, as illustrated inFIG. 9 . The thickness of the coatings of the non-active material pastes 802 and 802′ was the same as that of the coating of the positiveelectrode material paste 801, and the total thickness of the dried coatings on both sides was 280 μm. The whole thickness including the thickness of the positive electrodecurrent collector 708 a was 300 μm. - Thereafter, the resultant positive electrode current collector carrying the dried pastes was rolled by a roller having a diameter of 300 mm until the whole thickness thereof became 180 μm, to produce a positive electrode plate hoop having the positive electrode active material parts and the non-active material parts in a striped pattern. The positive electrode plate hoop was slit at the non-active material parts, to produce a positive electrode plate. The positive electrode material density of the obtained positive electrode plate was 3.1 g/cc.

A positive electrodeactive material part 1002 is 419 mm in length and 50 mm in width in the same manner as the coating of the positive electrode material paste. Around the positive electrodeactive material part 1002 is anon-active material part 1003 having a width of 2 mm. - Part of the
non-active material part 802′ was peeled off in a width of 5 mm to form an exposed part of the positive electrodecurrent collector 708 a. To the exposed part was welded apositive electrode lead 716 having a length of 75 mm and a width of 3 mm. The welded part of thepositive electrode lead 716 was coated with an insulating tape. - (ii) Production of Negative Electrode Plate
- A
negative electrode plate 709 was produced in a conventional method by forming a negative electrodeactive material part 709 b on each side of a negative electrodecurrent collector 709 a. - The negative electrode
active material part 709 b was formed by applying a negative electrode material paste on both sides of the negative electrodecurrent collector 709 a and drying and rolling the applied paste. - The negative electrode material paste was prepared by mixing artificial graphite and a binder styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) in a weight ratio of 97:3. The binder styrene-butadiene rubber was used after being dispersed in water.
- The negative electrode material paste was applied onto both sides of the negative electrode
current collector 709 a comprising copper foil having a thickness of 14 μm. Subsequently, the resultant negative electrode current collector carrying the pastes was rolled by a roller having a diameter of 300 mm until the whole thickness including the coatings of the negative electrode material paste and the negative electrode current collector became 196 μm, to produce a negative electrode plate hoop having the negative electrode active material part. - The negative electrode plate hoop thus obtained was slit into a size which was larger than the positive electrode active material part and smaller than the whole positive electrode plate including the non-active material part, to produce a negative electrode plate. The negative electrode material density of the obtained negative electrode plate was 1.4 g/cc. The negative electrode plate was 513 mm in length in the longitudinal direction and 52 mm in width.
- Part of the negative electrode active material part was peeled off in a width of 5 mm to form an exposed part of the negative electrode
current collector 709 a. To the exposed part was welded anegative electrode lead 717 having a length of 75 mm and a width of 3 mm. The welded part of thenegative electrode lead 717 was coated with an insulating tape. - (iii) Preparation of Electrolyte
- An electrolyte was prepared by dissolving lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) as a solute at 1 mol/dm3 in a mixed solvent of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) in a volumetric ratio of 1:1.
- (iv) Assembling Step of Cylindrical Battery
- A cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery as illustrated in
FIG. 7 having a diameter of 18 mm and a height of 65 mm was assembled. The design capacity of the battery was 1400 mAh. - The
positive electrode plate 708 and thenegative electrode plate 709 were placed on opposite sides of aseparator 710 of a polyethylene micro-porous film in the arrangement as illustrated inFIG. 1 , and were then spirally wound to form an electrode plate assembly 711. The electrode plate assembly 711 was accommodated with the electrolyte (not shown) in abattery case 712 with an upper insulatingplate 718 and a lower insulatingplate 719 placed above and under the electrode plate assembly. Thebattery case 712 was composed of a combination of a cylindrical battery can 713 also serving as a negative electrode terminal and asealing plate 714 also serving as a positive electrode terminal. Theseparator 710 was also interposed between the electrode plate assembly 711 and the inner face of the battery can 713. - The
positive electrode lead 716 of thepositive electrode plate 708 was connected to the backside of the sealingplate 714 through the central hole of the upper insulatingplate 718. Thenegative electrode lead 717 of thenegative electrode plate 709 was interposed between the lower insulatingplate 719 and the bottom of the battery can 713. Thenegative electrode lead 717 and the bottom of the battery can 713 were welded inside the central hole of the lower insulatingplate 719. The opening of the battery can 713 was sealed with the sealingplate 714 with insulating packing 715 fitted between the opening edge of the battery can 713 and the circumferential edge of the sealingplate 714, so that thebattery case 712 was hermetically sealed. - The electrode plate assembly of Example 1 had such a structure that each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode current collector was positioned on an outer side of each lengthwise edge of the negative electrode active material part. Thus, even if the burrs produced at the edges of the positive electrode current collector pierce the separator, this structure is considered to prevent the short-circuit between the burrs and the negative electrode active material part. Also, since the non-active material part comprising the insulating material is formed near the edges of the positive electrode plate, the positive electrode current collector is stabilized while a general short-circuit is unlikely to occur. Further, the thickness of the non-active material part is the same as that of the positive electrode active material part, so that there is no difference in height between them and they make a flat, smooth surface. Thus, upon winding of the electrode plates, winding deviation is unlikely to occur.
- An example of Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13.
- (i) Production of Positive Electrode Plate
- As illustrated in
FIG. 11 , 20-μm-thick aluminum foil 1101 serving as a positive electrode current collector and two 20-μm-thick polypropylene films 1102 serving as insulating material parts were arranged in three rows to produce a positive electrode core member. The width of thealuminum foil 1101 was 48 mm, and the width of each of the twopolypropylene films 1102 arranged on both sides of thealuminum foil 1101 along the longitudinal direction was 5 mm. The positive electrode core member composed of the three constituting elements was placed on a coating machine of a positive electrode material paste. - As illustrated in
FIG. 12 , a positiveelectrode material paste 1201, which was the same as that prepared in Example 1, was applied on both sides of the positive electrode core member in a width of 52 mm so as to partly cover the insulating material parts comprising thepolypropylene films 1102. InFIG. 12 , a broken line designates the boundary between the aluminum foil and the polypropylene film. - It is noted that aluminum foil and polypropylene film may be arranged, for example, in five or seven rows, to effectively produce a larger number of positive electrode plates.
- In the same manner as in Example 1, the whole thickness including the positive electrode current collector and the dried coatings on both sides thereof was 300 μm, and the resultant positive electrode current collector carrying the coatings was rolled until the whole thickness became 180 g m, to produce a positive electrode plate hoop having a positive electrode active material part. The positive electrode plate hoop was slit at the laminated parts of the polypropylene film 1102 (insulating material part) and the positive electrode active material part, to produce a positive electrode plate.
-
FIG. 13 is a top view of the positive electrode plate. InFIG. 13 , the positive electrode plate is 428 mm in length in the longitudinal direction and 50 mm in width. - Part of a positive electrode
active material part 1302 was peeled off in a width of 5 mm to form an exposed part of the positive electrodecurrent collector 1101, and apositive electrode lead 1316, which was the same as that of Example 1, was mounted on the exposed part. At each lengthwise edge of the positive electrode plate, there remained a 1-mm-wide laminated part of the polypropylene film and the positive electrode active material part. - (ii) Production of Negative Electrode Plate

- A cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery having a diameter of 18 mm, a height of 65-mm and a design capacity of 1400 mAh was assembled in the same manner as in Example 1.
- The positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate produced in the above manner were placed on opposite sides of a separator of a polyethylene micro-porous film in the arrangement as illustrated in
FIG. 3 , and were then spirally wound to form an electrode plate assembly. A battery of Example 2 was assembled in the same manner as in Example 1 except for the use of this electrode plate assembly. - In the electrode plate assembly of the battery of Example 2, the positive electrode plate hoop was slit at the laminated parts of the polypropylene film (insulating material part) and the positive electrode active material part. Thus, it is considered that no conductive burrs occur at the lengthwise edges of the positive electrode plate.

FIGS. 14 and 15 . - (i) Production of Positive Electrode Plate
- As illustrated in
FIG. 14 , a positiveelectrode material paste 1402, which was the same as that prepared in Example 1, was applied in a striped pattern on both sides of a positive electrodecurrent collector 1401, which was the same as that used in Example 1. InFIG. 14 , the width of the positive electrode material paste was 50 mm for both left and right ones, and the width of the exposed part of the current collector was 8 mm for the middle one and 4 mm for the left and right ones. - In the same manner as in Example 1, the whole thickness including the positive electrode current collector and the dried coatings on both sides thereof was 300 μm, and the resultant positive electrode current collector carrying the coatings was rolled until the whole thickness became 180 μm, to produce a positive electrode plate hoop having positive electrode
active material parts 1501. The positive electrode plate hoop was slit at the exposed parts of the current collector, and as illustrated inFIG. 15 , the remained exposed parts of the current collector were coated with an insulatingtape 1509 having a width of 1 mm, to produce a positive electrode plate. - In
FIG. 15 , the positive electrode plate is 428 mm in length in the longitudinal direction and 52 mm in width. Part of the positive electrodeactive material part 1501 was peeled off in a width of 5 mm to form an exposed part of the positive electrodecurrent collector 1401, and apositive electrode lead 1516, which was the same as that of Example 1, was mounted to the exposed part. - (ii) Production of Negative Electrode Plate
- A negative electrode plate was produced by slitting a negative electrode plate hoop prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 into a size larger than the positive electrode plate. The constitution and size of the negative electrode plate were the same as those of Example 1.
- (III) Assembling Step of Cylindrical Battery
- A cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery having a diameter of 18 mm, a height of 65 mm and a design capacity of 1400 mAh was assembled in the same manner as in Example 1.
- The positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate produced in the above manner were placed on opposite sides of a separator of a polyethylene micro-porous film in the arrangement as illustrated in
FIG. 4 , and were then spirally wound to form an electrode plate assembly. A battery of Example 3 was assembled in the same manner as in Example 1 except for the use of this electrode plate assembly. - In the electrode plate assembly of the battery of Example 3, the edges of the positive electrode current collector were coated with the insulating tape. Thus, even if burrs occur at the edges of the positive electrode current collector, it is considered that no short-circuit occurs between the burrs and the negative electrode active material part.
- An example of Embodiment 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18.
- (i) Production of Positive Electrode Plate
- As illustrated in
FIG. 16 , Al depositedfilms 1602 having a thickness of 5 μm were formed on both sides, at the same positions, of a hoop-shapedpolypropylene sheet 1601 having a thickness of 20 μm in such a manner as to leave an exposed part of the polypropylene sheet having a width of 10 mm or more around each of the Al depositedfilms 1602. Each Al depositedfilm 1602 was 426 mm in length and 48 mm in width. - Next, as illustrated in
FIG. 17 , a positiveelectrode material paste 1701 prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 was applied on both sides, at the same position, of thepolypropylene sheet 1601, one side at one time. Then, at one end of the Al depositedfilm 1602, there was left a 5-mm-wideexposed part 1702 of the Al deposited film where the positive electrode material paste was not applied. The exposedparts 1702 of the Al deposited film were formed on both sides, at the same position, of the polypropylene sheet. - In the same manner as in Example 1, the whole thickness including the positive electrode current collector and the dried coatings on both sides thereof was 300 μm, and the resultant positive electrode current collector carrying the coatings was rolled until the whole thickness became 180 g m, to produce a positive electrode plate hoop having a positive electrode active material part. The positive electrode plate hoop was slit at the parts without the Al deposited film, to produce a positive electrode plate as illustrated in
FIG. 18 . The positive electrode plate was 428 mm in length and 52 mm in width. Positive electrode leads 1816 having a length of 75 mm and a width of 3 mm were fixed, with a conductive adhesive, to the 5 mm-wide exposedparts 1702 of the Al deposited film formed on both sides of the positive electrode current collector, and the open ends of the positive electrode leads 1816 were welded to each other. The fixed parts of the positive electrode leads 1816 by the adhesive were coated with an insulating tape. At the lengthwise edges of the positive electrode plate, the positive electrode active material part is directly carried on the polypropylene sheet in a width of 1 mm without being carried on the Al deposited film. - (ii) Production of Negative Electrode Plate
- A negative electrode plate was produced by slitting a negative electrode plate hoop prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 into a size larger than the positive electrode plate. The constitution and size of the negative electrode plate were the same as those of Example 1.

- A cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery having a diameter of 18 mm, a height of 65 mm and a design capacity of 1400 mAh was assembled in the same manner as in Example 1.
- The positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate produced in the above manner were placed on opposite side of a separator of a polyethylene micro-porous film in the arrangement as illustrated in
FIG. 5 , and were then spirally wound to form an electrode plate assembly. A battery of Example 4 was assembled in the same manner as in Example 1 except for the use of this electrode plate assembly. - In the electrode plate assembly of the battery of Example 4, the slit sections of the positive electrode current collector were composed of an insulating material. Thus, it is thought that no conductive burrs occur and that a short-circuit is not caused by burrs.
- An example of
Embodiment 5 will be described. - (i) Production of Positive Electrode Plate
- The same positive electrode material paste as that prepared in Example 1 was applied on the whole surfaces of both sides of the same positive electrode current collector as that used in Example 1.

The positive electrode plate hoop was slit into a size of 50 mm in width and 428 mm in length. Both lengthwise edges of the resultant positive electrode plate 2 mm in width were immersed in a dispersion of a polyethylene powder (melting point: about 100° C.) and dried, and the polyethylene powder affixed to the edges were then melted to form a polyethylene coating.
- Part of the positive electrode active material part was peeled off in a width of 5 mm to form an exposed part of the positive electrode current collector, and a positive electrode lead, which was the same as that of Example 1, was mounted on the exposed part.
