また、正極5にも、正極集電体51に正極活物質を塗布した正極活物質塗布部53と、正極活物質を塗布していないを正極活物質非塗布部55有し、前記正極活物質塗布部の一部または全部に正極集電タブ57が形成されている。
負極4と正極5との間には、セパレータ6が配置されている。
また、セパレータ6は、負極集電タブ47が正極集電タブ57に対向する領域、すなわち負極集電タブ47を正極集電タブ57に投影した場合に図1Bで示す略三角形の重なる部分である対向部分8の間を覆うように配置されている。
したがって、負極集電タブ47と正極集電タブ57が対向する部分を有する正極と負極を積層した場合でも両者が対向する略三角形領域で電気的に短絡することは無い。
図2Aは、正極を説明する図であり、正極5は、正極活物質を塗布した正極活物質塗布部53と、正極活物質を塗布していない正極活物質非塗布部からなる正極集電タブ57を有している。
正極集電タブは、一辺が電極活物質が塗布された部分の外形の延長線上に位置し、他の一辺が負極活物質塗布部との境界線である略三角形の外形を有する正極活物質が塗布されていない部分から形成されている。
融着部61によってセパレータ内部に形成される領域を正極5の幅とすることによって、図2Cで示すように、セパレータ6内に正極5を装着した場合には、正極5はセパレータ6の融着部61によって三方が位置決めすることができる。
負極集電タブは、一辺が電極活物質が塗布された部分の外形の延長線上に位置し、他の一辺が負極活物質塗布部との境界線である略三角形の外形を有する負極活物質が塗布されていない部分から形成されている。
正極5は、図2Cで説明したセパレータ6内部の融着部61によってセパレータに対して位置決めされているので、セパレータ6の外形部の直角に交わる二つの稜と負極4の二つの稜を位置決めすることによって、正極5とセパレータを介して積層する負極4の相対位置を定めることが容易となり、負極と正極の両者の位置関係が正確な積層体を作製することが可能となる。
このようにすることによって、正極と負極との相対位置を特定した積層が容易に行うことが可能となる。
図2Fで示すセパレータ6は、負極集電タブ47と正極集電タブ57の対向部分8に対応する部分には、無孔フィルム63が貼着されている。このように無孔フィルムを貼着することによって、負極集電タブ47と正極集電タブ57の対向部分8での両者の接触を確実に防止することが可能となる。
また、無孔フィルムに代えて、負極集電タブ47と正極集電タブ57の対向部分8のセパレータ6を加熱目潰したり、更にはセパレータを加熱目潰した後に多層化すると共にをしても良い。
図3Aは、負極集電体に負極活物質塗布部43と負極集電タブ47となる負極活物質を塗布していない負極活物質非塗布部45を形成したものである。
そして、負極活物質を塗布していない領域を切断線9に沿って切断することによって、図3Bに示すように負極集電タブ47を形成した負極を作製することができる。
負極活物質を塗布していない負極集電体の金属箔部分を図に示すように直線状の切断線によって切断する場合にはバリを生じることがない。
図4で説明する実施態様の積層型二次電池は、図2で説明した実施態様とは、負極集電タブ、および正極集電タブの上端部の形状、およびセパレータの形状を除き同様である。
すなわち、図4A、図4Dで示すように、負極集電タブ47は台形状の外形を有しており、正極集電タブ57の上端部の負極リード端子取り付け部、および負極リード端子取り付け部が、負極および正極の活物質塗布層と活物質非塗布部との境界に平行である点が相違している。
図5Aは、負極集電体に負極活物質塗布部41と負極集電タブ47となる負極活物質を塗布していない領域を形成したものである。
そして、負極活物質を塗布していない領域が、負極活物質塗布部の両幅から延びる外形線、およびそれと結合する二つの切断線91、92、および負極活物質塗布部と非塗布部との境界線に囲まれた略五角形とすることによって、図5Bに示すように負極集電タブ47を形成した負極を作製することができる。
また、正極集電タブも負極集電タブと同様に、図5Cに示すように正極活物質を塗布していない領域を切断線91、92に沿って切断することによって、図5Dに示すように正極集電タブ57を形成した正極を作製することができる。
図6は、本発明の電極の製造工程を説明する図であり、負極を例に挙げて説明する図である。また、正極についても同様に製造することが可能である。
図6Aに示すように、帯状の負極集電体41Aに、負極活物質のペーストを塗布する。負極活物質の塗布は、負極活物質塗布部43と負極活物質を塗布していない負極活物質非塗布部45が形成されるように間欠的に形成する。負極活物質非塗布部45の大きさは、形成する負極集電タブの大きさに応じて決定される。
次いで、図6Bに示すように、負極活物質を塗布した帯状の集電体を、積層型二次電池の積層体を構成する一つの負極の幅に相当する幅で切断線93に沿って切断する。
この方法では、負極4は、帯状体の長さ方向に対して形状が揃ったものを得ることができるので、その後の回転等の操作が不要となる。
負極活物質塗布部43Aの帯状体の長さ方向の中間点を帯状体に長さ方向に垂直な切断線94で切断すると共に、負極活物質非塗布部45を、帯状体の長さ方向に斜め方向の切断線95によって切断して負極4を得ることができる。
図6D、6Eに示す方法は、廃棄される部材の量が少なくなるが、作製した負極4を回転等によって揃えることが必要となる。
図7は、組電池の一実施態様を説明する図である。図7Aは、電極リード側からみた正面図、図7Bは、電極リード側とは反対側の一部を省略した平面図である。
組電池100は、4個の積層型二次電池1の電極リード15A2~15A4、17B1~17B3を連結導電部材19A1~19A3によって直列に接続したものであり、外部回路との接続用の電極端子15A1、17B4には、矩形平板状のタブ端子21A、21Bが接合されている。
更に、以上のように複数個の積層型二次電池を電気的に直列、並列、直並列に接続して一体化することによって任意の出力電圧、出力電流を有する組電池を提供することができる。
また、これらの電池に、保護回路、制御回路などを装着しても良い。
正極には、アルミニウム箔を正極集電体として、正極集電体上に正極活物質が形成されている。
正極活物質としては、リチウムマンガン複合酸化物、リチウムコバルト複合酸化物、リチウムニッケル複合酸化物、あるいは、マンガン、コバルト、ニッケル等を含むリチウム複合酸化物等のリチウムをドープ、アンドープするリチウム遷移金属複合酸化物を、カーボンブラック等の導電性付与材、ポリフッ化ビニリデン等の結着剤を、N-メチルピロリドン等の溶剤とともに混合してスラリー状として正極集電体上に塗布、乾燥し、ロールプレス機等により圧延することで正極活物質層を形成し正極を作製することができる。
次いで、エチレンカーボネート(EC)、ジメチルカーボネート(DMC)、ジエチルカーボネート(DEC)等のカーボネート類、γ-ブチロラクトン等のラクトン類に、LiPF6等の電解質を添加した電解液を充填した後に、正極リード、負極リードを引出し、漏洩あるいは水分の浸透がないフィルム状外装材によって封口することができる。
フィルム状外装材としては、アルミニウム箔の内面にポリエチレン、ポリプリピレン等の熱融着性が良好な層、外面に強度が大きくアルミニウム箔の保護層としての作用を果たすナイロン、ポリエステル等の層を積層したフィルム状外装材層を用いることが好ましい。
負極活物質はグラファイトに導電性付与材としてカーボンブラックを配合し、結着剤としてポリフッ化ビニリデンにN-メチルピロリドンを加えて負極活物質のペーストを調製した。
正極活物質にはLiMn2O4を用いて、負極と同様に同様に、導電性付与材としてカーボンブラックを配合し、結着剤としてポリフッ化ビニリデンにN-メチルピロリドンを加えて正極活物質のペーストを調製した。
次いで、正極4枚および負極5枚をポリプロピレン製セパレータを介して積層し、外形寸法が82×150×4mmのリチウムイオン二次電池を作製したが、負極集電タブ、正極集電タブにはバリは発生せず特性が優れたリチウムイオン電池を作製することができた。
