Definitions
- This disclosure relates to batteries.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a reference electrode which is arranged between a working electrode and a counter electrode with a separator interposed therebetween, and which has a stainless steel core material and a lithium film covering it.
- a battery according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a positive electrode layer having a positive electrode active material layer containing a positive electrode active material containing a lithium element, a negative electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer positioned between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, a reference electrode at least partially embedded in the solid electrolyte layer, wherein the reference electrode includes lithium that constitutes at least a portion of the portion of the reference electrode that is embedded in the solid electrolyte layer. It has a metal member containing a non-alloying metal.

You can prevent it from happening. Therefore, deterioration of battery characteristics due to formation of the reference electrode 40a can be suppressed.
- the initial charge capacity of the positive electrode active material layer 12 is, for example, the charge capacity measured during the first charge. Also, the initial charge capacity of the positive electrode active material layer 12 is equal to the theoretical capacity of the positive electrode active material layer 12 . Therefore, the initial charge capacity of the positive electrode active material layer 12 can also be determined by the type and amount of the positive electrode active material contained in the positive electrode active material layer 12 .
- the amount of metallic lithium 45 deposited corresponds to the charge amount of the current flowing between the metal wire member 41 and the positive electrode layer 10 during charging.

Also, the initial charge capacity of the positive electrode active material layer 12 is equal to the theoretical capacity of the positive electrode active material layer 12 . Therefore, the initial charge capacity of the positive electrode active material layer 12 can be controlled by the type and amount of the positive electrode active material contained in the positive electrode active material layer 12 .

- the metal lithium 45 is less susceptible to residual stress, breakage, peeling, and the like during manufacture of the battery 1a. Therefore, the quality of metallic lithium 45 and the state of contact between metallic lithium 45 and metal wire member 41 are less likely to change due to long-term use and temperature changes during use. Therefore, the potential of each of the positive electrode layer 10 and the negative electrode layer 20 can be stably measured using the reference electrode 40a.

Abstract
Description
従来の非水電解液系リチウムイオン二次電池に用いられている、可燃性の有機溶媒を含む電解液に代わって、難燃性の固体電解質を使用した全固体電池は、安全性および信頼性に関して高い優位性がある。このため、製品化に際して安全装置の簡略化など、コスト面およびエネルギー密度面での可能性の高さから、次世代電池として有望視されており、その開発競争は日を追うごとに加速している。しかし、全固体電池の実用化および更なる性能向上のためには、高容量および高入出力が得られる活物質、高イオン伝導性の固体電解質、最適設計およびプロセス構築など、さらなる開発も必要な状況である。そのため、様々な材料開発、その組み合わせ設計および製造プロセス検討において電池特性を的確に把握することが重要である。特に、正極および/または負極の電位等の電気特性を測定ができることは、効果的および効率的に研究開発を進めていく上で極めて有用である。さらに、電池を実使用する際、動作中の正極および負極等の各電極の電位等の電気特性を測定できると、その測定値をもとにより適切な電池制御を行うこと、および、劣化解析などが可能となり、例えば安全性およびサイクル特性などの性能向上に役立つ。
[構成]
まず、実施の形態に係る電池の構成について説明する。
次に、本実施の形態に係る電池の製造方法について説明する。以下では、上述の電池1aの製造方法について説明する。なお、本実施の形態に係る電池の製造方法は下記の例に限定されない。
次に、実施の形態の変形例について説明する。以下の変形例の説明において、実施の形態との相違点を中心に説明し、共通点の説明を省略または簡略化する。
以下、実施例を用いて、本開示の詳細が説明される。以下の実施例は一例であり、本開示は以下の実施例に限定されない。以下の固体電解質、正極活物質層、負極活物質層および電池の作製においては、全て、露点-60℃以下のアルゴン雰囲気のグローブボックス内で行った。
Li2SとP2S5とを、モル比でLi2S:P2S5=75:25となるように、秤量した。これらを乳鉢で粉砕して混合した。その後、遊星型ボールミル(フリッチュ社製、P-7型)を用い、10時間、510rpmでミリング処理することで、ガラス状の固体電解質を得た。ガラス状の固体電解質について、不活性雰囲気中で、270度で、2時間熱処理した。これにより、ガラスセラミックス状の固体電解質であるLi2S-P2S5を得た。
上記で得られた固体電解質と、正極活物質としてLi(NiCoMn)O2(以下、NCMと表記する)とを、30:70の体積比率で秤量した。これらをメノウ乳鉢で混合することで、正極材料を作製した。次いで、正極材料を基材上に塗布し、加圧することで正極活物質層を得た。
上記で得られた固体電解質と、負極活物質としてLi4Ti5O12(以下、LTOと表記する)とを、40:60の体積比率で秤量した。これらをメノウ乳鉢で混合することで、負極材料を作製した。次いで、負極材料を基材上に塗布し、加圧することで負極活物質層を得た。
上記で得られた固体電解質、正極活物質層および負極活物質層を用いて、下記の工程を実施した。まず、固体電解質40mgを秤量し、内径部の断面積が0.7cm2の絶縁性シリンダーの中に入れ、50MPaで加圧成型した。続いて、加圧成型した固体電解質の一方の面に、絶縁性シリンダーを左右横断するように直径250μmのステンレス線を配置し、さらにステンレス線を覆うように固体電解質40mgを加えて、50MPaで加圧成型した。これによりステンレス線が埋め込まれた固体電解質層を形成した。
作製した電池の負極集電体に付設したリード線をステンレス線に繋ぎ変えて、60℃にて、正極活物質層の理論容量に対して0.001Cレート(つまり1000時間率)となる電流値2.5μAで、10時間の充電を行うことでステンレス線上に金属リチウムを析出させた。これにより、ステンレス線上に0.025mAhに相当する金属リチウムを析出させた。ステンレス線上で析出した金属リチウム量をa(mAh)とし、金属リチウム析出後の正極活物質層の初期充電容量をb(mAh)とすると、a+bが金属リチウム析出前の正極活物質層の理論容量であるため、(a+b)/a=100である。
