That is, the packaged solid-state battery of the present disclosure includes a portion where the solid-state battery 100 and the exterior portion 150 are spaced apart from each other and a portion where the solid-state battery 100 and the exterior portion 150 are in contact. In such a configuration, the spaced apart opposing portions may be located between the end electrode 140 and the exterior portion 150. In short, the packaged solid state battery of the present disclosure includes a portion where the end electrode 140 and the exterior portion 150 face each other and are separated from each other. This means that the exterior part 150 can be provided so as to cover the solid state battery with end electrodes, at least partially separated from the end electrodes 140.
- the solid battery 100 covered by the exterior part 150 includes a first main surface 100A facing the substrate 200 and a second main surface 100B located opposite the first main surface 100A. That is, assuming a typical solid state battery that has two opposing main surfaces, the second main surface 100B located opposite to the substrate 200 is the main surface on the mounting surface side in the SMD type. It may also be referred to as a "bottom surface” or “lower surface.” Further, the second main surface 100B refers to a main surface located on the opposite side of the first main surface 100A, and can also be referred to as a "top surface", “top surface”, or "upper surface”.
- the "side surface of the solid-state battery” means the surface connecting the first main surface 100A and the second main surface 100B.
- the end surface electrode 140 may be provided on each of two mutually opposing side surfaces 100C of the solid state battery 100. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, a positive end surface electrode 140A connected to the positive electrode layer 110 and a negative end surface electrode 140B connected to the negative electrode layer 120 are arranged on two side surfaces 100C facing each other. It's okay to stay.
- the cavity 180 may be provided in at least one of the positive end surface electrode 140A and the negative end surface electrode 140B. That is, the exterior part 150 may cover the solid battery, including a portion that faces and is spaced apart from at least one of the positive end surface electrode 140A and the negative end surface electrode 140B.
- the exterior portion 150 may include the covering insulating layer 160.

- the direction of expansion and contraction is the same direction as the direction in which the end electrodes 140 extend (see FIG. 1). That is, the direction of expansion and contraction can also be understood to be the same direction as the extending direction of the side surface 100C of the solid battery.
- the end face electrode 140 is joined to the solid state battery 100.
- the exterior part 150 is disposed on the solid battery 100 via the end electrode 140 in a region covering the end electrode 140.
- the force acting in the extending direction of the end electrode 140 due to expansion and contraction of the solid battery is difficult to propagate to the exterior part 150. Therefore, the exterior portion 150 may have poor ability to follow the expansion and contraction of the solid state battery 100.
- the exterior part 150 may be inferior in ability to follow the expansion and contraction of the solid battery 100 compared to the end electrode 140. Therefore, when the end electrode 140 and the exterior part 150 are bonded to each other, the exterior part 150 restrains the end electrode 140 at the joint surface with the end electrode 140 (i.e., the outer surface 145 of the end electrode). , deformation of the end electrode 140 that follows the expansion and contraction of the solid battery 100 can be suppressed. As a result, when the solid battery 100 expands and contracts, the outer surface 145 of the end electrode 140 is not easily deformed due to the restraint by the exterior part 150, while the inner surface of the end electrode 140 that is physically connected to the solid battery 100 is hard to deform. The side surface easily deforms following the expansion and contraction. As a result, the ease of deformation is different between the inner surface of the end electrode 140 and the outer surface 145 of the end electrode joined to the exterior part 150, which may cause distortion inside the end electrode 140. There is a possibility that the end electrode 140 may be damaged.

That is, by providing the gap 180 between the end electrode 140 and the exterior part 150, the restriction of the outer side of the end electrode 140 by the exterior part 150 can be relaxed as a whole. Therefore, when the end electrode 140 deforms due to a volume change such as expansion and contraction of the solid battery 100, the influence of restraint by the exterior part 150 can be reduced. As a result, distortion within the end electrode 140 caused by expansion and contraction of the solid battery 100 can be suppressed, and the risk of damage to the end electrode 140 can be reduced.
- the exterior part 150 is in physical contact with the second main surface 100B of the solid battery. Therefore, when the solid battery 100 expands and contracts in the stacking direction of the electrode layers, the exterior part 150 located on the second main surface 100B of the solid battery can suitably follow the expansion and contraction direction of the solid battery 100. . Furthermore, the exterior portion 150 is also bonded to a substrate 200 on which the solid battery 100 is placed. Such bonding can play a role in helping suitably hold the exterior part 150 on the solid state battery 100. Therefore, even in the embodiment in which the gap 180 is formed between the end electrode 140 and the exterior part 150 as described above, the exterior part 150 is easily damaged and/or peeled off due to deformation due to expansion and contraction of the solid battery. It can be suitably held on the solid state battery 100 without having to do so.

According to this configuration, the contact portion 145B can contribute to supporting the exterior portion 150 on the end surface electrode 140. For example, even when stress is applied near the cavity 180, the stress is suitably dispersed to the end electrode 140 and/or the exterior portion 150 by the contact portion 145B, and damage to the end electrode 140 and the exterior portion 150 can be prevented. .
- the strength of the exterior portion 150 as a whole can be improved. Further, in the contact portion 145B, the end electrode 140 can be held on the solid battery 100 by the exterior portion 150.
- the contact portion 145B between the end electrode 140 and the exterior part 150 can suitably hold the end electrode 140 on the solid-state battery, and can help prevent the end electrode 140 from peeling off from the solid-state battery.

- the "top side end” and the “bottom side end” respectively refer to the end 141 located on the distal side with respect to the substrate 200 and the end portion 141 located on the proximal side with respect to the substrate 200 in the end electrode 140. This corresponds to the end portion 141. That is, the contact portion between the end electrode 140 and the exterior part 150 may be positioned at the end 141 of the end electrode located on the second main surface 100B side and/or the substrate 200 side of the solid battery.
- the exterior portion 150 includes a contact portion with the end portion 141 of the end electrode, the joint portion between the end portion 141 of the end electrode and the solid battery 100 is covered by the exterior portion 150.
- the end portion 141 of the end electrode can be suitably held between the solid battery by the exterior portion 150. Therefore, it may be possible to suitably prevent the end face electrode from peeling off from the solid state battery due to expansion and contraction of the solid state battery 100.
- the infiltration of water vapor from the joint between the end electrode 140 and the solid battery 100 into the solid battery 100 is suitably suppressed. obtain.

- the end electrode 140 can extend along the side surface 100C, and the first main surface 100A and/or the second main surface 100B of the solid state battery. That is, since the bonding area between the end electrode 140 and the solid battery 100 becomes larger, it may be possible to suitably prevent separation of the end electrode due to a change in the volume of the solid battery. Furthermore, the exterior part 150 and the end electrode 140 are joined to each other at the end 141 of the end electrode extending on the first main surface 100A and/or the second main surface 100B, so that the end electrode 140 is It can be suitably held on the solid battery 100 by the portion 150.
