Description
本願は全固体電池を開示する。 The present application discloses an all solid state battery.
特許文献1には、積層電極群の外側に、絶縁体を介して2枚の金属板を配置してなる短絡形成兼放熱促進ユニットを備えた、積層型ポリマー電解質電池が開示されている。特許文献1に開示された電池によれば、電池の釘刺し試験時等において電極同士が短絡した場合に、短絡形成兼放熱促進ユニットに短絡電流を流すことで発電要素の電圧を低減することができ、且つ、当該ユニット等にて発生した熱を外部へとスムーズに放熱することができるものと考えられる。特許文献2〜4にも、釘刺し等の電池の内部短絡による熱の発生を抑制するための種々の技術が開示されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a laminate type polymer electrolyte battery provided with a short circuit formation and heat radiation promotion unit in which two metal plates are disposed outside the laminate electrode group via an insulator. According to the battery disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the electrodes are short-circuited at the time of a nail penetration test of the battery or the like, the voltage of the power generation element can be reduced by flowing the short circuit current to the short circuit formation and heat radiation promotion unit. It is considered that the heat generated by the unit or the like can be dissipated to the outside smoothly. Patent Documents 2 to 4 also disclose various techniques for suppressing the generation of heat due to internal short circuiting of a battery such as a nail stick.
発電要素を複数積層しつつ電気的に並列に接続した全固体電池においては、釘刺し試験によって発電要素を短絡させると、一部の発電要素から他の発電要素へと電子が流れ込み(以下、これを「回り込み電流」という場合がある。)、一部の発電要素の温度が局所的に上昇してしまうという課題が生じる。このような課題に対し、発電要素とは別に短絡電流分散体を設け、釘刺し試験において一部の発電要素とともに短絡電流分散体も短絡させ、短絡抵抗が大きい発電要素からの回り込み電流を、短絡抵抗が小さい発電要素だけでなく、短絡抵抗が小さい短絡電流分散体へと分散させることで、一部の発電要素の温度のみが局所的に上昇することを防止できるものと考えられる(図9)。 In an all-solid-state battery in which a plurality of power generation elements are connected in parallel and electrically connected in parallel, when the power generation elements are short-circuited by a nail penetration test, electrons flow from some of the power generation elements into the other power generation elements Is sometimes referred to as “loop current”), there is a problem that the temperature of some of the power generation elements rises locally. To solve this problem, a short circuit current dispersion is provided separately from the power generation element, and in the nail penetration test, the short circuit current dispersion is also shorted together with some of the power generation elements. It can be considered that local temperature increase of only some of the power generation elements can be prevented by dispersing the power generation elements not only with small resistance but also into the short circuit current dispersion with low short circuit resistance (FIG. 9) .
短絡電流分散体は、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層とこれらの間に設けられた絶縁層とによって構成することができる。例えば、特許文献1、2に開示されているように、各種樹脂を用いて絶縁層を構成することが有り得る。或いは、特許文献2に開示されているように、セラミック材料や電池用セパレータを用いて絶縁層を構成することも有り得る。或いは、特許文献3に開示されているように、集電体層の表面を薄い絶縁被膜で覆うことも有り得る。一方、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層としては、特許文献1〜4に開示されているような金属箔によって構成することが有り得る。これにより、通常使用時は絶縁層によって第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層とを絶縁でき、釘刺し時は、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層とを接触させて短絡電流分散体を短絡させることができるようにも思われる。 The short circuit current dispersion can be constituted by the first current collector layer, the second current collector layer, and the insulating layer provided therebetween. For example, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is possible to form the insulating layer using various resins. Alternatively, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, the insulating layer may be configured using a ceramic material or a battery separator. Alternatively, as disclosed in Patent Document 3, the surface of the current collector layer may be covered with a thin insulating film. On the other hand, the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer may be made of metal foils as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4. Thereby, the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer can be insulated by the insulating layer during normal use, and the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer can be insulated at the time of nailing. It also seems possible to short-circuit the short-circuit current dispersion by bringing
しかしながら、本発明者らは、特許文献1〜4に開示された技術を転用して短絡電流分散体を構成した場合、釘刺し時、短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗が安定しない場合があるという新たな課題に突き当たった。短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗が不安定であると、上記の回り込み電流を短絡電流分散体へと効率的に分散させることができず、発電要素のジュール発熱を抑制することができない虞がある。 However, when the short circuit current dispersion is constructed by diverting the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4, the present inventors may newly find that the short circuit resistance of the short circuit current dispersion may not be stable when nailing. Hit an interesting task. If the short circuit resistance of the short circuit current dispersion is unstable, the wraparound current can not be efficiently dispersed to the short circuit current dispersion, and there is a possibility that Joule heat generation of the power generation element can not be suppressed.
本願は、上記課題を解決するための手段の一つとして、少なくとも一つの短絡電流分散体と複数の発電要素とが積層された全固体電池であって、前記短絡電流分散体において、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層と前記第1の集電体層及び前記第2の集電体層の間に設けられた絶縁層とが積層されており、前記発電要素において、正極集電体層と正極材層と固体電解質層と負極材層と負極集電体層とが積層されており、前記第1の集電体層が前記正極集電体層と電気的に接続されており、前記第2の集電体層が前記負極集電体層と電気的に接続されており、複数の前記発電要素同士が電気的に並列に接続されており、前記第1の集電体層及び前記第2の集電体層のうち、少なくとも、釘刺し試験において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層において、複数の金属箔が前記第1の集電体層と前記絶縁層と前記第2の集電体層との積層方向に沿って積層されている、全固体電池を開示する。 The present application is an all-solid battery in which at least one short circuit current dispersion and a plurality of power generation elements are stacked, as one of means for solving the above-mentioned problems, A current collector layer, a second current collector layer, and an insulating layer provided between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer are laminated, and in the power generation element, A positive electrode current collector layer, a positive electrode material layer, a solid electrolyte layer, a negative electrode material layer, and a negative electrode current collector layer are laminated, and the first current collector layer is electrically connected to the positive electrode current collector layer.

「…集電体層において、…複数の金属箔が積層されている」とは、例えば、複数枚の金属箔が重ね合わされた形態のほか、一枚の金属箔が折り畳まれることで断面形状において複数の金属箔が積層されたような形態であってもよい。
"The side to which the nail is pierced" refers to the nail head side (upstream side in the nail piercing direction) after the nail penetration in the nail penetration test is completed. On the other hand, "the side on which the nail is pierced" means the tip side of the nail (downstream side in the nail piercing direction) after the nail penetration in the nail penetration test is completed.
“In the current collector layer, a plurality of metal foils are laminated” means, for example, in a cross-sectional shape by folding a single metal foil, in addition to a form in which a plurality of metal foils are superimposed. It may be in a form in which a plurality of metal foils are laminated.
本開示の全固体電池において、前記短絡電流分散体が前記複数の発電要素よりも外側に積層されており、前記第1の集電体層及び前記第2の集電体層のうち、少なくとも、外側に配置される集電体層において、複数の金属箔が前記第1の集電体層と前記絶縁層と前記第2の集電体層との積層方向に沿って積層されていることが好ましい。 In the all solid state battery of the present disclosure, the short circuit current dispersion is laminated outside the plurality of power generation elements, and at least one of the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer, In the current collector layer disposed outside, a plurality of metal foils are laminated along the stacking direction of the first current collector layer, the insulating layer, and the second current collector layer. preferable.
本開示の全固体電池において、前記発電要素における前記正極集電体層と前記正極材層と前記固体電解質層と前記負極材層と前記負極集電体層との積層方向、複数の前記発電要素の積層方向、前記短絡電流分散体における前記第1の集電体層と前記絶縁層と前記第2の集電体層との積層方向、及び、前記短絡電流分散体と複数の前記発電要素との積層方向、が同じ方向であることが好ましい。 In the all-solid-state battery of the present disclosure, stacking directions of the positive electrode current collector layer, the positive electrode material layer, the solid electrolyte layer, the negative electrode material layer, and the negative electrode current collector layer in the power generation element; Stacking direction, the stacking direction of the first current collector layer, the insulating layer, and the second current collector layer in the short circuit current dispersion, and the short circuit current dispersion and the plurality of power generation elements It is preferable that the stacking direction of the same be the same.
本開示の全固体電池において、前記複数の金属箔の1枚当たりの厚さが、9μm以上15μm以下であることが好ましい。 In the all-solid-state battery of the present disclosure, the thickness per sheet of the plurality of metal foils is preferably 9 μm or more and 15 μm or less.
本開示の全固体電池において、前記複数の金属箔の1枚当たりの厚さが9μm以上15μm以下であり、前記複数の金属箔の枚数が4枚以上7枚以下であることが好ましい。 In the all-solid-state battery of the present disclosure, the thickness per sheet of the plurality of metal foils is preferably 9 μm or more and 15 μm or less, and the number of the plurality of metal foils is preferably 4 or more and 7 or less.
本発明者らの知見では、特許文献1〜4に開示された技術を転用して短絡電流分散体を構成した場合、当該短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触が安定的に保持されず、これにより短絡抵抗が不安定となる。短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触が安定的に保持されないのは、ジュール発熱によって集電体層が溶断したり、釘の進行に伴う集電体層の経時的な変形によって集電体層間の接続が解除されたりすること等に起因するものと考えられる。短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触を安定的に保持するためには、釘刺し時に第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層とが接触する確率を上げることや、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触面積を増大させることが有効といえる。 According to the findings of the present inventors, when the short circuit current dispersion is constructed by diverting the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4, the first current collector layer is formed when the short circuit current dispersion is nailed. The contact with the second current collector layer is not stably maintained, which causes the short circuit resistance to be unstable. The contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer is not stably maintained when the short circuit current dispersion is nailed, the current collector layer may be melted away due to Joule heat, or the nail may be broken. It is considered that the connection between the current collector layers is released or the like due to the temporal deformation of the current collector layer with the progress of In order to stably maintain the contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer when the short circuit current dispersion is nailed, the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer can be stably held. It can be said effective to increase the probability of contact with the second current collector layer and to increase the contact area between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer.
本開示の全固体電池においては、短絡電流分散体を構成する第1の集電体層及び第2の集電体層のうち、釘刺し試験において釘が刺し込まれる側の集電体層において複数の金属箔が積層されている。この場合、短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、一方の集電体層の複数の金属箔が、他方の集電体層に向かって各々突出し、一方の集電体層と他方の集電体層とで接触点及び接触面が複数形成され易い。すなわち、本開示の全固体電池によれば、短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触性が向上し、短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗を安定させることができる。 In the all-solid-state battery of the present disclosure, of the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer that constitute the short circuit current dispersion, the current collector layer on the side where the nail is pierced in the nail penetration test. Several metal foils are laminated. In this case, when the short circuit current dispersion is nailed, the plurality of metal foils of one current collector layer respectively project toward the other current collector layer, and one current collector layer and the other current collector A plurality of contact points and contact surfaces are easily formed with the layer. That is, according to the all-solid-state battery of the present disclosure, the contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer is improved when nailing to the short circuit current dispersion, and the short circuit current dispersion is obtained. Short circuit resistance can be stabilized.

図1〜3に示すように、全固体電池100は、少なくとも1つの短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20(発電要素20a及び20b)とが積層されてなる。短絡電流分散体10において、第1の集電体層11と第2の集電体層12と第1の集電体層11及び第2の集電体層12の間に設けられた絶縁層13とが積層されている。発電要素20a及び20bにおいて、正極集電体層21と正極材層22と固体電解質層23と負極材層24と負極集電体層25とが積層されている。全固体電池100においては、第1の集電体層11が正極集電体層21と電気的に接続されており、第2の集電体層12が負極集電体層25と電気的に接続されており、複数の発電要素同士が電気的に並列に接続されている。ここで、全固体電池100においては、短絡電流分散体10の第1の集電体層11及び第2の集電体層12のうち、少なくとも、釘刺し試験において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層(図1においては第1の集電体層11がこれに該当する)において、複数の金属箔が第1の集電体層11と絶縁層13と第2の集電体層12との積層方向に沿って積層されている点に特徴を有する。 As shown to FIGS. 1-3, the all-solid-state battery 100 laminates | stacks the at least 1 short circuit current dispersion body 10 and several electric power generation element 20 (electric power generation element 20a and 20b).

1.1.1.釘刺し試験において釘の刺し込み側に配置される集電体層
まず、本願にいう「釘刺し試験において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層」について説明する。全固体電池において、短絡電流分散体が複数の発電要素の間に介在して積層されている場合(すなわち、発電要素と発電要素とで短絡電流分散体が挟み込まれている場合)、短絡電流分散体の第1の集電体層及び第2の集電体層のいずれについても「釘刺し試験において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層」となり得る。そのため、この場合は、第1の集電体層及び第2の集電体層の双方とも複数の金属箔によって構成することが好ましい。
一方、図1に示すように、短絡電流分散体10が複数の発電要素20よりも外側に積層されている場合、短絡電流分散体10の第1の集電体層11及び第2の集電体層12のうち外側に配置される集電体層が「釘刺し試験において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層」となる。よって、この場合は、短絡電流分散体10の第1の集電体層11及び第2の集電体層12のうち、少なくとも、外側に配置される集電体層(図1においては第1の集電体層11がこれに該当する)において、複数の金属箔が第1の集電体層11と絶縁層13と第2の集電体層12との積層方向に沿って積層されていることが好ましい。
1.1.1. First, a current collector layer disposed on the nail penetration side in the nail penetration test The “current collector layer disposed on the nail penetration side in the nail penetration test” in the present application will be described. In an all-solid-state battery, when a short circuit current dispersion is interposed between a plurality of power generation elements and laminated (ie, the short circuit current dispersion is sandwiched between the power generation element and the power generation element) Any of the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer of the body can be the "current collector layer disposed on the side where the nail is to be pierced in the nail penetration test". Therefore, in this case, both of the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer are preferably made of a plurality of metal foils.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, when the short circuit current dispersion 10 is laminated outside the plurality of power generation elements 20, the first current collector layer 11 and the second current collection of the short circuit current dispersion 10 The current collector layer disposed on the outer side of the body layer 12 is the “current collector layer disposed on the side where the nail is to be pierced in the nail penetration test”. Therefore, in this case, at least the current collector layer of the first current collector layer 11 and the second current collector layer 12 of the short-circuit current dispersion 10 (the first current collector layer in FIG. 1). And the plurality of metal foils are laminated along the stacking direction of the first current collector layer 11, the insulating layer 13, and the second current collector layer 12). Is preferred.
全固体電池100においては、釘刺し試験時に釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される第1の集電体層11が複数の金属箔によって構成される。当該金属箔を構成する金属としては、Cu、Ni、Al、Fe、Ti、Zn、Co、Cr、Au、Pt、ステンレス鋼等が挙げられる。金属箔は、その表面に、接触抵抗を調整するための何らかの層を有していてもよい。 In the all-solid-state battery 100, the first current collector layer 11 disposed on the side where the nail is to be pierced at the time of the nail penetration test is constituted by a plurality of metal foils.

The lower limit is more preferably 7 μm or more, still more preferably 9 μm or more, and the upper limit is more preferably 20 μm or less, still more preferably 15 μm or less.
第1の集電体層11において、層全体としての厚みは特に限定されるものではない。電池の体積エネルギー密度等を考慮した場合、第1の集電体層11の厚みをできるだけ薄くすることが好ましい一方、釘刺し時における短絡電流分散体10の短絡抵抗を一層安定化させる観点からは、第1の集電体層11の厚みをできるだけ厚くすることが好ましいと考えられる。例えば、第1の集電体層11の層全体としての厚みを20μm以上2mm以下とすることが好ましい。下限がより好ましくは30μm以上、さらに好ましくは36μm以上、上限がより好ましくは0.2mm以下、さらに好ましくは105μm以下である。 The thickness of the first current collector layer 11 as a whole is not particularly limited. In consideration of the volume energy density of the battery, etc., it is preferable to make the thickness of the first current collector layer 11 as thin as possible, but from the viewpoint of further stabilizing the short circuit resistance of the short circuit current dispersion 10 at the time of nailing. It is considered preferable to make the thickness of the first current collector layer 11 as thick as possible. For example, it is preferable to set the thickness of the entire first current collector layer 11 to 20 μm or more and 2 mm or less.

For example, the thickness is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 1 mm or less, and more preferably 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less. When the thickness of the second current collector layer 12 is in such a range, the first current collector layer 11 and the second current collector layer 12 can be more appropriately brought into contact with each other at the time of nailing. The short circuit current dispersion 10 can be short-circuited more appropriately.
図2に示すように、第2の集電体層12は集電タブ12aを備えており、当該集電タブ12aを介して発電要素20の負極集電体層25に電気的に接続されていることが好ましい。集電タブ12aは第2の集電体層12と同じ材質であってもよいし、異なる材質であってもよい。 As shown in FIG. 2, the second current collector layer 12 is provided with a current collecting tab 12a, and is electrically connected to the negative electrode current collector layer 25 of the power generation element 20 via the current collecting tab 12a.

尚、本開示の全固体電池においては、短絡電流分散体10の第1の集電体層11及び第2の集電体層12のうち、少なくとも、釘刺し試験において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層が、複数の金属箔によって構成されていればよい。よって、上述したような、第1の集電体層11のみが複数の金属箔によって構成される形態のほか、第1の集電体層11及び第2の集電体層12の双方が複数の金属箔によって構成される形態とすることも可能である。 In the all-solid-state battery of the present disclosure, at least the side of the first current collector layer 11 and the second current collector layer 12 of the short circuit current dispersion 10 to which the nail is to be punctured in the nail penetration test.

1.1.3. Insulating layer 13
In the all-solid-state battery 100, the insulating layer 13 only needs to insulate the first current collector layer 11 and the second current collector layer 12 during normal use of the battery. The insulating layer 13 may be an insulating layer made of an organic material, an insulating layer made of an inorganic material, or an insulating layer in which an organic material and an inorganic material are mixed. In particular, an insulating layer made of an organic material is preferable. This is because the insulating layer made of an organic material is advantageous from the viewpoint that the probability of occurrence of a short circuit due to a crack is low in normal use, as compared with the insulating layer made of an inorganic material.
絶縁層13を構成し得る有機材料としては各種樹脂が挙げられる。例えば、各種熱可塑性樹脂や各種熱硬化性樹脂である。特にポリイミド、ポリアミドイミド、ポリエーテルエーテルケトン、ポリフェニレンサルファイド等のスーパーエンジニアリングプラスチックが好ましい。通常、熱硬化性樹脂は、熱可塑性樹脂よりも熱安定性が高く、且つ、硬質で脆い。すなわち、熱硬化性樹脂により絶縁層13を構成した場合において、短絡電流分散体10の釘刺しを行った場合、絶縁層13が容易に破断し、第1の集電体層11や第2の集電体層12の変形に対して絶縁層13が追従することを抑制でき、第1の集電体層11と第2の集電体層12とをより容易に接触させることができる。また、絶縁層13の温度が上昇したとしても熱分解を抑制できる。この観点からは、絶縁層13は熱硬化性樹脂シートによって構成されることが好ましく、熱硬化性ポリイミド樹脂シートによって構成されることがより好ましい。 As an organic material which can constitute insulating layer 13, various resin is mentioned. For example, various thermoplastic resins and various thermosetting resins. In particular, super engineering plastics such as polyimide, polyamideimide, polyetheretherketone and polyphenylene sulfide are preferable. In general, thermosetting resins have higher thermal stability than thermoplastic resins, and are hard and brittle. That is, in the case where the insulating layer 13 is formed of a thermosetting resin, when the short circuiting current dispersion 10 is nailed, the insulating layer 13 is easily broken, and the first current collector layer 11 or the second current collector layer 11 is formed. It can be suppressed that the insulating layer 13 follows the deformation of the current collector layer 12, and the first current collector layer 11 and the second current collector layer 12 can be more easily brought into contact with each other. Moreover, even if the temperature of the insulating layer 13 rises, thermal decomposition can be suppressed. From this viewpoint, the insulating layer 13 is preferably formed of a thermosetting resin sheet, and more preferably formed of a thermosetting polyimide resin sheet.
絶縁層13を構成し得る無機材料としては各種セラミックが挙げられる。例えば、無機酸化物である。尚、表面に酸化物被膜を有する金属箔によって絶縁層13を構成してもよい。例えば、アルマイト処理によって、アルミニウム箔の表面に陽極酸化被膜を形成することで、表面に絶縁層として酸化アルミニウム被膜を有するアルミニウム箔が得られる。この場合、酸化アルミニウム被膜の厚みは0.01μm以上5μm以下であることが好ましい。下限がより好ましくは0.1μm以上であり、上限がより好ましくは1μm以下である。 As an inorganic material which can constitute insulating layer 13, various ceramics are mentioned. For example, it is an inorganic oxide. The insulating layer 13 may be formed of a metal foil having an oxide film on the surface. For example, an anodized film is formed on the surface of the aluminum foil by alumite treatment to obtain an aluminum foil having an aluminum oxide film as an insulating layer on the surface. In this case, the thickness of the aluminum oxide film is preferably 0.01 μm to 5 μm. The lower limit is more preferably 0.1 μm or more, and the upper limit is more preferably 1 μm or less.
絶縁層13の厚みは特に限定されるものではない。例えば0.1μm以上1mm以下であることが好ましく、1μm以上100μm以下であることがより好ましい。絶縁層13の厚みをこのような範囲とした場合、電池の通常使用時、第1の集電体層11と第2の集電体層12とをより適切に絶縁することができるとともに、釘刺し等の外部応力による変形によって第1の集電体層11と第2の集電体層12とをより適切に導通させて、短絡電流分散体10を短絡させることができる。 The thickness of the insulating layer 13 is not particularly limited. For example, the thickness is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 1 mm or less, and more preferably 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less. When the thickness of the insulating layer 13 is in such a range, the first current collector layer 11 and the second current collector layer 12 can be more appropriately insulated during normal use of the battery, and the nail The first current collector layer 11 and the second current collector layer 12 can be more appropriately conducted by the deformation due to external stress such as stabbing, so that the short circuit current dispersion 10 can be short-circuited.

全固体電池100においては、複数の発電要素同士が電気的に並列に接続される。このように並列に接続された発電要素においては、一の発電要素が短絡した場合に、他の発電要素から当該一の発電要素へと集中して電子が流れ込む。すなわち、電池短絡時にジュール発熱が大きくなり易い。言い換えれば、このように並列接続された複数の発電要素20を備える全固体電池100において、短絡電流分散体10を設けることによる効果がより顕著となる。発電要素同士を電気的に接続するための部材としては、従来公知の部材を用いればよい。例えば、上述したように、正極集電体層21に正極集電タブ21aを設け、負極集電体層25に負極集電タブ25aを設け、当該タブ21a、25aを介して発電要素20同士を電気的に並列に接続することができる。
1.3.2. Electrical Connection of Power Generation Elements In the all-solid-state battery 100, a plurality of power generation elements are electrically connected in parallel. In such power generation elements connected in parallel, when one power generation element is shorted, electrons flow from the other power generation element to the one power generation element in a concentrated manner. That is, Joule heat is likely to increase at the time of battery short circuit. In other words, in the all-solid-state battery 100 including the plurality of power generation elements 20 connected in parallel in this manner, the effect of providing the short-circuit current dispersion 10 is more remarkable. A conventionally known member may be used as a member for electrically connecting the power generation elements. For example, as described above, the positive electrode current collector layer 21 is provided with the positive electrode current collector tab 21a, the negative electrode current collector layer 25 is provided with the negative electrode current collector tab 25a, and the power generation elements 20 are connected to each other through the tabs 21a and 25a. It can be electrically connected in parallel.
1.3.3.短絡電流分散体と発電要素との電気的接続
全固体電池100において、短絡電流分散体10の第1の集電体層11が発電要素20の正極集電体層21と電気的に接続されており、短絡電流分散体10の第2の集電体層12が発電要素20の負極集電体層25と電気的に接続されている。このように、短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20とを電気的に接続することで、例えば、短絡電流分散体10及び一部の発電要素(例えば、発電要素20a)の短絡時に、他の発電要素(例えば発電要素20b)からの回り込み電流を短絡電流分散体10へと分散させることができる。短絡電流分散体10と発電要素20とを電気的に接続するための部材としては、従来公知の部材を用いればよい。例えば、上述したように、第1の集電体層11に第1の集電タブ11aを設け、第2の集電体層12に第2の集電タブ12aを設け、当該タブ11a、12aを介して短絡電流分散体10と発電要素20とを電気的に接続することができる。
1.3.3. Electrical Connection Between Short-Circuit Current Dispersion and Power Generation Element In the all-solid-state battery 100, the first current collector layer 11 of the short-circuit current dispersion 10 is electrically connected to the positive electrode current collector layer 21 of the power generation element 20. The second current collector layer 12 of the short circuit current dispersion 10 is electrically connected to the negative electrode current collector layer 25 of the power generation element 20. Thus, by electrically connecting the short circuit current dispersion body 10 and the plurality of power generation elements 20, for example, at the time of short circuiting the short circuit current dispersion body 10 and some of the power generation elements (eg, power generation element 20a) The wraparound current from the power generation element (e.g., the power generation element 20b) can be distributed to the short circuit current dispersion 10. As a member for electrically connecting the short circuit current dispersion body 10 and the power generation element 20, a conventionally known member may be used. For example, as described above, the first current collector tab 11a is provided on the first current collector layer 11, and the second current collector tab 12a is provided on the second current collector layer 12, and the tabs 11a and 12a are provided. Can electrically connect the short circuit current dispersion body 10 and the power generation element 20.
1.3.4.短絡電流分散体と発電要素との位置関係
短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20とは互いに積層されていればよい。この場合、短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20とを直接積層してもよいし、上記の課題を解決できる範囲において他の層(絶縁層や断熱層等)を介して間接的に積層してもよい。また、短絡電流分散体10は、上述したように、複数の発電要素20よりも外側に積層されていてもよいし、複数の発電要素20の間に積層されていてもよいし、複数の発電要素20の外側と複数の発電要素20の間との双方に積層されていてもよい。特に、図1に示すように、短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20とを積層した場合において、短絡電流分散体10が複数の発電要素20よりも外側に設けられていることが好ましく、短絡電流分散体10が複数の発電要素20よりも積層方向(複数の発電要素20における各層の積層方向)外側に少なくとも設けられていることがより好ましい。これにより、釘刺し時、短絡電流分散体10が発電要素20a等よりも先に短絡し、発電要素20a等から短絡電流分散体10へと回り込み電流を発生させることができ、さらには、発電要素20a等の内部における発熱を抑制できる。
1.3.4. Positional Relationship Between Short-Circuit Current Dispersion and Power Generation Element The short-circuit current dispersion 10 and the plurality of power generation elements 20 may be stacked on each other. In this case, the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the plurality of power generation elements 20 may be stacked directly, or may be stacked indirectly via another layer (such as an insulating layer or a heat insulating layer) as long as the above problems can be solved. You may In addition, as described above, the short circuit current dispersion 10 may be stacked outside the plurality of power generation elements 20, or may be stacked between the plurality of power generation elements 20, or a plurality of power generations. It may be laminated on both the outside of the element 20 and between the plurality of power generation elements 20. In particular, as shown in FIG. 1, in the case where the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the plurality of power generation elements 20 are stacked, the short circuit current dispersion 10 is preferably provided outside the plurality of power generation elements 20, It is more preferable that the short circuit current dispersion 10 be provided at least outside the plurality of power generation elements 20 in the stacking direction (the stacking direction of the layers in the plurality of power generation elements 20). As a result, at the time of nailing, the short circuit current dispersion 10 can be short-circuited earlier than the power generation element 20a and the like, and a wraparound current can be generated from the power generation element 20a and the like to the short circuit current dispersion 10 It is possible to suppress heat generation in the inside of 20a and the like.
釘刺しによる電池の短絡が発生し易いのは、釘が発電要素20aの正極集電体層21から負極集電体層25に向かって(或いは、負極集電体層25から正極集電体層21に向かって)刺された場合である。この点、全固体電池100においては、釘刺し方向と、各層の積層方向とが一致することが好ましい。より具体的には、図1に示すように、発電要素20a、20bにおける正極集電体層21と正極材層22と固体電解質層23と負極材層24と負極集電体層25との積層方向、複数の発電要素20の積層方向、短絡電流分散体10における第1の集電体層11と絶縁層13と第2の集電体層12との積層方向、及び、短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20との積層方向、が同じ方向であることが好ましい。 The short circuit of the battery due to the nail penetration is likely to occur because the nail is directed from the positive electrode current collector layer 21 of the power generation element 20a toward the negative electrode current collector layer 25 (or from the negative electrode current collector layer 25 to the positive electrode current collector layer 21) It is a case where it is stabbed. In this respect, in the all-solid-state battery 100, it is preferable that the nailing direction and the stacking direction of each layer coincide with each other. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, lamination of the positive electrode current collector layer 21, the positive electrode material layer 22, the solid electrolyte layer 23, the negative electrode material layer 24 and the negative electrode current collector layer 25 in the power generation elements 20 a and 20 b Direction, stacking direction of the plurality of power generation elements 20, stacking direction of the first current collector layer 11, the insulating layer 13 and the second current collector layer 12 in the short circuit current dispersion 10, and the short circuit current dispersion 10 And the plurality of power generation elements 20 are preferably in the same direction.
1.3.5.短絡電流分散体と発電要素との大きさの関係
全固体電池100においては、短絡電流分散体10が、発電要素20のできるだけ多くの部分を覆っていることで、釘刺し時に、複数の発電要素20よりも先に短絡電流分散体10を短絡させ易くなる。この観点からは、例えば、全固体電池100においては、短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20との積層方向から見た時に、短絡電流分散体10の外縁が複数の発電要素20の外縁よりも外側に存在していることが好ましい。或いは、複数の発電要素20の積層方向と各層21〜25の積層方向とが同じである場合において、短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20との積層方向から見た時に、短絡電流分散体10の外縁が正極材層22、電解質層23及び負極材層24の外縁よりも外側に存在することが好ましい。ただし、この場合、短絡電流分散体10の第1の集電体層11と発電要素20の負極集電体層25とが短絡しないようにする。すなわち、短絡電流分散体10と発電要素20との間に絶縁体等を設け、短絡電流分散体10を大きくしても、短絡電流分散体10と発電要素20との短絡を防止可能とする。
1.3.5. Relationship Between Size of Short-Circuit Current Dispersion and Power Generation Element In the all-solid-state battery 100, the short-circuit current dispersion 10 covers as much of the power generation element 20 as possible. It becomes easy to short-circuit the short circuit current dispersion 10 earlier than 20. From this viewpoint, for example, in the all solid battery 100, the outer edge of the short circuit current dispersion 10 is closer to the outer edge of the plurality of power generation elements 20 when viewed from the stacking direction of the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the plurality of power generation elements 20. Is preferably present outside. Alternatively, when the stacking direction of the plurality of power generation elements 20 and the stacking direction of the layers 21 to 25 are the same, the short circuit current dispersion when viewed from the stacking direction of the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the plurality of power generation elements 20 It is preferable that the outer edge 10 be present outside the outer edges of the positive electrode material layer 22, the electrolyte layer 23 and the negative electrode material layer 24. However, in this case, the first current collector layer 11 of the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the negative electrode current collector layer 25 of the power generation element 20 are prevented from short circuiting. That is, even if an insulator or the like is provided between the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the power generation element 20 to enlarge the short circuit current dispersion 10, the short circuit between the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the power generation element 20 can be prevented.
一方で、電池のエネルギー密度をより高める観点及び上記した短絡電流分散体10と発電要素20との短絡を容易に防止できる観点からは、短絡電流分散体10をできるだけ小さくしてもよい。すなわち、この観点からは、全固体電池100においては、短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20との積層方向から見た時に、短絡電流分散体10の外縁が発電要素20の外縁よりも内側に存在することが好ましい。或いは、複数の発電要素20の積層方向と発電要素20における各層21〜25の積層方向とが同じである場合において、短絡電流分散体10と複数の発電要素20との積層方向から見た時に、短絡電流分散体10の外縁が正極材層22、固体電解質層23及び負極材層24の外縁よりも内側に存在することが好ましい。 On the other hand, from the viewpoint of further increasing the energy density of the battery and from the viewpoint of easily preventing the short circuit between the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the power generating element 20 described above, the short circuit current dispersion 10 may be made as small as possible. That is, from this point of view, in the all solid battery 100, the outer edge of the short circuit current dispersion 10 is inside the outer edge of the power generation element 20 when viewed from the stacking direction of the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the plurality of power generation elements 20. Is preferably present. Alternatively, in the case where the stacking direction of the plurality of power generation elements 20 is the same as the stacking direction of the layers 21 to 25 in the power generation element 20, when viewed from the stacking direction of the short circuit current dispersion 10 and the plurality of power generation elements 20, It is preferable that the outer edge of the short circuit current dispersion 10 be present inside the outer edges of the positive electrode material layer 22, the solid electrolyte layer 23 and the negative electrode material layer 24.
以上の通り、全固体電池100においては、釘刺しによる短絡電流分散体10及び一部の発電要素(例えば、発電要素20a)の短絡時に、他の発電要素(例えば発電要素20b)からの回り込み電流を短絡電流分散体10へと分散させることができる。ここで、全固体電池100においては、短絡電流分散体10の第1の集電体層11及び第2の集電体層12のうち、少なくとも、釘刺し試験において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層が、複数の金属箔によって構成されている。これにより、釘刺し試験時に短絡電流分散体10の短絡抵抗が安定させることができる。 As described above, in the all-solid-state battery 100, the short circuit current dispersion 10 due to the nailing and the sneak current from other power generation elements (for example, power generation element 20b) when the power generation elements (for example, power generation element 20a) Can be dispersed into the short circuit current dispersion 10. Here, in the all-solid-state battery 100, at least one of the first current collector layer 11 and the second current collector layer 12 of the short circuit current dispersion 10 is disposed on the side where the nail is to be punctured in the nail penetration test. The current collector layer to be formed is constituted by a plurality of metal foils. Thereby, the short circuit resistance of the short circuit current dispersion 10 can be stabilized at the time of the nail penetration test.
また、全固体電池100の短絡電流分散体10において、第1の集電体層11を複数の金属箔で構成することで、短絡電流分散体10の熱容量を増大させる効果も期待できる。すなわち、釘刺し時に短絡電流分散体10に大きな電流が流れ込んだとしても、短絡電流分散体10の発熱を抑えることができ、発電要素20に含まれる電池材料の劣化等を抑えることができるものと考えられる。 Further, in the short circuit current dispersion 10 of the all solid battery 100, by forming the first current collector layer 11 with a plurality of metal foils, an effect of increasing the heat capacity of the short circuit current dispersion 10 can also be expected. That is, even if a large current flows into the short circuit current dispersion 10 at the time of nailing, heat generation of the short circuit current dispersion 10 can be suppressed, and deterioration of the battery material included in the power generation element 20 can be suppressed. Conceivable.
2.全固体電池の製造方法
短絡電流分散体10は、第1の集電体層11(複数の金属箔)と第2の集電体層12(例えば、金属箔)との間に絶縁層13(例えば、熱硬化性樹脂シート)を配置することで、容易に作製できる。例えば、図2に示すように、第2の集電体層12の少なくとも片面に絶縁層13を配置し、さらに絶縁層13の第2の集電体層12とは反対側の面に第1の集電体層11を配置してもよい。ここで、短絡電流分散体10は、その形状を保持するために、接着剤や樹脂などを用いて各層を互いに貼り合わせてもよい。この場合、接着剤等は、各層の全面に塗布する必要はなく、各層の表面の一部に塗布すればよい。
2. Method of Manufacturing All-Solid-State Battery The short-circuit current dispersion 10 is formed of an insulating layer 13 (for example, a metal foil) between the first current collector layer 11 (a plurality of metal foils) and the second current collector layer 12 (for example, a metal foil). For example, it can be easily produced by arranging a thermosetting resin sheet. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the insulating layer 13 is disposed on at least one side of the second current collector layer 12, and the first side of the insulating layer 13 opposite to the second current collector layer 12 is The current collector layer 11 may be disposed. Here, in order to maintain the shape of the short circuit current dispersion 10, the layers may be bonded to each other using an adhesive, a resin, or the like. In this case, the adhesive or the like does not have to be applied to the entire surface of each layer, and may be applied to part of the surface of each layer.
発電要素20については、公知の方法により作製できる。例えば、正極集電体層21の表面に正極材を湿式にて塗工して乾燥させることで正極材層22を形成し、負極集電体層25の表面に負極材を湿式にて塗工して乾燥させることで負極材層24を形成し、正極材層21と負極材層24との間に固体電解質等を含む固体電解質層23を転写し、プレス成形して一体化することで発電要素20を作製できる。この時のプレス圧は特に限定されるものではないが、例えば2ton/cm2以上とすることが好ましい。尚、これらの作製手順はあくまでも一例であり、これ以外の手順によっても発電要素20を作製可能である。例えば、湿式法に替えて乾式法によって正極材層等を形成することも可能である。 The power generation element 20 can be manufactured by a known method. For example, the positive electrode material is wet coated on the surface of the positive electrode collector layer 21 and dried to form the positive electrode material layer 22, and the negative electrode material is wet coated on the surface of the negative electrode collector layer 25. By drying and drying, the negative electrode material layer 24 is formed, and the solid electrolyte layer 23 containing a solid electrolyte or the like is transferred between the positive electrode material layer 21 and the negative electrode material layer 24 and press-formed to be integrated. Element 20 can be made. The pressing pressure at this time is not particularly limited, but is preferably, for example, 2 ton / cm 2 or more. In addition, these preparation procedures are just an example to the last, and the power generation element 20 can be manufactured also by procedures other than this. For example, it is possible to form the positive electrode material layer or the like by a dry method instead of the wet method.
このようにして作製した短絡電流分散体10を複数の発電要素20に対して積層するとともに、第1の集電体層11に設けられたタブ11aを正極集電体層21と接続し、第2の集電体層12に設けられたタブ12aを負極集電体層25と接続し、正極集電体層21のタブ21a同士を接続し、負極集電体層25のタブ25a同士を接続することで、短絡電流分散体10と発電要素20とを電気的に接続するとともに、複数の発電要素20同士を電気的に並列に接続することができる。このようにして電気的に接続された積層体をラミネートフィルムやステンレス鋼缶等の電池ケース内に真空封入することによって全固体電池を作製できる。尚、これらの作製手順はあくまでも一例であり、これ以外の手順によっても全固体電池を作製可能である。 While laminating the short circuit current dispersion 10 thus produced on a plurality of power generation elements 20, the tab 11a provided on the first current collector layer 11 is connected to the positive electrode current collector layer 21, The tab 12a provided in the second current collector layer 12 is connected to the negative electrode current collector layer 25, the tabs 21a of the positive electrode current collector layer 21 are connected, and the tabs 25a of the negative electrode current collector layer 25 are connected. Thus, the short-circuit current dispersion body 10 and the power generation element 20 can be electrically connected, and the plurality of power generation elements 20 can be electrically connected in parallel. An all-solid battery can be manufactured by vacuum-sealing the laminate thus electrically connected in a battery case such as a laminate film or a stainless steel can. Note that these preparation procedures are merely an example, and all-solid-state batteries can be prepared by other procedures.
以上の通り、従来の全固体電池の製造方法を応用することで、本開示の全固体電池100を容易に製造することができる。 As mentioned above, the application of the manufacturing method of the conventional all-solid-state battery can manufacture easily the all-solid-state battery 100 of this indication.
3.補足事項
上記説明においては、短絡電流分散体10において、発電要素20の正極集電体層21に電気的に接続される第1の集電体層11が、複数の金属箔を備える形態について説明したが、本開示の全固体電池はこの形態に限定されるものではない。負極集電体層25に電気的に接続される第2の集電体層12が、釘刺し試験時において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される形態も有り得る。この場合、少なくとも、第2の集電体層12において複数の金属箔が第1の集電体層11と絶縁層13と第2の集電体層12との積層方向に沿って積層されていればよい。第2の集電体層12を複数の金属箔の積層体とする場合の具体的な構成については、上記の第1の集電体層11における場合と同様であることから、ここでは詳細な説明を省略する。
3. Additional Matters In the above description, in the short-circuit current dispersion 10, the first current collector layer 11 electrically connected to the positive electrode current collector layer 21 of the power generation element 20 includes a plurality of metal foils. However, the all solid state battery of the present disclosure is not limited to this form. It is also possible that the second current collector layer 12 electrically connected to the negative electrode current collector layer 25 is disposed on the side where the nail is to be pierced during the nail penetration test. In this case, a plurality of metal foils are laminated at least in the second current collector layer 12 along the stacking direction of the first current collector layer 11, the insulating layer 13 and the second current collector layer 12. Just do it. The specific configuration of the case where the second current collector layer 12 is a laminate of a plurality of metal foils is the same as that of the first current collector layer 11 described above, and therefore, the detailed description here will be made here. I omit explanation.
上記説明においては、1つの第1の集電体層と1つの絶縁層と1つの第2の集電体層とによって短絡電流分散体が構成される形態について示したが、本開示の全固体電池はこの形態に限定されるものではない。短絡電流分散体は、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との間に絶縁層を有するものであればよく、各層の数は特に限定されない。集電体層を複数設けた場合も、上述したように、少なくとも、釘刺し試験時において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層については複数の金属箔で構成するものとする。 In the above description, although the form in which the short circuit current dispersion is configured by one first current collector layer, one insulating layer and one second current collector layer is described, the all solid of the present disclosure can be obtained. The battery is not limited to this form. The short-circuit current dispersion may be any one having an insulating layer between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer, and the number of each layer is not particularly limited. Also in the case where a plurality of current collector layers are provided, as described above, at least the current collector layer disposed on the side where the nail is to be pierced in the nail penetration test is constituted of a plurality of metal foils.
上記説明においては、全固体電池において短絡電流分散体が複数の発電要素の積層方向の外側に1つだけ備えられる形態について示したが、短絡電流分散体の数はこれに限定されるものではない。全固体電池において外側に複数の短絡電流分散体が備えられていてもよい。また、複数の発電要素の外側に限らず、短絡電流分散体が複数の発電要素の間に設けられていてもよい。 In the above description, only one short circuit current dispersion is provided outside the stacking direction of the plurality of power generation elements in the all solid battery, but the number of the short circuit current dispersions is not limited to this. . A plurality of short circuit current dispersions may be provided on the outside of the all solid state battery. In addition, the short circuit current dispersion may be provided between the plurality of power generation elements as well as the outside of the plurality of power generation elements.
上記説明においては、2つの発電要素が、1つの負極集電体層を共用する形態について示したが、本開示の全固体電池はこの形態に限定されるものではない。発電要素は単電池として機能するものであればよく、正極集電体層と正極材層と固体電解質層と負極材層と負極集電体層とが積層されていればよい。例えば、2つの発電要素が1つの正極集電体層を共用する形態であってもよいし、複数の発電要素が集電体層を共用せずに各々独立して存在する形態であってもよい。 In the above description, the two power generation elements are shown to share one negative electrode current collector layer, but the all solid state battery of the present disclosure is not limited to this form. The power generation element only needs to function as a unit cell, and the positive electrode current collector layer, the positive electrode material layer, the solid electrolyte layer, the negative electrode material layer, and the negative electrode current collector layer may be stacked. For example, two power generation elements may share one positive current collector layer, or multiple power generation elements may independently exist without sharing current collector layers. Good.
上記説明においては、複数の発電要素が積層された形態について示したが、全固体電池において発電要素が複数積層されていない形態(一つの単電池のみからなる形態)においても、ある程度の効果が奏されるものと考えられる。しかしながら、釘刺し時等の短絡によるジュール発熱は、一つの発電要素からなる形態よりも、複数の発電要素が積層された形態において大きくなりやすい。すなわち、複数の発電要素が積層された形態において、短絡電流分散体を設けることによる効果がより顕著となるものといえる。 In the above description, although a form in which a plurality of power generation elements are stacked is shown, a certain degree of effect is achieved even in a form in which a plurality of power generation elements are not stacked in an all solid battery (a form consisting of only one unit cell). It is considered to be However, Joule heat due to a short circuit at the time of nailing or the like tends to be larger in a form in which a plurality of power generation elements are stacked than a form in which one power generation element is formed. That is, in the form in which a plurality of power generation elements are stacked, it can be said that the effect by providing the short circuit current dispersion becomes more remarkable.
上記説明においては、短絡電流分散体や発電要素から集電タブが突出するものとして説明した。しかしながら、本開示の全固体電池において集電タブはなくてもよい。例えば、面積の大きな集電体層を用い、短絡電流分散体と発電要素との積層体において、複数の集電体層の外縁を突出させるものとし、当該突出させた集電層の間に導電材を挟みこむことで、タブを設けずとも、集電体層同士の電気的な接続が可能である。或いは、タブではなく、導線等によって集電体層同士を電気的に接続してもよい。 In the above description, it has been described that the current collection tab protrudes from the short circuit current dispersion body or the power generation element. However, the current collection tab may not be present in the all solid state battery of the present disclosure. For example, in the laminate of the short-circuit current dispersion and the power generation element, the outer edges of the plurality of current collector layers are made to project by using the current collector layer having a large area, and conduction is performed between the projected current collector layers. By sandwiching the material, it is possible to electrically connect the current collector layers without providing a tab. Alternatively, the current collector layers may be electrically connected to each other by conducting wires or the like instead of the tabs.
上記説明においては、電解液系電池を除いた全固体電池について示した。本開示の技術は、電解液系電池においても適用可能とも考えられるが、全固体電池に適用した場合において顕著な効果を発揮するものと考えられる。全固体電池は電解液系電池に比べて発電要素内の隙間が少なく、釘刺し時に釘が発電要素を貫通する際、発電要素にかかる圧力が高い。よって、発電要素の短絡抵抗が小さくなり、一部の発電要素へと多くの回り込み電流が流れ込むこととなると考えられる。さらに、全固体電池においては、発電要素内の内部抵抗を低減すべく、発電要素に対して拘束圧力を付与する場合がある。この場合、発電要素の積層方向(正極集電体層が負極集電体層に向かう方向)に拘束圧力が付与されることとなり、釘刺し時、釘による圧力と拘束圧力とが加算されて発電要素に印加されることから、正極集電体層と負極集電体層とが接触して短絡し易く、また、発電要素の短絡抵抗が小さくなり易いものと考えられる。そのため、短絡電流分散体を設けて回りこみ電流を分散させることによる効果が顕著となるものと考えられる。さらに、全固体電池においては、釘刺し時に釘が短絡電流分散体を貫通する際、短絡電流分散体にかかる圧力も高くなる。すなわち、釘刺し時に高い圧力がかかった状態において第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層とを如何に適切に接触させて、短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗を小さくするかが課題となる。上記本開示の技術は当該課題を解決するものである。一方、電解液系電池は、通常、電池ケース内が電解液で満たされ、各層が電解液に浸漬されて、各層の隙間に電解液が供給されるものであり、釘刺し時に釘によって印加される圧力が、全固体電池の場合と比較して小さくなる。そのため、全固体電池とは課題の発生メカニズムが異なるうえ、短絡電流分散体を設ける効果が全固体電池の場合と比べて相対的に小さくなるものと考えられる。 In the above description, the all solid battery except the electrolyte battery was described. The technology of the present disclosure is considered to be applicable also to an electrolyte solution battery, but is considered to exert a remarkable effect when applied to an all solid battery. The all-solid-state battery has a smaller gap in the power generation element compared to the electrolyte battery, and the pressure applied to the power generation element is high when the nail penetrates the power generation element when nailing. Therefore, it is considered that the short circuit resistance of the power generation element is reduced, and a large amount of sneak current flows into some of the power generation elements. Furthermore, in the all-solid-state battery, in order to reduce internal resistance in the power generation element, a restraint pressure may be applied to the power generation element. In this case, the restraint pressure is applied in the stacking direction of the power generation element (the direction in which the positive electrode current collector layer is directed to the negative electrode current collector layer), and when nailing, the pressure by the nail and the restraint pressure are added to generate power. It is considered that since the positive electrode current collector layer and the negative electrode current collector layer are in contact with each other to cause a short circuit easily because the voltage is applied to the element, the short circuit resistance of the power generation element tends to be small. Therefore, it is considered that the effect of providing the short circuit current dispersion to disperse the wraparound current becomes remarkable. Furthermore, in the all-solid-state battery, when the nail penetrates the short circuit current dispersion at the time of nailing, the pressure applied to the short circuit current dispersion also increases. That is, how to properly contact the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer in a state where a high pressure is applied at the time of nailing to reduce the short circuit resistance of the short circuit current dispersion is a problem. It becomes. The technique of the present disclosure solves the problem. On the other hand, in the case of an electrolyte battery, the inside of the battery case is usually filled with the electrolyte, and each layer is immersed in the electrolyte so that the electrolyte is supplied to the gap between the layers. The pressure is reduced compared to the case of the all solid state battery. Therefore, the generation mechanism of the problem is different from that of the all solid battery, and the effect of providing the short circuit current dispersion is considered to be relatively smaller than that of the all solid battery.
尚、バイポーラ電極を介して発電要素同士を電気的に直列に接続した場合は、一部の発電要素に釘を刺すと、他の発電要素から当該一部の発電要素へと釘を介して回り込み電流が流れるものと考えられる。すなわち、接触抵抗の高い釘を介して回り込むこととなり、その電流量は小さい。また、バイポーラ電極を介して発電要素同士を電気的に直列に接続した場合、発電要素のすべてに釘が刺さった場合に回り込み電流が最も大きくなると考えられるが、このような場合、発電要素の放電が既に十分に進行しているものとも考えられ、一部の発電要素の温度が局所的に上昇するといったことは生じ難い。この点、発電要素を電気的に並列に接続した場合と比較して、短絡電流分散体による効果が小さくなるものと考えられる。よって、本開示の技術は、発電要素同士を電気的に並列に接続した電池において特に顕著な効果を発揮するものといえる。 In addition, when the power generation elements are electrically connected in series via the bipolar electrode, when a nail is pierced to a part of the power generation elements, it wraps around from the other power generation element to the power generation element. It is considered that current flows. That is, it will turn around via a nail with high contact resistance, and the amount of current is small. In addition, when the power generation elements are electrically connected in series via the bipolar electrode, it is considered that the sneaking current is largest when all the power generation elements are pierced, but in such a case, the discharge of the power generation elements However, it is unlikely that the temperature of some of the power generating elements will rise locally. In this respect, it is considered that the effect of the short circuit current dispersion is reduced as compared with the case where the power generation elements are electrically connected in parallel. Therefore, it can be said that the technology of the present disclosure exerts a particularly remarkable effect in a battery in which power generation elements are electrically connected in parallel.

1. Preliminary Experiment With reference to the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4, in the case where the current collector layer of the short circuit current dispersion is formed using one metal foil, the stability of the short circuit resistance during the nail penetration test is confirmed.
1.1.短絡電流分散体の作製
第1の集電体層として厚み15μmのアルミニウム箔(UACJ社製、1N30)を1枚用い、第2の集電体層として厚み35μmの銅箔(古河電工社製)を1枚用い、当該第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との間に絶縁層として熱硬化性ポリイミド樹脂フィルム(厚み25μm、東レデュポン社製カプトン)を2枚挟み込んで、接着材で固定し、比較例1に係る短絡電流分散体を得た。尚、後述の評価の便宜上、得られた短絡電流分散体の表裏を絶縁層で挟み込むものとした。
1.1. Preparation of Short-Circuit Current Dispersion A single 15 μm thick aluminum foil (1N30 manufactured by UACJ) as the first current collector layer, and a 35 μm thick copper foil (manufactured by Furukawa Electric Co.) as the second current collector layer Using two sheets of a thermosetting polyimide resin film (25 μm thick, Kapton manufactured by Toray-DuPont Co., Ltd.) as an insulating layer between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer, It fixed by the adhesive material and obtained the short circuit current dispersion which concerns on the comparative example 1. FIG. In addition, for convenience of the below-mentioned evaluation, the front and back of the obtained short circuit current dispersion shall be pinched | interposed by the insulating layer.
1.2.短絡抵抗の安定性評価
比較例1に係る短絡電流分散体について、図4に示すような釘刺し試験装置を用いて、釘刺し時における短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗の安定性を評価した。具体的には、短絡電流分散体をアルミ板上に設置し、短絡電流分散体のタブに直流電源を接続する一方、短絡電流分散体の両面を拘束治具によって拘束した。拘束後、直流電源の設定値を電圧(4.3V)電流(80A)と設定し、釘が刺し込まれる側(釘刺し方向上流側)を第1の集電体層、釘が刺し出される側(釘刺し方向下流側)を第2の集電体層として、釘(φ8mm、先端角度60度)を25mm/secの速度で刺し込み、釘刺し開始から終了までにおける短絡電流分散体へ流れる電流の変化を確認した。結果を図5に示す。
1.2. Evaluation of stability of short circuit resistance With respect to the short circuit current dispersion according to Comparative Example 1, the stability of the short circuit resistance of the short circuit current dispersion at the time of nailing was evaluated using a nail sticking test apparatus as shown in FIG. Specifically, the short circuit current dispersion was placed on an aluminum plate, and a DC power supply was connected to the tab of the short circuit current dispersion, while both surfaces of the short circuit current dispersion were restrained by a restraint jig. After restraint, set the set value of DC power supply as voltage (4.3 V) current (80 A), the side where nail is pierced (the nail piercing direction upstream side) is the first current collector layer, nail is pierced As the second current collector layer, the nail (φ 8 mm, tip angle 60 degrees) is pierced at a speed of 25 mm / sec and the current flows from the start to the end of the short circuit current dispersion The change in current was confirmed. The results are shown in FIG.
図5に示す結果から明らかなように、従来技術を参考にして短絡電流分散体を構成した場合、釘刺し時、短絡電流分散体に流れる電流が安定しない。短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触が安定的に保持されず、これにより短絡抵抗が不安定となったものと考えられる。短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触が安定的に保持されないのは、ジュール発熱によって集電体層が溶断したり、釘の進行に伴う集電体層の経時的な変形によって集電体層間の接続が解除されたりすること等に起因するものと考えられる。以上の結果から、短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触を安定的に保持するためには、釘刺し時に第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層とが接触する確率を上げること、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触面積を増大させることが有効と考えられる。 As is apparent from the results shown in FIG. 5, when the short circuit current dispersion is configured with reference to the prior art, the current flowing to the short circuit current dispersion is not stable when nailing. It is considered that the contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer is not stably maintained at the time of nailing to the short circuit current dispersion, whereby the short circuit resistance becomes unstable. . The contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer is not stably maintained when the short circuit current dispersion is nailed, the current collector layer may be melted away due to Joule heat, or the nail may be broken. It is considered that the connection between the current collector layers is released or the like due to the temporal deformation of the current collector layer with the progress of From the above results, in order to stably maintain the contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer when the short circuit current dispersion is nailed, the first current collection at the time of nailing can be performed. It is considered effective to increase the probability of contact between the current collector layer and the second current collector layer, and to increase the contact area between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer.
2.短絡電流分散体の改良及び効果の確認
釘刺し時に第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層とが接触する確率を上げ、且つ、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触面積を増大させることを狙って、短絡電流分散体の集電体層の構成を改良した。具体的には、釘刺し試験時に釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層の構成を変更した。
2. Improvement of short circuit current dispersion and confirmation of effect Increase probability of contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer at the time of nailing, and the first current collector layer and the second current collector In order to increase the contact area with the current collector layer, the configuration of the current collector layer of the short circuit current dispersion was improved. Specifically, the configuration of the current collector layer disposed on the side where the nail was to be pierced during the nail penetration test was changed.

2.1. Preparation of Short-Circuit Current Dispersion <Example 1>
A short-circuit current dispersion was obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that as the first current collector layer, a stack of seven aluminum foils (1N30 manufactured by UACJ, 15 μm thick) was used. The configuration of the short circuit current dispersion according to the first embodiment is shown in FIG.
<比較例2>
第1の集電体層として厚み100μmのアルミニウム箔(1N30)を1枚用いたこと以外は、比較例1と同様にして短絡電流分散体を得た。比較例2に係る短絡電流分散体の構成を図7に示す。
Comparative Example 2
A short circuit current dispersion was obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that one aluminum foil (1N30) with a thickness of 100 μm was used as the first current collector layer. The configuration of the short circuit current dispersion according to Comparative Example 2 is shown in FIG.
2.2.短絡抵抗の安定性評価
実施例1及び比較例2に係る短絡電流分散体それぞれについて、図4に示すような釘刺し試験装置を用いて、釘刺し時における短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗の安定性を評価した。具体的には、短絡電流分散体をアルミ板上に設置し、短絡電流分散体のタブに直流電源を接続する一方、短絡電流分散体の両面を拘束治具によって拘束した。拘束圧は比較例1と同様とした。拘束後、直流電源の設定値を電圧(4.3V)、電流(245A)と設定し、釘が刺し込まれる側(上流側)を第1の集電体層、釘が刺し出される側(下流側)を第2の集電体層として、釘(φ8mm、先端角度60度)を25mm/secの速度で刺し込み、釘刺し開始から終了までにおける短絡電流分散体に流れる電流の変化を確認した。結果を図8に示す。
2.2. Evaluation of stability of short-circuit resistance For each of the short-circuit current dispersions according to Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, stability of the short-circuit resistance of the short-circuit current dispersion at the time of nail penetration using a nail penetration testing device as shown in FIG. Was evaluated. Specifically, the short circuit current dispersion was placed on an aluminum plate, and a DC power supply was connected to the tab of the short circuit current dispersion, while both surfaces of the short circuit current dispersion were restrained by a restraint jig. The restraint pressure was the same as in Comparative Example 1. After restraint, set the setting value of DC power supply as voltage (4.3 V), current (245 A), and the side where the nail is pierced (upstream side) is the first current collector layer, the side from which the nail is pierced ( Using the second current collector layer as the second current collector layer, pierce the nail (φ 8 mm, tip angle 60 degrees) at a speed of 25 mm / sec, and check the change in current flowing in the short circuit current dispersion from the nail stabbing start to the end did. The results are shown in FIG.
図8に示す結果から明らかなように、比較例2に係る短絡電流分散体については、釘刺し直後は約180Aの電流が流れるものの、約0.5秒後には電流がほとんど流れなくなった。比較例1の結果から、第1の集電体層の厚みを厚くしたとしても、釘刺し時に第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層とが接触する確率を上げることは困難であり、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触性を向上させることは困難であることが分かった。
一方、実施例1に係る短絡電流分散体については、釘刺し直後から安定的に約180Aの電流が流れた。実施例1の結果から、釘刺し試験において釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層を複数の金属箔で構成することで、釘刺し時に集電体層同士が接触する確率を上げることができ、集電体層間同士の接触面積を増大させることができ、釘刺し時の短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗(特に集電体層同士の接触抵抗)を小さく維持できることが分かった。
As apparent from the results shown in FIG. 8, in the short-circuit current dispersion according to Comparative Example 2, a current of about 180 A flows immediately after the nail penetration, but almost no current flows after about 0.5 seconds. From the results of Comparative Example 1, even if the thickness of the first current collector layer is increased, it is difficult to increase the probability of contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer at the time of nailing. It has been found that it is difficult to improve the contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer.
On the other hand, in the short-circuit current dispersion according to Example 1, a current of about 180 A stably flowed immediately after the nail penetration. From the results of Example 1, by forming the current collector layer disposed on the side where the nail is pierced in the nail penetration test with a plurality of metal foils, the probability of contact between the current collector layers at the time of nail penetration is increased. It has been found that the contact area between the current collector layers can be increased, and the short circuit resistance (in particular, the contact resistance between the current collector layers) of the short circuit current dispersion at the time of nailing can be kept small.
また、実施例1に係る短絡電流分散体は、比較例1に係る短絡電流分散体と比較して集電体層が厚く、大きな熱容量を有する。すなわち、回り込み電流が流れ込んだとしても、短絡電流分散体が発熱し難いという利点がある。 Further, in the short-circuit current dispersion according to the first embodiment, the current collector layer is thicker than the short-circuit current dispersion according to the first comparative example, and has a large heat capacity. That is, there is an advantage that the short circuit current dispersion hardly generates heat even if the sneaking current flows in.
以上のように、全固体電池において発電要素とともに短絡電流分散体を設ける場合、当該短絡電流分散体において釘刺し試験時に釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層を複数の金属箔で構成することで、釘刺し試験時、短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗を小さく維持でき、発電要素から短絡電流分散体へと回り込み電流を適切に分散させることができることが明らかとなった。 As described above, when the short-circuit current dispersion is provided together with the power generation element in the all-solid-state battery, a plurality of metal foils are used as the current collector layer disposed on the nail penetration side in the nailing test in the short-circuit current dispersion. It has become clear that the configuration makes it possible to keep the short circuit resistance of the short circuit current dispersion small during the nail penetration test and appropriately disperse the sneak current from the power generation element to the short circuit current dispersion.
3.短絡電流分散体における金属箔の厚みや枚数の検討
3.1.短絡電流分散体の作製
<実施例2〜6、参考例1〜3>
第1の集電体層として下記表1に示される厚みを有するアルミニウム箔(福田箔粉工業社製、1N30)を下記表1に示される枚数重ねたものを用いたこと以外は、比較例1と同様にして短絡電流分散体を得た。
3. Examination of thickness and number of metal foils in short circuit current dispersion 3.1. Preparation of Short-Circuit Current Dispersion <Examples 2 to 6, Reference Examples 1 to 3>
Comparative Example 1 except that aluminum foil having a thickness shown in Table 1 below (1N30, manufactured by Fukuda Foil & Powder Industries, Inc.) was used as the first current collector layer and the number shown in Table 1 below was used. A short circuit current dispersion was obtained in the same manner as in.
3.2.短絡抵抗の安定性評価
実施例1〜6、比較例2、参考例1〜3に係る短絡電流分散体それぞれについて、図4に示すような釘刺し試験装置を用いて、上述した方法にて、釘刺し時における短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗の安定性を評価した。また、釘刺し時に短絡電流分散体に流れる電流の平均値(平均電流)を求めた。平均電流が大きいほど好ましいといえる。結果を下記表2に示す。
3.2. Evaluation of stability of short circuit resistance For each of the short circuit current dispersions according to Examples 1 to 6, Comparative Example 2 and Reference Examples 1 to 3, using the nail penetration test apparatus as shown in FIG. The stability of the short circuit resistance of the short circuit current dispersion at the time of nailing was evaluated. In addition, the average value (average current) of the current flowing in the short circuit current dispersion at the time of nailing was determined. The larger the average current, the better. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
表2に示す結果から明らかなように、比較例2に比べて、実施例1〜6及び参考例1〜3のいずれも、釘刺し時に短絡電流分散体に流れる電流の平均値が大きくなった。すなわち、短絡電流分散体において、釘刺し時に釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層として複数の金属箔の積層体を採用することで、短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触性が向上して短絡抵抗が低下することが分かる。中でも、複数の金属箔の1枚当たりの厚さが9μm以上15μm以下の場合(実施例1〜6、参考例2、3)に第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触性を一層向上させ易いといえる。特に、複数の金属箔の1枚当たりの厚さが9μm以上15μm以下で、且つ、複数の金属箔の枚数が4枚以上7枚以下である場合(実施例1〜6)に、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触性を一層向上させつつ、短絡抵抗を一層安定して低下させることができる。 As is clear from the results shown in Table 2, in all of Examples 1 to 6 and Reference Examples 1 to 3, the average value of the current flowing through the short circuit current dispersion at the time of nail penetration was larger than that of Comparative Example 2. . That is, in the short-circuit current dispersion, by employing a laminate of a plurality of metal foils as a current collector layer disposed on the side where the nail is pierced at the time of nailing, the nailing to the short-circuit current dispersion is It can be seen that the contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer is improved to reduce the short circuit resistance. Among them, when the thickness per sheet of the plurality of metal foils is 9 μm to 15 μm (Examples 1 to 6, Reference Examples 2 and 3), the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer It can be said that it is easy to further improve the contact property of In particular, when the thickness per sheet of the plurality of metal foils is 9 μm or more and 15 μm or less and the number of the plurality of metal foils is 4 or more and 7 or less (Examples 1 to 6), the first The short circuit resistance can be more stably lowered while the contact between the current collector layer and the second current collector layer is further improved.
尚、上記実施例では、釘刺し試験時に釘が刺し込まれる側の集電体層において複数のアルミニウム箔を採用した形態について説明したが、金属箔の種類はアルミニウム箔に限定されるものではない。本発明者は、アルミニウム箔以外の金属箔の場合にも同様の効果が認められることを確認している。 In the above embodiment, although a mode in which a plurality of aluminum foils are adopted in the current collector layer on the side where nails are pierced at the time of nail penetration test has been described, the type of metal foil is not limited to aluminum foil . The present inventor has confirmed that the same effect is observed in the case of metal foils other than aluminum foil.
4.1.金属箔の種類を変更した場合
例えば、アルミニウム箔に替えて、銅箔を用いた場合にも同様の効果が認められる。以下、実施例を示す。
4.1. When the type of metal foil is changed For example, the same effect can be recognized when copper foil is used instead of aluminum foil. Examples are shown below.
4.2.短絡電流分散体の作製

第1の集電体層として下記表3に示される厚みを有する銅箔(古河電工製)を下記表1に示される枚数重ねたものを用いたこと以外は、比較例1と同様にして短絡電流分散体を得た。
4.2. Preparation of Short-Circuit Current Dispersions <Examples 7 to 10, Comparative Example 3>
A short circuit was carried out in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that the number of copper foils (manufactured by Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.) having the thicknesses shown in Table 3 below was used as the first current collector layer. A current dispersion was obtained.
4.3.短絡抵抗の安定性評価
実施例7〜10、比較例3に係る短絡電流分散体それぞれについて、図4に示すような釘刺し試験装置を用いて、上述した方法にて、釘刺し時における短絡電流分散体の短絡抵抗の安定性を評価した。また、釘刺し時に短絡電流分散体に流れる電流の平均値(平均電流)を求めた。平均電流が大きいほど好ましいといえる。結果を下記表4に示す。
4.3. Evaluation of stability of short circuit resistance For each of the short circuit current dispersions according to Examples 7 to 10 and Comparative Example 3, the short circuit current at the time of the nail penetration using the nail penetration testing apparatus as shown in FIG. The stability of the short circuit resistance of the dispersion was evaluated. In addition, the average value (average current) of the current flowing in the short circuit current dispersion at the time of nailing was determined. The larger the average current, the better. The results are shown in Table 4 below.
表4に示す結果から明らかなように、比較例3よりも実施例7のほうが集電体層全体としての厚みが薄いにも関わらず、比較例3よりも実施例7のほうが釘刺し時に短絡電流分散体に流れる電流の平均値が大きくなった。すなわち、短絡電流分散体において、釘刺し時に釘が刺し込まれる側に配置される集電体層として複数の金属箔の積層体を採用することで、短絡電流分散体への釘刺し時、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触性が向上して短絡抵抗が低下することが分かる。また、実施例8〜10のように銅箔の枚数が4〜7枚である場合、電流の平均値がさらに大きくなった。すなわち、複数の金属箔の1枚当たりの厚さが9μm以上15μm以下で、且つ、複数の金属箔の枚数が4枚以上7枚以下である場合(実施例8〜10)において、第1の集電体層と第2の集電体層との接触性を一層向上させつつ、短絡抵抗を一層安定して低下させることができる。 As is clear from the results shown in Table 4, although the thickness of the current collector layer as a whole is smaller in Example 7 than in Comparative Example 3, the short circuiting in Example 7 is more likely to occur than in Comparative Example 3. The average value of the current flowing through the current dispersion increased. That is, in the short-circuit current dispersion, by employing a laminate of a plurality of metal foils as a current collector layer disposed on the side where the nail is pierced at the time of nailing, the nailing to the short-circuit current dispersion is It can be seen that the contact between the first current collector layer and the second current collector layer is improved to reduce the short circuit resistance. When the number of copper foils was 4 to 7 as in Examples 8 to 10, the average value of the current further increased. That is, when the thickness per sheet of the plurality of metal foils is 9 μm or more and 15 μm or less and the number of the plurality of metal foils is 4 or more and 7 or less (Examples 8 to 10), the first The short circuit resistance can be more stably lowered while the contact between the current collector layer and the second current collector layer is further improved.
