最初に、正極活物質、正極結着剤および正極導電剤が互いに混合された混合物(正極合剤)を溶媒に投入することにより、ペースト状の正極合剤スラリーを調製する。この溶媒は、水性溶媒でもよいし、有機溶剤でもよい。続いて、正極端子31が一体化されている正極集電体21Aの両面(正極端子31を除く。)に正極合剤スラリーを塗布することにより、正極活物質層21Bを形成する。最後に、ロールプレス機などを用いて正極活物質層21Bを圧縮成形する。この場合には、正極活物質層21Bを加熱してもよいし、圧縮成形を複数回繰り返してもよい。これにより、正極集電体21Aの両面に正極活物質層21Bが形成されるため、正極21が作製される。
上記した負極100の作製手順と同様の手順により、負極22を形成する。具体的には、最初に、負極活物質、炭酸アルカリ金属化合物、マグネシウム化合物および負極結着剤が互いに混合された混合物(負極合剤)を溶媒に投入することにより、ペースト状の負極合剤スラリーを調製する。続いて、負極端子32が一体化されている負極集電体22Aの両面(負極端子32を除く。)に負極合剤スラリーを塗布することにより、負極活物質層22Bを形成する。最後に、負極活物質層22Bを圧縮成形する。これにより、負極集電体22Aの両面に負極活物質層22Bが形成されるため、負極22が作製される。
溶媒に電解質塩を投入する。これにより、溶媒中において電解質塩が分散または溶解されるため、電解液が調製される。
最初に、セパレータ23を介して正極21および負極22を交互に積層させることにより、図6に示したように、積層体20Zを作製する。この積層体20Zは、正極21、負極22およびセパレータ23のそれぞれに電解液が含浸されていないことを除いて、電池素子20の構成と同様の構成を有している。
組み立て後の二次電池を充放電させる。環境温度、充放電回数(サイクル数)および充放電条件などの各種条件は、任意に設定可能である。これにより、正極21および負極22のそれぞれの表面に被膜が形成されるため、二次電池の状態が電気化学的に安定化する。よって、二次電池が完成する。
この二次電池によれば、負極22が負極100の構成と同様の構成を有しているので、上記した理由により、優れた電池特性を得ることができる。
上記した負極100および二次電池のそれぞれの構成は、以下で説明するように、適宜、変更可能である。ただし、以下で説明する一連の変形例のうちの任意の2種類以上は、互いに組み合わされてもよい。
図4では、正極集電体21Aの突出部分が正極端子31を兼ねているため、その正極端子31が正極集電体21Aと物理的に一体化されている。しかしながら、正極端子31は、正極集電体21Aから物理的に分離されているため、その正極集電体21Aとは別体化されていてもよい。この場合には、溶接法などの接合法を用いて、正極端子31が正極集電体21Aに接続されていてもよい。
図2では、積層電極体である電池素子20を用いている。しかしながら、ここでは具体的に図示しないが、巻回電極体である電池素子を用いてもよい。この場合には、正極21が帯状の構造を有しており、正極集電体21Aに正極端子31が電気的に接続されていると共に、負極22が帯状の構造を有しており、負極集電体22Aに負極端子32が電気的に接続されている。これにより、正極21および負極22は、セパレータ23を介して互いに対向しながら巻回されている。なお、正極端子31の数は、1つだけでもよいし、2つ以上でもよい。負極端子32の数も同様に、1つだけでもよいし、2つ以上でもよい。
多孔質膜であるセパレータ23を用いた。しかしながら、ここでは具体的に図示しないが、高分子化合物層を含む積層型のセパレータを用いてもよい。
液状の電解質である電解液を用いた。しかしながら、ここでは具体的に図示しないが、ゲル状の電解質である電解質層を用いてもよい。
二次電池の用途(適用例)は、特に限定されない。電源として用いられる二次電池は、電子機器および電動車両などにおいて、主電源でもよいし、補助電源でもよい。主電源とは、他の電源の有無に関係なく、優先的に用いられる電源である。補助電源は、主電源の代わりに用いられる電源でもよいし、主電源から切り替えられる電源でもよい。
