  • Publication number: 20200203728
    Abstract: A positive electrode active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes particles of a lithium-transition metal composite oxide that contains nickel in the composition thereof and has a layered structure. The particles have an average particle size DSEM based on electron microscopic observation in a range of 1 ?m to 7 ?m in which a ratio D50/DSEM of a 50% particle size D50 in volume-based cumulative particle size distribution to the average particle size based on electron microscopic observation is in a range of 1 to 4, and a ratio D90/D10 of a 90% particle size D90 to a 10% particle size D10 in volume-based cumulative particle size distribution is 4 or less.

  • Publication number: 20200152992
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an electrode for solid state battery, a solid state battery, and a manufacturing method of the electrode for solid state battery. The electrode for solid state battery uses a foamed porous body as the collector. When the electrode constitutes the solid state battery, the obtained battery has low resistance, high battery capacity per unit area, and high output. A collector composed of a foamed porous body is filled with an electrode mixture by differential pressure filling to obtain an electrode, in which the content rate of an organic polymer compound is low.
