Patent number: 9457512Abstract: Conventional ion rechargeable batteries having an electrode layer on an electrolyte layer suffer from an impurity layer formed at the interface, degrading performance. Conventional batteries with no such impurity layer have a problem of weak interface bonding. In the present invention, in a baking process step after an electrode layer is laminated on an electrolyte layer, materials for an electrode layer and an electrolyte layer are selected such that an intermediate layer formed of a reaction product contributing to charging and discharging reactions is formed at the interface of the electrode layer and the electrolyte layer. In addition, a paste that an active material is mixed with a conductive material at a predetermined mixing ratio is used to form a positive electrode layer and a negative electrode layer. Reductions in electrode resistance and interface resistance and improvement of charging and discharging cycle characteristics are made possible.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: NAMICS CORPORATIONInventors: Mamoru Baba, Shoichi Iwaya, Hitoshi Masumura, Noriyuki Sakai, Takayuki Fujita, Hiroshi Sasagawa, Hiroshi Sato

Publication number: 20140220393Abstract: A battery using an active material that can function as a secondary battery has been developed by using the same material as active material of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a nonpolar secondary battery has been constructed. Because the terminal electrodes are not distinguished, there is no need to be aware of the mounting direction, so that the mounting process can be simplified. Also, because the positive layer and the negative layer do not need to be separately constructed, the battery manufacturing process can be simplified. Further, by connecting the nonpolar secondary batteries in series and modifying the connection of the lead-out electrodes extending from the points of connection, a battery with a different output voltage or a different battery capacity can be configured.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2012Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: NAMICS CORPORATIONInventors: Mamoru Baba, Takayuki Fujita
