Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a lithium secondary battery in which peeling of an active substance can be prevented and the generation of metal powder can be prevented when a power collection foil is processed at an electrode production step. The method for producing the lithium secondary battery includes an electrode-producing step of producing a positive electrode and a negative electrode; a step of forming a group of electrodes by layering the positive electrode and the negative electrode on each other through a separator, or winding the positive electrode and the negative electrode through a separator; and a step of immersing the group of the electrodes in an electrolyte.
Abstract: A separator of the present invention for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery is obtained by fluorinating a polyolefin based resin. A contact angle of the separator with a nonaqueous solvent electrolyte is 40° or less a shutdown temperature of the separator is 170° C. or less. Further, a multilayered separator of the present invention for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a plurality of layers, at least one of which is the foregoing separator for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. These separators for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery have both a favorable electrolyte-retaining characteristic and a suitable shutdown performance.
Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a cathode active material capable of reducing degradation in an operation voltage and capacity as compared conventionally when used for a lithium ion secondary battery, and a method for manufacturing the same. The cathode active material contains a composite oxide of lithium and a transition metal (s), wherein a reduction loss of TLC in the composite oxide is 20 to 60%. Also, the composite oxide has a particle diameter of 0.5 to 100 ?m, and is preferably fluorinated. The method for manufacturing the cathode active material includes the step of fluorinating the cathode active material. The composite oxide has a particle diameter of 0.5 to 100 ?m. The fluorinating step is to fluorinate the composite oxide in a reaction vessel under conditions where fluorine gas partial pressure is 1 to 200 kPa, a reaction time is 10 minutes to 10 days, and a reaction temperature is ?10 to 200° C.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for generating a signal with a signal generator comprising a tool body disposed in a tubular member. A first and second electromagnets are disposed within the tool body such that the second electromagnet is opposite the first electromagnet. A power supply selectively provides electrical current to the first and second electromagnets so as to displace the tubular member and generate a signal in the surrounding formation.
