  • Patent number: 11515532
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, there is provided an electrode including an active material-containing layer. A logarithmic differential pore volume distribution curve of the active material-containing layer by a mercury intrusion method includes first and second peaks. The first peak is a local maximum value in a range where a pore size is from 0.1 ?m or more to 0.5 ?m or less. The second peak is a local maximum value in a range where the pore size is from 0.5 ?m or more to 1.0 ?m or less. An intensity A1 of the first peak and an intensity A2 of the second peak satisfy 0.1?A2/A1?0.3. A density of the active material-containing layer is from 2.9 g/cm3 or more to 3.3 g/cm3 or less.

  • Publication number: 20210376393
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, provided is an electrode group including a stack that includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode. A first width of the positive electrode active material-containing layer of the positive electrode in a first direction is smaller than a second width of the negative electrode active material-containing layer of the negative electrode in the first direction. The electrode group has a wound structure where the stack is wound along the first direction. A length L corresponding to a difference between the second and first widths, a mass per unit area Ma of the negative electrode active material-containing layer, and a ratio p/n of a capacity p of the positive electrode to a capacity n of the negative electrode satisfy a relationship of 40 mg/m?(L×Ma)/(p/n)?60 mg/m.

  • Patent number: 11038206
    Abstract: A nonaqueous electrolyte battery includes a container member, a positive electrode stored in the container member, a negative electrode stored in the container member, and a nonaqueous electrolyte stored in the container member. A gas composition in the container member satisfies, when a charge ratio of the nonaqueous electrolyte battery is set to 30% and the nonaqueous electrolyte battery is left stand at 35° C. for 24 hrs, 0.02 (cc/g)?VH2?0.1 (cc/g)??(1) 0.05?VC3H6/VCO?0.1??(2) 1?VCO/VH2?9??(3).
