Abstract: A manufacturing method for a secondary battery disclosed herein includes: a first step of manufacturing a wound electrode body with a flat shape by stacking a first separator, a positive electrode, a second separator, and a negative electrode and winding the stack; a second step of disposing the wound electrode body in a battery case; and a third step of injecting an electrolyte solution into the battery case. In the first step, the wound electrode body is manufactured in a manner that when peel strength between the first separator and the negative electrode is A (N/m) and peel strength between the second separator and the negative electrode is B (N/m), a difference between the peel strength A and the peel strength B is 0.5 (N/m) or more.

Abstract: In an injection process, molten resin is successively injected from a first flow channel and a second flow channel connected with each other in order into a cavity of a metal mold. High-temperature resin existing in the first flow channel is injected in advance into the cavity as a part of a single shot of molten resin to later form a skin layer of a molded article. Other low temperature resin near a flowable limit existing in the second flow channel is subsequently injected into the cavity as another part of the single shot of molten resin to later form a core layer of the molded article. A low temperature resin remaining in the first flow channel when injection is completed is warmed to be a high-temperature resin before the next cycle, thereby allowing successive molding of molded articles.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a secondary battery capable of inhibiting precipitation of metallic lithium is provided. The secondary battery disclosed herein includes a flat wound electrode body. A positive electrode starting end portion inside the electrode body has a first region extending along a flat portion of the electrode body. On the other hand, a negative electrode starting end portion inside the electrode body has a second region extending along the flat portion, a folded portion folded back from an end portion of the second region, and a third region extending from an end portion of the folded portion. In addition, the electrode body has an electrode starting end stacked portion in which the first region, the second region, and the third region overlap. According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a partial pressing failure from occurring and inhibit the precipitation of metallic lithium.
