A method for producing a solid electrolyte battery in which an outer case houses at least one electrode cell that has an electrode unit comprising at least a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode layer stacked in this order, the method including the steps of: inserting the electrode cell in the outer case before pressing the electrode cell in a stacking direction in the electrode unit, and pressing the electrode cell from the outside of the outer case in the stacking direction in the electrode unit.

Abstract: A method for producing a solid-state cell which makes it possible to produce a highly reliable solid-state cell that suppresses a decrease in the thickness of the solid electrolyte layer and a short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes, and which is highly flexible in the size and shape of the solid electrolyte layer and electrodes. The method comprising: a structure preparing step for preparing a first structure, a second structure, or a third structure, a solid electrolyte material powder layer, and a positive electrode material powder layer are stacked, in this sequence; an insulating member disposing step for disposing a heat-resistant insulating member which is in contact with an outer periphery of the structure in the stacking direction of the structure and surrounds the outer periphery; and a heat-compressing step for heat-compressing the structure and heat-resistant insulating member, in the stacking direction of the structure.

Abstract: The present invention is a battery comprising: a power section containing a sulfur-based material; a distinguishing section which discolors by chemical reaction with hydrogen sulfide; and an exterior body incorporating the power section and the distinguishing section, the distinguishing section being observable from outside the exterior body. By checking discoloration of the distinguishing section or the distinguishing means, it is possible to easily detect the presence or absence of hydrogen sulfide in the battery and then judge deterioration of the battery with non-destructive inspection.

Abstract: Powder coating apparatus is equipped with a shutter for opening and closing the space between an object to be coated and a screen electrode. First, a powder is supplied onto the screen electrode from a hopper while the shutter is closed. Next, a brush is slidingly rubbed against the surface of a powder layer while the shutter is closed. The powder is thereby uniformed on the screen electrode without being transferred to the object. Subsequently, a high voltage is applied between the screen electrode and a transfer electrode to form a static electric field, and the shutter is opened. Then, the brush is slidingly rubbed against the powder layer again, and the powder on the screen electrode is coated on the object.

A solid electrolyte battery 1 includes a positive active material layer 21 containing positive active material particles 22, a negative active material layer 31 containing negative active material particles 32, and a solid electrolyte layer 40 interposed therebetween. The solid electrolyte layer contains a sulfide solid electrolyte SE but no resin binder and self-maintains its shape by a bonding force of the sulfide solid electrolyte. The solid electrolyte layer has a layer thickness 40T of 50 ?m or less and an area 40S of 100 cm2 or more.

Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a film-formed body wherein a second film is formed by suppressing influence of existence/absence of a first film, at the time of forming the second film by making fine particles collide and deposited on a second film forming surface on a substrate whereupon the first film has been already formed. A film-formed body is provided with a foil-like substrate having a first film-forming surface and a second film-forming surface; a first film formed on a part of the first film-forming surface; and a second film formed at least on a part of the second film-forming surface. The first film includes an overlapping section which overlaps with the second film when viewed in the thickness direction of the substrate.
