Patent number: 11145848Abstract: A method of producing a secondary battery disclosed here includes forming a positive electrode active material layer containing a lithium- and manganese-containing composite oxide on a positive electrode current collector to produce a positive electrode; measuring a peel strength between the positive electrode active material layer and the positive electrode current collector; producing a secondary battery assembly including the positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte using the positive electrode; and initially charging the secondary battery assembly. When the secondary battery assembly is initially charged, a restraining pressure is determined based on the measured peel strength, and in a predetermined peel strength range, a higher restraining pressure is set for a secondary battery assembly including a positive electrode having a low peel strength than for a secondary battery assembly including a positive electrode having a large peel strength.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Akira Tsujiko, Ippei Goto
