  • Publication number: 20240128430
    Abstract: An electrode body including a current collector and an electrode layer that includes layers in the order of a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer from the current collector side in a thickness direction. The first electrode layer includes an end surface A, and the second electrode layer includes an end surface B. In a cross-sectional view in the thickness direction, the end surface A includes an end part A1 in the current collector side, and an end part A2 in the second electrode layer side, and the end surface B includes an end part B1 in the first electrode layer side, and an end part B2 in an opposite side to the first electrode layer; the end surface A includes, in a vertical direction to the thickness direction, and a first inclination part in which the end part A1 protrudes form the end part A2.

  • Publication number: 20240105903
    Abstract: A production device of an electrode member to be used for a battery, the production device including: a backup roll configured to support a current collector to be carried; a first die configured to form a first coating layer by coating the current collector on the backup roll with a first slurry; and a second die configured to form a second coating layer by coating the first coating layer on the backup roll with a second slurry, wherein each of the first die and the second die are independent; and when horizontal direction is regarded as a reference 0°, perpendicular downward is regarded as +90°, and perpendicular upward is regarded as ?90°, a discharge angle of the second slurry in the second die is ?90° or more and +60° or less.
