  • Publication number: 20170256780
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a lithium-ion secondary battery electrode sheet proposed herein includes the step of pressing granulated particles (13a), wherein the ratio (t/D50) is less than 1, where D50 is the mean particle size of the granulated particles (13a) and t is the thickness of a layer (14) of active material particles (13a1) after pressing.

  • Publication number: 20170084897
    Abstract: An electrode body comprising a positive electrode mixture layer, a negative electrode mixture layer, and a thermoplastic-resin separator layer interposed therebetween is manufactured. A manufacturing method of the electrode body includes a preprocessing step of preprocessing a portion to be cut in a long-strip shaped integrated structure in which the separator layer as an accumulated layer of resin particles are interposed at least between the positive and negative electrode mixture layers such that the positive electrode mixture layer, the negative electrode mixture layer, and the separator layer are lowered their volume porosities to 10 to 20%, 10 to 20%, and 5% or less, respectively, and a cutting step of cutting the portion of the long-strip shaped integrated structure having been lowered the volume porosity by a cutting blade.

  • Publication number: 20170072512
    Abstract: A manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus for a separator layer-coated electrode are provided capable of shortening the time required to cut out a separator layer-coated electrode with a laser beam. In a cutting process, a laser beam is irradiated to a laser irradiation target portion of a strip-shaped separator layer-coated electrode from a front-side separator layer side to cut a strip-shaped separator layer-coated electrode. Prior to the cutting process, a preheating process is conducted to preheat the front-side separator layer in the laser irradiation target portion.

  • Patent number: 8394535
    Abstract: An electrode plate for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprises a current collector, and an electrode active material layer formed on at least part of the surface of the current collector. The electrode active material layer contains a particulate electrode active material and a binding material. The binding material is made of an amorphous metal oxide that does not cause alkaline metal ion intercalation and deintercalation reactions.
