  • Publication number: 20240413657
    Abstract: A regeneration method of an all-solid-state battery includes a step of preparing an all-solid-state battery having a cathode that does not contain copper, and a step of executing overdischarge control of the all-solid-state battery. The overdischarge control is control of mitigating reaction variance that is variance in electrode reaction due to charging and discharging of the all-solid-state battery, by discharging the all-solid-state battery until a potential of the cathode becomes lower than an elution potential of copper.
