  • Publication number: 20070117008
    Abstract: The present invention provides a stack-type lithium-ion polymer battery wherein: the battery capacity is not being degraded; the generation of the wrinkles and fracture of the separator is being suppressed; the battery has gas releasing paths; the displacement of an electrode stack hardly occurs; and the workability at the time of placing the electrode stack in a package body is improved by fixing the electrode stack. A stack-type lithium-ion polymer battery of the present invention comprises: a cathode 13; an anode 14; a separator 15; and a gel electrolyte; wherein an electrode stack 23 in which the cathode 13 and the anode 14 are stacked through the separator 15 is enclosed and fixed by insulating porous sheets 21 and 24, and is packaged with a laminate material.

  • Publication number: 20070099056
    Abstract: The operability of a fuel cell which uses a fuel cartridge housing a liquid fuel is improved. A fuel cartridge 1400 houses a liquid fuel 124. The fuel cartridge 1400 includes a gas-liquid separation film 1408 which divides a fuel housing section 1402 into a liquid housing chamber 1402a and a gas housing chamber 1402b. A fuel gas, which is the vaporized liquid fuel, is housed in the gas housing chamber 1402b. A gas exhaust pipe 1410 is connected to the gas housing chamber 1402b, and the fuel gas housed in the gas housing chamber 1402b is discharged to outside the fuel cartridge 1400 via a gas discharge port 1414.
