  • Publication number: 20230207889
    Abstract: Provided is a technique with high strength, superior ionic conductivity, and superior electrical characteristics. A lithium ion secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a polymer electrolyte. The polymer electrolyte contains a lithium salt, an ionic liquid, and a polymer. The ionic liquid contains a bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide anion as an anion component. The content of the lithium salt is 2 mol/kg or more and 6 mol/kg or less based on the sum of the content of the ionic liquid and the content of the polymer. The content of the polymer is 25% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less based on the sum of the content of the ionic liquid and the content of the polymer.

  • Patent number: 11437607
    Abstract: A composition that includes a dispersion stabilizer for an electrode coating liquid for a power storage device is provided. The composition has superior ability to stably disperse an electrode active material and a conductive material, and makes it possible to manufacture a uniform electrode, even when a dispersion device that has weak shear force is used. A dispersant for an electrode coating liquid for a power storage device, the dispersant being characterized by containing cellulose fibers that satisfy (a)-(c). (a) The number average width of the short widths is 2-200 nm. (b) The aspect ratio is 7.5-250. (c) Cellulose I crystals are included and the crystallinity thereof is 70%-95%.
