  • Publication number: 20250105252
    Abstract: A positive electrode of the present invention for an all-solid-state battery includes a positive electrode mixture that contains a positive electrode active material, a solid electrolyte, and a carbon material. The carbon material contains graphene. The content percentage of the solid electrolyte in the positive electrode mixture is 17 to 46% by mass. The content percentage of the graphene in the positive electrode mixture is 1.5 to 7% by mass. The percentage of the graphene in the carbon material is 70% by mass or more. An all-solid-state battery of the present invention includes an electrode body in which the positive electrode of the present invention for an all-solid-state battery, a solid electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode are stacked.

  • Patent number: 11955600
    Abstract: A solid-state battery is provided that allows the exterior can to be sufficiently crimped onto the seal can without leading to improper crimping, thus preventing entry of water from the outside. The solid-state battery 1 includes an exterior can 2, a seal can 3, facing the exterior can 2 and a power generation element 4 contained in the space between the exterior can 2 and seal can 3. The seal can 3 includes a flat portion 31 and a peripheral wall 32 that are contiguous to each other with a curved-surface portion 33 provided therebetween. A first clearance g1 is defined between the upper edge of the outer peripheral surface of the power generation element 4 and the border 10 between the inner surface of the flat portion 31 and the inner surface of the curved-surface portion 33, the first clearance having a radial dimension not larger than 2.0 mm at a position where its dimension is at its largest.

  • Patent number: 11656085
    Abstract: Location data is obtained in which an arrival link from which a vehicle can enter a location serving as a destination and an arrival link direction are associated with the location, the arrival link direction indicating a direction in which the vehicle can enter upon entering the location from the arrival link. A cost related to the arrival link is corrected based on the obtained location data. A route to the destination is searched for, using the corrected cost related to the arrival link.

  • Patent number: 10518506
    Abstract: Provided are a laminate that has high smoothness, planar homogeneity, and substrate adhesion and undergoes little change in physical properties even if degradation of surface quality due to physical contact in use has occurred, and a method for producing the homogeneous laminate in a convenient manner in a small number of steps. A laminate includes a substrate made of a polymer material and a partially oxidized thin layer graphite piece layer including partially oxidized thin layer graphite pieces and having an average thickness to of 3.0 nm to 10,000 nm, the layer being formed on the substrate and bonded to the substrate via a chemical bond.

  • Publication number: 20150223345
    Abstract: A wiring pattern forming method includes a first, second, and third step performed in sequence, the first step including depositing a resist layer on the non-wiring section of the first surface of an insulating substrate, the second step including depositing an electroconductive thin film layer on the wiring section and at least part of the resist layer, and the third step including radiating flash light in the visible band from a flash lamp onto at least the second surface of the resist layer via the second surface of the insulating substrate and dissolving the resist layer to form a wiring pattern made of the electroconductive thin film layer in the wiring section.
