リチウムイオン電池には集電体の他に、電流を集電体から外部に取り出すため部材(タブとも言われる)が集電体に接続されているが、特許文献1に記載の上記従来例の技術では、前記の電流を外部に取り出すための部材に生じるリチウムの析出を充分に防止することができなかった。   In the lithium ion battery, in addition to the current collector, a member (also referred to as a tab) is connected to the current collector in order to take out the current from the current collector to the outside. According to the technology, it has not been possible to sufficiently prevent the deposition of lithium generated in the member for extracting the current to the outside.

本発明は上記実情に鑑みて為されたもので、電流を集電体から外部に取り出すための部材でのリチウムの析出を抑制できるリチウムイオン電池を提供することを、その目的の一つとする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a lithium ion battery capable of suppressing the deposition of lithium in a member for extracting current from the current collector to the outside.

上記従来例の問題点を解決する本発明は、リチウムイオン電池であって、正極集電体本体、正極集電体本体に電気的に接続された第1の導電体、当該正極集電体上に形成された正極活物質層、負極集電体本体、負極集電体本体に電気的に接続された第2の導電体、当該負極集電体上に形成された負極活物質層、及び、前記正極活物質層と負極活物質層との間に配されるセパレータを含んでなる平板状の単電池セルを、外装体に収納してなるリチウムイオン電池であって、前記第1の導電体と前記第2の導電体とは、前記外装体の外方に引き出され、外装体の内部において、外装体の内面に接する側の面を、内側に向けて谷折りに屈曲した屈曲部を有し、前記第1の導電体と第2の導電体の少なくとも一方は、前記屈曲部が、絶縁被覆層で被覆されてなることとしたものである。   The present invention for solving the problems of the conventional example is a lithium ion battery, comprising a positive electrode current collector body, a first conductor electrically connected to the positive electrode current collector body, and the positive electrode current collector. A positive electrode active material layer formed on the negative electrode current collector body, a second conductor electrically connected to the negative electrode current collector body, a negative electrode active material layer formed on the negative electrode current collector, It is a lithium ion battery which accommodates the plate-shaped unit cell containing the separator arrange | positioned between the said positive electrode active material layer and a negative electrode active material layer in an exterior body, Comprising: Said 1st conductor The second conductor is drawn out of the outer package, and the inner surface of the outer package has a bent portion in which the surface on the side in contact with the inner surface of the outer package is bent in a valley fold. And at least one of the first conductor and the second conductor, the bending portion is covered with an insulating coating layer It is one in which it was decided to composed.

正極集電体本体と第1の導電体、及び負極集電体本体と第2の導電体とは、それぞれ電気的に接続されていればよく、一つの部材で構成されていてもよく、別々の部材を導電性接着剤及び金属材料(はんだ等)で接着して構成されていてもよい。   The positive electrode current collector main body and the first electrical conductor, and the negative electrode current collector main body and the second electrical conductor may be respectively electrically connected, and may be constituted by one member, separately The members of the above may be adhered by a conductive adhesive and a metal material (such as solder).

またここで、前記外装体は、一対の外装材と、外装材の周縁部に配置され前記単電池セルを一対の外装材の間に封止する封止部を有し、前記封止部を構成する封止材の一部が、前記第1の導電体または第2の導電体の前記屈曲部まで延設され、前記封止部と前記絶縁被覆部とを一体に形成していてもよい。   Here, the exterior body has a pair of exterior members, and a sealing portion disposed at the periphery of the exterior member and sealing the unit cell between the pair of exterior members, and the sealing portion A part of the sealing material to be configured may be extended to the bent portion of the first conductor or the second conductor, and the sealing portion and the insulating covering portion may be integrally formed. .

さらに、前記第1の導電体及び第2の導電体が外装材の内面に固定された状態にあり、前記第1の導電体及び第2の導電体が前記外装材の内面に沿って配設されていてもよい。   Furthermore, the first conductor and the second conductor are fixed to the inner surface of the package, and the first conductor and the second conductor are disposed along the inner surface of the package. It may be done.

本発明によると、電流を外部に取り出す部材でのリチウムの析出が抑制される。この理由は明らかではないが、活物質層に向けて突出する方向に屈曲した屈曲部分を有する導電体が存在すると、電池内部において電流が屈曲部分の頂点に集中し易くなり、それに起因してデンドライトが生じるが、本発明においては、その屈曲部を絶縁被覆することで電流の集中を抑えたことによる効果であると考えられる。   According to the present invention, the deposition of lithium in the member for extracting the current to the outside is suppressed. Although the reason for this is not clear, if there is a conductor having a bent portion bent in a direction projecting toward the active material layer, current tends to be concentrated at the top of the bent portion inside the battery, resulting in dendrite In the present invention, it is considered that the effect of suppressing the concentration of current by insulating coating the bent portion is considered.

本実施の形態のリチウムイオン電池の製造過程の一例を図3に示す。この例ではまず、一方の外装材16a内に、正極集電体本体11aと第1の導電体11bとが一体となった正極集電体11を配して固定する。このとき、第1の導電体11bは、図3に例示するように、この外装材16aの収納部161の底部161bに配された正極集電体本体11aから内側側面161s、フランジ部162までの形状に沿って屈曲され、フランジ部162を通って外装材16の外側まで延伸されている(図3におけるS1)。   An example of the manufacturing process of the lithium ion battery of the present embodiment is shown in FIG. In this example, first, the positive electrode current collector 11 in which the positive electrode current collector main body 11a and the first conductor 11b are integrated is disposed and fixed in one of the package members 16a. At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the first conductor 11 b extends from the positive electrode current collector main body 11 a disposed on the bottom portion 161 b of the housing portion 161 to the inner side surface 161 s and the flange portion 162. It is bent along the shape and extends to the outside of the sheathing 16 through the flange portion 162 (S1 in FIG. 3).

このとき正極集電体11には、図4に例示するように、少なくとも屈曲部112(収納部161の内側側面161sとフランジ部162との間にあり、正極集電体11の第1の導電体11aの、外装材16に接する側の面を内側に向けて谷折りに屈曲した屈曲部)に沿って、絶縁被覆層17として、熱融着テープ171を正極集電体11に接着した状態としておく。   At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the positive electrode current collector 11 includes at least the bent portion 112 (located between the inner side surface 161 s of the storage portion 161 and the flange portion 162, and the first conductive of the positive electrode current collector 11 A state in which the heat fusible tape 171 is adhered to the positive electrode current collector 11 as the insulating covering layer 17 along the side of the body 11a that is in contact with the exterior material 16 and bent inwards) I will leave.

図4の例では、正極集電体11のうち、正極集電体本体11aの外装材16aに接する側には、全面的に熱融着テープ171が貼り付けられる。また、導電体11bが有する屈曲部112のうち、後に正極活物質12が接する側であって屈曲部112を覆う部分に熱融着テープ171が貼り付けられ、正極集電体本体11aのうち正極活物質12が接する面は熱融着テープ171による被覆は行わない。   In the example of FIG. 4, the heat fusible tape 171 is attached to the entire surface of the positive electrode current collector 11 on the side of the positive electrode current collector main body 11 a in contact with the exterior material 16 a. Further, the heat fusible tape 171 is attached to a portion of the bent portion 112 of the conductor 11b which is later in contact with the positive electrode active material 12 and covers the bent portion 112, and the positive electrode current collector body 11a The surface in contact with the active material 12 is not coated with the heat fusion tape 171.

次に、外装材16aの収納部161内に正極活物質12を充填し(図3におけるS2)、正極集電体本体11a上に正極活物質12を積層し、さらに収納部161を覆いフランジ部162までその外周縁が達する大きさのセパレータ13を正極活物質12上に配置する(図3におけるS3)。   Next, the positive electrode active material 12 is filled in the housing portion 161 of the packaging material 16a (S2 in FIG. 3), and the positive electrode active material 12 is stacked on the positive electrode current collector main body 11a. A separator 13 of such a size that the outer peripheral edge reaches up to 162 is disposed on the positive electrode active material 12 (S3 in FIG. 3).

一方、もう一つの外装材16b内にも、上記の正極集電体11の例と同様に、第2の導電体14bが、外装材16bの収納部161の底部161bに配置された負極集電体14から内側側面161s、フランジ部162までの形状に沿って屈曲して配置され、フランジ部162を通して外装体16の外側まで延伸されている。   On the other hand, as in the example of the positive electrode current collector 11 described above, the second conductor 14b is disposed in the bottom portion 161b of the storage portion 161 of the exterior member 16b in the other exterior member 16b as well. It is arranged to bend along the shape from the body 14 to the inner side surface 161s and the flange portion 162, and extends to the outside of the exterior body 16 through the flange portion 162.

この負極集電体14にも、図4に例示した正極集電体11の例と同様に、少なくとも屈曲部112(収納部161の内側側面161sとフランジ部162との間にあり、負極集電体14の第2の導電体14bの外装材16に接する側の面を内側に向けて谷折りに屈曲した屈曲部)に沿って、絶縁被覆層17として、熱融着テープ171を負極集電体14に接着した状態としておく。   Similarly to the example of the positive electrode current collector 11 illustrated in FIG. 4, the negative electrode current collector 14 has at least the bent portion 112 (located between the inner side surface 161s of the storage portion 161 and the flange portion 162, The heat fusible tape 171 is used as an insulation coating layer 17 along the surface of the second conductor 14b of the body 14 in contact with the exterior material 16 and the inward facing surface). It is in a state of being adhered to the body 14.

ここでも図4の例と同様、負極集電体14のうち、負極集電体本体14aの外装材16bに接する側には、全面的に熱融着テープ171が貼り付けられる。また、導電体14が有する屈曲部112のうち、後に負極活物質が接する側であって屈曲部112を覆う部分に熱融着テープ171が貼り付けられ、負極集電体本体14aのうち負極活物質15が接する面は熱融着テープ171による被覆は行わない。   Here, as in the example of FIG. 4, the heat fusible tape 171 is attached to the entire surface of the negative electrode current collector 14 on the side of the negative electrode current collector main body 14 a in contact with the exterior material 16 b. Further, the heat fusible tape 171 is attached to a portion of the bent portion 112 of the conductor 14 which is later in contact with the negative electrode active material and covers the bent portion 112, and the negative electrode active of the negative electrode current collector body 14a. The surface in contact with the substance 15 is not coated with the heat fusion tape 171.

次に、外装材16bの収納部161内に負極活物質15を充填し、負極集電体本体14a上に負極活物質15を積層する。   Next, the negative electrode active material 15 is filled in the housing portion 161 of the packaging material 16b, and the negative electrode active material 15 is stacked on the negative electrode current collector main body 14a.

そして正極活物質12と負極活物質15とがセパレータ13を介して積層されるよう、外装材16a,16bを対向させて配する。そして、外装材16a,16bのフランジ部162に封止部を構成する熱融着テープ171を配置してフランジ部162を熱圧着する(S4)。このとき、熱融着テープ171が外装材16a,16b、及びセパレータ13に融着して、単電池セルを外装体内に封止した状態となる。   Then, the package members 16 a and 16 b are disposed to face each other so that the positive electrode active material 12 and the negative electrode active material 15 are stacked via the separator 13. Then, the thermal adhesive tape 171 constituting the sealing portion is disposed on the flange portion 162 of the exterior members 16a and 16b, and the flange portion 162 is thermocompression-bonded (S4). At this time, the heat fusible tape 171 is fused to the package members 16a and 16b and the separator 13 to seal the unit cell inside the package.

本実施の形態のリチウムイオン電池は、例えば上述のようにして製造され、図2にその断面を示した構造を有する。図2の例では、正極集電体11と、この正極集電体11上に配した正極活物質層12と、セパレータ13と、負極活物質層15と、負極集電体14とをこの順で積層して成る平板状の単電池セルが示されている。   The lithium ion battery of the present embodiment is manufactured, for example, as described above, and has a structure whose cross section is shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 2, the positive electrode current collector 11, the positive electrode active material layer 12 disposed on the positive electrode current collector 11, the separator 13, the negative electrode active material layer 15, and the negative electrode current collector 14 in this order A flat plate-like single battery cell is shown which is formed by stacking at

本実施の形態では、正極活物質12に電気的に接続されている正極集電体本体11bと、一部が外装材16の外方に引き出された第1の導電体11aとが一体となった正極集電体11において、第1の導電体11aの外装材に接する側の面を内側に向けて谷折りに屈曲した屈曲部112とを有している。   In the present embodiment, the positive electrode current collector main body 11 b electrically connected to the positive electrode active material 12 and the first conductor 11 a partially pulled out of the exterior member 16 are integrated. The positive electrode current collector 11 has a bent portion 112 which is bent in a valley manner with the surface of the first conductor 11a in contact with the outer package facing inward.

そして、この屈曲部112には、正極活物質12から隔離するよう、屈曲部112を覆う絶縁被覆層17としての熱融着テープ171が貼付されている。   Then, a heat sealing tape 171 as an insulating covering layer 17 covering the bent portion 112 is attached to the bent portion 112 so as to be isolated from the positive electrode active material 12.

また本実施の形態では、負極活物質15に電気的に接続されている負極集電体本体14bと、一部が外装材16の外方に引き出された第2の導電体14bとが一体となった負極集電体14においても、第2の導電体14bの外装材16に接する面を内側に向けて谷折りに屈曲した屈曲部112を有している。   Further, in the present embodiment, the negative electrode current collector main body 14 b electrically connected to the negative electrode active material 15 and the second conductor 14 b partially pulled out of the exterior material 16 are integrated. The negative electrode current collector 14 also has a bent portion 112 bent in a valley manner with the surface of the second conductor 14b in contact with the exterior material 16 facing inward.

そして、これら負極集電体14の屈曲部112にも、屈曲部112を、負極活物質15から隔離するよう、屈曲部全体を覆う絶縁被覆層17としての熱融着テープ171が貼付されている。   Further, the heat fusible tape 171 as the insulating covering layer 17 covering the entire bent portion is attached to the bent portion 112 of the negative electrode current collector 14 so as to separate the bent portion 112 from the negative electrode active material 15. .

ここまでに説明した例では、絶縁被覆層17を構成する熱融着テープ171がフランジ部162にまで延設されている。すなわち、フランジ部162に配置された熱融着テープ171は封止部としても機能し、封止部として機能する熱融着テープ171が導電体の外装材に接する面を内側に向けて谷折りに屈曲した屈曲部(被覆しない場合、活物質に接することとなる屈曲部)にまで延伸されて、絶縁被覆層17として屈曲部を被覆することで、リチウムの析出を抑制している。ここで封止部と被覆絶縁層17とのそれぞれを構成する部材を一体として構成することでリチウムの析出防止と封止とを簡便な操作で両立することができる。   In the example described so far, the heat sealing tape 171 constituting the insulating covering layer 17 is extended to the flange portion 162. That is, the heat fusible tape 171 disposed on the flange portion 162 also functions as a sealing portion, and the heat fusible tape 171 functioning as the sealing portion is valley-folded with the surface in contact with the exterior material of the conductor facing inward. It is extended | stretched to the bending part bent to (The bending part which will contact | connect an active material when not coat | covering), and the precipitation part of lithium is suppressed by coat | covering a bending part as the insulation coating layer 17. FIG. Here, by integrally forming the members constituting each of the sealing portion and the covering insulating layer 17, it is possible to achieve both prevention of lithium deposition and sealing by a simple operation.

しかしながら、封止部として機能する部材(熱融着テープ171)と絶縁被覆層17である部材とを一体にして配置する例としたが、本実施の形態はこれに限られず、封止部を構成する部材とは別体の部材により絶縁被覆層17を構成して屈曲部112を被覆する構成としても構わない。   However, although an example is described in which the member functioning as the sealing portion (the heat fusion tape 171) and the member which is the insulating covering layer 17 are integrally disposed, the present embodiment is not limited thereto. The insulating covering layer 17 may be configured by a member separate from the member to be configured to cover the bent portion 112.

なお、ここまでの例では、正極、負極導電体11b,14bのそれぞれの屈曲部112に絶縁被覆層17を積層して活物質層から隔離しているが、本実施の形態はこれに限られず、正極,負極導電体11b,14bの少なくとも一方、好ましくは双方の屈曲部112に絶縁被覆層17が積層されればよい。   In the examples so far, the insulating covering layer 17 is laminated on the bent portions 112 of the positive electrode and the negative electrode conductors 11b and 14b to separate them from the active material layer, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto. The insulating covering layer 17 may be stacked on at least one of the positive electrode and negative electrode conductors 11 b and 14 b, preferably on both the bent portions 112.

さらに図1〜図4を用いたここまでの説明では、正極集電体11や負極集電体14が第1,第2の導電体として外装材16の外部まで引き出されることで、電極となる導電体(電極導電体)を兼ねる構成を例示したが、正極集電体11と正極の電極導電体とを別体として形成し、また、負極集電体14と負極の電極導電体とを別体として形成して、各集電体と電極導電体とが互いに電気的に接続されて第1,第2の導電体を実現する構成となっていてもよい。この場合において、電池内部における屈曲部が集電体ではなく電極導電体に形成され、当該屈曲部が被覆しない場合に活物質層に接触する構成となる場合は、当該屈曲部を絶縁被覆層17で被覆してもよい。   Furthermore, in the description so far using FIGS. 1 to 4, the positive electrode current collector 11 and the negative electrode current collector 14 are drawn to the outside of the exterior material 16 as the first and second conductors, thereby becoming electrodes. Although the configuration also serving as a conductor (electrode conductor) is illustrated, the positive electrode current collector 11 and the electrode conductor of the positive electrode are separately formed, and the negative electrode current collector 14 and the electrode conductor of the negative electrode are separately formed. It may be formed as a body, and each current collector and the electrode conductor may be electrically connected to each other to realize the first and second conductors. In this case, when the bent portion in the inside of the battery is formed not on the current collector but on the electrode conductor, and the bent portion does not cover, the bent portion serves as the insulating covering layer 17. It may be coated with
