Provided is a method for manufacturing an energy storage device including an electrode that has an active material layer, an electrolyte solution, and a case. According to the present embodiment, the method including injecting an electrolyte solution in a predetermined amount into a case is characterized in that the predetermined amount is an amount such that, an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal at least partially comes into contact with a free electrolyte solution that is the electrolyte solution excluding the electrolyte solution soaking into the electrode assembly in the case, with the case housing therein: the alkali metal or the alkaline earth metal of an ion supply member that has the alkali metal or the alkaline earth metal disposed on a conductive member other than the active material layer; and an electrode assembly including the stacked electrode that has electrical conduction to the conducive member of the ion supply member.

Method for manufacturing energy storage device, and energy storage device

One aspect of the present invention is an energy storage device including a positive electrode containing: first positive active material particles containing a metal element capable of forming a conductive metal oxide; and second positive active material particles not containing the metal element, in which the first positive active material particles include a nickel-cobalt-manganese-containing lithium-transition metal composite oxide containing lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese as constituent elements, and the first positive active material particles are larger in median diameter than the second positive active material particles.

Energy storage device

A molded product production system includes a powdery material mixing and feeding device configured to feed mixed powdery materials including at least two types of powdery materials, a filler configured to fill, with the mixed powdery materials fed by the powdery material mixing and feeding device, a die bore of a compression-molding machine, a sensor configured to measure a mixing degree of the mixed powdery materials fed by the powdery material mixing and feeding device, and a molded product removal mechanism configured to distinguish a molded product obtained by compression molding mixed powdery materials having a mixing degree measured by the sensor out of a predetermined range from a molded product obtained by compression molding mixed powdery materials having a mixing degree within the predetermined range.

Molded product production system

A powdery material mixing degree measurement device includes a discharger configured to discharge mixed powdery materials to a filler configured to fill, with the powdery materials, a vertically penetrating die bore of a compression-molding machine including a table including the die bore, a slidable lower punch including an upper end inserted to the die bore, and a slidable upper punch including a lower end inserted to the die bore, a plurality of movable portions configured to move the mixed powdery materials to the discharger, and a sensor configured to measure a mixing degree of the mixed powdery materials in the movable portions.

Powdery material mixing degree measurement device, powdery material mixing and feeding system, and compression-molding machine including the same

A powdery material mixing and feeding device is configured to mix at least two types of powdery materials and to feed a compression-molding machine with the mixed powdery materials. The powdery material mixing and feeding device includes a first mixer configured to rotate about a substantially vertical shaft and to mix the powdery materials, and a reservoir configured to reserve at least a part of the powdery materials, and a second mixer configured to rotate about a substantially horizontal shaft and to mix the powdery materials.

Powdery material mixing and feeding device and compression-molding machine including the same

A molded product production system includes at least two measuring feeders configured to simultaneously adjust an amount of a discharged powdery material to a target value and feed the powdery material, a mixer configured to mix at least two powdery materials fed from the measuring feeders to obtain mixed powdery materials, a filler configured to fill, with the mixed powdery materials obtained by the mixer, a die bore of a compression-molding machine configured to compress a powdery material to mold a molded product, a sensor configured to measure a mixing degree of the mixed powdery materials obtained by the mixer, and a controller configured to adjust an amount of at least one of the powdery materials fed by the measuring feeders, or motion speed of a mixing member configured to agitate powdery materials in the mixer in accordance with the mixing degree of the mixed powdery materials measured by the sensor.

The powder compression molding machine includes: a case having a frame; a fresh air intake provided to the case; a suction port for drawing in an atmosphere in the case; an internal pressure measure that measures internal pressure in the case; a suction force measure that measures a suction force for drawing in the atmosphere in the case from the suction port; and a suction force control device that controls the suction force for drawing in the atmosphere in the case from the suction port. The internal pressure in the case is controlled by controlling the suction force by the suction force controller based on the internal pressure in the case measured by the internal pressure measure and/or the suction force measured by the suction force measure.
