An aspect of the present invention is an electrode which includes an active material layer, and an insulating layer layered on a surface of the active material layer, in which the insulating layer contains a filler and a first binder, and a content of the first binder in the insulating layer is 8% by mass or more. Another aspect of the present invention is an electrode which includes an active material layer, and an insulating layer layered on a surface of the active material layer, in which the insulating layer is a dry coating product containing a filler and a binder. Still another aspect of the present invention is a method for manufacturing an electrode, which includes the steps of forming an active material layer, and laminating an insulator containing a filler and a binder on a surface of the active material layer to form an insulating layer, in which the insulator does not contain a solvent.

Electrode, energy storage device, and method for manufacturing electrode

In an electrode having a covering layer stacked on a composite layer, an increase in resistance of the electrode is suppressed. An electrode plate includes a composite layer including active material particles and a covering layer including filler particles stacked on the composite layer. In this electrode plate, a particle size (D30) of the active material particle is set to be equal to or smaller than a particle size (D50) of the filler particle.

An object of the present invention is to provide a positive active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery which has a large discharge capacity and is superior in charge-discharge cycle performance, initial efficiency and high rate discharge performance, and a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery using the positive active material. The present invention pertains to a positive active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery containing a lithium transition metal composite oxide which has a crystal structure of an &#x3b1;-NaFeOtype, is represented by a compositional formula LiMeO(Me is a transition metal element including Co, Ni and Mn, &#x3b1;&#x3e;0), and has a molar ratio Li/Me of Li to the transition metal element Me of 1.2 to 1.6, wherein a molar ratio Co/Me of Co in the transition metal element Me is 0.02 to 0.23, a molar ratio Mn/Me of Mn in the transition metal element Me is 0.62 to 0.72, and the lithium transition metal composite oxide is observed as a single phase attributed to a space group R3-m on an X-ray diffraction chart when it is electrochemically oxidized up to a potential of 5.0 V (vs. Li/Li).

Positive active material for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, method of manufacturing the positive active material, electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery and method of manufacturing the secondary battery

A nonaqueous secondary electrolytic battery comprising an electricity-generating element formed by spirally winding a laminate of a positive electrode plate, a separating material and a negative electrode plate, and an electrolytic solution with which the separating material, if it is a separator, is impregnated. The electricity-generating element is sealed in a battery case formed by a resin-laminated sheet comprising a metal layer as a barrier layer. Only a pair of lead terminals are drawn to the exterior of the battery case. The resin sheet comprises an oriented resin layer laminated on both surfaces of the metal layer. The inner heat-fused layers are opposed and heat-fused to each other. A molten and solidified resin mass is formed protruding from the inner end of the welded portion toward the inner space of the battery by 0.1 mm or more. Alternatively, the welded portion is formed thinner at the outer end thereof than at the inner end thereof.

Nonaqueous secondary electrolytic battery
