Abstract
A first electrode current collector is joined to a multilayer of a positive electrode core in a part including no positive electrode active material layer of the first electrode core, by ultrasonic welding in a joint area. The joint area, at which the multilayers of the first electrode core where the first electrode cores are stacked is joined to the first electrode current collector by ultrasonic welding, includes a plurality of core recesses. A core projection is formed between each adjacent pair of the plurality of core recesses of the multilayer of the first electrode core with the first electrode core flexed in a convex shape. A gap in an arc shape is formed between the adjacent pair of the layers of the first electrode core forming the core projection. The gap has a length decreasing from an apex to a bottom of the core projection.
