Abstract

An electric storage device has positive and negative electrode systems. The positive electrode system includes a positive electrode having a current collector and a positive-electrode mixture layer. The negative electrode system includes a negative electrode having a current collector and a negative-electrode mixture layer. The negative electrode system further includes a first negative-electrode mixture layer and a second negative-electrode mixture layer, which are connected to each other and which include at least one different material or have different material composition ratios. The first negative-electrode mixture layer and the second negative-electrode mixture layer have different charge/discharge characteristics. A through-hole is formed in the current collector arranged between the first negative-electrode mixture layer and the second negative-electrode mixture layer.

Claims (24)

1. An electric storage device comprising:

a positive electrode system including a positive electrode having a current collector and a positive-electrode mixture layer; and

a negative electrode system including a negative electrode having a current collector and a negative-electrode mixture layer, wherein

the negative electrode system includes a first negative-electrode mixture layer and a second negative-electrode mixture layer, which are connected to each other and which include at least one different material or have different material composition ratios,

the first negative-electrode mixture layer and the second negative-electrode mixture layer have different charge/discharge characteristics, and

a through-hole is formed in the current collector arranged between the first negative-electrode mixture layer and the second negative-electrode mixture layer.

2. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first negative-electrode mixture layer and the second negative-electrode mixture layer are electrically connected to each other for moving ions between the first negative-electrode mixture layer and the second negative-electrode mixture layer via the through-hole.

3. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein

each the first negative-electrode mixture layer and the second negative-electrode mixture layer includes an active material differ from each other.

4. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first negative-electrode mixture layer contains one selected from the group consisting a polyacene-based organic semiconductor which is a heat-treated material of an aromatic condensation polymer and has a polyacene skeletal structure in which a ratio of a number of hydrogen atoms to a number of carbon atoms is 0.05 or more and 0.50 or less, a graphite, and a hard carbon, as a negative-electrode active material, and

the second negative-mixture layer contains one selected from the group consisting of two of the above three active materials other than the negative-electrode active material contained in the first negative-electrode mixture layer, as a negative-electrode active material.

5. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein

the negative electrode system includes a first negative electrode and a second negative electrode that sandwich the positive electrode, wherein the through-hole is formed in the current collector of the positive electrode arranged between the first negative-electrode mixture layer of the first negative electrode and the second negative-electrode mixture layer of the second negative electrode.

6. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein

the positive electrode system includes a first positive electrode and a second positive electrode that sandwich the negative electrode, wherein the though-hole is formed in the current collector of the negative electrode having the first negative-electrode mixture layer on its one surface and the second negative-electrode mixture layer on its other surface.

7. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a lithium ion source that is short-circuited to at least either one of the negative electrode and the positive electrode, wherein

lithium ions are doped from the lithium ion source into at least either one of the negative electrode and the positive electrode.

8. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein

the device structure is a laminate type in which the positive electrode and the negative electrode are alternately laminated, or a wound type in which the positive electrode and the negative electrode are laminated and wound.

9. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein

the positive-electrode mixture layer contains an active carbon.
