Electric storage device
View Patent ↗An electrode laminate unit of an electric storage device includes positive electrodes, negative electrodes and a lithium electrode connected to the negative electrode. When an electrolyte solution is injected into the electric storage device, lithium ions are emitted from the lithium electrode to the negative electrode. A positive and a negative electrode current collector have through-holes that guide the lithium ions in the laminating direction. The aperture ratio of the through-holes at the edge parts where the electrolyte solution is easy to be permeated is set to be smaller than the aperture ratio at central parts in order to suppress the permeation. Thus, the distribution of the electrolyte solution is made uniform, whereby the doping amount is made uniform.
1. An electric storage device comprising:
an electrode having an electrode current collector, which is provided with plural through-holes, and an electrode mixture layer provided on the current collector; and
an lithium electrode that has an lithium ion source and is connected to the electrode current collector for supplying lithium ions to the electrode mixture layer,
wherein the current collector has a connection part that is connected to the lithium electrode, and has an aperture ratio of the through-holes getting continuously smaller toward the connection part.
2. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the current collector has an edge part and a center part, and the aperture ratio of the edge part is set smaller than that of the center part.
3. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the aperture ratio is changed toward the connection part at a predetermined multi-levels.
4. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the aperture ratio is changed by changing space between the adjacent through-holes.
5. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the aperture ratio is changed by changing size of the through-holes.
6. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the electric storage device is pre-doped by supplying the lithium ions to the electrode mixture layer, and the ion is started to be pre-doped into the electrode by injecting an electrolyte solution.
