Abstract

A lithium-ion secondary battery includes: an electrode body in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are stacked or wound through a separator; a plurality of positive electrode tabs drawn from the electrode body; a plurality of negative electrode tabs drawn from the electrode body; a joint portion between the positive electrode tabs and a positive electrode lead tab; and a joint portion between the negative electrode tabs and a negative electrode lead tab. Apart of a metal plate is disposed on a surface of the positive electrode tab or positive electrode lead tab in the joint portion and on a surface of the negative electrode tab or negative electrode lead tab in the joint portion and joined integrally thereto, and a remaining part of the metal plate is wound around the joint portions.

Claims (25)

1. A lithium-ion secondary battery comprising:

an electrode body in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are stacked or wound through a separator;

a plurality of positive electrode tabs drawn from the electrode body;

a plurality of negative electrode tabs drawn from the electrode body;

a joint portion between the positive electrode tabs and a positive electrode lead tab; and

a joint portion between the negative electrode tabs and a negative electrode lead tab, wherein

a part of a metal plate is disposed on a surface of the positive electrode tab or positive electrode lead tab in the joint portion and on a surface of the negative electrode tab or negative electrode lead tab in the joint portion and joined integrally thereto,

a remaining part of the metal plate is wound around the joint portions,

the remaining part of the metal plate is folded to cover a surface abnormal portion formed at the portion at which the metal plate is joined to the joint portion, and is further wound around an outer periphery of the joint portion to a portion that covers another surface abnormal portion formed on a second surface which is opposite to first surface on which the surface abnormal portion is formed on the metal plate, and

the metal plate is wound around the first surface and the second surface.

2. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the metal plate is wound by one round or more from a portion at which it is joined to the joint portion.

3. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the joining portion and metal plate are each covered with a synthetic resin layer.

4. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 3 , wherein

the synthetic resin layer is a modified polyphenylene ether layer.

5. A lithium-ion secondary battery comprising:

an electrode body in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are stacked or wound through a separator;

a plurality of positive electrode tabs drawn from the electrode body;

a plurality of negative electrode tabs drawn from the electrode body;

a joint portion between the positive electrode tabs and a positive electrode lead tab; and

a joint portion between the negative electrode tabs and a negative electrode lead tab, wherein

a part of a metal plate is disposed on a surface of the positive electrode tab or positive electrode lead tab in the joint portion and on a surface of the negative electrode tab or negative electrode lead tab in the joint portion and joined integrally thereto,

a remaining part of the metal plate is wound around the joint portions,

the remaining part of the metal plate is folded back on itself so as to cover a surface abnormal portion formed at the portion at which the metal plate is joined to the joint portion, and is further wound around an outer periphery of the joint portion to a portion that covers another surface abnormal portion formed on a second surface which is opposite to first surface on which the surface abnormal portion is formed at the folded-back portion of the metal plate, and

the metal plate is wound around the first surface and the second surface.
