Abstract

A battery is provided. The battery includes a positive electrode; a negative electrode; and an electrolyte that includes an electrolyte salt, a solvent, a matrix polymer, and a ceramic powder; wherein the matrix polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl formal, polyacrylic acid ester, polyvinylidene fluoride, a copolymer of polyvinyl formal, a copolymer of polyacrylic acid ester and a copolymer of polyvinylidene fluoride; and wherein a mass ratio of the ceramic powder to the matrix polymer ranges from 2/1 to 5/1.

Claims (30)

1. A battery comprising:

an electrolyte that includes an electrolyte salt, a solvent, a matrix polymer, and a ceramic powder;

wherein the matrix polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl formal, polyacrylic acid ester, polyvinylidene fluoride, a copolymer of polyvinyl formal, a copolymer of polyacrylic acid ester and a copolymer of polyvinylidene fluoride; and

wherein a mass ratio of the ceramic powder to the matrix polymer ranges from 2/1 to 5/1, the ceramic powder is one or both of aluminum nitride (AlN) and boron nitride (BN), and the ceramic powder is mixed in an amount of 0.5 mg/cm 2 or more and 3.6 mg/cm 2 or less per unit area of the positive electrode or the negative electrode.

2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte salt is a lithium salt, and wherein the concentration of the lithium salt in the electrolyte is 0.5 mol/kg or more and 2.1 mol/kg or less.

3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix polymer contains polyvinylidene fluoride having a weight-average molecular weight of 550,000 or more.

4. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte has an extension that protrudes from a positive electrode active material layer and a negative electrode active material layer in a direction that crosses a laminate direction.

5. The battery according to claim 4 , wherein the extension covers a width of 0.1 mm or more and 2 mm or less from a lateral end portion of at least one of the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer.

6. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte includes a nonionic surfactant.

7. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix polymer includes a polyvinylidene fluoridehexafluoro-propylene copolymer.

8. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic powder has a thermal conductivity of 50 W/m° C. or more.

9. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic powder has an average particle size of 0.1 μm or more and 2.5 μm or less.

10. An electronic device comprising the battery according to claim 1 .

11. A battery comprising:
