SECONDARY BATTERY
A secondary battery according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is characterized by comprising a metal case main body, and an electrode body that is accommodated in the case main body and formed by winding a positive electrode and negative electrode with a separator interposed therebetween, wherein: the negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector, a negative electrode active material layer formed on the negative electrode current collector, and a negative electrode current collector exposed section where the negative electrode current collector is exposed; the negative electrode current collector exposed section is disposed on a winding ending section of the electrode body and makes more than one lap circling in the winding starting direction L from the winding ending section of the electrode body, thereby forming a laminated part comprising the negative electrode exposed section, the laminated part and the case main body being welded together.
1 . A secondary battery comprising:
a metallic case body having an opening;
a sealing assembly sealing the opening of the metallic case body; and
an electrode assembly housed in the metallic case body, the electrode assembly including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator, the positive electrode and the negative electrode that are wound with the separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode,
the negative electrode including a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer formed on the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode having an exposed part in which the negative electrode active material layer is not formed and the negative electrode current collector is exposed,
the exposed part disposed at a winding end of the negative electrode,
the electrode assembly having a stacked part in which metal foils including the exposed part are stacked,
the stacked part welded to the metallic case body.
2 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the stacked part is disposed in an entire circumference of an outermost periphery of the electrode assembly.
3 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the stacked part includes the exposed part forming more than one turn in a direction from the winding end to a winding start of the electrode assembly.
4 . The secondary battery according to claim 3 , wherein the exposed part forms two or more turns in the direction from the winding end to the winding start of the electrode assembly.
5 . The secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the stacked part is welded to the metallic case body continuously over an entire circumference of a side surface of the metallic case body.
6 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the stacked part has a thickness of 20 μm or more and 200 μm or less.
