Abstract

An electrode body of a non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The negative electrode includes a current collector and an active material layer. The active material layer includes active material particles. The active material particles have a volume distribution including a first peak corresponding to a first particle size and a second peak corresponding to a second particle size smaller than the first particle size. The first particle size is in a range of 7.0 μm to 9.0 μm. The second particle size is in a range of 0.8 μm to 1.0 μm. The separator has a surface roughness of 1.54 μm or greater. A peak ratio of a volume of the active material particles of the second peak to a volume of the active material particles of the first peak is in a range of 0.42 to 0.71.

Claims (18)

1 . An electrode body of a non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery, the electrode body comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode; and

a separator arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, wherein

the negative electrode includes a current collector and an active material layer applied to at least one surface of the current collector,

the active material layer includes active material particles of different particle sizes formed from a carbon material,

the active material particles have a volume distribution with respect to particle size, the volume distribution including a first peak corresponding to a first particle size and a second peak corresponding to a second particle size that is smaller than the first particle size,

the first particle size is in a range of 7.0 μm to 9.0 μm,

the second particle size is in a range of 0.8 μm to 1.0 μm,

the separator has a surface roughness of 1.54 μm or greater, and

a peak ratio that is a ratio of a volume of the active material particles of the second peak to a volume of the active material particles of the first peak is in a range of 0.42 to 0.71.

2 . The electrode body of a non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the surface roughness of the separator is 2.29 μm or greater, and

the peak ratio is in a range of 0.42 to 0.61.

3 . A non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery, comprising:

the electrode body according to claim 1 ;

a non-aqueous electrolyte; and

a battery case accommodating the electrode body and the non-aqueous electrolyte.
