Abstract

The present invention provides an electrochemical cell including: an electrode body; an exterior packaging body in which a plurality of substrates including a first substrate formed from a ceramic material are stacked in the first direction, and a cavity in which the electrode body is accommodated is formed; a first electrode connection wiring that is formed in the exterior packaging body and connects a first electrode layer and an external substrate to each other; and a second electrode connection wiring that is forming in the exterior packaging body and connects a second electrode layer and the external substrate to each other. At least the first electrode connection wiring is formed in the first substrate, and an attachment portion, to which a fastening member configured to mount at least the first electrode connection wiring to the external substrate is attached, is formed in the first substrate.

Claims (19)

1. An electrochemical cell comprising:

an electrode body in which a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer are alternately stacked in a first direction via a solid electrolyte;

an exterior packaging body in which a plurality of substrates including a first substrate of a ceramic material are stacked in the first direction, and defining a cavity that accommodates the electrode body;

a first electrode connection wiring in the exterior packaging body and connecting the first electrode layer and an external substrate to each other, the external substrate coextensive with the first substrate; and

a second electrode connection wiring in the exterior packaging body and connecting the second electrode layer and the external substrate to each other,

wherein at least the first electrode connection wiring is in the first substrate, and

an attachment portion configured to attach a first fastening member is at the first substrate,

at least the first electrode connection wiring and the first substrate are mounted to the external substrate by attaching the first fastening member to the attachment portion, and

the attachment portion protrudes so as to be separated from the electrode body in an in-plane direction of the first substrate, in a plan view seen from the first direction.

2. The electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein the first electrode connection wiring and the second electrode connection wiring are at the first substrate, and the attachment portion includes:

a first electrode attachment portion to which the first fastening member is attached; and

a second electrode attachment portion to which a second fastening member configured to mount the second electrode connection wiring to the external substrate is attached.

3. The electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate includes a mounting portion on which the electrode body is mounted, and the attachment portion protrudes so as to be separated from the mounting portion in the in-plane direction of the first substrate, in a plan view seen from the first direction.

4. The electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment portion includes a notched portion into which the fastening member is inserted in the first direction.

5. The electrochemical cell according to claim 4 , wherein at least the first electrode connection wiring is exposed to an inner surface of the notched portion.

6. The electrochemical cell according to claim 5 , wherein the notched portion includes a head accommodating portion in which a head of the fastening member is accommodated, and a shaft accommodating portion into which a shaft portion of the fastening member is inserted, and which has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the head accommodating portion, and

wherein the first electrode connection wiring is exposed to a surface faces the fastening member in the first direction.

7. The electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein the first electrode connection wiring is exposed to a surface of the first substrate that faces the external substrate.

8. The electrochemical cell according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrode connection wiring is connected to an elastically deformable electrode terminal in the external substrate.
