All-solid-state battery
A separator layer of the all-solid-state battery disclosed herein has a protruding portion protruding outward beyond end portions of opposed portions of a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and at least a part of the protruding portion layer is formed of a dense structure portion that is dense enough to prevent contact between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The dense structure portion is formed at a position satisfying A<B, where A denotes a shortest distance from the end portion of the opposed portions of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to the dense structure portion, and B denotes a shortest distance from a surface of the negative electrode active material layer at the end portion of the opposed portions of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to the positive electrode current collector at the end portion of the opposed portions.
1. An all-solid-state battery comprising a laminated electrode body of a laminated structure having:
a positive electrode in which a positive electrode active material layer including positive electrode active material particles and solid electrolyte particles is formed on a positive electrode current collector;
a negative electrode in which a negative electrode active material layer including negative electrode active material particles and solid electrolyte particles is formed on a negative electrode current collector; and
a separator layer including a base material having a porous structure and solid electrolyte particles held on the base material, wherein
the negative electrode and the separator layer each have a protruding portion protruding outward beyond end portions of opposed portions of the positive electrode and the negative electrode at least in a part of an end portion of the laminated electrode body;
at least a part of the protruding portion of the separator layer is formed of a dense structure portion that is dense enough to prevent contact between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and
the dense structure portion is formed at a position satisfying A<B, where A denotes a shortest distance from the end portion of the opposed portions of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to the dense structure portion, and B denotes a shortest distance from a surface of the negative electrode active material layer at the end portion of the opposed portions of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to the positive electrode current collector at the end portion of the opposed portions.
