Abstract

A method of manufacturing an all-solid-state battery and an apparatus for manufacturing the same are provided. The method of manufacturing the all-solid-state battery includes: (a) a step of forming a non-woven fabric having a fiber made of a resin; (b) a step of applying a slurry containing solid electrolyte particles onto the non-woven fabric; (c) a step of drying the slurry on the non-woven fabric by a heater; (d) a step of pressurizing the slurry on the non-woven fabric by a roller; (e) a step of forming a positive electrode member on one surface of the solid electrolyte membrane; and (f) a step of forming a negative electrode member on the other surface of the solid electrolyte membrane. The step (a) is a step of forming the non-woven fabric by making a resin containing a polar filler fibrous by a laser electrospinning method. By such a method, the all-solid-state battery (a laminated body of a positive electrode member, a solid electrolyte membrane, and a negative electrode member) can be efficiently manufactured.

Claims (18)

1. A method of manufacturing a solid electrolyte membrane for an all-solid-state battery comprising:

(a) a step of forming a non-woven fabric having a fiber made of a resin;

(b) a step of applying a slurry containing solid electrolyte particles onto the non-woven fabric;

(c) a step of drying the slurry on the non-woven fabric by a heater; and

(d) a step of pressurizing the slurry on the non-woven fabric by a roller,

wherein the step (a) is a step of forming the non-woven fabric by making a resin containing a polar filler fibrous by a laser electrospinning method,

the polar filler containing a polar group that makes the resin finer and more uniform.

2. The method of manufacturing the solid electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polar filler is cellulose.

3. The method of manufacturing the solid electrolyte membrane according to claim 2 ,

wherein the resin is polyethylene or polypropylene.

4. The method of manufacturing the solid electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resin containing the polar filler is formed by kneading the polar filler and a molten resin by an extruder.

5. The method of manufacturing the solid electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polar filler has a fiber length of 0.5 μm to 10 μm.

6. The method of manufacturing the solid electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polar filler has a fiber diameter of 0.001 um to 10 μm.

7. The method of manufacturing the solid electrolyte membrane according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of defibering the polar filler to reduce the polar filler fiber length and diameter.
