Abstract

A solid-state battery that includes one or more battery constituent units each including a positive electrode layer, a negative electrode layer, and a solid electrolyte layer interposed between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, in which the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer have a central portion and an outer edge portion surrounding the central portion in a plan view of the solid-state battery, and in at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer: 1.05≤(maximum value of film thickness of outer edge portion)/(average film thickness of central portion)<1.34 and (average film thickness of solid electrolyte layer)/(average film thickness of central portion)>0.35.

Claims (22)

1. A solid-state battery comprising:

one or more battery constituent units each including a positive electrode layer, a negative electrode layer, and a solid electrolyte layer interposed between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer,

wherein the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer have a central portion and an outer edge portion surrounding the central portion in a plan view of the solid-state battery, and

wherein, in at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer:

1.05≤(maximum value of film thickness of outer edge portion)/(average film thickness of central portion)<1.34; and

(average film thickness of solid electrolyte layer)/(average film thickness of central portion)>0.35.

2. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein, in the at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer:

(average film thickness of solid electrolyte layer)−{(maximum value of film thickness of outer edge portion)−(average film thickness of central portion)}>0.

3. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein, in both of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer:

1.05≤(maximum value of film thickness of outer edge portion)/(average film thickness of central portion)<1.34.

4. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein, in both of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer:

1.05≤(maximum value of film thickness of outer edge portion)/(average film thickness of central portion)<1.20.

5. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio a/L is in a range of 0.03 to 0.3, wherein L is a length of the at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, and a is a width of the outer edge portion.

6. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio a/L is in a range of 0.1 to 0.3, wherein L is a length of the at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, and a is a width of the outer edge portion.

7. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein, the at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer is the positive electrode layer.

8. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein, the at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer is the negative electrode layer.

9. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein, in the solid electrolyte layer:

0.9≤(average film thickness of solid electrolyte layer)/(average film thickness of central portion)≤1.1.

10. The solid-state battery according to claim 1 , wherein the outer edge portion of the at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer protrudes toward the solid electrolyte layer with respect to the central portion.

11. The solid-state battery according to claim 10 , wherein the outer edge portion of the at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer protrudes opposite to the solid electrolyte layer with respect to the central portion.

12. The solid-state battery according to claim 11 , wherein a ratio a/L is in a range of 0.03 to 0.3, wherein L is a length of the at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, and a is a width of the outer edge portion.

13. The solid-state battery according to claim 11 , wherein a ratio a/L is in a range of 0.1 to 0.3, wherein L is a length of the at least one of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, and a is a width of the outer edge portion.
