Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for inspecting a constituent unit cell to be stacked in an all-solid secondary battery of the present disclosure includes (A) measuring an open-circuit voltage between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of a constituent unit cell before a short-circuiting step is performed, (B) temporarily short-circuiting the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the constituent unit cell, (C) measuring an open-circuit voltage between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the constituent unit cell after a given time has elapsed since the end of step (B), and (D) judging the constituent unit cell to be unusable when the open-circuit voltage measured in step (C) is less than a threshold value. A method for manufacturing an all-solid secondary battery of the present disclosure includes stacking a plurality of constituent unit cells excluding constituent unit cells judged to be unusable by the above inspection method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for inspecting a constituent unit cell to be stacked in an all-solid secondary battery before forming said all-solid secondary battery, comprising: (A) measuring an open-circuit voltage between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of said constituent unit cell before a short-circuiting step is performed, (B) temporarily short-circuiting the positive electrode and the negative electrode of said constituent unit cell, (C) measuring an open-circuit voltage between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of said constituent unit cell after a given time has elapsed since the end of step (B), and (D) judging said constituent unit cell to be unusable when said open-circuit voltage measured in step (C) is less than a threshold value. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte of said all-solid secondary battery is a sulfide solid electrolyte. 3. A method for manufacturing an all-solid secondary battery, comprising stacking a plurality of constituent unit cells excluding constituent unit cells judged to be unusable by the inspection method according to claim 1 . 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the threshold value is based on the open-circuit voltage measured in step (A).
