Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An energy storage device is provided in which a decrease in power caused by repetitive charge-discharge in a high-temperature environment is suppressed. In the present embodiment, an energy storage device and a method for manufacturing the energy storage device are provided, the energy storage device including an electrode which includes: an active material layer including a particulate active material; and a conductive layer layered on the active material layer and including a conduction aid. An average secondary particle diameter of the active material is 2.5 μm or more and 6.0 μm or less. A surface roughness Ra of the conductive layer on a side on the active material layer is 0.17 μm or more and 0.50 μm or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An energy storage device, comprising: an electrode which includes: an active material layer including a particulate active material; and a conductive layer layered on the active material layer and including a conduction aid, wherein an average secondary particle diameter of the active material is 2.5 μm or more and 6.0 μm or less, wherein a surface roughness Ra of the conductive layer on a side on the active material layer is 0.17 μm or more and 0.50 μm or less, wherein a density of the active material layer is 1.6 g/cm 3 or more and 2.8 g/cm 3 or less, and wherein a mass per unit area of the conductive layer is 0.1 g/m 2 or more and 1.0 g/m 2 or less. 2. The energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer includes the conduction aid in amount of 30% or more and 70% or less. 3. The energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein a particle diameter of the conduction aid is 20 nm or more and 40 nm or less. 4. The energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the active material layer and the conductive layer contain a same solvent. 5. The energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer contains hydroxyalkylchitosan. 6. A method for manufacturing an energy storage device, the method comprising: preparing an electrode by layering an active material layer including a particulate active material and a conductive layer including a conduction aid, wherein an average secondary particle diameter of the active material is 2.5 μm or more and 6.0 μm or less, wherein a surface roughness Ra of the conductive layer on a side on the active material layer is set at 0.17 μm or more and 0.50 μm or less, wherein a density of the active material layer is set at 1.6 g/cm 3 or more and 2.8 g/cm 3 or less, and wherein a mass per unit area of the conductive layer is 0.1 g/m 2 or more and 1.0 g/m 2 or less.
