Abstract

An all-solid battery includes a multilayer structure that includes pairs of positive electrode layers and pairs of negative electrode layers, first solid electrolyte layers, second solid electrolyte layers, and third solid electrolyte layers, the pairs of positive electrode layers and the pairs of negative electrode layers being alternately stacked, each of the first solid electrolyte layers being interposed between each of the pairs of positive electrode layers, each of the second solid electrolyte layers being interposed between each of the pairs of negative electrode layers, each of the third solid electrolyte layers being interposed between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer, wherein a thickness of the third solid electrolyte layer is different from at least one of a thickness of the first electrolyte layer and a thickness of the second electrolyte layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An all-solid battery comprising:
a multilayer structure that includes a plurality of pairs of positive electrode layers, a plurality of pairs of negative electrode layers, first solid electrolyte layers, second solid electrolyte layers, and third solid electrolyte layers, the plurality of pairs of positive electrode layers and the plurality of pairs of negative electrode layers being alternately stacked, each of the first solid electrolyte layers being interposed between each of the pairs of positive electrode layers, each of the second solid electrolyte layers being interposed between each of the pairs of negative electrode layers, each of the third solid electrolyte layers being interposed between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer,
wherein a thickness of the third solid electrolyte layer is different from at least one of a thickness of the first electrolyte layer and a thickness of the second electrolyte layer.

2. The all-solid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the third solid electrolyte layer is thicker than the first solid electrolyte layer and is thicker than the second solid electrolyte layer.

3. The all-solid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first solid electrolyte layer is thicker than the third solid electrolyte layer, and the second solid electrolyte layer is thicker than the third solid electrolyte layer.

4. The all-solid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first solid electrolyte layer is thicker than the second solid electrolyte layer, and is thicker than the third solid electrolyte layer.

5. The all-solid battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second solid electrolyte layer is thicker than the first solid electrolyte layer, and is thicker than the third solid electrolyte layer.

6. The all-solid battery according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of battery structures each being constructed of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer adjacent to each other in a vertical direction and the third solid electrolyte layer interposed between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer adjacent to each other in the vertical direction,
wherein a thickness of the third solid electrolyte layer between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer is equal among the plurality of battery structures.

7. The all-solid battery according to claim 1 , wherein a layer made of a material different from materials of the first to third solid electrolyte layers is interposed between each of the pairs of positive electrode layers, or between each of the pairs of negative electrode layers, or between each of the pairs of positive electrode layers and between each of the pairs of negative electrode layers.

8. A manufacturing method of an all-solid battery comprising:
making a multilayer structure by stacking a pair of first green sheets each having a positive electrode paste applied on a surface thereof, a pair of second green sheets each having a negative electrode paste applied on a surface thereof, and a third green sheet having no conductive paste applied on both surfaces thereof; and
firing the multilayer structure to make the first to third green sheets into solid electrolyte layers, the positive electrode paste into a positive electrode layer, and the negative electrode paste into a negative electrode layer,
wherein the making of the multilayer structure includes alternately stacking the pair of first green sheets and the pair of second green sheets in plural, and arranging the third green sheet so that the third green sheet is interposed at least between the pair of first green sheets, between the pair of second green sheets, or between the first green sheet and the second green sheet.
