Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a technology capable of improving the impregnation efficiency of an electrolyte into an electrode body. In accordance with a preferable one embodiment of a method for manufacturing a secondary battery herein disclosed, a method for manufacturing a secondary battery including an electrode body, an electrolyte, and a battery case is provided. The manufacturing method includes a solution introducing step of introducing the electrolyte into the battery case, and a pressure reducing step of reducing the pressure in the battery case after the solution introducing step. After an elapse of 10 hours or more after the solution introducing step, the pressure reducing step is carried out.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a secondary battery, the secondary battery comprising an electrode body comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator arranged between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, an electrolyte, and a battery case for accommodating the electrode body and the electrolyte, the method comprising a solution introducing step of introducing the electrolyte into the battery case, and a pressure reducing step of reducing a pressure in the battery case after the solution introducing step, wherein after an elapse of 10 hours or more after the solution introducing step, the pressure reducing step is carried out. 2. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 wherein the electrode body is a wound electrode body obtained by winding the positive electrode sheet in a band shape and the negative electrode sheet in a band shape via the separator in a band shape. 3. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode current collecting foil, and a positive electrode active material layer provided on the positive electrode current collecting foil, and a width of the positive electrode active material layer in a transverse direction of the positive electrode sheet is 20 cm or more. 4. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein adhesion layers are provided on both surfaces of the separator, and the adhesion layer bonds the positive electrode sheet and the separator, and bonds the negative electrode sheet and the separator. 5. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , comprising, reducing a pressure in the battery case down to 5 kPa or less in terms of absolute pressure, before the solution introducing step. 6. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein at the pressure reducing step after the solution introducing step, an inside of the battery case is reduced in pressure down to 5 kPa to 50 kPa in terms of absolute pressure.
