Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a vanadium solid-salt battery including: a power generating unit including first and second electrode members each containing vanadium, a separator separating the first and second electrode members from each other, and an electrolyte; a first sheet making contact with the first electrode member; a first flat plate-shaped conductive member making surface contact with the first sheet; a second sheet making contact with the second electrode member; a second flat plate-shaped conductive member making surface contact with the second sheet; a third sheet covering the first and second flat plate-shaped conductive members; and a first bonding portion bonding a peripheral portion of the third sheet so that at least portions of the first flat plate-shaped conductive member, the first sheet, the power generating unit, the second sheet and the second flat plate-shaped conductive member are pressure-bonded.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A vanadium solid-salt battery comprising:
a power generating unit including a first electrode member and a second electrode member each of which contains vanadium ion or positive ion including vanadium, a separator which separates the first and second electrode members from each other, and an electrolyte; a first sheet which is conductive and impermeable to the electrolyte and which makes contact with at least a portion of the first electrode member; a first flat plate-shaped conductive member which makes surface contact with the first sheet; a second sheet which is conductive and impermeable to the electrolyte and which makes contact with at least a portion of the second electrode member; a second flat plate-shaped conductive member which makes surface contact with the second sheet; a third sheet which is impermeable to the electrolyte and which covers the first and second flat plate-shaped conductive members; and a first bonding portion which bonds a peripheral portion of the third sheet so that at least portions of the first flat plate-shaped conductive member, the first sheet, the power generating unit, the second sheet and the second flat plate-shaped conductive member are pressure-bonded in a state that the separator is sandwiched between the first and second sheets, wherein the first flat plate-shaped conductive member, the first sheet, the power generating unit, the second sheet and the second flat plate-shaped conductive member are accommodated inside the third sheet.

2 . The vanadium solid-salt battery according to claim 1 , further comprising a second bonding portion which bonds a peripheral portion of the first sheet and a peripheral portion of the second sheet in a state that the separator included in the power generating unit is interposed between the first and second sheets,
wherein the power generating unit is arranged between the first sheet and the second sheet.

3 . The vanadium solid-salt battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first sheet or the second sheet is a conductive film, a sheet-shaped conductive rubber or a graphite sheet.

4 . The vanadium solid-salt battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first flat plate-shaped conductive member or the second flat plate-shaped conductive member is an aluminum plate or a copper plate.
