Abstract

An electricity storage device includes an electrode group including a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of second electrodes, and separators that electrically insulate the plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes, an electrolyte, a case having an opening and accommodating the electrode group and the electrolyte, a sealing plate that seals the opening of the case, a first terminal plate including a first external terminal and disposed on a first principal surface side of the sealing plate, a first connection member that electrically connects the plurality of first electrodes and the first terminal plate, and a first gasket that electrically insulates the first terminal plate and the first connection member from the sealing plate.

First claim

1 . An electricity storage device comprising:
an electrode group including a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of second electrodes, and separators that electrically insulate the plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes; an electrolyte; a case having an opening and accommodating the electrode group and the electrolyte; a sealing plate that seals the opening of the case; a first terminal plate including a first external terminal and disposed on a first principal surface side of the sealing plate; a first connection member that electrically connects the plurality of first electrodes and the first terminal plate; and a first gasket that electrically insulates the first terminal plate and the first connection member from the sealing plate, wherein each of the first electrodes includes a sheet-shaped first current collector and a first active material carried on the first current collector, each of the second electrodes includes a sheet-shaped second current collector and a second active material carried on the second current collector, the first electrodes and the second electrodes are alternately stacked with the separators disposed therebetween, the first connection member includes a first lead electrically connected to the plurality of first electrodes and a first rivet electrically connected to the first lead and fixed to the first lead, the sealing plate, the first terminal plate, and the first gasket respectively have a first through-hole, a second through-hole, and a third through-hole which are coaxially arranged and into which the first rivet is inserted, and the first terminal plate and the first gasket are fastened to the sealing plate by the first rivet inserted into the first through-hole, the second through-hole, and the third through-hole.

2 . The electricity storage device according to claim 1 , comprising:
a second terminal plate including a second external terminal and disposed on the first principal surface side of the sealing plate while being insulated from the first terminal plate; a second connection member that electrically connects the plurality of second electrodes and the second terminal plate; and a second gasket that electrically insulates the second terminal plate and the second connection member from the sealing plate, wherein the second connection member includes a second lead electrically connected to the plurality of second electrodes and a second rivet electrically connected to the second lead and fixed to the second lead, the sealing plate, the second terminal plate, and the second gasket respectively have a fourth through-hole, a fifth through-hole, and a sixth through-hole which are coaxially arranged and into which the second rivet is inserted, and the second terminal plate and the second gasket are fastened to the sealing plate by the second rivet inserted into the fourth through-hole, the fifth through-hole, and the sixth through-hole.

3 . The electricity storage device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first rivet includes: a first head portion located on the first principal surface side of the sealing plate; and a first large-diameter portion located on a second principal surface side of the sealing plate, and the sealing plate, the first terminal plate, and the first gasket are sandwiched between the first head portion and the first large-diameter portion.

4 . The electricity storage device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the second rivet includes:
a second head portion located on the first principal surface side of the sealing plate; and
a second large-diameter portion located on a second principal surface side of the sealing plate, and
the sealing plate, the second terminal plate, and the second gasket are sandwiched between the second head portion and the second large-diameter portion.

5 . The electricity storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte contains a salt of a lithium ion and an anion, and
one of the first active material and the second active material is a first material that intercalates and deintercalates the lithium ion, and the other is a second material that adsorbs and desorbs the anion.

6 . The electricity storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte contains a salt of an organic cation and an anion, and one of the first active material and the second active material is a third material that adsorbs and desorbs the organic cation, and the other is a fourth material that adsorbs and desorbs the anion.

7 . The electricity storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte contains a salt of an alkali metal ion and an anion, and both of the first active material and the second active material are materials that intercalate and deintercalate the alkali metal ion.
