Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lithium ion secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a positive electrode extending along a first direction; a negative electrode extending along the first direction and disposed opposite to the positive electrode along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; and a separator with a crosslinked structure, extending along the first direction and provided between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator includes an opposite region opposite to the positive electrode and the negative electrode along the second direction, and a surplus region not opposite to the positive electrode and/or the negative electrode along the second direction, and the surplus region has lower porosity than the opposite region.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A lithium ion secondary battery comprising: a positive electrode extending along a first direction; a negative electrode extending along the first direction and disposed opposite to the positive electrode along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; and a separator with a crosslinked structure, extending along the first direction and provided between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, wherein the separator includes an opposite region opposite to the positive electrode and the negative electrode along the second direction, and a surplus region not opposite to the positive electrode and/or the negative electrode along the second direction, and the surplus region has lower porosity than the opposite region. 2 . A method for manufacturing a lithium ion secondary battery including a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode, the method comprising: crosslinking a porous material; forming, by applying heat to the crosslinked porous material, a separator with a crosslinked structure; and stacking sequentially the positive electrode, the separator, and the negative electrode along a second direction so that an end of the separator is not opposite to the positive electrode and/or the negative electrode along the second direction orthogonal to a first direction where the positive electrode extends, wherein a size of the separator with the crosslinked structure in the first direction is larger than a size of the positive electrode and the negative electrode in the first direction. 3 . The method for manufacturing a lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the step of forming the separator includes thermally cutting the crosslinked porous material. 4 . The method for manufacturing a lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the step of forming the separator includes cutting the crosslinked porous material and heating the cut porous material.
