Abstract

A battery having desired characteristics and a method of charging and discharging a battery are provided. A battery according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first electrode layer ( 6 ); a second electrode layer ( 7 ); and a charging layer ( 3 ) including an n-type metal oxide semiconductor and an insulating material, a charge voltage generated between the first electrode layer ( 6 ) and the second electrode layer ( 7 ) being applied to the charging layer ( 3 ). On a surface of the charging layer ( 3 ), a region in which the second electrode layer ( 7 ) is formed is sandwiched between regions in which the second electrode layer ( 7 ) is not formed.

First claim

2 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein in an arbitrary direction on the surface of the charging layer, the region in which the second electrode layer is formed and the region in which the second electrode layer is not formed are alternately arranged.

3 . A battery comprising:
a first electrode layer; a second electrode layer; and a charging layer disposed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, and the charging layer including an n-type metal oxide semiconductor and an insulating material, wherein in an arbitrary direction on a surface of the charging layer, a region in which the second electrode layer is formed and a region in which the second electrode layer is not formed are alternately arranged.

4 . A battery comprising:
a first electrode layer; a second electrode layer; and a charging layer disposed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, and the charging layer including an n-type metal oxide semiconductor and an insulating material, wherein
on a surface of the charging layer, at least a part of a region in which the second electrode layer is formed is disposed between regions in which the second electrode layer is not formed, and
on the surface of the charging layer, at least a part of a region in which the second electrode layer is not formed is disposed between regions in which the second electrode layer is formed.

5 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrode layer is divided into a plurality of patterns.

6 - 7 . (canceled)

8 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein in a planar view through the charging layer, an overlapping region in which a pattern of the first electrode layer and a pattern of the second electrode layer overlap each other and a non-overlapping region in which a pattern of the first electrode layer and a pattern of the second electrode layer do not overlap each other are alternately formed.

9 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the charging layer is charged with power generated by natural energy power generation.
