Abstract

A battery (10) includes a positive electrode (100) and a first insulating layer (322). The positive electrode (100) includes a current collector (110) and a first active material layer (122). The current collector (110) includes a first surface (112) and a second surface (114). The second surface (114) is opposite to the first surface (112). The first active material layer (122) is positioned over the first surface (112) of the current collector (110). The first insulating layer (322) faces the first active material layer (122) of the positive electrode (100). The first active material layer (122) contains at least one carbon. The first insulating layer (322) contains magnesium hydroxide particles. A product of an area density and a specific surface area of the magnesium hydroxide particles is equal to or greater than 0.20 times a sum of products of an area density and a specific surface area of each of the at least one carbon.

First claim

1 . A battery comprising:
a positive electrode comprising a current collector comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a first active material layer positioned over the first surface of the current collector; and a first insulating layer facing the first active material layer of the positive electrode, wherein the first active material layer comprises at least one carbon, the first insulating layer comprises magnesium hydroxide particles, and a product of an area density and a specific surface area of the magnesium hydroxide particles is equal to or greater than 0.20 times a sum of products of an area density and a specific surface area of each of the at least one carbon.

2 . The battery according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a separator facing the positive electrode; and a negative electrode facing the separator from a side opposite to the positive electrode, wherein the separator comprises the first insulating layer, a second insulating layer facing the negative electrode, and a base material positioned between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

3 . The battery according to claim 1 ,
wherein the magnesium hydroxide particles have a specific surface area equal to or greater than 6.1 m 2 /g and equal to or smaller than 8.0 m 2 /g.

4 . The battery according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an electrolyte comprising a sulfonic acid ester, wherein the sulfonic acid ester comprises equal to or greater than 5.0 parts by mass of a sulfonic acid group with respect to 100 parts by mass in total mass of the magnesium hydroxide particles.

5 . The battery according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first insulating layer further comprises aromatic polyamide.
