Abstract

Provided is a technique that can obtain a wound electrode body simply and conveniently. One aspect of a battery herein disclosed is provided with a wound electrode body in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are wound around in a predetermined winding direction around a winding axis via a separator. The battery includes a first separator and a second separator as the separator; the second separator includes a region positioned outward from an winding terminal edge of the first separator; the second separator includes an extending portion extending beyond a winding terminal edge of the first separator in the winding direction; a second adhesive is existed at least on a part of an inner surface of the extending portion; and the extending portion and a region positioned inward from the extending portion in the second separator are bonded via the second adhesive layer.

First claim

1 . A battery comprising a wound electrode body in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are wound around in a predetermined winding direction around a winding axis via a separator, wherein
the battery includes a first separator and a second separator as the separator; the second separator includes a region positioned outward from a winding terminal edge of the first separator; the second separator includes an extending portion extending beyond the winding terminal edge of the first separator in the winding direction; a second adhesive layer is existed at least on a part of an inner surface of the extending portion; and the extending portion and a region positioned inward from the extending portion in the second separator are bonded via the second adhesive layer.

2 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein no winding terminal stop tape is disposed in the extending portion.

3 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second separator, the second adhesive layer is existed in a region facing the positive electrode, and the second separator and the positive electrode are bonded together with the second adhesive layer, and
in the first separator, a first adhesive layer is existed in a region facing the positive electrode, and the first separator and the positive electrode are bonded together with the first adhesive layer.

4 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein,
the second adhesive layer is not existed, or the second adhesive layer is existed on an outer surface of the second separator positioned on an outermost surface of the wound electrode body, and when the second adhesive layer is existed, the second adhesive layer has a smaller weight per area on the outer surface than in a region facing the positive electrode.

5 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the second adhesive layer on an outer surface of the second separator positioned on the outermost surface of the wound electrode body is 30% or less of an area of the outer surface.

6 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein,
on a surface on a side of the second separator in contact with the positive electrode, the second adhesive layer is not existed or the second adhesive layer is existed in a winding beginning region of the second separator, and when the second adhesive layer is existed, the second adhesive layer has a smaller weight per area in the winding beginning region of the second separator than in a region facing the positive electrode.

7 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein,
on a surface on a side of the first separator in contact with the positive electrode, a first adhesive layer is not existed, or the first adhesive layer is existed in a winding beginning region of the first separator, and when the first adhesive layer is existed, the first adhesive layer has a smaller weight per area in the winding beginning region of the first separator than in a region facing the positive electrode.

8 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein
the wound electrode body has a flat shape; the wound electrode body includes a pair of curved parts in which outer surfaces are curved and a flat part in which an outer surface connecting a pair of the curved parts is flat; a winding terminal edge of the positive electrode is positioned at either of the pair of the curved parts; and a winding terminal edge of the negative electrode is positioned at either of the pair of the curved parts.
