Abstract

A regeneration method of an all-solid-state battery includes a step of preparing an all-solid-state battery having a cathode that does not contain copper, and a step of executing overdischarge control of the all-solid-state battery. The overdischarge control is control of mitigating reaction variance that is variance in electrode reaction due to charging and discharging of the all-solid-state battery, by discharging the all-solid-state battery until a potential of the cathode becomes lower than an elution potential of copper.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A regeneration method of an all-solid-state battery, the regeneration method comprising:
a step of preparing the all-solid-state battery including a cathode that does not contain copper; and a step of executing overdischarge control of the all-solid-state battery, wherein the overdischarge control is control of mitigating reaction variance that is variance in electrode reaction due to charging and discharging of the all-solid-state battery, by discharging the all-solid-state battery until a potential of the cathode becomes lower than an elution potential of copper.

2 . The regeneration method according to claim 1 , wherein the overdischarge control is control in which discharging of the all-solid-state battery is performed until elapsed time after the potential of the cathode becomes lower than the elution potential of copper exceeds a predetermined amount of time.

3 . The regeneration method according to claim 1 , wherein the overdischarge control is control in which discharging of the all-solid-state battery is performed until the potential of the cathode reaches a predetermined potential that is lower than the elution potential of copper and higher than an elution potential of nickel.

4 . The regeneration method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of executing of the overdischarge control includes executing the overdischarge control at a time of recovery or replacement of the all-solid-state battery.

5 . The regeneration method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of executing of the overdischarge control includes executing the overdischarge control when standby time until a charging start time of the all-solid-state battery in timer charging of the all-solid-state battery is longer than a reference time.

6 . The regeneration method according to claim 1 , wherein the cathode contains a cathode active material with a type-II silicon clathrate crystal phase.

7 . An all-solid-state battery system for regenerating an all-solid-state battery including a cathode that does not contain copper, the all-solid-state battery system comprising:
a power conversion device configured to discharge the all-solid-state battery; and a control device configured to control the power conversion device, wherein the control device is configured to mitigate reaction variance that is variance in electrode reaction due to charging and discharging of the all-solid-state battery, by controlling the power conversion device to discharge the all-solid-state battery until a potential of the cathode becomes lower than an elution potential of copper.
