Abstract

Provided is an electric storage device provided with: a positive electrode including a positive electrode substrate and a positive electrode mixture layer, the positive electrode mixture layer being formed on the positive electrode substrate and containing a positive electrode active material; a negative electrode including a negative electrode substrate and a negative electrode mixture layer, the negative electrode mixture layer being formed on the negative electrode substrate and containing a negative electrode active material; and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. In the electric storage device, the separator yields a triple value of standard deviation of local air resistance, as measured within a 5-mm diameter circle, of at least 20 seconds/10 cc but not more than 350 seconds/10 cc.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electric storage device comprising:
a positive electrode including a positive electrode substrate and a positive electrode mixture layer, the positive electrode mixture layer being formed on the positive electrode substrate and containing a positive electrode active material;
a negative electrode including a negative electrode substrate and a negative electrode mixture layer, the negative electrode mixture layer being formed on the negative electrode substrate and containing a negative electrode active material; and
a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, wherein
the separator yields a triple value of standard deviation of local air resistance of at least 20 seconds/10 cc but not more than 350 seconds/10 cc, the triple value of standard deviation of the local air resistance being calculated from measured values of a time period required for a 10 cc air to pass through an air orifice having a diameter of 5 mm at 16 sampling points in accordance with JIS P8117 with a Gurley-type densometer, the sampling points spaced at 15 mm or more from one another in a MD direction in which a raw material of the separator is conveyed to be formed into a sheet, the sampling points further being equally spaced 4 points in a TD direction perpendicular to the MD direction along a surface of the sheet wherein an air resistance is the time required for a gas with specific volume to permeate an object measured in units second/cc.

2. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the separator has the air resistance of at least 30 seconds/100 cc but not more than 130 seconds/100 cc.

3. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein
the separator has a thickness of at least 15 μm but not more than 24 μm.

4. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein
the negative electrode active material contains hard carbon.

5. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein
the separator comprises: a sheet substrate containing a resin; and an inorganic layer having a higher content of inorganic particles than the substrate, and
the inorganic layer is disposed on at least one surface side of the substrate.

6. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein
the negative electrode active material has a D50-particle size of at least 2 μm but less than 8 μm.

7. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein
a ratio of a D90-particle size of the negative electrode active material with respect to a thickness of the negative electrode mixture layer is at least 0.1 but not more than 0.5.

8. The electric storage device according to claim 1 , wherein
the triple value of standard deviation of the local air resistance is at least 50 seconds/10 cc but not more than 350 seconds/10 cc,
the separator has the air resistance of at least 30 seconds/100 cc but not more than 130 seconds/100 cc,
the separator has a thickness of at least 15 μm but not more than 24 μm,
the negative electrode active material is hard carbon,
the negative electrode active material has a D50-particle size of at least 2 μm but less than 8 μm, and
a ratio of a D90-particle size of the negative electrode active material with respect to a thickness of the negative electrode mixture layer is at least 0.1 but not more than 0.5.

9. A vehicle mounted electric storage system comprising:
the electric storage device according to claim 1 ; and
a control unit that controls charge and discharge of the electric storage device.
