Abstract

Provided is a separator incorporating an electrode, provided with two of separator sheets facing each other, an electrode sandwiched between the separator plates. Each of the facing surfaces of the separator sheets is provided with a coated portion coated with a ceramic, and a non-coated portion that is not coated with the ceramic, located in at least a portion of ranges corresponding to peripheral edges of the electrode. The separator sheets are joined to one another in the non-coated portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electrode-incorporating separator having two separator sheets facing each other and an electrode held between the two separator sheets, wherein
facing surfaces of the two separator sheets each include a coated portion coated with a ceramic and a non-coated portion that is not coated with the ceramic and is arranged in at least a portion of a range corresponding to a periphery of the electrode,
the two separator sheets are joined to each other at the non-coated portions,
each of the separator sheets has a rectangular shape,
the electrode has a tab that protrudes outward from a periphery of the electrode,
the non-coated portion is formed along one side of the separator sheet and the other side of the separator sheet, the one side of the separator sheet corresponds to a side from which the tab of the electrode protrudes, and the other side of the separator sheet faces the one side of the separator sheet, and
a joint portion at which the two separator sheets are joined is located at opposite sides of the tab.

2. The electrode-incorporating separator according to claim 1 , wherein, in at least one of the two separator sheets, at least a portion of a surface opposite to the surface facing the electrode is coated with the ceramic.

3. The electrode-incorporating separator according to claim 1 , wherein each non-coated portion is formed along a side of the associated separator sheet along the entire length of the side.

4. The electrode-incorporating separator according to claim 1 , wherein
the tab extends on a plane coinciding with a surface of the electrode, and
the tab is held between the non-coated portions of the two separator sheets.

5. The electrode-incorporating separator according to claim 1 , wherein the electrode is a positive electrode.

6. An electrical storage device having the electrode-incorporating separator according to claim 1 .

7. The electrical storage device according to claim 6 , wherein the electrical storage device is a secondary battery.

8. A vehicle wherein the secondary battery according to claim 7 is mounted thereon.
