Abstract

An all-solid-state thin-film battery according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a solid electrolyte layer; a cathode active material layer; a cathode current collector layer including a first portion and a second portion; an anode terminal layer; and an anode layer including a third portion and a fourth portion. The first contact surface between the solid electrolyte layer and the cathode active material layer, the second contact surface between the solid electrolyte layer and the first portion of the cathode current collector layer, and the third contact surface between the third portion of the anode layer and the anode terminal layer are located within a single plane.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An all-solid-state thin-film battery comprising:
a solid electrolyte layer including a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite the first principal surface;
a cathode active material layer including a third principal surface and a fourth principal surface opposite the third principal surface, the third principal surface being in contact with a first contact surface of the first principal surface of the solid electrolyte layer;
a cathode current collector layer including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being in contact with a second contact surface of the first principal surface of the solid electrolyte layer, the second portion being in contact with the fourth principal surface of the cathode active material layer;
an anode terminal layer spaced from the cathode active material layer and the cathode current collector layer; and
an anode layer including a third portion and a fourth portion, a third contact surface of the third portion being in contact with the anode terminal layer, the fourth portion being in contact with the second principal surface of the solid electrolyte layer,
wherein the first contact surface, the second contact surface and the third contact surface are located within a single plane, and
wherein the solid electrolyte layer has a flat-plate shape.

2. The all-solid-state thin-film battery according to claim 1 , wherein:
the third portion of the anode layer includes an anode active material layer; and
the fourth portion of the anode layer includes an anode current collector layer.

3. The all-solid-state thin-film battery according to claim 1 , further comprising
a protective layer covering at least the solid electrolyte layer and the anode layer, the protective layer being in contact with the anode terminal layer within the single plane.

4. The all-solid-state thin-film battery according to claim 3 , further comprising
a coating layer covering at least the cathode current collector layer and the anode terminal layer, the coating layer being in contact with the protective layer within the single plane.

5. The all-solid-state thin-film battery according to claim 1 , further comprising
a coating layer covering at least the cathode current collector layer and the anode terminal layer, the coating layer being in contact with the solid electrolyte layer within the single plane.

6. The all-solid-state thin-film battery according to claim 3 , wherein
the protective layer includes a step surface and a principal flat surface opposite the step surface, the step surface extending at least along the solid electrolyte layer and the anode layer.

7. The all-solid-state thin-film battery according to claim 4 , wherein
the coating layer includes a step surface and a principal flat surface opposite the step surface, the step surface extending at least along the cathode current collector layer and the anode terminal layer.

8. The all-solid-state thin-film battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cathode current collector layer and the anode terminal layer contain the same material.

9. The all-solid-state thin-film battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cathode current collector is in contact with one of side surfaces of the cathode active material layer.
