Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power storage device with high capacity or high energy density is provided. A highly reliable power storage device is provided. A long-life power storage device is provided. An electrode includes an active material, a first binder, and a second binder. The specific surface area of the active material is S [m 2 /g]. The weight of the active material, the weight of the first binder, and the weight of the second binder are a, b, and c, respectively. The solution of {(b+c)/(a+b+c)}×100÷S is 0.3 or more. The electrode includes a first film in contact with the active material. The first film preferably includes a region in contact with the active material. The first film preferably includes a region with a thickness of 2 nm or more and 20 nm or less. The first film contains a water-soluble polymer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electrode comprising: a current collector; an active material; a first film in contact with the active material, the first film containing a first binder and a second binder, and a second film overlapping the active material with the first film interposed therebetween at a first portion of the second film and in contact with the active material at a second portion of the second film, wherein a thickness of the second film at the first portion of the second film is thinner than a thickness of the second film at the second portion of the second film, wherein the first binder is a water-soluble polymer, wherein the second film contains lithium, fluorine, oxygen, and carbon, wherein a specific surface area of the active material is S [m 2 /g], wherein a weight of the active material, a weight of the first binder, and a weight of the second binder are a, b, and c, respectively, and wherein A defined by Mathematical Formula 1 is 0.3 or more. A = b + c a + b + c × 100 ÷ S [ Mathematical ⁢ ⁢ Formula ⁢ ⁢ 1 ] 2. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the first film includes a region with a thickness of 2 nm or more and 20 nm or less. 3. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the active material is in a form of particles, and wherein the specific surface area S of the active material is greater than or equal to 0.2 m 2 /g and less than or equal to 7.0 m 2 /g. 4. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the first binder contains carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, or diacetyl cellulose. 5. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the second binder contains a styrene monomer or a butadiene monomer. 6. The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the active material contains graphite. 7. A power storage device comprising: the electrode according to claim 1 ; and a second electrode, wherein the electrode has a function of operating as one of a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and wherein the second electrode has a function of operating as the other of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. 8. An electronic device comprising the power storage device according to claim 7 and a display device. 9. An electrode comprising: a current collector; an active material; a first film in contact with the active material, the first film containing a first binder and a second binder, and a second film overlapping the active material with the first film interposed therebetween at a first portion of the second film and in contact with the active material at a second portion of the second film, wherein a thickness of the second film at the first portion of the second film is thinner than a thickness of the second film at the second portion of the second film, wherein the first binder is a water-soluble polymer, wherein the second film contains lithium, fluorine, oxygen, and carbon, wherein a specific surface area of the active material is S [m 2 /g], wherein a weight of the active material, a weight of the first binder, and a weight of the second binder are a, b, and c, respectively, and wherein B defined by Mathematical Formula 2 is 0.3 or more. A = b + c a + b + c × 100 ÷ S [ Mathematical ⁢ ⁢ Formula ⁢ ⁢ 1 ] 10. The electrode according to claim 9 , further comprising: wherein the first film includes a region with a thickness of 2 nm or more and 20 nm or less. 11. The electrode according to claim 9 , wherein the active material is in a form of particles, and wherein the specific surface area S of the active material is greater than or equal to 0.2 m 2 /g and less than or equal to 7.0 m 2 /g. 12. The electrode according to claim 9 , wherein the first binder contains carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, or diacetyl cellulose. 13. The electrode according to claim 9 , wherein the second binder contains a styrene monomer or a butadiene monomer. 14. The electrode according to claim 9 , wherein the active material contains graphite. 15. A power storage device comprising: the electrode according to claim 9 ; and a second electrode, wherein the electrode has a function of operating as one of a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and wherein the second electrode has a function of operating as the other of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. 16. An electronic device comprising the power storage device according to claim 15 and a display device. 17. An electrode comprising: an active material; a first film in contact with the active material, the first film containing a first binder and a second binder, and a second film overlapping the active material with the first film interposed therebetween at a first portion of the second film and in contact with the active material at a second portion of the second film, wherein a thickness of the second film at the first portion of the second film is thinner than a thickness of the second film at the s
