Abstract

A an electricity storage device according to the present invention including an electricity storage device packaging material, in the electricity storage device packaging material, from an outer layer thereof, at least an outer layer side resin film layer, an outer layer side adhesive layer, a metal foil layer, an inner layer side adhesive layer, and a heat seal layer being stacked, in which the inner layer side adhesive layer is a layer for bonding the metal foil layer with the heat seal layer, and is a layer obtained by performing a curing process for an adhesive compound including: a polyolefin resin (A) including a carboxyl group or an acid anhydride group; and an epoxy compound (B) including at least two epoxy groups and including at least one of an aromatic amino group and a heterocycle including a nitrogen atom as a heteroatom.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electricity storage device comprising, at least, an electrolyte, an electrode, and an electricity storage device container, wherein: the electricity storage device container comprises an electricity storage device packaging material, in the electricity storage device packaging material, from an outer layer thereof, at least an outer layer side resin film layer, an outer layer side adhesive layer, a metal foil layer, an inner layer side adhesive layer, and a heat seal layer being stacked; the heat seal layer is positioned in an inner surface of the electricity storage device container; parts of the heat seal layers of the electricity storage device packaging material are placed on each other and heat-sealed so that the electrolyte is hermetically encapsulated in the electricity storage device container; a terminal for an external connection extends from the electrode accommodated inside the electricity storage device container to the outside of the electricity storage device container, the terminal being sandwiched between the heat seal layers of the electricity storage device container, and wherein the inner layer side adhesive layer is a layer for bonding the metal foil layer with the heat seal layer, and is a layer obtained by performing a curing process for an adhesive compound comprising: a polyolefin resin (A) including a carboxyl group or an acid anhydride group; and an epoxy compound (B) including at least two epoxy groups and including at least one of an aromatic amino group and a heterocycle including a nitrogen atom as a heteroatom.

2. The electricity storage device according to claim 1 , wherein a weight-average molecular weight of the polyolefin resin (A) is 50,000 to 500,000.

3. The electricity storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin resin (A) is obtained by acidly-modifying a copolymer obtained from 1-butene and another olefin.

4. The electricity storage device according to claim 1 , wherein a value expressed by an expression X+2Y is 0.05 to 0.6, where X milli-moles (mmol) is an amount of the carboxyl group per gram (g) of the polyolefin resin (A) and Y milli-moles (mmol) is an amount of the acid anhydride group per gram of the polyolefin resin (A).

5. The electricity storage device according to claim 4 , wherein a value expressed by an expression Z/[(X+2Y)P] is 0.3 to 10, where P grams (g) is an amount of the polyolefin resin (A) and Z milli-moles (mmol) is an amount of the epoxy group derived from the epoxy compound (B).

6. The electricity storage device according to claim 1 , further comprising a surface treatment layer between the metal foil layer and the inner layer adhesive layer, wherein the surface treatment layer is a layer obtained by performing a curing process for a processing agent including a functional group that reacts with the epoxy group.

7. The electricity storage device according to claim 6 , wherein the functional group included in the processing agent, which reacts with the epoxy group, is at least one type selected from a group consisting of a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, and an amino group.

8. An electricity storage device container accommodating, at least, an electrode and an electrolyte of an electricity storage device, and comprising an electricity storage device packaging material, in the electricity storage device packaging material, from an outer layer thereof, at least an outer layer side resin film layer, an outer layer side adhesive layer, a metal foil layer, an inner layer side adhesive layer, and a heat seal layer being stacked,
wherein the heat seal layer is positioned in an inner surface of the electricity storage device container,
wherein the electricity storage device packaging material is configured so that a sealed space is formed by placing a part of the heat seal layer over another part of the same heat seal layer or over a part of the heat seal layer of another electricity storage device packaging material and thermally fusing these parts together, and
wherein the inner layer side adhesive layer is a layer for bonding the metal foil layer with the heat seal layer, and is a layer obtained by performing a curing process for an adhesive compound comprising: a polyolefin resin (A) including a carboxyl group or an acid anhydride group; and an epoxy compound (B) including at least two epoxy groups and including at least one of an aromatic amino group and a heterocycle including a nitrogen atom as a heteroatom.

9. The electricity storage device container according to claim 8 , further comprising a surface treatment layer between the metal foil layer and the inner layer adhesive layer, wherein the surface treatment layer is a layer obtained by performing a curing process for a processing agent including a functional group that reacts with the epoxy group.

10. The electricity storage device container according to claim 9 , wherein the functional group included in the processing agent, which reacts with the epoxy group, is at least one type selected from a group consisting of a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, and an amino group.

11. An electricity storage device packaging material used for an electricity storage device container that accommodates, at least, an electrode and an electrolyte of an electricity storage device, the electricity storage device packaging material comprising, from an outer layer thereof, at least an outer layer side resin film layer, an outer layer side adhesive layer, a metal foil layer, an inner layer side adhesive layer, and a heat seal layer,
wherein a sealed space is formed by placing a part of the heat seal layer over another part of the same heat seal layer or over a part of the heat seal layer of another electricity storage device packaging material and thermally fusing these parts together, and
wherein the inner layer side adhesive layer is a layer for bonding the metal foil layer with the heat seal layer, and is a layer obtained by performing a curing process for an adhesive compound comprising: a polyolefin resin (A) including a carboxyl group or an acid anhydride group; and an epoxy compound (B) including at least two epoxy groups and including at least one of an aromatic amino group and a heterocycle including a nitrogen atom as a heteroatom.

12. The electricity storage device packaging material according to claim 11 , further comprising a surface treatment layer between the metal foil layer and the inner layer adhesive layer, wherein the surface treatment layer is a layer obtained by performing a curing process for a processing agent including a functional group that reacts with the epoxy group.
