Firstly, positive electrode active materials or negative electrode active material are deposited on scheduled substrate to form the first active material layer.Then, on first active material layer deposition solid electrolyte to form solid electrolyte layer.Then, second active material layer different from first active material layer is deposited on the solid electrolyte layer (i.e. if the first active material layer is anode active material layer, the second active material layer is anode active material layer).In this way, formation includes first group of the combination being made of the first active material layer, solid electrolyte layer and the second active material layer.At this point, first laminated body preferably comprises a kind of combination or two or more combinations of stacking.When including two kinds or more kinds of combinations, these combinations are laminated in the case where being preferably inserted into solid electrolyte layer therebetween.
It can implement the deposition of active material and solid electrolyte by sputtering.
In step (B), preferably 500-900 DEG C at a temperature of heat treatment for solid electrolyte layer and two layers of active material layer crystallize.If the temperature is lower than 500 DEG C, crystallization be may become difficult.
If it is higher than 900 DEG C, the phase counterdiffusion of active material and solid electrolyte may be reinforced.
Furthermore it is possible to which all solid lithium secondary battery of the invention is mounted in sealable metal-back.It in the case, such as can be by being open with sealing plate and washer sealing come sealing metal shell.
Furthermore it is possible to cover all solid lithium secondary battery of the invention with resin.It can apply and resin moulded with resin cover entire battery.
Furthermore, it is possible to which all solid lithium secondary battery surface is made to receive water-proofing treatment.For example, this water-proofing treatment can be implemented by the way that above-mentioned laminated body to be immersed in the dispersion liquid of waterproof material such as silane or fluorocarbon resin.
It can be before with resin covering to the surface applied water-proofing treatment of all solid lithium secondary battery of the invention.
Furthermore it is possible to which the surface to all solid lithium secondary battery of the invention provides glassy layer such as glaze layer.For example, including the slurry of low-melting glass by application and being heat-treated at a predetermined temperature, all solid lithium secondary battery of the invention can be sealed with glassy layer.
As described above, the influence for the moisture for including in atmosphere gas, such as the internal short-circuit due to caused by the reaction between collector metal and water can be eliminated by preventing all solid lithium secondary battery from contacting with atmosphere.
In the preparation method of all solid lithium secondary battery, such as due to the heat treatment (sintering) in air (oxidizing atmosphere), is decomposed by oxidisability and be easy to remove no-bonder and plasticizer.But in the case, only noble metal, such as palladium, gold or platinum may be used as the material of collector.
In the present invention, at least one of negative electrode collector for including in the positive electrode collector and cathode for including in anode can be by relatively inexpensive metal material, such as silver, copper or nickel composition.In the case, second of phosphate cpd of solid electrolyte layer is preferably by Li1+xMIIIxTiIV2-X(PO4)3The phosphate cpd of representative, wherein MIIIIt is to be selected from least one of Al, Y, Ga, In and La metal ion and 0≤x≤0.6, and second of phosphate cpd is preferably used as negative electrode active material.
In the case where using metal material easy to oxidize such as silver, copper or nickel, need to be heat-treated (sintering) in the atmosphere with low oxygen partial pressure.On the other hand, the third phosphate cpd (negative electrode active material), such as FePO4、Li3Fe2(PO4)3Or the LiFeP comprising Fe (II1)2O7And stable sintering Fe (II1) needs higher partial pressure of oxygen (such as 10-11Atmosphere (700 DEG C)).That is, the negative electrode active material comprising Fe (II1) cannot be used in some cases when using the metal material of such as silver, copper or nickel as current collector material.In the case, when by using the phosphate cpd such as solid electrolyte without Fe (II1) as negative electrode active material, the collector made of such as metal material of silver, copper or nickel can be used.
But under conditions of this low oxygen partial pressure, the carbonization of binder and plasticizer usually occurs, to interfere the sintering and densification of active material, solid electrolyte and current collector material.In addition, if the carbon generated is conductive, the self-discharge characteristics of gained battery be may deteriorate.Additionally, it is possible to which internal short-circuit occurs.
In addition, when be formed anode active material layer by general formula LiMPO4When the first phosphate cpd represented includes at least Fe, sintering causes to generate such as Li in anode active material layer in the oxidizing atmosphere of such as air3Fe2(PO4)3Fe (III) compound, so that the charging/discharging capacity of battery and internal resistance can increase.If in such as Ar or N2Non-oxidizing atmosphere in be sintered to prevent Fe (III), the carbonization of above-mentioned binder and plasticizer occurs, this can generate various detrimental effects to battery.
When collector is made of such as metal material of copper, silver or nickel, it is sintered in the atmosphere gas of the gas comprising steam and with low oxygen partial pressure preferred to avoiding being carbonized.In this atmosphere, because promoting the thermal decomposition of organic substance, it is possible to except no-bonder and plasticizer inhibit the generation of carbon simultaneously.As a result, positive electrode active materials, negative electrode active material and solid electrolyte can be densely sintered.Therefore, the charge/discharge characteristics and reliability of battery can be improved.
In addition, can remove binder and plasticizer when positive electrode active materials include Fe while inhibiting the generation of Fe (III) and the generation of carbon.
Illustrate an example of the preparation method of all solid lithium secondary battery below.In the preparation method, positive electrode active materials green sheet is prepared using slurry 1, and prepare solid electrolyte green sheet using slurry 2.Then, formation includes the second green sheet group of at least one combination being made of the positive electrode active materials green sheet and solid electrolyte green sheet.Then, the second green sheet group is heat-treated to obtain the laminated body of at least one entire combination including anode active material layer and solid electrolyte layer.In preparing the second green sheet group, the combination is prepared by using at least two panels positive electrode active materials green sheet and at least two panels solid electrolyte green sheet.It is inserted into positive electrode collector between at least two panels positive electrode active materials green sheet, while being inserted into negative electrode collector between at least two panels solid electrolyte green sheet.Solid electrolyte is used as negative electrode active material, and at least one positive electrode collector and negative electrode collector are selected from silver, copper and mickel.In addition, being heat-treated in the atmosphere gas of the gas comprising steam and with low oxygen partial pressure.
In addition, when using the LiMPO including at least Fe4(such as LiFePO4) when being used as positive electrode active materials, the oxidation number for the Fe for including in positive electrode active materials is divalent.It is preferred that being sintered in divalent Fe stable condition.Therefore, it is sintered oxygen balance contained in (heat treatment) atmosphere and divides PO2It is preferred that in the range of being represented by following formula (1):
-0.0310T+3.5≤-log10PO2≤-0.0300T+38.1。
If partial pressure of oxygen is greater than the range represented by formula (1), Fe may be oxidized or collector may be oxidized.On the other hand, if partial pressure of oxygen is less than the range represented by formula (1), inhibit the generation of carbon that may become difficult.
In addition, sintering atmosphere preferably comprises at least the mixed gas containing the gas that can discharge oxygen and the gas reacted with oxygen in order to stably keep partial pressure of oxygen within the above range.One example of this mixed gas is the mixed gas comprising carbon dioxide gas, hydrogen and nitrogen.It is, for example, possible to use carbon dioxide gas as can discharge the gas of oxygen, and hydrogen can be used as the gas reacted with oxygen.When mixed gas includes hydrogen, in order to which the volume of safety hydrogen wherein included is preferably no greater than 4%, that is, it is lower than the hydrogen explosion limit.
When using the gas by this gas composition, since balanced reaction can steadily maintain the partial pressure of oxygen of sintering atmosphere constant therebetween in sintering (heat treatment).
In the preparation of first laminated body, when active material includes Fe etc., the partial pressure of oxygen of atmosphere gas is further preferably adjusted.
In addition, in the case where sintering includes the laminated body of the collector made of such as metal material of silver, copper, nickel or cobalt, or in the case where sintering includes the laminated body of the active material containing Fe etc., atmosphere gas preferably has less than this material oxidation-reduction equilibrium oxygen partial pres-sure partial pressure of oxygen.This atmosphere gas can be comprising carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and hydrogen (H2) mixed gas.When use includes CO2And H2Mixed gas when, it is low for can maintaining the partial pressure of oxygen of mixed gas.
According to the metal material of collector, change the CO for including in mixed gas as one sees fit2And H2Mixed proportion.For example, CO in mixed gas2And H2Between volume ratio be preferably 10-8 × 103:1.If the volume ratio of carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen less than 10, is decomposed binder and be may become difficult.If the volume ratio of carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen is greater than 8 × 103, collector may be oxidized.
When collector is made of copper, CO in atmosphere gas2And H2Between volume ratio such as can be 103∶1。
When collector is made of cobalt, CO in atmosphere gas2And H2Between volume ratio such as can be 10: 1.
When collector is made of nickel, CO in atmosphere gas2And H2Between volume ratio such as can be 40: 1.When collector is made of nickel, CO2And H2Between volume ratio be preferably 10-50: 1.
The hydrogen volume for including in mixed gas is preferably 4% or lower.Reason is same as described above.
As described above, for example when anode active material layer includes by general formula LiMPO4When the first phosphate cpd and the first described phosphate cpd represented includes at least Fe, further preferably use comprising CO2And H2Mixed gas as roasting atmosphere gas.CO2And H2Between volume ratio be preferably 10-104:1.If the ratio of carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen less than 10, is decomposed binder and be may become difficult.If the volume ratio of carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen is greater than 10’4, positive electrode active materials may decompose.

Embodiment 1-2
Following battery and comparative cell are prepared, and is charged and discharged under predetermined circumstances, to obtain their discharge capacity.
(battery 1)
Firstly, preparation is by Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3The solid electrolyte powder of representative and by LiCoPO4The positive electrode active material powder of representative.Mix solid electrolyte powder with polyvinyl butyral resin, the n-butyl acetate as solvent and the dibutyl phthalate as plasticizer for being used as binder, and mixture is mixed together 24 hours with zirconia balls in ball milling, prepares the slurry for being used to form solid electrolyte layer.
The slurry for being used to form anode active material layer is prepared according further to mode identical with solid electrolyte layer slurry.
Then, solid electrolyte layer slurry is administered on the film carrier 1 being mainly made of polyester resin using scraper.Then, the slurry of dry application, obtains solid electrolytegreen sheet 2 as shown in Figure 20 (thickness: 25 μm).It should be understood that the surface of film carrier 1 has the releasing agent layer being mainly made of Si.
In addition, preparing identical mode according to solid electrolyte green sheet, positive electrode active materials green sheet 4 (thickness: 4 μm) is formed onfilm carrier 3 as shown in Figure 21.
Then, thepolyester film 6 of adhesive is fixed oncarrier 5 two sides application.Then, as shown in Figure 22, the face for the solid electrolyte green sheet not contacted with film carrier 1 is placed onpolyester film 6.
Then, applying 80kg/cm from upper direction film carrier 12Pressure and 70 DEG C of heating under, remove film carrier from film carrier 1 and solid electrolytegreen sheet 2, as shown in Figure 23.
The solid electrolyte green sheet 2 ' prepared on another film carrier 1 ' in same manner described above is placed in solid electrolyte green sheet 2.Then, by applying pressure and heating from upper direction film carrier 1 ',green sheet 2 and 2 ' is bonded together and removing film carrier 1 ' from green sheet 2 '.
By repeating thisoperation 20 times, solid electrolyte green sheet group 7 (thickness: 500 μm) is produced.
Then, the positive electrode active materials green sheet 4 formed onfilm carrier 3 in the manner described above is placed in thegreen sheet group 7 so obtained.Then, by applying 80kg/cm from upperdirection film carrier 32Pressure and 70 DEG C of heating, from green sheet 4 remove film carrier 3.In this way, as shown in Figure 24, preparing the laminated body (thickness: about 500 μm) ofgreen sheet group 7 and positive electrode active materials green sheet 4.This laminated body is removed frompolyester film 6 and is cut into the size of 7mm (width) × 7mm (length) × about 500 μm (thickness), obtainsgreen part 8.
Then, as shown in Figure 25, thegreen part 8 that two panels so obtains is combined.At this point, thesolid electrolyte face 9 ofgreen part 8 is in contact with each other, thegreen part 8 be located at positive electrode active materials green sheet 4 back on side, so that active material green sheet 4 is outside.
Then, make them fully absorb Li to prepare twopanels ceramic wafer 10 by roasting in Li atmosphere.A pair of of green sheet is clipped betweenceramic wafer 10, so that they are contacted with active material green sheet 4.
During sintering because Li be it is volatile, Li may volatilize from green sheet.The ceramic wafer that Li has been fully absorbed by using these is inhibited Li to volatilize from green sheet therebetween and inhibits the formation of impurity layer in sintering.
Then, they are heated to 400 DEG C with the rate of heat addition of 400 DEG C/h in air and are maintained 5 hours at 400 DEG C, so that organic substance such as binder and plasticizer are sufficiently decomposed due to heat.Then, they are heated to 900 DEG C with the rate of heat addition of 400 DEG C/h and room temperature is rapidly cooled to the cooling velocity of 400 DEG C/h.In this way, sintering green part.
The filling rate of the green part of sintering can for example determine as follows.
Firstly, the weight for the active material layer for including in the weight and active material layer of the solid electrolyte for including in acquisition solid electrolyte layer.Specifically, for example determining Co content that the active material green sheet of Ti content or per unit area predetermined thickness that the solid electrolyte layer green sheet of per unit area predetermined thickness includes includes by icp analysis.From resulting Ti and Co content, the Li of per unit area solid electrolyte layer green sheet can be determined1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3The LiCoPO of weight and active material green sheet4Weight.
Then, the solid electrolyte layer of the green part (chip) of sintering and the volume of active material layer are obtained.Because the green part of sintering is prism-shaped (prismatic), such as shown in figure 24, it is possible to determine every layer of volume from the area of their bottoms and every layer of thickness.By multiple sections with the measurements such as scanning electron microscope (SEM) such as green part, such as scheduled five sections, and average value is obtained as every layer of thickness, can obtain every layer of thickness.
The volume of the weight for the active material for including from active material layer and such resulting active material layer, can obtain the apparent density ((weight for the active material for including in active material layer)/(volume of the active material layer of sintering)) of active material layer.This is applied equally to solid electrolyte layer.
As described above, filling rate is the ratio of the apparent density of active material layer and the real density of active material in the case where active material layer, it is expressed as a percentage.Therefore, when using real density of the X-ray density of active material as active material, filling rate can be obtained from following formula:
{ [(weight for the active material for including in active material layer)/(volume of the active material layer of sintering)]/(the X-ray density of active material) } × 100.
Furthermore it is possible to obtain the filling rate of solid electrolyte layer according to method same as above.
Further, it is also possible to make in the following method.By with active material layer and solid electrolyte layer is prepared separately in active material layer of the sintering comprising predetermined amount active material and the solid electrolyte layer comprising predetermined amount solid electrolyte under identical sintering condition in preparation laminated body.Every layer of filling rate so obtaining is determined from the equations above, and uses resulting value as every layer of laminated body of filling rate.
In the present embodiment, because active material layer is compared with solid electrolyte layer be it is sufficiently thin, it is assumed that sintering green part only by Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3Its filling rate is determined in the case where composition.As a result, filling rate is about 83%.The following filling rate for determining green part: [{ (green part weight)/(green part volume) }/(the X-ray density of solid electrolyte)] × 100.
The filling rate of active material can be speculated for almost 100% from such as SEM image.
In addition, checking anode active material layer with the polishing section of the green part of SEM observation sintering.Observation confirms that anode active material layer is densely sintered with about 1 μm of thickness and anode active material layer, almost without hole.
It should be understood that two panels green part is not bonded together by sintering although being sintered a pair of of green part.

The initial discharge capacity of battery 17-20 is about 20 μ Ah and almost equal.Under high humidity conditions after storage in 30 days,battery 17 cannot discharge, and battery 19 shows capacity decline.The discharge capacity of battery 18 andbattery 20 and their initial discharge capacity are of equal value after storage.
In the case wherebattery 17, when storage is exposed in wet atmosphere therebetween, liquid moisture film (i.e. laminated body surface) is formed on battery surface.Collector Ag may be made to ionize, and Ag Ion transfer causes short circuit due to the formation of liquid moisture film, cannot discharged so as to cause after storage in 30 days.
In the case where battery 19, capacity occurs as described above to be reduced, although it does not have inbattery 17 greatly.Because undesirable air-tightness only can only be provided with resin mold, moisture enters in resin.It may be because this reason, ionize collector Ag, and Ag Ion transfer causes minute short circuit, so as to cause capacity reduction.
On the other hand, in the case where battery 18 andbattery 20, or even after they are stored 30 days in moist conditions, their discharge capacity is maintained.Therefore, the result of battery 18 confirms that humid air can be blocked using the container with good air-tightness, and the result ofbattery 20 confirms to prevent to battery (laminated body) surface applied waterproof material and forms liquid film on battery surface.
As described above, when battery (laminated body) is mounted in the container with high-air-tightness or when with waterproof material treatment of battery (laminated body) surface, improves the processing of battery and the influence of the humidity of environmental gas can be reduced.

For battery 30-34 andbattery 40 and reference battery 35-39, it is assumed that the sintered body only by Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3In the case where composition, according to the filling rate for determining every body sintered body with identical mode in embodiment 1-2.Table 10 shows result.In addition, table 10 shows the additive amount and-log of the type of the first atmosphere, steam10PO2Value.

Battery 30-34 shows about 80% preferable filling rate, unrelated with the amount ofsteam.Battery 40 also shows 85% preferable filling rate.
On the other hand,reference battery 35 andreference battery 39 show the filling rate lower than 60%, this shows almost without sintering.The sintered body of these reference batteries is all black.This shows that in these reference batteries, binder and plasticizer due to thermal decomposition carbonization and therefore hinder the sintering of green sheet.
In the case wherereference battery 39, because of the H at 700 DEG C2/H2The equilibrium partial pressure of oxygen is about 10 in the atmosphere gas of O=7/3-22Atmospheric pressure, this is low-down, so generated carbon can retain.
In addition, thesereference batteries 35 and 39 are crisp, therefore ruptured during the processing when applying outer collector.
In battery 30-34 andbattery 40, their sintered body is almost white.In atmosphere gas as shown in table 10, the equilibrium oxygen partial pres-sure at 700 DEG C is estimated as about 10-16Atmospheric pressure.In the case, it may be reduced due to steam molecule amount, binder and plasticizer are discharged rapidly from system and eliminate by-product carbon by very small amount of oxygen, to be sintered progress.
In addition, although their filling rate is slightly poorer than battery 30-34 andbattery 40, their sintered body is almost also white in reference battery 36-38.
Next, being to be charged and discharged battery 30-34 andbattery 40 in -50 DEG C of atmosphere and 25 DEG C of environment temperature with the current value of 10 μ A and reference battery 36-38 is primary in dew point.Wherein, 2.0V is set by upper blanking voltage and set 0V for lower blanking voltage.In addition, being in the same manner charged and dischargedbattery 40 other than setting 5.0V for upper blanking voltage and setting 0V for lower blanking voltage.The discharge capacity obtained according to the above method is shown as initial discharge capacity in table 11.
Table 11

Battery 30-34 shows the initial discharge capacity greater than 6 μ Ah.In addition,battery 40 shows the initial discharge capacity of 2.8 μ Ah.On the other hand, the charge/discharge of reference battery 36-38 is nearly impossible.Especially inreference battery 36, because being roasted in air atmosphere, LiFePO4It is transformed into such as Li3Fe2(PO4)3Fe (III) compound and current collector material Cu be oxidized and cannot act as collector.It may be because this reason, charge/discharge is impossible.
On the other hand, in the atmosphere gas for being used to prepare reference battery 37-38, equilibrium oxygen partial pres-sure is estimated as about 10 at 700 DEG C-7Atmospheric pressure.Therefore, LiFePO4It is transformed into such as Li3Fe2(PO4)3Fe (III) compound, and may be because this reason, electric discharge is nearly impossible.
It is 10 from the equilibrium oxygen partial pres-sure at 700 DEG C that above-mentioned formula (1) calculates-17.1Atmosphere is depressed into 10-11.8Atmospheric pressure.It can be seen that in equilibrium oxygen partial pres-sure battery 30-34 within this range, it is suppressed that the oxidation of collector and active material Fe (II) arrive the oxidation of Fe (III), and eliminate binder by oxygen and carbon that plasticizer thermal decomposition generates.Therefore it is believed that can produce all solid lithium secondary battery with good charging/discharging capacity by suitably adjusting partial pressure of oxygen.
In addition, preferably low oxygen partial pressure gas includes the gas such as CO that can discharge oxygen in order to make the partial pressure for the oxygen for including in low oxygen partial pressure gas atmosphere remain constant2With the gas such as H reacted with oxygen2Mixture.

In comparative cell 2-1 into 2-3, their discharge capacity is 0.In addition, their impedance is very high in comparative cell 2-1 into 2-3.This may be because the sintering of solid electrolyte does not carry out and therefore lithium ion conductivity is very small.Especially in the case where comparative cell 2-2, the impedance after charge/discharge (is not less than 10 beyond measurement range7Ω).This may be because solid electrolyte cannot bear high temperature and be denaturalized, so that lithium ion conductivity is lost.

The discharge capacity of battery 2-13 and impedance are equal with the discharge capacity of battery 2-2 and impedance.
On the other hand, common sintering aid Al is being used2O3Comparing embodiment 2-5 in the case where, discharge capacity is 0.This may be because the sintering of laminated body does not carry out in sintering.I.e., it is believed that using Al2O3System in, Al2O3With solid electrolyte Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3Reaction, generates impurity phase in solid electrolyte layer, bad so as to cause being sintered.
In addition, discharge capacity is also 0 in the case where being added to the comparative cell 2-6 for the amorphous oxide that softening point is 600 DEG C.This may be because the diffusion of active material and solid electrolyte is unable to charge/discharge as sintering reaction carries out together.
In the case where being added to the comparative cell 2-7 for the amorphous oxide that softening point is 1020 DEG C, discharge capacity is also 0.This may be to be unable to acceleration of sintering because the softening point of additive is too high.
The above results show that by adding softening point at least one anode active material layer, solid electrolyte layer and anode active material layer be 700 DEG C or higher and 950 DEG C or lower amorphous oxide, can produce the all-solid-state battery with good charge/discharge capabilities.

For example, determining the porosity of positive electrode collector layer and negative electrode collector layer as follows.
Obtain the weight of palladium in per unit area positive electrode collector green sheet or negative electrode collector green sheet.When sintering, collector green sheet is shunk.The weight of per unit area palladium is calculated from the weight of the palladium of per unit area green sheet after contraction.Then, with the apparent thickness of the collector of SEM observation sintering.In this way, the volume of current collector layer and the amount of palladium wherein included can be determined.Using these values, the porosity of current collector layer can be determined.In the following embodiments, porosity is determined in this manner.

It is that it is primary that 10 battery units (cell) are charged and discharged with the constant current value of 10 μ A in -50 DEG C of atmosphere and 25 DEG C of environment temperature in dew point for battery 3-1 to 3-5.Upper blanking voltage is 2.2V and lower blanking voltage is 1.0V.

Battery 3-1 to 3-3 can be charged and discharged.Battery 3-4 and 3-5 can be also charged and discharged.The initial discharge capacity of battery 3-5 is less than other batteries.It should be understood that battery capacity can be improved by the quantity for increasing layer laminate body.
In battery 3-4, four units show rupture or leafing.These units cannot provide enough discharge capacities.
In battery 3-1 into 3-3, collector porosity is 20-60%, and it is believed that this porosity has the function of absorbing active material volume change due to caused by charge/discharge.In comparison, in the battery 3-4 that collector porosity is 15%, probably due to the volume change of active material caused by cannot absorbing due to absorbing and releasing lithium ion, the quantity for rupturing battery increases.
In addition, there is no cell fractures, but capacity drops to about 60-70% in the battery 3-5 that collector porosity is 70%.This capacity decline may be due to caused by the deterioration of collector collection properties of flow.Therefore, the porosity of positive electrode collector layer and negative electrode collector layer is preferably 20-60%.
Above the result shows that, when setting 20-60% for current collector layer porosity, it can inhibit the rupture derived from active material expansion and the leafing and stratotype all-solid-state battery shunk during charge/discharge, and therefore generate the stratotype all solid lithium secondary battery of specific height reliability.

For each battery of battery 3-18 to 3-21 and comparative cell 3-1,10 units of constant-current charge and electric discharge under condition identical with battery 3-11 (the upper blanking voltage of 2.5V and 1.0V under blanking voltage).Table 19 shows the quantity of the initial discharge capacity and the unit with fault of construction that can be charged and discharged without causing each battery unit of defect.
Table 19
| Initial discharge capacity (μ Ah) | Unit number with fault of construction |
| Battery 3-18 | 5.4 | 1 |
| Battery 3-19 | 5.5 | 0 |
| Battery 3-20 | 5.2 | 1 |
| Battery 3-21 | 4.8 | 0 |
| Comparative cell 3-1 | 0 | 0 |
Battery 3-18, the result shows that even when using common metal (base metal) as current collector material, can also prevent the oxidation of current collector material by roasting green part under the partial pressure of oxygen of control roasting atmosphere gas to 3-21's.Therefore, use common metal being capable of charge/discharge as the solid state battery of current collector material.
In comparative cell 3-1, no unit shows rupture and/or leafing.But comparative cell 3-1 itself is unable to charge/discharge.This may be because the titanium itself for constituting current collector layer is oxidized and therefore current collector layer cannot maintain the ability of its collected current.Green part can be roasted in the not oxidized atmosphere of titanium, but when using this atmosphere, cannot decompose binder.
The above results show that the metal material of resistance to oxidation to a certain extent can be used as current collector material by the partial pressure of oxygen for controlling atmosphere gas.

(battery 3-25)
Other than the content of stainless steel in the stainless steel glue for being used to form positive electrode collector layer and negative electrode collector layer to be changed into 70 weight % of glue, battery 3-25 is prepared according to mode identical with battery 3-21.Positive electrode collector layer and negative electrode collector layer have 10% porosity.
For each battery of the battery 3-22 into 3-25,10 units of constant-current charge and electric discharge under condition identical with battery 3-18 (the upper blanking voltage of 2.5V and 1.0V under blanking voltage).Table 20 shows the quantity of the initial discharge capacity and the unit with fault of construction that can be charged and discharged without causing each battery unit of defect.
Table 20
| Initial discharge capacity (μ Ah) | Unit number with fault of construction |
| Battery 3-22 | 5.4 | 3 |
| Battery 3-23 | 5.5 | 5 |
| Battery 3-24 | 5.2 | 4 |
| Battery 3-25 | 4.8 | 5 |
The initial discharge capacity of battery 3-22 to 2-25 is equal with the initial discharge capacity of battery 3-18 to 3-21.In battery 3-22 into 3-25, because the porosity of positive electrode collector layer and negative electrode collector layer is 10%, this current collector layer is difficult to absorb the volume change of active material during charge/discharge.This may be why to increase in unit number of the battery 3-22 into 3-25 with fault of construction.
As described above, the current collector layer of the ordinary metallic material comprising resistance to oxidation to a certain extent can also be used other than noble metal.In addition, leafing and/or rupture caused by changing derived from active material volume during charge/discharge can be inhibited by the way that porosity is adjusted to 20-60%.It is, therefore, possible to provide highly reliable all solid lithium secondary battery.
