Abstract
In a power storage module, a side surface of an electrode laminate body has a welded layer where first sealing portions adjacent in a lamination direction are welded. A sealing body has: a side surface (opening wall) provided with a through hole communicating with an internal space; and side surfaces (non-opening walls) lacking the through hole. When viewed from the lamination direction, a width of the welded layer at the opening wall is smaller than a width of the welded layer at the non-opening wall.
Claims3
A power storage module comprising:
- an electrode laminate body having a plurality of electrodes laminated in a first direction;
- a separator containing an electrolyte and arranged in an internal space formed between the electrodes adjacent to each other in the electrode laminate body;
- and
- a sealing body provided on an outer peripheral portion of the electrode laminate body and sealing the internal space, wherein
- the plurality of electrodes include a bipolar electrode having a positive electrode active material layer on one surface of a current collector and having a negative electrode active material layer on the other surface of the current collector,
- the sealing body includes first sealing portions and a second sealing portion,
- the first sealing portion is joined to an edge portion of a current collector of each of the plurality of electrodes and has a protruding part protruding outward beyond the edge portion of the current collector,
- the second sealing portion is provided so as to cover an outer periphery of the first sealing portion on a side surface of the electrode laminate body extending in the first direction,
- the sealing body has a welded portion where the protruding parts of the first sealing portions adjacent to each other in the first direction are welded to each other and has an opening wall provided with a communication hole allowing the internal space and an outside of the sealing body to communicate with each other and a non-opening wall lacking the communication hole, and
- a width of the welded portion at the opening wall is smaller than a width of the welded portion at the non-opening wall when viewed from the first direction.
