Silicone laminate and battery

A battery comprising a silicone laminate,

• the silicone laminate comprising layers of a silicone rubber layer (A) and a silicone layer (B) with a lower hardness than the silicone rubber layer (A),
• wherein the silicone layer (B) is a silicone sponge layer that is an independent foam with an expansion ratio of 1.2 to 3 times,
• the silicone rubber layer (A) and the silicone layer (B) are alternately stacked, and a number of layers is two or more for each of the layers (A) and (B), and four or more in total,
• the silicone rubber layer (A) has an Asker A hardness of 40 to 80, and the silicone layer (B) has an Asker C hardness of 30 to 70,
• a thickness of the silicone rubber layer (A) in a stacking direction is 1 to 100 mm, a thickness of the silicone layer (B) in the stacking direction is 1 to 100 mm, and the silicone layer (B) is 0.1 to 10 times as thick as the silicone rubber layer (A),
• a compressive strength of the silicone laminate is 1 to 30 N/mm2 when the silicone laminate is compressed to 50%,
• both the silicone rubber layer (A) and the silicone layer (B) are made of a material that is converted to ceramic and forms a sintered body when burned, so that the material retains its shape,
• the silicone laminate is fire resistant, and
• the silicone laminate is a cushioning material located between an adjacent pair of cells of the battery.
