A packaging material for solid-state batteries according to one aspect of the present disclosure contains sulfide-based solid electrolytes, including at least a substrate layer, a barrier layer, and a sealant layer in this order, in which at least one of the layers constituting the packaging material contains a color developer that changes color when reacting with hydrogen sulfide.

A package for a power storage device includes at least one laminated packaging material having first and second sections. The packaging material includes a metallic foil layer, a heat-resistant resin layer, and a heat-fusible resin layer. In a state in which the heat-fusible resin layers of the first and second sections are faced, peripheral edges thereof are heat-sealed to form a storage chamber for accommodating a device main body. One of the sections is extended outside the storage chamber to form a conductive flange having an exposed heat-fusible resin layer. The conductive flange is provided with an external conductive section in which the heat-fusible resin layer is partially removed to expose the metallic foil layer. The packaging material having the external conductive section is provided with an internal conductive section in the storage chamber in which the heat-fusible resin layer is partially removed to expose the metallic foil layer.

A miniature electrochemical cell having a total volume that is less than 0.5 cc is described. The cell casing is formed by joining two ceramic casing halves together. One or both casing halves are machined from ceramic to provide a recess that is sized and shaped to contain the electrode assembly. The opposite polarity terminals are metal feedthroughs, such as of gold, and are formed by brazing gold into openings machined into one or both of ceramic casing halves. A thin film metallization, such as of titanium, contacts an edge periphery of each ceramic casing half. The first ceramic casing half is moved into registry with the second ceramic casing half so that the first and second ring-shaped metallizations contact each other. Then, a laser welds through one of the casing halves being a substantially transparent ceramic, for example sapphire, to braze the first and second ring-shaped metallizations to each other to thereby join the first and second casing halves together to form a casing housing the electrode assembly. A solid electrolyte (Li.sub.xPO.sub.yN.sub.z) activates the electrode assembly.

A cell for use in an electrochemical cell, such as a lithium-ion secondary battery that includes a positive electrode with an active material that acts as a cathode and a current collector; a negative electrode with an active material that acts as an anode and a current collector; a non-aqueous electrolyte; and a separator placed between the positive and negative electrodes. At least one of the cathode, the anode, the electrolyte, and the separator includes an inorganic additive in the form of a metal aluminate or a mixture of metal aluminates that absorbs one or more of moisture, free transition metal ions, or hydrogen fluoride (HF) that become present in the cell. One or more of the cells may be combined in a housing to form a lithium-ion secondary battery. The inorganic additive may also be incorporated as a coating applied to the internal wall of the housing.

A three dimensional flame barrier is described herein. The three dimensional flame barrier comprises a flame resistant material, wherein the flame resistant barrier has a complex geometry that is defined by a height, width and length, wherein the height of the complex geometry is substantially greater than the thickness of the flame resistant material from which it is formed wherein the flame resistant material comprises inorganic fibers, inorganic particles and an inorganic binder. In some embodiments, the flame barrier article can further comprise a fire protection coating disposed on a first major surface of the flame barrier material.
