Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a solid-state battery including: an electrode laminate in which a negative electrode mixture layer, a solid electrolyte layer, and a positive electrode mixture layer are sequentially laminated over a negative electrode current collector; a positive electrode current collector; an insulating frame provided along an outer periphery of the positive electrode mixture layer and an outer periphery of the positive electrode current collector; and a positive electrode tab. In a cross section parallel to a laminating direction of the electrode laminate and perpendicular to a direction in which the positive electrode tab extends, the solid electrolyte layer has a first region disposed inside the insulating frame and a second region disposed outside the insulating frame, and when the solid-state battery is viewed from above, an outer peripheral edge of the second region is located outside an outer peripheral edge of the first region.
