PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nonaqueous electrolyte battery excelling in charging and discharging cycle characteristics. SOLUTION: The nonaqueous electrolyte battery B is provided with a power-generating element E formed by lamination of a cathode 1, a solid electrolyte layer 3 and an anode 2. The cathode 1 is formed by deposition of LiCoO 2 on a stainless base material s by using a laser ablation method. The solid electrolyte layer 3 is formed through the deposition of Li 2 S-P 2 S 5 system solid electrolyte, by using the laser ablation method, and the anode 2 is formed by the deposition of Li by using vacuum deposition method. A pressure of 0.01-1.0 MPa is applied in the laminating direction of the power-generating element E by using a spacer 10 and a leaf spring 11. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
