Description

COPOLYETHER AND SOLID POLYMER ELECTROLYTE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a polyether copolymer and a solid polymer electrolyte. More particularly, it relates to a solid polymer electrolyte which is suitable as a material for an electrochemical device such as a battery, a capacitor and a sensor.
RELATED ART
As an electrolyte constituting an electrochemical device such as a battery, a capacitor and a sensor, those in the form of a solution or a paste have hitherto been used in view of the ionic conductivity. However, the following problems are pointed out.
That is, there is a risk of damage to an apparatus arising due to liquid leakage, and subminiaturization and thinning of the device are limited because a separator to be impregnated with an electrolyte solution is required. To the contrary, a solid electrolyte such as inorganic crystalline substance, inorganic glass and organic polymer substance is suggested. The organic polymer substance is generally superior in processability and moldability and the resulting solid electrolyte has good flexibility and bending processability and, furthermore, the design freedom of the device to be applied is high and, therefore, the development is expected. However, the organic polymer substance is inferior in ionic conductivity to other materials at present. For example, a trial containing a specific alkaline metal salt in a mixture of an epichlorohydrin rubber and a low-molecular weight polyethylene glycol derivative and applying the resultant product to a solid polymer electrolyte is suggested in Japanese Patent Kokai Publication No. 235957/1990, but a practically sufficient conductivity value is not still obtained. Furthermore, a solid polymer electrolyte prepared by crosslinking a polymeric compound which has been described in Japanese Patent Kokai Publication Nos. 47833/1991 and 680b4/1992 shows a comparatively good ionic conductivity within a practical temperature range, but those having improved mechanical characteristics and ionic conductivity are required.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention provides a solid electrolyte which hash mechanical properties and ionic conductivity.
The present invention provides a polyether copolymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 103 to 10', which is optionally crosslinked, comprising:
(A) 0.5 to 99% by mol of a repeating unit derived from a monomer represented by the formula (I):
CH2 O--~CH2 CH2 O-~R' CH2 CH-CH2 O-CH (I) CH2 O--f-CH2 CH2 O-~R2 wherein each of R1 and RZ represents a group selected from an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 14 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group having 7 to 12 carbon atom and a tetrahydropyranyl group; and each of m and n represents a numeral of 1 to 12;
(B) 99.5 to 1% by mol of a repeating unit derived from a monomer represented by the formula (II):
C~2 /CH2 (II) O
and i (C) 0 to 15% by mol of a repeating unit derived from a monomer having one ' epoxy group and at least one reactive functional group.
The present invention provides a solid polymer electrolyte comprising:
(1) the above polyether copolymer, (2) an electrolyte salt compound, and, (3) if necessary, a plasticizer selected from the group consisting of an aprotic organic solvent, and a derivative or metal salt of a linear or branched polyalkylene glycol having a number-average molecular weight of 200 to 5,000 or a metal salt of said derivative.
The present invention also provides a battery comprising the above solid polymer electrolyte.
A crosslinked material of the polyether copolymer is used when shape stability at high temperature is required.
When the plasticizer is blended with the solid polymer electrolyte, the crystallization of the polymer is inhibited and the glass transition temperature is lowered and a large amount of an amorphous phase is formed even at low temperature and, therefore, the ionic conductivity is improved. It has also been found that, when the solid polymer electrolyte of the present invention is used, a high-performance battery having small internal resistance can be obtained. The solid polymer electrolyte of the present invention may be in the form of a gel. The term "gel" used herein means a polymer swollen with a solvent.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The repeating unit (C) may be derived from a monomer of the formula (III-1) or (III-2):
\ / (II I-1 ) O
/CH2_C \ Ra \CH-CH (III-2) \/
O
wherein R3 and R4 represent a reactive functional group-containing group.
The polyether polymer of the present invention comprises (A) a repeating unit derived from a monomer (I):
-~CH2-CH-O-3--CH2 CH2 O~CH2-CH2-O-~R' O CH (I ) CH2-O-f-CH2-CH2 O~R2 wherein each of R1 and RZ is a group selected from an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 14 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group having 7 to 12 carbon atoms and a tetrahydropyranyl group; and each of m and n is a numeral of 1 to 12, and (B) a repeating unit derived from a monomer {II):
-f-CH2-CH2 O~-- (II') The polyether copolymer optionally comprises (C) a repeating unit derived from a monomer having one epoxy group and at least one reactive functional group. A

crosslinked material can be derived from the polyeaher copolymer having the repeating unit (C) by utilizing the reactivity of the reactive functional group.
The copolymer used in the present invention may be crosslinked or not crosslinked. Examples of a crosslinking agent for crosslinking a binary copolymer 5 having the repeating unit (I') and the repeating unit: (III specifically include isocyanate compounds such as ?,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and hexamethylene diisocyanate.
The repeating unit (C) derived from a monomer of the: formula (III-1) or (III-2) is represented by the formula (III'-1) or (III'-2):
-(-CH2 CH-O~-- {III'-1) Ra CH \CH (III'-2) -f -CH-CH-O-j-wherein R3 and R4 represent a reactive functional group-containing group.
The reactive functional group in the repeating unit (C'.) is preferably (a) a reactive silicon group, (b) an epoxy group, (c) an ethylenically unsaturated group, or (d) a halogen atom.
The polymerization method of the polyether copolymer, which may have a crosslinkable side chain, of the present invention is the polymerization method wherein a copolymer is obtained by a ring opening reaction of ethylene oxide portion and can be conducted in the same manner as that described in Japanese Patent Kokai Publication Nos. 154736/1988 and 169823/1987 filed by the present applicant.
The polymerization reaction can be conducted as tollc~ws. That is, the polyether copolymer can be obtained by reacting the respective monomers at the ' reaction temperature of 10 to 80°C under stirring, using a catalyst mainly containing an organoaluminum, a catalyst mainly containing an organozinc, an organotin-phosphate ester condensate catalyst and the like as a ring opening polymerization catalyst in the presence or absence of a solvent. Among of them, the organotin-phosphate ester condensate catalyst is particularly preferable in view of the polymerization degree, or properties of the resulting copolymer and the like. In the polymerization reaction, the reactive functional group does not react so that a copolymer having the reaction functional group is obtained. When an oxirane compound having an epoxy group at only the both ends is used, a lone epoxy group containing no substituent such as no methyl group is used for polymerization and an epoxy group containing a methyl group remains in the polymer without any reaction.
In the polyether copolymer of the present invention, the content of the repeating unit (A) is from 0.5 to 99% by mol, e.g. from 3 to 99% by mol, particularly from 10 to 95% by mol, and especially from 10 to 80% by mol; the content of the repeating unit (B) is from 99.5 to 1% by mol, e.g. from 95 to 1% by mol, particularly from 90 to 5% by mol, and specifically from 80 to 5% by mol; and the content of the repeating unit (C) is from 0 to 15% by mol, e.g. 0 to 10% by mol, preferably from 0 to 5% by mol, and particularly 0.001 to S% by mol. When the content of the repeating unit (B) exceeds 99.5% by mol, an increase in glass transition temperature and crystallization of the oxyethylene chain arise, which results in drastic deterioration of the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte. It is generally known that the ionic conductivity is improved by the decrease of the crystallizability of polyethylene oxide.
It has been found that, in case of the polyether copolymer of the present invention, the effect on improvement of the ionic conductivity is remarkably large.
With respect to the molecular weight of the polyether copolymer, the weight-average molecular weight is suitable within the range from 10' to 10', and preferably from 104 to 5 x 106, so as to obtain excellent processability, moldability, mechanical strength and flexibility. More preferably it is from S x 104 to 5 x 106, particularly from 105 to 5 x 106.
A glass transition temperature and a fusion heat of the polyether copolymer are measured by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). In the present invention, the glass transition temperature of the polyether copolymer is preferably not more than -b0°C, more preferably not more than -63°C, e.g. not more than -65°C. The fusion heat of the polyether copolymer is preferably not more than 90 J/g, e.g. not more than 70 J/g, specifically not more than 60 J/g, particularly not more than 50 J/g.
The polyether copolymer of the present invention may be any copolymer type such as a block copolymer and a random copolymer, but the random copolymer is preferable because the effect for reduction of the crystallizability of polyethylene oxide is large. The polyether copolymer of the present invention is a polyether copolymer having a side chain with two oligooxyethylene groups and, if necessary, a side chain containing a crosslinkable reactive functional group. The polyether copolymer of the present invention is a copolymer formed from at least two monomers.
The polymerization degrees m and n of the oxyethylene unit of the side chain portion in the monomer (I), which constitutes the repeating unit (A), are from 1 to 12, e.g. from 1 to 6, respectively. When the polymerization degree n exceeds 12, the ionic conductivity of the resulting solid polymer electrolyte is unfavorably deteriorated.
When R1 or Rz represents an alkyl group, the preferable carbon number of the alkyl group is from 1 to 6, particularly from 1 to 3. When R1 or RZ represents an alkenyl group, the preferable carbon number of the alkenyl group is from 2 to 6, particularly from 2 to 4. In the monomer (I), R1 and RZ may be a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group, a pentyl group, a hexyl group, an allyl group or a cyclohexyl group.

In the following polymerization, this organotin/phosphate ester condensate was used as a polymerization catalyst.
The composition analysis (in terms of monomer) of the polyether copolymer by element analysis and'H NMR spectrum was conducted. In the case of the measurement of the molecular weight of the polyether copolymer, the gel permeation chromatography measurement was conducted and the molecular weight was calculated in terms of standard polystyrene. The gel permeation chromatography measurement TM
was conducted at 60°C by a measuring device RID-6A manufactured by Shimadzu TM
Corp., using a column manufactured by Showa Denko Co., Ltd. such as Showdex KD-807, KD-806, KD-806 and KD-803, and a solvent DMF. The glass transition temperature and fusion heat were measured in a nitrogen atmosphere within the temperature range from -100 to 80°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min. by a differential TM
scanning calorimeter DSC8230B manufactured by Rigaku Denki Co., Ltd. The measurement of the conductivity a was conducted as follows. That is, a film vacuum-dried at 20°C under 1 mmHg for 72 hours (or gel-like film) was sandwiched between platinum electrodes and the conductivity was calculated according to the complex impedance method, using an A.C. method (voltage: 0.5 V, frequency: 5 Hz to 1 MHz).
The flexibility of the solid electrolyte film was evaluated by the presence or absence of breakage in case of folding the film at an angle of 180 degrees at 25°C.
Example 1 After the atmosphere in a four-necked glass flask (internal volume: 3 L) was replaced by nitrogen, the condensate (1 g) obtained in the Preparation Example of the catalyst as the catalyst, 2-glycidoxy-1, 3-bis(2-methoxyethoxy) propane (300 g) having a water content adjusted to not more than 10 ppm and n-hexane (1,000 g) as the solvent were charged in the flask, and ethylene oxide (75 g) was gradually added while monitoring the polymerization degree of 2-glycidoxy-1, 3-bis (2-methoxyethoxy) propane by a gas chromatography. The polymerization reaction was terminated using methanol. The polymer was isolated by decantation, dried at 40°C
under normal pressure for 24 hours, and then dried at 45°C under reduced pressure for 10 hours to obtain 350 g of a polymer. The glass transition temperature of this copolymer was - 73°C, the weight-average molecular weight was 250,000 and the fusion heat was 8 J/g.
The results of the composition analysis (in terms of monomer) of this polymer by 1H
NMR spectrum are shown in Table 1.
5 Examples 2 to 7 Using the monomer shown in Table 1, the copolymerization was conducted using the same catalyst and operation as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1.
Examples 8 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 10 The copolymer obtained in each of Examples 1 to 4 or a polyether copolymer (polyethylene oxide in Comparative Example 1) (1 g) in Table 3 was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml), and the resulting solution was mixed with a tetrahydrofuran solution of lithium perchlorate so that the molar ratio of (the number of moles of the electrolyte salt compound to the total number of moles of ether oxygen atoms of 15 polyether copolymer) was 0.05. This mixed solution was carted on a mold made of polytetrafluoroethylene, followed by sufficient drying to obtain a film. The electrical conductivity a of the film was measured by an A.C. method described above. The results are shown in Tables 2 and 3. Comparative Example 4 is an example of copolymer of glycidyl ether having one oligooxy ethylene unit and ethylene oxide.
20 Example 12 The copolymer {1 g) obtained in Example 5 was dissolved in acetonitrile (20 ml), and the resulting solution was mixed with an acetonitrile solution of lithium bistrifluoromethanesulfonylimide (hereinafter referred to as LiTFSI) so that the molar ratio of (the number of moles of the LiTFSI) to (the total number of moles of ether 25 oxygen atoms of polyether copolymer) was 0.05. This mixed solution was carted on a mold made of polytetrafluoroethylene, followed by sufficient drying to obtain a film.
The characteristics of the film were measured in the same manner as in Examples 8 to 11. The electrical conductivity of the solid electrolyte was 6.2 X 10'' S/cm at 25°C.
The results are shown in Table 2.
Example 13 The copolymer (1 g) obtained in Example 6 was dissolved in acetonitrile (20 ml), and the resulting solution was mixed with an acetonitrile solution of LiTFSI so that the molar ratio of (the number of moles of the LiTFSI) to (the total number of moles of ether oxygen atoms) was 0.03. This mixed solution was carted on a mold made of polytetrafluoroethylene, followed by sufficient drying to obtain a film. The characteristics of the resulting film were measured in the same manner as in Examples 8 to 11. The results are shown in Table 2.
Example 14 A film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 13, except that the molar ratio of (the number of moles of the LiTFSI) to (the total number of moles of ether oxygen atoms) was 0.05. Properties of the film were measured in the same manner as in Examples 8 to 11. The results are shown in Table 2.
It is apparent from a comparison with Comparative Examples that the solid polymer electrolyte of the present invention has a particularly excellent ionic conductivity.
Example 15 Using the solid polymer electrolyte obtained in Example 10 as the electrolyte, a lithium metal foil as a negative electrode and lithium cobaltate (LiCo02) as a positive electrode, a secondary battery was constructed. The size of the solid polymer . electrolyte was 10 mm x 10 mm x 0.2 mm. The size of the lithium foil was 10 mm x i mm x 0.1 mm. Lithium cobaltate was prepared by mixing a predetermined amount of lithium carbonate and cobalt carbonate powder and calcining the mixture at 900°C
for S hours. The calcined mixture was ground, and then 12 parts by weight of acetylene black and 3 parts by weight of the solid polymer electrolyte obtained in 5 Example 10 were added to 85 parts by weight of the resulting lithium cobaltate, followed by mixing by a roll and further press-molding under the pressure of KgW/cm2 to form a positive electrode having the size of 10 mm x 10 mm x 2 mm.
The solid polymer electrolyte obtained in Example l0 was sandwiched between the lithium metal foil and the lithium cobaltate plate, and the charge/discharge 10 characteristics of the resulting battery were examined at 25°C while applying a pressure of 10 KgW/cm2 so that the interfaces were brought into contact with each other.
The discharge current at the initial terminal voltage of 3.8 V was 0.1 mA/cm2 and charging could be conducted at 0.1 mA/cm2. It is possible to easily reduce the thickness of the battery in this Example and, therefore, a light-weight and large-capacity battery can be obtained.
