Yet, use battery available capacity to be about 350mAh/g based on the graphite material negative pole, this value has been in close proximity to the theoretical capacity (372mAh/g) of graphite material.Therefore, as long as in negative pole, use graphite material, with regard to the unlikely capacity that increases substantially.Simultaneously, the function of mancarried device is just becoming and is becoming increasingly complex, and also requires correspondingly to improve as the capacity of the rechargeable nonaqueous electrolytic battery of this kind equipment energy source.Therefore, in order to obtain higher capacity, the taller negative material of Capacity Ratio graphite must be arranged.
As the material that high power capacity can be provided, the alloy material that contains silicon (Si) has obtained people's attention recently with the alloy material that contains tin.These metallic elements are the absorption and desorption lithium ion electrochemically, can carry out charge/discharge with the capacity more much higher than graphite.For example, the theoretical discharge capacity of known silicon is 4199mAh/g, and this is 11 times of theoretical discharge capacity of graphite.
Therefore, now studying and using siliceous negative active core-shell material, be used the battery of conventional lithium secondary battery element, these conventional lithium secondary battery elements such as lithium cobaltate cathode and the nonaqueous electrolyte of forming by the mixed solution of 1mol/L lithium hexafluoro phosphate and ethylene carbonate and methyl ethyl carbonate simultaneously.Yet if this class battery is stored in high temperature, especially under discharge condition, their are very easy to degenerate.Therefore, there is the problem that storage back battery functi on lost efficacy in this class battery.
For fear of this problem, preferably the negative discharge electromotive force is minimized.For example, Japan publication publication number Hei 11-233155 (patent documentation 1) suggestion is by using SiO as negative active core-shell material and will be controlled at 0.6V or lower with respect to the discharge off electromotive force of the negative pole of Li electrode, thereby will reduce to minimum because of the capacitance loss that charge/discharge cycle causes.
Yet, if limit discharge potential,, can only utilize the only about half of of the intrinsic capacity of SiO because SiO is 0.4V~0.5V with respect to the average discharge potential of Li electrode as patent documentation 1, therefore, sacrificed the intrinsic high capacity characteristics of SiO.

This reaction is scrutinized, is inferred following reaction has taken place when Si contained in the negative active core-shell material is dissolved in electrolyte:
Si+2HF+nh +=>SiF 2+2H ++(n-1)e - (1)
(h +The expression hole)
When battery is in when having HF in discharge condition (promptly when electronics leaves negative pole) and the nonaqueous electrolyte, Si has formed SiF by the reaction shown in the reaction equation (1) 2, and be dissolved in the nonaqueous electrolyte.SiF 2Be deposited in other position of negative terminal surface or battery by following chemical reaction as the compound of Si.
SiF 2+4HF=>H 2SiF 6+H 2 (2)
When Si contained in the negative active core-shell material is dissolved in nonaqueous electrolyte and with the form of Si compound precipitation takes place, believe these reactions have taken place.Be dissolved in nonaqueous electrolyte and Si and be deposited in the surface of negative pole with the form of Si compound in order to suppress between charge period contained Si in the negative active core-shell material, the inventor finds that following condition is effective:

Though in appending claims, proposed new feature of the present invention especially, but can be better from the detailed description of doing below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, no matter be from tissue or on content, understanding and cognition the present invention and relevant other purpose and feature thereof.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the longitudinal profile schematic diagram of employed cylindric lithium rechargeable battery in the embodiment of the invention.
Detailed Description Of The Invention
Electrochemically the negative active core-shell material of absorption and desorption Li comprises Si according to the present invention. More clearly, negative active core-shell material is Si, Si alloy or Si compound.
The Si alloy preferably has the Si content greater than 50 % by weight. Particularly preferred Si alloy has 75 % by weight or above Si content. This class alloy can provide high capacity.
The impurity element that comprises in Si alloy, Si or the Si compound is preferably Ti, Zr or Sn. Further, also preferably include P or Sb. In addition, have Fe, Ni, Co, Cu or Cr if wherein comprise the unit that will have a negative impact, the total content of Fe, Ni, Co, Cu and Cr is 1000ppm or lower ideally.
Its reason is as follows: Ti, Zr, Sn, P or Sb, and just in time the same with Si, have 4 valencys or higher chemical valence. Therefore, when Ti, Zr, Sn, P or Sb and Si formation alloy, unlikely form the hole, but can produce free electron (carrier), thereby these elements can produce the favourable effect that increases electric conductivity. On the other hand, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu or Cr are 3 valencys or divalent when Si is combined. Therefore, when forming alloy with Si, can form the hole in the alloy, thereby between charge period, can impel the Si dissolving.
The Si compound is preferably SiOx, 0<x<2 wherein. Especially when 0<x≤1, can obtain capacity height, long negative pole of life-span. The ratio of x value representation oxygen and whole negative active core-shell materials, for example, can be according to firing method by oxygen be quantized to be measured. This compound S iOxCan be formed by multiple partly, perhaps can be by forming fully uniformly. The examples of compounds of the previous case is SiO0.8, wherein outermost layer is SiO0.3, the intermediate layer is SiO0.7, the most the lower layer of is SiO0.9
As mentioned above, the negative active core-shell material based on Si is preferably unbodied or low crystallization. As used herein " low crystallization " refer to that grain size is 50nm or following. By Schuler (Scherrer) equation, the half-breadth at the strongest peak can calculate grain size from X-ray diffraction pattern.
" unbodied " refers in the X-ray diffraction pattern to have wide peak in the scope of 2 θ=15~40 ° simultaneously, as used herein. For the negative active core-shell material of crystallization, when it expanded because inserting Li, the particle of negative active core-shell material or film can break or damage. Consequently, the response area of negative active core-shell material increases, and therefore with the contained hydrofluoric acid of nonaqueous electrolyte more touch opportunity has been arranged. Therefore, promoted the precipitation reaction of solubilizing reaction and the Si compound of Si. On the other hand, for the negative active core-shell material of amorphous or low crystallization, it can expand when inserting Li, but because it is cut apart by small crystal boundary (approximately from several nanometers to 50nm), swelling stress is disperseed by corresponding crystal boundary and weakens. Consequently, unlikely generation active material particles or film breaks or breakage.
In an optimal way that comprises based on the negative pole of the negative active core-shell material of Si, in anode collector electrode mixture layer and adhesive are arranged, this electrode mixture layer contains the negative active core-shell material particle at least. In another optimal way, on anode collector, provide negative active core-shell material with the deposited film that forms by physics or chemical method or the form of sintered membrane. At one particularly preferably in the mode, the deposited film of negative active core-shell material is formed on the anode collector by physical method.
The size of the negative active core-shell material particle that uses in the electrode mixture layer is preferably and is not less than 0.1 μ m and is not more than 50 μ m. Adhesive can be any material, as long as its can bond anode collector and negative active core-shell material, and in the battery operation potential range on electrochemistry torpescence. Suitable demonstration adhesive comprises styrene-butylene copolymer rubber, polyacrylic acid, polyethylene, polyurethane, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), carboxymethyl cellulose and methylcellulose etc. They can use separately, also use capable of being combined. For the amount of adhesive, amount is The more the better with regard to the structure that keeps the electrode mixture layer, but with regard to improve battery capacity, to improve with regard to the flash-over characteristic amount more few better. The electrode mixture layer further preferably contains the conductive agent that mainly is comprised of carbon such as graphite, carbon black or CNT. These conductive agents preferably contact with negative active core-shell material.
The preferred physical method that forms deposited film is sputter, vapor deposition, thermal spray and bead, and preferred chemical method is CVD and plating. Form in the method for deposited film at these, particularly preferably vapor deposition because vapor deposition can form at a high speed film, and is suitable for forming the deposited film that is not less than several microns and is not more than 50 μ m. Deposited film is flat or smooth film not necessarily, and the active material of deposition can be column or island. Sintered membrane contains the electrode mixture layer of negative active core-shell material ideally by formation, and it is carried out sintering processes provides by heating or isoionic method.
When the deposited film of negative active core-shell material or sintered membrane only were comprised of Si, preferred thickness was for being not less than 1 μ m and being not more than 20 μ m. When film was thinner than 1 μ m, current-collector was large with respect to the volume of battery, was difficult to produce battery capacious with this. On the other hand, if thickness in 20 μ m, the stress that expand to produce because of active material can obvious effect on whole current-collector or negative pole, thus can the wrinkle electrode or cause electrode finally to be ruined. Therefore, the thickness greater than 20 μ m is also improper. When the deposited film of negative active core-shell material or sintered membrane are comprised of Si alloy or Si compound since with same cause described above, the thickness of film preferably is not less than 3 μ m and is not more than 50 μ m.
Each film thickness mentioned above all refers to insert the thickness before the lithium, and is almost equal with the film thickness under the discharge condition (battery status when being discharged to final discharging voltage).
The electrode mixture layer thickness that contains negative active core-shell material preferably is not less than 10 μ m and is not more than 100 μ m. If the electrode mixture bed thickness is in 100 μ m, nonaqueous electrolyte is difficult to be penetrated near the current-collector, and negative active core-shell material just can not be fully utilized like this. Simultaneously, when it is thinner than 10 μ m, too large with respect to the current-collector volume of electrode. Consequently, the battery capacity variation, and this is undesirable.
Nonaqueous electrolyte comprises nonaqueous solvents and is dissolved in the lithium hexafluoro phosphate of the conduct master supporting electrolyte of this nonaqueous solvents. As long as with the electrolyte of nonaqueous solvents as rechargeable nonaqueous electrolytic battery, any nonaqueous solvents can use and be not particularly limited. Normally used example has the solvent mixture of cyclic carbonate and linear carbonate, this cyclic carbonate such as ethylene carbonate or propylene carbonate, this linear carbonate such as methyl carbonate, ethyl carbonate or methyl ethyl carbonate. In addition, gamma-butyrolacton and dimethoxy-ethane etc. can also be mixed into nonaqueous solvents. The concentration of lithium hexafluoro phosphate is not less than ideally 0.5mol/L and is not higher than 2mol/L. Compare with using other lithium salts, use lithium hexafluoro phosphate can provide good battery behavior as the nonaqueous electrolyte of main supporting electrolyte. In addition, except lithium hexafluoro phosphate, can also add other a small amount of lithium salts, for example, LiBF4 or imino group lithium salts.
The total acid content of nonaqueous electrolyte is not less than 50ppm and is not higher than 200ppm. Negative pole can cause the solubilizing reaction of Si when as mentioned above, there was HF in interdischarge interval. In the present invention, by control acid content and negative pole electromotive force, the part surface of negative active core-shell material can be adjusted the charge/discharge reaction is carried out easily.
Outermost surface based on the negative active core-shell material of Si is coated with SiO usually2 Because this SiO2For Li torpescence and non-conductive, so it can disturb charge/discharge reaction on electrochemistry. Therefore, by dissolving SiO2Near layer and the part Si (refers to Si phase or SiO in Si element, the Si alloy at this Six(0<x<2) phase) response area of negative active core-shell material can be increased, electrochemical reaction can be promoted. If the acid content of nonaqueous electrolyte is lower than 50 ppm, SiO2Layer can not fully dissolve, and surface of active material is destroyed insufficiently, so just can not be effective. On the other hand, if acid content is higher than 200ppm, then negative active core-shell material Si meeting excessive dissolution is so also improper.
The contained main acid of nonaqueous electrolyte is hydrofluoric acid, but as long as total acid content also can contain other acid within above-mentioned scope. By reducing initial (during production) the contained water content of nonaqueous electrolyte, can reduce the acid content of nonaqueous electrolyte. In addition, also can effectively reduce acid content by the water content that reduces in positive pole, negative pole, barrier film and other battery component.
In addition, contained two [1,2-oxalic acid (2-)-O, O '] borate (after this being called BOB) ions of nonaqueous electrolyte preferably are not higher than 5 % by weight. The BOB ion is a kind of anion with following structural formula, can play neutralization to acid contained in the electrolyte. Therefore, the BOB ion can obviously weaken the active acid in the electrolyte, avoids the precipitation reaction of the Si of the excessive dissolution reaction of Si and dissolving with this.

In the present invention, when the battery discharge final voltage, the negative pole electromotive force is with respect to Li/Li+Be 0.6~1.5V. If discharge finishes being higher than under the electromotive force of this scope, even above-mentioned condition is met the Si dissolving might occur also. When the battery discharge final voltage, the negative pole electromotive force is with respect to Li/Li+Be particularly preferably 0.6~0.9V. As used herein " final discharging voltage " but refer to the minimum discharge voltage of safe-discharge. In the present invention, the scope that final discharging voltage is set is for being not less than 1.5V and not being higher than 3.0V, and preferred scope is 2.0V~2.5V. In addition, even at least in this voltage range, also should be preferably after battery be discharged to the charge/discharge cycle end fully, both existed reversible Li (can play the Li of electrochemical action) also to have irreversible Li (owing to the reason of side reaction etc. does not have the Li of electromotive force, such as the oxide of Li). In the case, if over-discharge occurs, reversible Li can discharge, and therefore can guarantee the safety of battery. For the content of reversible Li, will produce effect on a small quantity, but be not less than with respect to Li/Li ideally+Be in 0~3.0V scope discharge capacity (total discharge capacity) 3% and be not higher than 30%. Exhaust easily when over-discharge if the content of reversible Li is lower than 3%, Li, therefore be difficult to guarantee safety. On the other hand, if content surpasses 30%, the capacity of Li that is used for battery operated voltage range is little, therefore is difficult to obtain high power capacity.
In addition, the anticathode discharge potential is controlled like this, can bring about tangible results to suppressing the Si dissolving, especially when using the oxide of form of film Si particularly.Reason is probably as follows.At first, the oxide of Si has a SiO especially 2Layer.Secondly, little with the response area of the oxide of the Si of form of film, so the per unit response area has than the obvious high capacity of the oxide of particulate Si, therefore, cause side reaction easilier.
In order to make negative discharge stop electromotive force within above-mentioned scope and high capacity is provided, preferably add Li so that suitable negative pole irreversible capacity to be provided.The method that adds Li comprises a kind of method and a kind of method that forms the Li film by methods such as vapor depositions in negative terminal surface of sticking the Li metal forming in negative terminal surface.The amount that joins the Li on surface can take the circumstances into consideration to consider according to the irreversible capacity of negative pole self.
When negative pole of the present invention comprise current-collector that metal forming is made and each side of current-collector with the negative pole mixture layer time, current-collector is desirably Copper Foil or copper alloy foil.Copper alloy foil preferably has 90 weight % or higher copper content.With regard to the intensity and flexibility of improving current-collector, the Copper Foil or the copper alloy foil that contain such as P, Ag or Cr element are effective.
The thickness of current-collector preferably is not less than 6 μ m and is not more than 40 μ m.If being thinner than 6 μ m, current-collector can be difficult to handle.In addition, current-collector also can not have the intensity of requirement, thereby can break or wrinkling because of the electrode mixture layer expands and shrinks.On the other hand, if current-collector is thicker than 40 μ m, then current-collector is big with the volume of battery ratio, and therefore the kind according to battery is unfavorable for capacity.In addition, also can be difficult to processing if current-collector is thick, as be difficult to bending.
Rechargeable nonaqueous electrolytic battery of the present invention comprises above-mentioned negative pole, electrochemically positive pole and the nonaqueous electrolyte of absorption and desorption Li.
Positive pole can be to be used as anodal any electrode in the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell, does not have specific restriction.Positive pole can be produced with conventional method.For example, can be in liquid phase the blended anode active material, such as the conductive agent of carbon black with such as the binding agent shape pulping agent of polyvinylidene fluoride, this slurry agent is applied to the cathode collector of making as with Al, it is carried out drying, coiling, can obtain positive pole thus.
Positive electrode active materials can be any material that is used as positive electrode active materials in the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell, does not have specific restriction.Yet, preferably contain the transistion metal compound of lithium.The example that contains the transistion metal compound of lithium includes but not limited to LiCoO 2, LiNiO 2, LiMn 2O 4And LiMnO 2Its transition metal also can preferably be used by this compounds that other element replaces.This class example comprises LiCo 1-xMg xO 2, LiNi 1-yCo yO 2, LiNi 1-y-zCo yMn zO 2, 0<x<1,0<y<1 wherein, z is an integer.
In order to prevent internal short-circuit between positive pole and negative pole, between two electrodes, provide a barrier film.Barrier material can be any material, as long as this material can make nonaqueous electrolyte rationally pass through, and can make and avoids contact between positive pole and the negative pole.The microporous barrier of manufacturing such as polyethylene, polypropylene is usually used in rechargeable nonaqueous electrolytic battery, and its thickness generally is not less than 10 μ m and is not more than 30 μ m.
The present invention is applicable to the rechargeable nonaqueous electrolytic battery of different shape, as cylindric, flat, coin and prism-shaped etc., the shape of battery is had no particular limits.The present invention is applicable to the battery of various packing forms, comprises such as electrification components such as electrode and electrolyte being packaged in battery in metal battery box or the laminate film box, and the packing forms of battery is not particularly limited.
After this mode by embodiment and comparative example is described in more detail the present invention.Yet following examples only are the explanation to optimal way of the present invention, should not be construed as any limitation of the invention.

The manufacture method of battery 19 and battery 6 identical relatively in the table 1 is except wherein having used the negative pole for preparing by the following method.With the graphite of 100 weight portions and the mixture and the water mixing pulping agent of the bonding agent (polyacrylic acid) of 6 weight portions, should starch agent and be applied on the current-collector, carry out drying and coiling, make negative pole.
As shown in table 1, all use the battery of present embodiment negative pole all to compare than battery 19 and show higher capacity.Yet battery 1, battery 7, battery 13, battery " a " and battery " f " only show high slightly capacity than battery 19 frequently, and this shows that they do not make full use of the characteristic of negative pole of the present invention.Further, battery 18 shows low slightly capacity than battery 19 frequently because anodal lithium since the irreversible capacity of negative pole be consumed.To battery " f " also is same situation.In addition, for the storage characteristics after the discharge, observe battery 6, battery 12, battery 18 and battery " f " and have low especially recovery rate.To finding behind these battery scrutinies, nonaqueous electrolyte contains the Si that is dissolved in a large number wherein and has formed the coated film that contains Si on the surface of negative pole.In addition, to finding after other battery inspection, negative pole electromotive force (storage period negative pole electromotive force in the table 1) was low more when discharge finished, the Si that is dissolved in nonaqueous electrolyte more less and the amount of dissolving be lower than the lower limit of measurement, particularly when the negative pole electromotive force with respect to Li/Li +For 0.9V or when lower.
In these batteries, the acid content of nonaqueous electrolyte is 63~91ppm.In the battery 1~6 that uses negative pole (i), acid content is minimum, is 63~71ppm.In using negative pole battery 7~12 (ii), acid content is higher, is 83~91ppm.Reason is probably as follows.Negative pole (ii) in, use polyacrylic acid as bonding agent, polyacrylic acid has formed hydrate on electrode.Partially hydrated thing can not evaporate between 190 ℃ of following dry periods, contained water and the LiPF in the nonaqueous electrolyte in the hydrate 6Formation hydrofluoric acid reacts.Negative pole (iii) in, acid content is 75~81ppm.Table 1 has provided these values.
In addition, for the capability retention after 100 circulations, battery 6, battery 12 and battery 18 are not as other battery.This may be because of the increase along with charge/discharge cycle, and discharge repeatedly can cause taking place the solubilizing reaction of Si and the precipitation reaction of dissolving Si, has therefore hindered the charge/discharge reaction.
Embodiment 2
In the present embodiment, the acid content of research nonaqueous electrolyte.Use the negative pole of battery 9, produce cylindric lithium rechargeable battery in the mode identical with embodiment 1.More particularly, as shown in table 2ly produce battery 20~25 by changing (ii) drying condition of negative pole (190 ℃ following vacuumize 12 hours).Table 2 has provided the electrolyte acid content that records and the characteristic of battery.

Battery 21 Negative pole (ii) Dry 10 hours of 60 ℃ of hot-airs 189 1880 0.89 70 66
Battery 22 Negative pole (ii) Dry 10 hours of 190 ℃ of hot-airs 145 1890 0.88 75 78
Battery 23 Negative pole (ii) 60 ℃ of vacuumize 10 hours 102 1910 0.91 82 81
Battery 24 Negative pole (ii) 190 ℃ of vacuumize 12 hours 56 1910 0.9 80 80
Battery 25 Negative pole (ii) 190 ℃ of vacuumize 48 hours 44 1820 0.88 81 61
Clearly show as table 2, stop discharge potential with respect to Li/Li even work as negative pole +For 1.5V or when lower, if the acid content of nonaqueous electrolyte greater than 200ppm, recovery rate and the capability retention behind the storage is all low under the discharge condition, as the situation of battery 20.This may be because near a large amount of hydrofluoric acid the negative pole are tending towards making the reaction of reaction equation (1) to carry out to the right, has promoted the solubilizing reaction of Si and relevant therewith film to form reaction thus.
Battery 25 shows the capability retention lower than battery 22~24 after 100 circulations.When the Si content of the nonaqueous electrolyte of battery 25 is measured, find that it is lower than the lower limit of measurement.In addition, when observing the negative active core-shell material surface, find that the surface is very flat and smooth.On the other hand, for battery 20~24, the surface of finding negative active core-shell material has small concavo-convex, and these concavo-convexly become big along with the increase of acid content.Particularly, dark depression is arranged for battery 20~22.This shows that a large amount of Si has taken place partly to be dissolved.
The negative active core-shell material surface of battery 25 has recorded through X ray Photoelectric Spectrometer (XPS) and has ascribed SiO to 2Binding energy.This result shows, when acid content after a little while, the SiO of outermost surface 2Can not be dissolved.Further, because the conversion zone of negative active core-shell material is little, so electrochemical reaction can not be carried out smoothly.May be owing to this reason, the cycle characteristics of battery 25 (that is: electrochemical reaction repeats the characteristic that the back obtains) descends.
Embodiment 3
In the present embodiment, the influence of research negative pole impurities.Identical in (ii) of the preparation method of employed negative active core-shell material and negative pole in the present embodiment, except employed ball in the Mechanical Method alloying is made with S45C steel (Fe-0.45%C steel), rather than use stainless steel, will increase to the operating time 80 hours, 100 hours or 150 hours.The wide particle diameter that the alloy that obtains has 0.5 μ m~80 μ m distributes.With sieve (10 μ m are following) they are sieved, obtaining maximum particle diameter is that 8 μ m, average grain diameter are the alloy material of 5 μ m.The alloy powder that obtains like this is called alloy " b ", alloy " c " and alloy " d ".
With the impurity of these alloys of ICP spectrophotometer " b "~" d ", find that the transition metal except that Fe is lower than the lower limit of measurement.Fe content is 680ppm in alloy " b ", is 980ppm in alloy " c ", is 1320ppm in alloy " d ".
Alloy " b "~" d " is through X-ray diffraction analysis, and their XRD distribution is similar with alloy " a ".All these alloys all are the crystallite shape, and to calculate crystal grain (crystallite) size by the Schuler equation from the half-breadth of highest peak be 11~18nm.The particle of inferring alloy " b "~" d " has Si single-phase (A phase) and TiSi 2Phase (B phase).In addition, with transmission electron microscope(TEM) (TEM) these alloys " b "~" d " observed, find that they have an amorphous domain, to comprise that size is about the Si of the crystal grain of 10nm (crystallite) single-phase and comprise that size is about the TiSi of the crystal grain of 10~20nm (crystallite) 2Phase.
Use these alloys,, form the negative pole mixture layer, and the Li paper tinsel is attached to the surface of negative pole mixture layer, to cover 1/8 negative pole zone in the every side of current-collector sheet material in the mode (ii) identical with negative pole.
Use these negative poles, produce cylindric lithium rechargeable battery 26~28, estimate in mode same as the previously described embodiments in the mode identical with battery 9.The acid content that table 3 has provided the result and recorded from these batteries.

These results show, add LiBOB that concentration is not higher than 5 weight % in the nonaqueous electrolyte and can improve the recovery rate behind the storage and the capability retention after the charge/discharge cycle under the discharge condition.This may be because LiBOB has captured hydrofluoric acid, has suppressed its reaction, has suppressed the dissolving of Si thus, and battery behavior is improved.When the addition of LiBOB surpasses 5 weight %, the capability retention after the charge/discharge cycle is tending towards descending.This may be because excessive LiBOB has improved the viscosity of nonaqueous electrolyte, has hindered moving of lithium ion thus.These results show that the upper limit of LiBOB amount is preferably 5 weight %.
