Specific embodiment
The details of other embodiments are comprised in detailed description of the invention and attached drawing.Advantages and features of the invention And the method for realizing them can only be defined with the embodiment etc. being described in detail later with reference to the accompanying drawings.However, the present invention and unlimited Due to embodiments disclosed below etc., and can be embodied with mutually different various ways, a part in the following description with In the case that another part contacts, not only include the case where directly contacting, be also included among it via other media connection Situation.In addition, part unrelated to the invention is omitted in order to keep explanation of the invention clear in attached drawing, in the whole instruction In, identical reference numeral is imparted to similar part.Hereinafter, referring to attached drawing, the present invention will be described.
The embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of negative-electrode active material for secondary battery that expansion rate is improved and contains The secondary cell of the negative-electrode active material for secondary battery.In particular, embodiment through the invention, can obtain secondary cell The negative electrode active material for being 25% or more with the decrystallized degree in alloy endobasal-body shape fine crystal region in negative electrode active material.
In general, after chemical conversion (Formation) process, measurement is initial in the case where studying silicon systems negative electrode active material Circulation full charge when electrode thickness compared with initial stage electrode thickness (injection electrolyte before electrode thickness) with which kind of journey Degree increases.That is 1 later expansion rate of circulation is measured, but this refers to occlude the same of lithium in the negative active material When the volume change that generates.
However, in an embodiment of the present invention, being charged and discharged repeatedly between 50 circulations of not above-mentioned 1 circulation of measurement Thickness afterwards, the expansion rate after measuring 50 circulations compared with initial stage electrode thickness.It is swollen after 50 circulations in this way The measurement of swollen rate, the side reaction that the volume change as caused by the occlusion of lithium, releasing can be monitored and occurred by active material surface And cause SEI (solid electrolyte interface or the interphase: Solid Electrolyte accumulated while electrolyte decomposition Interface or Interphase) layer generation degree.
It is usual as the metal lithium electrode to electrode when making characteristic of the coin-like half cells to evaluate silicon systems negative material It can start to deteriorate and impact result after 50 circulations.Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, by being recycled at 50 times The variation that Coin-shaped battery disintegration is measured to electrode thickness after the evaluation in service life considers not only and is caused by simple lithium occlusion Initial stage pole plate expansion, it is also contemplated that as 50 times later circulation during side reaction layer growth caused by pole plate expand, form For the index of negative electrode active material performance evaluation.Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, it was found that the expansion rate after 50 circulations Variation be technically with suitable meaning Performance Evaluating Indexes, hereby it is possible to derive optimal composition range.
In general, the formation charging stage generates highly stable SEI layer, initial stage charging in the early stage for graphite The volume change of pole plate is in 20% horizontal generation below after stage, therefore the SEI layer of charging stage at initial stage does not become significantly Change and shows the trend for maintaining original state.However, for silicon systems negative electrode active material, due to the volume change of pole plate Greatly, so initial stage separates in the SEI layer that active material surface generates, with stylish active matter when active material is shunk The exposure of matter surface in the electrolytic solution, and generates new SEI layer on above-mentioned surface in expansion next time, the phenomenon continue repeatedly into Row, to develop very thick SEI layer i.e. side reaction layer.
The side reaction layer for being deposited in active material surface plays the role of resistor body in secondary cell and can hinder lithium It is mobile, in order to form side reaction layer, electrolyte is consumed, so as to cause to shorten battery life such problems.In addition, by The increase of electrode thickness caused by the development of side reaction layer can make the jellyroll (jelly-roll) of battery that physical deformation occur, can Current convergence can be generated the phenomenon that making battery rapid degradation on the pole plate of area.
For existing silicon alloy material, while charging, discharging repeatedly, inside active material, base Body (Matrix) is kept intact and only silicon part shrinks, expands, thus generates cracking between matrix and silicon sometimes.This When, there is electrolyte and is permeated into cracking and generate the side reaction layer of electrolyte in the inside of active material and make active material The phenomenon that dispersion, observes the sharply expansion of electrode thickness after 50 circulations at this time.
The phenomenon that this phenomenon is not in when being the electrode thickness measurement after 1 circulation, even and suggesting Substance with excellent initial stage expansion rate, when being actually used in battery, it is also possible to cause inside battery resistance increase with And the various problems such as exhaustion of electrolyte.Therefore, the pole plate expansion after 50 circulations that the present embodiment proposes is in exploitation silicon systems Evaluation index highly useful in the expansion, contraction with the evaluation of side reaction phenomenon of active material when negative electrode active material.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the size based on the expansion rate after recycling 50 times is used for the embodiment of the present invention The composition of negative electrode active material metallic compound and studied, with derive with form change optimum expansion rate model It encloses.
On the other hand, in an embodiment of the present invention, make the expansion of lithium there are fine crystal region on the matrix of alloy It dissipates and is easier.Moreover, ratio existing for such fine crystal region can be indicated by decrystallized degree, it is non-by being formed with matrix shape Crystalline region domain is able to suppress volume expansion of the secondary cell in charging.
It is a feature of the present invention that the decrystallized degree in matrix shape fine crystal region exists with 25% or more.In above-mentioned model Enclose it is interior formed decrystallized when spending, the diffusion of lithium becomes very easy.Moreover, when in the range of such decrystallized degree, Excellent expansion rate is similarly shown after 50 circulations, thus, it can be known that when above-mentioned material is used as negative electrode active material, charging When volume expansion be inhibited.
In an embodiment of the present invention, when the rotation angle ゜ range of ゜~100 of 2 θ=20 of the XRD spectrum of alloy, amorphous Change degree is preferably 25% or more.In the range of above-mentioned decrystallized degree, volume expansion is inhibited and can make electrical isolation well It generates.
The calculating of decrystallized degree used in the present invention is as described below, is shown in Fig. 3, thus can find out decrystallized degree.
Decrystallized degree (%)=((entire area-crystallization area)) ÷ entire area)
In an embodiment of the present invention, decrystallized degree height refers to that fine crystal region is more, therefore, above-mentioned fine when charging Lithium ion is accumulated by buffer function in crystal region, so as to obtain can inhibit volume expansion factor effect.
In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, expansion rate after 50 circulations are provided with 70~150% range and by The negative-electrode active material for secondary battery that following formulas is constituted.

[embodiment 1]
Hereinafter, referring to embodiment, the present invention will be described in more detail.
In the present embodiment, above-mentioned Si in terms of atom % (at%) with 60~70% range, Ti and Fe have 9~ 14% range.On the other hand, above-mentioned Al, which has, is greater than 1% and the range less than 20%, but preferably 5~19% range. Most preferably 10~19% range.
The compositing range of examples and comparative examples of the present invention is shown in following table 1.On the other hand, following table 2 is related to Evaluation to the negative electrode active material of the composition based on above-mentioned table 1 particularly illustrates the 1CY- charge and discharge of embodiment and comparative example Amount, 1CY- efficiency, 1CY- pole plate capacity, 50CY- discharge capacity, 50CY- efficiency, 50CY- capacity maintenance rate, 50CY- expansion rate, Decrystallized degree (%).To the art-recognized meanings of 2 projects of table, will carry out aftermentioned.
In an embodiment of the present invention, 50 charge and discharge are repeated, measure projects.The mode of above-mentioned charge and discharge according to It is well known generally in the art that the charge and discharge system of lithium secondary electron active material is carried out.
Firstly, in 1~embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention 5, forming in the range of being calculated as 5~19% by Al with at% It carries out, comparative example 1 indicates the case where not adding Al, and comparative example 2 indicates the case where adding 1% Al.Comparative example 3 indicates addition The case where 20% Al.
On the other hand, it for Ti, Fe, is bonded with Si and forms Si2Intermetallic compound as TiFe.Therefore, When the content of Ti, Fe are high, Si is consumed in order to form intermetallic compound with Si, the capacity reduction of every g active material occurs Phenomenon, at this point, the content of the Si put into must be very high if to obtain 1000mAh/g or more.Usually make containing a large amount of When for semimetallic Si, the viscosity of molten metal is high and the trend that quenching solidification operability is deteriorated occur when melting, therefore best The content of Si is maintained to the range within 70% as far as possible.Accordingly, it is considered to intermetallic compound is formed to Si, Ti, Fe's Content is preferably more than 14%.
According to following table 1 and table 2 it is found that in an embodiment of the present invention, derive most keeping Ti, Fe related to expansion rate During good alloying component, deriving preferably makes the content of Ti, Fe be reduced to 14% or less.
In addition, Al preferably has greater than 1% and the range less than 20% in terms of at%.Containing 1% or so Al when, can be tight Important place causes the expansion after 50 circulations, occurs the scattered phenomenon of active material at this time, thus not preferred.In addition, Al is When 20%, because of Si: guiding discharge capacity is sharply reduced due to the variation of matrix material score, thus not preferred.
In an embodiment of the present invention, deriving when in terms of atom % (at%) with 5~19% range has most The range of preferred expansion rate, it is known that the reduction of discharge capacity will not be caused in the range.Al is most preferably 10~19%, The range of most preferred 50 circulations expansion rate can be obtained in the range, and then will not generate the reduction of discharge capacity.
According to following table 2 and 1~embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention 5, addition Al can be identified through and activity can be improved The performance of substance.In particular, when knowing addition Al discharge capacity can be significantly improved, can reverse efficiency, expansion characteristics.On the other hand, For the comparative example 1 for being not added with Al, 50 times circulation expansion characteristics show the value greater than 200%.In addition, for comparative example 2 For, same as when being added to 1% Al, 50 times circulation expansion characteristics are greater than 200%.On the other hand, for being added to 20% Al comparative example 3 for, 50 times circulation is expanded to 40.2%, very low, but discharge capacity writes and reduces at this time, therefore there are two The problem of performance improvement effect of primary cell negative electrode active material reduces instead.
Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, according to following Tables 1 and 2s, it is known that by adding in the negative active material Add Al, discharge capacity can be significantly improved, can reverse efficiency, expansion characteristics.In addition, knowing to make the additive amount of Al at this time in terms of at% For the range at least more than 1% and less than 20%, optimal performance is reflected.In addition, for Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it is known that Decrystallized degree (%) is less than 25%, therefore, it is known that in an embodiment of the present invention, preferred decrystallized in the composition range of Al Degree is at least 25% or more.
Figure 1A, Figure 1B, Fig. 1 C and Fig. 2 are swollen namely for showing comparative example 2, after 50 circulations that embodiment 5 is related to The macrograph figure of swollen rate characteristic.In Figure 1A, Figure 1B, Fig. 1 C, it can confirm that form the part of the shape of particle of light tone is matrix, Dark-coloured background parts are Si, and at the initial stage before life test, similar to Fig. 1 C is the shape that matrix is assembled well, but repeatedly After the charge and discharge for carrying out 50 circulations, the volume of the part Si is become larger, and the light-colored particles for constituting matrix constantly disperse.
In fig. 1 c, although be equally 50 circulations, matrix is unrelated with the contraction of silicon, expansion, not mutually Disperse and assembles well.The phenomenon that active material matrix disperses brings sharply increasing for the expansion numerical value after 50 circulations.Picture When Comparative Examples 1 and 2 adds 1% Al below like that, it is expanded to 200% or more after 50 circulations, shows very serious, phase Instead, for the embodiment 5 for not observing active material dispersion phenomenon, it is known that the expansion rate after 50 circulations is about 78%, Very excellent, life characteristic is also very excellent.

Firstly, the active material evaluation in the embodiment of the present invention is carried out by making the pole plate of following compositions. Silicon alloy active material is production conductivity additive (carbon black series): the ratio of binder (organic system, PAI binder) is The pole plate of the composition of 86.6%:3.4%:10% and evaluated, the slurry being scattered in nmp solvent is made, using scraper It is dry in 110 DEG C of baking oven Celsius after the slurry is coated on copper foil collector by mode, at 210 DEG C, in an ar atmosphere Be heat-treated within 1 hour, solidifies binder.
Use pole plate made by the above method and make Coin-shaped battery using lithium metal as to electrode, following Under the conditions of carry out formation process.
Charging (insertion lithium): 0.1C, 0.005V, 0.05C cut-off
Electric discharge (releases lithium): 0.1C, 1.5V cut-off
After formation process, loop test is carried out under the following conditions.
Charging: 0.5C, 0.01V, 0.05C cut-off
Electric discharge: 0.5C, 1.0V cut-off
In above-mentioned table 2,1CY- charging (mAh/g) is the formation charging capacity of every g active material, is in assembling Coin shape electricity Chi Hou measures the quantity of electric charge as the charging stage in the formation process of the 1st charging stage, by it divided by Coin-shaped battery pole plate It is worth obtained by the weight of contained active material.
1CY- electric discharge (mAh/g) is the chemical conversion discharge capacity of every g active material, is the measurement after assembling Coin-shaped battery As discharge regime in the formation process of the 1st discharge regime the quantity of electric charge and by its divided by Coin-shaped battery pole plate contained by work Property substance weight obtained by be worth.The capacity of every g in the present embodiment refers to that the discharge capacity measured at this time i.e. 0.1C chemical conversion is put Capacitance.
1CY- efficiency is as follows: percentage being used to indicate as discharge capacity in the formation process of the 1st charging and discharging processes divided by filling It is worth obtained by capacitance.In general, graphite has 94% high initial efficiency, silicon alloy has 80~90% initial efficiency, oxygen SiClx (SiOx) is maximum to have 70% horizontal initial efficiency value.
It is due to producing following phenomenon that the initial efficiency of any substance, which is respectively less than 100%: when charging in formation process most The lithium just put into is irreversibly captured or is consumed due to the side reactions such as SEI is formed, in the early stage when low efficiency, it may occur that by The loss of negative electrode active material and positive active material must be put into this fractional additional, therefore when designing battery, it is important Be initial efficiency height.
Silicon alloy used in the embodiment of the present invention has 85% initial efficiency value, due to conductivity additive and glues Knot agent also irreversibly consumes lithium in the early stage, so the initial efficiency value of actual active material itself is about 90%.
50CY- electric discharge is the discharge capacity of every g active material in 50 circulations, survey when being the electric discharge in the 50th circulation The fixed quantity of electric charge divided by obtained by active material weight be worth, the 50th time circulation include formation process after with 0.5C carry out circulation Formation process in test.If active material deteriorates in loop test progress, by the numerical value lower than initial stage discharge capacity It indicates, if indicated almost without deterioration by the numerical value similar with initial stage discharge capacity.
50CY- efficiency is to indicate value of the discharge capacity relative to the ratio of charge volume in 50 circulations with %.50CY- efficiency is got over It is high, it is meant that the loss of lithium caused by the side reaction and other deteriorations in the circulation is fewer.In general, 50CY- efficiency is 99.5% When above, it is determined as very good value, since the distribution of Coin-shaped battery assembling in laboratory environments can not be ignored, so Also it is judged as good value when being 98% or more.
50CY- maintenance is other than circulation when carrying out formation process, when followed by 0.5C circulation, with the 1st time On the basis of the discharge capacity of circulation, value obtained by the ratio of discharge capacity when indicating to recycle for the 50th time with %.
It can be found that the ratio that 50CY- is maintained is higher, the gradient of battery life is closer to ratio horizontal, that 50CY- is maintained When being 90% or less, it is meant that occur to deteriorate and discharge capacity reduction in circulation progress.50CY- is had also appeared in section Example The ratio of maintenance be higher than 100% the case where, but judge this is because the underway service life hardly happen deterioration, simultaneously addition Ground shows the silicon particle being activated.
50CY- expansion is obtained by value added of the thickness relative to the thickness of initial stage pole plate after indicating 50 circulations with % Value.The measuring method of 50CY- expansion as described in detail below.
Firstly, the thickness of measurement initial stage collector.Thereafter to being cut into circular shape in order to be assembled into Coin-shaped battery After the pole plate of state measures its thickness using micrometer, subtracts the thickness of collector and calculate the thickness of only active material.
Then, after 50 loop tests, Coin-shaped battery is disintegrated from hothouse, only isolates negative plates Afterwards, the electrolyte for remaining on pole plate is cleaned using DEC solution, is utilized micrometer to measure thickness after dry, is subtracted collector Thickness and calculate circulation after active material thickness.That is, by the thickness of active material after 50 circulations relative to initial activity Value obtained by the value added of the thickness of substance is indicated divided by the thickness of initial activity substance and with percentage is 50CY- expansion.
