Description

Polymer composition for nonaqueous secondary battery and nonaqueous secondary battery
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a polymer composition for a nonaqueous secondary battery and a nonaqueous secondary battery.
Background
Conventionally, as a method for manufacturing an electrode used in an electrochemical device such as a lithium ion secondary battery, the following method has been proposed: the electrode layer is formed on the current collector by adding a binder, a thickener, or the like to the electrode active material, applying the resulting liquid composition to the surface of the current collector, and then drying the composition. Here, a styrene-butadiene copolymer latex is known as a binder which has high adhesion to a metal constituting a current collector and can form an electrode layer having high flexibility. The binder functions to improve the adhesion between the electrode layer containing the active material and the current collector or separator, but the adhesion between the copolymer latex and the current collector or separator may be insufficient. If the adhesion is insufficient, the charge-discharge cycle characteristics of the secondary battery tend to be impaired.
In view of the above, patent document 1 proposes to use, as a binder, a granular polymer formed of a polymer capable of swelling with respect to an electrolyte solution by a predetermined swelling degree, and having a core-shell structure including a core portion and a shell portion partially covering an outer surface of the core portion.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
According to the binder described in patent document 1, it is considered that a lithium ion secondary battery excellent in adhesion to an electrolyte and low-temperature output characteristics can be obtained. On the other hand, the present inventors have found that the core-shell structure described in patent document 1 has insufficient barrier properties of the shell portion, and as a result, there is room for improvement in suppression of swelling in the electrolyte. Further, it is difficult to achieve a high level of both of these properties according to the technique described in patent document 1, because the swelling in the electrolyte is suppressed and the flexibility is ensured.
The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a polymer composition for a nonaqueous secondary battery and a nonaqueous secondary battery which can exhibit good cycle characteristics and initial capacity.

From this point of view, the electrolyte swelling degree is preferably 1.3 times or less, more preferably 1.2 times or less.

In the polymer particles of the present embodiment, the average particle diameter is preferably 50nm to 800nm, more preferably 100nm to 700nm, and even more preferably 200nm to 600nm, from the viewpoint of contributing to stress relaxation.
