Description

  The present invention relates to a negative electrode containing a binder and a battery using the same.

  In recent years, many portable electronic devices such as a camera-integrated VTR (video tape recorder), a mobile phone, or a laptop computer have appeared, and their size and weight have been reduced. Accordingly, as a power source for these electronic devices, research and development for improving the energy density of batteries, particularly secondary batteries, are being actively promoted. Among them, lithium ion secondary batteries using a carbon material for the negative electrode are widely put into practical use because a large energy density can be obtained as compared with conventional lead batteries and nickel cadmium batteries.

Recently, with the improvement in performance of portable electronic devices, further improvement in capacity has been demanded, and it is considered to use tin (Sn) or silicon (Si) instead of carbon material as the negative electrode active material. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

In addition, it may be left in places such as a window of strong sunlight even in the interior of a car, a cafe or an office.

  In such an environment, an insulating film is formed on the negative electrode surface mainly due to the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte, and when a binder such as polyvinylidene fluoride is used in the negative electrode, gas is released from the binder. As a result, hydrofluoric acid and trifluorobenzene are generated, an excessive insulating film is formed on the negative electrode surface, and the cycle characteristics at high temperatures are degraded.

  In addition, tin or silicon expands and contracts with charge and discharge, pulverizes, reduces current collection, or increases the surface area, which promotes the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte and produces an insulating film. There was a problem that the cycle characteristics would deteriorate.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a battery capable of improving cycle characteristics even under a high temperature environment and a negative electrode used therefor.

  In general, polyvinylidene fluoride containing the structural unit shown in Chemical Formula 1 as a main component reacts as shown in Chemical Formula 4 and is cyclized to produce trifluorobenzene. Since this trifluorobenzene causes deterioration of the cycle characteristics, it is preferable to suppress the deterioration of the cycle characteristics, for example, by increasing the temperature region where the cyclization reaction occurs. Specifically, in the molecular structure in which the structural unit represented by Chemical Formula 1 is polymerized, if the proportion of the structural units represented by Chemical Formula 2 and Chemical Formula 3, particularly the structural unit represented by Chemical Formula 3, is increased, the cyclization reaction will occur. It is thought that it is hard to happen.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a mass chromatogram composed of molecular ions 132 or fragment ions 132 obtained by pyrolyzing the negative electrode 10 at elevated temperature and analyzing the generated gas components by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry. FIG. 3 shows an example of a gas chromatogram.

If the ratio of the integral value is within these ranges, the proportion of the structural units shown in Chemical Formula 2 and Chemical Formula 3, especially the structural unit shown in Chemical Formula 3, is large, and the degassing reaction under high temperature environment This is because it is sufficiently suppressed and the conductivity is higher.

  The integrated value here means that in the gas chromatogram or mass chromatogram, x = each temperature, y = 0, where x is the horizontal axis (temperature axis) and y is the vertical axis (intensity axis). Means the area of the region surrounded by the outer periphery of the peak. For example, in the gas chromatogram, the integrated value obtained by integrating the range of 420 ° C. or higher and 680 ° C. or lower in the second region represents the area of the hatched region in the gas chromatogram shown in FIG. . That is, x = 420, x = 680, y = 0 and the area surrounded by the outer periphery of the peak.

  The proportion of the structural units shown in Chemical Formula 2 or Chemical Formula 3 in the binder can be increased by, for example, heating polyvinylidene fluoride in an alkaline atmosphere.

  The negative electrode 10 can be manufactured as follows, for example.

  First, for example, a negative electrode material and a binder are mixed to prepare a negative electrode mixture, and dispersed in a solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone to prepare a negative electrode mixture slurry. Next, this negative electrode mixture slurry is applied to the negative electrode current collector 22A, dried to remove the solvent, and then compression molded by a roll press or the like to form the negative electrode active material layer 12. Thereby, the negative electrode 10 shown in FIG. 1 is obtained.

  This negative electrode 10 is used for a secondary battery as follows, for example. Note that in this embodiment, the case where lithium is used as an electrode reactant is described.

(First secondary battery)
FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional structure of the secondary battery. This secondary battery is a so-called lithium ion secondary battery in which the capacity of the negative electrode is represented by a capacity component due to insertion and extraction of lithium. This secondary battery is a so-called cylindrical type, in which a strip-shaped positive electrode 31 and a strip-shaped negative electrode 10 are stacked and wound inside a substantially hollow cylindrical battery can 21 via a separator 32. A rotating electrode body 30 is provided. The battery can 21 is made of, for example, iron plated with nickel, and has one end closed and the other end open. Inside the battery can 21, an electrolytic solution that is a liquid electrolyte is injected and impregnated in the separator 32. In addition, a pair of insulating plates 22 and 23 are respectively disposed perpendicular to the winding peripheral surface so as to sandwich the winding electrode body 30.

  At the open end of the battery can 21, a battery lid 24, a safety valve mechanism 25 and a thermal resistance element (PTC element) 26 provided inside the battery lid 24 are interposed via a gasket 27. It is attached by caulking, and the inside of the battery can 21 is sealed. The battery lid 24 is made of the same material as the battery can 21, for example. The safety valve mechanism 25 is electrically connected to the battery lid 24 via the heat sensitive resistance element 26, and the disk plate 25A is reversed when the internal pressure of the battery exceeds a certain level due to an internal short circuit or external heating. Thus, the electrical connection between the battery lid 24 and the wound electrode body 30 is cut off. When the temperature rises, the heat-sensitive resistor element 26 limits the current by increasing the resistance value, and prevents abnormal heat generation due to a large current. The gasket 27 is made of, for example, an insulating material, and asphalt is applied to the surface.

  The wound electrode body 30 is wound around a center pin 33, for example. A positive electrode lead 34 made of aluminum or the like is connected to the positive electrode 31 of the spirally wound electrode body 30, and a negative electrode lead 35 made of nickel or the like is connected to the negative electrode 10. The positive electrode lead 34 is welded to the safety valve mechanism 25 to be electrically connected to the battery lid 24, and the negative electrode lead 35 is welded to and electrically connected to the battery can 21.

  FIG. 6 shows an enlarged part of the spirally wound electrode body 30 shown in FIG. The negative electrode 10 has the above-described configuration. Thereby, the degassing reaction in a high temperature environment is suppressed, and the conductivity is improved. In FIG. 6, the negative electrode active material layer 12 is represented as being formed on both surfaces of the negative electrode current collector 11.

  The positive electrode 31 has, for example, a structure in which a positive electrode active material layer 31B is provided on both surfaces or one surface of a positive electrode current collector 31A having a pair of opposed surfaces. The positive electrode current collector 31A is made of, for example, a metal foil such as an aluminum foil. The positive electrode active material layer 31B includes, for example, any one or more of positive electrode materials capable of occluding and releasing lithium as a positive electrode active material, and artificial graphite or carbon black as necessary. And a binder such as polyvinylidene fluoride.

Examples of the positive electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium include metal sulfides or metal oxides that do not contain lithium, such as TiS ₂ , MoS ₂ , NbSe _{2, and} V ₂ O _5, and a chemical formula of Li _x M1O _2. (M1 represents one or more transition metals. X is different depending on the charge / discharge state of the battery, and generally 0.05 ≦ x ≦ 1.10.) Or a specific polymer etc. are mentioned. As the positive electrode material, one kind may be used alone, or two or more kinds may be mixed and used.

Among these, in the chemical formula Li _x M1O ₂ , a lithium composite oxide containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel, and manganese as the transition metal M1 is preferable. Specifically, LiCoO ₂ , LiNiO ₂ , Li _x Ni _y Co _1-y O ₂ (the value of y is 0.7 <y <1.0), LiMn ₂ O ₄ having a spinel structure, or the like. And lithium manganese composite oxide. This is because these lithium composite oxides can obtain a high voltage and a high energy density.

  In this secondary battery, the electrochemical equivalent of the negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium is larger than the electrochemical equivalent of the positive electrode 31, and lithium metal is deposited on the negative electrode 10 during charging. It is supposed not to.

  The separator 32 is made of, for example, a porous film made of synthetic resin such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, or polyethylene, or a porous film made of ceramic, and has a structure in which two or more kinds of porous films are laminated. May be.

  The separator 32 is impregnated with an electrolytic solution that is a liquid electrolyte. This electrolytic solution contains, for example, a solvent and an electrolyte salt dissolved in this solvent.

  Examples of the solvent include propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, 1,2-diethoxyethane, γ-butyrolactone, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, 1,3-dioxolane, Examples include 4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane, diethyl ether, sulfolane, methyl sulfolane, acetonitrile, propionitrile, anisole, acetic acid ester, butyric acid ester or propionic acid ester. As the solvent, one kind may be used alone, or two or more kinds may be mixed and used.

For example, LiClO ₄ , LiAsF ₆ , LiPF ₆ , LiBF ₄ , LiB (C ₆ H ₅ ) ₄ , CH ₃ SO ₃ Li, CF ₃ SO ₃ Li, LiCl, or LiBr is used as the electrolyte salt. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  For example, the secondary battery can be manufactured as follows.

  First, for example, the negative electrode 10 is produced as described above. Next, for example, a positive electrode material and, if necessary, a conductive agent and a binder are mixed to prepare a positive electrode mixture, and the positive electrode mixture is dispersed in a solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. A mixture slurry is prepared. Next, this positive electrode mixture slurry is applied to the positive electrode current collector 31A, dried, and compression molded to form the positive electrode active material layer 31B, thereby producing the positive electrode 31.

  Subsequently, the positive electrode lead 34 is attached to the positive electrode current collector 31A by welding or the like, and the negative electrode lead 35 is attached to the negative electrode current collector 11 by welding or the like. After that, the positive electrode 31 and the negative electrode 10 are stacked and wound via the separator 32, and the tip of the positive electrode lead 34 is welded to the safety valve mechanism 25 and the tip of the negative electrode lead 35 is welded to the battery can 21. The wound positive electrode 31 and negative electrode 10 are sandwiched between a pair of insulating plates 22 and 23 and housed inside the battery can 21. Next, for example, an electrolytic solution is injected into the battery can 21 and impregnated in the separator 32. After that, the battery lid 24, the safety valve mechanism 25, and the heat sensitive resistance element 26 are fixed to the opening end of the battery can 21 by caulking through a gasket 27. Thereby, the secondary battery shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is formed.

  In this secondary battery, when charged, lithium ions are released from the positive electrode active material layer 31 </ b> B and inserted in the negative electrode active material layer 12 through the electrolytic solution impregnated in the separator 32. Next, when discharging is performed, lithium ions are released from the negative electrode active material layer 12 and inserted in the positive electrode active material layer 31B through the electrolytic solution impregnated in the separator 32. In this secondary battery, the negative electrode 10 contains a binder containing the structural unit shown in Chemical formula 1, the structural unit shown in Chemical formula 2, and the structural unit shown in Chemical formula 3, and Since the proportion of the structural unit shown in FIG. 3, especially the structural unit shown in Chemical Formula 3, is increased, the degassing reaction in a high temperature environment is suppressed and the conductivity is improved.

  As described above, according to the secondary battery according to the present embodiment, the negative electrode 10 includes the structural unit represented by Chemical Formula 1, the structural unit represented by Chemical Formula 2, and the structural unit represented by Chemical Formula 3. In a gas chromatogram obtained by pyrolysis gas chromatograph mass spectrometry by thermal pyrolysis with temperature increase, the ratio of the integral value B to the integral value A (integral value B / integral value A) should be 5% or less, or In a mass chromatogram composed of molecular ions 132 or fragment ions 132 obtained by pyrolysis gas chromatograph mass spectrometry by temperature-enhanced pyrolysis, the ratio of the integrated value D to the integrated value C (integrated value D / integrated value C) is 25% or less. Therefore, the proportion of the constituent units shown in Chemical Formula 2 or Chemical Formula 3 can be increased. Therefore, separation of gas components and the like from the binder is suppressed, generation of an excessive insulating film in the negative electrode 10 can be suppressed, and conductivity can be improved. In addition, cycle characteristics can be improved.

  Further, if the ratio of the integral value B to the integral value A is set to 3% or less, or the ratio of the integral value D to the integral value C is set to 15% or less, a higher effect can be obtained.

  In particular, when the negative electrode 10 contains a negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium and containing at least one of a metal element and a metalloid element as a constituent element, or a constituent element of tin or silicon It is effective when it contains the material which has as.

(Secondary secondary battery)
In the second secondary battery, the capacity of the negative electrode includes a capacity component due to insertion and extraction of lithium and a capacity component due to precipitation and dissolution of lithium, and is expressed by the sum thereof.

  This secondary battery has the same configuration and effects as the first secondary battery except that the configuration of the negative electrode active material layer is different, and can be manufactured in the same manner. Therefore, here, description will be made using the same reference numerals with reference to FIGS. Detailed descriptions of the same parts are omitted.

  For example, the negative electrode active material layer 12 has an open circuit voltage (that is, a battery voltage) in the charging process by making the charge capacity of the negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium smaller than the charge capacity of the positive electrode 31. When lithium is lower than the overcharge voltage, lithium metal begins to deposit on the negative electrode 10. Therefore, in this secondary battery, both the negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium and lithium metal function as a negative electrode active material, and the negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium is lithium metal. It is a base material for precipitation. The negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium is preferably a carbon material capable of inserting and extracting lithium.

  The overcharge voltage refers to the open circuit voltage when the battery is overcharged. For example, the “lithium secondary battery” is one of the guidelines established by the Japan Storage Battery Industry Association (Battery Industry Association). Refers to a voltage that is higher than the open circuit voltage of a “fully charged” battery as defined and defined in the “Safety Evaluation Criteria Guidelines” (SBA G1101). In other words, it refers to a voltage higher than the open circuit voltage after charging using the charging method, standard charging method, or recommended charging method used when determining the nominal capacity of each battery.

  Accordingly, this secondary battery is similar to the lithium ion secondary battery in that a negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium is used for the negative electrode 10, and lithium metal is deposited on the negative electrode 10. In this respect, it is the same as the lithium metal secondary battery, but by depositing lithium metal on the negative electrode material capable of occluding and releasing lithium, high energy density can be obtained, cycle characteristics and The quick charge characteristics can be improved.

  In this secondary battery, when charged, lithium ions are released from the positive electrode 31 and are first inserted into the negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium contained in the negative electrode 10 through the electrolytic solution. When charging is further continued, lithium metal begins to deposit on the surface of the negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium in a state where the open circuit voltage is lower than the overcharge voltage. After that, lithium metal continues to deposit on the negative electrode 10 until charging is completed. Next, when discharging is performed, first, lithium metal deposited on the negative electrode 10 is eluted as ions, and is occluded in the positive electrode 31 through the electrolytic solution. When the discharge is further continued, lithium ions stored in the negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium in the negative electrode 10 are released and inserted into the positive electrode 31 through the electrolytic solution. In this secondary battery, the negative electrode 10 contains a binder containing the structural unit shown in Chemical formula 1, the structural unit shown in Chemical formula 2, and the structural unit shown in Chemical formula 3, and Chemical formula 2 and Chemical formula 3 Since the proportion of the structural units shown in (4), especially the structural units shown in Chemical Formula 3, is increased, the degassing reaction in a high temperature environment is suppressed and the conductivity is improved.

(Third secondary battery)
FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the third secondary battery.

  The positive electrode lead 41 and the negative electrode lead 42 are led out from the inside of the exterior member 50 to the outside, for example, in the same direction. The positive electrode lead 41 and the negative electrode lead 42 are each made of a metal material such as aluminum, copper, nickel, or stainless steel, and each have a thin plate shape or a mesh shape.

  The exterior member 50 is made of, for example, a rectangular aluminum laminated film in which a nylon film, an aluminum foil, and a polyethylene film are bonded together in this order. The exterior member 50 is disposed, for example, so that the polyethylene film side and the wound electrode body 40 face each other, and the outer edge portions are in close contact with each other by fusion or an adhesive. An adhesive film 51 for preventing the entry of outside air is inserted between the exterior member 50 and the positive electrode lead 41 and the negative electrode lead 42. The adhesion film 51 is made of a material having adhesion to the positive electrode lead 41 and the negative electrode lead 42, for example, a polyolefin resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, modified polyethylene, or modified polypropylene.

  The exterior member 50 may be made of a laminated film having another structure, a polymer film such as polypropylene, or a metal film instead of the above-described aluminum laminated film.

  FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional structure taken along line II of the spirally wound electrode body 40 shown in FIG. The wound electrode body 40 is formed by laminating the positive electrode 43 and the negative electrode 10 via the separator 44 and the electrolyte layer 45 and winding them, and the outermost peripheral portion is protected by a protective tape 46.

  The positive electrode 43 has a structure in which a positive electrode active material layer 43B is provided on one or both surfaces of the positive electrode current collector 43A. The negative electrode 10 has a structure in which a negative electrode active material layer 12 is provided on one side or both sides of a negative electrode current collector 11, and the negative electrode active material layer 12 side is disposed so as to face the positive electrode active material layer 43B. Yes. The configurations of the positive electrode current collector 43A, the positive electrode active material layer 43B, and the separator 44 are the same as those of the positive electrode current collector 31A, the positive electrode active material layer 31B, and the separator 32 described in the first or second secondary battery, respectively. is there.

  The electrolyte layer 45 includes an electrolytic solution and a polymer compound serving as a holding body that holds the electrolytic solution, and has a so-called gel shape. The gel electrolyte layer 45 is preferable because high ion conductivity can be obtained and battery leakage can be prevented. The configuration of the electrolytic solution (that is, the solvent and the electrolyte salt) is the same as that of the cylindrical secondary battery shown in FIG. The polymer compound is, for example, a fluorine polymer compound such as polyvinylidene fluoride or a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, an ether polymer compound such as polyethylene oxide or a crosslinked product containing polyethylene oxide, or polyacrylonitrile. Etc. In particular, from the viewpoint of redox stability, a fluorine-based polymer compound is desirable.

  For example, the secondary battery can be manufactured as follows.

  First, a precursor solution containing a solvent, an electrolyte salt, a polymer compound, and a mixed solvent is applied to each of the positive electrode 43 and the negative electrode 10, and the mixed solvent is volatilized to form the electrolyte layer 45. After that, the positive electrode lead 41 is attached to the end of the positive electrode current collector 43A by welding, and the negative electrode lead 42 is attached to the end of the negative electrode current collector 11 by welding. Next, the positive electrode 43 and the negative electrode 10 on which the electrolyte layer 45 is formed are laminated through a separator 44 to form a laminated body, and then the laminated body is wound in the longitudinal direction and the protective tape 46 is adhered to the outermost peripheral portion. Thus, the wound electrode body 40 is formed. Finally, for example, the wound electrode body 40 is sandwiched between the exterior members 50, and the outer edges of the exterior members 50 are sealed and sealed by thermal fusion or the like. At that time, the adhesion film 51 is inserted between the positive electrode lead 41 and the negative electrode lead 42 and the exterior member 50. Thereby, the secondary battery shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is completed.

  Further, this secondary battery may be manufactured as follows. First, the positive electrode 43 and the negative electrode 10 are prepared as described above, and after the positive electrode lead 41 and the negative electrode lead 42 are attached to the positive electrode 43 and the negative electrode 10, the positive electrode 43 and the negative electrode 10 are stacked via the separator 44 and wound. Then, the protective tape 46 is adhered to the outermost peripheral portion to form a wound body that is a precursor of the wound electrode body 40. Next, the wound body is sandwiched between the exterior members 50, and the outer peripheral edge portion excluding one side is heat-sealed to form a bag shape and stored in the interior of the exterior member 50. Subsequently, an electrolyte composition including a solvent, an electrolyte salt, a monomer that is a raw material of the polymer compound, a polymerization initiator, and other materials such as a polymerization inhibitor as necessary is prepared, and the exterior Inject into the member 50.

  After injecting the electrolyte composition, the opening of the exterior member 50 is heat-sealed in a vacuum atmosphere and sealed. Next, heat is applied to polymerize the monomer to obtain a polymer compound, thereby forming the gel electrolyte layer 45, and assembling the secondary battery shown in FIGS.

  This secondary battery operates in the same manner as the first or second secondary battery, and can obtain the same effect.
