Description
本発明は、発電要素が電池缶内に収納された電池とその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a battery in which a power generation element is housed in a battery can and a method for manufacturing the same.
近年、ブルーツース(Bluetooth)等の無線通信技術の進歩や集積回路(IC)の高集積化等による、小型なモバイル機器等の携帯機器の発展に伴い、これらの機器に適した特性をもつ電池が、市場から要求されている。すなわち、電気容量が大きく、小型軽量で、耐漏液性等の信頼性が高い電池である。 In recent years, with the development of portable devices such as small mobile devices due to the progress of wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth and the high integration of integrated circuits (IC), batteries having characteristics suitable for these devices have been developed. Is demanded by the market. That is, the battery has a large electric capacity, a small size and a light weight, and high reliability such as leakage resistance.
このような電池として、従来、コイン型電池やラミネート型電池が主として用いられている。しかし、いずれの電池も、上述したような市場の要求を満足するには必ずしも十分ではない。特に、電気容量についての要求と現実との差は大きい。例えばコイン型電池では、かしめ構造を用いており、電池を小型化するに従って、発電要素を収納できないかしめ部分の占める体積の影響が大きくなる。同様に、ラミネート型電池では、ラミネートフィルムの積層封止部分が損失となる。そこで、これらの課題を解決するために、底面の大きさの異なる2つの電池缶を嵌合し、その内部に発電要素を収納した薄型電池が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1、2参照。)。
一般的に、金属同士を封止材で接着したときの接着強度は、金属の被着表面や封止材の接着表面の状態と、接着時の温度、圧力及び時間によって決まる。すなわち、接着時に、封止材を均一に溶解させるために十分な温度、時間で加熱して、被着表面に垂直な方向に高い圧力をかけながら接着させると、金属と封止材との間に空気が入ることなく、大きな接着強度が得られる。しかし、電池の作製の場合、封止材の溶解に必要な温度、例えば150〜200℃で長時間加熱すると、電池内部の発電要素に悪影響を及ぼす。そこで、数秒程度の短時間に、熱と圧力とを同時に加えて接着させることによって、接着強度を保っている。例えば、上記ラミネート型電池の作製には、封止材を挟む2枚の外装ラミネートフィルムの両外面から高熱と一定の圧力とを加えて接合する方法が用いられる。 In general, the adhesive strength when metals are bonded to each other with a sealing material is determined by the state of the metal deposition surface and the bonding surface of the sealing material, and the temperature, pressure and time during bonding. That is, at the time of bonding, heating at a temperature and time sufficient to uniformly dissolve the encapsulant, and bonding while applying high pressure in a direction perpendicular to the adherend surface, the gap between the metal and the encapsulant A large adhesive strength can be obtained without air entering. However, in the case of manufacturing a battery, if it is heated for a long time at a temperature necessary for melting the sealing material, for example, 150 to 200 ° C., the power generation element inside the battery is adversely affected. Therefore, the adhesive strength is maintained by applying heat and pressure simultaneously in a short time of about several seconds. For example, for the production of the laminate type battery, a method of applying high heat and a constant pressure from both outer surfaces of two exterior laminate films sandwiching a sealing material is used.
しかしながら、上述した特許文献1及び2に開示されているような電池は、一方の電池缶にもう一方の電池缶を被せるように嵌合した構成であるため、電池缶の被着面(側面)に垂直な方向から十分な圧力を加えられない。そこで、一方の電池缶の外側面から温度のみを加えて接着させる方法が用いられる。しかし、この接着方法では十分な接着強度が得られず、電池の耐漏液性が十分でないという課題があった。 However, since the battery as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above has a configuration in which one battery can is fitted over the other battery can, the attachment surface (side surface) of the battery can. Sufficient pressure cannot be applied from the direction perpendicular to. Therefore, a method is used in which only the temperature is applied from the outer surface of one of the battery cans for adhesion. However, this bonding method has a problem that sufficient adhesive strength cannot be obtained, and the battery has insufficient liquid resistance.
本発明は、2つの電池缶を嵌合し、その内部に発電要素を収納した電池であって、電池缶同士の接着強度が大きく、耐漏液性が高い電池を提供する。 The present invention provides a battery in which two battery cans are fitted and a power generation element is housed therein, and the battery can have high adhesion strength and high leakage resistance.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づき説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
図1は、本発明の電池の一例を示す断面図である。以下、図1に示す電池の製造方法について説明する。 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the battery of the present invention. A method for manufacturing the battery shown in FIG. 1 will be described below.
まず、電池缶1及び/又は電池缶2の内側の底面に発電要素を配置し、電池缶1と電池缶2とを対向させて嵌合する。このとき、電池缶1の外側面及び/又は電池缶2の内側面に、熱膨張性マイクロカプセル3bと樹脂3aとを含む封止材3を配置する(以下、(A)工程という。)。なお、電池缶2は、電池缶1よりも底面積の大きい電池缶である。

In general, it is a microsphere having a particle diameter of about 1 μm to 30 μm and expands up to about 200 times the volume when heated. Furthermore, if the expansion start temperature of the thermally expandable microcapsule is higher than the temperature of the sealing material in the step (A) and is equal to or lower than the heating temperature of the sealing material in the step (B), It is more preferable because the expandable microcapsule can be expanded more efficiently.
特に、この熱膨張性マイクロカプセル3bは、熱可塑性樹脂からなる殻壁を備えた微小球からなり、微小球の内部に揮発性膨張剤を内包し、さらに、この揮発性膨張剤の沸点は、上記(A)工程における上記封止材の温度より高く、上記(B)工程における上記封止材の加熱温度以下の温度であることが好ましい。これにより、熱膨張性マイクロカプセル3bをより効率的に膨張させることができ、耐漏液性のより高い電池を製造することができる。 In particular, the thermally expandable microcapsule 3b is composed of microspheres having a shell wall made of a thermoplastic resin, encapsulating a volatile expansion agent inside the microsphere, and the boiling point of the volatile expansion agent is: It is preferable that the temperature is higher than the temperature of the sealing material in the step (A) and not higher than the heating temperature of the sealing material in the step (B).

以下、実施例を用いて、本発明をより具体的に説明する。なお、本発明は、以下の実施例に限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples. The present invention is not limited to the following examples.
(実施例1)
正極活物質であるLiCoO2と、導電助剤であるカーボンブラックとを、重量比83:10で混合して正極合剤を作製した。次に、ポリフッ化ビニリデン(PVDF)を7重量%含むN−メチル−2−ピロリドン(NMP)溶液に、上記正極合剤を混合し、十分攪拌することによって、塗料を作製した。この塗料を乾燥させて溶剤を除去し、乳鉢で粉砕した後、直径15mm、厚さ0.9mmのペレットに成型して、正極を得た。また、負極として黒鉛と、PVDFとを、重量比93:7で混合して負極合剤を作製した。上述した正極と同様に、この負極合剤を用いて、直径16mm、厚さ0.7mmのペレットに成型して負極を得た。
Example 1
A positive electrode mixture was prepared by mixing LiCoO 2 as a positive electrode active material and carbon black as a conductive additive at a weight ratio of 83:10. Next, the positive electrode mixture was mixed with an N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solution containing 7% by weight of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and the mixture was sufficiently stirred to prepare a coating material. The paint was dried to remove the solvent, pulverized in a mortar, and then molded into a pellet having a diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 0.9 mm to obtain a positive electrode. Moreover, graphite and PVDF were mixed as a negative electrode by weight ratio 93: 7, and the negative mix was produced. Similarly to the positive electrode described above, this negative electrode mixture was used to form a negative electrode by molding into a pellet having a diameter of 16 mm and a thickness of 0.7 mm.
次に、上記正極を正極電池缶(外径20mmのステンレス鋼(SUS)缶)に、上記負極を負極電池缶(外径16.5mmのSUS缶)に、それぞれ固定した。また、負極電池缶の外側面に、厚さ100μmの封止材を配置した。上記封止材は、ポリエチレン(PE)に対して、熱膨張性マイクロカプセル“熱膨張性マイクロスフェアH850”(大日精化工業社製、粒径:10〜30μm、殻壁軟化点:155℃、155℃における体積膨張率:120)を25重量%混合してフィルム状に成形したものである。 Next, the positive electrode was fixed to a positive electrode battery can (stainless steel (SUS) can having an outer diameter of 20 mm), and the negative electrode was fixed to a negative electrode battery can (SUS can having an outer diameter of 16.5 mm). A sealing material having a thickness of 100 μm was disposed on the outer surface of the negative battery can. The sealing material is polyethylene (PE), thermally expandable microcapsule “thermally expandable microsphere H850” (manufactured by Dainichi Seika Kogyo Co., Ltd., particle size: 10-30 μm, shell wall softening point: 155 ° C., A volume expansion coefficient at 155 ° C .: 120) was mixed by 25% by weight and formed into a film shape.
次に、正極及び負極に、エチレンカーボネート(EC)とジメチルカーボネート(DMC)とを重量比1:4で混合した溶媒に、LiPF6を1M溶解させた電解液を注入した。その後、正極と負極とが、厚さ25μmのポリイミド製セパレーターを介するように、上記正極電池缶と上記負極電池缶とを嵌合した。 Next, an electrolyte solution in which 1 M of LiPF 6 was dissolved in a solvent in which ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) were mixed at a weight ratio of 1: 4 was injected into the positive electrode and the negative electrode. Then, the said positive electrode battery can and the said negative electrode battery can were fitted so that a positive electrode and a negative electrode might pass through a 25-micrometer-thick polyimide separator.
最後に、正極電池缶の外側面を固定し、高周波誘導加熱機を用いて170℃で4秒間加熱し、その後放冷することによって、電池缶同士を接着した。 Finally, the outer surface of the positive electrode battery can was fixed, heated at 170 ° C. for 4 seconds using a high-frequency induction heater, and then allowed to cool, thereby bonding the battery cans together.
なお、本実施例の電池は、同一外径、同一厚さの従来のかしめ構造の電池よりも約20%容量が大きいことがわかった。 The battery of this example was found to have a capacity of about 20% larger than that of a conventional caulking structure battery having the same outer diameter and the same thickness.
(実施例2)
封止材と、電池缶を接着させる加熱温度と時間とを除いて、実施例1と同様にして本実施例の電池を作製した。
(Example 2)
A battery of this example was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1 except for the sealing material and the heating temperature and time for bonding the battery can.
本実施例の封止材として、変性オレフィン系ホットメルト接着剤“1501SG30”(東亜合成社製、軟化点:150℃)に対して、熱膨張性マイクロカプセル“マツモトマイクロスフェアーF30”(松本油脂社製、粒径:10〜20μm、殻壁軟化点:85℃、85℃における体積膨張率:200)を30重量%混合したものを、負極電池缶の外側面に塗布して用いた。 As a sealing material of this example, a thermally expandable microcapsule “Matsumoto Microsphere F30” (Matsumoto Yushi) against a modified olefin hot melt adhesive “1501SG30” (manufactured by Toa Gosei Co., Ltd., softening point: 150 ° C.). A mixture of 30% by weight of a particle size of 10 to 20 μm, a softening point of shell wall: 85 ° C., and a volume expansion coefficient at 200 ° C. of 200 ° C. at 200 ° C. was applied to the outer surface of the negative electrode battery can.
本実施例の電池缶を接着させる加熱温度と時間は、150℃、5秒間とした。 The heating temperature and time for bonding the battery can of this example were 150 ° C. and 5 seconds.
(比較例1)
封止材に熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを混合しなかったことを除いて、実施例1と同様にして本比較例の電池を作製した。
(Comparative Example 1)
A battery of this comparative example was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the heat-expandable microcapsules were not mixed in the sealing material.
(比較例2)
封止材に熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを混合しなかったことを除いて、実施例2と同様にして本比較例の電池を作製した。
(Comparative Example 2)
A battery of this comparative example was fabricated in the same manner as in Example 2 except that the heat-expandable microcapsules were not mixed in the sealing material.
実施例1、2及び比較例1、2の電池について、それぞれ30個の電池を作製した。これらの電池を充電電圧4.0V、放電電圧2.0V、充電電流密度1mA/cm2に固定して2サイクル充放電させた後、4.0Vまで充電させた状態で、温度60℃、相対湿度90%の雰囲気中に貯蔵した。20日おきに漏液した電池の数を、光学顕微鏡を用いて目視により調べ、その結果を表1に示した。なお、一般的にこの試験は、20日間漏液しなければ室温で1年間の耐漏液性があると判断できる促進試験である。 Regarding the batteries of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, 30 batteries were produced. These batteries were charged at a charge voltage of 4.0 V, a discharge voltage of 2.0 V, a charge current density of 1 mA / cm 2 and charged and discharged for 2 cycles, and then charged to 4.0 V at a temperature of 60 ° C., relative Stored in an atmosphere of 90% humidity. The number of batteries that leaked every 20 days was visually examined using an optical microscope, and the results are shown in Table 1. In general, this test is an accelerated test that can be judged to have a leak resistance of 1 year at room temperature if the liquid does not leak for 20 days.
表1より明らかなように、比較例1及び2の電池は20日経過後から漏液する電池があったのに対して、実施例1及び2の電池は100日経過しても漏液しなかった。従って、熱膨張性マイクロカプセルを含む封止材を用いた本実施例の電池は、電池缶同士の接着強度が大きく、耐漏液性が高いことがわかる。 As is clear from Table 1, the batteries of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 leaked after 20 days, whereas the batteries of Examples 1 and 2 did not leak even after 100 days. It was. Therefore, it can be seen that the battery of this example using the sealing material including the thermally expandable microcapsule has a high adhesive strength between the battery cans and a high leakage resistance.
以上説明したように、本発明は、底面の大きさが異なる2つの電池缶が対向して嵌合された電池において、電池缶同士の接着強度が大きく、耐漏液性が高い電池とその製造方法を提供することができ、その工業的価値は大である。 As described above, the present invention relates to a battery in which two battery cans having different bottom sizes are fitted to face each other, a battery having high adhesive strength between the battery cans and high leakage resistance, and a method for manufacturing the same. And its industrial value is great.
