Description

本発明は、単結晶LiMn2O4ナノワイヤーの製造方法及び単結晶LiMn2O4ナノワイヤーを用いたハイレートLiイオン電池に関する。 The present invention relates to a high-rate Li-ion battery using the manufacturing method and a single crystal LiMn 2 O 4 nanowires monocrystalline LiMn 2 O 4 nanowires.

近年、エネルギー、環境問題が盛んに取り上げら、その問題の解決の手段としてクリーンなエネルギーデバイスの開発が必要とされており、交通、物流の手段として重要な自動車を電気エネルギーで稼動させることへの要求は、非常に高まっている。電気自動車用のエネルギー源として、Liイオン電池の有する可能性は高いものがある。何故ならLiイオン電池は、エネルギー密度が高いためである。
しかしながら、Liイオン電池には出力密度が低いという欠点がある。この問題を解決するために、多くの発明者によって電気自動車用のLi貯蔵デバイスの研究が行われてきた。 In recent years, energy and environmental issues have been actively taken up, and it has been necessary to develop clean energy devices as a means of solving these problems. The demand is very high. As an energy source for electric vehicles, there is a high possibility that a Li-ion battery has. This is because Li-ion batteries have a high energy density.
However, Li-ion batteries have the disadvantage of low power density. In order to solve this problem, many inventors have studied Li storage devices for electric vehicles.

Liイオン電池には、正極、負極が必要であるが、本発明では正極材料に注目した。現行のLiCoO2はCoのコストが高いことを考えると今後の自動車用用途（大量に必要）には難しいことが予想される。それに対してMnは安価な材料であることから、普及に関して問題がない。層状構造を持つLiMnO2などのMn化合物が正極材料として研究されているが、電気化学サイクルに対して不安定であるために、充放電を繰り返すことによる容量劣化が問題である。この問題を解決するために、スピネル構造を有する安定なLiMn2O4が研究されている。
また、急速に充電放電ができるハイレートLi貯蔵デバイスの開発のためには、以下の解決すべき、四つの問題がある。
１）活物質材料内でのLiの拡散長を減少させるための粒子径の減少。２）急速な充放電過程における電流密度の減少。３）急速な充放電過程におけるサイクル特性の向上。４）電極材料の電子伝導性の向上の４つの問題である。
つまり、ナノ構造制御を行わなければ、ハイレートデバイスは実現できないのである。 The Li ion battery requires a positive electrode and a negative electrode, but in the present invention, attention was paid to the positive electrode material. Current LiCoO 2 is expected to be difficult for future automotive applications (necessary in large quantities) given the high cost of Co. On the other hand, since Mn is an inexpensive material, there is no problem regarding its spread. Mn compounds such as LiMnO 2 having a layered structure have been studied as positive electrode materials. However, since they are unstable with respect to the electrochemical cycle, capacity degradation due to repeated charge and discharge is a problem. In order to solve this problem, stable LiMn 2 O 4 having a spinel structure has been studied.
In addition, there are four problems to be solved in order to develop a high-rate Li storage device that can rapidly charge and discharge.
1) Reduction of particle size to reduce the diffusion length of Li in the active material. 2) A decrease in current density during a rapid charge / discharge process. 3) Improvement of cycle characteristics in a rapid charge / discharge process. 4) There are four problems of improving the electron conductivity of the electrode material.
In other words, a high-rate device cannot be realized without nanostructure control.

これまで、LiMn2O4の用いた良好なハイレート特性の報告はない。これは、まず一つは、ナノ粒子を作製できたとしても、電極材料として使用する際に、容易に凝集して大きな二次粒子となり、本来のナノ粒子の特性を発揮できないことに起因する。二つ目は、安定な充放電電位を有するためには、高い結晶性を有するLiMn2O4を作製する必要があり、高温での熱処理を行わなければならない。この高温熱処理での粒成長の抑制が困難であり、ハイレートLiイオン電池が必要とするナノ構造を得ることができなかったためと考えられる。
凝集と高温熱処理での粒成長の抑制を考慮すると、ハイレートLiイオン電池電極の作製のためには、ナノ粒子の作製は不適切であり、ナノワイヤーからなる不織布の形態を作製することが適切であると考えられる。なぜならば、ナノワイヤーによって形成された不織布は、すでにワイヤー同士によって固定化されており、ポーラスな構造を持ったまま、凝集することがない。その上、ナノワイヤー同士の接点も、非常に少なく、高温での熱処理によっても、粒成長することなく、ナノワイヤーの構造を維持するからである。したがって、ハイレートLiイオン電池の電極構造に必要なナノ構造を有することができるうえ、単結晶のワイヤー構造であれば、粒界による電気抵抗も軽減され、よりハイレートLiイオン電池電極として最適な構造であることも分かる。 So far, there has been no report of good high rate characteristics using LiMn 2 O 4 . This is because, first of all, even if nanoparticles can be produced, they can be easily agglomerated into large secondary particles when used as an electrode material and cannot exhibit the characteristics of the original nanoparticles. Second, in order to have a stable charge / discharge potential, it is necessary to produce LiMn 2 O 4 having high crystallinity, and heat treatment must be performed at a high temperature. This is probably because it is difficult to suppress the grain growth by this high-temperature heat treatment, and the nanostructure required by the high-rate Li-ion battery could not be obtained.
Considering the suppression of grain growth during agglomeration and high-temperature heat treatment, it is inappropriate to produce nanoparticles for producing high-rate Li-ion battery electrodes. It is believed that there is. This is because the non-woven fabric formed of nanowires is already immobilized by wires and does not aggregate while having a porous structure. In addition, the number of contacts between the nanowires is very small, and the structure of the nanowires is maintained without grain growth even by heat treatment at a high temperature. Therefore, it is possible to have the nanostructure necessary for the electrode structure of a high-rate Li-ion battery, and if it is a single crystal wire structure, the electrical resistance due to the grain boundary is reduced, and the structure is more optimal as a high-rate Li-ion battery electrode I understand that there is.

結晶性が良く、ナノ構造を有する電極材料を作製することができれば、ハイレートにおいても、放電曲線がフラットなプラトーを有する電池特性を示すことも期待される。電池のキャパシタに勝る特性の中で、一つは大容量であり、さらには、安定な電圧を供給することができるという点がある。これまでに報告されているハイレートLi貯蔵デバイスは、ほとんどの報告において、フラットなプラトーを示さず、電池ではなくスーパーキャパシタと呼ばれ、放電曲線キャパシタと同様であり、安定な電圧を供給することができなかった。
現在、負極材料として用いられる、グラファイト電極には、グラファイトの粉と共に、カーボンファイバーを混合することにより、電極活物質の充填率の向上と体積緩和を行い、サイクル特性の向上にも寄与している。
本発明者は、マンガン酸ナトリウム（Na0.44MnO2）単結晶ナノワイヤーを用いて、ハイレート電池の電極をすでに提案している（特願２００７−０６７８３５）。
特願２００７−０６７８３５ If an electrode material having good crystallinity and a nanostructure can be produced, it is expected that even at a high rate, a battery characteristic having a flat plateau in the discharge curve is expected. Among the characteristics superior to the capacitor of a battery, one has a large capacity, and furthermore, a stable voltage can be supplied. The high-rate Li storage devices reported so far do not show a flat plateau in most reports and are called supercapacitors rather than batteries, and are similar to discharge curve capacitors and can supply a stable voltage. could not.
Currently, graphite electrodes used as negative electrode materials are mixed with carbon powder together with graphite powder to improve the filling rate and volume of the electrode active material, thereby contributing to improved cycle characteristics. .

（単結晶LiMn2O4ナノワイヤーの製造）

図1に作製されたLiMn2O4のXRDを示す。
JCPDSパターンと一致するスピネル型のLiMn2O4が作製されたことが分かる。 (Manufacture of single crystal LiMn 2 O 4 nanowires)
Mn 3 O 4 was added to a 5M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, placed in a Teflon (registered trademark) inner cylinder in a stainless steel sealed container, and subjected to a hydrothermal reaction at 205 ° C. for 4 days. The produced sodium manganate (Na 0.44 MnO 2 ) single crystal nanowire was washed with ion-exchanged water and dried. This sodium manganate and excess LiNO 3 / LiCl were reacted at 450 ° C. for 1 hour, then washed with ion-exchanged water and dried. This was heat-treated at 800 ° C. for 1 hour to obtain single crystal LiMn 2 O 4 nanowires.
(Manufacture of electrodes)
The produced LiMn 2 O 4 was mixed with carbon, which is a conductive additive, and then mixed with a binder, and pressed onto a SUS mesh current collector, which was used as an electrode.
(Manufacture of Li batteries)
Electrochemical evaluation was performed using metallic Li for the counter electrode and reference electrode, and an EC / DEC mixed solvent containing 1M LiClO 4 for the electrolyte.
FIG. 1 shows the XRD of LiMn 2 O 4 produced.
It can be seen that spinel-type LiMn 2 O 4 that matches the JCPDS pattern was produced.

実施例１で得られたLiMn2O4の電子顕微鏡（SEM）写真を図２に示す。図２のから数十-150nm程度の直径を持つナノワイヤー構造であることが分かり、アスペクト比も1000以上と非常に大きい。また、ナノワイヤーによって不織布の形態をとり、凝集が抑制される構造となっている。
実施例１で得られたLiMn2O4の電子顕微鏡（TEM）写真と電子線回折を図３に示す。
図３の電子顕微鏡（TEM）写真と電子線回折から、得られたナノワイヤーは単結晶であることが分かる。 An electron microscope (SEM) photograph of LiMn 2 O 4 obtained in Example 1 is shown in FIG. From FIG. 2, it can be seen that the nanowire structure has a diameter of about several tens to 150 nm, and the aspect ratio is very large as 1000 or more. Moreover, it takes the form of a nonwoven fabric with nanowires, and has a structure in which aggregation is suppressed.
The electron microscope (TEM) photograph and electron beam diffraction of LiMn 2 O 4 obtained in Example 1 are shown in FIG.
From the electron microscope (TEM) photograph and electron beam diffraction of FIG. 3, it can be seen that the obtained nanowire is a single crystal.

実施例１で得られたLiMn2O4、本荘化学製（参考例１）LiMn2O4、および三井金属製（参考例２）5wt%-MgドープLiMn2O4の電気化学特性について、二サイクル目のサイクリックボルタンメトリー（0.1mV/s）と充放電曲線（0.1C,1C=100mA/gとした）を図4(a),(b)に示す。サイクリックボルタンメトリーでは、ナノワイヤーを用いたもののみが、Liの脱挿入の二つの電位において鋭いピークを示し、結晶性の高さが分かる。また、充放電曲線からもナノワイヤーを用いた場合、サイクリックボルタンメトリーの結果と同様に、二種類のLiの脱挿入の電位によって二段のプラトーを示し容量も最も大きい。市販の充放電曲線は、二種類の電位が一定でなく、二段のプラトーを示さず、なだらかな充放電曲線を示している。 Regarding the electrochemical characteristics of LiMn 2 O 4 obtained in Example 1, Honjo Chemical (Reference Example 1) LiMn 2 O 4 , and Mitsui Kinzoku (Reference Example 2) 5 wt% -Mg-doped LiMn 2 O 4 The cyclic voltammetry (0.1 mV / s) and charge / discharge curve (0.1 C, 1 C = 100 mA / g) at the cycle are shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). In cyclic voltammetry, only those using nanowires show sharp peaks at the two potentials of Li deinsertion, indicating the high crystallinity. Also, from the charge / discharge curve, when nanowires are used, as with the cyclic voltammetry results, the two-stage plateau is shown by the potential of the two types of Li insertion / desorption, and the capacity is the largest. The commercially available charging / discharging curve shows a gentle charging / discharging curve in which the two kinds of potentials are not constant and does not show a two-stage plateau.

実施例１で得られた電極を用いて、ハイレート（50C）で充放電を行った際の二回目の充放電曲線を図５に示す。
ナノワイヤーを用いた場合、50Cというハイレートにおいても、容量が100mA/gを超える大きな容量を示し、図４の低レートでの容量を維持しているうえに、ハイレートにおいてもプラトーを持つ充放電曲線を示している。市販の容量は、図４の低レートの容量よりも大きく減少し、充放電曲線もプラトーを示すことができない。図６においても、ナノワイヤーを用いた電極は100C,200Cの非常にハイレート下での放電曲線も、フラットなプラトーを示していることがわかる。 FIG. 5 shows a second charging / discharging curve when charging / discharging at a high rate (50 C) using the electrode obtained in Example 1.
When nanowire is used, even at a high rate of 50C, the capacity exceeds 100mA / g, and the charge / discharge curve has a plateau at the high rate while maintaining the low rate capacity shown in FIG. Is shown. The commercial capacity is greatly reduced from the low rate capacity of FIG. 4, and the charge / discharge curve cannot show a plateau. Also in FIG. 6, it can be seen that the electrode using nanowires shows a flat plateau in the discharge curve under very high rates of 100C and 200C.

実施例１で得られた電極を用いて、ナノワイヤーと市販のサンプルの充放電サイクル特性を図７に示す。いずれも50Cのハイレートにおいて、100サイクルを行った場合でも良好なサイクル特性を示しているが、その容量はナノワイヤーを用いた場合が、最も大きな値を示している。LiMn2O4ナノワイヤーは、ハイレートにおいても容量が大きく、サイクル特性も良好であると分かる。
実施例１で得られたナノワイヤーと市販のサンプルで得られた電極を用いて、および、報告されているLiMn2O4ナノ粒子を用いた報告のCレート（1C=100mA/g）と容量の関係を図８に示す。
ナノワイヤーを用いた場合、レートの増加に伴う容量の減少はわずかであり、大きな容量をハイレートにいても維持していることが分かる。市販のサンプルはレートの増加にしたがって容量は減少していることが分かり、ナノ粒子を用いた報告の値は、容量が急激に減少している。このグラフからもナノワイヤーを用いたハイレートLiイオン電池の良好な特性が分かる。 FIG. 7 shows the charge / discharge cycle characteristics of the nanowire and the commercially available sample using the electrode obtained in Example 1. Both show good cycle characteristics even when 100 cycles are performed at a high rate of 50C, but the capacity is the highest when nanowires are used. It can be seen that LiMn 2 O 4 nanowires have a large capacity and good cycle characteristics even at high rates.
Reported C-rate (1C = 100 mA / g) and capacity using nanowires obtained in Example 1 and electrodes obtained with commercial samples and using reported LiMn 2 O 4 nanoparticles The relationship is shown in FIG.
When nanowires are used, the capacity decrease with increasing rate is slight, and it can be seen that a large capacity is maintained even at a high rate. Commercial samples are found to decrease in capacity as the rate increases, and reported values using nanoparticles show a sharp decrease in capacity. This graph also shows the good characteristics of high-rate Li-ion batteries using nanowires.
