Description
この発明は、一般的には集電体用アルミニウム合金箔に関し、特定的には、リチウムイオン電池等の二次電池の正極用集電体を形成するための材料として使用される集電体用アルミニウム合金箔に関する。 The present invention generally relates to an aluminum alloy foil for a current collector, and more specifically, for a current collector used as a material for forming a current collector for a positive electrode of a secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery. It relates to an aluminum alloy foil.
高容量二次電池としてリチウムイオン電池は、携帯用電子機器の電源に用いられるだけでなく、最近ではハイブリッド自動車用電源として用いるための開発が進められている。従来から、アルミニウム箔またはアルミニウム合金箔はリチウムイオン電池の正極用集電体を形成する材料として用いられている。 As a high-capacity secondary battery, a lithium ion battery is not only used as a power source for portable electronic devices, but has recently been developed for use as a power source for hybrid vehicles. Conventionally, aluminum foil or aluminum alloy foil has been used as a material for forming a positive electrode current collector of a lithium ion battery.
たとえば、特開２００５−１３３２０７号公報（特許文献１）に記載されているように、リチウムイオン二次電池の正極用基材として、純アルミニウム（ＪＩＳ呼称１０００系）箔、Ａｌ−Ｍｎ系（ＪＩＳ呼称３０００系）合金箔、Ａｌ−Ｆｅ系（ＪＩＳ呼称８０００系）合金箔が使用されている。 For example, as described in JP-A-2005-133207 (Patent Document 1), as a positive electrode base material for a lithium ion secondary battery, pure aluminum (JIS name 1000 series) foil, Al-Mn series (JIS) (Nominal 3000 series) alloy foil and Al-Fe (JIS designation 8000 series) alloy foil are used.
また、特開平１１−９７０３２号公報（特許文献２）に記載されているように、二次電池用集電体として、アルミニウム純度が９９．７０重量％以上の高純度アルミニウム箔が用いられている。
最近では、二次電池の高容量化と小型化の要求に応じて、集電体をより薄くして、二次電池の体積あたりの容量を増大する方法が検討されている。 Recently, a method of increasing the capacity per volume of the secondary battery by making the current collector thinner is being studied in response to the demand for higher capacity and smaller size of the secondary battery.
しかしながら、集電体を形成するアルミニウム箔またはアルミニウム合金箔の厚みを１５μｍよりも薄くすると、箔の表面に各種の活物質を塗布する工程、塗布した活物質を箔の表面に圧着させる工程等の電極の製造工程において、箔が頻繁に破断するという問題がある。 However, when the thickness of the aluminum foil or aluminum alloy foil forming the current collector is made thinner than 15 μm, a step of applying various active materials to the surface of the foil, a step of pressure-bonding the applied active material to the surface of the foil, etc. In the electrode manufacturing process, there is a problem that the foil frequently breaks.
また、一般に、純アルミニウム箔に比べて、Ａｌ−Ｍｎ系とＡｌ−Ｆｅ系のアルミニウム合金箔は、強度が勝るものの、電解液に対する耐食性が低下するので、たとえば、ハイブリッド自動車用電源として用いられる二次電池のように長期間の寿命が要求される二次電池の集電体に用いることが困難である。 In general, Al-Mn and Al-Fe-based aluminum alloy foils are superior in strength to pure aluminum foils, but have a lower corrosion resistance to electrolytes. For example, they are used as power sources for hybrid vehicles. It is difficult to use for a current collector of a secondary battery such as a secondary battery that requires a long life.
そこで、この発明の目的は、純アルミニウム箔に比べて耐食性が低下することがなく、箔の厚みを１５μｍ以下にしても電極の製造工程において破断することがない集電体用アルミニウム合金箔を提供することである。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an aluminum alloy foil for a current collector that does not deteriorate in corrosion resistance as compared with pure aluminum foil and does not break in the electrode manufacturing process even if the thickness of the foil is 15 μm or less. It is to be.
上述の課題を解決するために、本発明者は種々検討した結果、アルミニウム合金箔において、少なくとも、マンガン、鉄およびジルコニウムの含有量を制御することにより、さらに、チタン、シリコンの含有量を制御することにより、アルミニウム合金箔の厚みを１５μｍ以下にしても電極の製造工程において破断するのを防止するために必要な強度および伸びと、耐食性とが得られることを見出した。このような本発明者の知見に基づいて本発明はなされたものである。 In order to solve the above-described problems, the present inventors have made various studies. As a result, in the aluminum alloy foil, by controlling at least the contents of manganese, iron and zirconium, the contents of titanium and silicon are further controlled. As a result, it has been found that even when the thickness of the aluminum alloy foil is 15 μm or less, strength and elongation necessary for preventing breakage in the electrode manufacturing process and corrosion resistance can be obtained. The present invention has been made based on such knowledge of the present inventor.
この発明に従った集電体用アルミニウム合金箔は、０．１質量％以上１．５質量％以下のマンガンと、０．５質量％以上１．８質量％以下の鉄と、０．０１質量％以上０．５質量％以下のジルコニウムと、０．００１質量％以上０．５質量％以下のチタンと、０．１質量％以下のシリコンを含み、残部がアルミニウムと不可避不純物とを含む。 An aluminum alloy foil for a current collector according to the present invention has 0.1 mass% or more and 1.5 mass% or less manganese, 0.5 mass% or more and 1.8 mass% or less iron, and 0.01 mass% % Or more and 0.5% by mass or less of zirconium, 0.001% by mass or more and 0.5% by mass or less of titanium, and 0.1% by mass or less of silicon, and the balance contains aluminum and inevitable impurities.
好ましくは、この発明の集電体用アルミニウム合金箔は、厚みが１５μｍ以下、引張強度が２２０Ｎ／ｍｍ２以上３２０Ｎ／ｍｍ２以下、伸びが２％以上である。 Preferably, the aluminum alloy foil for a current collector of the present invention has a thickness of 15 μm or less, a tensile strength of 220 N / mm 2 or more and 320 N / mm 2 or less, and an elongation of 2% or more.
以上のように、この発明の集電体用アルミニウム合金箔は、強度および伸びに優れているので、アルミニウム合金箔の厚みを１５μｍ以下にしても電極の製造工程において破断するのを防止することができるとともに、純アルミニウム箔に比べて耐食性が低下しないので、長期間の寿命が要求される二次電池の集電体に用いることができる。 As described above, since the aluminum alloy foil for a current collector of the present invention is excellent in strength and elongation, even if the thickness of the aluminum alloy foil is 15 μm or less, it is possible to prevent breakage in the electrode manufacturing process. In addition, since the corrosion resistance does not decrease as compared with pure aluminum foil, it can be used as a current collector for a secondary battery that requires a long life.
この発明の一つの実施の形態として集電体用アルミニウム合金箔は、０．１質量％以上１．５質量％以下のマンガンと、０．５質量％以上１．８質量％以下の鉄と、０．０１質量％以上０．５質量％以下のジルコニウムと、０．００１質量％以上０．５質量％以下のチタンと、０．１質量％以下のシリコンを含み、残部がアルミニウムと不可避不純物とを含む。 As one embodiment of this invention, the aluminum alloy foil for the current collector is 0.1 mass% or more and 1.5 mass% or less manganese, 0.5 mass% or more and 1.8 mass% or less iron, It contains 0.01 mass% or more and 0.5 mass% or less of zirconium, 0.001 mass% or more and 0.5 mass% or less of titanium, and 0.1 mass% or less of silicon, with the balance being aluminum and inevitable impurities including.
集電体用アルミニウム合金箔にマンガン（Ｍｎ）を含有させる理由は以下のとおりである。マンガンは、アルミニウム合金箔の耐食性を低下させることなく、強度を向上させることができる元素である。マンガンの含有量が０．１質量％未満であると、十分な強度を得ることができない。マンガンの含有量が１．５質量％を越えると、強度が増大しすぎてアルミニウム合金箔の伸びと圧延性を低下させる。より好ましいマンガンの含有量は０．５質量％以上１．５質量％以下である。 The reason why manganese (Mn) is contained in the aluminum alloy foil for the current collector is as follows. Manganese is an element that can improve the strength without reducing the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy foil. If the manganese content is less than 0.1% by mass, sufficient strength cannot be obtained. If the manganese content exceeds 1.5% by mass, the strength will increase too much and the elongation and rollability of the aluminum alloy foil will be reduced. More preferable manganese content is 0.5 mass% or more and 1.5 mass% or less.
集電体用アルミニウム合金箔に鉄（Ｆｅ）を含有させる理由は以下のとおりである。鉄は、マンガンとともに添加することによってＡｌ−Ｆｅ−Ｍｎ系の化合物としてマンガンを析出させ、結晶粒を微細化することによって伸びを改善することができる元素である。また、このＡｌ−Ｆｅ−Ｍｎ系の化合物は、アルミニウム合金箔の耐食性を低下させることがなく、圧延時の耐焼付性（ロールへの材料の溶着）と微粉の発生とを抑え、圧延性を向上させる。鉄の含有量が０．５質量%未満であると、上記の効果を十分に発揮することができない。鉄の含有量が１．８質量％を超えると、強度が増大しすぎてアルミニウム合金箔の伸びと圧延性を低下させる。より好ましい鉄の含有量は０．５質量％以上１．５質量％以下である。 The reason for including iron (Fe) in the aluminum alloy foil for the current collector is as follows. Iron is an element that can be added together with manganese to precipitate manganese as an Al—Fe—Mn-based compound and improve the elongation by refining crystal grains. In addition, this Al-Fe-Mn compound does not reduce the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy foil, suppresses seizure resistance during rolling (material adhesion to the roll) and generation of fine powder, and improves rollability. Improve. When the iron content is less than 0.5% by mass, the above effects cannot be sufficiently exhibited. When iron content exceeds 1.8 mass%, intensity | strength will increase too much and the elongation and rolling property of aluminum alloy foil will be reduced. A more preferable iron content is 0.5% by mass or more and 1.5% by mass or less.
集電体用アルミニウム合金箔にジルコニウム（Ｚｒ）を含有させる理由は以下のとおりである。ジルコニウムは、アルミニウム合金箔の耐食性を低下させることなく、強度および伸びを向上させることができる元素である。ジルコニウムの含有量が０．０１質量％未満であると、十分な強度および伸びを得ることができない。ジルコニウムの含有量が０．５質量％を越えると、強度が増大しすぎてアルミニウム合金箔の圧延性を低下させるとともに、結晶粒が粗大化して伸びを低下させる。より好ましいジルコニウムの含有量は０．０５質量％以上０．２質量％以下である。 The reason why zirconium (Zr) is contained in the aluminum alloy foil for the current collector is as follows. Zirconium is an element that can improve strength and elongation without reducing the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy foil. If the zirconium content is less than 0.01% by mass, sufficient strength and elongation cannot be obtained. If the zirconium content exceeds 0.5% by mass, the strength will increase too much to lower the rollability of the aluminum alloy foil, and the crystal grains will coarsen to reduce the elongation. A more preferable zirconium content is 0.05% by mass or more and 0.2% by mass or less.
集電体用アルミニウム合金箔にチタン（Ｔｉ）を含有させる理由は以下のとおりである。チタンは、アルミニウム合金箔の耐食性を低下させることなく、伸びを向上させることができる元素である。チタンの含有量が０．００１質量％未満であると、結晶粒が粗大化して伸びを低下させる。チタンの含有量が０．５質量％を越えると、強度が増大しすぎてアルミニウム合金箔の圧延性を低下させるとともに、伸びを低下させる。より好ましいチタンの含有量は０．０１質量％以上０．２質量％以下である。 The reason why titanium (Ti) is contained in the aluminum alloy foil for the current collector is as follows. Titanium is an element that can improve the elongation without reducing the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy foil. If the titanium content is less than 0.001% by mass, the crystal grains become coarse and the elongation is lowered. When the content of titanium exceeds 0.5% by mass, the strength increases excessively, which lowers the rollability of the aluminum alloy foil and lowers the elongation. The titanium content is more preferably 0.01% by mass or more and 0.2% by mass or less.
集電体用アルミニウム合金箔に含有させるシリコン（Ｓｉ）を０．１質量％以下に限定する理由は以下のとおりである。シリコンは、強度を向上させることができる元素であるが、０．１質量％以上のマンガンが存在する場合、シリコンの含有量が０．１質量％を越えると、強度が増大しすぎてアルミニウム合金箔の圧延性を低下させるとともに、結晶粒が粗大化して伸びを低下させる。 The reason why the silicon (Si) contained in the aluminum alloy foil for the current collector is limited to 0.1% by mass or less is as follows. Silicon is an element capable of improving the strength. However, when manganese of 0.1% by mass or more is present, if the silicon content exceeds 0.1% by mass, the strength is excessively increased and the aluminum alloy While reducing the rolling property of foil, a crystal grain coarsens and elongation is reduced.
なお、本発明のアルミニウム合金箔は、上記の特性や効果に影響を与えない程度の含有量で、銅（Ｃｕ）、銀（Ａｇ）、ニッケル（Ｎｉ）、クロム（Ｃｒ）、マグネシウム（Ｍｇ）、バナジウム（Ｖ）、ホウ素（Ｂ）、亜鉛（Ｚｎ）、ガリウム（Ｇａ）、ビスマス（Ｂｉ）等の元素を含んでいてもよい。特に、銅の含有量を０．０１質量％以下にすると、アルミニウム合金箔の耐食性が低下するのを防止することができる。 The aluminum alloy foil of the present invention has a content that does not affect the above characteristics and effects, and is copper (Cu), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), magnesium (Mg). , Vanadium (V), boron (B), zinc (Zn), gallium (Ga), bismuth (Bi) and other elements may be included. In particular, when the copper content is 0.01% by mass or less, it is possible to prevent the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy foil from being lowered.
通常、材料の強度を高くすると伸びが小さくなり、伸びが高くすると強度が低くなる。強度または伸びを改善する目的で、通常、合金元素の添加が行われているが、強度を向上させることができても耐食性を低下させる場合が多い。 Usually, increasing the strength of the material decreases the elongation, and increasing the strength decreases the strength. In order to improve the strength or elongation, an alloy element is usually added, but even if the strength can be improved, the corrosion resistance is often lowered.
本発明では、上記の元素をアルミニウムに最適量添加することにより、アルミニウム合金の再結晶組織が超微細化し、耐食性を低下させることがないので、厚みが１５μｍ以下のアルミニウム合金箔において強度、伸び、圧延性をともに向上させることができるとともに、耐食性を維持することができる。 In the present invention, by adding an optimal amount of the above elements to aluminum, the recrystallized structure of the aluminum alloy does not become ultrafine and does not deteriorate the corrosion resistance. Therefore, in the aluminum alloy foil having a thickness of 15 μm or less, Both rollability can be improved and corrosion resistance can be maintained.
この発明の一つの実施の形態として集電体用アルミニウム合金箔は、引張強度が２２０Ｎ／ｍｍ２以上３２０Ｎ／ｍｍ２以下、伸びが２％以上であることが好ましい。引張強度が２２０Ｎ／ｍｍ２以上３２０Ｎ／ｍｍ２以下、かつ、伸びが２％以上の条件を満たさない場合、箔の表面に各種の活物質を塗布する工程、塗布した活物質を箔の表面に圧着させる工程等の電極の製造工程において箔が破断する恐れがある。好ましくは、アルミニウム合金箔の厚みは４μｍ以上である。アルミニウム合金箔の厚みが４μｍ未満であれば、電極としての機械的強度を維持することができない。 As one embodiment of the present invention, the current collector aluminum alloy foil preferably has a tensile strength of 220 N / mm 2 or more and 320 N / mm 2 or less and an elongation of 2% or more. When the tensile strength is 220 N / mm 2 or more and 320 N / mm 2 or less and the elongation does not satisfy the conditions of 2% or more, a step of applying various active materials to the surface of the foil, and the applied active material on the surface of the foil There is a possibility that the foil may be broken in the manufacturing process of the electrode such as the step of crimping. Preferably, the thickness of the aluminum alloy foil is 4 μm or more. If the thickness of the aluminum alloy foil is less than 4 μm, the mechanical strength as an electrode cannot be maintained.
アルミニウム合金箔の厚みを上記範囲にするには、通常の方法に従って、鋳造、圧延を行えばよい。また、アルミニウム合金箔に適宜熱処理を施してもよい。 In order to make the thickness of the aluminum alloy foil within the above range, casting and rolling may be performed according to a normal method. Moreover, you may heat-process suitably for aluminum alloy foil.
具体的には、上記の組成を有するアルミニウム合金の溶湯を調製し、アルミニウム合金の溶湯を凝固させることにより鋳塊を製造する。得られた鋳塊に４００〜６３０℃程度の温度で１〜２０時間程度の均質化処理を施してもよい。その後、鋳塊に熱間圧延と冷間圧延を施すことによって所望の厚みの箔に圧延する。連続鋳造によって薄板のアルミニウム合金を製造する場合には、連続鋳造後、直接冷間圧延によって所望の厚みの箔を得ることもできる。 Specifically, an ingot is produced by preparing a molten aluminum alloy having the above composition and solidifying the molten aluminum alloy. You may perform the homogenization process for about 1 to 20 hours at the temperature of about 400-630 degreeC to the obtained ingot. Thereafter, the ingot is rolled into a foil having a desired thickness by hot rolling and cold rolling. When a thin aluminum alloy is produced by continuous casting, a foil having a desired thickness can be obtained by direct cold rolling after continuous casting.
軟質のアルミニウム合金箔を製造する場合には、冷間圧延によって所望の厚みに加工したアルミニウム合金箔に２５０〜４５０℃程度の温度で１〜３０時間程度の熱処理を施せばよい。 When producing a soft aluminum alloy foil, the aluminum alloy foil processed to a desired thickness by cold rolling may be subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of about 250 to 450 ° C. for about 1 to 30 hours.
以下、この発明の実施例について説明する。 Examples of the present invention will be described below.
表１に示すさまざまな組成のアルミニウム合金（実施例１〜１０、比較例１〜９）の溶湯を調製し、アルミニウム合金の溶湯を凝固させることにより鋳塊を製造した。得られた鋳塊に温度６００℃で１０時間の均質化処理を施した後、熱間圧延によって６ｍｍの厚みまで圧延した。その後、冷間圧延によって１２μｍの厚みまで圧延し、その特性（引張強度・伸び・圧延性・耐食性）を評価した。その評価された特性を表１に示す。 Ingots were produced by preparing molten aluminum alloys having various compositions shown in Table 1 (Examples 1 to 10, Comparative Examples 1 to 9) and solidifying the molten aluminum alloy. The obtained ingot was subjected to a homogenization treatment at a temperature of 600 ° C. for 10 hours, and then rolled to a thickness of 6 mm by hot rolling. Then, it rolled by cold rolling to thickness of 12 micrometers, and the characteristic (tensile strength, elongation, rolling property, corrosion resistance) was evaluated. The evaluated characteristics are shown in Table 1.
また、現在、リチウムイオン電池用集電箔として使用されているＪＩＳ呼称の１Ｎ３０、８０２１、８０７９、３００３のアルミニウム合金箔についても、上記と同様の評価を行った。その評価結果も表１に示す。 Moreover, evaluation similar to the above was performed also about the aluminum alloy foil of JIS name 1N30, 8021, 8079, and 3003 currently used as a current collector foil for lithium ion batteries. The evaluation results are also shown in Table 1.
ここで、「耐食性」の評価は、リチウムイオン電池用電解液（ジエチレンカーボネートとエチレンカーボネートを体積比で１：１の割合で混合した非水系電解液にＬｉＰＦ６を１モル／リットルの濃度で溶解したもの）に室温で３０日間浸漬した後、腐食の程度を目視で観察することによって行った。ほとんど腐食されていないものを○、孔食等の腐食の形跡のあるものを×として「耐食性」を評価した。また、「圧延性」は、１２μｍの厚みまで連続的に破断なく製造できたものを○、圧延中に破断または圧延できなかったものを×として評価した。 Here, the evaluation of “corrosion resistance” is based on an electrolyte solution for lithium ion batteries (LiPF 6 dissolved in a non-aqueous electrolyte solution in which diethylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate are mixed at a volume ratio of 1: 1 at a concentration of 1 mol / liter. The film was soaked at room temperature for 30 days, and the degree of corrosion was visually observed. “Corrosion resistance” was evaluated with ○ indicating that the material was hardly corroded and × indicating that there was evidence of corrosion such as pitting corrosion. In addition, “rollability” was evaluated as “◯” for those that could be continuously produced without breaking up to a thickness of 12 μm, and “×” for those that could not be broken or rolled during rolling.
表１からわかるように、本発明の実施例１〜１０では、耐食性を低下させることがなく、引張強度が２２０Ｎ／ｍｍ２以上で、かつ、伸びが２％以上であるアルミニウム合金箔を得ることができる。 As can be seen from Table 1, in Examples 1 to 10 of the present invention, an aluminum alloy foil having a tensile strength of 220 N / mm 2 or more and an elongation of 2% or more is obtained without reducing the corrosion resistance. Can do.
今回開示された実施の形態や実施例はすべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考慮されるべきである。本発明の範囲は以上の実施の形態や実施例ではなく、特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての修正や変形を含むものであることが意図される。 It should be considered that the embodiments and examples disclosed herein are illustrative and non-restrictive in every respect. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above embodiments or examples but by the scope of claims, and is intended to include all modifications and variations within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims. .
