Description

  The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery, and further relates to an electronic device including the lithium secondary battery.

In recent years, with the widespread use of portable devices such as video cameras, mobile phones, and portable personal computers, the demand for secondary batteries has increased. In the current lithium ion secondary battery, an organic electrolyte is mainly used as an electrolyte.
Although the organic electrolyte exhibits high ionic conductivity, there is a concern about the risk of leakage, ignition, etc. when used as a battery because the electrolyte is liquid and flammable. Development of a safer solid electrolyte is expected as an electrolyte for next-generation lithium ion secondary batteries.
In order to realize an all-solid-state battery, solid electrolytes have been energetically developed, but the ionic conductivity is generally smaller than that of organic electrolytes, and the practical use is difficult.

As a solid electrolyte, lithium ion conductive ceramics based on Li ₃ N have been reported as materials exhibiting high ionic conductivity at room temperature (10 ⁻³ Scm ⁻¹ ). It was difficult to construct a solid state battery.

As a sulfide-based solid electrolyte, Patent Document 1 discloses 10 ⁻⁴ Scm ⁻¹ solid electrolytes. In Patent Document 2, an electrolyte synthesized from Li ₂ S and P ₂ S ₅ is similarly 10 ^-4 Scm- ¹ ion conductivity is disclosed. In Patent Document 3, an ion conductivity of 10 ⁻³ Scm ⁻¹ is realized by a sulfide-based crystallized glass in which Li ₂ S and P ₂ S ₅ are synthesized in a ratio of 68 to 74 mol%: 26 to 32 mol%. ing.

Various oxide-based solid electrolytes have been proposed, but the ion conductivity of 10 ^{−4 to} 5 ^{Scm −1} units was not satisfactory.

  When the powder is applied to the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the solid electrolyte as in the above patent document, it is necessary to increase the filling rate of each particle layer in order to improve the battery performance (high capacity, high voltage, cycle characteristics). Therefore, it was necessary to mold under high pressure. Further, the battery described in the above-mentioned patent document has a problem that it does not drive as a battery unless a high package pressure is applied.

In Patent Document 4, the positive density and the solid electrolyte layer are molded at a high pressure of 750 to 2000 MPa in an atmosphere of room temperature to about 250 ° C., thereby making the apparent density 95% or more and the same performance as the battery to which the electrolyte is applied. It is disclosed to enhance. However, since the pressurizing condition is very high pressure, the area of the battery that can be manufactured is limited, and the pressurizing apparatus also requires a special press machine.
Further, a method of applying pressure (package pressure) during driving has been studied.

Patent Document 5 proposes a battery in which a pressure of 50 to 1000 kgf / cm ² is applied to the all-solid battery element to bring it into close contact with the exterior body.
Patent Document 6 discloses a method for preventing the interface from being lost by disposing a support plate that sandwiches the all-solid-state battery element, applying a pressure of 1.5 to 200 MPa (correcting the numerical values in the examples), and tightening. ing.

  As described above, in the all solid electrolyte, it is necessary to maintain the interface contact by pressurizing with a sandwich plate and screws including maintaining the performance. However, in order to maintain the tightened state during driving, an extra clamping plate and screws are required, and space saving cannot be achieved. In addition, a mobile device such as a mobile device is undesirably increased in weight.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a lithium battery of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an XX longitudinal sectional view of the lithium battery of FIG.
In FIG. 2, the lithium battery 1 includes a battery element 3 sandwiched between a positive electrode current collector 5 and a negative electrode current collector 7. The battery element 3 includes a solid electrolyte layer 20 between a pair of electrode layers including the positive electrode layer 10 and the negative electrode layer 30.
In the present invention, the package pressure is 0 to 1 MPa. The package pressure refers to a pressure applied during charge / discharge driving, and is a pressure applied in a uniaxial direction perpendicular to the battery stack surface.

The lithium battery of the present invention has a cycle characteristic in which the capacity retention rate with respect to the initial discharge capacity after 20 cycles is preferably 80% or more, more preferably 83% or more.
Here, the one-time cycle refers to performing charging and discharging once.
Therefore, the cycle of 20 times means performing charging and discharging 20 times each.

The capacity maintenance rate is obtained as follows. After charging the batteries at a current density of 0.2 mA / cm ^2, and discharged at 0.2 mA / cm ^2, to measure the discharge capacity at that time. This charge / discharge process is repeated 20 times.
Here, the cut voltage at the time of charging is 4.2V, and the cut voltage at the time of discharging is 1.5V. The discharge capacity is a value obtained by dividing the amount of current (mAh) obtained every hour by the weight (g) of the positive electrode active material, and the unit is mAh / g.
The capacity maintenance rate follows the following formula (1).
A = B / C × 100 (1)
Here, A is the capacity retention rate (%), B is the discharge capacity (mAh / g) at the time of discharge after the 20th cycle, and C is the discharge capacity (mAh / g) at the time of discharge at the first cycle. g).

Preferably, the voltage change after 20 cycles is 0.5 V or less. This voltage is a voltage value immediately after the start of discharge, and is the difference between the discharge start voltage at the first cycle and the discharge start voltage after the 20th cycle.

As such a battery, the positive electrode is a positive electrode which is a substance containing Li such as LCO, and the negative electrode is a negative electrode containing graphite or the like.

  The average crack length is desirably 1000 μm or less, and more desirably 700 μm or less. When the average crack length exceeds 1000 μm, ion conduction between the positive electrode and the negative electrode during battery driving becomes difficult, and battery performance may be extremely deteriorated.

The maximum positive electrode side displacement was 316 μm and the negative electrode side maximum displacement was 457 μm, and the maximum strain defined by the sum thereof was 773 μm.
A battery was prepared and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

  The lithium battery of the present invention can be used for mobile devices such as mobile phones and mobile personal computers, mobile devices such as electric cars and electric bicycles, and electric tools.
