Description

本発明は、リチウムイオン電池用正極活物質の製造法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a positive electrode active material for a lithium ion battery.

リチウムイオン電池は、非水電解質電池の1種であり、携帯電話、デジタルカメラ、ノートPC、ハイブリッド自動車、電気自動車等広い分野に利用されている。リチウムイオン電池は、正極材料としてリチウム金属酸化物を用い、負極材料としてグラファイトなどの炭素材を用いるものが主流となっている。   Lithium ion batteries are a type of non-aqueous electrolyte battery and are used in a wide range of fields such as mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook PCs, hybrid cars, and electric cars. Lithium ion batteries mainly use lithium metal oxide as a positive electrode material and a carbon material such as graphite as a negative electrode material.

この正極材料としては、コバルト酸リチウム(LiCoO2)、マンガン酸リチウム(LiMnO2)、リン酸鉄リチウム(LiFePO4)、ケイ酸鉄リチウム(Li2FeSiO4)等が知られている。このうち、LiFePO4やLi2FeSiO4等は、オリビン構造を有し、高容量のリチウムイオン電池用正極材料として有用である。 As this positive electrode material, lithium cobaltate (LiCoO 2 ), lithium manganate (LiMnO 2 ), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ), lithium iron silicate (Li 2 FeSiO 4 ) and the like are known. Among these, LiFePO 4 and Li 2 FeSiO 4 have an olivine structure and are useful as a positive electrode material for a high capacity lithium ion battery.

Li2FeSiO4等のケイ酸鉄リチウム系正極材料の製造法としては、Li源、鉄源及びケイ酸源の混合物を粉砕し、500〜900℃で焼成するという固相法が一般的である(特許文献1、2)。しかし、固相法では、不活性ガス雰囲気での焼成と粉砕を行う必要があり、複雑な操作が必要であるとともに、粒径や結晶度を制御することが困難である。
これに対し、非特許文献1及び2には、Li2Mn1-yFeySiO4(y=0〜1)を水熱合成で得られる旨の記載がある。
As a method for producing a lithium iron silicate-based positive electrode material such as Li 2 FeSiO 4, a solid phase method in which a mixture of a Li source, an iron source and a silicate source is pulverized and fired at 500 to 900 ° C. is common. (Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, in the solid phase method, it is necessary to perform firing and pulverization in an inert gas atmosphere, which requires complicated operations and it is difficult to control the particle size and crystallinity.
In contrast, Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2 have a description that Li 2 Mn 1-y Fe y SiO 4 (y = 0 to 1) can be obtained by hydrothermal synthesis.

本発明は、Li2MSiO4(式中、MはFe、Ni、Co又はMnから選ばれる1種又は2種以上を示す)で表されるオリビン型シリケート化合物の製造法である。当該オリビン型シリケート化合物の具体例としては、Li2FeSiO4、Li2NiSiO4、Li2CoSiO4、Li2MnSiO4、Li2(Fe)m(Mn)1-mSiO4(0<m<1である)等が挙げられる。このうち、原料コストの点からLi2FeSiO4、Li2MnSiO4が好ましく、Li2FeSiO4が特に好ましい。 The present invention is a method for producing an olivine type silicate compound represented by Li 2 MSiO 4 (wherein M represents one or more selected from Fe, Ni, Co, or Mn). Specific examples of the olivine silicate compound include Li 2 FeSiO 4 , Li 2 NiSiO 4 , Li 2 CoSiO 4 , Li 2 MnSiO 4 , Li 2 (Fe) m (Mn) 1-m SiO 4 (0 <m < 1). Among these, Li 2 FeSiO 4 and Li 2 MnSiO 4 are preferable from the viewpoint of raw material cost, and Li 2 FeSiO 4 is particularly preferable.

本発明に用いられるリチウム化合物としては、水酸化リチウム(例えばLiOH・H2O)、炭酸リチウム(Li2CO3)、硫酸リチウム、酢酸リチウムが挙げられるが、水酸化リチウム、炭酸リチウムが特に好ましい。 Examples of the lithium compound used in the present invention include lithium hydroxide (for example, LiOH.H 2 O), lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3 ), lithium sulfate, and lithium acetate, and lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate are particularly preferable. .

ケイ酸化合物としては、反応性のあるシリカ化合物であれば特に限定されず、非晶質シリカ、Na4SiO4(例えばNa4SiO4・H2O)が好ましい。このうちNa4SiO4を用いた場合、水分散液が塩基性になるので、より好ましい。 The silicic acid compound is not particularly limited as long as it is a reactive silica compound, and amorphous silica and Na 4 SiO 4 (for example, Na 4 SiO 4 .H 2 O) are preferable. Of these, the use of Na 4 SiO 4 is more preferable because the aqueous dispersion becomes basic.

本発明においては、遷移金属(M)源として、有機酸遷移金属塩((R)2M)を用いて水熱反応を行う点に特徴がある。通常、有機酸塩は固相法に用いられる原料であり、水熱反応に用いることにより副反応が抑制できることは全く予想外であった。遷移金属としては前記と同じものが用いられる。Rで示される有機酸としては、炭素数1〜20の有機酸が好ましく、炭素数2〜12の有機酸がより好ましい。より具体的な有機酸としては、シュウ酸、フマル酸等のジカルボン酸、乳酸等のヒドロキシカルボン酸、酢酸等の脂肪酸が挙げられる。 The present invention is characterized in that a hydrothermal reaction is performed using an organic acid transition metal salt ((R) 2 M) as a transition metal (M) source. Usually, an organic acid salt is a raw material used in a solid phase method, and it was completely unexpected that side reactions can be suppressed by using it in a hydrothermal reaction. The same transition metal as described above is used. As the organic acid represented by R, an organic acid having 1 to 20 carbon atoms is preferable, and an organic acid having 2 to 12 carbon atoms is more preferable. More specific organic acids include dicarboxylic acids such as oxalic acid and fumaric acid, hydroxycarboxylic acids such as lactic acid, and fatty acids such as acetic acid.

本発明におけるSi及びLiは、遷移金属に対してモル比で2倍以上用いることが好ましく、Si:Li:Mが1:1:2.5〜1:1:3程度がより好ましい。   In the present invention, Si and Li are preferably used in a molar ratio of 2 or more with respect to the transition metal, and Si: Li: M is more preferably about 1: 1: 2.5 to 1: 1: 3.

水分散液中のリチウム化合物の濃度は、0.30〜3.00mol/lが好ましく、さらに1.00〜1.50mol/lが好ましい。また、ケイ酸化合物の濃度は、0.15〜1.50mol/lが好ましく、さらに0.50〜0.75mol/lが好ましい。また有機酸遷移金属塩の濃度は0.15〜1.50mol/lが好ましく、さらに0.50〜0.75mol/lが好ましい。   The concentration of the lithium compound in the aqueous dispersion is preferably 0.30 to 3.00 mol / l, more preferably 1.00 to 1.50 mol / l. The concentration of the silicate compound is preferably 0.15 to 1.50 mol / l, more preferably 0.50 to 0.75 mol / l. The concentration of the organic acid transition metal salt is preferably 0.15 to 1.50 mol / l, more preferably 0.50 to 0.75 mol / l.

また、水分散液中には、必要により酸化防止剤を添加してもよく、酸化防止剤としては、ハイドロサルファイトナトリウム(Na224)、アンモニア水、亜硫酸ナトリウム等が使用できる。水分散液中の酸化防止剤の含有量は、多量に添加するとオリビン型シリケート化合物の生成を抑制してしまうため、遷移金属に対して等モル量以下が好ましく、遷移金属に対してモル比で0.5以下がさらに好ましい。 In addition, an antioxidant may be added to the aqueous dispersion as necessary. As the antioxidant, sodium hydrosulfite (Na 2 S 2 O 4 ), aqueous ammonia, sodium sulfite and the like can be used. The content of the antioxidant in the aqueous dispersion is preferably equal to or less than the transition metal in terms of a molar ratio with respect to the transition metal because it suppresses the formation of the olivine-type silicate compound when added in a large amount. 0.5 or less is more preferable.

これらの成分の水分散液は、塩基性とするのが副反応を防止し、ケイ酸化合物を溶解するうえで重要である。水分散液のpHは、塩基性であればよいが、12.0〜13.5であるのが副反応(Fe34の生成)の防止、ケイ酸化合物の溶解性及び反応の進行の点で特に好ましい。該水分散液のpHの調整は、塩基、例えば、水酸化ナトリウムを添加することにより行ってもよいが、ケイ酸化合物としてNa4SiO4を用いるのが特に好ましい。 It is important for the aqueous dispersion of these components to be basic in order to prevent side reactions and dissolve the silicate compound. The pH of the aqueous dispersion may be basic, but it is 12.0 to 13.5 to prevent side reaction (formation of Fe 3 O 4 ), solubility of the silicate compound, and progress of the reaction. Particularly preferred in terms. The pH of the aqueous dispersion may be adjusted by adding a base such as sodium hydroxide, but it is particularly preferable to use Na 4 SiO 4 as the silicate compound.

前記リチウム化合物、ケイ酸化合物及び有機酸遷移金属塩の添加順序は特に限定されない。また、大気条件下でもよい。   The order of addition of the lithium compound, silicic acid compound and organic acid transition metal salt is not particularly limited. Moreover, atmospheric conditions may be sufficient.

本発明においては、次に前記水分散液を水熱反応に付す。水熱反応は、100℃以上であればよく、130〜180℃が好ましく、さらに140〜160℃が好ましい。水熱反応は耐圧容器中で行うのが好ましく、130〜180℃で反応を行う場合この時の圧力は0.3〜0.9MPaとなり、140〜160℃で反応を行う場合の圧力は0.3〜0.4MPaとなる。水熱反応時間は1〜24時間が好ましく、さらに3〜12時間が好ましい。   In the present invention, the aqueous dispersion is then subjected to a hydrothermal reaction. The hydrothermal reaction should just be 100 degreeC or more, 130-180 degreeC is preferable and 140-160 degreeC is more preferable. The hydrothermal reaction is preferably performed in a pressure vessel. When the reaction is performed at 130 to 180 ° C, the pressure at this time is 0.3 to 0.9 MPa, and the pressure when the reaction is performed at 140 to 160 ° C is 0. 3 to 0.4 MPa. The hydrothermal reaction time is preferably 1 to 24 hours, more preferably 3 to 12 hours.

当該水熱反応により、Li2MSiO4(Mは前記と同じ)が高収率で得られる。また、得られたLiMSiO4の平均粒径は10〜100nmとなり、その結晶度も高い。 By the hydrothermal reaction, Li 2 MSiO 4 (M is the same as above) is obtained in high yield. The obtained LiMSiO 4 has an average particle size of 10 to 100 nm and a high crystallinity.

得られたLi2MSiO4は、ろ過後、乾燥することにより単離できる。乾燥手段は、凍結乾燥、真空乾燥が用いられる。 The obtained Li 2 MSiO 4 can be isolated by drying after filtration. As the drying means, freeze drying or vacuum drying is used.

得られたLi2MSiO4は、カーボン担持し、次いで焼成することにより、リチウムイオン電池用正極活物質とすることができる。カーボン担持は、Li2MSiO4に常法により、グルコース、フルクトース、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリビニルアルコール、カルボキシメチルセルロース、サッカロース、デンプン、デキストリン、クエン酸等の炭素源及び水を添加し、次いで焼成すればよい。焼成条件は、不活性ガス雰囲気下又は還元条件下に400℃以上、好ましくは400〜800℃で10分〜3時間、好ましくは0.5〜1.5時間行うのが好ましい。かかる処理によりLi2MSiO4表面にカーボンが担持された正極活物質とすることができる。炭素源の使用量は、Li2MSiO4 100質量部に対し、炭素源に含まれる炭素として3〜15質量部が好ましく、炭素源に含まれる炭素として5〜10質量部がさらに好ましい。 The obtained Li 2 MSiO 4 can be used as a positive electrode active material for a lithium ion battery by carrying carbon and then firing. Carbon support may be obtained by adding a carbon source such as glucose, fructose, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose, saccharose, starch, dextrin, citric acid, and water to Li 2 MSiO 4 and then baking. The firing conditions are 400 ° C. or higher, preferably 400 to 800 ° C. for 10 minutes to 3 hours, preferably 0.5 to 1.5 hours under an inert gas atmosphere or reducing conditions. By such treatment, a positive electrode active material in which carbon is supported on the surface of Li 2 MSiO 4 can be obtained. The amount of carbon source used is preferably 3 to 15 parts by mass as carbon contained in the carbon source and more preferably 5 to 10 parts by mass as carbon contained in the carbon source with respect to 100 parts by mass of Li 2 MSiO 4 .

得られた正極活物質は、放電容量の点で優れており、リチウムイオン電池の正極材料として有用である。本発明の正極活物質を適用できるリチウムイオン電池としては、リチウムイオン二次電池であればよく、正極と負極と電解液とセパレータを必須構成とするものであれば特に限定されない。   The obtained positive electrode active material is excellent in terms of discharge capacity, and is useful as a positive electrode material for lithium ion batteries. The lithium ion battery to which the positive electrode active material of the present invention can be applied is not particularly limited as long as it is a lithium ion secondary battery and has a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolytic solution, and a separator as essential components.

ここで、負極については、リチウムイオンを充電時には吸蔵し、かつ放電時には放出することができれば、その材料構成で特に限定されるものではなく、公知の材料構成のものを用いることができる。たとえば、リチウム金属、グラファイト又は非晶質炭素等の炭素材料等である。そしてリチウムを電気化学的に吸蔵・放出し得るインターカレート材料で形成された電極、特に炭素材料を用いることが好ましい。   Here, as long as lithium ions can be occluded at the time of charging and released at the time of discharging, the material structure is not particularly limited, and a known material structure can be used. For example, a carbon material such as lithium metal, graphite, or amorphous carbon. It is preferable to use an electrode formed of an intercalating material capable of electrochemically inserting and extracting lithium, particularly a carbon material.

電解液は、有機溶媒に支持塩を溶解させたものである。有機溶媒は、通常リチウム二次電池の電解液の用いられる有機溶媒であれば特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、カーボネート類、ハロゲン化炭化水素、エーテル類、ケトン類、ニトリル類、ラクトン類、オキソラン化合物等を用いることができる。   The electrolytic solution is obtained by dissolving a supporting salt in an organic solvent. The organic solvent is not particularly limited as long as it is an organic solvent that is usually used for an electrolyte solution of a lithium secondary battery. For example, carbonates, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, ketones, nitriles, lactones, An oxolane compound or the like can be used.

支持塩は、その種類が特に限定されるものではないが、LiPF6、LiBF4、LiClO4及びLiAsF6から選ばれる無機塩、該無機塩の誘導体、LiSO3CF3、LiC(SO3CF32及びLiN(SO3CF32、LiN(SO2252及びLiN(SO2CF3)(SO249)から選ばれる有機塩、並びに該有機塩の誘導体の少なくとも1種であることが好ましい。 The type of the supporting salt is not particularly limited, but an inorganic salt selected from LiPF 6 , LiBF 4 , LiClO 4 and LiAsF 6 , a derivative of the inorganic salt, LiSO 3 CF 3 , LiC (SO 3 CF 3 ) 2 and LiN (SO 3 CF 3 ) 2 , LiN (SO 2 C 2 F 5 ) 2 and LiN (SO 2 CF 3 ) (SO 2 C 4 F 9 ), and organic salt derivatives It is preferable that it is at least 1 type of these.
