Description

  The present invention relates to a battery packaging material that can suppress the occurrence of a short circuit between a battery electrode and a metal layer of a packaging material by heat sealing at the time of sealing, and further suppress the occurrence of cracks.

  Conventionally, various types of batteries have been developed. In any battery, a packaging material is an indispensable member for sealing battery elements such as electrodes and electrolytes. Conventionally, metal packaging materials have been frequently used as battery packaging.

  On the other hand, in recent years, with the improvement in performance of electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, personal computers, cameras, mobile phones, etc., batteries are required to have various shapes, and are also required to be thinner and lighter. However, metal battery packaging materials that have been widely used in the past have the disadvantages that it is difficult to follow the diversification of shapes and that there is a limit to weight reduction.

  Therefore, in recent years, a film-like laminate in which a base material / metal layer / sealant layer are sequentially laminated has been proposed as a packaging material for batteries that can be easily processed into various shapes and can be made thin and light. Yes. In such a film-like laminate, polyethylene or polypropylene, which is a crystalline thermoplastic resin, is generally used as the sealant layer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, when polyethylene or polypropylene is used as the sealant layer, the crystalline polyethylene or polypropylene is excessively crushed during heat sealing when sealing the battery element, causing a short circuit between the battery electrode and the metal layer of the packaging material. There is a problem that it becomes easy.

  Furthermore, since polyethylene and polypropylene are crystalline, when they are used in the sealant layer, there is a problem that cracks are likely to occur for the following reasons: (1) The film is stretched because it is crystalline. Cracks are likely to occur during molding. (2) After sealing the battery element (after heat sealing), the crystallinity cannot be managed in the cooling stage, so cracks are particularly likely to occur when folding the seal part. (3) For batteries In the heat treatment during the manufacturing process of the packaging material and the battery, the sealant layer may be heated to the melting point of polyethylene or polypropylene, and it is difficult to manage the crystallinity in the cooling process, so that cracks are likely to occur. ) When foreign matter is mixed into the sealant layer, crazes (cracks) are likely to occur along the crystal part starting from the foreign matter. Thus, when a crack arises in the battery packaging material, the electrolytic solution penetrates into the metal layer to form a metal deposit, and as a result, a short circuit may occur.

  Against the background of such conventional technology, in the battery packaging material composed of a film-like laminate, the battery electrode and the metal layer of the packaging material are provided by heat sealing at the time of sealing while having the basic performance required as a battery packaging material. The development of a technique that prevents short circuit between the two and further suppresses the generation of cracks is eagerly desired.

(1) Acid-modified cycloolefin copolymer The acid-modified cycloolefin copolymer used in the adhesive resin layer A is a polymer obtained by modifying a copolymer of ethylene and norbornene with a carboxylic acid. More specifically, the acid-modified cycloolefin copolymer is a copolymer obtained by adding an α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid or an anhydride thereof together with ethylene and norbornene, or for a copolymer of ethylene and norbornene. It is a polymer obtained by block polymerization or graft polymerization of α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride.

  The α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof used for carboxylic acid modification includes, for example, α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, and more specifically. Maleic acid, acrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, maleic anhydride, itaconic anhydride and the like. Among these, modification with maleic anhydride is preferable because it can ensure adhesion with a metal layer that is stable for a long period of time and is suitable for mass production.

In particular, as the copolymer of ethylene and norbornene, those copolymerized using a metallocene catalyst are preferably used. Based on the above-mentioned characteristics, the copolymer polymerized using a metallocene catalyst can more effectively exhibit the effect of preventing short circuit that occurs inside the battery by heat sealing and the effect of suppressing the occurrence of cracks. become. Moreover, the copolymer of ethylene and norbornene polymerized using a metallocene catalyst has good compatibility with the carboxylic acid-modified polyolefin, and can form a uniform blend resin. If the resin to be blended is poorly compatible, cracking at the interface is likely to occur when stretched, and peeling at the interface is likely to occur due to heat at the time of sealing.
