Description

したがって、本発明はまず、リチウムイオン二次電池の電極のための導電性カーボンであって、親水性固相成分を含み、該親水性固相成分の、ラマンスペクトルから算出された、グラフェン面方向のねじれを含まない結晶子サイズＬａと、グラフェン面方向のねじれを含む結晶子サイズＬｅｑとが、１．３ｎｍ≦Ｌａ≦１．５ｎｍ、且つ、１．５ｎｍ≦Ｌｅｑ≦２．３ｎｍ、且つ、１．０≦Ｌｅｑ／Ｌａ≦１．５５の関係を満たし、上記親水性固相成分のラマンスペクトルにおける、１５１０ｃｍ^−１付近のアモルファス成分バンドのピーク面積の、９８０〜１７８０ｃｍ^−１の範囲のピーク面積に対する割合が、１３〜１９％、好ましくは１４〜１８％の範囲であり、且つ、上記導電性カーボン１００ｇあたりのフタル酸ジブチル吸油量が１００〜２００ｍＬの範囲であることを特徴とする導電性カーボンに関する。 Therefore, the present invention is a conductive carbon for an electrode of a lithium ion secondary battery, and includes a hydrophilic solid phase component, and the graphene surface direction calculated from the Raman spectrum of the hydrophilic solid phase component The crystallite size La that does not include twist and the crystallite size Leq that includes twist in the graphene plane direction are 1.3 nm ≦ La ≦ 1.5 nm and 1.5 nm ≦ Leq ≦ 2.3 nm. And the range of 980 to 1780 cm ⁻¹ of the peak area of the amorphous component band in the vicinity of 1510 cm ⁻¹ in the Raman spectrum of the hydrophilic solid phase component, satisfying the relationship of 1.0 ≦ Leq / La ≦ 1.55 The ratio to the peak area is 13 to 19%, preferably 14 to 18%, and dibutyl phthalate absorption per 100 g of the conductive carbon. It relates to conductive carbon, characterized in that the amount of oil is in the range of 100 to 200 mL.

波形分離の結果得られた成分ｄ、すなわちＧバンドのピーク面積、成分ｂ、すなわちＤバンドのピーク面積、及び、成分ｆ、すなわち２Ｄバンドのピーク面積を用いて、Ｌａ及びＬｅｑが以下の式に従って算出される。
Ｌａ＝４．４×（Ｇバンドのピーク面積／Ｄバンドのピーク面積）ｎｍ
Ｌｅｑ＝８．８×（２Ｄバンドのピーク面積／Ｄバンドのピーク面積）ｎｍ Using the component d obtained as a result of the waveform separation, that is, the peak area of the G band, the component b, that is, the peak area of the D band, and the component f, that is, the peak area of the 2D band, La and Leq are in accordance with the following expressions: Calculated.
La = 4.4 × (G band peak area / D band peak area) nm
Leq = 8.8 × (2D band peak area / D band peak area) nm

本発明の導電性カーボンは、高い柔軟性を有し、導電性カーボンに圧力が印加されると、カーボンの粒子が変形して糊状に広がるが、この性質は、導電性カーボンの低いストラクチャと、導電性カーボンに含まれる親水性固相成分に主に起因する。導電性カーボンのＤＢＰ吸油量は、１００〜２００ｍＬ／１００ｇである。また、親水性固相成分のラマンスペクトルから算出されたグラフェン面方向のねじれを含まない結晶子サイズＬａと、グラフェン面方向のねじれを含む結晶子サイズＬｅｑとは、１．３ｎｍ≦Ｌａ≦１．５ｎｍ、且つ、１．５ｎｍ≦Ｌｅｑ≦２．３ｎｍ、且つ、１．０≦Ｌｅｑ／Ｌａ≦１．５５の関係を満たし、この親水性固相成分のラマンスペクトから算出されたアモルファス成分率は、１３〜１９％、好ましくは１４〜１８％の範囲である。本発明の導電性カーボンにおける親水性固相成分は、リチウムイオン二次電池の電極形成のために従来使用されているケッチェンブラック、アセチレンブラック等の導電性カーボンの親水性固相成分に比較して、Ｌａ及びＬｅｑの値が小さく、Ｌｅｑ／Ｌａの値を尺度として判断されるグラフェン面におけるねじれが少なく、またアモルファス成分率が高いという特徴を有する。 The conductive carbon of the present invention has high flexibility, and when pressure is applied to the conductive carbon, the carbon particles are deformed and spread in a paste-like shape. This is mainly due to the hydrophilic solid phase component contained in the conductive carbon. The conductive carbon has a DBP oil absorption of 100 to 200 mL / 100 g. Further, a crystallite size La not including a twist in the graphene plane direction calculated from a Raman spectrum of the hydrophilic solid phase component and a crystallite size Leq including a twist in the graphene plane direction are 1.3 nm ≦ La ≦ 1. .5 nm and 1.5 nm ≦ Leq ≦ 2.3 nm and 1.0 ≦ Leq / La ≦ 1.55 and satisfy the relationship of 1.0 ≦ Leq / La ≦ 1.55 and calculated from the Raman spectrum of this hydrophilic solid phase component The component ratio is in the range of 13 to 19%, preferably 14 to 18%. The hydrophilic solid phase component in the conductive carbon of the present invention is compared with the hydrophilic solid phase component of conductive carbon such as ketjen black and acetylene black conventionally used for forming electrodes of lithium ion secondary batteries. Thus, the values of La and Leq are small, the twist on the graphene surface judged by using the value of Leq / La is small, and the amorphous component ratio is high.

表１には、実施例１〜３及び比較例１，２の導電性カーボンについての、ＤＢＰ吸油量、Ｌａ、Ｌｅｑ、Ｌｅｑ／Ｌａ、アモルファス成分率及び電極密度の値をまとめて示す。ＤＢＰ吸油量が２００ｍＬ／１００ｇよりも大きく、親水性固相成分のＬａ、Ｌｅｑが、１．３ｎｍ≦Ｌａ≦１．５ｎｍ、且つ、１．５ｎｍ≦Ｌｅｑ≦２．３ｎｍ、且つ、１．０≦Ｌｅｑ／Ｌａ≦１．５５の関係を満たさず、親水性固相成分のアモルファス成分率が１３％未満である比較例１，２の導電性カーボンを使用しても、電極密度が上がらず、言い換えると電極材料中の活物質粒子の量を増加させることができないことがわかる。

Table 1 summarizes the values of DBP oil absorption, La, Leq, Leq / La, amorphous component ratio, and electrode density for the conductive carbons of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2. DBP oil absorption is larger than 200 mL / 100 g, La and Leq of the hydrophilic solid phase component are 1.3 nm ≦ La ≦ 1.5 nm and 1.5 nm ≦ Leq ≦ 2.3 nm , and Even if the conductive carbon of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in which the amorphous component ratio of the hydrophilic solid phase component does not satisfy the relationship of 1.0 ≦ Leq / La ≦ 1.55 and the amorphous component ratio is less than 13%, the electrode density is low. It can be seen that the amount of active material particles in the electrode material cannot be increased.
