Description

本発明は、リチウムイオン電池用正極合剤ペースト及びその製造方法、当該リチウムイオン電池用正極合剤ペーストを用いて製造された正極合剤層を含む、リチウムイオン電池用電極及びリチウムイオン電池、並びにリチウムイオン電池用正極合剤ペーストの保存安定性向上方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a positive electrode mixture paste for lithium ion battery and a method for producing the same, a lithium ion battery electrode and a lithium ion battery including a positive electrode mixture layer manufactured using the positive electrode mixture paste for lithium ion battery, and The present invention relates to a method for improving the storage stability of a positive electrode material mixture paste for lithium ion batteries.

リチウムイオン電池は、鉛蓄電池やニッケル水素電池等に比べ、重量や体積当たりのエネルギー密度が高いため、搭載電子機器の小型化、軽量化に寄与している。近年、自動車のゼロエミッションにむけた取り組みとして、ハイブリッド自動車や電機自動車が普及してきており、その燃費向上や走行距離の延長にリチウムイオン電池の性能アップが重要なカギとなっている。   Lithium ion batteries have higher energy density per unit weight and volume than lead storage batteries and nickel hydrogen batteries, and so contribute to the downsizing and weight reduction of mounted electronic devices. In recent years, hybrid cars and electric cars have been widely used as an approach for zero emission of cars, and the performance improvement of lithium ion batteries is important for improving the fuel efficiency and extending the driving distance.

リチウムイオン電池は、一般的に、正極、セパレータ、負極の3層構造に非水系電解液が満たされた構造を有している。正極及び負極は、例えば、活物質と導電材とバインダーを混合した合剤ペーストを集電体に塗工して製造される。現在、負極の製造方法としては、集電体となる銅箔に水系スラリー(合剤ペースト)を塗工乾燥する水系プロセスが主流であり、正極の製造方法としては、溶媒としてN−メチルピロリドン等の有機溶媒を用いて正極合剤ペーストを作製し、集電体となるアルミニウム箔に塗工する非水系プロセスが主流である。   A lithium ion battery generally has a structure in which a non-aqueous electrolytic solution is filled in a three-layer structure of a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are manufactured, for example, by coating a current collector with a mixture paste in which an active material, a conductive material, and a binder are mixed. At present, an aqueous process in which an aqueous slurry (mixture paste) is coated and dried on a copper foil serving as a current collector is mainly used as a method of manufacturing a negative electrode, and as a method of manufacturing a positive electrode, N-methylpyrrolidone etc. is used as a solvent The non-aqueous process of producing the positive mix paste using the organic solvent of, and applying to the aluminum foil used as a collector is the mainstream.

近年、高容量のリチウムイオン二次電池を得ることを目的として、ニッケルやマンガンを多く含むアルカリ性の高い正極活物質が使用されるようになってきているが、そのような正極活物質を使用した場合、正極合剤ペーストが、徐々に流動性を失い、増粘し、ゲル化するという問題が生じる。正極合剤ペーストが流動性を失うと、均質な塗工厚さを得ることが困難となるだけでなく、場合によっては、塗布が行えなくなり材料の無駄が生じてしまうことにもつながる。特に、リチウムニッケル遷移金属複合酸化物はこの問題が顕著に表れる。   In recent years, a highly alkaline positive electrode active material containing a large amount of nickel and manganese has come to be used for the purpose of obtaining a high capacity lithium ion secondary battery, but such a positive electrode active material was used. In this case, there is a problem that the positive electrode mixture paste gradually loses fluidity, thickens, and gels. When the positive electrode mixture paste loses its fluidity, it not only becomes difficult to obtain a uniform coating thickness, but in some cases, it can not be applied and leads to waste of material. In particular, lithium-nickel transition metal complex oxides exhibit this problem remarkably.

この問題を解決するため、例えば、特許文献1には、水に分散しても強いアルカリ性を示さないように正極合剤ペーストの調製を行うことで、正極合剤ペーストのゲル化を抑制する技術等が開示されている。   In order to solve this problem, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology for suppressing the gelation of the positive electrode mixture paste by preparing the positive electrode mixture paste so as not to show strong alkalinity even when dispersed in water. Etc. are disclosed.

しかし、特許文献1に記載の方法で、強いアルカリ性を示さないように正極合剤ペーストを調製することは、厳格なpH管理が必要となるだけでなく、正極活物質を一度水に分散し、分散液から濾過して正極活物質を取り出し乾燥をするという処理が必要であり、作業の煩雑さや歩留まりの低下を招いてしまう。また、前記のような処理を行うことで、正極活物質自体の性能低下も引き起こしてしまう可能性もある。   However, preparing the positive electrode material mixture paste so as not to show strong alkalinity by the method described in Patent Document 1 requires not only strict pH control but also dispersing the positive electrode active material in water once, A process of filtering out the dispersion liquid and taking out the positive electrode active material and drying it is necessary, which causes the complexity of the operation and the reduction of the yield. Moreover, there is also a possibility that performance degradation of the positive electrode active material itself may be caused by performing the above-mentioned treatment.

本発明によれば、簡便な方法により、増粘及びゲル化を抑制して、保存安定性が向上し且つ固形分の高濃度化が可能な、リチウムイオン電池用正極合剤ペーストを提供できる。また、正極合剤ペーストの増粘及びゲル化が抑制されるので、正極合剤ペースト中における、正極活物質及び導電材等の固形分の分散性が良好となり、均質な正極合剤層を形成することが可能となるので、リチウムイオン電池用電極及びリチウムイオン電池の品質向上が期待できる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a positive electrode mixture paste for a lithium ion battery, which can suppress thickening and gelation by a simple method, improve storage stability, and increase the solid concentration.

And a positive electrode material mixture paste for lithium ion battery (hereinafter sometimes may be abbreviated as “positive electrode mixture paste”). “The organic polymer is an organic polymer exhibiting spinnability in an N-methylpyrrolidone solution having a concentration of 0.001% to 3% by mass and a liquid temperature of 25 ° C.” This means that the N-methylpyrrolidone solution having a concentration of 0.001% to 3% by mass and a liquid temperature of 25 ° C. exhibits spinnability.

本発明の効果発現のメカニズムの詳細は明らかではないが、以下のことが推定される。本発明では、正極合剤ペーストに曳糸性有機ポリマーが含まれていることにより、曳糸性有機ポリマーが、その溶媒であるNメチルピロリドン中に含まれる微量の水との相互作用(例えば水素結合)により高分子ネットワークを形成して、水を拘束し、正極活物質であるリチウム金属複合酸化物に含まれるLiO2等のアルカリ成分と水との反応を抑制することによって、増粘及びゲル化の抑制が可能となり、保存安定性を向上したものと考えられる。このように、正極合剤ペーストの増粘及びゲル化が抑制されるので、正極合剤ペースト中における、正極活物質及び導電材等の固形分の分散性が良好となるので、均質な正極合剤層を形成することが可能となる。また、正極合剤ペーストにおける固形分の濃度を向上することも可能となる。このように、本発明によれば、正極合剤ペーストの製造過程で、曳糸性有機ポリマーを添加し混合するという簡単な方法により、正極合剤ペーストの保存安定性を向上できるし、正極合剤ペーストにおける固形分の高濃度化も可能となる。したがって、本発明の正極合剤ペーストをリチウムイオン電池用電極(正極)の作製に用いた場合、リチウムイオン電池の製造におけるコスト低減を図ることができると考えられる。正極合剤ペーストにおける固形分の濃度を上げられるため、Nメチルピロリドンの使用量を低減でき、更にそれを除去するための乾燥に必要なエネルギーを低減でき、コスト低減を図ることができる。但し、これらは推定であって、本発明はこれらメカニズムに限定して解釈されない。 Although the details of the mechanism of the effect expression of the present invention are not clear, the following can be presumed. In the present invention, since the positive electrode mixture paste contains the spinnable organic polymer, the spinnable organic polymer interacts with a small amount of water contained in the solvent N-methylpyrrolidone (for example, hydrogen ) To form a polymer network, thereby constraining water and suppressing the reaction of water with an alkaline component such as LiO 2 contained in the lithium metal composite oxide that is a positive electrode active material, thereby thickening and forming a gel. Can be suppressed, and it is considered that storage stability is improved. As described above, since thickening and gelation of the positive electrode mixture paste are suppressed, the dispersibility of solid components such as the positive electrode active material and the conductive material in the positive electrode mixture paste is improved, so that uniform positive electrode synthesis is achieved. It becomes possible to form an agent layer. In addition, it is also possible to improve the concentration of solid content in the positive electrode mixture paste. As described above, according to the present invention, the storage stability of the positive electrode mixture paste can be improved by a simple method of adding and mixing the spinnable organic polymer in the process of manufacturing the positive electrode mixture paste. It is also possible to increase the solid content of the agent paste. Therefore, when the positive electrode material mixture paste of the present invention is used for producing a lithium ion battery electrode (positive electrode), it is considered that cost reduction in manufacturing of a lithium ion battery can be achieved. Since the concentration of solid content in the positive electrode mixture paste can be increased, the amount of N methyl pyrrolidone used can be reduced, the energy required for drying to remove it can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. However, these are only estimates, and the present invention is not interpreted as being limited to these mechanisms.

The mass ratio of the positive electrode active material, the conductive material, and the binder (binder) contained in the positive electrode material mixture paste of the present invention may be the same as in the case of the conventionally known battery, and may be arbitrarily adjusted according to the use aptitude of the battery it can.

[Definition of spinnability]
Here, the spinnability is a so-called "threading" property in which the stretching property of the object appears, and for example, "natto threading" etc. can be mentioned as a prominent example.

表2に示されるように、曳糸性有機ポリマーを含む実施例1〜2の正極合剤ペーストの保存安定性は、曳糸性の無い有機ポリマーを含む比較例1〜3の正極合剤ペーストと比較して、良好であった。一方、曳糸性の無い有機ポリマーを含む比較例3の正極合剤は、固形分濃度が76.6%と高濃度であるためペースト状にならず集電体への塗工自体が困難であった。しかしながら、実施例2の曳糸性有機ポリマーを含む正極合剤は、ペースト状になり、集電体への塗工が可能であった。このことから、曳糸性有機ポリマーを用いると、固形分の濃度が高い正極合剤ペーストを調製可能であることがわかる。   As shown in Table 2, the storage stability of the positive electrode mixture paste of Examples 1 and 2 containing the spinnable organic polymer was higher than that of the positive electrode mixture paste of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 containing the organic polymer having no spinnability. It was good compared with. On the other hand, the positive electrode mixture of Comparative Example 3 containing an organic polymer without spinnability has a high solid content concentration of 76.6% and does not become paste-like and coating on the current collector itself is difficult. there were. However, the positive electrode mixture containing the spinnable organic polymer of Example 2 was in the form of a paste and could be applied to the current collector. From this, it is understood that when using a spinnable organic polymer, it is possible to prepare a positive electrode mixture paste having a high concentration of solid content.

本発明は、簡単な方法により、ペーストにおける固形分濃度を上げることができ、且つ、保存安定性が良好であるので、リチウムイオン電池の製造におけるコストダウンに寄与し得る。   The present invention can contribute to cost reduction in the manufacture of a lithium ion battery because the solid concentration in the paste can be increased by a simple method and the storage stability is good.
