【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、非水電解質二次電池の、とくにその極板に用いる結着剤の結着力向上に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
現在、非水電解質二次電池の負極活物質には炭素材料が用いられている。この炭素材料の特性として充放電時において炭素がリチウムイオンを吸蔵し活物質粒子が膨張し、放電時にはリチウムイオンを放出することで活物質粒子が収縮する。この充放電に伴う膨張収縮により極板内に存在する電子伝導のネットワークが切断され、電池容量や充放電レート特性が劣化するという問題を有している。特に、充放電サイクルの繰り返しに伴い極板の劣化が蓄積され、電池のサイクル寿命特性を低下させる原因となっている。
【0003】
活物質粒子の膨張収縮に伴い極板内の電子伝導ネットワークが切断されていく原因としては、極板を所定の合剤密度にまで圧延する工程において合剤層中の結着剤が切断され、十分に結着力を発揮していないことが原因と考えられる。従って、圧延工程を行わなければ上記問題を解決することができるが、極板体積当たりの容量が低下し電池の高エネルギー密度化が達成できなくなる。また、圧延後も強度な結着力を保持できるように結着剤を過剰に投入する方法があるが、活物質粒子の表面を過度に被覆することになり電池の充放電における高レート特性を低下させることになる。
【0004】
これらを解決する手段として特開平8−203500号公報では、極板の圧延を所定の温度において行うことで結着剤の塑形変形を起こし圧延時の結着剤の損傷を最小限にとどめ、これにより充放電サイクルに伴う結着剤の劣化を防ぐ方法が提案されている。しかし、この方法においても、黒鉛粒子のような滑り易い粒子では、通常行われるロール圧延時に粒子の移動が大きく結着剤の塑形変形だけでは対応できない。その結果、結着力が不充分となり充放電における電子伝導ネットワークの破壊が生じることになる。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記課題を解決するものであり、充放電のサイクルに伴う合剤中の結着剤が劣化し電子ネットワークが破壊されることを抑制し、電池のサイクル寿命特性を向上させることを目的とするものである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の課題を解決すべく、本発明の非水電解質二次電池用極板の製造方法は、
(1)活物質としての炭素材料と及び結着剤を含む合剤をペースト化し導電性の支持体に塗布して合剤層を設けた後乾燥し極板を作製する工程と、前記極板を加圧成形する工程と、前記加圧成形後の極板の合剤層に結着剤を溶解又は分散保持可能な溶媒を含ませる工程と、前記溶媒を除去する工程を経ることとするもの、
(2)活物質としての炭素材料と及び結着剤を含む合剤をペースト化し導電性の支持体に塗布して合剤層を設けた後乾燥し極板を作製する工程と、前記極板に結着剤を溶解又は分散保持可能な溶媒を含ませる工程と、前記溶媒を含んだ極板を結着剤のガラス転移点以上の温度で加圧成形する工程とを経ることとするもの、
(3)活物質としての炭素材料と及び結着剤を含む合剤をペースト化し導電性の支持体に塗布して合剤層を設けた後乾燥し極板を作製する工程と、前記極板を加圧成形する工程と、前記加圧成形後の合剤層に結着剤を再度含ませる工程を経るもので、前記合剤層に結着剤を再度含ませる工程が、結着剤を溶解又は分散保持した溶媒を合剤層に含ませ、その後極板を乾燥させるものとするもの、である。
【0007】
(1)の製造方法においては、加圧成形後の合剤層に結着剤を溶解又は分散保持可能な溶媒を含ませることにより、溶媒が結着剤を溶解し、加圧圧延工程で切断された粒子と結着剤とを再度接合し、投入した結着剤の効果を最大限に発揮させることができる。
【0008】
(2)の製造方法は、加圧成形を行う前に結着剤の柔軟性を持たせるために次の2つの工程を行うものである。1つは、結着剤を溶解又は分散保持可能な溶媒を合剤層に含ませることで、結着剤に溶剤を含ませて柔軟な状態にするものである。もう1つは、使用する結着剤のガラス転移点以上の温度で加圧成形を行うものである。これにより、結着剤の柔軟性を向上することにより接合が切断されることなく加圧圧延後においても十分な結着力
を保持することができる。
【0009】
(3)の製造方法は、加圧成形後に結着剤を再度導入するものである。すなわち、合剤ペースト中に混合する初期の結着剤は活物質を最低限つなげておけるだけの量だけにしておく。粒子と初期の結着剤との接合は加圧成形により切断される。そこで、再度結着剤を導入することで粒子と結着剤の接合を再生することができる。このときには、粒子と結着剤の接合が充放電サイクルに耐えうる量の結着剤を含ませることが必要である。加圧成形後に必要な結着剤を入れていることから、結着剤の変形も行われないため、上記(1)〜(2)の製造方法よりも強固な極板が得られる製造方法である。
【0010】
以上のいずれかの製造方法により極板を作製することにより、合剤の加圧成形後においても結着剤の効力を保持し、充放電のサイクルに伴う結着剤の劣化を最小限にとどめ、サイクル寿命特性の向上を図ることができる。
【0011】
さらに、前記炭素材料には、XRD測定による(002)面の面間隔が0.337nm以下の高結晶性の黒鉛を用いると好ましい。
【0012】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the improvement of the binding force of a binder used for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, particularly for its electrode plate.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Currently, a carbon material is used as a negative electrode active material of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery. As a characteristic of the carbon material, carbon absorbs lithium ions during charge / discharge and the active material particles expand, and during discharge, the active material particles contract by releasing lithium ions. Due to the expansion and contraction associated with this charge / discharge, the network of electron conduction existing in the electrode plate is cut, and the battery capacity and charge / discharge rate characteristics deteriorate. In particular, the deterioration of the electrode plate accumulates as the charge / discharge cycle is repeated, causing the cycle life characteristics of the battery to deteriorate.
[0003]
As a cause of the electron conduction network in the electrode plate being cut along with the expansion and contraction of the active material particles, the binder in the mixture layer is cut in the step of rolling the electrode plate to a predetermined mixture density, It is thought that the cause is that the binding power is not sufficiently exhibited. Therefore, the above problem can be solved if the rolling process is not performed, but the capacity per electrode plate volume is lowered, and the high energy density of the battery cannot be achieved. In addition, there is a method of adding an excessive amount of binder so that a strong binding force can be maintained even after rolling, but the surface of the active material particles is excessively covered, and the high rate characteristics in charge / discharge of the battery are reduced. I will let you.
[0004]
As a means for solving these problems, JP-A-8-203500 discloses that the electrode plate is rolled at a predetermined temperature to cause plastic deformation of the binder, thereby minimizing the damage to the binder during rolling. Thus, a method for preventing the deterioration of the binder accompanying the charge / discharge cycle has been proposed. However, even in this method, with slippery particles such as graphite particles, the movement of the particles is large at the time of usual roll rolling, and it cannot be handled only by plastic deformation of the binder. As a result, the binding force is insufficient and the electron conduction network is destroyed during charging and discharging.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
This invention solves the said subject, suppresses that the binder in the mixture accompanying the cycle of charging / discharging deteriorates and destroys an electronic network, and improves the cycle life characteristic of a battery. It is the purpose.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the method for producing the electrode plate for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present invention is as follows.
(1) A step of preparing an electrode plate by pasting a mixture containing a carbon material as an active material and a binder, applying the mixture onto a conductive support, providing a mixture layer, and drying the electrode plate; The step of pressure-molding, the step of including a solvent capable of dissolving or dispersing the binder in the mixture layer of the electrode plate after pressure molding, and the step of removing the solvent ,
(2) Pasting a carbon material as an active material and a binder containing a binder, applying the mixture onto a conductive support, providing a mixture layer, and drying to prepare an electrode plate; A step of including a solvent capable of dissolving or dispersing and holding the binder, and a step of pressure-molding the electrode plate containing the solvent at a temperature equal to or higher than the glass transition point of the binder,
(3) Pasting a carbon material as an active material and a binder containing a binder into a conductive support and providing a mixture layer, followed by drying to produce an electrode plate; And the step of re-adding the binder into the mixture layer after the pressure molding, and the step of re-adding the binder into the mixture layer comprises the step of: A solvent dissolved or dispersed and held is included in the mixture layer, and then the electrode plate is dried .
[0007]
In the production method of ( 1 ), by adding a solvent capable of dissolving or dispersing and holding the binder in the mixture layer after pressure molding, the solvent dissolves the binder and cuts in the pressure rolling step. The formed particles and the binder can be joined again to maximize the effect of the input binder.
[0008]
In the production method ( 2 ), the following two steps are performed in order to give the binder flexibility before performing pressure molding. One is to include a solvent that can dissolve or disperse the binder in the mixture layer so that the binder is included in a flexible state. The other is pressure molding at a temperature equal to or higher than the glass transition point of the binder used. Thereby, it is possible to maintain a sufficient binding force even after the pressure rolling without cutting the joint by improving the flexibility of the binder.
[0009]
In the production method ( 3 ), the binder is introduced again after the pressure molding. That is, the initial binder mixed in the mixture paste is kept in an amount sufficient to connect the active material at a minimum. The bonding between the particles and the initial binder is cut by pressure molding. Therefore, the bonding between the particles and the binder can be regenerated by introducing the binder again. At this time, it is necessary to include an amount of the binder capable of withstanding the charge / discharge cycle in the bonding between the particles and the binder. Since a necessary binder is added after pressure molding, since the binder is not deformed, the production method can obtain a stronger electrode plate than the production methods (1) to ( 2 ) above. Oh Ru.
[0010]
By producing an electrode plate by any of the above manufacturing methods, the effectiveness of the binder is maintained even after the mixture is pressure-molded, and the deterioration of the binder accompanying the charge / discharge cycle is minimized. The cycle life characteristics can be improved.
[0011]
Further, it is preferable to use highly crystalline graphite having a (002) plane spacing of 0.337 nm or less as measured by XRD.
[0012]

[0026]
A cylindrical nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery was constructed in the same manner as in Reference Example 1 except that the production process of the negative electrode plate was changed.
[0027]
(Comparative Example 1)
A negative electrode plate was produced as follows. A mixture of 97% by weight of graphite and 3% by weight of a polyvinylidene fluoride resin as a binder was dispersed in a 1% aqueous solution of carboxymethylcellulose to prepare a slurry, which was applied onto a negative electrode current collector made of copper foil. The agent layer was provided and dried. The negative electrode plate thus produced was subjected to pressure molding so that the mixture had a constant density.
[0028]
A cylindrical nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery was constructed in the same manner as in Reference Example 1 except that the production process of the negative electrode plate was changed.
[0029]
(Evaluation)
A charge / discharge cycle test was performed on the batteries of the reference example and Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1. CVCC charging with an upper limit of the battery voltage of 4.2 V was performed, the maximum limiting current was set to 1 A, and charging was terminated when the current reached 100 mA. The discharge was performed at a constant current of 1400 mA until 3.0 V, and the resting time when switching between charge and discharge was 20 minutes. In addition, charging / discharging was performed in a 20 degreeC thermostat.
[0030]
The number of cycles when the discharge capacity of the battery was reduced to 50% when the discharge capacity at the first cycle was 100% was used as an index for evaluating the cycle characteristics as the cycle life of the battery. In the first cycle and the 100th cycle, the discharged battery was disassembled, the thickness of the negative electrode plate was measured, and the density of the mixture was calculated. (Density change rate of mixture with cycle) = ((mixture density at 100th cycle) − (mixture density at first cycle)) / (mixture density at first cycle) It was used as an index of density change. Table 1 shows the results.
[0031]
[Table 1]
[0032]
In the batteries of Reference Examples and Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention, it can be confirmed that the negative electrode plate is small and the cycle characteristics are good. On the other hand, in the comparative battery, the electrode plate is greatly swollen, and the electronic network in the mixture is cut off, and the cycle characteristics are considered to be deteriorated.
[0033]
In the present embodiment, water is shown as an example of a solvent capable of dispersing and holding the binder, but an organic solvent such as ethanol may also be used.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the electrode plate is produced by the manufacturing method of the present invention, thereby minimizing the deterioration of the binder accompanying the charge / discharge cycle of the battery and keeping the electronic network in the mixture well. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having excellent life characteristics can be obtained.
