Description

  The present invention relates to a battery using a material containing silicon (Si) or tin (Sn) as a negative electrode active material.

  In recent years, many portable electronic devices such as a camera-integrated VTR (Videotape Recorder), a digital still camera, a mobile phone, a portable information terminal, or a notebook personal computer have appeared, and the size and weight of the portable electronic device have been reduced. Accordingly, development of secondary batteries that are lightweight and can obtain a high energy density as a power source for these electronic devices is underway. Among them, lithium ion secondary batteries using a carbon material for the negative electrode, a composite material of lithium (Li) and a transition metal for the positive electrode, and a carbonate ester for the electrolyte are compared with conventional lead batteries and nickel cadmium batteries. Since a large energy density can be obtained, it is widely used.

In these lithium ion secondary batteries, for example, LiPF ₆ , LiBF ₄ , LiCF ₃ SO ₃ , LiClO ₄ , or LiAsF ₆ is used as the electrolyte salt, and exhibits relatively high conductivity. Since it exhibits high thermal stability, an imide salt such as LiN (CF ₃ SO ₂ ) ₂ , LiN (C ₂ F ₅ SO ₂ ) ₂ or LiN (C ₄ F ₉ SO ₂ ) (CF ₃ SO ₂ ) is used. Use is under consideration. Further, boron cluster salts have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

By the way, recently, with the improvement in performance of portable electronic devices, further improvement in capacity has been demanded, and the use of tin, silicon or the like as a negative electrode active material instead of a carbon material has been studied. This is because the theoretical capacity of tin is 994 mAh / g and the theoretical capacity of silicon is 4199 mAh / g, which is much larger than the theoretical capacity of graphite, 372 mAh / g, and an improvement in capacity can be expected. In particular, it has been reported that a negative electrode in which a thin film of tin or silicon is formed on a current collector can maintain a relatively large discharge capacity without pulverization of the negative electrode active material even by insertion and extraction of lithium ( For example, see Patent Document 2).

  However, tin alloys or silicon alloys that occlude lithium are highly active, so using conventional carbonates such as propylene carbonate or diethyl carbonate in the electrolyte solution decomposes them, and lithium There was a problem of being inactivated. Therefore, if charging / discharging is repeated, charging / discharging efficiency will fall and sufficient cycle characteristics could not be obtained.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this problem, The objective is to provide the battery which can improve charging / discharging efficiency.

The battery of the present invention is provided with an electrolyte together with a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and the negative electrode can occlude and release an electrode reactant, and among silicon (Si) and tin (Sn) as constituent elements It contains a negative electrode material containing at least one of, the electrolyte are those containing borate lithium salt shown in Chemical formula 1.
(Chemical formula 1)
Li ₂ B ₁₂ F _x Z _12-x
(In the formula, x is 4 or more and 12 or less on average. Z is H, Cl or Br.)

According to the battery of the present invention, since the lithium borate salt shown in Chemical Formula 1 is included in the electrolyte, it is possible to store and release the electrode reactant in the negative electrode, and silicon and tin as constituent elements. When the negative electrode material containing at least one of them is contained, the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte can be suppressed, and the discharge capacity retention rate can be improved.

  Furthermore, if a halogenated carbonate is included in the electrolyte, a higher effect can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional structure of a secondary battery according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This secondary battery is called a so-called cylindrical type, and a winding in which a strip-like positive electrode 21 and a strip-like negative electrode 22 are laminated and wound inside a substantially hollow cylindrical battery can 11 via a separator 23. An electrode body 20 is provided. The battery can 11 is made of, for example, iron (Fe) plated with nickel (Ni), and has one end closed and the other end open. An electrolyte is injected into the battery can 11 and impregnated in the separator 23. In addition, a pair of insulating plates 12 and 13 are arranged perpendicular to the winding peripheral surface so as to sandwich the winding electrode body 20.

  At the open end of the battery can 11, a battery lid 14, a safety valve mechanism 15 provided inside the battery lid 14 and a heat sensitive resistance element (Positive Temperature Coefficient; PTC element) 16 are interposed via a gasket 17. It is attached by caulking, and the inside of the battery can 11 is sealed. The battery lid 14 is made of, for example, the same material as the battery can 11. The safety valve mechanism 15 is electrically connected to the battery lid 14 via the heat sensitive resistance element 16, and the disk plate 15A is reversed when the internal pressure of the battery exceeds a certain level due to an internal short circuit or external heating. Thus, the electrical connection between the battery lid 14 and the wound electrode body 20 is cut off. When the temperature rises, the heat sensitive resistance element 16 limits the current by increasing the resistance value and prevents abnormal heat generation due to a large current. The gasket 17 is made of, for example, an insulating material, and asphalt is applied to the surface.

  For example, a center pin 24 is inserted in the center of the wound electrode body 20. A positive electrode lead 25 made of aluminum (Al) or the like is connected to the positive electrode 21 of the spirally wound electrode body 20, and a negative electrode lead 26 made of nickel or the like is connected to the negative electrode 22. The positive electrode lead 25 is electrically connected to the battery lid 14 by being welded to the safety valve mechanism 15, and the negative electrode lead 26 is welded to and electrically connected to the battery can 11.

  FIG. 2 shows an enlarged part of the spirally wound electrode body 20 shown in FIG. The positive electrode 21 has, for example, a structure in which a positive electrode active material layer 21B is provided on both surfaces or one surface of a positive electrode current collector 21A having a pair of opposed surfaces. The positive electrode current collector 21A is made of, for example, a metal foil such as an aluminum foil, a nickel foil, or a stainless steel foil.

The positive electrode active material layer 21B includes, for example, one or more of positive electrode materials capable of inserting and extracting lithium as a positive electrode active material, and a conductive material such as a carbon material and polyfluoride as necessary. A binder such as vinylidene may be included. The positive electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium does not contain lithium such as titanium sulfide (TiS ₂ ), molybdenum sulfide (MoS ₂ ), niobium selenide (NbSe ₂ ), or vanadium oxide (V ₂ O ₅ ). Examples include chalcogenides and lithium-containing compounds containing lithium.

Among these, lithium-containing compounds are preferable because some compounds can obtain a high voltage and a high energy density. Examples of such a lithium-containing compound include a composite oxide containing lithium and a transition metal element, or a phosphate compound containing lithium and a transition metal element. In particular, cobalt (Co), nickel and manganese (Mn Among these, those containing at least one of them are preferred. This is because a higher voltage can be obtained. The chemical formula is represented by, for example, Li _x MIO ₂ or Li _y MIIPO ₄ . In the formula, MI and MII contain one or more transition metal elements. The values of x and y vary depending on the charge / discharge state of the battery, and are generally 0.05 ≦ x ≦ 1.10.

Specific examples of the composite oxide containing lithium and a transition metal element include lithium cobalt composite oxide (Li _x CoO ₂ ), lithium nickel composite oxide (Li _x NiO ₂ ), and lithium nickel cobalt composite oxide (Li _x Ni _1-z Co _z O ₂ (z <1)), lithium nickel cobalt manganese composite oxide (Li _x Ni _(1-vw) Co _v Mn _w O ₂ (v + w <1)), or a spinel structure Examples thereof include lithium manganese composite oxide (LiMn ₂ O ₄ ). Among these, a composite oxide containing nickel is preferable. This is because a high capacity can be obtained and excellent cycle characteristics can also be obtained. Specific examples of the phosphate compound containing lithium and a transition metal element include, for example, a lithium iron phosphate compound (LiFePO ₄ ) or a lithium iron manganese phosphate compound (LiFe _1-u Mn _u PO ₄ (u <1)). Can be mentioned.

  The negative electrode 22 has, for example, a structure in which a negative electrode active material layer 22B is provided on both surfaces or both surfaces of a negative electrode current collector 22A having a pair of opposed surfaces, similarly to the positive electrode 21. The anode current collector 22A is made of, for example, a metal foil such as a copper foil.

  The negative electrode active material layer 22B includes, for example, any one or more of negative electrode materials capable of inserting and extracting lithium as a negative electrode active material. Examples of the negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium include a material containing tin or silicon as a constituent element. This is because tin and silicon have a large ability to occlude and release lithium, and a high energy density can be obtained.

  As such a negative electrode material, specifically, a simple substance, an alloy, or a compound of tin, a simple substance, an alloy, or a compound of silicon, or a material having one or more phases thereof at least in part. Is mentioned. In the present invention, alloys include those containing one or more metal elements and one or more metalloid elements in addition to those composed of two or more metal elements. Moreover, the nonmetallic element may be included. There are structures in which a solid solution, a eutectic (eutectic mixture), an intermetallic compound, or two or more of them coexist.

  As an alloy of tin, for example, as a second constituent element other than tin, silicon, nickel, copper (Cu), iron, cobalt, manganese, zinc (Zn), indium (In), silver (Ag), titanium ( Examples include those containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of Ti), germanium (Ge), bismuth (Bi), antimony (Sb), and chromium (Cr). As an alloy of silicon, for example, as a second constituent element other than silicon, among the group consisting of tin, nickel, copper, iron, cobalt, manganese, zinc, indium, silver, titanium, germanium, bismuth, antimony and chromium The thing containing at least 1 sort (s) of these is mentioned.

  Examples of the tin compound or silicon compound include those containing oxygen (O) or carbon (C), and may contain the second constituent element described above in addition to tin or silicon.

  Among these, as this negative electrode material, tin, cobalt, and carbon are included as constituent elements, the carbon content is 9.9 mass% or more and 29.7 mass% or less, and the total of tin and cobalt is A CoSnC-containing material having a cobalt ratio Co / (Sn + Co) of 30% by mass to 70% by mass is preferable. This is because a high energy density can be obtained in such a composition range, and excellent cycle characteristics can be obtained.

  This CoSnC-containing material may further contain other constituent elements as necessary. As other constituent elements, for example, silicon, iron, nickel, chromium, indium, niobium (Nb), germanium, titanium, molybdenum (Mo), aluminum, phosphorus (P), gallium (Ga) or bismuth is preferable. It may contain more than seeds. This is because the capacity or cycle characteristics can be further improved.

  This CoSnC-containing material has a phase containing tin, cobalt, and carbon, and this phase preferably has a low crystallinity or an amorphous structure. In this CoSnC-containing material, it is preferable that at least a part of carbon as a constituent element is bonded to a metal element or a semimetal element as another constituent element. The decrease in cycle characteristics is thought to be due to the aggregation or crystallization of tin or the like, but this is because such aggregation or crystallization can be suppressed by combining carbon with other elements. .

  As a measuring method for examining the bonding state of elements, for example, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) can be cited. In XPS, the peak of the carbon 1s orbital (C1s) appears at 284.5 eV in an energy calibrated apparatus so that the peak of the gold atom 4f orbital (Au4f) is obtained at 84.0 eV if it is graphite. . Moreover, if it is surface contamination carbon, it will appear at 284.8 eV. On the other hand, when the charge density of the carbon element increases, for example, when carbon is bonded to a metal element or a metalloid element, the C1s peak appears in a region lower than 284.5 eV. That is, when the peak of the synthetic wave of C1s obtained for the CoSnC-containing material appears in a region lower than 284.5 eV, at least a part of the carbon contained in the CoSnC-containing material is a metal element or a half of other constituent elements. Combined with metal elements.

  In XPS measurement, for example, the C1s peak is used to correct the energy axis of the spectrum. Usually, since surface-contaminated carbon exists on the surface, the C1s peak of the surface-contaminated carbon is set to 284.8 eV, which is used as an energy standard. In the XPS measurement, the waveform of the C1s peak is obtained as a shape including the surface contamination carbon peak and the carbon peak in the CoSnC-containing material. For example, by analyzing using a commercially available software, the surface contamination The carbon peak and the carbon peak in the CoSnC-containing material are separated. In the waveform analysis, the position of the main peak existing on the lowest bound energy side is used as the energy reference (284.8 eV).

  As a negative electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium, for example, a material containing another metal element or other metalloid element capable of forming an alloy with lithium as a constituent element can also be used. Examples of such metal elements or metalloid elements include magnesium (Mg), boron (B), aluminum, gallium, indium, germanium, lead (Pb), bismuth, cadmium (Cd), silver, zinc, hafnium ( Hf), zirconium (Zr), yttrium (Y), palladium (Pd), or platinum (Pt).

Especially, it is preferable to manufacture by the method using a mechanochemical reaction. This is because the negative electrode active material can have a low crystallinity or an amorphous structure. In this method, for example, a production apparatus such as a planetary ball mill apparatus or an attritor can be used.

  The negative electrode active material layer 22B may also contain other materials such as other negative electrode active materials or conductive materials in addition to the negative electrode active materials described above. Examples of the other negative electrode active material include a carbonaceous material capable of inserting and extracting lithium. This carbonaceous material is preferable because it can improve charge / discharge cycle characteristics and also functions as a conductive material. Examples of the carbonaceous material include one or two of non-graphitizable carbon, graphitizable carbon, graphite, pyrolytic carbons, coke, glassy carbons, organic polymer compound fired bodies, activated carbon and carbon black. More than seeds can be used. Among these, cokes include pitch coke, needle coke, and petroleum coke. Organic polymer compound fired bodies are carbonized by firing polymer compounds such as phenol resin and furan resin at an appropriate temperature. What you did.

  The separator 23 separates the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 22 and allows lithium ions to pass through while preventing a short circuit of current due to contact between the two electrodes. The separator 23 is made of, for example, a porous film made of synthetic resin such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, or polyethylene, or a porous film made of ceramic, and has a structure in which two or more kinds of porous films are laminated. It may be said.

  The electrolytic solution impregnated in the separator 23 includes a solvent and an electrolyte salt dissolved in the solvent.

  As the solvent, an aprotic solvent capable of dissolving the electrolyte salt is preferable, and examples thereof include esters such as carbonate ester or halogenated carbonate ester, ethers, lactones, nitriles, amides or sulfones.

A solvent may be used individually by 1 type and may be used in mixture of multiple types.

  Of these, halogenated carbonates, particularly fluorinated carbonates are preferred. This is because a good film having ion conductivity can be formed on the surface of the negative electrode 22 and the decomposition reaction of the electrolytic solution can be suppressed. One kind of halogenated carbonate may be used alone, or a plurality of kinds may be mixed and used.

Specific examples of such halogenated carbonates include 4-fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one, 4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one, and fluoromethyl methyl carbonate. (CH ₂ FOCOOCH ₃ ), bisfluoromethyl carbonate (CH ₂ FOCOOCH ₂ F), difluoromethyl methyl carbonate (CHF ₂ OCOOCH ₃ ), and the like.

The electrolyte salt includes the lithium borate salt shown in Chemical formula 1. Thereby, it is thought that a favorable film can be formed on the surface of the negative electrode 22 and the decomposition reaction of the electrolytic solution can be suppressed. Such a lithium borate salt is composed of an anion having a cage structure in which 12 boron atoms are located at the vertices of an icosahedron and a lithium cation.

The positive electrode active material layer 21B is prepared, for example, by mixing a positive electrode active material powder, a conductive material, and a binder to prepare a positive electrode mixture, and then using the positive electrode mixture in a solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The positive electrode mixture slurry is dispersed to form a positive electrode mixture slurry, and the positive electrode mixture slurry is applied to the positive electrode current collector 21A, dried, and compression molded. Further, for example, in the same manner as the positive electrode 21, the negative electrode active material layer 22 </ b> B is formed on the negative electrode current collector 22 </ b> A to produce the negative electrode 22.

Yes. The configurations of the positive electrode current collector 33A, the positive electrode active material layer 33B, the negative electrode current collector 34A, the negative electrode active material layer 34B, and the separator 35 are the same as the positive electrode current collector 21A, the positive electrode active material in the first to third embodiments described above. This is the same as the material layer 21B, the negative electrode current collector 22A, the negative electrode active material layer 22B, and the separator 23.

  The electrolyte layer 36 includes an electrolytic solution and a polymer compound serving as a holding body that holds the electrolytic solution, and has a so-called gel shape. A gel electrolyte is preferable because high ion conductivity can be obtained and battery leakage can be prevented. The configuration of the electrolytic solution is the same as that of the first embodiment. Examples of the polymer compound include, for example, an ether polymer compound such as polyethylene oxide or a crosslinked product containing polyethylene oxide, an ester polymer compound such as polymethacrylate, or an acrylate polymer compound, or polyvinylidene fluoride or vinylidene fluoride.

In particular, from the viewpoint of redox stability, it is desirable to use a fluorine-based polymer compound such as a vinylidene fluoride polymer.

  For example, the secondary battery can be manufactured as follows.

  First, a precursor solution containing an electrolytic solution, a polymer compound, and a mixed solvent is applied to each of the positive electrode 33 and the negative electrode 34, and the mixed solvent is volatilized to form the electrolyte layer 36. Next, the positive electrode lead 31 is attached to the positive electrode current collector 33A, and the negative electrode lead 32 is attached to the negative electrode current collector 34A. Subsequently, the positive electrode 33 and the negative electrode 34 on which the electrolyte layer 36 is formed are laminated via a separator 35 to form a laminated body, and then the laminated body is wound in the longitudinal direction, and the protective tape 37 is attached to the outermost peripheral portion. The wound electrode body 30 is formed by bonding. After that, for example, the wound electrode body 30 is sandwiched between the exterior members 40, and the outer edge portions of the exterior members 40 are sealed and sealed by thermal fusion or the like. At that time, the adhesion film 41 is inserted between the positive electrode lead 31 and the negative electrode lead 32 and the exterior member 40. Thereby, the secondary battery shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is completed.

  Further, this secondary battery may be manufactured as follows. First, the positive electrode 33 and the negative electrode 34 are prepared as described above, and after the positive electrode lead 31 and the negative electrode lead 32 are attached to the positive electrode 33 and the negative electrode 34, the positive electrode 33 and the negative electrode 34 are stacked via the separator 35 and wound. Rotate and adhere the protective tape 37 to the outermost periphery to form a wound body that is a precursor of the wound electrode body 30. Next, the wound body is sandwiched between the exterior members 40, and the outer peripheral edge portion excluding one side is heat-sealed to form a bag shape, and is stored inside the exterior member 40.
