Description

本発明は、非水系リチウム二次電池の正極活物質に関し、この正極活物質の充填性改善と二次電池の小型化・薄型化に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous lithium secondary battery, and relates to improving the filling property of the positive electrode active material and reducing the size and thickness of the secondary battery.

リチウム二次電池は、ニッケルカドミウム電池、ニッケル水素電池に比べて、エネルギー密度が高く、携帯端末の分野で急速に普及している。また、EVや電力貯蔵の分野でも期待されている。リチウム二次電池は正極、負極およびセパレータを容器内に配置し、有機溶媒による非水電解液を充填して構成されている。正極活物質はアルミニウム箔等の集電体に正極活物質を塗布し加圧成形したものである。正極活物質としてはコバルト酸リチウム(LiCoO2)、ニッケル酸リチウム(LiNiO2)、スピネル型マンガン酸リチウム(LiMn2O4)などに代表されるようなリチウムと遷移金属の複合酸化物(以下、リチウム遷移金属酸化物と言う。)の粉体が主として用いられている。これら正極活物質の合成は一般にリチウム化合物(Li2CO3 等)粉末と遷移金属化合物(MnO2, Co3O, NiO等)粉末を混合し、焼成してリチウム遷移金属酸化物とする方法が広く採用されている。正極活物質を集電体に塗布するには、正極活物質に重量比で数%〜数十%程度の炭素粉を混ぜ、さらにPVDF(ポリフッ化ビリニデン)、PTFE(ポリテトラフルオロエチレン)等の結着材と混練してペースト状にして集電体箔上に厚み20μm〜100μmに塗布、乾燥、プレス工程を経て正電極が作られている。 Lithium secondary batteries have higher energy density than nickel cadmium batteries and nickel metal hydride batteries, and are rapidly spreading in the field of portable terminals. It is also expected in the field of EV and power storage. A lithium secondary battery is configured by arranging a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator in a container and filling a non-aqueous electrolyte with an organic solvent. The positive electrode active material is formed by applying a positive electrode active material to a current collector such as an aluminum foil and press-molding it. As a positive electrode active material, lithium and transition metal composite oxides (hereinafter referred to as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2 ), lithium nickelate (LiNiO 2 ), spinel type lithium manganate (LiMn 2 O 4 ), etc.) A powder of lithium transition metal oxide) is mainly used. The synthesis of these positive electrode active materials is generally a method in which lithium compound (Li 2 CO 3 etc.) powder and transition metal compound (MnO 2 , Co 3 O 4 , NiO etc.) powder are mixed and calcined to obtain a lithium transition metal oxide. Is widely adopted. In order to apply the positive electrode active material to the current collector, carbon powder of several percent to several tens% by weight is mixed with the positive electrode active material, and further PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), etc. A positive electrode is made by kneading with a binder to form a paste, and applying, drying, and pressing steps on the current collector foil to a thickness of 20 μm to 100 μm.

これら正極活物質は、電気伝導率が10-1〜10-6S/cm2で一般の導体と比べ低く、アルミニウム集電体と正極活物質間の電気伝導度および電気的接触状況は、電池のサイクル特性、放電レート特性に大きな影響を与える。そこで、アルミニウム集電体と正極活物質間もしくは活物質相互間の電気伝導率を更に高めるように、正極活物質よりも電気伝導率の高い炭素粉等の導電助材が使用される。従来のコバルト酸リチウムやスピネル型マンガン酸リチウム正極活物質を集電体箔に塗布形成した後の正極活物質の粒形態を見ると、粒径はサブミクロンオーダーの一次粒子が凝集した二次粒子から成っている。通常、その粒形態は様々な大きさと形状を持ち、さらに凝集の仕方のバラツキにより二次粒子径も0.1μm〜100μm程度のバラツキがありその分布にも均一性が見られなかった。そして、正極活物質としては、専ら粉砕して粒径を細かくし比表面積を大きくした状態で、電極表
面に塗布するなどの試みがなされている。

These positive electrode active materials have an electric conductivity of 10 -1 to 10 -6 S / cm 2 and are lower than those of general conductors. The electrical conductivity and electrical contact between the aluminum current collector and the positive electrode active material are This greatly affects the cycle characteristics and discharge rate characteristics. Therefore, a conductive material such as carbon powder having a higher electric conductivity than the positive electrode active material is used so as to further increase the electric conductivity between the aluminum current collector and the positive electrode active material or between the active materials. Looking at the particle shape of the positive electrode active material after coating and forming a conventional lithium cobaltate or spinel type lithium manganate positive electrode active material on the current collector foil, the particle size of the secondary particles is agglomerated primary particles of submicron order Consists of. Usually, the particle form has various sizes and shapes, and the secondary particle diameter varies from about 0.1 μm to 100 μm due to the variation in aggregation method, and the distribution is not uniform. As the positive electrode active material, an attempt has been made to apply the positive electrode active material to the electrode surface in a state where the particle size is reduced and the specific surface area is increased.
JP 2000-223118 A

以上述べた従来技術において、通常の方法で合成されたコバルト酸リチウムやスピネル型マンガン酸リチウム等の正極活物質粒子は、粒子径がサブミクロンオーダーの一次粒子が凝集した二次粒子から構成されている。このため二次粒子の粒度分布に広がりを持っており、粒子形状もさまざまで一定しない。このような正極活物質は導電助材、結着材と混練してアルミニウム電極上に塗布された場合、導電助材間との良好な接触を得るのが難しい。そのため、充放電サイクルが進行するに従い、正極活物質自身が導電助剤や集電体に対し電気的に接触不良をおこし容量劣化の原因となる。また、電池の容量は、電池内にどれだけ上記正極材粉末を充填させるかによっても大きく左右される。前記のように粒子形状が一定しない粉末は、粒子間の摩擦抵抗が大きく、流動性に著しく乏しい。そのため、電池内へ充填させた場合、もしくは集電体に塗布、プレスした場合、充填性が悪く、高容量電池を作成する場合の障害となっている。   In the prior art described above, the positive electrode active material particles such as lithium cobaltate and spinel type lithium manganate synthesized by the usual method are composed of secondary particles in which primary particles are aggregated in the order of submicron order. Yes. For this reason, the particle size distribution of the secondary particles is wide, and the particle shape is various and not constant. When such a positive electrode active material is kneaded with a conductive additive and a binder and applied onto an aluminum electrode, it is difficult to obtain good contact with the conductive additive. For this reason, as the charge / discharge cycle progresses, the positive electrode active material itself causes a poor electrical contact with the conductive additive and the current collector, causing capacity deterioration. Further, the capacity of the battery greatly depends on how much the positive electrode material powder is filled in the battery. As described above, the powder having a non-constant particle shape has a large frictional resistance between particles and is extremely poor in fluidity. For this reason, when the battery is filled, or when applied to a current collector and pressed, the filling property is poor, which is an obstacle to producing a high-capacity battery.

上記問題に対し、これまで本願発明者らは特開2000−223118号公報に示されたようにディスク式スプレードライヤを用いて噴霧乾燥する方法を検討してきた。この方法は、原料と水の混合物であるスラリーを回転する円盤(ディスク)上に滴下することにより微粒化し、これを乾燥室にて乾燥するため、平均粒径が30〜150μm程度の球状粒子が得ることが出来る。
しかしながら、ディスク式スプレードライヤを用いた場合、20μm以下の球状粒子を製造することは難しく、特に10μm以下の球状粒子を製造することは不可能であった。また、仮に製造できたとしても、収率が低いなどの量産性に乏しい条件でしか製造できなかった。
In order to solve the above problems, the inventors of the present invention have so far studied a method of spray drying using a disk type spray dryer as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-223118. In this method, a slurry which is a mixture of a raw material and water is atomized by dropping it onto a rotating disk (disk) and dried in a drying chamber, so that spherical particles having an average particle diameter of about 30 to 150 μm are formed. Can be obtained.
However, when a disk-type spray dryer is used, it is difficult to produce spherical particles of 20 μm or less, and in particular, it is impossible to produce spherical particles of 10 μm or less. Even if it could be manufactured, it could only be manufactured under conditions of poor mass productivity such as low yield.

そこで本発明の目的は、20μm以下の球状粒子を製造することを可能となし、正極活物質の電池内への充填性を改善し、電池容量を向上させることである。この点で本発明で使用する4流体ノズルを用いた噴霧乾燥方法は、20μm以下の球状粒子を製造する上で、生産性、コスト面で有効な球状化方法である。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to produce spherical particles of 20 μm or less, improve the filling property of the positive electrode active material into the battery, and improve the battery capacity. In this respect, the spray drying method using a four-fluid nozzle used in the present invention is a spheroidizing method that is effective in terms of productivity and cost in producing spherical particles of 20 μm or less.

本発明の非水系リチウム二次電池用正極活物質は、リチウム及び遷移金属からなる複合酸化物である非水系リチウム二次電池用正極活物質であって、噴霧乾燥によって球状化された球状粒子であり、前記球状粒子の平均粒径が1〜20μmであり、その粒度分布に複数のピ−クを持つことを特徴とする。
負極と、リチウム及び遷移金属からなる複合酸化物を正極活物質として塗布成形した正極と、その間にセパレータを配し、非水電解質を充填したリチウム二次電池が構成される。正極活物質は、遷移金属化合物とリチウム化合物と水とを所定割合で混合してスラリーを作製し、このスラリーを4流体ノズルを備えた噴霧乾燥装置を用いて噴霧乾燥し、焼成することにより得られる。かかる噴霧乾燥によって球状粒子が得られる。本発明の非水系リチウム二次電池用正極活物質は、前記球状粒子の平均粒径が1〜20μmで、且つ最大粒径が50μm以下であり、その粒度分布に複数のピ−クを持つことを特徴とする。
前記噴霧乾燥は、噴霧ガスの圧力は0.1〜10MPa、乾燥温度は100〜350℃で行うことが望ましい。噴霧ガスの圧力が0.1MPa未満の場合、スラリーを十分に微粒化できなくなり、また10MPaを超える場合、装置が大型となり実用的でない。乾燥温度が100℃未満の場合、乾燥が不十分であり、また350℃を越える場合、添加するバインダーが分解してしまう。
また、前記焼成は、大気あるいは酸素雰囲気中で、温度800〜1100℃で行うことが望ましい。800℃未満の温度で焼成する場合、焼結がほとんど進行せず、また1100℃を超える温度で焼成する場合、粒子同士がくっついて解砕できなくなる。なおスピネル型マンガン酸リチウムの場合、焼成を900℃以上で行うと、結晶格子に歪を生じてサイクル特性が劣化するため、500〜700℃で熱処理を行うことが望ましい。
The positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous lithium secondary battery of the present invention is a positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous lithium secondary battery that is a composite oxide composed of lithium and a transition metal, and is a spherical particle that is spheroidized by spray drying. The spherical particles have an average particle diameter of 1 to 20 μm and have a plurality of peaks in the particle size distribution.
A negative electrode, a positive electrode obtained by applying and molding a composite oxide composed of lithium and a transition metal as a positive electrode active material, and a lithium secondary battery in which a separator is arranged between them and filled with a nonaqueous electrolyte are configured. The positive electrode active material is obtained by mixing a transition metal compound, a lithium compound, and water at a predetermined ratio to prepare a slurry, spray-drying the slurry using a spray-drying apparatus equipped with a four-fluid nozzle, and firing the slurry. is Ru. Spherical particles are obtained by such spray drying . The positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous lithium secondary battery of the present invention has an average particle diameter of 1 to 20 μm and a maximum particle diameter of 50 μm or less, and has a plurality of peaks in its particle size distribution. It is characterized by.
The spray drying is preferably performed at a spray gas pressure of 0.1 to 10 MPa and a drying temperature of 100 to 350 ° C. When the pressure of the spray gas is less than 0.1 MPa, the slurry cannot be sufficiently atomized, and when it exceeds 10 MPa, the apparatus becomes large and impractical. When the drying temperature is less than 100 ° C, the drying is insufficient, and when it exceeds 350 ° C, the added binder is decomposed.
The firing is desirably performed at a temperature of 800 to 1100 ° C. in the air or an oxygen atmosphere. When firing at a temperature below 800 ° C., sintering hardly progresses, and when firing at a temperature above 1100 ° C., the particles adhere to each other and cannot be crushed. In the case of spinel type lithium manganate, if the firing is performed at 900 ° C. or higher, the crystal lattice is distorted and the cycle characteristics are deteriorated. Therefore, it is desirable to perform the heat treatment at 500 to 700 ° C.

また、本発明の非水系リチウム二次電池用正極活物質は、Co、Mn、Ni等の遷移金属化合物の少なくとも1種とリチウム化合物と水とを混合して4流体ノズルを用いて噴霧乾燥した後、焼成してリチウム遷移金属複合酸化物としたもので、前記球状粒子の粒度分布に複数のピ−クを持たせるために、別々に粒度を調整し、粒径の異なる粉末を混合させることによって達成できる。このとき、前記球状粒子の粒径の粒度分布は複数のピーク、好ましくは2つのピ−クを持ち、さらにその2つのピークの粒径比は2以上であることが望ましい。さらに望ましくは粒径比が6〜7である。
ここで前記粒径の異なる粉末は、前記4流体ノズルを備えた噴霧乾燥装置を用いて得た(平均粒径20μmの)球状粒子と、前記4流体ノズルを備えた噴霧乾燥装置を用いて得た(平均粒径3μmの)不定形の粒子とすることができる。
Further, the positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous lithium secondary battery of the present invention was mixed with at least one transition metal compound such as Co, Mn, Ni, a lithium compound and water, and spray-dried using a four-fluid nozzle. After that, it is fired to form a lithium transition metal composite oxide, and in order to have a plurality of peaks in the particle size distribution of the spherical particles, the particle size is adjusted separately and powders having different particle sizes are mixed. Can be achieved. At this time, the particle size distribution of the spherical particles has a plurality of peaks, preferably two peaks, and the particle size ratio of the two peaks is preferably 2 or more. More desirably, the particle size ratio is 6-7.
Here, the powders having different particle diameters are obtained using spherical particles (having an average particle diameter of 20 μm) obtained using a spray drying apparatus equipped with the four-fluid nozzle and using a spray-drying apparatus equipped with the four-fluid nozzle. In addition, it may be an amorphous particle (having an average particle diameter of 3 μm).

これら本発明により合成された正極材は、4流体ノズルを用いて噴霧乾燥により平均粒径が1〜20μmの球状粒子となっている。従来技術で製造した正極材に比べ、粒子間の摩擦抵抗が小さく流動性に優れるため、電極上に塗布した場合、むらなく均一に塗布できる。また、20μm以下の薄型の正電極の製造も可能である。加えて粒度分布が2つのピ−クを持っていることから、粒子間の隙間にも小さい粒子が充填されていき、更に密に充填される。このため電池内へ充填できる正極材の量を大きくすることが可能であり、電池として高容量を得ることが可能となった。また、正極の充填率が高いと、正極粒子間、導電助剤との接触性が良くなり、電気的な接触状態も良好になるため、サイクル特性も良好となる。   These positive electrode materials synthesized according to the present invention are spherical particles having an average particle diameter of 1 to 20 μm by spray drying using a four-fluid nozzle. Compared with the positive electrode material manufactured by the prior art, since the frictional resistance between particles is small and the fluidity is excellent, when applied on the electrode, it can be uniformly applied. In addition, a thin positive electrode having a thickness of 20 μm or less can be manufactured. In addition, since the particle size distribution has two peaks, the gaps between the particles are also filled with small particles and more densely packed. For this reason, it is possible to increase the amount of the positive electrode material that can be filled in the battery, and it is possible to obtain a high capacity as a battery. Further, when the filling rate of the positive electrode is high, the contact property between the positive electrode particles and the conductive additive is improved, and the electrical contact state is also improved, so that the cycle characteristics are also improved.

本発明におけるリチウム遷移金属酸化物は、非水系リチウム二次電池用正極活物質として有用なもので、遷移金属化合物がコバルト化合物、ニッケル化合物、マンガン化合物から選ばれる化合物である。例えばスピネル型マンガン酸リチウム、コバルト酸リチウムが適当である。コバルト酸リチウムを正極活物質として用いた場合その二次電池の充放電特性が特に大きくなり、安価なマンガンを用いているスピネル型マンガン酸リチウムを正極活物質として用いた場合でも従来に比して大きな充放電特性が得られる。   The lithium transition metal oxide in the present invention is useful as a positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous lithium secondary battery, and the transition metal compound is a compound selected from a cobalt compound, a nickel compound, and a manganese compound. For example, spinel type lithium manganate and lithium cobaltate are suitable. When lithium cobaltate is used as the positive electrode active material, the charge / discharge characteristics of the secondary battery are particularly large, and even when spinel type lithium manganate using inexpensive manganese is used as the positive electrode active material, Large charge / discharge characteristics can be obtained.

本発明によれば、充填性の優れた高容量で、駆動用電源として好ましい非水系リチウム二次電池用の正極活物質及びそれを用いた正極、非水系リチウム二次電池を提供することが出来る。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the positive electrode active material for non-aqueous lithium secondary batteries with a high capacity | capacitance excellent in filling property, and preferable as a drive power supply, a positive electrode using the same, and a non-aqueous lithium secondary battery can be provided. .

以下、本発明の実施例を図面を参照して説明する。
先ず、本発明による非水系リチウム二次電池用正極活物質は、図1のフローチャートに従って製造される。
まず工程1で原料として、焼成によって酸化物となる遷移金属、例えばコバルト、ニッケル、マンガンの化合物(例えばCo3O4,CoO, Co(OH)2,NiO, MnO2, Mn3O4,Mn2O3, MnCO3,)と、焼成によって酸化物となるリチウム化合物(例えばLi2CO3, LiOH,LiCl)とを所定の割合で混合する。
これらの粉末を工程2で水を加えて樹脂でコートしたボールを使ってボールミル中で例えば50時間混合しスラリーを作製する。原料には必要により添加元素として充放電特性を改善するためにCr, Al, Co, Ni,Mo,Wの酸化物などを加えることもできる。またスラリーにはPVA溶液を固形分に換算して1wt%前後添加することが好ましい。
工程3でスラリーをスプレードライヤで噴霧乾燥させて平均粒径1〜20μmの球状粒子を作製する。噴霧乾燥とは、微粒化装置を用いて乾燥室に微粒化したスラリーを供給し、乾燥させて球状粒子を得る方法である。ここで微粒子を作製する方法としては、ディスク式、加圧ノズル式、2流体ノズル式の3種類の方法が従来用いられてきたが、これらの方法では一般に30μm以上の球状粒子しか製造できなかった。しかしながら、以下で説明する4流体ノズルを用いれば1〜20μmの球状粒子が製造可能であることが判った。
次に工程4で焼成する。この焼成によって用いた原料が酸化物となって、スピネル型マンガン酸リチウム、コバルト酸リチウムなどリチウム遷移金属酸化物となる。焼成は大気中や酸素中800℃〜1100℃で10分から24時間行う。この焼成は2回以上行っても良い。
そして焼成後の粒子の粒子径を調整する場合には、工程5においてライカイ機などで解砕し、さらに工程6にて篩い分けを行う。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
First, the positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous lithium secondary battery according to the present invention is manufactured according to the flowchart of FIG.
First, as a raw material in Step 1, a transition metal that becomes an oxide by firing, for example, a compound of cobalt, nickel, manganese (for example, Co 3 O 4 , CoO, Co (OH) 2 , NiO, MnO 2 , Mn 3 O 4 , Mn) 2 O 3 , MnCO 3 ) and a lithium compound (for example, Li 2 CO 3 , LiOH, LiCl) that becomes an oxide by firing are mixed at a predetermined ratio.
These powders are mixed in a ball mill for 50 hours, for example, using balls coated with resin by adding water in Step 2 to produce a slurry. If necessary, Cr, Al, Co, Ni, Mo, and W oxides can be added to the raw material as an additive element to improve charge / discharge characteristics. Moreover, it is preferable to add around 1 wt% of PVA solution in terms of solid content to the slurry.
In step 3, the slurry is spray-dried with a spray dryer to produce spherical particles having an average particle diameter of 1 to 20 μm. Spray drying is a method of obtaining spherical particles by supplying a slurry that has been atomized into a drying chamber using a atomizer and drying the slurry. Here, as a method for producing the fine particles, three types of methods of a disk type, a pressure nozzle type, and a two-fluid nozzle type have been conventionally used, but generally only spherical particles of 30 μm or more can be produced by these methods. . However, it has been found that spherical particles having a size of 1 to 20 μm can be produced using a four-fluid nozzle described below.
Next, it is baked in step 4. The raw material used by this baking becomes an oxide, and becomes a lithium transition metal oxide such as spinel type lithium manganate and lithium cobaltate. Firing is performed in air or oxygen at 800 ° C. to 1100 ° C. for 10 minutes to 24 hours. This firing may be performed twice or more.
And when adjusting the particle diameter of the particle | grains after baking, in a process 5, it crushes with a liika machine etc., and also sifts in a process 6.

本発明のリチウム遷移金属酸化物からなる正極活物質はその粒度分布が2つのピ−クを持つことが望ましい。さらに望ましいのは、粒度分布の2つのピ−クの粒径比が2以上である。このように粒度分布に2つのピ−クを持たせるためには、粒度の異なる2種類の粉を用意し混合することで実施できる。例えば、平均粒径20μmの粉と平均粒径3μmの粉を約1:1の割合で混ぜれば2つの望ましいピークが得られる。   The positive electrode active material comprising the lithium transition metal oxide of the present invention preferably has two peaks in the particle size distribution. More preferably, the particle size ratio of the two peaks in the particle size distribution is 2 or more. Thus, in order to have two peaks in the particle size distribution, two types of powders having different particle sizes can be prepared and mixed. For example, if a powder having an average particle diameter of 20 μm and a powder having an average particle diameter of 3 μm are mixed at a ratio of about 1: 1, two desirable peaks can be obtained.

さて、図1のフローチャートにおける噴霧乾燥は、例えば図2および図3に示すような4流体ノズルおよび噴霧乾燥装置を用いることができる。図3の4流体ノズルは、原料と液体(例えば、水)の混合物に、ノズル先端部分で気体(例えば、空気)を衝突させて霧状に微粒化する装置である。この4流体ノズルは、2つの液体路と2つの気体路から出た流体が1点で衝突するため、20μm以下の微粒化が可能である。また、図2の噴霧乾燥装置は、4流体ノズルで微粒化した液滴を乾燥室で熱風に接触させ、瞬時に乾燥する装置である。このため、4流体ノズルで作製した微粒子をそのまま乾燥でき、20μm以下の球状粒子得ることができる。   For the spray drying in the flowchart of FIG. 1, for example, a four-fluid nozzle and a spray drying apparatus as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can be used. The four-fluid nozzle in FIG. 3 is a device that atomizes a mixture of a raw material and a liquid (for example, water) with a gas (for example, air) at the tip of the nozzle to atomize the mixture. In this four-fluid nozzle, the fluid discharged from the two liquid passages and the two gas passages collide at one point, so that atomization of 20 μm or less is possible. In addition, the spray drying apparatus of FIG. 2 is an apparatus that makes droplets atomized by a four-fluid nozzle come into contact with hot air in a drying chamber and instantly dries. For this reason, the fine particles produced by the four-fluid nozzle can be dried as they are, and spherical particles of 20 μm or less can be obtained.

このようにして得られた球状化された正極活物質であると粒子間の摩擦が軽減され、また粒度分布が2つのピ−クを持っているような粒径となっていると、集電体箔上に塗布するとき粒子と粒子の間に粒子が入り込みやすく充填性が高くなる。また、まんべんなく均一な厚さに塗布できる。   When the spheroidized positive electrode active material obtained in this way has a particle size such that friction between particles is reduced and the particle size distribution has two peaks, When it is applied on the body foil, the particles are likely to enter between the particles and the filling property is improved. Moreover, it can apply evenly and uniformly.

本発明による正極活物質の特性評価は以下の手順で行った。まず、レーザー回折式粒度分布計にて、正極材の平均粒径および粒度分布を測定した。次に正極材、導電助材(炭素粉)、結着剤(8wt%PVdF/NMP)を重量比で85:10:5の割合でメノウ鉢にて混練しスラリ−状の合材とした。得られた合材を厚さ2μmの集電体(Al箔)上に約200μm厚に塗布した。この時、電極の塗布状態を目視にて確認した。塗布した合材は乾燥後、所定の寸法(巾10mm、長さはおよそ50mm)に切断し金型を用いて1.5×104ton/m2の圧力でプレスした。このときの塗布厚と、単位面積あたりの重量から、電極密度を測定した。得られた正極は十分に電解液(エチレンカ−ボネ−ト:ジメチルカ−ボネ−ト=1:2、電解質1M-LiPF)に浸潤した後、セパレータ(25mm厚ポリエチレン)、金属リチウム対極、試験用電池とした。セルが電気化学的に平衡になるように数時間程度放置してから、充放電測定装置に接続し、電池の放電容量の測定を行った。 The characteristics evaluation of the positive electrode active material according to the present invention was performed according to the following procedure. First, the average particle size and particle size distribution of the positive electrode material were measured with a laser diffraction particle size distribution meter. Next, the positive electrode material, the conductive additive (carbon powder), and the binder (8 wt% PVdF / NMP) were kneaded in an agate bowl at a weight ratio of 85: 10: 5 to obtain a slurry-like composite material. The obtained composite material was applied to a thickness of about 200 μm on a current collector (Al foil) having a thickness of 2 μm. At this time, the application state of the electrode was visually confirmed. The applied composite material was dried, cut into predetermined dimensions (width 10 mm, length approximately 50 mm), and pressed at a pressure of 1.5 × 10 4 ton / m 2 using a mold.

表1より、本発明の製造条件に沿って製造した球状粉体によれば、電極の塗布状態と電極密度及び放電容量において好ましい結果を得ることが出来た。これに対して、焼成温度が800℃未満になると、反応不足のため解砕時に球状粒子が破壊されて粒径が小さくなり電極密度や放電容量が低下する結果となった。また、焼成温度が1100℃を超えると、反応過剰となって球状粒子同士がくっついて粒径が大きくなり、塗布時に電極に凹凸が出来たり、放電容量の低下が起こることが分かった。

From Table 1, according to the spherical powder manufactured according to the manufacturing conditions of the present invention, favorable results were obtained in the application state of the electrode, the electrode density, and the discharge capacity. On the other hand, when the calcination temperature was less than 800 ° C., due to insufficient reaction, spherical particles were destroyed at the time of pulverization, and the particle size was reduced, resulting in a decrease in electrode density and discharge capacity. In addition, it was found that when the firing temperature exceeds 1100 ° C., the reaction becomes excessive and the spherical particles stick together to increase the particle size, and the electrode is uneven during coating or the discharge capacity is reduced.
In addition, when a disk-type spray drying apparatus was used as in Comparative Example 3, the average particle diameter of the spherical particles was 31 μm, and the electrodes were uneven during coating, and the electrode density and discharge capacity were reduced.
In Example 5, two peaks clearly appear in the vicinity of about 4 μm and about 20 μm, indicating that the coating condition is good and the electrode density and discharge capacity are higher than those of the other examples.

From Table 2, according to the spherical powder produced according to the production conditions of the present invention, favorable results were obtained in the applied state of the electrode, the electrode density, and the discharge capacity. On the other hand, when the firing temperature was less than 800 ° C., due to insufficient reaction, spherical particles were destroyed at the time of crushing, the particle size was reduced, and the electrode density and discharge capacity were reduced.
