[0008]
When the battery packaging material is an embossed type, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (d), the laminated packaging material 10 is press-molded to form the recess 7.
[0009]

If the polyethylene-based resin forming the sealant layer 14 is low-density polyethylene or linear low-density polyethylene, burrs are generated in the punched portion obtained by the die set punching die, One part may not be able to be extracted and may impair productivity.
[0010]

[0013]
When the outer body of a lithium ion battery is an embossed type, it is formed by press molding in the side wall portion when it is formed by a sandwich lamination method, dry lamination method, coextrusion lamination method, thermal lamination method, etc. Delamination often occurs between the material layers, and delamination also occurs in a portion where the lithium ion battery main body is housed in an exterior body and its periphery is heat sealed.
Moreover, the surface of the inner surface of aluminum may be attacked by hydrogen fluoride generated by the reaction between the electrolyte, which is a component of the battery, and moisture, and delamination may occur.
[0014]
The present inventors have a good embossing formability, a laminated body in which delamination does not occur between the base material layer and the barrier layer at the time of embossing molding or heat sealing, and lithium having content resistance. As a result of diligent research on packaging materials that can be satisfied as an outer package for an ion battery, it has been found that it can be solved by forming a laminate using various laminating methods described below.
In the first method of laminating, delamination is performed by subjecting both surfaces of the barrier layer to chemical conversion and dry laminating the base material layer and the barrier layer, and the barrier layer and the sealant layer with a two-component curable adhesive. I found that it can be avoided. The two-component curable adhesive includes, for example, a main agent and a hardener, and the main agent includes at least two kinds of sebacic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, octatanic acid, nonannic acid, undecanoic acid, and palmitic acid. A blend of an acid component, a polyester resin composed of an alcohol component containing at least one of ethylene glycol, hexanediol, and diethylene glycol, and a bisphenol A type epoxy resin, and the curing agent is composed of a polyisocyanate component.
[0015]
In the second laminating method, an acid-modified polyethylene emulsion liquid is applied to the chemical conversion treated surface 15 (2) by a roll coat method or the like, dried and baked at a temperature of 170 to 200 ° C., and then a sealant film. It was confirmed that the adhesive strength of the laminate was improved by laminating by thermocompression bonding.
The acid-modified polyethylene is unsaturated carboxylic acid grafted polyethylene.
[0016]
It was also confirmed that stable adhesive strength could be obtained by the following third laminating method.
For example, the base material layer 11 and one surface of the barrier layer 12 are dry-laminated, and the acid-modified polyethylene 13 is extruded onto the other surface (chemical conversion layer) of the barrier layer 12 as shown in FIG. When the layer 14 is sandwich-laminated or as a fourth laminating method, the acid-modified polyethylene resin 13 and the sealant layer are coextruded to form a laminate, and the resulting laminate is then used as the acid-modified polyethylene resin 13. By heating to a condition that is equal to or higher than the softening point, it was possible to obtain a laminate having a predetermined adhesive strength.
Specific heating methods in the third and fourth laminating methods include methods such as a hot roll contact method, a hot air method, a near or far infrared ray, and any heating method may be used in the present invention. As described above, it is sufficient that the adhesive resin can be heated to the softening point temperature or higher.
[0017]
Further, as another method, in the sandwich lamination or coextrusion lamination, the bonding is also performed by heating to a condition that the surface temperature of the barrier layer 12 on the sealant layer 14 side reaches the softening point of the acid-modified polyolefin resin 13. A laminate with stable strength could be obtained.
In addition, it is possible to use polyethylene resin as an adhesive resin. In this case, it is desirable to laminate the aluminum-side laminate surface of the extruded polyethylene molten resin film while performing ozone treatment.
[0018]
In the battery packaging material of the present invention, for each of the layers in the laminate forming the outer package, film forming properties, lamination processing, final product secondary processing (pouching, embossing) suitability are improved and stabilized as appropriate. For this purpose, surface activation treatment such as corona treatment, blast treatment, oxidation treatment, and ozone treatment may be performed.
[0019]
Next, each layer which comprises the battery packaging material of this invention is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the battery packaging material of the present invention is a laminate composed of at least a base material layer 11, an adhesive layer 16, aluminum 12, a chemical conversion treatment layer 15, an adhesive layer 13d, and a multilayer sealant layer 14. When the exterior body to be described later is an embossed type, as shown in FIG. 1B, the laminate is a base material layer 11, an adhesive layer 16, a chemical conversion treatment layer 15 (1), aluminum. 12, the chemical conversion treatment layer 15 (2), the adhesive layer 13 d, and the multilayer sealant layer 14 are desirable.
The base material layer 11 in the outer package is made of stretched polyester or nylon film. At this time, examples of the polyester resin include polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polybutylene naphthalate, copolymer polyester, polycarbonate, and the like. Can be mentioned. Examples of nylon include polyamide resin, that is, nylon 6, nylon 6,6, a copolymer of nylon 6 and nylon 6,6, nylon 6,10, polymetaxylylene adipamide (MXD6), and the like.
When the base material layer 11 is used as a battery, the base material layer 11 is a part that is in direct contact with the hardware. Considering the existence of pinholes in the film alone and the occurrence of pinholes during processing, the base material layer needs to have a thickness of 6 μm or more, and preferably 12 to 30 μm.
[0020]
The base material layer 11 can also be laminated in order to improve pinhole resistance and insulation when used as a battery outer package.
When the base material layer is laminated, the base material layer includes at least one resin layer of two or more layers, and the thickness of each layer is 6 μm or more, preferably 12 to 30 μm. Examples of laminating the base material layer include the following 1) to 8).
1) Stretched polyethylene terephthalate / stretched nylon 2) Stretched nylon / stretched stretched polyethylene terephthalate In addition, packaging material mechanical suitability (transport stability in packaging machines and processing machines), surface protection (heat resistance, electrolyte resistance) ) When the battery exterior body is made an embossed type as a secondary processing, the base material layer is protected when the embossing is applied for the purpose of reducing the frictional resistance between the mold and the base material layer during embossing. In order to achieve this, the base material layer may be multilayered, and a fluororesin layer, an acrylic resin layer, a silicone resin layer, a polyester resin layer, or a resin layer made of a blend thereof may be provided on the surface of the base material layer. preferable.
For example,
3) Fluorine resin / stretched polyethylene terephthalate (Fluorine resin is a film or formed by drying after liquid coating)
4) Silicone resin / stretched polyethylene terephthalate (silicone resin is a film or formed by drying after liquid coating)
5) Fluorine-based resin / stretched polyethylene terephthalate / stretched nylon 6) Silicone-based resin / stretched polyethylene terephthalate / stretched nylon 7) Acrylic resin / stretched nylon (Acrylic resin is film-like or cured after drying by liquid coating)
8) Acrylic resin + polysiloxane graft acrylic resin / stretched nylon (acrylic resin is film-like or cured by drying after liquid coating)
[0021]
The barrier layer 12 is a layer for preventing water vapor from entering the inside of the battery from the outside, stabilizing the pinhole and processability (pouching, embossing formability) of the barrier layer alone, and being resistant to resistance. In order to have a pinhole, a metal such as aluminum or nickel having a thickness of 15 μm or more, or a film on which an inorganic compound such as silicon oxide or alumina is deposited may be used. The aluminum is 80 μm.
In order to further improve the generation of pinholes and to make the battery exterior body type an embossed type, in order to prevent the occurrence of cracks in the embossing molding, the present inventors have made a material for aluminum used as a barrier layer. However, when the iron content is 0.3 to 9.0% by weight, preferably 0.7 to 2.0% by weight, the extensibility of aluminum is better than that of aluminum not containing iron. The present inventors have found that the occurrence of pinholes due to bending is reduced as a laminate, and the side wall can be easily formed when the embossed type exterior body is formed. When the iron content is less than 0.3% by weight, effects such as prevention of pinholes and improvement of embossing formability are not observed, and the iron content of the aluminum exceeds 9.0% by weight. In such a case, the flexibility as aluminum is hindered, and the bag-making property is deteriorated as a laminate.
[0022]
In addition, aluminum produced by cold rolling changes its flexibility, waist strength and hardness under annealing (so-called annealing treatment) conditions, but the aluminum used in the present invention is harder than the non-annealed hard-treated product. Aluminum that tends to be soft, with some or complete annealing, is preferred.
The degree of flexibility, waist strength and hardness of aluminum, that is, the conditions for annealing, may be appropriately selected in accordance with processability (pouching, embossing). For example, in order to prevent wrinkles and pinholes during embossing, it is desirable to use soft aluminum annealed according to the degree of forming.
[0023]
The present inventors have been able to obtain a laminate that is satisfactory as the packaging material by subjecting the front and back surfaces of aluminum, which is the barrier layer 12 of the battery packaging material, to chemical conversion. Specifically, the chemical conversion treatment is to form an acid-resistant film such as phosphate, chromate, fluoride, triazine thiol compound, etc. Among the acid-resistant film-forming substances, phenol resin, chromium fluoride (3) Phosphoric acid chromate treatment using a compound and three components of phosphoric acid is good. Or the chemical conversion treatment agent which contains metals, such as molybdenum, titanium, a zircon, or a metal salt in the resin component containing a phenol resin at least was favorable. Due to the formation of the acid-resistant film, delamination between aluminum and the base material layer during embossing is prevented, and the aluminum surface is dissolved and corroded by hydrogen fluoride generated by the reaction between the battery electrolyte and moisture. In particular, the aluminum oxide existing on the surface of aluminum is prevented from being dissolved and corroded, and the adhesion (wetting property) of the aluminum surface is improved, and the base material layer 11 and the aluminum 12 at the time of embossing and heat sealing. The effect of preventing delamination on the inner surface of aluminum by hydrogen fluoride generated by the reaction between electrolyte and moisture was obtained.
As a result of conducting a chemical conversion treatment on the aluminum surface using various substances and studying the effect thereof, among the acid-resistant film forming substances, it is composed of three components of a phenol resin, a chromium fluoride (3) compound, and phosphoric acid. The treatment with phosphoric acid chromate using the sample was good.
Or the chemical conversion treatment agent which contains metals, such as molybdenum, titanium, a zircon, or a metal salt in the resin component containing a phenol resin at least was favorable.
[0024]
When the exterior body is a pouch type, the chemical conversion treatment of aluminum may be performed on one side only on the sealant layer side or on both sides of the base material layer side and the sealant layer side. When the battery outer body is an embossed type, delamination between the aluminum and the base material layer during embossing can be prevented by subjecting both surfaces of the aluminum to chemical conversion treatment.
[0025]
The sealant layer in the battery packaging material of the present invention is a multilayer sealant including a high-density polyethylene layer as described above.
