Description
本発明は、リチウムイオン二次電池用負極活物質として用いた際に、高い初回充放電効率、良好なサイクル特性を有する炭素被膜を有する被覆粒子の製造方法、リチウムイオン二次電池用負極活物質、ならびにこれを負極に用いたリチウムイオン二次電池及び電気化学キャパシタに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method for producing coated particles having a carbon film having high initial charge / discharge efficiency and good cycle characteristics when used as a negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery, and a negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery. And a lithium ion secondary battery and an electrochemical capacitor using the same as a negative electrode.
近年、携帯型の電子機器、通信機器等の著しい発展に伴い、経済性と機器の小型化、軽量化の観点から、高エネルギー密度の非水電解質二次電池が強く要望されている。従来、この種の非水電解質二次電池の高容量化策として、例えば、負極材料にB、Ti、V、Mn、Co、Fe、Ni、Cr、Nb、Mo等の酸化物及びそれらの複合酸化物を用いる方法、熔湯急冷したM100-xSix(x≧50at%,M=Ni、Fe、Co、Mn)を負極材として適用する方法、負極材料に珪素の酸化物を用いる方法、負極材料にSi2N2O,Ge2N2O及びSn2N2Oを用いる方法等が知られている。 In recent years, with the remarkable development of portable electronic devices, communication devices, etc., there is a strong demand for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries with high energy density from the viewpoints of economy and downsizing and weight reduction of devices. Conventionally, as a measure for increasing the capacity of this type of non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, for example, negative electrode materials such as oxides such as B, Ti, V, Mn, Co, Fe, Ni, Cr, Nb, and Mo and composites thereof Method using oxide, method using M 100-x Si x (x ≧ 50 at%, M = Ni, Fe, Co, Mn) quenched with molten metal as a negative electrode material, method using silicon oxide as negative electrode material A method using Si 2 N 2 O, Ge 2 N 2 O, and Sn 2 N 2 O as a negative electrode material is known.
中でも、酸化珪素は、電池容量は珪素と比較して小さいものの、炭素と比較すれば質量あたりで5〜6倍と高く、さらには体積膨張も小さく、負極活物質として使用しやすいと考えられていた。しかしながら、酸化珪素は不可逆容量が大きく、初期効率が70%程度と非常に低いため実際に電池を作製した場合では正極の電池容量を過剰に必要とし、活物質あたり5〜6倍の容量増加分に見合うだけの電池容量の増加を期待することができなかった。さらに、サイクル特性の向上も望まれていた。 Among them, although silicon oxide has a small battery capacity compared to silicon, it is considered to be easy to use as a negative electrode active material because it is 5 to 6 times higher per mass than carbon and further has a small volume expansion. It was. However, silicon oxide has a large irreversible capacity, and the initial efficiency is very low at about 70%. Therefore, when a battery is actually manufactured, the battery capacity of the positive electrode is excessively required, and the capacity increase by 5 to 6 times per active material. The battery capacity could not be expected to increase to meet Furthermore, improvement of cycle characteristics has been desired.
一方、酸化珪素は絶縁体であるため、何らかの手段で導電性を付与する。導電性を付与する方法としては、カーボン等導電性のある粒子と混合する方法、粒子の表面をカーボン被膜で被覆する方法、及びその両方を組み合わせること等が挙げられる。カーボン被膜で被覆する方法としては、複合粒子を有機物ガス中で化学蒸着(CVD)する方法が好適であり、熱処理時に反応器内に有機物ガスを導入することで効率よく行うことが可能である。 On the other hand, since silicon oxide is an insulator, conductivity is imparted by some means. Examples of the method for imparting conductivity include a method of mixing with conductive particles such as carbon, a method of coating the surface of particles with a carbon coating, and a combination of both. As a method of coating with a carbon film, a method of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of the composite particles in an organic gas is suitable, and it can be efficiently performed by introducing an organic gas into the reactor during heat treatment.
本発明は、酸化珪素の高い電池容量を維持しつつ、初回充放電効率が高く、サイクル特性に優れた非水電解質二次電池が得られる、負極活物質として有効な被覆粒子、及びその製造方法、ならびにこれを用いた負極を有するリチウムイオン二次電池及び電気化学キャパシタを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention provides a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery having high initial charge / discharge efficiency and excellent cycle characteristics while maintaining a high battery capacity of silicon oxide, and a coated particle effective as a negative electrode active material, and a method for producing the same And a lithium ion secondary battery and an electrochemical capacitor having a negative electrode using the same.
本発明者らは、上記目的を達成するため鋭意検討し、酸化珪素の初期効率とサイクル特性両方の向上を確立すべく検討を行った。カーボン被膜は導電性を付与すればよいだけではなく、ガス発生による電極の膨張等によりサイクル特性に影響を及ぼす電解液との反応性の面から、比表面積を小さくして接触面積を低減することが望ましい。しかしながら、塗膜厚みとの関係から粒径はいたずらに大きくするわけにはいかず、カーボン被膜の表面を平滑にすることが効果的である。また、酸化珪素には熱処理により比表面積が低下するという性質があり、900℃あたりから徐々に低下が始まる。1,200℃あたりからは焼結による粒度分布の変化も見られるが、これは表面に存在する細孔径が変化することによる。反面、カーボン被膜は蒸着後の熱履歴により比表面積が増大する傾向にあり、初期充放電効率とサイクル特性の双方を改善するには、比表面積を増大させずに不均化を進める必要があった。 The present inventors diligently studied in order to achieve the above object, and studied to establish both the initial efficiency and cycle characteristics of silicon oxide. Carbon coatings need not only have electrical conductivity, but also should reduce the contact area by reducing the specific surface area in terms of reactivity with the electrolyte that affects cycle characteristics due to electrode expansion due to gas generation. Is desirable. However, the particle size cannot be increased unnecessarily due to the relationship with the coating thickness, and it is effective to smooth the surface of the carbon coating. In addition, silicon oxide has a property that the specific surface area is reduced by heat treatment, and gradually starts to decrease from around 900 ° C. From around 1,200 ° C., a change in particle size distribution due to sintering is also observed, but this is due to a change in the pore diameter existing on the surface. On the other hand, the carbon film tends to increase in specific surface area due to the thermal history after vapor deposition, and in order to improve both the initial charge / discharge efficiency and the cycle characteristics, it is necessary to proceed with disproportionation without increasing the specific surface area. It was.
検討の結果、酸化珪素を化学蒸着(CVD)する工程において、予め非晶質の酸化珪素粒子を、有機物ガスを通気せずに熱処理を行い不均化させ、その後不均化温度よりも低い温度で有機物ガス中で化学蒸着(CVD)処理をすることにより、BET比表面積を低く抑えることが可能となり、得られた被覆粒子を、非水電解質二次電池用負極活物質として用いると、初期充放電効率及びサイクル特性に優れた非水電解質二次電池が得られることを知見し、本発明をなすに至ったものである。 As a result of the investigation, in the step of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of silicon oxide, amorphous silicon oxide particles are preliminarily disproportionated by heat treatment without passing an organic gas, and then a temperature lower than the disproportionation temperature. By performing chemical vapor deposition (CVD) treatment in organic gas, it becomes possible to keep the BET specific surface area low, and when the obtained coated particles are used as a negative electrode active material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, It has been found that a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery excellent in discharge efficiency and cycle characteristics can be obtained, and has led to the present invention.

[酸化珪素粒子、珪素ナノ粒子が珪素酸化物に分散した構造を有する複合粒子及びこれらの混合粒子から選ばれる粒子]
化学蒸着(CVD)処理前の原料粒子としては、下記粒子が挙げられる。
(1)酸化珪素粒子
本発明において酸化珪素とは、非晶質の珪素酸化物の総称である。不均化前の酸化珪素は、一般式SiOx(0<x≦2、好適には0.8≦x<1.1)で表される。酸化珪素は、二酸化珪素と金属珪素との混合物を加熱して生成した一酸化珪素ガスを冷却・析出して得ることができる。
[Silicon oxide particles, composite particles having a structure in which silicon nanoparticles are dispersed in silicon oxide, and mixed particles thereof]
Examples of raw material particles before chemical vapor deposition (CVD) include the following particles.
(1) Silicon oxide particles In the present invention, silicon oxide is a general term for amorphous silicon oxide. The silicon oxide before disproportionation is represented by the general formula SiO x (0 <x ≦ 2, preferably 0.8 ≦ x <1.1). Silicon oxide can be obtained by cooling and precipitating silicon monoxide gas generated by heating a mixture of silicon dioxide and metal silicon.
(2)珪素ナノ粒子が珪素酸化物に分散した構造を有する複合粒子
この複合粒子は、例えば、珪素の微粒子を珪素系化合物と混合したものを焼成する方法や、上記(1)一般式SiOxで表される不均化前の酸化珪素粒子を、アルゴン等の不活性な非酸化性雰囲気中、400℃以上、好適には800〜1,100℃の温度で熱処理し、不均化反応を行うことで得ることができる。特に後者の方法で得た材料は、珪素の微結晶が均一に分散されるため好ましい。上記不均化反応により、珪素ナノ粒子のサイズを1〜100nmとすることができる。珪素ナノ粒子が珪素酸化物に分散した構造を有する粒子中の珪素酸化物については、酸化珪素が好ましく、二酸化珪素がより好ましい。なお、透過電子顕微鏡によって、シリコンのナノ粒子(結晶)が無定形の酸化珪素に分散していることが確認される。
(2) Composite particles having a structure in which silicon nanoparticles are dispersed in silicon oxide Examples of the composite particles include a method of firing a mixture of silicon fine particles with a silicon-based compound, and (1) the general formula SiO x described above. The silicon oxide particles before disproportionation represented by the above are heat-treated in an inert non-oxidizing atmosphere such as argon at a temperature of 400 ° C. or higher, preferably 800 to 1,100 ° C. to carry out the disproportionation reaction. It can be obtained by doing. In particular, the material obtained by the latter method is preferable because silicon microcrystals are uniformly dispersed. By the disproportionation reaction, the size of the silicon nanoparticles can be set to 1 to 100 nm. As for the silicon oxide in the particles having a structure in which silicon nanoparticles are dispersed in silicon oxide, silicon oxide is preferable, and silicon dioxide is more preferable. A transmission electron microscope confirms that silicon nanoparticles (crystals) are dispersed in amorphous silicon oxide.
珪素ナノ粒子が珪素酸化物に分散した構造を有する複合粒子は、銅を対陰極としたX線回折(Cu−Kα)において、2θ=28.4°付近を中心としたSi(111)に帰属される回折ピークが観察されることで確認できる。また、回折ピークの回折線の広がりをもとに、シェーラーの式によって求めた珪素の結晶の粒子径は、好ましくは1〜500nm、より好ましくは1〜100nm、さらに好ましくは2〜20nmである。珪素の微粒子の大きさが1nmより小さいと、充放電容量が小さくなる場合があるし、逆に500nmより大きいと充放電時の膨張収縮が大きくなり、サイクル性が低下するおそれがある。なお、珪素の微粒子の大きさは透過電子顕微鏡写真により測定することができる。 Composite particles having a structure in which silicon nanoparticles are dispersed in silicon oxide belong to Si (111) centered around 2θ = 28.4 ° in X-ray diffraction (Cu-Kα) with copper as the cathode. This can be confirmed by observing the observed diffraction peak. Moreover, the particle diameter of the silicon crystal determined by the Scherrer equation based on the broadening of the diffraction line of the diffraction peak is preferably 1 to 500 nm, more preferably 1 to 100 nm, and still more preferably 2 to 20 nm. If the size of the silicon fine particles is smaller than 1 nm, the charge / discharge capacity may be reduced. Conversely, if the silicon fine particle is larger than 500 nm, the expansion / contraction during charge / discharge increases, and the cycle performance may decrease. The size of the silicon fine particles can be measured by a transmission electron micrograph.
化学蒸着(CVD)処理前の原料粒子の平均粒子径は、0.1〜50μmが好ましく、下限は0.2μm以上がより好ましく、0.5μm以上がさらに好ましい。上限は30μm以下がより好ましく、20μm以下がさらに好ましい。なお、本発明において平均粒子径は、レーザー光回折法による粒度分布測定における重量平均粒子径で表すことができる。 The average particle diameter of the raw material particles before the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) treatment is preferably 0.1 to 50 μm, the lower limit is more preferably 0.2 μm or more, and further preferably 0.5 μm or more. The upper limit is more preferably 30 μm or less, and further preferably 20 μm or less. In the present invention, the average particle diameter can be represented by a weight average particle diameter in particle size distribution measurement by a laser light diffraction method.
化学蒸着(CVD)処理前のBET比表面積は0.5〜100m2/gが好ましく、1〜20m2/gがより好ましい。なお、本発明におけるBET比表面積とは、N2ガス吸着量によって評価するBET1点法にて測定した時の値のことである。 Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) BET specific surface area before the treatment is preferably 0.5~100m 2 / g, 1~20m 2 / g is more preferable. Note that the BET specific surface area in the present invention refers to a value measured by a BET1 point method for evaluating the N 2 gas adsorption.
[化学蒸着(CVD)処理前の熱処理]
化学蒸着(CVD)処理前の熱処理は、酸化性ガスを通気せずに熱処理を行うことが重要である。例えば、アルゴン等の不活性ガスの通気(常圧)や、減圧下で行う方法がある。但し、1,100℃を超えるような高温で且つ減圧下で熱処理を行うと、珪素と二酸化珪素が反応・昇華してしまうおそれがある。不活性ガスを通気する際、雰囲気中に残存する微量の酸素を無くすために水素や、カーボンCVDされない程度の有機物ガスを微量混合して通気する方法もある。
[Heat treatment before chemical vapor deposition (CVD)]
It is important that the heat treatment before the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) treatment is performed without passing an oxidizing gas. For example, there are a method in which an inert gas such as argon is vented (at normal pressure) or under reduced pressure. However, if heat treatment is performed at a high temperature exceeding 1,100 ° C. and under reduced pressure, silicon and silicon dioxide may react and sublime. When venting the inert gas, there is a method in which a trace amount of hydrogen or an organic gas that is not subjected to carbon CVD is mixed and vented in order to eliminate a trace amount of oxygen remaining in the atmosphere.
[化学蒸着(CVD)処理]
引き続き有機物ガスを通気すること等により、有機物ガス中で化学蒸着(CVD)処理をする。本発明における有機物ガスを発生する原料として用いられる有機物としては、特に非酸性雰囲気下において、上記熱処理温度で熱分解して炭素(黒鉛)を生成し得るものが選択され、例えば、メタン、エタン、エチレン、アセチレン、プロパン、ブタン、ブテン、ペンタン、イソブタン、ヘキサン等の炭化水素の単独もしくは混合物、ベンゼン、トルエン、キシレン、スチレン、エチルベンゼン、ジフェニルメタン、ナフタレン、フェノール、クレゾール、ニトロベンゼン、クロルベンゼン、インデン、クマロン、ピリジン、アントラセン、フェナントレン等の1環〜3環の芳香族炭化水素もしくはこれらの混合物が挙げられる。また、タール蒸留工程で得られるガス軽油、クレオソート油、アントラセン油、ナフサ分解タール油等も単独もしくは混合物として用いることができる。
[Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) treatment]
Subsequently, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) treatment is performed in the organic substance gas by, for example, venting the organic substance gas. As an organic substance used as a raw material for generating an organic gas in the present invention, an organic substance that can be thermally decomposed at the above heat treatment temperature to generate carbon (graphite) is selected, particularly in a non-acidic atmosphere.

本発明においては、上記熱処理の温度(熱処理中の最高温度)T1と、化学蒸着処理中の温度(化学蒸着処理中の最高温度)T2とが、T1>T2であること、つまり、化学蒸着(CVD)処理前に予め熱処理を行い、その熱処理よりも低い温度で化学蒸着(CVD)処理をすることが重要である。T1=T2では本発明の目的が得られず、T1<T2だと、T2が高温の場合、適正な温度で化学蒸着(CVD)処理を行って生成したカーボン被膜の状態が変化し、負極活物質として使用した場合に特性が損なわれるおそれがある。 In the present invention, the temperature of the heat treatment (maximum temperature during heat treatment) T1 and the temperature during chemical vapor deposition (maximum temperature during chemical vapor deposition) T2 satisfy T1> T2, that is, chemical vapor deposition ( It is important to perform a heat treatment in advance before the (CVD) process and to perform a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process at a temperature lower than the heat treatment. When T1 = T2, the object of the present invention cannot be obtained. When T1 <T2, when T2 is high, the state of the carbon film formed by performing chemical vapor deposition (CVD) treatment at an appropriate temperature changes, and the negative electrode active When used as a substance, properties may be impaired.
なお、T2は化学蒸着処理中の温度(化学蒸着処理中の最高温度)であるが、本発明においては、「化学蒸着処理」とは、有機物ガスを通気と共に熱処理することをいう。従って、化学蒸着(CVD)処理前の熱処理と化学蒸着(CVD)処理とを連続して行う場合は、有機物ガスを通気前は「化学蒸着(CVD)処理前の熱処理」であり、有機物ガスを通気後は「化学蒸着(CVD)処理」となる。 T2 is a temperature during the chemical vapor deposition process (maximum temperature during the chemical vapor deposition process). In the present invention, “chemical vapor deposition process” refers to a heat treatment of organic gas with ventilation. Therefore, when the heat treatment before the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) treatment and the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) treatment are continuously performed, the organic gas is vented before the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) treatment, and the organic gas is removed. After venting, “chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processing” is performed.
上記温度によれば、処理の条件は特に限定されないが、「化学蒸着(CVD)処理前の熱処理」(T1)の温度は900〜1,300℃が好ましく、1,000〜1,200℃がより好ましい。処理温度が1,300℃を超えると、急激に容量が低下するおそれがあり、処理温度が1,300℃未満の温度領域であれば、酸化珪素を不均化させて珪素ナノ粒子を大きくすることで、初回充放電効率が向上する。処理時間は1〜20時間が好ましく、2〜3時間がより好ましい。化学蒸着(CVD)処理温度T2は、有機物ガスの種類により適宜選定される。また、T1>T2満たすことを条件に、好適には850〜1,250℃、より好適には950〜1,150℃の範囲で適宜選定される。化学蒸着(CVD)処理時間は、ガスの種類、必要なカーボン量によって適宜選定される。 According to the said temperature, although the conditions of a process are not specifically limited, 900-1300 degreeC is preferable and the temperature of "the heat processing before a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process" (T1) is 1,000-1,200 degreeC. More preferred. When the processing temperature exceeds 1,300 ° C., the capacity may decrease rapidly. If the processing temperature is below 1,300 ° C., silicon oxide is disproportionated to enlarge silicon nanoparticles. Thus, the initial charge / discharge efficiency is improved. The treatment time is preferably 1 to 20 hours, more preferably 2 to 3 hours. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processing temperature T2 is appropriately selected according to the type of organic gas. Moreover, it is suitably selected in the range of 850 to 1,250 ° C., more preferably 950 to 1,150 ° C., provided that T1> T2 is satisfied. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processing time is appropriately selected according to the type of gas and the required amount of carbon.
カーボン被覆量は特に限定されるものではないが、カーボン被覆した被覆粒子全体に対して0.3〜40質量%が好ましく、0.5〜30質量%がより好ましい。カーボン被覆量が0.3質量%未満では、十分な導電性を維持できないおそれがあり、結果として非水電解質二次電池用負極活物質とした際にサイクル性が低下する場合がある。逆にカーボン被覆量が40質量%を超えても、効果の向上が見られないばかりか、負極材料に占める黒鉛の割合が多くなり、非水電解質二次電池用負極活物質として用いた場合、充放電容量が低下する場合がある。 The amount of carbon coating is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.3 to 40% by mass, and more preferably 0.5 to 30% by mass with respect to the entire coated particles coated with carbon. If the carbon coating amount is less than 0.3% by mass, sufficient conductivity may not be maintained, and as a result, the cycle performance may be lowered when a negative electrode active material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is obtained. Conversely, even if the carbon coating amount exceeds 40% by mass, not only the improvement of the effect is not seen, the proportion of graphite in the negative electrode material increases, and when used as a negative electrode active material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, The charge / discharge capacity may be reduced.

Table 1 shows T1 (° C.): temperature of heat treatment (maximum temperature during heat treatment), T2 (° C.): temperature during chemical vapor deposition treatment (maximum temperature during chemical vapor deposition treatment), and conditions of heat treatment and chemical vapor deposition treatment. . The evaluation results are shown in Table 2.
実施例1〜3、比較例1〜2で得られた被覆粒子のX線回折(Cu−Kα)における、2θ=28.4°付近のチャートを図1〜4に示す。この結果から、実施例1〜3では適正なCVD温度と、高い初期効率特性が得られる不均化が両立できていることがわかる。なお、実施例の被覆粒子を用いた電池は、初期効率とサイクル特性双方の特性が優れていた。 1 to 4 show charts around 2θ = 28.4 ° in the X-ray diffraction (Cu-Kα) of the coated particles obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2. From this result, it can be seen that in Examples 1 to 3, both an appropriate CVD temperature and a disproportionation capable of obtaining a high initial efficiency characteristic can be achieved. In addition, the battery using the coated particles of the examples was excellent in both initial efficiency and cycle characteristics.
