Description

本発明は、リチウムイオン2次電池用の負極活物質およびその製造方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery and a method for producing the same.

スマートフォン、タブレット型端末などモバイル機器の高性能化や、EV、HEV、PHEVなどリチウムイオン2次電池を搭載した車両の普及に伴い、リチウムイオン2次電池の高容量化の要求が高まっている。現在、リチウムイオン2次電池の負極材には主に黒鉛が用いられているが、さらなる高容量化のため、理論容量が高く、リチウムイオンを吸蔵・放出可能な元素であるシリコンやスズ等の金属、もしくは他の元素との合金を用いた負極材の開発が活発化している。   As mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet terminals have higher performance and vehicles equipped with lithium ion secondary batteries such as EV, HEV, and PHEV have spread, there is an increasing demand for higher capacity of lithium ion secondary batteries. At present, graphite is mainly used as the negative electrode material of lithium ion secondary batteries. However, for further increase in capacity, the theoretical capacity is high, and elements such as silicon and tin that can absorb and release lithium ions are used. Development of negative electrode materials using metals or alloys with other elements has been activated.

一方、これらのリチウムイオンを吸蔵・放出可能な金属材料からなる活物質は、充電によってリチウムと合金化した際に、著しく体積膨張することが知られている。そのため、活物質が割れて微細化し、さらにこれらを用いた負極も構造が破壊されて導電性が切断される。従って、これらの金属材料を用いた負極はサイクル経過によって容量が著しく低下することが課題となっている。   On the other hand, it is known that an active material made of a metal material capable of inserting and extracting lithium ions significantly expands when alloyed with lithium by charging. Therefore, the active material is cracked and refined, and the structure of the negative electrode using these is also broken and the conductivity is cut. Therefore, the negative electrode using these metal materials has a problem that the capacity is remarkably lowered with the passage of cycles.

この課題に対し、これらの金属材料を微粒子化し、炭素質物や黒鉛などで複合化する手法が提案されている。このような複合粒子は、これらの金属材料がリチウムと合金化し、微細化しても炭素質物や黒鉛によって導電性が確保されるため、これらの材料を単独で負極材として用いるよりもサイクル特性が著しく向上することが知られている。例えば、特許文献1には、負極の活物質は炭素質物層が表面に形成された微粒子を含み、該微粒子はMg、Al、Si、Ca、SnおよびPbから選ばれる少なくとも一種の元素からなると共に、平均粒径が1〜500nmであり、かつ前記活物質中の微粒子の原子比率は15%以上であることが開示されている。また、特許文献2には、リチウムイオンと化合可能な電池活物質と黒鉛とを混合して混合物を得る混合工程と、該混合物に球形化処理を施し、黒鉛およびリチウムイオンと化合可能な電池活物質を含有する略球状のリチウム二次電池用複合活物質を製造する球形化工程とを有する、リチウム二次電池用複合活物質の製造方法が開示され、前記リチウムイオンと化合可能な電池活物質について、Si、Sn、Al、Sb、Inから選ばれる少なくとも1種の元素、黒鉛として比表面積30m/g以上の膨張黒鉛または薄片状黒鉛が好ましいと記載されている。 In response to this problem, a technique has been proposed in which these metal materials are made into fine particles and combined with carbonaceous material or graphite. Such composite particles have significantly higher cycle characteristics than the use of these materials alone as a negative electrode material, because these metal materials are alloyed with lithium and conductivity is ensured by carbonaceous materials and graphite even when they are miniaturized. It is known to improve. For example, in Patent Document 1, the active material of the negative electrode includes fine particles having a carbonaceous material layer formed on the surface, and the fine particles are composed of at least one element selected from Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Sn, and Pb. In addition, it is disclosed that the average particle diameter is 1 to 500 nm, and the atomic ratio of the fine particles in the active material is 15% or more. Patent Document 2 discloses a mixing step of mixing a battery active material capable of combining with lithium ions and graphite to obtain a mixture, and subjecting the mixture to a spheroidization treatment so that the battery active capable of combining with graphite and lithium ions is obtained. A method for producing a composite active material for a lithium secondary battery comprising a spheroidizing step for producing a substantially spherical composite active material for a lithium secondary battery containing the material, and a battery active material capable of combining with the lithium ion As for, at least one element selected from Si, Sn, Al, Sb, and In, graphite is preferably expanded graphite or flaky graphite having a specific surface area of 30 m 2 / g or more.

このように、膨張黒鉛や薄片状黒鉛によりリチウムイオンと化合可能な電池活物質を包み込むことでサイクル特性の向上が見られるが、まだ必要な特性までは達しておらず、さらなるサイクル寿命の向上が求められていた。   In this way, the cycle characteristics can be improved by encapsulating the battery active material that can be combined with lithium ions by expanded graphite or flake graphite, but the required characteristics have not yet been reached, and the cycle life has been further improved. It was sought after.

本発明は、炭素質物及び黒鉛とSiとを含んでなるリチウムイオン2次電池用負極活物質であり、放電容量が大きく、サイクル寿命が長いリチウムイオン2次電池を与える負極活物質およびその製造方法を提供することにある。   The present invention relates to a negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery comprising a carbonaceous material, graphite and Si, and a lithium ion secondary battery having a large discharge capacity and a long cycle life, and a method for producing the same Is to provide.

本発明者らは先の課題を解決すべく鋭意検討を重ねた結果、酸処理黒鉛を加熱処理して膨張黒鉛を得る際、1100〜1200℃での熱処理時の130%以下のかさ密度を有する膨張黒鉛からなり、炭素質物と黒鉛の含有量が5〜90重量%含み、複合化している炭素質物と共に0.2μm以下の厚みの黒鉛薄層の間に挟まった構造であり、その構造が積層および/または網目状に広がっており、該黒鉛薄層が活物質粒子の表面付近で湾曲して活物質粒子を覆っていることを特徴とするリチウムイオン2次電池用負極活物質は、放電容量が大きく、サイクル寿命が長いリチウムイオン2次電池が得られることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。   As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have a bulk density of 130% or less during heat treatment at 1100 to 1200 ° C. when heat-treating acid-treated graphite to obtain expanded graphite. It is composed of expanded graphite, containing 5 to 90% by weight of carbonaceous material and graphite, and sandwiched between thin graphite layers with a thickness of 0.2 μm or less together with the composite carbonaceous material. The negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery is characterized in that the negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery is spread in a network shape and the graphite thin layer is curved near the surface of the active material particles to cover the active material particles. Has been found that a lithium ion secondary battery having a large cycle life and a long cycle life can be obtained, and the present invention has been completed.

すなわち本発明は、黒鉛と炭素質物、Si化合物とを含んでなるリチウムイオン2次電池用負極活物質において、1100〜1200℃での熱処理時の130%以下のかさ密度を有する膨張黒鉛からなることを特徴とするリチウムイオン2次電池用カーボンシリコン系負極活物質である。   That is, the present invention is a negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery comprising graphite, a carbonaceous material, and a Si compound, and is composed of expanded graphite having a bulk density of 130% or less during heat treatment at 1100 to 1200 ° C. Is a carbon-silicon-based negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery.

以下、本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用カーボンシリコン系負極活物質について詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the carbon silicon-based negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention will be described in detail.

本発明でいう黒鉛とは、グラフェン層がc軸に平行な結晶であり、黒鉛を酸処理、酸化処理した後、熱処理することにより膨張させ、黒鉛層間の一部が剥離してアコーディオン状となった膨張黒鉛もしくは膨張黒鉛の粉砕物である。酸処理に使用する酸の種類としては、硫酸、硝酸、過マンガン酸等が挙げられる。膨張黒鉛のかさ密度は、低いことが好ましい。通常、酸処理黒鉛は高温で熱処理すると膨張が大きくなる傾向にあるため、1100〜1200℃の高温で熱処理すれば最大の膨張率が得られ、低かさ密度の膨張黒鉛が得られる。また、これより低い温度で熱処理すると膨張率が低くなり、かさ密度は高くなる傾向となる。本発明の黒鉛は、1100〜1200℃での熱処理時の130%以下のかさ密度を有することが好ましい。さらに好ましい範囲は120%以下である。130%を超えると、膨張率が低いために、後述する黒鉛薄層によるSi表面を覆う機能が低下し、Siと電解液が直接接して、充放電時に反応物が形成され、充放電時の効率低下が激しくなる。これと平行して、かさ密度が高くなると黒鉛の膨張も十分ではなくなることから、比表面積値は低下する傾向となる。この場合、1100〜1200℃での熱処理時の50%以上の比表面積値を有することが好ましい。   Graphite as used in the present invention is a crystal in which the graphene layer is parallel to the c-axis, and the graphite is expanded by heat treatment after acid treatment and oxidation treatment, and part of the graphite layer is peeled off to form an accordion shape. Expanded graphite or a pulverized product of expanded graphite. Examples of the acid used for the acid treatment include sulfuric acid, nitric acid, permanganic acid and the like. The bulk density of expanded graphite is preferably low. Normally, acid-treated graphite tends to expand when heat-treated at a high temperature. Therefore, when heat-treated at a high temperature of 1100 to 1200 ° C., the maximum expansion rate is obtained, and low bulk density expanded graphite is obtained. In addition, when heat treatment is performed at a temperature lower than this, the expansion coefficient tends to be low, and the bulk density tends to be high. The graphite of the present invention preferably has a bulk density of 130% or less during heat treatment at 1100 to 1200 ° C. A more preferable range is 120% or less. If it exceeds 130%, since the expansion coefficient is low, the function of covering the Si surface by the graphite thin layer to be described later is reduced, Si and the electrolytic solution are in direct contact, and a reactant is formed during charge and discharge, and during charge and discharge. The efficiency drop is severe. In parallel with this, when the bulk density increases, the expansion of the graphite is not sufficient, and the specific surface area value tends to decrease. In this case, it is preferable to have a specific surface area value of 50% or more during heat treatment at 1100 to 1200 ° C.

本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用負極活物質は、炭素質物と黒鉛の含有量として5〜90重量%含むことが好ましく、20〜60重量%がさらに好ましい。炭素質物の含有量が5重量%未満の場合、炭素質物と黒鉛がSi化合物を覆うことができず、導電パスが不十分となって容量劣化が激しく起こりやすく、90重量%より大きい場合、容量が十分に得られない。   The negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention preferably contains 5 to 90% by weight, more preferably 20 to 60% by weight, as the content of carbonaceous material and graphite. When the content of carbonaceous material is less than 5% by weight, the carbonaceous material and graphite cannot cover the Si compound, the conductive path becomes insufficient, and capacity deterioration easily occurs. Is not enough.

本発明でいう炭素質物とは、非晶質もしくは微結晶の炭素物質であり、2000℃を超える熱処理で黒鉛化する易黒鉛化炭素(ソフトカーボン)と、黒鉛化しにくい難黒鉛化炭素(ハードカーボン)がある。   The carbonaceous material referred to in the present invention is an amorphous or microcrystalline carbon material, and easily graphitized carbon (soft carbon) that is graphitized by a heat treatment exceeding 2000 ° C. and non-graphitizable carbon (hard carbon) that is difficult to graphitize. )

また、本発明でいう炭素質物の含有量は、5〜40重量%であることが好ましい。炭素質物の含有量が5重量%未満の場合、炭素質物がSi化合物および黒鉛を覆うことができず、Si化合物と黒鉛との接着が不十分となり、活物質粒子の形成が困難となりやすい。また、40重量%より大きい場合、導電性が炭素質物より高い黒鉛の効果が十分に引き出されない。   Moreover, it is preferable that content of the carbonaceous material said by this invention is 5 to 40 weight%. When the content of the carbonaceous material is less than 5% by weight, the carbonaceous material cannot cover the Si compound and graphite, adhesion between the Si compound and graphite becomes insufficient, and formation of active material particles tends to be difficult. Moreover, when larger than 40 weight%, the effect of the graphite whose electroconductivity is higher than a carbonaceous material is not fully drawn out.

本発明でいうSiとは、純度が98%程度の汎用グレードの金属シリコン、純度が2〜4Nのケミカルグレードの金属シリコン、塩素化して蒸留精製した4Nより高純度のポリシリコン、単結晶成長法による析出工程を経た超高純度の単結晶シリコン、もしくはそれらに周期表13族もしくは15族元素をドーピングして、p型またはn型としたもの、半導体製造プロセスで発生したウエハの研磨や切断の屑、プロセスで不良となった廃棄ウエハなど、汎用グレードの金属シリコン以上の純度であれば特に限定されない。   In the present invention, Si is a general grade metal silicon having a purity of about 98%, a chemical grade metal silicon having a purity of 2 to 4N, a chlorinated and purified by distillation using 4N, a single crystal growth method High-purity single crystal silicon that has undergone a deposition step by the above, or those doped with elements of Group 13 or 15 of the periodic table to be p-type or n-type, and polishing or cutting of wafers generated in the semiconductor manufacturing process There is no particular limitation as long as the purity is higher than that of general-purpose grade metal silicon, such as scraps and waste wafers that have become defective in the process.

本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用カーボンシリコン系負極活物質において、Siの平均粒径D50は0.01〜0.5μmである。0.01μmより小さいと、表面酸化による容量や初期効率の低下が激しく、0.5μmより大きいと、リチウム挿入による膨張で割れが激しく生じ、サイクル劣化が激しくなる。なお、D50はレーザー回折法又は動的光散乱法で測定した体積平均の粒子径である。また、BET法で測定される比表面積が23〜300m/gである。比表面積が23m/gより小さいと、粒子が大きく、リチウム挿入による膨張で割れが激しく生じ、サイクル劣化が激しくなる。 In the carbon silicon-based negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention, the average particle diameter D50 of Si is 0.01 to 0.5 μm. If it is smaller than 0.01 μm, the capacity and initial efficiency due to surface oxidation are drastically reduced, and if it is larger than 0.5 μm, cracks are severely caused by expansion due to lithium insertion, resulting in severe cycle deterioration. D50 is a volume average particle diameter measured by a laser diffraction method or a dynamic light scattering method. Moreover, the specific surface area measured by BET method is 23-300 m < 2 > / g. When the specific surface area is less than 23 m 2 / g, the particles are large, and cracks are severely caused by expansion due to lithium insertion, resulting in severe cycle deterioration.

Siの含有量は10〜80重量%が好ましく、15〜50重量%がさらに好ましい。Siの含有量が10重量%未満の場合、従来の黒鉛に比べて十分に大きい容量が得られず、80重量%より大きい場合、サイクル劣化が激しくなる。   The content of Si is preferably 10 to 80% by weight, and more preferably 15 to 50% by weight. When the Si content is less than 10% by weight, a sufficiently large capacity cannot be obtained as compared with conventional graphite. When the Si content is more than 80% by weight, cycle deterioration becomes severe.

本発明の負極活物質に含まれる黒鉛の粒子サイズは、負極活物質粒子のサイズより小さければ特に限定されないが、黒鉛粒子の厚みは活物質の平均粒径D50の1/5以下であることが好ましい。黒鉛の添加により活物質粒子の導電性および強度が高まり、充放電のレート特性およびサイクル特性が向上する。黒鉛粒子のX線回折で測定される(002)面の面間隔d002は0.338nm以下であることが好ましく、これは高度に黒鉛化が進んだ黒鉛を意味している。d002がこの値を超える場合、黒鉛による導電性向上効果が小さくなる。   The particle size of the graphite contained in the negative electrode active material of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is smaller than the size of the negative electrode active material particles, but the thickness of the graphite particles may be 1/5 or less of the average particle diameter D50 of the active material. preferable. Addition of graphite increases the conductivity and strength of the active material particles, and improves charge / discharge rate characteristics and cycle characteristics. The (002) plane spacing d002 measured by X-ray diffraction of graphite particles is preferably 0.338 nm or less, which means highly graphitized graphite. When d002 exceeds this value, the effect of improving conductivity by graphite becomes small.

本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用カーボンシリコン系負極活物質において、黒鉛薄層は0.5μm以下が好ましい。0.5μm以下であることで、黒鉛薄層間に挟まれたSi化合物と、炭素質物の層が薄くなって、Si化合物への電子の伝達が良くなり、厚みが0.5μmを超えると黒鉛薄層の電子伝達効果が薄まる。黒鉛薄層を断面で見て線状の場合、その長さは負極活物質粒子のサイズの半分以上あることが電子伝達に好ましく、負極活物質粒子のサイズと同等程度であることがさらに好ましい。黒鉛薄層が網目状の場合、黒鉛薄層の網が負極活物質粒子のサイズの半分以上に渡って繋がっていることが電子伝達に好ましく、負極活物質粒子のサイズと同等程度であることがさらに好ましい。   In the carbon silicon-based negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention, the graphite thin layer is preferably 0.5 μm or less. When the thickness is 0.5 μm or less, the Si compound sandwiched between the graphite thin layers and the carbonaceous material layer are thinned, and the electron transfer to the Si compound is improved. The electron transfer effect of the thin layer is diminished. When the graphite thin layer is linear when viewed in cross section, its length is preferably at least half the size of the negative electrode active material particles for electron transfer, and more preferably about the same as the size of the negative electrode active material particles. When the graphite thin layer is network-like, it is preferable for electron transfer that the graphite thin layer network is connected to more than half of the size of the negative electrode active material particles, and it may be about the same size as the negative electrode active material particles. Further preferred.

本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用カーボンシリコン系負極活物質では、その構造が積層および/または網目状に広がっており、該黒鉛薄層が活物質粒子の表面付近で湾曲して活物質粒子を覆っていることが好ましい。そのような形状にすることで、黒鉛薄層端面から電解液が侵入して、Si化合物や黒鉛薄層端面と電解液が直接接して、充放電時に反応物が形成され、効率が下がるリスクが低減する。   In the carbon silicon negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention, the structure spreads in a layered and / or network form, and the thin graphite layer is curved near the surface of the active material particles. It is preferable to cover. With such a shape, there is a risk that the electrolyte enters from the end face of the graphite thin layer, the Si compound or the end face of the graphite thin layer is in direct contact with the electrolyte, and a reactant is formed during charge and discharge, resulting in reduced efficiency. To reduce.

本発明でいう黒鉛薄層とは、先に述べた黒鉛を酸処理、酸化処理した後、熱処理することにより膨張させて黒鉛層間の一部が剥離してアコーディオン状となった膨張黒鉛もしくは膨張黒鉛の粉砕物からなる黒鉛薄層である。   In the present invention, the graphite thin layer refers to expanded graphite or expanded graphite in which the above-mentioned graphite is subjected to acid treatment and oxidation treatment and then expanded by heat treatment, and a part of the graphite layer is peeled off to form an accordion shape. It is a graphite thin layer made of a pulverized product.

本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用カーボンシリコン系負極活物質は、形状が丸みを帯びた平均粒径D50が1〜40μmの複合粒子であり、好ましくは2〜30μmである。D50が1μm未満の場合、かさ高くなって高密度の電極が作製しにくくなり、40μmを超える場合、塗布した電極の凹凸が激しくなって均一な電極が作製しにくくなる。また、前記Siの平均粒径が該負極活物質の平均粒径の1/5以下であることが好ましい。   The carbon silicon-based negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention is a composite particle having a rounded average particle diameter D50 of 1 to 40 μm, preferably 2 to 30 μm. When D50 is less than 1 μm, it becomes bulky and it becomes difficult to produce a high-density electrode, and when it exceeds 40 μm, the unevenness of the applied electrode becomes intense and it becomes difficult to produce a uniform electrode. Moreover, it is preferable that the average particle diameter of Si is 1/5 or less of the average particle diameter of the negative electrode active material.

形状が丸みを帯びた複合粒子とは、粉砕等により生成した粒子の角が取れているもの、球状もしくは回転楕円体形状、円板もしくは小判形状で厚みを有して角が丸いもの、またはそれらが変形したもので角が丸いものなどである。形状が丸みを帯びることにより複合粒子のかさ密度が高まり、負極にした時の充填密度が高まる。   Composite particles with rounded shapes are those in which the corners of particles produced by pulverization, etc. are rounded, spherical or spheroid shapes, discs or oval shapes with thickness and rounded corners, or those Is a deformed one with rounded corners. When the shape is rounded, the bulk density of the composite particles is increased, and the packing density when the negative electrode is formed is increased.

また、本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用シリコン含有負極活物質においては、前記Si化合物の含有量が10〜60重量%、前記炭素質物の含有量が5〜40重量%、前記黒鉛の含有量が20〜80重量%であることが好ましい。   Moreover, in the silicon-containing negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention, the content of the Si compound is 10 to 60% by weight, the content of the carbonaceous material is 5 to 40% by weight, and the content of the graphite Is preferably 20 to 80% by weight.

本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用カーボンシリコン系負極活物質では、比表面積が5〜120m/gであることがさらに好ましい。比表面積が5μm未満では、粒子径が大きくなることで、塗布した電極の凹凸が激しくなって均一な電極が作製しにくくなり、120m/gを超えると、表面積が大きいために電解液との反応生成物が多くなり、電池特性にサイクル特性の低下などの影響が発生する。 In the carbon silicon-based negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention, the specific surface area is more preferably 5 to 120 m 2 / g. When the specific surface area is less than 5 μm, the particle diameter becomes large, and the unevenness of the applied electrode becomes intense, making it difficult to produce a uniform electrode. When the specific surface area exceeds 120 m 2 / g, the surface area is large and The amount of reaction products increases, and the battery characteristics are adversely affected such as deterioration of cycle characteristics.

次に、本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用カーボンシリコン系負極活物質の製造方法について説明する。   Next, the manufacturing method of the carbon silicon type negative electrode active material for lithium ion secondary batteries of this invention is demonstrated.

本発明のリチウムイオン2次電池用カーボンシリコン系負極活物質の製造方法は、膨張黒鉛、炭素前駆体、Siを混合する工程と、造粒・厚密化する工程と、粉砕して複合粒子を形成する工程と、該複合粒子を不活性雰囲気中で焼成する工程を含むものである。   The method for producing a carbon silicon negative electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery of the present invention comprises a step of mixing expanded graphite, a carbon precursor and Si, a step of granulating and densifying, and a composite particle by pulverizing A step of forming, and a step of firing the composite particles in an inert atmosphere.

原料である膨張黒鉛は、天然黒鉛、石油や石炭のピッチを黒鉛化した人造黒鉛等で、鱗片状、小判状もしくは球状、円柱状もしくはファイバー状等の形状を有した黒鉛を、酸処理、酸化処理した後、熱処理することにより膨張させて黒鉛層間の一部が剥離してアコーディオン状となった膨張黒鉛もしくは膨張黒鉛の粉砕物を用いる。混合前の粒子サイズとしては5μm〜5mm程度である。膨張黒鉛においては、酸処理を十分に行い、熱処理の温度勾配を大きくすることで大きく膨張させることが可能であり、混合分散を十分に行うことで出来上がった負極活物質の黒鉛薄層の厚みを薄くできるため、良好な電気伝導性、サイクル特性を得ることができる。   Expanded graphite, which is a raw material, is natural graphite, artificial graphite obtained by graphitizing the pitch of petroleum or coal, etc., and graphite having a scaly, oval or spherical, cylindrical or fiber shape is treated with an acid, oxidized After the treatment, expanded graphite or expanded graphite pulverized product that is expanded by heat treatment and peels off part of the graphite layer to form an accordion shape is used. The particle size before mixing is about 5 μm to 5 mm. In expanded graphite, it can be expanded greatly by sufficiently performing acid treatment and increasing the temperature gradient of heat treatment, and the thickness of the graphite thin layer of the negative electrode active material obtained by sufficiently mixing and dispersing can be increased. Since it can be made thin, good electrical conductivity and cycle characteristics can be obtained.

原料の炭素前駆体としては、炭素を主体とする高分子で、不活性ガス雰囲気中での熱処理により炭素質物になるものであれば特に限定されないが、石油系ピッチ、石炭系ピッチ、合成ピッチ、タール類、セルロース、スクロース、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリビニルアルコール、フェノール樹脂、フラン樹脂、フルフリルアルコール、ポリスチレン、エポキシ樹脂、ポリアクリロニトリル、メラミン樹脂、アクリル樹脂、ポリアミドイミド樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂等が使用できる。   The carbon precursor as a raw material is not particularly limited as long as it is a polymer mainly composed of carbon and becomes a carbonaceous material by heat treatment in an inert gas atmosphere, but is not limited to petroleum pitch, coal pitch, synthetic pitch, Tar, cellulose, sucrose, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, phenol resin, furan resin, furfuryl alcohol, polystyrene, epoxy resin, polyacrylonitrile, melamine resin, acrylic resin, polyamideimide resin, polyamide resin, polyimide resin, etc. it can.

原料であるSiは、平均粒径D50が0.01〜0.5μmであり、BET法で測定される比表面積が23〜300m/gの粉末を使用する。所定の粒子径のSiを得るためには、上述のSiの原料(インゴット、ウエハ、粉末などの状態)を粉砕機で粉砕し、場合によっては分級機を用いる。インゴット、ウエハなどの塊の場合、最初はジョークラッシャー等の粗粉砕機を用いて粉末化することができる。その後、例えば、ボール、ビーズなどの粉砕媒体を運動させ、その運動エネルギーによる衝撃力や摩擦力、圧縮力を利用して被砕物を粉砕するボールミル、媒体撹拌ミルや、ローラによる圧縮力を利用して粉砕を行うローラミルや、被砕物を高速で内張材に衝突もしくは粒子相互に衝突させ、その衝撃による衝撃力によって粉砕を行うジェットミルや、ハンマー、ブレード、ピンなどを固設したローターの回転による衝撃力を利用して被砕物を粉砕するハンマーミル、ピンミル、ディスクミルや、剪断力を利用するコロイドミルや高圧湿式対向衝突式分散機「アルティマイザー」などを用いて粉砕した後、さらに、微粉化を行う。 As the raw material Si, a powder having an average particle diameter D50 of 0.01 to 0.5 μm and a specific surface area of 23 to 300 m 2 / g measured by the BET method is used. In order to obtain Si having a predetermined particle diameter, the above-mentioned Si raw materials (ingot, wafer, powder, etc.) are pulverized by a pulverizer, and a classifier is used in some cases. In the case of a lump such as an ingot or a wafer, it can be first pulverized using a coarse pulverizer such as a jaw crusher. After that, for example, a ball or bead is used to move the grinding medium, and the impact force, frictional force, or compression force of the kinetic energy is used to grind the material to be crushed, the media agitation mill, or the compression force of the roller. Rotation of a roller mill that pulverizes, a jet mill that collides crushed objects with the lining material or collides with each other at high speed, and pulverizes by the impact force of the impact, and a rotor with a fixed hammer, blade, pin, etc. After pulverizing using a hammer mill, pin mill, disk mill that pulverizes the material to be crushed using the impact force of, colloid mill using shear force or high-pressure wet opposed collision disperser `` Ultimizer '', etc., Micronize.

微粉化の方法として例えば、湿式のビーズミルを用い、ビーズの径を段階的に小さくすること等により非常に細かい粒子を得ることができる。ビーズミルに使用するメディアとしては高強度であるジルコニアが好ましい。ビーズの径は、粉砕するSiの粒径により変化させ、例えばSiの平均粒径D50が10〜40μmであれば、0.5〜1mmのビーズを使用し、Siの平均粒径D50が0.5〜10μmでは、0.1〜0.5mmのビーズを使用し、Siの平均粒径D50が0.1〜0.5μmでは、0.03〜0.1mmのビーズを使用することが好ましい。0.1mmよりも小さいビーズを使用する場合、ビーズとスラリーの分離として遠心分離方式を使用することが好ましい。   As a pulverization method, for example, a very fine particle can be obtained by using a wet bead mill and gradually reducing the diameter of the beads. Zirconia, which has high strength, is preferable as the medium used for the bead mill. The diameter of the beads is changed depending on the particle diameter of Si to be crushed. For example, if the average particle diameter D50 of Si is 10 to 40 μm, beads of 0.5 to 1 mm are used, and the average particle diameter D50 of Si is 0.00. When the average particle diameter D50 of Si is 0.1 to 0.5 μm, it is preferable to use 0.03 to 0.1 mm beads. When using beads smaller than 0.1 mm, it is preferable to use a centrifugal separation system for separating the beads and the slurry.

粉砕時の分散剤としては、メタノールやエタノール、イソプロピルアルコール等のアルコールやヘキサン、トルエンなどの炭化水素系溶剤が好ましい。水はSiの酸化が激しくなるので適さない。また、必要に応じてスラリー粘度を下げるためのアニオン系やカチオン系、ノニオン系の分散剤を添加してもよい。スラリーの濃度には特に指定はないが、効率的な粉砕を行うこと、粉砕中の凝集を防ぐこと及びスラリー粘度を低くするための粘度として5〜25%が挙げられ、さらに好ましくは5〜20%が挙げられる。5%よりも濃度が低いと粉砕効率が低くなり、25%よりも高いとスラリー粘度が上昇し、粉砕効率の低下や詰まり等により粉砕ができなくなることがある。   As the dispersing agent during pulverization, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, and hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane and toluene are preferable. Water is not suitable because of the intense oxidation of Si. Moreover, you may add the anionic, cationic, and nonionic dispersing agent for lowering | hanging a slurry viscosity as needed. The concentration of the slurry is not particularly specified, but includes 5 to 25% as a viscosity for performing efficient pulverization, preventing aggregation during pulverization and lowering the slurry viscosity, and more preferably 5 to 20%. %. If the concentration is lower than 5%, the pulverization efficiency is lowered, and if it is higher than 25%, the slurry viscosity increases, and pulverization may not be possible due to a decrease in pulverization efficiency or clogging.

粉砕後に粒度分布を整えるため、乾式分級や湿式分級もしくはふるい分け分級を用いることができる。乾式分級は、主として気流を用い、分散、分離(細粒子と粗粒子の分離)、捕集(固体と気体の分離)、排出のプロセスが逐次もしくは同時に行われ、粒子相互間の干渉、粒子の形状、気流の乱れ、速度分布、静電気の影響などで分級効率を低下させないように、分級をする前に前処理(水分、分散性、湿度などの調整)を行うか、使用される気流の水分や酸素濃度を調整して行われる。乾式で分級機が一体となっているタイプでは、一度に粉砕、分級が行われ、所望の粒度分布とすることが可能となる。   In order to adjust the particle size distribution after pulverization, dry classification, wet classification or sieving classification can be used. In the dry classification, the process of dispersion, separation (separation of fine particles and coarse particles), collection (separation of solid and gas), and discharge are performed sequentially or simultaneously, mainly using air flow. Pre-classification (adjustment of moisture, dispersibility, humidity, etc.) before classification, or the moisture in the airflow used so that the classification efficiency is not lowered due to the influence of shape, air flow disturbance, velocity distribution, static electricity, etc. It is done by adjusting the oxygen concentration. In a dry type in which a classifier is integrated, pulverization and classification are performed at a time, and a desired particle size distribution can be obtained.

別の所定の粒子径のSiを得る方法としては、プラズマやレーザー等でSi化合物を加熱して蒸発させ、不活性ガス中で凝固させて得る方法、ガス原料を用いてCVDやプラズマCVD等で得る方法があり、これらの方法は0.1μm以下の超微粒子を得るのに適している。   As another method for obtaining Si having a predetermined particle size, a method of obtaining Si by heating and evaporating a Si compound with plasma or laser and solidifying it in an inert gas, CVD or plasma CVD using a gas raw material, etc. These methods are suitable for obtaining ultrafine particles of 0.1 μm or less.

If the carbon precursor is dissolved in a solvent, expanded graphite, carbon precursor, and Si are added to the solvent, and the expanded graphite, carbon precursor, and Si are dispersed in the solution in which the carbon precursor is dissolved. , Mixing and then removing the solvent. The solvent to be used can be used without particular limitation as long as it can dissolve the carbon precursor. For example, when pitch or tar is used as the carbon precursor, quinoline, pyridine, toluene, benzene, tetrahydrofuran, creosote oil or the like can be used. When polyvinyl chloride is used, tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone, nitrobenzene or the like can be used. When phenol resin or furan resin is used, ethanol, methanol or the like can be used.

混合方法としては、炭素前駆体を加熱軟化させる場合は、混練機(ニーダー)を用いることができる。溶媒を用いる場合は、上述の混練機の他、ナウターミキサー、レーディゲミキサー、ヘンシェルミキサ、ハイスピードミキサー、ホモミキサー等を用いることができる。また、これらの装置でジャケット加熱したり、その後、振動乾燥機、パドルドライヤーなどで溶媒を除去する。   As a mixing method, when the carbon precursor is heat-softened, a kneader (kneader) can be used. In the case of using a solvent, in addition to the above-described kneader, a Nauter mixer, a Roedige mixer, a Henschel mixer, a high speed mixer, a homomixer, or the like can be used. Further, the jacket is heated with these apparatuses, and then the solvent is removed with a vibration dryer, a paddle dryer or the like.

これらの装置で、炭素前駆体を固化、または、溶媒除去の過程における撹拌をある程度の時間続けることで、膨張黒鉛、Si、炭素前駆体の混合物は造粒・圧密化される。また、炭素前駆体を固化、または溶媒除去後の混合物をローラーコンパクタ等の圧縮機によって圧縮し、解砕機で粗粉砕することにより、造粒・圧密化することができる。これらの造粒・圧密化物の大きさは、その後の粉砕工程での取り扱いの容易さから0.1〜5mmが好ましい。   With these apparatuses, the mixture of expanded graphite, Si, and carbon precursor is granulated and consolidated by solidifying the carbon precursor or continuing stirring in the process of removing the solvent for a certain period of time. Further, the carbon precursor is solidified or the mixture after removing the solvent is compressed by a compressor such as a roller compactor and coarsely pulverized by a crusher, whereby granulation and consolidation can be achieved. The size of the granulated / consolidated product is preferably 0.1 to 5 mm in view of ease of handling in the subsequent pulverization step.

造粒・圧密化物の粉砕方法は、圧縮力を利用して被砕物を粉砕するボールミル、媒体撹拌ミルや、ローラによる圧縮力を利用して粉砕を行うローラミルや、被砕物を高速で内張材に衝突もしくは粒子相互に衝突させ、その衝撃による衝撃力によって粉砕を行うジェットミルや、ハンマー、ブレード、ピンなどを固設したローターの回転による衝撃力を利用して被砕物を粉砕するハンマーミル、ピンミル、ディスクミル等の乾式の粉砕方法が好ましい。また、粉砕後に粒度分布を整えるため、風力分級、ふるい分け等の乾式分級が用いられる。粉砕機と分級機が一体となっているタイプでは、一度に粉砕、分級が行われ、所望の粒度分布とすることが可能となる。   The granulated / consolidated material is pulverized by ball mill, medium agitation mill, roller mill for pulverizing using the compressive force of the roller, or lining material to be crushed at high speed.

粉砕して得られた複合粒子は、アルゴンガスや窒素ガス気流中、もしくは真空など不活性雰囲気中で焼成する。焼成温度は800〜1000℃とすることが好ましい。焼成温度が800℃未満であると、炭素前駆体由来の非晶質炭素の不可逆容量が大きく、またサイクル特性が悪いため、電池の特性が低下する傾向にある。   The composite particles obtained by pulverization are fired in an argon gas or nitrogen gas stream or in an inert atmosphere such as a vacuum. The firing temperature is preferably 800 to 1000 ° C. When the firing temperature is less than 800 ° C., the irreversible capacity of the amorphous carbon derived from the carbon precursor is large, and the cycle characteristics are poor, so that the battery characteristics tend to deteriorate.
