Description

本発明は、炭素源にて緻密化することを必要とする微細な気孔を持つ金属酸化物などの微粒子に対して、容易に炭素緻密化して炭素緻密化微粒子を得る炭素緻密化微粒子の製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention provides a method for producing carbon densified microparticles by easily densifying carbon microparticles such as metal oxides having fine pores that need to be densified with a carbon source to obtain carbon densified microparticles. It is about.

リチウム電池などの電極として利用される金属酸化物粒子は、金属酸化物であることにより、表面の電子を授受するための導電性が低い。そこで、金属酸化物粒子の表面と気孔内に炭素を緻密化させることにより導電性の高い金属酸化物粒子を作る方法が知られている。 Metal oxide particles used as electrodes in lithium batteries and the like have low conductivity for transferring electrons on the surface because they are metal oxides. Therefore, there is known a method of making highly conductive metal oxide particles by densifying carbon on the surface and in the pores of the metal oxide particles.

この炭素を緻密化にすることにより、リチウムイオン電池の充放電時における電子の流れがスムーズとなり、充放電特性のよいリチウムイオン電池が製造可能となる。 By densifying the carbon, electrons flow smoothly during charge/discharge of the lithium ion battery, making it possible to manufacture a lithium ion battery with good charge/discharge characteristics.

これまで、微細な気孔を持つ微粒子の炭素による緻密な含浸方法として、メタン、エチレン、プロパン等の有機物ガスを原料としたCVD法、或いはフェノール樹脂、フラン樹脂などの熱硬化性樹脂や、タール、ピッチ類の熱可塑性樹脂を用いた含浸方法が知られている。 Until now, as a method for densely impregnating fine particles with fine pores with carbon, the CVD method using organic gases such as methane, ethylene, and propane as raw materials, thermosetting resins such as phenol resin and furan resin, tar, Impregnation methods using thermoplastic resins such as pitches are known.

このようなタール、ピッチ類などの熱可塑性樹脂の含浸において、気孔を有する成型体と混合した後に熱処理することにより炭素緻密化する方法が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 In the impregnation of thermoplastic resins such as tar and pitches, a method has been proposed in which carbon densification is performed by mixing with a molded body having pores and then heat-treating (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特許第3383992号公報Japanese Patent No. 3383992

メタン、エチレン、プロパンなどの有機性ガスを原料としたCVD法を実施した場合、微細な気孔に対する炭素源のガスの浸透は非常によいものの、大量に処理する際の均一性に問題が発生し、製造効率が悪いという問題があった。
また、上記CVD法による緻密化では、1,000℃近くの高温において長時間の処理が必要である。さらに閉気孔を作りやすいために、充分な緻密化が難しいという問題があった。
When the CVD method is carried out using organic gases such as methane, ethylene, and propane as raw materials, the penetration of the carbon source gas into the fine pores is very good, but there is a problem of uniformity when processing a large amount. , there was a problem of poor manufacturing efficiency.
Further, the densification by the CVD method requires a long time treatment at a high temperature of nearly 1,000.degree. Furthermore, since closed pores are easily formed, there is a problem that sufficient densification is difficult.

また、フェノール樹脂、フラン樹脂などの熱硬化性樹脂もしくはタールを含浸させた場合、含浸、焼成の工程において気孔が内部に残り、完全に炭素で緻密化することが難しいという問題があった。残存気孔が多い場合、焼成後の表面の導電性が上がらず、性能不良が発生するという問題があった。 In addition, when impregnated with a thermosetting resin such as phenolic resin or furan resin, or with tar, pores remain inside during the impregnation and baking processes, making it difficult to completely densify with carbon. If there are many residual pores, the conductivity of the surface after firing does not increase, resulting in poor performance.

また、フェノール樹脂、フラン樹脂などの熱硬化性樹脂を用いるのに接触角が大きいためアルコール等での希釈する方法も検討されてきたが、希釈することで炭化収率が低くなり、微細気孔への含浸が効率的ではないという問題があった。あわせて、熱硬化した際に閉気孔ができやすく充分な緻密化が困難であった。 In addition, since thermosetting resins such as phenolic resin and furan resin have a large contact angle, a method of diluting them with alcohol or the like has been investigated. There was a problem that the impregnation of was not efficient. In addition, closed pores tend to form during heat curing, making it difficult to achieve sufficient densification.

タールを用いた場合は、常温で液体のため接触角が小さく含浸は容易であるが、炭化歩留まりが低くハンドリングが困難であるという問題があった。 When tar is used, since it is a liquid at room temperature, the contact angle is small and impregnation is easy, but there is a problem that the carbonization yield is low and handling is difficult.

更に、一般のピッチ類を用いた場合、ピッチ中のキノリン不溶分が微細気孔への含浸を阻害するため、微粒子の微細な気孔にピッチが入り難いという問題があった。
あわせて、炭素収率を上げるためにトルエン不溶分を40%以上にした場合は、軟化点が高くなり高温での含浸処理が必要なために設備が過大となり取り扱いも煩雑となるという課題があった。
Furthermore, when ordinary pitches are used, the quinoline-insoluble matter in the pitch inhibits the impregnation of the fine pores, so there is a problem that the pitch is difficult to enter the fine pores of the fine particles.
In addition, if the toluene insoluble content is 40% or more in order to increase the carbon yield, the softening point becomes high and impregnation treatment at high temperature is required, so there is a problem that the equipment becomes excessive and the handling becomes complicated. rice field.

そこで、本発明者らは、かかる課題を解決するために、微細気孔を持つ微粒子への炭素緻密化方法について鋭意検討したところ、ある特定の性質を持つピッチを含浸ピッチとして緻密化処理を施すことにより、上記課題が解決できることを知得し、本発明を完成するに至った。 Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the present inventors have extensively studied a method for densifying carbon into fine particles having fine pores, and found that pitch having a specific property is used as impregnated pitch and subjected to densification treatment. As a result, the inventors have learned that the above problems can be solved, and have completed the present invention.

<Decompression step, impregnation pitch melting step, carbon densification step, and carbonization step>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a carbon densification process for fine particles. The carbon densification step will be described with reference to FIG.
First, in a tank (eg, autoclave) 3 at room temperature (20 ° C.), fine particles 1 having fine pores, a quinoline insoluble content of less than 1%, a toluene insoluble content of 5% to 30%, and a fixed carbon content of 40% or more. , and an impregnated pitch 2 having a softening point of 60° C. to 100° C. are placed (FIG. 1(A)). At this time, the impregnated pitch heated and melted in another connected tank may be used.

次に、微粒子1を載置した槽3を加熱冷却手段4を用いて所定の温度(180℃~300℃が好ましく、200℃~250℃がより好ましい)に加熱し、含浸ピッチを溶融させる、或いは連結した槽より所定温度(180℃~300℃が好ましく、200℃~250℃がより好ましい)で溶融した含浸ピッチを移送する(含浸ピッチ溶融工程、図1(C))。空気又は不活性雰囲気下(例えば、窒素雰囲気下)で加圧処理(1kg/cmG~10kg/cmG)して、微粒子の微細気孔の中に含浸ピッチを含浸させる(炭素緻密化工程、図1(D))。
If necessary, a pressure reduction step (preferably 20 Torr or less, more preferably 0.1 Torr to 20 Torr, more preferably 0.1 Torr to 10 Torr, and particularly preferably 1 Torr to 10 Torr) is included to remove the gas content in the fine particles having fine pores.

Pressure treatment (1 kg/cm 2 G to 10 kg/cm 2 G) is performed in air or an inert atmosphere (for example, under a nitrogen atmosphere) to impregnate the impregnated pitch into the fine pores of the fine particles (carbon densification process , FIG. 1(D)).

After that, the fine particles are taken out, or the fine particles are taken out after the molten impregnated pitch is taken out, thereby obtaining carbon densified fine particles 5 (FIG. 1(F)).

Preferably, 500 ° C. to 700 ° C. is more preferable) and carbonization can be performed, and the fine particles densified with carbon can be infusibilized in an oxidizing atmosphere such as air and carbonized.

減圧工程を行わなかった以外は、実施例1と同様にして、炭素緻密化微粒子を得た。得られた炭素緻密化微粒子を実施例1と同様に電子顕微鏡観察した結果、微細気孔内は含浸ピッチで緻密化(充填)されていたが、充填率は低かった(充填率:30%)。結果を下記表1及び2に示す。
(Example 3)
Densified carbon fine particles were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the decompression step was not performed. As a result of electron microscopic observation of the resulting densified carbon fine particles in the same manner as in Example 1, the fine pores were densified (filled) with the impregnated pitch, but the filling rate was low (filling rate: 30%). The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

(比較例1)
オートクレーブに平均気孔径が10μmの微細な気孔を持つ平均直径が1mm径の金属微粒子を載置及びキノリン不溶分3%、トルエン不溶分15%、固定炭素55%、軟化点85℃の含浸ピッチを載置した。
(Comparative example 1)
Metal fine particles with an average diameter of 1 mm and fine pores with an average pore diameter of 10 μm are placed in an autoclave, and impregnated pitch with a quinoline insoluble content of 3%, a toluene insoluble content of 15%, fixed carbon of 55%, and a softening point of 85° C. is placed. placed.

減圧下250℃に加熱後、窒素雰囲気で0.6GPaの加圧下で2時間保持した。冷却後、微粒子を取り出し、微粒子を研磨して顕微鏡観察した結果、キノリン不溶分で緻密化が阻害されたため、微細気孔内は、充分には含浸ピッチで緻密化されていなかった(充填率:10%)。結果を下記表1及び2に示す。 After heating to 250° C. under reduced pressure, it was held under a pressure of 0.6 GPa in a nitrogen atmosphere for 2 hours. After cooling, the fine particles were taken out, and the fine particles were polished and observed under a microscope. As a result, quinoline-insoluble matter inhibited densification, so that the inside of the micropores was not sufficiently densified with the impregnated pitch (filling rate: 10 %). The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.
