Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten drying time in a drying process so as to improve productibility by continuing mixing together and kneading an electrode active material, a conductive material, a binder, and a solvent, until the viscosity reaches its specified value by further adding solvent after the viscosity is regulat ed to a prescribed poise when those components are mixed together and kneaded. CONSTITUTION:A pulverulent body is manufactured by mixing lithium (LiCoO2 as metal compound oxide) as a positive electrode active material, black lead and acetylene black as conductive agents, and polyvinylidene fluoride as a binder. In adding a solvent so as to be mixed, and kneaded the solvent quantity is regulated so as to adjust the viscosity of the mixture at 300-600000 poise. In this case, the solvent quantity to be added is set to 20-70wt.% of all the solvent quantity to be added to the mixture and the prescribed viscosity after the solvent is mixed and kneaded, is set to 20-70 poise. Because the pulverulent body is uniformly dispersed and mixed with the solvent, a little quantity of solvent to be added further is enough to provide prescribed viscosity. Therefore, when an electrode sheet core material is coated with the obtained electrode slurry, drying time required for a drying process can be shortened.

Table 2 shows the drying time of the negative electrode sheet and the number of scratches caused by lumps on the negative electrode slurry-coated surface of the present invention product and the conventional product, respectively. As is apparent from FIG. 3 and Table 2, the drying time of the slurry is shortened to 40 minutes in the product of the present invention compared to 60 minutes in the conventional product.

[Table 2] According to the manufacturing method described above, when a small amount of solvent is added to the mixed powder of the electrode active material, the conductive material, and the binder and the mixture is kneaded at a high viscosity, the powder partially forms due to the sliding effect between the powders. It is uniformly dispersed and mixed without agglomerating. Therefore,
Since it is possible to further reduce the amount of solvent added to obtain the viscosity required for the electrode slurry, it is possible to reduce the total amount of solvent added to the mixed powder as compared with the conventional case. Therefore, the drying time of the slurry in the post process can be shortened.
Further, the powder can be uniformly dispersed and mixed by the sliding effect to prevent partial agglomeration. Therefore, when the powder is applied to a thin metal plate to prepare an electrode sheet, it is possible to achieve a uniform coating state without scratches on the surface.

In this embodiment, the slurry viscosity after the first solvent addition and kneading to the mixed powder was 1500 poise, but if this viscosity is set to less than 300 poise, the amount of solvent must be increased unnecessarily. In addition to the above, the kneading time becomes too long, and if it is larger than 600,000 poise, even if partial agglomeration of the powder occurs, it cannot be solved and finally uniform mixing becomes difficult. Therefore, the slurry viscosity after the first solvent addition and kneading to the mixed powder is 300 to
600,000 poise is desirable.

The final slurry viscosity for the mixed powder is 28 poise. When the obtained slurry is applied to the core material of the electrode sheet, the slurry is too soft as 20 poise or more than 70 poise. If it is too large, it will be too hard, and in any case, the coatability on the core material will deteriorate. Therefore, the final slurry viscosity is preferably 20 to 70 poise.

Furthermore, the total amount of the solvent added to the mixed powder is 60% by weight and 140% by weight with respect to the mixed powder in the positive electrode slurry and the negative electrode slurry, respectively, but when this is less than 40% by weight in the positive electrode slurry. If the amount of the solvent is too small and the viscosity of the powder becomes too high, the powder partially aggregates, which makes it difficult to uniformly mix the powder, and when it is more than 70% by weight, it becomes a slurry. If it is too soft, the coatability on the core material will be poor, and the amount of solvent will be too large, and the drying time in the drying step will be long. Therefore,
The total amount of the solvent added to the mixed powder for the positive electrode slurry is preferably 40 to 70% by weight of the mixed powder to be added. Similarly, the total amount of the solvent added to the mixed powder for negative electrode slurry is preferably 90 to 180% by weight of the mixed powder to be added.

The amount of solvent initially added to the mixed powder is
About 33% by weight of the total amount of the solvent added in the positive electrode slurry and about 50% by weight of the total amount of the solvent added in the negative electrode slurry, but if it is less than 20% by weight, the amount of the solvent is too small and the viscosity of the powder becomes too high. Partial agglomeration of the body occurs and it becomes difficult to uniformly mix the powders. Also, when the content is more than 70% by weight, the amount of the solvent increases and the viscosity becomes too low so that the sliding effect between the powders does not occur. Therefore, even if partial agglomeration occurs, it cannot be eliminated and it becomes difficult to uniformly mix the powder. Therefore, the initial amount of solvent added to the mixed powder is preferably 20 to 70% by weight of the total amount of solvent added.

Further, the kneading time at the time of first adding the solvent to the mixed powder was set to 60 minutes, but the kneading time can be shortened by devising the amounts of the various powders and the solvent and the kneading method. However, in any case, if it is less than 10 minutes, it becomes difficult to uniformly mix the powder. Therefore, the kneading time at the time of first adding the solvent to the mixed powder is preferably 10 minutes or more.

When the electrode active material, the conductive material, the binder and the solvent are kneaded, the amount of the solvent is adjusted to adjust the viscosity of the kneaded product to 300 to 600,000 poises. Since the conductive material and the binder are uniformly dispersed and mixed in the solvent without partially agglomerating, a small amount of solvent may be added in order to obtain a predetermined viscosity thereafter. Therefore, a small amount of solvent is required as compared with the conventional manufacturing method, and thus when the obtained electrode slurry is applied to the core material of the electrode sheet, the drying time of the slurry in the drying step can be shortened, and thus the production You can improve the property. Moreover, since the kneaded product is uniformly dispersed and mixed, a slurry having a uniform viscosity can be obtained. Therefore, when the obtained electrode slurry is applied to the core material of the electrode sheet, a uniform application state can be realized and thus the quality can be improved.
