Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To utilize the lithium of a positive electrode for charging and discharging without losses, and allow no accumulation of gas in a battery case by charging preliminarily a battery element together with metal lithium, before incorporating the same into a battery case. SOLUTION: A battery element contained in a temporary case 5 is soaked in nonaqueous electrolyte 7 filled in a vacuum chamber 6. When a constant voltage is applied by a constant voltage power supply 11, lithium ions from a metallic lithium 10 are dissolved into the nonaqueous electrolyte 7 and are moved to a negative electrode 2 so that preliminary charging is conducted. At a negative electrode 2, surface reaction is induced by the lithium ions, and a coating is formed so as to consume lithium. However, when lithium is taken into the negative electrode 2 this way, potential difference from the metal lithium 10 is reduced so that the preliminary charging is automatically terminated. Then, the constant voltage of the constant voltage power supply 11 is adjusted, so that the lithium is supplied by proper amount.

2. Description of the Related Art Ideally, a negative electrode of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery uses metallic lithium as in the case of a primary battery.
However, when lithium metal is used for the negative electrode, lithium ions dissolved in the non-aqueous electrolyte from the positive electrode during charging will precipitate in a dendritic manner on the surface of the negative electrode, and penetrate through the separator to cause an internal short circuit with the positive electrode. May occur. Therefore, using graphite or the like having a fine layered structure as a negative electrode, lithium ions dissolved in a non-aqueous electrolyte are taken into the negative electrode by insertion so that dendritic crystals do not precipitate during charging. Non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries have been put to practical use.

However, in the above non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the lithium of the positive electrode is consumed as a film on the surface of the negative electrode at the time of the first charge. There is a problem that available lithium decreases and battery capacity decreases. For example, in the case of a battery using a lithium-cobalt composite oxide for the positive electrode and graphite for the negative electrode, about 15% of the lithium is consumed in the negative electrode, so that only about 85% of the lithium in the positive electrode is charged and discharged. Not available. Also, during the first charging, gas is generated by the surface reaction at the negative electrode, so when using a rectangular battery case or when using a flexible laminated film or the like as the battery case, this gas is externally sealed before sealing. If the battery case is not discharged, there has been a problem that the battery case expands due to gas pressure.

Is immersed in a non-aqueous electrolyte 7 filled in a vacuum chamber 6 as shown in FIG. The punched holes in the temporary case 5 are for facilitating the flow of the nonaqueous electrolyte 7 to the battery element 1. The vacuum chamber 6 is configured to evacuate the inside of the hermetically sealed chamber via an upper valve 8 to reduce the pressure. The lower valve 9 is used when exchanging the non-aqueous electrolyte 7. The metal lithium 10 is also immersed in the non-aqueous electrolyte 7 filled in the vacuum chamber 6. Then, the temporary case 5 and the metallic lithium 10 in the non-aqueous electrolyte 7 are connected to a constant voltage power supply 11 via a lead wire.
It is connected to the. The constant voltage power supply 11 is a power supply that applies a constant voltage of about 0.6 V between the negative electrode 2 of the battery element 1 and the lithium metal 10 via the temporary case 5.

When the constant voltage power supply 11 applies a constant voltage, lithium ions are dissolved from the metallic lithium 10 into the non-aqueous electrolyte 7 and moved to the negative electrode 2 to perform a preliminary charge (preliminary charge step). Then, in the negative electrode 2, a surface reaction occurs due to the lithium ions, a film is formed, and lithium is consumed. However, when the negative electrode 2 takes in lithium in this way, the difference in potential between the negative electrode 2 and the metal lithium 10 decreases, so that the preliminary charging automatically ends. If the amount of lithium supplied for the surface reaction of the negative electrode 2 is too large, a dendritic crystal may be deposited on the negative electrode 2 at the time of subsequent charging, so that a constant voltage is applied so that an appropriate amount of lithium is supplied. The constant voltage of the power supply 11 is adjusted. However, since the supply amount of lithium to the negative electrode 2 is known in advance, the circuit is shut off when the integrated value (charge amount) of the current exceeds a predetermined value, or a constant current is supplied to control the time. You may make it. When controlling the amount of lithium to be supplied in this way, the negative electrode 2 of the battery element 1 and the metallic lithium 10 may simply be electrically connected.

During the pre-charging, gas is generated by a surface reaction at the negative electrode 2. However, as it is, there is a possibility that the gas is not entirely released from the non-aqueous electrolyte 7 to the outside, but is dissolved in the non-aqueous electrolyte 7 or remains as a bubble between the electrodes of the battery element 1 or the like. However, in this embodiment, since the pressure in the vacuum chamber 6 is reduced, most of the gas generated here can be released from the non-aqueous electrolyte 7 to the outside.

When the pre-charging is completed, the temporary case 5 is taken out of the non-aqueous electrolyte 7 and the non-aqueous electrolyte 7 attached to the battery element 1 is shaken off by applying vibration or the like. And
As shown in FIG. 4, the battery element 1 is pushed out of the temporary case 5, and the battery element 1 is stored in the actual battery case 12 (case storing step). Battery case 1
Numeral 2 is a box-shaped stainless steel plate or the like, which becomes a negative electrode terminal when the copper foil of the negative electrode 2 of the battery element 1 is pressed. The positive electrode 3 of the battery element 1 is connected at the rear end of the winding to a positive electrode terminal of a battery cover (not shown). Then, a non-aqueous electrolyte is injected into the battery case 12, a battery lid is fitted into the opening, and the battery case 12 is hermetically sealed by laser welding, whereby a rectangular non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is completed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the negative electrode 2 of the battery element 1 is pre-charged before being stored in the battery case 12, lithium is supplied from the metal lithium 10, so that the actual charge and discharge The lithium of the positive electrode 3 used at the time of use is not wastefully consumed, and the battery capacity can be increased. Since this pre-charging is only for supplying lithium consumed by the negative electrode 2, the current supplied from the constant voltage power supply 11 is also small. Therefore, even if the constant-voltage power supply 11 having a small capacity is used, a large number of battery elements 1 can be immersed in the vacuum chamber 6 at a time and pre-charged collectively, so that productivity can be increased. The negative electrode 2
Since the negative electrode active material expands due to the lithium supplied in the preliminary charging, it is necessary to first form the battery element 1 by winding it together with the positive electrode 3 and the separator 4.

Further, the gas generated during the pre-charging can be reliably removed by reducing the pressure in the vacuum chamber 6, so that the rectangular battery case 12 does not expand due to the gas pressure. Moreover, even when a flexible aluminum laminate sheet or the like is used as the battery case instead of the rectangular battery case 12, swelling due to gas pressure can be similarly prevented. However, the pressure in the vacuum chamber 6 may be set to the atmospheric pressure only to prevent the pressure increase due to the gas. However, if the pressure is reduced in this manner, the gas dissolved in the non-aqueous electrolyte 7 or the battery element 1 The gas remaining as fine bubbles between the electrodes or the like can be reliably removed.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the method for producing a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present invention, lithium consumed by the surface reaction of the negative electrode is supplied from metallic lithium by preliminary preliminary charging. Therefore, the lithium of the positive electrode can be used without waste at the time of subsequent charge and discharge, and the battery capacity can be increased. In addition, since the preliminary charging is performed before the battery element is housed in the battery case, the gas generated during the surface reaction of the negative electrode can be released to the outside, and the battery case may be expanded due to the gas pressure.
