Description
本發明係關於一種鋰離子二次電池用正極材料、由該鋰離子二次電池用正極材料所構成之正極活性物質層、及鋰離子二次電池。The present invention relates to a positive electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery, a positive electrode active material layer composed of the positive electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery, and a lithium ion secondary battery.
鋰離子二次電池用作蓄電用之大型定置用電源、電動汽車用等之電源，近年來正發展電池之小型化及薄型化之研究。鋰離子二次電池一般具備於金屬箔之表面形成有電極活性物質層之兩電極（正極及負極）、及配置於兩電極之間之分隔件。分隔件發揮防止兩電極間之短路或保持電解液之作用。Lithium-ion secondary batteries are used as power sources for large-scale stationary power storage, electric vehicles, and the like. In recent years, research into miniaturization and thinning of batteries is being developed. Lithium-ion secondary batteries generally include two electrodes (positive electrodes and negative electrodes) in which an electrode active material layer is formed on a surface of a metal foil, and a separator disposed between the two electrodes. The separator plays a role of preventing a short circuit between the two electrodes or maintaining an electrolyte.
作為鋰離子二次電池之正極所使用之正極活性物質，一般使用鋰金屬氧化物，例如，已知顯示高之充放電電容之鋰鎳鈷鋁系氧化物。
一般來說，氫氧化鋰作為製造鋰金屬氧化物之起始原料而使用。因此，於上述之鋰鎳鈷鋁系氧化物等正極活性物質中，殘存有一定量之氫氧化鋰，已知因此會由充放電循環導致放電減少等，電池性能會降低（專利文獻1）。又，氫氧化鋰之鹼性高，由此，於將正極活性物質、黏合劑、導電助劑、溶劑等混合而製作漿料時，該漿料會凝膠化，因此，就防止凝膠化之觀點而言，揭示一種摻合酸之技術（專利文獻2）。
先前技術文獻
專利文獻As a positive electrode active material used for a positive electrode of a lithium ion secondary battery, a lithium metal oxide is generally used, and for example, a lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide having a high charge-discharge capacitance is known.
Generally, lithium hydroxide is used as a starting material for producing lithium metal oxides. Therefore, a certain amount of lithium hydroxide remains in the above-mentioned positive electrode active materials such as lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, and it is known that the battery performance is reduced due to a reduction in discharge caused by the charge and discharge cycle (Patent Document 1). In addition, lithium hydroxide has a high basicity. Therefore, when a positive electrode active material, a binder, a conductive aid, a solvent, and the like are mixed to prepare a slurry, the slurry gels, and therefore, gelation is prevented. From the viewpoint, a technique for blending an acid is disclosed (Patent Document 2).

[發明所欲解決之課題][Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
然而，若為了中和鋰鎳鈷鋁系氧化物中所含有之氫氧化鋰而摻合酸，則凝膠化雖然受到抑制，但正極之電阻變高，作為鋰離子二次電池之輸出特性降低。
於是，本發明之課題在於提供一種於使用鋰鎳鈷鋁系氧化物作為正極活性物質之情形時，輸出特性良好且密度高之正極材料、由該正極材料所構成之正極活性物質層、及具備該正極活性物質層之鋰離子二次電池。
[解決課題之技術手段]However, if an acid is blended to neutralize lithium hydroxide contained in the lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, the gelation is suppressed, but the resistance of the positive electrode is increased, and the output characteristics of the lithium ion secondary battery are reduced. .

（奈米碳管）
本發明之正極材料含有長度為1〜20 μm、縱橫比（長度/粗度比）為80〜5000之奈米碳管。該奈米碳管係發揮作為導電助劑之功能者，藉有含有其而電阻值降低，藉此，輸出特性提高，且正極密度變高。認為其原因在於，由於具有特定之形狀之奈米碳管容易填埋作為正極活性物質之鋰鎳鈷鋁系氧化物間之空隙，故容易使正極活性物質彼此導通，且容易減少正極材料中之空隙，從而容易提高密度。
若本發明之正極材料所使用之奈米碳管之長度未達1 μm，則存在變得難以填埋正極活性物質間之空隙、正極密度容易降低之傾向。若奈米碳管之長度超過20 μm，則存在容易產生正極材料中之奈米碳管之分散不良、正極密度及輸出特性降低之傾向。奈米碳管之長度較佳為3〜10 μm，更佳為4〜8 μm。再者，奈米碳管之長度係多個奈米碳管之各者之長度之平均值，具體而言，根據藉由掃描式電子顯微鏡所觀察到之圖像求出20個奈米碳管之各者之長度，作為其平均值獲得。(Nano carbon tube)
The positive electrode material of the present invention contains a carbon nanotube having a length of 1 to 20 μm and an aspect ratio (length / roughness ratio) of 80 to 5000. The nano-carbon tube has a function as a conductive additive, and by including it, the resistance value is reduced, thereby improving output characteristics and increasing the density of the positive electrode. The reason is considered to be that the carbon nanotubes having a specific shape can easily fill the gaps between the lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxides as the positive electrode active material, so that the positive electrode active materials can be easily conducted to each other, and the amount of Voids, making it easy to increase density.
If the length of the nano-carbon tube used in the positive electrode material of the present invention is less than 1 μm, it tends to become difficult to fill the gaps between the positive electrode active materials, and the positive electrode density tends to decrease. If the length of the nano carbon tube exceeds 20 μm, there is a tendency that poor dispersion of the nano carbon tube in the positive electrode material tends to occur, and the positive electrode density and output characteristics tend to decrease. The length of the carbon nanotube is preferably 3 to 10 μm, and more preferably 4 to 8 μm. In addition, the length of the carbon nanotubes is an average of the lengths of each of the plurality of carbon nanotubes. Specifically, 20 carbon nanotubes were obtained based on an image observed with a scanning electron microscope. The length of each of them is obtained as its average value.
本發明之正極材料所使用之奈米碳管之縱橫比（長度/粗度比）為80〜5000。若奈米碳管之縱橫比未達80，則存在變得難以填埋正極活性物質間之空隙、正極密度容易降低之傾向。若奈米碳管之縱橫比超過5000，則存在容易產生正極材料中之奈米碳管之分散不良、正極密度及輸出特性降低之傾向。
奈米碳管之縱橫比較佳為1000〜4000，更佳為2000〜3000。再者，縱橫比係奈米碳管之長度相對於粗度（直徑）之比。再者，縱橫比係多個奈米碳管之縱橫比之平均值，具體而言，根據藉由掃描式電子顯微鏡所觀察到之圖像求出20個奈米碳管之縱橫比，作為其平均值獲得。
正極材料中之奈米碳管之含量以正極材料總量為基準，為0.1〜10質量%。若奈米碳管之含量超過10質量%，則正極活性物質之含量相對降低，輸出特性變差。若奈米碳管之含量未達0.1質量%，則正極材料之電阻容易變高，輸出特性變差。正極材料中之奈米碳管之含量以正極材料總量為基準，較佳為0.5〜5質量%，更佳為1〜4質量%。The aspect ratio (length / roughness ratio) of the nano carbon tube used in the cathode material of the present invention is 80 to 5000. If the aspect ratio of the nano carbon tube is less than 80, it tends to become difficult to fill the gaps between the positive electrode active materials, and the density of the positive electrode tends to decrease. If the aspect ratio of the nano carbon tube exceeds 5000, there is a tendency that poor dispersion of the nano carbon tube in the positive electrode material tends to occur, and the positive electrode density and output characteristics tend to decrease.
The aspect ratio of the nano carbon tube is preferably 1000 to 4000, and more preferably 2000 to 3000. The aspect ratio is the ratio of the length of the carbon nanotube to the thickness (diameter). The aspect ratio is an average value of the aspect ratios of a plurality of carbon nanotubes. Specifically, the aspect ratio of 20 carbon nanotubes was obtained from an image observed with a scanning electron microscope, and was taken as the The average is obtained.
The content of the nano carbon tube in the positive electrode material is 0.1 to 10% by mass based on the total amount of the positive electrode material. When the content of the nano carbon tube exceeds 10% by mass, the content of the positive electrode active material is relatively reduced, and output characteristics are deteriorated. If the content of the nano carbon tube is less than 0.1% by mass, the resistance of the positive electrode material tends to be high, and the output characteristics are deteriorated. The content of the nano carbon tube in the positive electrode material is based on the total amount of the positive electrode material, preferably 0.5 to 5% by mass, and more preferably 1 to 4% by mass.
本發明使用奈米碳管作為導電助劑，但於不妨礙本發明之效果之範圍內，亦可併用除奈米碳管以外之導電助劑。作為除奈米碳管以外之導電助劑，可列舉科琴黑、乙炔黑、棒狀碳等。
以導電助劑總量為基準之奈米碳管之含量較佳為80質量%以上，更佳為95質量%以上，進而較佳為100質量%。In the present invention, a nano carbon tube is used as a conductive auxiliary agent. However, as long as the effect of the present invention is not hindered, a conductive auxiliary other than a nano carbon tube may be used in combination. Examples of the conductive aid other than the carbon nanotube include Ketjen Black, acetylene black, and rod-shaped carbon.
The content of the nano carbon tube based on the total amount of the conductive additive is preferably 80% by mass or more, more preferably 95% by mass or more, and even more preferably 100% by mass.
