Accordingly, the nonaqueous electrolyte battery having such a negative electrode has a longer cycle life.
- the graphite material having an average value of the shape parameter X represented by the formula below, of 125 or less in addition to satisfying the above-described bulk density, is used in order to achieve a further increased cycle life.
- X ( W/T ) ⁇ ( L/T )

- the average shape parameter X ave is preferably in the range of 2 to 115, more particularly, in the range of 2 to 100.

It is considered that submicron particles adhering to the graphite particles are causing the bulk density to decrease. When the particles adhere, the specific surface area is increased. Accordingly, a higher bulk density is achieved if the graphite material having a smaller specific surface is used, even when the particle sizes are comparable. Thus, the nonaqueous electrolyte battery comprising the negative electrode 4 containing such a graphite material has improved cycle characteristics.
- the graphite material has a 10% cumulative particle diameter of 3 ⁇ m or more, a 50% cumulative particle diameter of 10 ⁇ m or more, and a 90% cumulative particle diameter of 70 ⁇ m or less.

- the distribution number of the particles having smaller diameters is increased, the exothermic temperature generated from an abnormal situation such as overcharge may be elevated.
- the distribution number of the particles having larger diameters is increased, failures such as short circuits may occur inside the battery at the time of initial charging. This is because when lithium is intercalated into the graphite layers constituting the negative electrode during charging, the size of crystallites of the graphite are expanded by approximately 10%, causing the negative electrode to press against the positive electrode 2 and the separator 5 .
- the average fracture strength of the graphite particles is 6 kgf/mm 2 or more.
- graphite materials having a high crystallinity graphite hexagonal net faces are developed in the direction of the a axis and are stacked to make crystallites in the c axis.
- the bonds between the carbon hexagonal faces are yielded by van der Waals forces, are weak, and easily suffer from deformations due to stresses.
- the graphite material is press-formed to make the electrode, the graphite material is more likely to suffer from fractures than a carbonaceous material formed by a low-temperature heat treatment, and it is difficult to secure open pores. Since the nonaqueous electrolyte is held in the open pores, an increase in the number of open pores results in an increase in the amount of the electrolyte. Thus, diffusion of ions in the electrode is smooth, improving the discharge characteristics.
- a pulverized and classified graphitized molded material formed by thermally treating and graphitizing a molded carbonaceous material is used as the negative electrode active material.
- the molded graphitized material has a higher bulk density and higher fracture strength compared to the above-described graphite material.
- the molded graphitized material is formed by mixing coke, which is used as a filler, and binder pitch, which is used as a binder or sintering agent, so as to carbonize the binder pitch, impregnating the carbonized binder pitch with a pitch to perform carbonization, and further performing graphitization.
- the filler itself may be a material having bondability and sinterability. The same molded graphitized material can still be obtained.
- the resulting substance after the graphitization exhibits a polycrystalline structure. Furthermore, because elements such as sulfur and nitrogen contained therein are gasified and emitted during the thermal treatment, the passages thereof form micro pores. As a consequence, lithium doping/undoping at the negative electrode material is promoted. There is also a commercial advantage of high process efficiencies.
- the graphitizable material is formed using the same starting materials as those of the above-described artificial graphite.
- the coal and the pitch existing as a liquid at a temperature of approximately 400° C. at the most, are kept at that temperature so that aromatic rings are condensed to be polycyclic and are aligned.

Crystallized or amorphous compounds primarily containing iron oxide, ruthenium oxide, molybdenum oxide, tungsten oxide, titanium oxide, tin oxide, silicon oxide, or the like may be used as such an oxide.

It is sufficient if there is lithium at an amount corresponding to a charge/discharge capacity of 250 mAh or more per gram of the negative electrode carbonaceous material in the entire battery system. It should be noted here that the amount of lithium is determined based on the discharge capacity of the nonaqueous electrolyte battery.

Description
- The present application claims priority to Japanese Applications Nos. P2000-122417 filed Apr. 18, 2000 and P2000-333571 filed Oct. 31, 2000, which application is incorporated herein by reference to the extent permitted by law.
- The present invention relates to a nonaqueous electrolyte battery comprising a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode containing a negative electrode active material capable of being doped/undoped with lithium, and a nonaqueous electrolyte.
- Progress in electronic technology has led to the development of various types of small and portable high-performance electronic devices. Accordingly, batteries for operating these electronic devices are required to be light-weight and of high-capacity, and energy density thereof needs to be further improved.
- As the batteries for driving these electronic devices, secondary batteries such as nickel-cadmium batteries, lead batteries, and so forth have been conventionally used. However, these batteries have a low discharge potential and fail to obtain a desired energy density.
- Presently, research and development on the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery having a negative electrode composed of lithium or a lithium alloy is being conducted widely.
- This type of battery has a high energy density and a low self-discharge, and is light-weight because a lithium containing composite oxide having a high discharge voltage, typically LiCoO2, is used as the material of the positive electrode. However, when the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery has a negative electrode composed of lithium or a lithium alloy, lithium dendrite grows and reaches the positive electrode during repeated charge/discharge cycles, causing short-circuits inside the battery. Moreover, when quick a charge/discharge is performed as in the case of actual use, dendrite is generated inside the battery, making the battery unusable.
- Consequently, a nonaqueous electrolyte battery using a negative electrode active material which is capable of occluding lithium ions in an intercalation compound, such as a metal oxide or carbon, and which is capable of being doped/undoped with lithium without depositing lithium on the negative electrode, i.e., a so-called lithium-ion battery, has drawn wide attention. In this lithium-ion secondary battery, lithium dendrite does not precipitate, even when the charge/discharge cycle is repeated, and superior charge/discharge cycle characteristics can be obtained.
- Because of these advantages, lithium-ion secondary batteries have come to be used in various fields as the power sources of various electronic devices, especially portable devices.
- Among portable electronic devices, cellular phones, for example, are used repetitively and perpetually consume electricity. Consequently, the secondary batteries used as the power sources of these portable electronic devices undergo a frequent charge and discharge.
- When the lithium-ion secondary battery is frequently charged and discharged, the battery capacity thereof is degraded due to the irreversible reactions occurring between the negative electrode and the nonaqueous electrolyte. As a result, the lithium-ion secondary battery suffers from a short cycle life.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a nonaqueous electrolyte battery in which the capacity after cycling is significantly improved, thereby achieving a longer cycle life.
- In order to achieve the above object, the nonaqueous electrolyte battery according to one aspect of the present invention includes a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode containing a negative electrode active material capable of being doped/undoped with lithium, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The nonaqueous electrolyte contains at least one of thiols, thiophenes, thioanisoles, thiazoles, thioacetates, aromatic sulfones, and the derivatives thereof.
- Because a film composed of the above-described organic compound contained in the nonaqueous electrolyte is formed on the surfaces of the negative electrode of the secondary battery, irreversible reactions between the negative electrode and the nonaqueous electrolyte are prevented in the nonaqueous electrolyte battery of the present invention.
-
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to an aspect of the present invention. - The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
- A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present invention is applied to what is known as a lithium-ion secondary battery. The lithium-ion secondary battery comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary structure of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to the present invention. The battery is of a cylindrical shape and is formed by stacking a sheet-shapedpositive electrode 2, a sheet-shapednegative electrode 4, and aseparator 5 provided therebetween, rolling or spirally winding the stack in a longitudinal direction, placing the rolled electrodes into abattery case 6, and filling thebattery case 6 with a nonaqueous electrolyte. Thepositive electrode 2 is prepared by forming positive electrode active material layers containing a positive electrode active material on the surfaces of a positive electrode collector 1. Thenegative electrode 4 is prepared by forming negative electrode active material layers containing a negative electrode active material on the surfaces of anegative electrode collector 3. - The nonaqueous electrolyte contains at least one of thiols, thiophenes, thioanisoles, thiazoles, thioacetates, aromatic sulfones, and the derivatives thereof.
- Examples of the thiols are aliphatic thiols such as methanethiol and ethanethiol; aromatic thiols such as thiophenol, 4-fluorothiophenol, 2-chlorothiophenol, 4-t-butylthiophenol, and 4-t-butyl-1,2-benzenethiol; and derivatives thereof.
- Examples of the thiophenes are thiophene, 2-acetylthiophene, 3-acetylthiophene, 2,5-diacetylthiophene, 2-thiophenecarbonylchloride, 2-methoxycarbonylthiophene, 2,5-bismethoxycarbonylthiophene, and the derivatives thereof.
- Examples of the thioanisoles are thioanisole, 4-methylthiobenzonitrile, 4-methylthioacetophenone, 2-methlthiobenzaldehyde, 2-chlorothioanisole, 4-bromothioanisole, and the derivatives thereof.

- Examples of the aromatic sulfones are methyl phenyl sulfone, 4-methylsulfonylacetophenone, tribromomethylphenylsulfone, and their derivatives.
- During a charge/discharge, a film composed of the above-described organic compound contained in the nonaqueous electrolyte is formed on the surfaces of the negative electrode of the nonaqueous electrolyte battery.
- This film prevents the irreversible reactions between the negative electrode and the nonaqueous electrolyte and reduces the capacity degradation which would otherwise occur when a charge/discharge is performed repetitively.
- The content of at least one of thiols, thiophenes, thioanisoles, thiazoles, thioacetates, aromatic sulfones, and the derivatives thereof is preferably in the range of 0.03 percent by weight to 10 percent by weight of the entire nonaqueous electrolyte and, more preferably, in the range of 0.05 percent by weight to 10 percent by weight.
- When the content of the above-described organic compound is less than 0.03 percent by weight, the resulting film may not have a desired thickness. In contrast, when the content of the above-described organic compound exceeds 10 percent by weight, the film formed on the surfaces of the negative electrode may be excessively thick and may prevent lithium doping/undoping at the negative electrode.
- By setting the content of at least one of thiols, thiophenes, thioanisoles, thiazoles, thioacetates, aromatic sulfones, and the derivatives thereof in the range of 0.05 percent by weight to 10 percent by weight, the irreversible reactions between the negative electrode and the nonaqueous electrolyte can be effectively prevented.
- The negative electrode is prepared by forming negative electrode active material layers containing a negative electrode active material on a negative electrode collector. The negative electrode collector is composed of, for example, nickel foil.
- As the negative electrode active materials, materials capable of being doped/undoped with lithium, i.e., carbonaceous materials, crystallized or amorphous metal oxides, etc., are used.

positive electrode 2 or a source other than thepositive electrode 2 to be electrochemically intercalated during and after the battery is made. Moreover, the raw material may be formed as a lithium-containing material so as to form thenegative electrode 4 containing lithium when the battery is made. - When a metal capable of forming an alloy with lithium or an alloy compound of such a metal is used as the negative electrode active material, the metal or the alloy may or may not be pulverized.

- The graphite material preferably has the bulk density and the average shape parameter Xave in the above-described ranges. Moreover, the graphite material preferably has a specific surface area, determined by a nitrogen-adsorption Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, of 9 m2/g or less, more preferably 7 m2/g or less, and most preferably 5 m2/g or less. It is considered that submicron particles adhering to the graphite particles are causing the bulk density to decrease. When the particles adhere, the specific surface area is increased. Accordingly, a higher bulk density is achieved if the graphite material having a smaller specific surface is used, even when the particle sizes are comparable. Thus, the nonaqueous electrolyte battery comprising the
negative electrode 4 containing such a graphite material has improved cycle characteristics. - Preferably, in a particle size distribution determined by a laser diffraction analysis, the graphite material has a 10% cumulative particle diameter of 3 μm or more, a 50% cumulative particle diameter of 10 μm or more, and a 90% cumulative particle diameter of 70 μm or less. Initial failures of the nonaqueous electrolyte battery are significantly reduced when the 90% cumulative particle diameter is 60 μm or less.
- When the particle size has a range of values, it becomes possible to efficiently fill the electrode with the graphite material. Preferably, the particle size distribution coincides with a normal distribution. When the distribution number of the particles having smaller diameters is increased, the exothermic temperature generated from an abnormal situation such as overcharge may be elevated. In contrast, when the distribution number of the particles having larger diameters is increased, failures such as short circuits may occur inside the battery at the time of initial charging. This is because when lithium is intercalated into the graphite layers constituting the negative electrode during charging, the size of crystallites of the graphite are expanded by approximately 10%, causing the negative electrode to press against the
positive electrode 2 and theseparator 5. - Accordingly, by using a graphite material having a well-balanced particle size distribution of small to large diameters, highly reliable batteries can be manufactured.
- Preferably, the average fracture strength of the graphite particles is 6 kgf/mm2 or more. Generally, in graphite materials having a high crystallinity, graphite hexagonal net faces are developed in the direction of the a axis and are stacked to make crystallites in the c axis. The bonds between the carbon hexagonal faces are yielded by van der Waals forces, are weak, and easily suffer from deformations due to stresses. Accordingly, when the graphite material is press-formed to make the electrode, the graphite material is more likely to suffer from fractures than a carbonaceous material formed by a low-temperature heat treatment, and it is difficult to secure open pores. Since the nonaqueous electrolyte is held in the open pores, an increase in the number of open pores results in an increase in the amount of the electrolyte. Thus, diffusion of ions in the electrode is smooth, improving the discharge characteristics.
- Preferably, a pulverized and classified graphitized molded material formed by thermally treating and graphitizing a molded carbonaceous material is used as the negative electrode active material. The molded graphitized material has a higher bulk density and higher fracture strength compared to the above-described graphite material.
- The molded graphitized material is formed by mixing coke, which is used as a filler, and binder pitch, which is used as a binder or sintering agent, so as to carbonize the binder pitch, impregnating the carbonized binder pitch with a pitch to perform carbonization, and further performing graphitization. Alternatively, the filler itself may be a material having bondability and sinterability. The same molded graphitized material can still be obtained.
- When coke, which is used as a filler, and binder pitch are used, the resulting substance after the graphitization exhibits a polycrystalline structure. Furthermore, because elements such as sulfur and nitrogen contained therein are gasified and emitted during the thermal treatment, the passages thereof form micro pores. As a consequence, lithium doping/undoping at the negative electrode material is promoted. There is also a commercial advantage of high process efficiencies.
- The graphitizable material is formed using the same starting materials as those of the above-described artificial graphite. During the carbonization, the coal and the pitch, existing as a liquid at a temperature of approximately 400° C. at the most, are kept at that temperature so that aromatic rings are condensed to be polycyclic and are aligned. Subsequently, when the temperature reaches 500° C. or more, a solid carbon-precursor, that is, semicoke, is formed. This process is a typical process for making graphitizable carbon and is called a liquid-phase carbonization process.
- As the metal oxide, it is preferable to use an oxide containing a transition metal. Crystallized or amorphous compounds primarily containing iron oxide, ruthenium oxide, molybdenum oxide, tungsten oxide, titanium oxide, tin oxide, silicon oxide, or the like may be used as such an oxide. It is especially preferable to use a compound having a charge/discharge potential similar to that of metallic lithium.
- The positive electrode is prepared by forming positive electrode active material layers containing a positive electrode active material on the surfaces of a positive electrode collector. The positive electrode collector is composed of, for example, an aluminum foil.
- As the positive electrode active material, a lithium-based metal oxide, an intercalation compound containing lithium, or the like may be used. More specifically, it is preferable to use a composite oxide containing lithium and a transition metal represented by the general formula LiMxOy, wherein M includes at least one of Co, Ni, Mn, Fe, Al, V, and Ti).
- The positive electrode in a charged state preferably contains lithium at an amount corresponding to the charge/discharge capacity of 250 mAh or more, more preferably 300 mAh or more, per gram of the negative electrode carbonaceous material after undergoing a charge/discharge cycle for approximately five times. Alternatively, lithium may be supplied from sources other than positive electrode, typically from the electrolyte. It is sufficient if there is lithium at an amount corresponding to a charge/discharge capacity of 250 mAh or more per gram of the negative electrode carbonaceous material in the entire battery system. It should be noted here that the amount of lithium is determined based on the discharge capacity of the nonaqueous electrolyte battery.
- Although the present invention is described above in terms of the nonaqueous electrolyte battery using the liquid nonaqueous electrolyte, the scope of invention is not limited to this. A gel electrolyte prepared by gelifying the above-described nonaqueous electrolyte using gelatinizer, a solid polymer electrolyte prepared by dissolving or mixing an electrolyte salt into a polymer matrix, or a polymer gel electrolyte prepared by stabilizing the above-described nonaqueous electrolyte in a polymer matrix may be used in the nonaqueous electrolyte battery.
- In the liquid electrolyte, the nonaqueous solvent contains a high-dielectric-coefficient solvent highly capable of dissolving an electrolyte salt as the main solvent and a low-viscosity solvent highly capable of transferring electrolyte ions as the additive.
- Examples of the high-dielectric-coefficient solvents are propylene carbonate (hereinafter referred to as “PC”), ethylene carbonate (hereinafter referred to as “EC”), butylene carbonate (hereinafter referred to as “BC”), vinylene carbonate (hereinafter referred to as “VC”), sulfolanes, butyrolactones, and valerolactones. Examples of the low-viscosity solvents are symmetrical and asymmetrical chain carbonic esters such as diethyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate (hereinafter referred to as “DMC”), methylethyl carbonate, and methylpropyl carbonate; carboxylate ester such as methyl propionate and ethyl propionate; and phosphoester such as trimethyl phosphate and triethyl phosphate. These nonaqueous solvents may be used alone or in combination.
- It should be noted that when PC is used as the main solvent of the nonaqueous solvent in combination with graphite as the negative electrode active material, the PC may be decomposed by the graphite and, as a consequence, the capacity of the nonaqueous electrolyte battery may be degraded. Accordingly, when graphite is used as the negative electrode active material, the type of EC which withstands the decomposition by graphite or an EC compound in which at least one hydrogen atom is replaced with at least one halogen atom may be used as the main solvent of the nonaqueous solvent.
- More preferably, a portion of the EC which withstands the decomposition by graphite or a compound with at least one halogen atom replacing at least one hydrogen atom may be replaced by a second component solvent. In this manner, the nonaqueous electrolyte battery exhibits further superior characteristics.
- Examples of second component solvents are PC, BC, VC, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, 1,2-diethoxyethane, γ-butyrolactone, valerolactone, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, 1,3-dioxolane, 4-methy-1,3-dioxolane, and sulfolane, methylsulfolane. It is especially preferable to use a carbonic ester based solvent such as PC, BC, VC, or the like at an amount of 40 percent by volume or less and more preferably 20 percent by volume or less.
- There is no limit imposed as to the types of electrolyte salts as long as the electrolyte salt is a lithium salt exhibiting ion conductivity. Examples are LiClO4, LiAsF6, LiPF6, LiBF4, LiB(C6H5)4, CH3SO3Li, CF3SO3Li, LiN(CF3SO2)2, LiC(CF3SO2)3, LiCl, and LiBr. These electrolyte salts may be used alone or in combination.
- When the gel electrolyte or the polymer gel electrolyte is used as the nonaqueous electrolyte, poly(vinylidene fluoride), copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, polyamides, aromatic polyamides, polyolefins, polyesters, polycarbonates, polyimides, poly(met)acrylates, polyacrylonitrile, or the like may be used as the gelatinizer or as the polymer material for stabilizing the nonaqueous electrolyte.
- It should be noted that although the present invention is described in terms of a cylindrical nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery as shown in
FIG. 1 , the shape of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery is not limited to this and may be square-shaped, laminate-shaped, card-shaped, etc. - The present invention is described below by way of examples. A plurality of lithium-ion secondary batteries were prepared as the examples and as the comparative examples of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries.
- In Experiment 1, liquid nonaqueous electrolytes containing various types of organic compounds were prepared to examine the differences in battery characteristics according to the types of the organic compounds added.
- Preparation of Negative Electrode
- A graphitized-material powder was prepared as a negative electrode active material.
- First, 30 parts by weight of a coal-tar-based pitch as a binder was added to 100 parts by weight of a coal-based coke as a filler. After mixing at a temperature of approximately 100° C., the mixture was press-formed using a press so as to make a precursor of a molded carbonaceous material.
- The resulting precursor was then thermally-treated at a temperature of 1,000° C. or less to form a molded carbonaceous material.
- The molded carbonaceous material was impregnated with a melt of binder pitch at a temperature of 200° C. or less and was then thermally treated at a temperature of 1,000° C. or less. This pitch-impregnation/baking process is repeated several times. Subsequently, the molded carbonaceous material was thermally treated in an inert atmosphere at a temperature of 2,800° C. so as to form a molded graphitized material. The molded graphitized material was pulverized and classified to make a graphitized-material powder.
- The graphitized-material powder was subjected to an X-ray diffraction analysis. The results showed that the interplanar distance of the (002) plane was 0.337 nm and the thickness of the c-axis crystallite calculated from the (002) diffraction lines was 50.0 nm. The true density obtained by using a pycnometer was 2.23 g/cm3, and the bulk density obtained by a method described in JIS K-1469 was 0.83 g/cm3. The average shape parameter Xave was 31.2 μm average diameter. The specific surface area measured by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method was 4.4 m2/g. The average particle diameter in the particle size distribution determined by a laser diffraction method was 31.2 μm, the 10% cumulative grain diameter was 12.3 μm, the 50% cumulative grain diameter was 29.5 μm, the 90% cumulative grain diameter was 53.7 μm, and the mean value of the fracture strength of the graphite particles was 7.1 kgf/mm2. The bulk density and the average shape parameter Xave were determined as follows.
- Method for Determining Bulk Density
- The bulk density was determined by the method described in JIS K-1469. To be specific, a sample powder of a molded-graphitized-material powder was gradually put into a measuring cylinder having a capacity of 100 g/cm3. The mass of the cylinder had been determined in advance. The mass of the measuring cylinder and the sample powder was determined as a whole with an accuracy of 0.1 g and the mass of the measuring cylinder was subtracted therefrom so as to determine the mass (M) of the powder sample. The measuring cylinder containing the sample powder was corked and dropped 50 times onto a rubber plate from a height of 5 cm so as to compress the sample powder contained in the measuring cylinder. The volume (V) of the compressed sample powder was then determined. The bulk density (g/cm3) is calculated according to the formula below.
- D=M/V
- D: bulk density (g/cm3)
- M: mass (g) of the sample powder in the measuring cylinder
- V: volume (cm3) of the sample powder in the measuring cylinder after dropping 50 times
- Average Shape Parameter Xave
- The average shape parameter Xave, that is, the average of the shape parameter X, was obtained as follows. First, a sample powder of the graphite material was examined using a scanning electron microscope and ten particles having the length in the longitudinal axis of ±30% of the average grain diameter determined by using a grain size distribution measuring apparatus such as laser diffraction method were selected. The thickness (T) of the thickest portion, the length (L) in the longitudinal direction, and the length (W) in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction were determined for each of the selected particles, the shape parameter X was calculated using the formula below, and the average value thereof was calculated to obtain the average shape parameter Xave.
X=(W/T)×(L/T) - X: shape parameter
- T: the thickness of the thickest portion of the particle
- L: the length in the longitudinal direction of the particle
- W: the length in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the particle
- Next, 90 parts by weight of a molded-graphitized-material powder as the negative electrode active material was mixed with 10 parts by weight of poly(vinylidene fluoride) as the binder to prepare a negative electrode mixture. The mixture was dispersed into N-methylpyrrolidone to make a negative electrode mixture slurry. The negative electrode mixture slurry was evenly applied onto both surfaces of a copper foil which is used as a negative electrode collector and has a thickness of 10 μm, was dried, was press-formed at a predetermined pressure, and was slit so as to form a sheet-shaped negative electrode.
- Preparation of Positive Electrode
- A mixture of lithium carbonate 0.5 molar and cobalt carbonate 1 molar was sintered in air at a temperature of 900° C. for five hours so as to synthesize LiCoO2 to be used as a positive electrode active material. The resulting substance was subjected to an X-ray diffraction analysis and it was confirmed that the results coincided with the data of LiCoO2 registered in JCPDS file. Then LiCoO2 was pulverized to make a LiCoO2 powder. The LiCoO2 powder was also pulverized so that the 50% cumulative particle diameter thereof was 15 μm in the grain size distribution determined by a laser diffraction method.
- 95 parts by weight of LiCoO2 powder and 5 parts by weight of lithium carbonate powder were mixed to make a mixture powder. 91 parts by weight of the mixture powder, 6 parts by weight of the graphite flakes as a conductant agent, and 3 parts by weight of poly(vinylidene fluoride) as a binder were mixed to prepare a positive electrode mixture. The positive electrode mixture was then dispersed into N-methylpyrrolidone to make a positive electrode mixture slurry. The positive electrode mixture slurry was evenly applied onto both surfaces of an aluminum foil which is used as a positive electrode collector and has a thickness of 20 μm, was dried, was press-formed at a predetermined pressure, and was slit so as to form a sheet-shaped positive electrode.
- Preparation of Nonaqueous Electrolyte Liquid
-
- The negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet formed as in the above were stacked with a separator composed of a microporous polypropylene film having a thickness of 25 μm therebetween in the order of the negative electrode, the separator, the positive electrode, and the separator. The stack was rolled a number of times so as to form spirally-wound electrodes having an outer diameter of 18 mm.
- The spirally-wound electrodes were then inserted into an iron battery case plated with nickel. Insulation plates were provided on the top face and the bottom face of the spirally-wound electrodes. A nickel negative electrode lead was led out from the negative electrode collector and was welded to the battery case. The battery case connected with the negative electrode functions as an external negative electrode of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. An aluminum positive electrode lead was led out from the positive electrode collector and was welded to a battery lid with a current blocking plate for blocking electronic current in response to the battery-inner-voltage therebetween. The battery lid connected with the positive electrode functions as an external positive electrode of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery.
- After filling the battery case with the nonaqueous electrolyte liquid prepared as above, the battery lid was fixed by caulking the battery case through a sealing gasket on which asphalt is applied.
