FIGS. 1A and 1B are pattern diagrams of graphene. -
FIG. 2 is a graph showing potential of vacancies. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a structure of a coin-type secondary battery. -
FIG. 4 illustrates electric devices. - Embodiments will be described below. Note that embodiments can be carried out in many different modes, and it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that modes and details of the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present invention. Thus, the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to the following description of the embodiments.
- In this embodiment, an example in which graphene having a path through which an ion passes or a stack of graphene having a path through which an ion passes is formed on a surface of silicon particles, will be described.
- First, graphite oxide is prepared by oxidizing graphite and then subjected to ultrasonic vibration to give graphene oxide. For details,
Patent Document 2 may be referred to. Alternatively, commercially available graphene oxide may be used. - Next, the graphene oxide is mixed with silicon particles. The proportion of graphene oxide may be set in the range from 1 wt. % to 15 wt. %, preferably from 1 wt. % to 5 wt. % of the total.
- Then, heat treatment is performed on the mixture of the graphene oxide or a stack of graphene oxide and the silicon particles in an ammonia atmosphere at 150° C. or higher, preferably 200° C. or higher. Note that graphene oxide is known to be reduced at 150° C.
- By the heat treatment, the graphene oxide formed over the surfaces of the silicon particles is reduced to be graphene. In this treatment, graphene and another adjacent graphene are bonded to form a larger net-like or sheet-like network, and at this time, a hole is formed in the graphene. When the heat treatment is performed in an ammonia atmosphere, nitrogen is added to the graphene. The nitrogen concentration in the graphene is preferably higher than or equal to 0.4 at. % and lower than or equal to 40 at. %. Further, when a plurality of graphene sheets (the number of sheets is greater than or equal to 2 or less than or equal to 100, preferably greater than or equal to 2 or less than or equal to 50) are formed, a stack of graphene is formed.
- Alternatively, heat treatment may be performed on the mixture of the graphene oxide and silicon particles in vacuum or an inert gas (such as nitrogen or a rare gas) atmosphere at 150° C. or higher, preferably 200° C. or higher, and then nitrogen may be added to graphene or a stack of graphene. The hole can be formed in the graphene by the above method.
- Alternatively, by performing ammonia plasma treatment or nitrogen plasma treatment, nitrogen can be added to graphene or a stack of graphene. Further alternatively, a nitrogen ion may be added to graphene or a stack of graphene by an ion doping method or an ion implantation method.
- An atom substituted for a carbon atom by implantation of element may be an oxygen atom, a halogen atom such as a chlorine atom, or a sulfur atom, instead of a nitrogen atom. In this case, the hole indicates the inside of a ring-like structure formed by carbon and one or more elements selected from a Group 16 element such as oxygen or sulfur, and halogen such as chlorine.
- Here, a graphene structure having a hole where a lithium ion passes, will be described with reference to
FIGS. 1A and 1B andFIG. 2 .FIGS. 1A and 1B schematically illustrate lattice structures of graphene.FIG. 1A shows a case where a lithium ion approaches a vacancy caused by extraction of one carbon atom from graphene.FIG. 1B shows a case where a lithium ion approaches vacancies caused as follows: two carbon atoms adjacent to each other are extracted from graphene, other two carbon atoms which are nearest neighbors to one of the above two carbon atoms are extracted and substituted with nitrogen atoms, and still other two carbon atoms which are neighbors to the other one of the above two carbon atoms are extracted and substituted with nitrogen atoms. -
FIG. 2 shows results of calculation of potential energy between a lithium ion and a vacancy in graphene inFIG. 1A andFIG. 1B , by first-principles calculation. InFIG. 2 , the horizontal axis indicates a distance (nm) from graphene, and the vertical axis indicates energy (eV). In addition, inFIG. 2 , a curve A represents potential of the vacancy in graphene ofFIG. 1A , and a curve B represents potential of the vacancy in graphene ofFIG. 1B . - In
FIG. 2 , the potential between the lithium ion and the vacancy in graphene, represented by the curve A, has a minimal energy when the distance between the vacancy in graphene and the lithium ion is around 0.2 nm. When the distance is further decreased. the energy reversely increases. When the distance between the vacancy in graphene and the lithium ion is 0 nm, the energy is 3 eV. Thus, the lithium ion needs 3 eV of energy to reach the vacancy in graphene. From this result, it is found that the structure ofFIG. 1A has difficulty in making the lithium ion pass through the vacancy in graphene. - On the other hand, the potential energy between the lithium ion and the vacancy in graphene, represented by the curve B, gradually decreases as the distance between the vacancy in graphenc and the lithium ion becomes decreased, which means generation of attraction force between the lithium ion and the vacancy (hole) in the graphene and disappearance of energy barrier. From this result, it is found that the structure of
FIG. 1B facilitates passing of the lithium ion through the hole. - Since graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon molecules having sp2 bonds, it is difficult for an ion of lithium or the like to pass through the graphene. However, graphene according to one embodiment of the present invention has a hole (path through which an ion passes); thus, an ion of lithium or the like can easily pass through the graphene. Further, even when a plurality of sheets of graphene are stacked, an ion can easily pass because the graphenc has a path for an ion passing. Further, as a preferable structure, a ring-like structure which has the hole therein is formed by carbon and nitrogen, so that an ion can easily pass through the structure.
- As an ion which passes through graphene, an alkali metal ion such as a lithium ion, a sodium ion, or potassium ion, an alkali earth metal ion such as a calcium ion, a strontium ion, or a barium ion, a beryllium ion, a magnesium ion, or the like can be given. A hole in the graphene preferably has such a size that the aforementioned ion can pass through the hole. Note that the hole in the graphene may form a many-membered ring which is a nine- or more-membered ring. Also, the graphene have may one or more holes.
- The silicon particles having been subjected to the above treatments are dispersed in an appropriate solvent (preferably a polar solvent such as water, chloroform, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), or N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP)) to obtain a slurry. A secondary battery can be manufactured using the slurry.

FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a structure of a coin-type secondary battery. As illustrated inFIG. 3 , the coin-type secondary battery includes anegative electrode 204, apositive electrode 232, aseparator 210, an electrolyte (not illustrated), ahousing 206, and ahousing 244. Besides, the coin-type secondary battery includes a ring-shapedinsulator 220, aspacer 240, and awasher 242. Thenegative electrode 204 and thepositive electrode 232 are provided so as to face each other, and theseparator 210 is provided therebetween. - The
negative electrode 204 includes a negative electrodeactive material layer 202 over a negative electrodecurrent collector 200. - For the negative electrode
current collector 200, a conductive material can be used, for example. Examples of the conductive material include aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and titanium (Ti). In addition, an alloy material including two or more of the above-mentioned conductive materials can be used as the negative electrodecurrent collector 200. Examples of the alloy material include an Al—Ni alloy and an Al—Cu alloy. The negative electrodecurrent collector 200 can have a foil shape, a plate shape. a net shape, or the like as appropriate. Further, the negative electrodecurrent collector 200 can be formed in such a manner that a conductive layer is formed over another formation substrate, and the conductive layer is separated from the formation substrate. - There is no particular limitation on the material for the negative electrode
active material layer 202 as long as it is a material with which metal can be dissolved/precipitated or a material into/from which metal ions can be inserted/extracted. For the negative electrode active material, a lithium metal, a carbon-based material, silicon, a silicon alloy, or tin can be used, for example. As the carbon-based material into/from which a lithium ion can be inserted/extracted, a fine graphite powder, a graphite fiber, or graphite can be used. The negative electrodeactive material layer 202 may be formed in such a manner that the above-described slurry alone or in combination with a binder is applied onto the negative electrodecurrent collector 200 and dried. - The
positive electrode 232 includes a positive electrodeactive material layer 230 on a positive electrodecurrent collector 228. Note that inFIG. 3 , thepositive electrode 232 is placed upside down. - As the positive electrode
current collector 228, a conductive material similar to that of the negative electrodecurrent collector 200 can be used. - For the positive electrode active material, a material including ions to serve as carriers and a transition metal can be used. for example. As the material including ions to serve as carriers and a transition metal, a material represented by a general formula AhMiPOj (h>0,i>0,j>0) can be used, for example. Here, A represents, for example, an alkaline metal such as lithium, sodium, or potassium; or an alkaline earth metal such as calcium, strontium, or barium; beryllium; or magnesium. M represents a transition metal such as iron, nickel, manganese, or cobalt, for example. Examples of the material represented by the general formula AhMiPOj (h>0,i>0,j>0) include lithium iron phosphate and sodium iron phosphate. The material represented by A and the material represented by M may be selected from one or more of each of the above materials.
- Alternatively, a material represented by a general formula AhMiPOj (h>0,i>0,j>0) can be used. Here, A represents, for example, an alkaline metal such as lithium, sodium, or potassium; or an alkaline earth metal such as calcium, strontium, or barium; beryllium; or magnesium. M indicates a transition metal such as iron, nickel, manganese, or cobalt. Examples of the material represented by the general formula AhMiPOj (h>0,i>0,j>0) include lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, and lithium nickelate. The material represented by A and the material represented by M may be selected from one or more of each of the above materials.
- In the case of a lithium-ion secondary battery, a material including lithium is preferably selected for the positive electrode active material. In other words, A in the above general formulae AhMiPOj (h>0,i>0,j>0) or AhMiPOj (h>0,i>0,j>0) is preferably lithium.
- A positive electrode
active material layer 230 may be formed in such manner that slurry in which the positive electrode active material particles are mixed together with a binder and a conduction auxiliary agent, is applied onto the positive electrodecurrent collector 228 and then dried. - The size of the active material particles is preferably 20 nm to 100 nm. Further, a carbohydrate such as glucose may be mixed at the time of baking of the positive electrode active material particles so that the positive electrode active material particles are coated with carbon. This treatment can improve the conductivity.
- Further, as slurry used for forming the positive electrode
active material layer 230, the graphene oxide may be mixed in addition to the positive electrode active material. Slurry including at least the positive electrode active material and the graphene oxide is applied onto the positive electrodecurrent collector 228, dried, and reduced, whereby the positive electrodeactive material layer 230 including the positive electrode active material and graphene can be formed. - For the electrolyte, electrolyte salt dissolved in the nonaqueous solvent may be used. As the nonaqueous solvent, a mixed solvent of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC). an ionic liquid including quaternary ammonium-based cations, or an ionic liquid including imidazolium-based cations can be used. The electrolyte salt may be electrolyte salt which includes ions serving as carriers and corresponds with the positive electrode
active material layer 230. For example, lithium chloride (LiCl), lithium fluoride (LiF), lithium perchlorate (LiClO4), lithium fluoroborate (LiBF4), LiAsF6, LiPF6, Li(CF3SO2)2N, and the like are preferably used, but the electrolyte salt is not limited thereto. - An insulator with pores (e.g., polypropylene) may be used for the
separator 210. Alternatively, a solid electrolyte which is permeable to lithium ions may be used. - The
housing 206, thehousing 244, thespacer 240, and thewasher 242 each of which is made of metal (e.g., stainless steel) are preferably used. Thehousing 206 and thehousing 244 have a function of electrically connecting thenegative electrode 204 and thepositive electrode 232 to the outside. - The
negative electrode 204, thepositive electrode 232, and theseparator 210 are soaked in the electrolyte. Then, as illustrated inFIG. 3 , thenegative electrode 204, theseparator 210, the ring-shapedinsulator 220, thepositive electrode 232, thespacer 240, thewasher 242, and thehousing 244 are stacked in this order with thehousing 206 positioned at the bottom. Thehousing 206 and thehousing 244 are subjected to pressure bonding. In such a manner, the coin-type secondary battery is manufactured. - Note that a method for manufacturing the lithium ion-secondary battery is described in
FIG. 3 . However, the power storage device of one embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. A capacitor is used as the power storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, a lithium ion capacitor or an electric double layer capacitor is used as the capacitor. - In the power storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention, graphene which has a hole and or a stack of such graphene is used for at least one of a positive electrode active material layer and a negative electrode active material layer. The hole formed in the graphene serves as a path through which an ion passes; thus, insertion or extraction of ions into/from an active material becomes easy. Accordingly, charging and discharging characteristics of the power storage display can be improved.
- Further, when graphene having a hole or a stack of such graphene is used for at least one of the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer, decomposition of the electrolyte on a surface of the active material layer does not easily occur, and thus a surface film which is deposited on the surface of the active material layer and inhibits insertion and extraction of ions can be made thin. With such a structure, ions are easily inserted or extracted into/from the active material; accordingly, charging and discharging characteristics of the power storage device can be improved.
- This embodiment can be implemented by being combined as appropriate with any of the other embodiments.
- In this embodiment, an example of forming graphene having a path through which an ion passes or a stack of such graphene on a surface of an active material layer including silicon formed over a current collector, will be described.
- First, graphene oxide is dispersed in a solvent such as water or NMP. The solvent is preferably a polar solvent. The concentration of graphene oxide may be 0.1 g to 10 g per liter.
- A current collector provided with an active material layer including silicon is immersed in this solution, taken out, and then dried.
- Further, a mixture of the graphene oxide and silicon particles is heated in an ammonia atmosphere. The temperature of the heat treatment may be higher than or equal to 150° C. and lower than or equal to a melting point of a conductive material used for the current collector. Through the above steps, graphene which has a hole or a stack of such graphene can be formed on a surface of the silicon active material layer.
- Note that after the graphene or the stack of such graphene is formed in the above manner, the same process may be repeated, so that a stack of graphene can be additionally formed. The process may be repeated three or more times. It is preferable that a stack of graphene be formed in such a manner because the strength of graphenc increases.
- In the case where a thick stack of graphene is formed at a time, the direction of the sp2 bonds in the graphene is disordered, and the strength of the stack of graphene is not proportional to the thickness. On the other hand, in the case where a stack of graphene is formed through a plurality of steps as described above, the sp2 bonds in the graphene are substantially parallel to a silicon surface and therefore the strength of the stack of graphene increases as the thickness increases.
- Since in the stack of graphene, each graphene has a hole, the stack structure does not inhibit transfer of lithium. Thus, an ion can be easily inserted or extracted into/from the active material. Accordingly, charging and discharging characteristics of the power storage device can be improved.
- This embodiment can be implemented by being combined as appropriate with any of the other embodiments.
- In this embodiment, another example of forming graphene having a path through which an ion passes or a stack of such graphene on a surface of a silicon active material layer formed over a current collector, will be described.
- As in
Embodiment 2, graphenc oxide is dispersed in a solvent such as water or NMP. The concentration of graphene oxide may be 0.1 g to 10 g per liter. - A current collector provided with a silicon active material layer is put in the solution in which the graphene oxide is dispersed, and this is used as a positive electrode. A conductor serving as a cathode is put in the solution, and an appropriate voltage (e.g., 5 V to 20 V) is applied between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. In the graphene oxide, part of an edge of a graphene sheet with a certain size is terminated by a carboxyl group (—COOH), and therefore, in a solution such as water, hydrogen ions are released from the carboxyl group and the graphene oxide itself is negatively charged and thus attracted to and deposited onto the positive electrode. Note that the voltage at this time is not necessarily constant. By measurement of the amount of electric charge flowing between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the thickness of a layer of graphene oxide deposited on the silicon active material layer can be estimated.
- When a graphene oxide with a necessary thickness is obtained, the current collector is taken out of the solution and dried.
- Further, a mixture of the graphene oxide and silicon particles is heated in an ammonia atmosphere. The temperature of the heat treatment may be higher than or equal to 150° C. and lower than equal to a melting point of a conductive material used for the current collector. Through the above steps, graphene which has a hole or a stack of such graphene can be formed on a surface of the silicon active material layer.
- Even when the silicon active material has projections and depressions, the graphene formed as described above has a substantially uniform thickness even at the projections and depressions. In the above manner, graphene having a path through which an ion passes or a stack of such graphene can be formed on a surface of the silicon active material layer. The thus formed graphene or stack of graphene has a hole as described above and accordingly are permeable to ions accordingly.
- Note that after the graphene or the stack of graphene is formed in the above manner, formation of graphene or a stack of graphene with the method described in this embodiment or
Embodiment 2 may be performed once or plural times. - This embodiment can be implemented by being combined as appropriate with any of the other embodiments.
- The power storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention can be used as a power supply of various electric devices which are driven by electric power.
