- Examples 12 to 20 and Comparative Examples 4 to 5 were pre-discharged for 30 minutes at a constant current of 4 mA. Next, aging was performed at 60 ° C. for 1 day to stabilize the open circuit voltage (OCV) of the battery. After that, the OCV and the impedance at 1 kHz were measured at room temperature for each battery, and it was confirmed that no abnormality was observed in each battery.
- OCV open circuit voltage
- the batteries of Examples 12A to 18A and Comparative Example 4A were stored for 10 days at 80 ° C. after aging.
- the batteries of Examples 19A and 20A and Comparative Example 5A were discharged (50 mAh) for 500 hours at a constant current of 0.1 mA and then stored at 80 ° C. for 10 days.
- the reason for partially discharging the batteries of Examples 19A, 20A and Comparative Example 5A is:
- Example 12A On the other hand, from the comparison of Example 12A with Comparative Example 4A using artificial graphite which is a crystalline carbon material, the improvement effect of the pulse discharge characteristics at 40 ° C. becomes remarkable by using the amorphous carbon material.
- the reductive decomposition reaction of the electrolyte at the interface between the crystalline carbon material and the electrolyte is larger than that at the interface between the amorphous carbon material and the electrolyte, and the reaction resistance of the interface by the decomposition product Is considered to be due to an increase in
- Example 18A in which the thickness of the surface layer portion in which the content of acetylene black in the surface layer portion is as large as 10% by weight exceeds 1Z2 of the whole negative electrode, the initial discharge capacity becomes less than the design capacity, and the energy density of the battery decreases An improvement effect was seen in the pulse discharge characteristics at a force of 40 ° C.
- the decrease in initial discharge capacity is considered to be due to the large amount of acetylene black. That is, it is considered that the reductive decomposition reaction of the electrolytic solution at the interface between the acetylene black and the electrolytic solution is increased, and the reaction resistance at the interface is increased. Therefore, in order to improve the low temperature discharge characteristics, it is preferable to set the content of the amorphous carbon material in the surface layer to 5% by weight or less and to set the thickness of the surface layer to 1Z3 or less of the entire negative electrode.
- Example 17A in which the lithium metal / carbon black composite was used in a dry nitrogen atmosphere, the initial capacity was smaller than that of lOl mAh, that of Comparative Example 1A.
- the pulse discharge characteristic at 40 ° C. of Example 17A is 2.245 V, and the improvement effect is smaller than in Examples 12A to 15A in which the complexing was performed in an argon atmosphere or under a vacuum of 100 Pa or less. This is because the molten lithium and nitrogen react with each other in the process of compounding to form lithium nitride (Li N).
- Li N is used to remove traces of dry air and
- Example 12A, 13A and 15A in which the average particle diameter of primary particles of the amorphous carbon material is 0.1 ⁇ m or less and the BET specific surface area is 20 m 2 / g or more, the initial discharge capacity decreases.
- the lowest voltage of the 40 ° C pulse discharge was about 2.3V. That is, in Examples 12A, 13A, and 15A, the minimum voltage of -40 ° C. pulse discharge was about 2.3 V, and the effect of improving the voltage drop at the initial stage of discharge was strong.
- the initial discharge capacity was almost the same as that of Comparative Example 5A.
- the pulse discharge voltage at 40 ° C. was 2.34 V or higher, and about 0.4 was also improved compared to 2.25 V of Comparative Example 5A.
- the positive electrode active material is MnO 2
- the electrolytic solution is also different, so the interfacial reaction between the negative electrode and the electrolytic solution or the low temperature discharge
- the effect of the present invention is to reduce the reaction resistance of the negative electrode and to improve the discharge voltage at low temperature discharge by controlling the interfacial reaction between the negative electrode and the electrolytic solution. Therefore, as long as a solid positive electrode active material is used, the effects of the present invention do not differ greatly, and it is considered that similar effects can be obtained even if various oxides and fluorides are used.
- Comparative Example 1A decreased to 1.92 V, whereas in Examples 12A to 18A and Comparative Example 4A, all were 2 V or higher, and the high temperature was high.
- the effect of improving the low temperature discharge characteristics after storage was obtained.
- a high discharge voltage of 2. IV or more was obtained.
- the discharge voltage is about 2.25 V. The effect of improving the discharge characteristics is remarkable
- the interfacial reaction between the negative electrode and the electrolytic solution is controlled by using the negative electrode complexed with the amorphous carbon material according to the present invention, and the reaction resistance of the negative electrode It can be seen that the effect of suppressing the increase of the high temperature can be obtained and the high temperature storage characteristics can be greatly improved.
- the negative electrode composited with carbon material V was used, and the batteries of the example and the comparative example were compared by using a negative electrode which had V and a single lithium force.
- the arc was smaller than the batteries of Examples 4A and 5A. It is considered that this is because the reaction resistance at the interface between the negative electrode and the electrolytic solution is reduced.
- the correlation between the reaction resistance value estimated from the diameter of the reaction arc obtained by the Cole-Cole plot and the lowest voltage in the pulse discharge at 40 ° C is poor.
- the result of the AC impedance measurement Improvement of the power discharge characteristics I could not estimate the effect.
- the correlation between the results of the AC impedance and the discharge characteristics of the battery after storage at 80 ° C also showed the same tendency.

From this, it is understood that the specific surface area of the fine particles, which is equal to only the particle size of the fine particles, is a major factor for the improvement of the discharge characteristics. This is consistent with the idea that the property improvement action depends on the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte and the protective layer formed on the negative electrode surface by the reaction product.

Since the battery after storage of Example 7B was slightly swollen, the decomposition reaction of the electrolytic solution proceeded to generate a relatively large amount of gas by storage at high temperature, and the deterioration was large as described above. Conceivable. Therefore, from the viewpoint of improving the stability at high temperatures,
- Comparative Example 2B the capacity after high temperature storage was reduced to 94 mAh, and the capacity deterioration due to high temperature storage was larger than that of Comparative Example 1B. Since the discharge capacity before storage was a little small at 108 mAh, it is considered that the presence of large particles between the positive and negative electrodes caused the discharge reaction to be uneven and the capacity to decrease.
