Definitions
- the present invention relates to PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) powder, a lithium secondary battery including PTC powder, and its manufacturing method, and more particularly to PTC powder especially suitable for a lithium secondary battery, a lithium secondary battery with safety against abnormal current or overcurrent by using the PTC powder, and its manufacturing method.
- PTC Physical Temperature Coefficient
- Japanese patent publication No. 2000-164206 suggests a method of disposing a conductive middle layer, which is changed into a high resistive element by overcharge, between a positive electrode current collector and an active material layer, but this method also has problems that processes and costs are increased.
- Japanese patent publication H10-64548 and H10-64549 suggest a method of adding a cooling material with cooling capacity over 30 J/g to an electrode plate, but it is revealed in an actual overcharge experiment that it is not competent enough for absorbing a large quantity of heat that is instantaneously generated.
- the present invention is designed in consideration of the above problems, and therefore it is an object of the invention to provide PTC powder included as a component of a lithium secondary battery and capable of breaking an electric current when temperature of the battery is raised up due to internal or external factors in order to prevent fire or explosion without causing deterioration of performance of the battery in a normal operation, a high-safety lithium secondary battery using the PTC powder, and its manufacturing method.
- the inventors developed a lithium secondary battery containing PTC powder into a positive or negative electrode of the lithium secondary battery, which includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode and electrolyte, separately from common conductive materials, and filed it with a patent application No. 2003-0070605 on October 10, 2003 in Korea.
- the inventors have subsequently studied PTC powder suitable for the lithium secondary bat tery over and over and then developed the present invention.
- the PTC powder is to be included in a positive electrode material layer or a negative electrode material layer of a lithium secondary battery including a positive electrode having a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode material layer, a negative electrode having a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode material layer, and electrolyte, and the PTC powder has a form of crystalline polymer powder in which a granular conductive filler is dispersed.
- the PTC powder has a specific resistance of 0.01 to 10 ⁇ -D and an average particle diameter corresponding to 5 to 90% of a thickness of the positive electrode material layer or the negative electrode material layer and includes the crystalline polymer to be 30 to 70 wt% thereof, and the crystalline polymer has a crosslink density of 1 to 70%, the degree of crystallinity of 10 to 80%, a melting temperature of 60 to 18O 0 C, and a heat of fusion of 20 J/g or above.
- a lithium secondary battery having the PTC powder with the above characteristics includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode and electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode includes a positive electrode current collector; and a positive electrode material layer formed on the positive electrode current collector and having a positive electrode active material capable of occluding and emitting lithium ions and a binding material for binding the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode active material, wherein the negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector; and a negative electrode material layer formed on the negative electrode current collector and having a negative electrode active material capable of occluding and emitting lithium ions and a binding material for binding the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material, and wherein at least one of the positive electrode material layer and the negative electrode material layer further includes the above PTC powder.
- the lithium secondary battery according to the present invention does not deteriorate performance of the battery by means of the conductive material with a very low electric resistance at a normal operation, but breaks an electric current by means of the PTC powder whose electric resistance is abruptly increased at a high temperature when the second battery malfunctions due to overcharging or the like, so the lithium secondary battery is free from any danger of firing or explosion.
- a method for manufacturing a lithium secondary battery according to the present invention may further include PTC powder with the above PTC characteristics, namely increasing an electric resistance along with the rise of temperature, during the process of preparing the positive electrode slurry or the negative electrode slurry.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view schematically showing a lithium secondary battery including PTC powder according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing how an electric resistance is changed depending on the increase of temperature of the PTC powder according to the embodiment of the present invention in comparison to that of PTC powder according to a comparative example. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
- the lithium secondary battery of this embodiment includes a positive electrode 100, a negative electrode 200, a separator 300, and electrolyte (not shown), in brief.
- a positive electrode material layer 120 including a positive electrode active material 10, a conductive material 20, PTC powder 30 and a binding material 40 is coated and compressed on a positive electrode current collector 110 made of a metal foil such as aluminum.
- the PTC powder 30 enhances safety of a lithium secondary battery, and it has a relatively good conductivity with a specific resistance of 0.01 to 10 ⁇ -D at a room temperature during a normal operation, and its electric resistance is abruptly increased when a temperature rises.
- the PTC powder 30 has an average particle diameter corresponding to 5
- ⁇ 90% of the thickness of the positive electrode material layer 120, and the average diameter of particles is preferably 0.05 to 200D.
- the particle size is too small, it is difficult to make the PTC powder and its price is increased.
- the particle size exceeds the above range, a surface flatness of the electrode or the separator is deteriorated when the electrode is coated and also when the positive electrode 100, the separator 300 and the negative electrode 200 are laminated, thereby probably causing a problem in performance of the battery.
- the particle size exceeding the above range may disturb uniform distribution of active material, thereby probably deteriorating performance of the battery.
- This PTC powder 30 is composed of powder of crystalline polymer 32 in which a granular conductive filler 31 is dispersed. At this time, the PTC powder includes the crystalline polymer 32 to be 30 to 70 wt% of the PTC powder 30.
- the PTC powder 30 includes the crystalline polymer 32 and the granular conductive filler 31 at a suitable ratio according to its usage. However, if the crystalline polymer 32 is included at a ratio below the above range, the proportion of the granular conductive filler 31 is increased, thereby causing a problem in manufacturing processes and performance. If the crystalline polymer 32 is included at a ratio above the above range, a resistance of the PTC powder 30 is excessively increased.
- the crystalline polymer 32 is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, epoxy resin and PVDF (poly vinyl difluoride), which have a crosslink density of 1 to 70% and the degree of crystallinity of 10 to 80%.
- the crosslink density and the degree of crystallinity are basic factors for determining features of the PTC powder. If the crosslink density and the degree of crystallinity are below the above range, NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) effects are generated at high temperature, contrarily to PTC, thereby causing a problem in safety and stability. If the crosslink density and the degree of crystallinity are over the above range, a problem may be caused in performance when the crystalline polymer and the conductive filler are mixed and when the PTC powder is acted.
- the crystalline polymer 32 preferably has a melting point of 60 to 180 0 C. This temperature is required for acting the PTC characteristics when the PTC powder 30 is applied to a lithium secondary battery. If the temperature is lower than the above range, the PTC powder 30 can be hardly applied to a lithium secondary battery. On the while, if the temperature is higher than the above range, a problem in safety is caused to the lithium secondary battery since an operation temperature is too high.
- the crystalline polymer 32 preferably has a heat of fusion of 20 J/g or above. If the heat of fusion is lower than the above range, it is not sufficient to absorb a great amount of heat, instantly generated when a problem occurs in the lithium secondary battery due to overcurrent or overcharging, so it is not suitable as a protective element.
- the granular conductive filler 31 may use conductive particles such as carbon black, carbon fiber, graphite flake or metal flake. Meanwhile, the granular conductive filler 31 has an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 10OD. If the particle size is too small, it is difficult to make the granular conductive filler 31 and its cost is increased. Meanwhile, the particle size is too great, it is difficult that the granular conductive filler 31 is uniformly dispersed in the crystalline polymer 32.
- the PTC powder is produced in a manner that a mixture of crystalline polymer, conductive filler and a small amount of additives is prepared and then crosslinked at a high temperature, and then the crosslinked mixture is made into a powder state with a regular particle size.
- the crystalline polymer 32 when making a mixture composed of the crystalline polymer 32, the conductive filler 31 and a small amount of additives, the crystalline polymer 32 is included to be 30 to 70 wt% of the entire PTC mixture.
- the mixed PTC material is made into a crosslinked state (or, a coupled state) to endow PTC characteristics and thermal safety at a high temperature thereto.
- the radiation crosslinking irradiating UV or electronic beams, the water crosslinking using heat and moisture, and the chemical crosslinking adding and reacting chemical material may be used.
- the crystalline polymer 32 is set to have a crosslink density of 1 to 70% and the degree of crystallinity of 10 to 80%. If the crosslink density is lower than 1%, the NTC phenomenon contrary to the PTC characteristic that increases a resistance at a high temperature is caused, so it is not suitable for acting as a safety element.
- the PTC mixture crosslinked as mentioned above is made into powder with a constant size by means of cold pulverization, cold ball milling, sol-gel and so on. At this time, the PTC powder is prepared to have an average particle diameter corresponding to 5 to 90% of the thickness of the positive electrode material layer.
- the positive electrode active material 10 is made of a material capable of occluding and emitting lithium ions during charging or discharging, and generally made of lithium-metal oxide such as LiCoO , LiMn O , LiMnO , LiNiO , LiNi Co O (0 ⁇ x ⁇
- the conductive material 20 is preferably made of carbon black, and other materials such as metal powder or flake may also be used if they have good conductivity. Meanwhile, the conductive material 20 does not have PTC characteristic, namely a characteristic that an electric resistance is increased as temperature rises, differently from the PTC powder described later. Thus, the conductive material 20 has very small size (e.g., 200 m or less) and very low electric resistance, for example in the order of 10 ( ⁇ -D), regardless of temperature.
- the binding material 40 is an element for binding the positive electrode active material 10 and the conductive material 20 of the positive electrode material layer 120 with each other, or binding them to the positive electrode current collector 110.
- the binding material 40 is made of a material such as PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride).
- the negative electrode 200 is formed by coating and compressing a negative electrode material layer 220 including a negative electrode active material and a binding material on a negative electrode current collector 210 made of a metal foil such as copper, similar to the positive electrode 100.
- the negative electrode active material is made of lithium metal or carbon material, which is capable of occluding and emitting lithium ions, and the carbon material is somewhat advantageous in preventing formation of dendrite.
- the binding material may use PVDF, identically to the binding material of the positive electrode material layer 120.
- the separator 300 is a film interposed between the positive electrode 100 and the negative electrode 200 in order to prevent a direct contact between them, which causes a short circuit.
- the separator 300 is made by one layer of polymer film such as polyethylene or polypropylene, or many layers of polymer films laminated with each other.
- a unit cell composed of the positive electrode, the separator and the negative electrode, or a cell in which such unit cells are laminated with the separator interposed therebetween, is sealed by a package (not shown), and electrolyte (not shown) is injected in the sealed package to form a secondary battery.
- the electrolyte is an element for mediating movement of materials so that oxidation and deoxidation reactions occurring in the positive electrode 100 and the negative electrode 200 are harmonized.
- the electrolyte includes organic electrolyte or solid polymer electrolyte that contains lithium salt.
- LiPF 6 is ad- vantageous to prevent formation of dendrite.
- the PTC powder 30 is made by dispersing the conductive filler 31 into the crystalline polymer 32, the crystals start being melted as the temperature rises beyond a melting point, thereby abruptly increasing the electric resistance.
- the conductive filler 31 with a very low electric resistance ensures flow of the electric current, so adding the PTC powder does not deteriorate performance of the battery in the normal operation.
- the PTC powder 30 may also be included in the negative electrode 200 instead of the positive electrode 100, or in both of the positive electrode 100 and the negative electrode 200, of course.
- the active material is coated only on one surface of the positive electrode current collector 110 and the negative electrode current collector 210, the active material may be coated on both surfaces thereof, if necessary.
- the positive electrode 100 is formed as follows.
- An aluminum foil is prepared as a positive electrode current collector 110, and a positive electrode material layer 120 is formed thereon.
- the positive electrode material layer 120 the positive electrode active material 10, the conductive material 20, the PTC powder 30 and the binding material 40, which are made of substances already mentioned above, are dispersed and mixed in an organic solvent (e.g., NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone)) to make positive electrode slurry.
- NMP N-methylpyrrolidone
- the PTC powder 30 is prepared by dispersing the conductive filler 31 such as carbon black, carbon fiber, graphite flake or metal flake into the crystalline polymer 32 such as polyethylene, and then crosslinking, curing and pulverizing them.
- the conductive filler 31 such as carbon black, carbon fiber, graphite flake or metal flake
- the crystalline polymer 32 such as polyethylene
- the negative electrode 200 is also made by coating, drying and compressing negative electrode slurry, which is prepared by dispersing the negative electrode active material (not shown) and the binding material (not shown) in an organic solvent, on the negative electrode current collector 210 made of copper foil, similarly to the positive electrode 100.
- the positive electrode 100 and the negative electrode 200 are laminated with the separator 300 being interposed therebetween.
- the separator 300 is adhered to the positive electrode 100 and the negative electrode 200 by means of adhesive, and this laminating process may be repeated several times to make a battery with larger capacity.
- the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the separator that are laminated as above are put into a package, which may have various shapes such as a coin shape, a cylindrical shape and a pack shape, and electrolyte is injected into the package. The package is then sealed to make an end cell of a lithium secondary battery with a desired shape.
- the PTC powder may be contained in the negative electrode as well as in the positive electrode. In this case, what is needed is just adding PTC powder into the negative electrode slurry while the negative electrode slurry is prepared.
- the PTC material had a crosslink density of 23%.
- the crosslink density is a value measured by the standard measurement method of ASTM (America Society for Testing and Materials) for the crosslink density, which is internationally used, namely according to ASTM D2765.
- ASTM America Society for Testing and Materials
- the crosslinked PTC material was cold-pulverized for 25 minutes by a ball mill under a liquid nitrogen environment into the form of PTC powder.
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing how an electric resistance of the PTC powder according to the embodiment 1 and the comparative example 1 is changed according to the rise of temperature.
- an electric resistance is abruptly increased in the temperature range of 100 to 11O 0 C that is a melting point of the crystalline polymer, and the electric resistance is not decreased but increased even in the temperature range of 110 to 15O 0 C beyond the melting point.
- an electric resistance is abruptly changed in the temperature range of 100 to 11O 0 C identical to the case of the embodiment 1, but the electric resistance is decreased beyond the melting point, which is NTC characteristics.
- Positive electrode active material (LiCoO ), conductive material (carbon black), binding material (PVDF) and the PTC powder prepared according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention with a particle size of 10 to 5OD, namely with a particle diameter corresponding to 12.5 to 62.5% of the thickness of the positive electrode material layer were dispersed and mixed in NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) at the ratio of 92:3:3:2 by weight to make positive electrode slurry.
- NMP N-methylpyrrolidone
- Positive electrode active material (LiCoO ), conductive material (carbon black), binding material (PVDF) and the PTC powder having a particle size of 100 to 200D, namely having a particle diameter corresponding to 125 to 250% of the thickness of the positive electrode material layer were dispersed and mixed in NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) at the ratio of 92:3:3:2 by weight to make positive electrode slurry.
- NMP N-methylpyrrolidone
- Lithium secondary batteries were manufactured using the positive electrodes prepared according to the embodiment 2 and the comparative example 2, as mentioned above.
- the surface of the positive electrode was roughly coated since the PTC powder had too great particle size, and the roughly coated area fractured the separator and thus caused an internal short circuit.
- the PTC powder according to the present invention as described above has characteristics especially suitable for a lithium secondary battery, and it is included in at least one of a positive electrode and a negative electrode and increases a resistance abruptly to block an electric current when the battery is fractured due to overcharging or the like, thereby preventing a further increase of temperature and generation of firing or explosion.
