- LiCoO with R-3m structure used as positive electrode active material 2 Or LiNiO 2
- oxygen, lithium, and a transition metal form an interlayer structure, and part of the lithium layer is removed and inserted to be used as an electrode material of a rocking chair type of a lithium secondary battery.
- the R-3m structure refers to a structure in which lithium and oxygen, transition metal elements, and oxygen are alternately formed in a layered form.
- LiNbO 2 The structure is shown in FIG. LiNbO 2 In the case where more than one mole of lithium is inserted into the structure, a reversible change to the structure as shown in FIG. 2 is observed. 2 Has also been reported). LiNbO 2 Reversible insertion and desorption of lithium as shown in Figs. Can be observed.
- Nb metal ions (substituted with Li and the second metal) are present between oxygen ions having a hexagonal closed packing, that is, at an octahedral site of oxygen ions, and Li ions. Is a single layer below it.
- Li ions are present in a double layer below the octahedral site of oxygen.
- the structure of Li 2 NbO 2 includes an Nb metal ion layer (substituted with Li and the second metal), an oxygen ion layer in the next layer, and a Li layer in a double layer as shown in FIG. The oxygen layer is present in the layer, and the next layer is converted into a structure in which an Nb metal ion layer (substituted with Li and the second metal) is present.
- part of the Nb layer is replaced with another metal and Li to increase the lattice constant, that is, the distance between the a axes. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1, the lithium layer is widened, and thus the insertion / desorption of lithium is facilitated in the crystal structure in which lithium is inserted. As such, the insertion / desorption of lithium is easy, that is, the lithium diffusion rate increases during charging and discharging, thereby improving life and high rate characteristics.
- the compound of Formula 1 having an optimal composition is used as a negative electrode active material for a lithium secondary battery by using the above-described change in lattice structure, so that smooth removal and insertion of lithium occurs at low potential.
- the compound of Formula 1 has an average oxidation number of the metal Nb is in the range of +3 to +5, more preferably in the range of +3 to +4, that is, the redox reaction occurs in the range of +3 to +5, so oxidation
- the reduction potential is 1 V or less relative to lithium metal, and more preferably 0.01 to 1 V.
- the oxidation number of the vanadium oxide used as a conventional anode material is mainly +3 to +4, +4 to +5, since the initial redox potential is 2V or more compared to lithium metal, it is oxidized at a very low potential. The reduction reaction is possible. Therefore, when the compound of Formula 1 is used as the negative electrode active material, it can be expected to exhibit a high battery discharge voltage.
- the distance ratio (c / a axis ratio) between crystal axes before the insertion of lithium ions (R-3m) is 2.5 to 6.5, preferably 3.0 to 6.2.
- the distance ratio (c / a axis ratio) between the crystal axes before the lithium insertion is out of the above range, the insertion and desorption of lithium ions is structurally difficult, and the insertion / desorption potential of lithium ions is also increased to 0.6 V or more, and oxygen is an anion.

- the negative electrode active material of the present invention has a distance ratio between the crystal axes after insertion of lithium ions (P-3m1) of 0.3 to 3.0, preferably 1.0 to 3.0. If the distance ratio between the crystal axes is less than 0.3, the change of the lattice due to the inserted Li is small, making it difficult to diffuse Li into the lattice, and when it exceeds 3.0, it becomes difficult to maintain the crystal structure.
- the negative electrode active material of the present invention changes the lattice volume to 30% or less, preferably more than 0% and 27% or less by insertion / desorption of lithium ions. If the crystal lattice volume is greater than 30%, the pole plate crack phenomenon occurs due to the volume change, which causes short circuit of the conduction path, separation from the pole plate of the active material itself, and coagulation with surrounding particles. There is a problem that battery characteristics such as increase, capacity decrease and deterioration of life are significantly reduced.
- the negative electrode active material of the present invention is capable of constant current / constant voltage charging.
- the conventional carbon (graphite) active material exhibits a capacity by performing constant current and constant voltage charging, but in the case of a metal or metal / graphite composite, which is a high capacity active material, which is being studied recently, the metal is a mechanism of intercalation and desorption of graphite and lithium. If the constant voltage is used due to different), deterioration due to the collapse of the structure due to lithium insertion or deposition into the surface rather than spreading inside the crystal structure causes serious problems in reversibility and safety.
- the conventional metal or the metal / graphite composite anode active material could not be used in a battery since it could not be charged in a constant voltage under the same conditions as the conventional graphite as the anode active material, whereas the new anode active material of the present invention was almost impossible. It can be seen that the battery can be usefully used as a constant current / constant voltage charging.
