Definitions

- EV electric vehicles
- HEV hybrid electric vehicles
- a module battery is usually constructed by connecting several to 10 single cells in series, and a plurality of module batteries are combined to form an overall battery system. Is building. Since battery input / output control is normally performed in module battery units, a voltage of several tens of volts is applied to the module battery. However, if there are defective cells in the module battery, From the extreme overcharged state in which a voltage of several tens of volts of the entire module battery is applied to one single cell, a situation from short circuit to explosion is assumed. The most effective way to prevent this situation is to individually monitor and control a single cell, but it is not a practical method due to the complexity and cost of control, and it is resistant to overcharged conditions. There is a strong demand for such a material system.

- a compound having an oxidation potential equal to or higher than the upper limit voltage value of the battery is added to the electrolyte as an overcharge inhibitor, and when the overcharged state is reached, the compound is oxidized and polymerized to increase the active material surface.
- the overcharge current is suppressed by forming a resistance film to stop the progress of overcharge.
- many of the compounds used as overcharge inhibitors are electrochemically and chemically active for that purpose, and when added in large amounts in the electrolyte, they can react even under normal battery usage conditions.

- the antistatic agent generally performs antistatic using ions released by adsorbing moisture in the air, and basically non-aqueous electrolysis that eliminates moisture. In a liquid secondary battery, the effect cannot be exhibited. That is, even if the separator obtained by this method is used for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, it does not function as a separator having conductivity on the surface.
- an alkali metal is a highly reactive metal, and easily reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air. Therefore, such a metal powder layer is formed on the separator surface. Forming has a big problem on safety. Even in Patent Document 3, a problem regarding safety is pointed out, and as a means for solving the problem, an alkali metal polymer coating or the like is mentioned, but if the polymer coating is performed, the conductivity of the metal is inhibited, A conductive separator cannot be formed on the surface.
- the technique disclosed in Patent Document 4 is that the separator is non-conductive because the distance between the conductive fillers in the separator is sufficiently large under the conditions in which a battery is normally used. The heat shrinks and the conductive fillers come into contact with each other to form a conductive path (shutdown effect), and the remaining capacity of the battery is quickly discharged to make it safe. That is, the separator of Patent Document 4 does not have conductivity as a whole as well as the surface when a normal battery is used.
- Patent Document 5 in order to increase the thermal conductivity of the separator, it is necessary for these particles to form percolation with each other. For this reason, Patent Document 5 describes the necessity of adding a large amount of filler, In general, a polymer film containing a large amount of a filler tends to be fragile due to reduced flexibility. On the other hand, as is well known, the active material of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, in particular, the negative electrode active material expands in volume due to occlusion of lithium, and thus a large pressure is applied to the separator.
- Patent Document 7 when a conductive film is formed on one surface of a separator and a paste mainly composed of an active material is applied thereon as a current collector, the paste solvent is applied to the separator. Since it permeates, the binder resin dissolved in the solvent also permeates the separator and closes the micropores of the separator, thereby degrading the battery performance. Further, when a non-woven fabric or a woven fabric is used as the substrate instead of the microporous film, there is a risk that the active material penetrates the substrate and penetrates in the thickness direction.
- Non-Patent Document 1 a normal electrode is applied and dried and then compressed by a roll press to make the thickness uniform, smooth the surface, and prevent peeling from the current collector.
- it is difficult to perform pressing because there is a risk of deformation of the separator, crushing of fine holes, or breakage of the separator by an active material. There is a problem that the yield is lowered as described in.
- the lithium transition metal composite oxide used as the positive electrode active material has high electrical resistance.
- Patent Document 9 in order to sufficiently absorb the oxygen gas generated from the positive electrode, it is necessary to coat with a metal in the same amount as the positive electrode active material, and the metal oxidation reaction generally generates heat. Since this is a reaction, there is a problem in that there is a high risk of heat shrinkage or meltdown of the separator. In Patent Document 9, this problem is avoided by taking a relatively low charging speed of 1.5 to 2.5 C. However, it cannot sufficiently cope with a higher discharging speed. . In the technology disclosed in Patent Document 9, when the safety is taken into consideration, the thickness of the metal coating layer is important as described above, but there is no description about these, and the safety improvement of the battery is insufficient.

本発明の非水系電解液二次電池用セパレータ(以下「本発明のセパレータ」と称す場合がある。)は、

本発明のセパレータは、例えば、通常の非水系電解液二次電池で用いられるセパレータや、従来公知の方法で得られる多孔質フィルムや不織布を基材とし、この基材の少なくとも一方の表面に導電層を形成する、或いは、導電層を基材で挟み込むことにより製造することができ、この基材の構成材料や製法には特に制限はない。

<導電材>
本発明に係る導電層を構成する材料(以下、「導電材」と称す場合がある。)としては、導電性を有するものであれば良く、特に制限はないが、例えば、金属、炭素質材料を用いることができる。
即ち、導電層が正極に対向する場合、導電層は高電位に曝されるため、酸化電位の高い金や白金又はその合金類が好ましく使用される。また、陽極酸化により不働態皮膜を生じるバルブ金属も好適に使うことができる。バルブ金属の例としてはアルミニウムやタングステン、モリブデン、チタン、タンタルなどが挙げられる。また、酸化クロムの皮膜を持つステンレス鋼も好適に用いることができる。
導電層の形成方法は特に制限されず公知の方法が用いられる。
一例を挙げれば、スパッタリングやイオンプレーティング、真空蒸着等の方法で前述の基材の少なくとも一方の表面に導電層を形成する方法が挙げられる。また、他の例としては、導電材をバインダー等と共に溶媒中に混合したスラリーを調製し、このスラリーをドクターブレード又はロールコータ、ダイコータ、その他ディッピングやスプレー法等などの公知の手法で基材の少なくとも一方の表面に塗布、乾燥して導電層を形成する方法が挙げられる。
導電層の厚みは、5μm未満であり、下限値としては好ましくは0.001μm以上、より好ましくは0.003μm以上、更に好ましくは0.005μm以上である。導電層の厚みが上記下限値以上であると耐過充電性の改善効果がより十分に発揮される。一方で導電層の厚みが5μm以上だと、導電層部分の通気抵抗、ひいてはイオン透過抵抗が大きくなりすぎて出力等の電池性能が低下する。
導電層が金属材料からなる場合、導電層の厚みは、好ましくは0.001乃至1μm、より好ましくは0.003乃至0.5μm、更に好ましくは0.005乃至0.3μm、特に好ましくは0.005乃至0.1μmである。導電層の厚みが上記下限値以上であると耐過充電性の改善効果がより十分に発揮される。導電層の厚みが5μm以上だと、前述のように過充電によって発生する酸素の吸収による発熱が大きくセパレータの熱収縮やメルトダウン等が生じる危険性が高いので好ましくない。
セパレータの両表面に導電層を形成する場合は、セパレータ全体の厚みを抑える上でも、両表面の導電層の合計の厚みは10μm未満である。また、導電層が炭素質材料を用いる場合は、好ましくは0.002μm以上、より好ましくは0.01μm以上である。また導電層が金属材料よりなる場合については、好ましくは0.002乃至1μmであり、より好ましくは0.01乃至0.6μmであり、さらに好ましくは0.01乃至0.2μmである。
またセパレータの両表面に導電層を形成する場合、セパレータの両表面で、形成された導電層の厚みや用いた導電材が異なるものであっても、同一であってもよく、例えば、前述の如く、セパレータの一方の表面には、負極対向面側として好適な金属を用い、セパレータの他方の表面には、正極対向面側として好適な金属を用いるようにしてもよい。
本発明のセパレータは、
(1)見掛け体積抵抗率が1×10-4Ω・cm乃至1×106Ω・cm、または(2)体積抵抗率が1×10-6Ω・cm乃至1×106Ω・cm、または(3)表面電気抵抗が1×10-2Ω乃至1×109Ω、の導電層を有するものである。
そして、
(1)導電層の見掛け体積抵抗率は、1×10―4Ω・cm乃至1×106Ω・cmであり、好ましくは1×10-4乃至1×105Ω・cm、より好ましくは1×10-4乃至1×104Ω・cmである。
(2)導電層の体積抵抗率は、1×10-6Ω・cm乃至1×106Ω・cmであり、好ましくは1×10-3乃至1×103Ω・cm、より好ましくは1×10-2乃至1×102Ω・cmである。
ここで、体積抵抗率とは導電層を形成する材料固有の値である。そして、導電層はリチウムイオン等のイオンの透過経路が必要なことから多孔質であるため、その空隙の影響や導電性材料同士の接触抵抗などの影響により、導電性材料が本来持つ体積抵抗率よりも見掛け体積抵抗率は高い値を有する。
導電層の見掛け体積抵抗率ないしは体積抵抗率が上記上限を超えると、その理由の詳細は不明であるが、本発明による充分な耐過充電性改善効果を得ることが難しい。見掛け体積抵抗率ないしは体積抵抗率が上記下限未満では、導電層による通気抵抗が高くなり、リチウムイオンの移動経路としてのセパレータの特性を損なうことがある。また見掛け体積抵抗率ないしは体積抵抗率が上記下限未満では、導電層が集電体として働く場合がありジュール発熱によりセパレータが熱劣化を生じる恐れがある。
また導電層の表面抵抗率としては、好ましくは4×10-2乃至1×109Ω/□であり、より好ましくは1×10-1乃至1×108Ω/□、更に好ましくは1乃至1×107Ω/□である。
導電層の表面電気抵抗が上記上限を超えると、その理由の詳細は不明であるが、本発明による充分な耐過充電性改善効果を得ることが難しい。表面電気抵抗が上記下限未満では、導電層による通気抵抗が高くなり、リチウムイオンの移動経路としてのセパレータの特性を損なうことがある。また表面電気抵抗が上記下限未満では、導電層が集電体として働く場合がありジュール発熱によりセパレータが熱劣化を生じる恐れがある。
表面電気抵抗は、ダイアインスツルメンツ社(現三菱化学アナリテック社)製の測定装置ロレスターEPおよびハイレスターUPにより測定できる。
表面抵抗率は、上記表面電気抵抗と三菱化学アナリテック社が公開するプローブごとの補正係数を用いて下記式により算出できる。
表面抵抗率=表面電気抵抗×補正係数
見掛けの体積抵抗率は下記式により算出できる。
見掛けの体積抵抗率=表面抵抗率×導電層の厚み
尚、体積抵抗率とは導電層を形成する材料固有の値であり、例えば、「化学便覧 基礎編 改定5版 II-611ページ 表14.9、丸善株式会社 発行、発行日 平成16年2月20日」に基づき導かれる。ただし、アセチレンブラックに関しては電気化学工業株式会社のホームページの物性一覧より体積抵抗率の値を得た。
本発明に係る導電層は、上述のように、セパレータの少なくとも一方の表面に形成されてもよく、基材で挟み込み中間層として形成されてもよい。そして、前述の特許文献2~5に記載されるような従来のセパレータへの導電性付与技術に対して、以下のように明確に区別され、その特徴的な構成により優れた耐過充電性が得られる。
これに対して、本発明のセパレータに形成される導電層は、例えば金属や炭素質材料からなり、水分が排除された非水系電解液二次電池の環境下においても充分に導電性を発揮するものである。
本発明に係る導電層は、セパレータの表面または中間層に存在するため、通常の電池使用時における正負両極の短絡は生じることはなく、必要に応じて充分な導電性を付与しうる。
本発明のセパレータの多孔性の程度としての空隙率は、通常30乃至90%、好ましくは35乃至80%、より好ましくは38乃至70%である。セパレータの空隙率が上記下限以上であれば、電気抵抗が高くなりすぎず出力などの電池性能が低下するおそれがなく好ましい。空隙率が上記上限以下であれば、機械的強度が高く、高速捲回時の破断、または充放電時の活物質の膨張・収縮による内部短絡を生じるおそれがなく好ましい。
即ち、まずセパレータの厚み(導電層を含めた総厚み)をt0、単位面積あたりの重量(導電層を含めた総重量)をw0、平均比重をρとすると、セパレータの空隙率Pvは次式で得ることができる。
Pv(%)=100×{1-(w0/[ρ・t0])}
(但し、サンプル面積は単位面積。)
なお、平均比重ρは、多孔質フィルム等の基材と導電層の成分の比重および単位面積当たり重量比をそれぞれρi、kiとして、
ρ=1/(Σki/ρi)
で得ることができる。重量比は導電層形成前後の重量を測定することで得ることができる。
本発明のセパレータの厚さ(導電層を含めた総厚み)は、通常5乃至50μm、好ましくは9乃至35μm、より好ましくは15乃至30μmである。セパレータの厚みが上記下限以上であれば、機械的強度が得られ、高速捲回時の破断、あるいは充放電時の活物質の膨張・収縮による内部短絡を生じるおそれがなく好ましい。セパレータの厚みが上記上限以下であれば、電気抵抗が高くなりすぎず、出力などの電池性能が低下するおそれがないため好ましい。
本発明のセパレータの突き刺し強度(導電層を含めたセパレータの突き刺し強度)は通常250g以上、好ましくは300g以上、より好ましくは350g以上である。突き刺し強度が250g以上であれば過充電時の活物質の膨張による圧力に対抗でき、内部短絡を起こる可能性が低いため好ましい。突き刺し強度の好ましい上限は特に存在せず、電気抵抗などのセパレータとしての特性が電池性能から要求される性能を満たしていればいくら大きくても構わないが、通常は800g以下である。
なお、本発明におけるセパレータの突き刺し強度とは、以下に記述する方法で測定された強度を意味する。
ホルダーで固定したサンプル(測定部:直径20mmの円形)に、直径1mm、先端曲率半径0.5mmの金属(SUS440C)製針を厚さ方向に300mm/minの速さで突き刺して、穴が開口する最大荷重を測定する。
本発明のセパレータの基材として用いられる従来公知の方法で得られる多孔質フィルムや不織布のガーレー透気度は10秒/100ccないし800秒/100cc、好ましくは50秒/100ccないし600秒/100cc、より好ましくは100秒/100ccないし400秒/100ccである。多孔質基材に導電層を形成した場合、導電層が通気抵抗となって通気性が低下する場合があるが、多孔質基材の透気度はイオン透過抵抗と密接に関わるため通気性の低下は10%以内が好ましい。すなわち多孔質基材に導電層を形成した場合のガーレー透気度の増加率は10%以内が好ましい。なおガーレー透気度はJISP8117に準じてB型ガーレーデンソーメーター(東洋精機製作所製)を使用して測定を行った。
本発明のセパレータはその基材として、メルトダウン温度が170℃以上であれば従来公知の方法で得られる多孔質フィルムや不織布などを適宜用いることができ、この基材の構成材料や製法には特に制限はなく、この基材に導電層を形成することにより製造することができる。
また基材のメルトダウン温度が170℃未満であってもその少なくとも1つの面に耐熱層を設けることによりセパレータ全体としてメルトダウン温度が170℃以上になるようにしてもよい。耐熱層は樹脂のような有機材料、無機フィラーのような無機材料の何れから構成されてもよく、両者を併用してもよい。
本発明のセパレータに170℃以上のメルトダウン温度を付与する方法の例としては上記の公知の方法で得られたセパレータ基材に耐熱多孔層を形成する方法が挙げられる。耐熱多孔層は少なくとも基材の一方の表面上に形成する必要があり、耐熱層の両表面に基材がきてもよく、基材の両表面に耐熱層が形成されてもよいが、耐熱層を基材の両表面に形成することがより好ましい。耐熱層は、耐熱性を有する無機または有機フィラーまたは耐熱性を有する無機または有機ファイバーから形成されていてもよいし、耐熱性樹脂より形成されてもよい。これらは単独で用いてもよく2種類以上の材料を適宜選択して使用してもよい。
あるいは電界紡糸法(エレクトロスピニング)を用いて耐熱層を形成してもよく、多層成形などの手法を用いて耐熱層を形成することもできる。
耐熱性を有する有機ファイバーとしてはセルロースファイバー、あるいは前述の耐熱性樹脂よりなるファイバーを好適に用いることができる。
耐熱層を形成する樹脂は前述の耐熱性樹脂を好適に用いることができる。溶剤可溶性の樹脂は樹脂溶液を作成して塗布することで耐熱層を形成することができる。溶剤難溶性の樹脂は熱可塑性樹脂であれば多層成形などの手法を用いて耐熱層を形成することができる。
本発明の非水系電解液二次電池は、リチウムを吸蔵・放出することが可能な正極及び負極と、セパレータと、非水系溶媒に電解質を溶解してなる非水系電解液とを備える非水系電解液二次電池において、該セパレータが、上記本発明の非水系電解液二次電池用セパレータであることを特徴とする。
<非水系溶媒>
本発明の非水系電解液二次電池に使用される電解液の非水系溶媒としては、非水系電解液二次電池の溶媒として公知の任意のものを用いることができる。例えば、エチレンカーボネート、プロピレンカーボネート、ブチレンカーボネート等のアルキレンカーボネート;ジメチルカーボネート、ジエチルカーボネート、ジ-n-プロピルカーボネート、エチルメチルカーボネート等のジアルキルカーボネート(ジアルキルカーボネートのアルキル基は、炭素数1~4のアルキル基が好ましい);テトラヒドロフラン、2-メチルテトラヒドロフラン等の環状エーテル;ジメトキシエタン、ジメトキシメタン等の鎖状エーテル;γ-ブチロラクトン、γ-バレロラクトン等の環状カルボン酸エステル;酢酸メチル、プロピオン酸メチル、プロピオン酸エチル等の鎖状カルボン酸エステルなどが挙げられる。これらは1種を単独で用いてもよく、2種類以上を併用してもよい。
非水系電解液の溶質である電解質としては、通常リチウム塩が用いられる。このリチウム塩としては、任意のものを用いることができ、例えば、LiClO4、LiPF6、LiBF4等の無機リチウム塩;LiCF3SO3、LiN(CF3SO2)2、LiN(C2F5SO2)2、LiN(CF3SO2)(C4F9SO2)、LiC(CF3SO2)3、LiPF4(CF3)2、LiPF4(C2F5)2、LiPF4(CF3SO2)2、LiPF4(C2F5SO2)2、LiBF2(CF3)2、LiBF2(C2F5)2、LiBF2(CF3SO2)2、LiBF2(C2F5SO2)2等の含フッ素有機リチウム塩などが挙げられる。これらのうち、LiPF6、LiBF4、LiCF3SO3、LiN(CF3SO2)2、LiN(C2F5SO2)2が好ましく、特にLiPF6、LiBF4が好ましい。なお、リチウム塩についても1種を単独で用いてもよく、2種以上を併用してもよい。
本発明に係る非水系電解液には、非水系溶媒及び電解質以外に必要に応じて他の有用な成分、例えば従来公知の過充電防止剤、脱水剤、脱酸剤、高温保存後の容量維持特性やサイクル特性を改善するための助剤等の各種の添加剤を含有させてもよい。
電解液にフッ素原子を有するカーボネート類(これを以下、「フッ素化カーボネート」と略記する場合がある)を用いることは知られているが(日本国特開2008-192504号公報(特許文献10)、日本国特開2005-38722号公報(特許文献11)、日本国特開2008-257988号公報(特許文献12)、日本国特開2009-163939号公報(特許文献13)、日本国特開2010-10078号公報(特許文献14))、EV用あるいはHEV用電池モジュールに用いられる充電上限電圧が20V乃至あるいは数百Vとなる場合の過充電に関する検討は行われていない。
上述したように、EV用あるいはHEV用の電池モジュールにおいては数十V以上の電圧下で反応して過充電反応を抑制するような新技術が求められているが、これを満足する技術は未だ見出されていない。
代表的には、一般式C=O(OR1)(OR2)(式中、R1及びR2は、それぞれ炭素数1または2のアルキル基であり、R1及びR2のうち少なくとも1方が1個以上のフッ素原子を有する)で表される化合物が用いられ、ジメチルカーボネート誘導体類、エチルメチルカーボネート誘導体類、ジエチルカーボネート誘導体類等が挙げられる。
これらの中でも、トリフルオロエチルメチルカーボネート、エチルトリフルオロエチルカーボネートが、電池を大型化した際の電導性等の電池特性を維持しつつ、高い耐過充電防止性能を発現できるため好ましい。
特許文献16には、副電解質として含酸素リチウム塩を添加する技術が開示されているが、含酸素リチウム塩を非水電解液に加えると電池使用時に副反応が進行し不可逆容量が大きくなっていくため集電体の保護には有効でも電池の特性として満足なものを得ることは困難であった。また、副電解質の適正な組み合わせや濃度については充分に検討されておらず、高容量、高出力を持つ自動車用途などの電池の過充電への対策としては不充分なものであった。
本発明者らは上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究した結果、本発明のセパレータに特定の副電解質を特定量含有する電解液と組み合わせることで、耐過充電性をより一層、大幅に改善できることを見出した。これにより、モジュール電池の中に不良セルが混在して1個乃至少数の単セルにモジュール電池全体の数十Vの電圧が印加されるような過充電状態に至っても、短絡、爆発をより一層防止しうる、安全性の高い非水系電解液二次電池が提供できる。

本発明の非水系電解液二次電池に使用される正極は、通常、正極活物質とバインダーを含有する活物質層を集電体上に形成させたものである。
正極集電体の表面電気抵抗は最も一般的に使用されるアルミニウム箔の場合、厚みによって異なるが、厚み1μm乃至100μmに対して6×10-3乃至6×10-5Ωである。セパレータ表面の導電層の表面電気抵抗をこれより大きくすることで、導電層が正極集電体として機能することを防止することができ、ジュール発熱によるセパレータの熱劣化を抑制することができる。
本発明の非水系電解液二次電池に使用される負極は、通常、負極活物質とバインダーを含有する活物質層を集電体上に形成させたものである。

本発明の非水系電解液二次電池を組み立てる方法は特に制限されず、目的とする電池の形状に合わせて、通常用いられている各種方法の中から適宜選択することができる。例えば、少なくとも一方の表面に導電層を有する本発明のセパレータ、前述の非水系電解液、正極及び負極とを積層し、正負極間に非水系電解液を注入して、適切な形状に組み立てることにより製造される。更に、必要に応じて外装ケース等の他の構成要素を用いることも可能である。
本発明の非水系電解液二次電池の用途は特に限定されず、従来公知の各種の用途に用いることが可能である。具体例としては、ノートパソコン、ペン入力パソコン、モバイルパソコン、電子ブックプレーヤー、携帯電話、携帯ファックス、携帯コピー、携帯プリンター、ヘッドフォンステレオ、ビデオムービー、液晶テレビ、ハンディークリーナー、ポータブルCD、ミニディスク、トランシーバー、電子手帳、電卓、メモリーカード、携帯テープレコーダー、ラジオ、バックアップ電源、モーター、照明器具、玩具、ゲーム機器、時計、ストロボ、カメラ等の小型機器が挙げられるが、過充電下における高い安全性を有するという特長から、本発明の非水系電解液二次電池は特に電気自動車、ハイブリッド自動車等の大型機器への用途、即ち、EV用あるいはHEV用リチウム二次電池として好適である。
ダイアインスツルメンツ社(現三菱化学アナリテック社)製のロレスターEPおよびハイレスターUPを用いて表面電気抵抗を測定した。表面電気抵抗が106Ω以下の場合はロレスターEPとASPプローブ(補正係数4.2353)の組み合わせによる四探針法で、表面電気抵抗が106Ω以上の場合はハイレスターUPとUAプローブ(補正係数1.050)の組み合わせによる二探針法で測定を行った。

<非水系電解液の調製>
乾燥アルゴン雰囲気下、エチレンカーボネートとエチルメチルカーボネートを体積比3/7混合した溶媒に、十分に乾燥したヘキサフルオロリン酸リチウム(LiPF6)を1.0mol/lの割合となるように溶解したものを非水系電解液とした。
正極活物質としてLiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2を用い、LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O290重量部にアセチレンブラック5重量部及びポリフッ化ビニリデン(呉羽化学社製商品名「KF-1000」)5重量部を加えて混合し、混合物をN-メチル-2-ピロリドンに分散させてスラリー状とした。得られたスラリーを正極集電体である厚さ15μmのアルミニウム箔の両面に均一に塗布して乾燥後、プレス機により厚さ81μmに圧延したものを、活物質層のサイズとして幅100mm、長さ100mm、及び幅30mmの未塗工部を有する形状に切り出して正極とした。正極活物質層の密度は2.35g/cm3であった。
負極活物質として天然黒鉛粉末を用い、天然黒鉛粉末98重量部に、増粘剤、バインダーとしてそれぞれ、カルボキシメチルセルロースナトリウムの水溶液(カルボキシメチルセルロースナトリウムの濃度1重量%)100重量部、及び、スチレン・ブタジエンゴムの水性ディスパージョン(スチレン・ブタジエンゴムの濃度50重量%)2重量部を加えて混合してスラリー状とした。得られたスラリーを負極集電体である厚さ10μmの圧延銅箔の両面に塗布して乾燥後、プレス機で厚さ75μmに圧延したものを、活物質層のサイズとして幅104mm、長さ104mm、及び幅30mmの未塗工部を有する形状に切り出し、負極とした。負極活物質層の密度は1.35g/cm3であった。

正極32枚と負極33枚を交互となるように配置し、各電極の間に上述のセパレータがAlスパッタリング層が正極に対向して挟まれるよう積層した。この際、正極の正極活物質面が負極の負極活物質面内から外れないよう両活物質層面が互いに対面するように位置させた。この正極と負極それぞれについての未塗工部同士を束ねスポット溶接して集電タブを作製し、電極群としたものを、アルミニウム製の電池缶(外寸:120×110×10mm)に封入した。電池缶としては蓋部分に正極及び負極の集電端子、圧力放出弁、非水系電解液の注入口を備えた電池缶を用いた。集電タブと集電端子はスポット溶接により接続した。その後、電極群を装填した電池缶に非水系電解液を20mL注入して、電極に充分浸透させ、注入口を密閉して電池を作製した。
充放電サイクルを経ていない新たな電池に対して、25℃で電圧範囲4.1~3.0V、電流値0.2C(1時間率の放電容量による定格容量を1時間で放電する電流値を1Cとする、以下同様)にて5サイクル初期充放電を行った。
続いて同じく25℃環境下で過充電試験を行った。放電状態(3V)から3Cの定電流で充電を行い、その挙動を観測した。ここで、「弁作動」は、ガス排出弁が作動し非水系電解液成分が放出される現象を表し、「破裂」は、電池容器が猛烈な勢いで破れ,内容物が強制的に放出される現象を表す。
