- lithium ion batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries and other non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries have become increasingly important as on-vehicle power supplies or personal computers and portable terminals.
- a lithium ion battery that is lightweight and obtains a high energy density is expected to be preferably used as a high-output power source mounted on a vehicle.
- charging and discharging are performed by lithium ions traveling between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
- Patent Document 1 is cited as a related art relating to a lithium ion battery.
- lithium ion batteries are expected to be used in a mode in which high-rate discharge (rapid discharge) is repeated.
- a lithium ion battery used as a power source for a vehicle for example, a lithium ion battery mounted on a hybrid vehicle that uses a lithium ion battery and another power source having different operating principles such as an internal combustion engine as a power source
- performance deterioration occurs in a charge / discharge pattern that repeats high-rate discharge. Etc.).
- Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for making up for a shortage of electrolyte between positive and negative electrodes by forming a thin layer of 20 microns or less that holds the electrolyte on the separator substrate, thereby improving the discharge capacity of the battery.
- a technique for making up for a shortage of electrolyte between positive and negative electrodes by forming a thin layer of 20 microns or less that holds the electrolyte on the separator substrate, thereby improving the discharge capacity of the battery.
- Such a technique can improve the discharge capacity of the battery, but has durability against a charge / discharge pattern that repeats high-rate discharge (for example, rapid discharge at a level required in a lithium ion battery for a vehicle power source). It could not be improved.
- the present invention has been made in view of such a point, and a main object thereof is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery with improved durability against high-rate charge / discharge.
- the inventor of the present application is a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including an electrode body in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are overlapped via a separator, and a high rate as expected in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery for a vehicle power source.
- a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including an electrode body in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are overlapped via a separator, and a high rate as expected in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery for a vehicle power source.
- the amount of electrolyte in the non-aqueous electrolyte that permeates between the positive and negative electrodes of the electrode body decreases. It was found that a part of the non-aqueous electrolyte that permeated between the positive and negative electrodes was pushed out of the electrode, and the amount of the electrolyte between the positive and negative electrodes was less than the required amount (that is, the electrolyte withered).
- the electrolyte dies out between the positive and negative electrodes in this way the amount of the electrolyte in the positive and negative electrodes becomes insufficient at the time of charge and discharge, so that the high rate charge / discharge performance as a whole battery is lowered. Further, since the battery reaction concentrates on the portion where the amount of the electrolytic solution is relatively large (that is, the portion where the electrolytic solution remains in the positive and negative electrodes), the deterioration of the portion is promoted. Any of these events can be a factor that decreases the durability of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery with respect to the high-rate charge / discharge cycle (increases the battery resistance).

- a porous layer having an inorganic filler and a binder is formed on at least one surface of the separator sheet. The surface of the porous layer is uneven, and the maximum height difference of the uneven surface is 0.2 ⁇ m to 1.7 ⁇ m.
- a porous layer is formed on at least one surface of the separator sheet, and the surface of the porous layer is formed uneven, so that a large amount of non-aqueous electrolyte is retained on the uneven surface. it can. Therefore, even if part of the non-aqueous electrolyte that has penetrated into the positive and negative electrodes due to high-rate charge and discharge is pushed out of the positive and negative electrodes, the non-aqueous electrolyte held on the uneven surface is quickly supplied into the positive and negative electrodes. Thus, the amount of the electrolyte in the positive and negative electrodes can be quickly recovered. As a result, the shortage of electrolyte in the positive and negative electrodes due to high-rate charge / discharge can be eliminated or alleviated, and durability against charge / discharge cycles can be improved.
- the maximum height difference of the uneven surface is 0.2 ⁇ m to 1.7 ⁇ m.
- the maximum height difference of the uneven surface is less than 0.2 ⁇ m, the liquid retention function of the uneven surface is lowered, and the cycle durability improving effect as described above may not be obtained.
- the maximum height difference of the uneven surface exceeds 1.7 ⁇ m, the balance of the electrolyte amount between the positive and negative electrodes is lost, and the battery reaction becomes non-uniform. For this reason, the cycle durability may tend to be lowered.
- the porous layer has particles made of an inorganic metal compound as the inorganic filler, and a particle size (cumulative) of 10% in the particle size distribution (volume basis) of the metal compound particles. D10) is 0.2 ⁇ m or more. If the cumulative particle size (D10) of 10% of the metal compound particles is too small, a porous layer is formed by a collection of fine metal compound particles having a small particle size, and therefore the bond between the metal compound particles is weakened, Durability decreases. Therefore, the uneven surface is easily crushed by receiving pressure due to the expansion and contraction of the electrode body accompanying high-rate charge / discharge, and the cycle durability improvement effect as described above may not be obtained.
- the 90% cumulative particle size (D90) in the particle size distribution (volume basis) of the metal compound particles is 4 ⁇ m or less.
- the metal compound particles are alumina or alumina hydrate. Since these metal compound particles have a high Mohs hardness, they are particularly preferable in that the durability of the porous layer formed using the particles is improved.
- the binder content in the porous layer is determined based on the amount of solids contained in the porous layer (typically inorganic filler, binder, and other porous layer forming components (for example, a thickener). ) Is 1.5% by mass to 3% by mass, where 100% by mass). This makes it easy to control the maximum height difference of the uneven surface within the preferred range disclosed herein.
- the porous layer is formed on a surface of the separator sheet facing the negative electrode sheet, and the uneven surface of the porous layer has at least a negative electrode active material containing a negative electrode active material in the negative electrode sheet. It is formed at a position facing the material layer.
- the negative electrode active material layer containing the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode sheet is likely to be short of electrolyte due to high rate charge / discharge. Therefore, it is particularly useful to form the uneven surface of the porous layer at a position facing the negative electrode active material layer.
- any of the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries disclosed herein has performance suitable as a battery mounted on a vehicle (for example, high output can be obtained), and is particularly excellent in durability against high-rate charge / discharge.
