Definitions
- the present invention relates to a negative electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including a core material and a negative electrode mixture layer attached to the core material, and more particularly to improvement of a negative electrode including a carbon material.
- non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries are widely used as driving power sources for portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook computers, and video camcorders as secondary batteries having high operating voltage and high energy density.
- the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte.
- a carbon material capable of inserting and extracting lithium ions is generally used for the negative electrode of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery.
- graphite materials are widely used because they can realize a flat discharge potential and a high capacity density (Patent Documents 1 and 2).
- I the ratio of the peak intensity I (101) attributed to the (101) plane obtained by the wide-angle X-ray diffraction method to the peak intensity I (100) attributed to the (100) plane:
- I A material in which (101) / I (100) satisfies 0.7 ⁇ I (101) / I (100) ⁇ 2.2 has been proposed.
- This peak ratio is an indicator of the degree of graphitization.
- a carbon material having an I (101) / I (100) ratio of 0.8 or more or 1.0 or more is recommended (Patent Document 3).
- the internal resistance of the battery can be reduced by improving the current collecting structure of the electrode, increasing the electrode reaction area by making the electrode thin and long, and making the battery component a material with low resistance.
- selection and reforming of active materials are effective for increasing the battery input / output in a low temperature environment.
- the charge acceptance property of the carbon material used for a negative electrode has big influence on the input / output characteristic of a battery. That is, using a carbon material that easily inserts and desorbs lithium ions is effective for increasing the input / output of the battery.
- Patent Document 4 a negative electrode containing a low crystalline carbon material such as a non-graphitizable carbon material has been studied (Patent Document 4).
- the non-graphitizable carbon material has low orientation, and sites where lithium ions are inserted and desorbed are randomly located. Therefore, the charge acceptance is high, which is advantageous for improving the input / output characteristics.
- a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including the conventional carbon material as described above is likely to cause the following disadvantages when charging and discharging are repeated over a long period of time.
- the graphite materials as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have a layered structure, and a high capacity density is obtained.
- the layer spacing is increased.
- the graphite material expands.
- the stress accompanying such expansion gradually increases with repeated charge and discharge. Therefore, the charge acceptability of the graphite material is gradually reduced, and the cycle life is reduced.
- the charge / discharge reaction mechanism is different from that of the graphite material, and lithium ions are hardly inserted between the layers during charging. Since most of the lithium ions are inserted into the voids of the carbon material, it is considered that the stress due to expansion and contraction associated with charge / discharge is less than that of the graphite material as described above.
- a non-graphitizable carbon material is pulverized, a strong stress is required, so that the pulverization is performed under severe conditions. Therefore, the surface of the non-graphitizable carbon material after pulverization becomes smooth. Therefore, the frictional resistance between the particles when the negative electrode expands and contracts is reduced, and the negative electrode, and thus the battery itself, tends to expand.
- One aspect of the present invention includes a core material and a negative electrode mixture layer attached to the core material, the negative electrode mixture layer includes carbon material particles, and the fracture strength of the carbon material particles is 100 MPa or more.
- the surface roughness Ra of the material particles is 0.2 to 0.8 ⁇ m, and the packing density of the negative electrode mixture layer is 1.4 to 1.6 g / cm 3, which is measured by a wide angle X-ray diffraction method.
- the ratio of the peak intensity I (101) attributed to the (101) plane to the peak intensity I (100) attributed to the (100) plane is 1.0 ⁇ I (101) / I (100) ⁇ 3.0, the peak intensity I (110) attributed to the (110) plane and the peak intensity I (004) attributed to the (004) plane
- the negative electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has a ratio satisfying 0.25 ⁇ I (110) / I (004) ⁇ 0.45
- Another aspect of the present invention is a step of mixing natural graphite particles and pitch to obtain a first precursor, heating the first precursor at 600 to 1000 ° C., and using the pitch as a polymerization pitch, the second precursor.
- a body, a second precursor is heated at 1100-1500 ° C. to carbonize the polymerization pitch to obtain a third precursor, and a third precursor is heated at 2200-2800 ° C. to be carbonized.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a negative electrode for a pond.
- the negative electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a core material and a negative electrode mixture layer attached to the core material.
- the negative electrode mixture layer contains carbon material particles as an essential component and a binder as an optional component.
- the carbon material particles have a high breaking strength of 100 MPa or more. For this reason, even after pulverization to obtain a desired average particle diameter, the surface of the carbon material particles is not excessively smooth and has a certain degree of surface roughness. Therefore, the friction between the particles increases, and the expansion of the negative electrode is suppressed.
- the breaking strength of the carbon material particles is more preferably 120 to 180 MPa.
- the breaking strength of the carbon material particles is obtained, for example, by the following method.
- As measurement particles carbon material particles having a particle size of 17 to 23 ⁇ m and a sphericity of 85% or more are prepared.
- the carbon material particles are compressed with an indenter while gradually increasing the weight.
- the load when the carbon material particles are broken is defined as the breaking strength of the particles.
- the breaking strength of the carbon material particles can be measured using a commercially available microcompression tester (for example, MCT-W500 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation).
- MCT-W500 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation
- the fracture strength of the carbon material particles is measured using a flat indenter having a tip diameter of 50 ⁇ m and a displacement speed of 5 ⁇ m / sec.
- the carbon material particles are preferably composite carbon particles having a natural graphite portion and an artificial graphite portion.
- the composite carbon particles are not simply a mixture of natural graphite particles and artificial graphite particles, but have natural graphite portions and artificial graphite portions in one particle. Although details are unknown, such composite carbon particles have high fracture strength (for example, 100 MPa or more) due to the interaction between the natural graphite portion and the artificial graphite portion. Since the composite carbon particles are difficult to break, the surface is not excessively smooth even after being pulverized so as to have a desired average particle diameter, and has a certain degree of surface roughness. Therefore, the frictional resistance between the particles is increased, and the expansion of the negative electrode is suppressed.
- the composite carbon particles need not all be graphitized. For example, a carbon portion that is in the process of graphitization may be included.
- Composite carbon particles are difficult to orient even when rolled. This is because the composite carbon particles have a high breaking strength as described above, and the breakage of the particles is suppressed. Since the particles are not easily oriented, the reaction resistance component in the internal resistance can be mainly reduced. That is, the composite carbon particles are unlikely to deteriorate with respect to a charge / discharge cycle at a high current density that requires high charge acceptance. Therefore, by using the composite carbon particles, it is possible to achieve both high density and charge acceptance with an excellent balance while suppressing expansion of the negative electrode.
- the composite carbon particles have a dense structure because graphite crystals are continuously bonded from the natural graphite portion to the artificial graphite portion. Moreover, since artificial graphite and natural graphite are compounded, it has a fine crystal structure.
- the boundary between the natural graphite portion and the artificial graphite portion can be recognized, for example, by observing the cross section of the particle. However, it may be difficult to visually recognize the boundary between the natural graphite portion and the artificial graphite portion. In this case, for example, by performing micro part X-ray crystal structure analysis and confirming the presence of particles having different crystallite sizes, it can be confirmed that the particles are composite carbon particles. It is preferable that graphite crystals are continuous at the boundary. Since the graphite crystal continuously extends from the natural graphite portion to the artificial graphite portion, the fracture strength of the particles is easily improved and a dense structure is easily obtained.
- the artificial graphite portion is disposed on the surface of the natural graphite portion.
- Composite carbon particles having such a structure have a relatively uniform shape (for example, sphericity of 80 to 95%). Therefore, the stress applied to the composite carbon particles becomes uniform, and the breakage of the particles is suppressed.
- the surface of the natural graphite portion may be completely covered with the artificial graphite portion, or the natural graphite portion may be partially exposed. In the composite carbon particles, it is only necessary that the proportion of the artificial graphite portion exposed on the surface is increased on average.
- the sphericity refers to the ratio of the circumference of an equivalent circle to the circumference of a two-dimensional projection image of particles.
- the equivalent circle is a circle having an area equal to the projected area of the particles. For example, the sphericity of 10 particles may be measured and the average value obtained.
- the weight ratio of the artificial graphite portion in the composite carbon particles is preferably 60 to 90% by weight, and more preferably 80 to 90% by weight.
- the weight ratio of the artificial graphite part is less than 60% by weight, the weight ratio of the natural graphite part is relatively increased, and it may be difficult to obtain a dense structure.
- the weight ratio of the artificial graphite portion exceeds 90% by weight, the fracture strength of the composite carbon particles may be reduced.
- the weight ratio of the artificial graphite portion in the composite carbon particles can be estimated from, for example, the ratio of the area of the artificial graphite portion in the cross section of the entire composite carbon particle by observing the cross section of the composite carbon particle with an electron microscope.
- the surface of natural graphite particles after pulverization becomes smooth when pulverized to a desired particle size.
- the frictional resistance between particles becomes small, the negative electrode tends to expand easily.
- the basal surface of the carbon layer is exposed more on the surface of the pulverized natural graphite particles than the layer (edge surface) of the carbon layer.
- the surface roughness Ra of the natural graphite particles after pulverization is, for example, 0.05 ⁇ m or less.
- the basal plane does not contribute to lithium ion insertion and desorption. That is, when the graphite particles are pulverized with a large stress as in the prior art, the charge acceptability of the negative electrode tends to decrease.
- Composite carbon particles are synthesized using a core of natural graphite and a raw material of artificial graphite as starting materials. Specifically, for example, it can be obtained by the following method. First, natural graphite particles and pitch are mixed to obtain a first precursor. Here, it is preferable to pulverize natural graphite particles as a raw material so as to have a sharp particle size distribution. If many natural graphite particles having an excessively small particle size are contained, the particle size distribution of the composite carbon particles after pulverization may be broad. In addition, if there are many natural graphite particles having an excessively large particle size relative to the desired composite carbon particle size, it is necessary to pulverize the natural graphite part. The input / output characteristics may be difficult to improve.
- the natural graphite particles after pulverization preferably have a content ratio of particles of 5 ⁇ m or less of 3% by weight or less.
- the value of the cumulative 50% diameter in the volume-based particle size distribution of the natural graphite particles after pulverization is 1.5 to 3 times the value of the cumulative 10% diameter, and the cumulative 90% diameter value is equal to the cumulative 50% diameter.
- the value is preferably 1.1 to 1.5 times the value. Since such natural graphite particles have small variations in particle size, composite carbon particles having a sharp particle size distribution can be obtained. As a result, the filling property at the time of rolling is improved, which is preferable.
- the first precursor is heated at 600 to 1000 ° C. to melt the pitch, and held in an inert atmosphere for a predetermined time. Thereby, a 2nd precursor is obtained by making a pitch into a polymerization pitch. Thereafter, the second precursor is heated at 1100 to 1500 ° C. to carbonize the polymerization pitch, whereby the third precursor is obtained.
- the third precursor is heated at 2200 ° C. to 2800 ° C. in an inert gas atmosphere.
- the carbonized polymerization pitch is graphitized, and a mass of composite carbon particles is obtained.
- Graphitization can be confirmed, for example, by improving the sharpness of the peak in XRD.
- the carbonization and graphitization are preferably performed in an inert atmosphere, for example, in an atmosphere containing at least one gas selected from the group consisting of nitrogen and argon.
- the mass of the composite carbon particles is treated so that the surface roughness Ra becomes 0.2 to 0.8 ⁇ m.
- the lump may be pulverized and classified. Since the lump of composite carbon particles has the property of being easily pulverized, the desired average particle diameter can be easily controlled even if the pulverization stress is reduced. Therefore, the composite carbon particles after pulverization have an appropriate surface roughness as described above. Therefore, the frictional resistance between the particles is increased, and the negative electrode can be favorably suppressed from expanding. Further, the edge surface of the carbon layer is sufficiently exposed on the surface of the composite carbon particles after pulverization, and excellent charge acceptability is exhibited.
- the carbon material particles having a surface roughness of 0.2 to 0.8 ⁇ m have a large frictional resistance between the particles, the expansion of the negative electrode is easily suppressed.
- the lump of the composite carbon particles has a discontinuous structure and is easily pulverized. Therefore, even if the pulverization stress is relatively small, the composite carbon particles can be easily controlled to a desired particle size. Since the pulverization stress can be reduced, the surface of the composite carbon particles is not excessively smooth, and a state having a certain degree of surface roughness is maintained. When the surface roughness Ra is smaller than 0.2 ⁇ m, the frictional resistance between the particles becomes small, so that the expansion of the negative electrode cannot be sufficiently suppressed.
- the surface roughness of the carbon material particles can be determined by, for example, SPM (Scanning Probe Microscope). The surface roughness may be measured for particles having a particle size of 10 to 20 ⁇ m and the average of 10 to 20 particles may be obtained.
- the average particle diameter of the carbon material particles (cumulative 50% diameter in the volume-based particle size distribution: D50) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 to 25 ⁇ m, more preferably 5 to 15 ⁇ m.
- the carbon material particles preferably have a sharp particle size distribution. Specifically, the content ratio of particles of 5 ⁇ m or less is preferably 5% by weight or less.
- the value of the cumulative 50% diameter in the volume-based particle size distribution of the carbon material particles is 2 to 3.5 times the value of the cumulative 10% diameter (D10), and the cumulative 90% diameter (D90) is It is preferably 2 to 2.7 times the value of 50% cumulative diameter. Since such carbon material particles have small variations in particle size, the filling property when rolling the negative electrode mixture layer is improved.
- the BET specific surface area of the carbon material particles is desirably 1 to 5 m 2 / g. As a result, both excellent charge / discharge cycle characteristics and high input / output characteristics can be achieved. When the BET specific surface area of the carbon material particles is less than 1 m 2 / g, it may be difficult to improve the input / output characteristics. On the other hand, when the BET specific surface area exceeds 5 m 2 / g, the influence of a side reaction between the non-aqueous electrolyte and the carbon material particles may become obvious.
- the BET specific surface area of the carbon material particles is more preferably 1.5 to 3 m 2 / g.
- the BET specific surface area of the carbon material particles is determined from the amount of nitrogen adsorbed on the carbon material particles.
- the carbon material particles preferably have an amorphous carbon layer on the surface.
- the carbon material particles are composite carbon particles, it is preferable to have an amorphous carbon layer on at least one surface of the artificial graphite portion and the natural graphite portion.
- the amorphous carbon layer is amorphous and lithium ions are easily occluded. Therefore, the charge acceptability of the negative electrode is further improved.
- the method for arranging the amorphous carbon layer on the surface of the carbon material particles is not particularly limited.
- the method of coating the surface of the carbon material particles with the amorphous carbon layer may be a gas phase method or a liquid phase method. After attaching an organic substance such as pitch to the surface, it may be amorphized by reducing it, and the surface is covered with an amorphous carbon layer by heating the carbon material particles in a reducing atmosphere such as acetylene gas. May be.

- the peak intensity means the peak height. If I (101) / I (100) is 1 or less, it can be said that the three-dimensional development of the graphite structure is insufficient. In this case, a sufficiently high capacity cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when I (101) / I (100) is 3 or more, the properties of natural graphite are increased and the basal plane is easily oriented. Therefore, it becomes the structure where the acceptability of Li fell.
- a more preferable range of the I (101) / I (100) value is 2.6 or less, and particularly preferably 2.5 or less. Further, the I (101) / I (100) value is more preferably 2.2 or more, and more preferably 2.3 or more.

Abstract
Description
本発明の新規な特徴を添付の請求の範囲に記述するが、本発明は、構成および内容の両方に関し、本願の他の目的および特徴と併せ、図面を照合した以下の詳細な説明によりさらによく理解されるであろう。
測定用の粒子として、粒径17~23μm、球形度85%以上の炭素材料粒子を準備する。加重を徐々に大きくしながら、圧子で炭素材料粒子を圧縮する。炭素材料粒子が破壊に至るときの加重を、その粒子の破壊強度とする。炭素材料粒子の破壊強度は、市販の微小圧縮試験器(例えば、(株)島津製作所製のMCT-W500)を用いて測定できる。例えば、先端径が50μmであるフラット圧子を用い、変位速度を5μm/secとして、炭素材料粒子の破壊強度を測定する。
球形度とは、粒子の二次元投影像の周囲長に対する、相当円の周囲長の比のことをいう。相当円とは、粒子の投影面積と等しい面積を有する円である。例えば、10個の粒子の球形度を測定し、その平均値を求めればよい。
まず、天然黒鉛粒子とピッチとを混合して、第1前駆体を得る。ここで、原料である天然黒鉛粒子を、シャープな粒度分布となるように粉砕することが好ましい。過度に粒径の小さい天然黒鉛粒子が多く含まれると、粉砕後の複合炭素粒子の粒度分布もブロードな分布になる場合がある。また、所望の複合炭素粒子の粒径に対して過度に粒径の大きい天然黒鉛粒子が多く含まれると、天然黒鉛部分で粉砕する必要が生じるため、複合炭素粒子において天然黒鉛の性質が顕在化し、出入力特性が向上しにくくなる場合がある。
炭素材料粒子の表面粗さは、例えばSPM(走査型プローブ顕微鏡、Scanning Probe Microscope)で求められる。表面粗さは、粒径10~20μmの粒子について測定し、10~20個の粒子の平均を求めればよい。
負極集電体は特に限定されないが、例えば、ステンレス鋼、ニッケル、銅などからなるシートを用いることができる。
すなわち、I(110)/I(004)が小さいほど、ベーサル面が電極の面方向に配向していることになる。
なお、I(110)/I(004)値は、0.29以上、0.37以下が特に好ましい。
高純度ケイ素粉末を、内部標準物質として炭素材料粒子と混合する。混合物のX線回折像を測定して、炭素とケイ素の両者のピークの半価幅の値から結晶子の厚みが求められる。Lcは、(004)面に帰属されるピークから求められる。Laは、(110)面に帰属されるピークから求められる。
正極集電体としては、例えば、ステンレス鋼、アルミニウム、チタンなどからなるシートを用いることができる。
(i)正極の作製
正極活物質であるリチウム含有複合酸化物(LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2、平均粒径12μm)100重量部、結着剤であるポリフッ化ビニリデン(呉羽化学(株)製のPVDF#1320(固形分12重量%のN-メチル-2-ピロリドン(NMP)溶液)5重量部、導電材であるアセチレンブラック4重量部および分散媒である適量のNMPを双腕式練合機を用いて攪拌し、正極合剤ペーストを調製した。正極合剤ペーストを厚さ20μmのアルミニウム箔(正極芯材)の両面に塗布し、塗膜を乾燥させた。その後、正極の合計厚さが150μmになるように、塗膜をローラで圧延し、正極を作製した。得られた正極は、角型の電池ケースに挿入可能な幅に裁断した。
天然黒鉛(関西熱化学(株)製、平均粒径25μm)を、ジェットミル((株)セイシン企業製のCo-Jet)により粒径が3μm以上15μm以下の範囲になるように粉砕した。
次に、得られた複合炭素粒子をエチレンガス気流中で、1200℃で加熱して、天然黒鉛部分および人造黒鉛部分の少なくとも一方の表面にアモルファスカーボン層を形成した。TEM(透過型電子顕微鏡)で確認したところ、アモルファスカーボン層の厚さは10~15nmであった。
微小圧縮試験器((株)島津製作所製のMCT-W500)を用いて、複合炭素粒子の破壊強度を測定した。粒径20μmの粒子10個の破壊強度を測定し、平均値を求めた。結果を表1に示す。
非水電解質は、エチレンカーボネートとメチルエチルカーボネートとの体積割合が1:3である混合溶媒に、ビニレンカーボネート2重量%、ビニルエチレンカーボネート2重量%、フルオロベンゼン5重量%およびフォスファゼン5重量%を混合した。得られた混合溶媒に対して、1.5mol/LのLiPF6を溶解させ、非水電解質を調製した。
図1に示す構成を有する非水電解質二次電池を作製した。
正極と負極とを、これらの間にセパレータを介して捲回し、捲回軸に垂直な断面が長円形(長径/短径=6.54)である電極群1を構成した。セパレータには、ポリエチレンとポリプロピレンの複合フィルム(セルガード(株)製の2300、厚さ25μm)を用いた。
複合炭素粒子に占める天然黒鉛部分の重量割合を30重量%としたこと以外、実施例1と同様にして電池を作製した。
複合炭素粒子に占める天然黒鉛部分の重量割合を20重量%としたこと以外、実施例1と同様にして、電池を作製した。
複合炭素粒子に占める天然黒鉛部分の重量割合を10重量%としたこと以外、実施例1と同様にして、電池を作製した。
三菱ガス化学(株)製のピッチ(品種AR24Z、軟化点293.9℃)100重量部に、架橋材であるパラキシレングリコール5重量部、黒鉛化触媒であるホウ酸5重量部を混合した。得られた混合物(第1前駆体)を常圧下、窒素雰囲気で300℃まで昇温させ、ピッチを溶融状態として2時間保持し、重合させて、ピッチを重合ピッチとした。
実施例1~4および比較例1の電池について、それぞれ25℃環境下において、400mAの定電流、充電上限電圧4.2V、放電下限電圧2.5Vで3サイクルの充放電を行った後、充放電初期の電池の放電時厚みおよび放電容量を測定した。同様の条件で250サイクルの充放電を行い、電池放電時厚みおよび放電容量を測定し、電池膨れ量および容量維持率を求めた。結果を表2に示す。
なお、実施例3の複合炭素粒子の粒度分布を詳細に分析したところ、5μm以下の粒子の含有割合は5重量%以下であり、D50はD10の約3倍、D90はD50の約2.5倍であった。
また、アモルファス層を形成しない点以外は、実施例1と同様に合成した複合炭素粒子を用いた場合にも、その効果は小さくなる傾向があるが、上記とほぼ同様の効果が得られる。
本発明を現時点での好ましい実施態様に関して説明したが、そのような開示を限定的に解釈してはならない。種々の変形および改変は、上記開示を読むことによって本発明に属する技術分野における当業者には間違いなく明らかになるであろう。したがって、添付の請求の範囲は、本発明の真の精神および範囲から逸脱することなく、すべての変形および改変を包含する、と解釈されるべきものである。
