- the particle size distribution measurement measures not the size of primary particles but the size of aggregated particles (secondary particles). There is no correlation between the size of primary particles and the size of secondary particles. Therefore, in order to show the effect of the present invention, “average particle diameter d” which is a unit indicating the size of primary particles is appropriate.
- Table 2 shows the average particle diameters d of the lithium titanium composite oxides of Examples 1 to 10, Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and Comparative Examples 5 to 8 calculated from SEM photographs.

- FIG. 4B shows the relationship between the measurement results of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 5 to 8 and the amount of V or B added.
- the dischargeable capacity of Comparative Example 1 is the highest. From the measurement results of the batteries containing the active materials of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the dischargeable capacity decreases as the amount x of replacing Ti element with Mn element increases. Further, from the results of the batteries of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 5 to 8, it can be seen that the dischargeable capacity decreases as the amounts y and z of replacing Ti element with V element or B element increase. . Further, from the measurement results of the batteries containing the active materials of Examples 5 to 10, in the case where the Ti element was substituted with the V element or B element in addition to the Mn element, the decrease due to the Mn substitution was added in addition to the V and B substitutions. Furthermore, it was found that the dischargeable capacity is reduced.
- rate characteristics were evaluated using the fabricated battery.

- the electronic conductivity of the lithium titanium composite oxide becomes sufficiently high. Therefore, even if the particle size of the lithium-titanium composite oxide is increased by substituting part of the Ti element with B element or V element, the diffusion of Li ions in the particle is sufficiently fast and the rate characteristics are improved. Conceivable.
- the capacity density per volume of the electrode directly contributes to the energy density of the battery.
- the capacity density of the electrode is represented by the product of the density of the active material in the electrode, the weight capacity density of the active material, and the discharge average voltage.
- the compressed density of the active material can be used as one index representing the density of the active material in the electrode, that is, the filling property.
- the weight capacity density of the active material is the dischargeable capacity measured as described above. Therefore, in this example, “electrode capacity density ⁇ ” was defined as a product of the compression density and the dischargeable capacity as an evaluation index of the capacity density of the electrode, and was calculated.
- Table 2 shows the results of the “electrode capacity density ⁇ ” of the batteries containing the active materials of Examples 1 to 10, Comparative Examples 1 to 3 and 5 to 8 obtained by the above method.

- the “electrode capacity density ⁇ ” is larger than that of the battery of Comparative Example 1 when the addition amount x of Mn element is larger than 0 and not larger than 0.1. It can also be seen that when the addition amount x of Mn element is 0.3, the “electrode capacity density ⁇ ” of the battery including the active material of the example is lowered. This is presumably because the discharge reversible capacity is greatly reduced when the Mn element addition amount x is 0.3 (FIG. 4A). Therefore, it can be seen that the addition amount x of the Mn element preferably satisfies 0 ⁇ x ⁇ 0.1.
- the “electrode capacity density ⁇ ” of the batteries containing the active materials of Examples 5, 6, 8, and 9 to which B element or V element was added is larger than that of the batteries containing the active materials of Examples 1 to 4. I understood. This is probably because the dischargeable capacity decreases according to the addition amount of the B element and the V element, but the effect of increasing the compression density contributes greatly. Similar results are seen in the results of Comparative Examples 2, 3, 5 to 8 with respect to Comparative Example 1.
- the negative electrode active material for lithium ion secondary batteries according to the present invention is useful as a negative electrode active material for mobile lithium ion secondary batteries because of its high output characteristics and high capacity density when used as an electrode.

リチウムイオン二次電池の負極活物質としての特性を調べるために上記電極を用いて、電池を作製した。一般にリチウムイオン二次電池では、正極活物質にLiCoO2などのリチウム遷移金属複合酸化物(Co、Mn、Niなどの遷移金属を含むものが一般的である)を用いる。しかしながら、本発明では、正極活物質に依存しない、負極活物質そのものの特性を調べるために、対極に一般の正極活物質ではなく、金属Liを用いた。このような方法は、活物質の評価をするのによく用いられる。
放電可能容量を調べるために、作製した上記電池を、一度充電させた後に、放電させた。充放電試験には、ナガノ社製の充放電システムを使用した。充放電の電圧範囲は1Vから3V、電流レートは、0.02Cレートとなるようにした。ここで、1Cレートは1時間放電率を表す電流値と定義され、0.02Cレートは、1Cレートの0.02倍の電流値、すなわち50時間放電率を表す電流値である。
出力特性を調べるために、作製した上記電池を用いてレート特性の評価を行った。ナガノ社製の充放電システムを使用し、充放電の電圧範囲は1Vから3Vとした。1Cレートでの定電流放電の後に、3Vの定電圧で0.02Cレートの電流値になるまで充電した。充電後の放電時の電流レートは、0.02Cもしくは1Cとしてそれぞれ測定した。1Cレートでの放電可能容量を0.02Cレートでの放電可能容量と比較した。
電極の体積あたりの容量密度は、電池のエネルギー密度に直接寄与するため、向上が望まれている。電極の容量密度は、電極中の活物質の密度と活物質の重量容量密度と放電平均電圧との積で表される。電極中の活物質の密度、すなわち充填性を表すひとつの指標として、活物質の圧縮密度を用いることができる。また、活物質の重量容量密度は、上記で測定した放電可能容量である。したがって、本実施例では、電極の容量密度の評価指標として「電極容量密度ρ」を、圧縮密度と放電可能容量の積として定義し、算出した。
