Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a secondary battery, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a secondary battery that addresses the problem of short-circuiting due to deposition of metallic foreign matter mixed in the battery.
- Such a lithium secondary battery typically includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode each including a positive electrode and a negative electrode active material capable of inserting and extracting lithium ions, a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and these positive electrodes , A negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte impregnated in the separator.
- a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator are assembled, and after they are impregnated with a nonaqueous electrolyte, charging is performed.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a method for manufacturing a secondary battery in which a charging time of 0.01% to 0.1% of the battery capacity at the time of initial charging is provided for a standing time of 1 hour to 48 hours. It is disclosed. Further, in Patent Document 2, an electric shock of charging or discharging or a combination of charging and discharging is applied to a battery, and this application is performed with a positive electrode potential of 4.0 V or more on the basis of Li, and then left for 1 minute. It is disclosed that the negative electrode potential is 2.0 V or more. According to these methods, it is described that metal foreign matters are not uniformly deposited on the negative electrode but are uniformly diffused in the electrolyte.
- internal short circuit by measuring the voltage drop (self-discharge amount) in the no-load state for the secondary battery after the initial conditioning separately from the detoxification treatment method of the metallic foreign matter as described above.
- a self-discharge test is performed to determine whether or not there is any.
- This self-discharge inspection is for confirming the presence or absence of a micro short circuit due to the deposition of foreign metal, but in order to confirm the presence or absence of a micro short circuit due to the deposition of iron having a high resistance, an inspection is performed for 5 days or more, for example, about 10 days. There was a need.
- the present invention was created to solve the above-described conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is to locally deposit metallic foreign substances on the negative electrode regardless of the type and variation of the electrode.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a lithium secondary battery that can be reliably suppressed in a shorter time.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a highly reliable lithium secondary battery which is less likely to cause a short circuit obtained by this manufacturing method.
- the present inventors have conducted intensive research on the dissolution behavior of metallic foreign matters such as iron (Fe) inevitably mixed in the manufacturing process. As a result, it was confirmed that the dissolution behavior of the metal foreign matter was greatly influenced by minute changes in the battery configuration and could affect the potential behavior in the detoxification treatment of the metal foreign matter. Factors that affect such potential behavior include, in addition to the above-mentioned electrode type and lot-to-lot variations, for example, design differences such as the concentration of additives in the electrolyte, and influence of electrode storage conditions. Unintended variations can be included.
- the dissolution behavior of the metal foreign matter can be stabilized and the time required for the detoxification process can be shortened.
- the present invention has been conceived.
- the time for the detoxification treatment of the metal foreign matter can be set appropriately within a range in which the influence is taken into consideration.
- the secondary battery manufacturing method disclosed herein is a secondary battery manufacturing method including a positive electrode including a positive electrode active material layer, a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material layer, and a non-aqueous electrolyte.
- a manufacturing method is: Constructing a cell comprising the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the non-aqueous electrolyte; In a charged state where the positive electrode potential is equal to or higher than the oxidation potential of iron (Fe) and the negative electrode potential is equal to or higher than the reduction potential of iron (Fe), 1 to 0.01% to 0.5% of the capacity of the constructed cell.
- a microcharging process that charges over time and maintains the state of charge; and A process of performing initial conditioning charging; It is characterized by including.
- the above charge is maintained by maintaining the above potential without leaving as it is.
- the state is actively maintained and managed.
- the metal foreign matter is always continuously dissolved in the positive electrode, and the dissolved metal ions can be prevented from being deposited on the negative electrode. For this reason, the dissolved metal ions can be diffused uniformly in the electrolyte over a wide range, and the local precipitation of metal ions can be more reliably suppressed.
- the state of charge is positively maintained until the influence of the metal foreign matter is eliminated, it is possible to suppress the influence due to the type and variation of the electrodes.
- the oxidation potential and the reduction potential of iron (Fe) are the same potential in the case of an ideal body.
- the potential at which the oxidation reaction proceeds may deviate from the potential at which the reduction reaction proceeds (referred to as overvoltage) due to the influence of electrolyte additives, electrode materials, and the like. Therefore, in this specification, these are distinguished and described.
- the positive electrode potential is not less than the oxidation potential of iron (Fe) and lower than the oxidation potential of copper (Cu).
- the metal foreign matter to be detoxified is a metallic foreign matter that may be mixed in the manufacturing process of the secondary battery, and the oxidation-reduction potential is within the operating voltage range of the secondary battery. Which can be dissolved (ionized) can be considered. Therefore, even if it is a metallic foreign substance that is expected to be mixed into the positive electrode or the like, the above-mentioned short-circuited metal is not likely to be ionized (dissolved) within the operating voltage range of the secondary battery.
- copper (Cu) is not considered as a metal foreign object to be detoxified, and the positive electrode potential is not raised above the oxidation potential of copper (Cu). According to this configuration, since copper (Cu) is not dissolved in the positive electrode and deposited on the negative electrode, iron (Fe) that is slowly dissolved can be reliably detoxified because of higher resistance. Moreover, although the invention disclosed here actively dissolves metal foreign matter, copper (Cu), which is also used as a negative electrode current collector, can be excluded from the object of active dissolution.
- the micro charging step is performed by constant current constant voltage (CC-CV) charging, and a current during CC charging is set to 0.01 C or less. It is said.
- CC-CV constant current constant voltage
- the potential difference between the positive and negative electrodes can change abruptly at the beginning of charging. According to such a configuration, the current during charging is reduced to 0.01 C or less and the potential is prevented from rising rapidly, so that the potential adjustment accuracy can be improved.

- iron (Fe) can be stably dissolved in the electrolyte in a shorter time without depositing iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) on the negative electrode. According to such a configuration, it is possible to perform the detoxification process of the metal foreign matter in a short time.
- the potential difference between the negative electrode outer can and the CV charging is set to be ⁇ 0.5 V or more and 0.2 V or less. It is characterized by that.
- an outer can is formed of a metal, typically aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Therefore, as described above, the potential between the positive and negative electrodes is set, and the negative electrode potential is kept equal to or higher than the precipitation potential of aluminum or aluminum alloy derived from the outer can so that metal foreign matter such as aluminum or aluminum alloy derived from the outer can Prevent deposition on the negative electrode.
- the above-described microcharging step is performed by constant current and constant voltage charging, and the charged state is maintained within 5 hours to 24 hours.
- the dissolution of the metal foreign matter can be actively promoted, so that the detoxification process of the metal foreign matter can be completed in a shorter time. Therefore, this state of charge can typically be completed in 5 hours or more and within 24 hours, and more specifically, it can be completed in about 10 hours or more and within 20 hours.
- the standard charge maintaining is performed.
- the charging time is set so that charging is longer than the predetermined time, and when the temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature range, the charging time is set so that charging is shorter than the standard charging maintaining time.
- the environmental temperature can also have a great influence on the dissolution behavior of metallic foreign objects. According to this configuration, the influence of the environmental temperature on the dissolution behavior of the metal foreign matter is eliminated by appropriately adjusting the charging time in the microcharging process. Therefore, it is possible to perform the detoxification process of the metal foreign matter in the shortest processing time according to the state of the secondary battery to be processed.
- a plurality of cells constructed in the cell construction step are electrically connected to construct an assembled battery, and the entire assembled battery is constructed.
- the micro charge process is performed. According to such a configuration, for example, since the above-described microcharging process is performed in a state of an assembled battery in which a plurality of secondary batteries (single cells) are connected in series, a plurality of secondary batteries are minutely processed in a single processing time. The charging process can be performed, and it is simple and more economical.
- the standard The charging time is set so that charging is shorter than the charging maintenance time, and when the temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature range, the charging time is set so that charging is longer than the standard charging maintenance time.
- the restraining pressure of the cell can have a great influence on the dissolution behavior of the metal foreign matter. According to such a configuration, the influence of the restraining pressure on the dissolution behavior of the metal foreign matter is eliminated by appropriately adjusting the charging time in the microcharging process. Therefore, it is possible to perform the detoxification process of the metal foreign matter in the shortest processing time according to the state of the secondary battery to be processed.
- the self-discharge inspection step further includes a self-discharge inspection step of measuring a voltage drop amount of the charged cell after the initial conditioning charging step. Is characterized by being performed within 15 hours. According to the above manufacturing method, since the detoxification treatment of the metal foreign matter can be performed reliably, the secondary battery subjected to such a treatment is locally deposited with metal foreign matter, particularly metal foreign matter made of iron (Fe). The possibility of a short circuit due to is sufficiently reduced.
- the secondary battery provided by the invention disclosed herein in another aspect is characterized by being manufactured by any one of the manufacturing methods described above.

- the minute filling step (S30) for example, as shown in the time change of the positive electrode potential and the negative electrode potential in FIG. 2, the positive electrode potential with respect to the metal lithium (Li) reference electrode is equal to or higher than the oxidation potential of iron (Fe) and The battery is charged to a charged state where is equal to or higher than the reduction potential of iron (Fe), and this charged state is maintained.
- the positive electrode potential is always controlled to be equal to or higher than the oxidation potential of iron (Fe) and the negative electrode potential is set to be equal to or higher than the reduction potential of iron (Fe).
- a metal species having a low oxidation potential dissolution potential
- the negative electrode is in a state where the dissolved metal species cannot be precipitated. That is, in this microcharging step, iron (Fe) and a metal species having a lower melting potential than iron are assumed as the metal species that are reliably dissolved in the positive electrode.
- copper (Cu) which is a metal species having a higher oxidation potential than iron (Fe)
- the oxidation potential of iron (Fe) shows a case of about 2.5 V (Li reference) in this embodiment, but is not limited to this value, and the actual iron ( The oxidation potential of Fe) may be set as a reference.
- the positive electrode potential is preferably higher than the oxidation potential of iron (Fe) and lower than the oxidation potential of copper (Cu). This is because when the positive electrode potential is higher than the oxidation potential of copper (Cu), copper (Cu) can be dissolved in the positive electrode, but the dissolved copper (Cu) (that is, Cu ions) moves toward the negative electrode. .
- the negative electrode potential is equal to or higher than the reduction potential of iron (Fe) but less than the reduction potential of copper (Cu)
- Cu ions that have reached the negative electrode can be immediately reduced and deposited on the negative electrode. Such Cu precipitation is not preferable because it may occur locally. Therefore, in such a minute charging step, it is preferable that the positive electrode potential is in a state where copper (Cu) does not dissolve.
- the positive electrode potential is preferably set as high as possible within a range lower than the oxidation potential of copper (Cu).
- This charging is indispensable to be performed by charging at a slow charging speed in which a charge of 0.01% to 0.5% of the cell capacity is charged over 1 hour or more.
- the potential of the positive electrode and the negative electrode after impregnation with the electrolyte is, for example, about 3.0 V (Li standard).
- a rapid change in the potential of the positive and negative electrodes can be caused.
- by performing charging at such a slow charging rate a sudden change in the potential of the positive and negative electrodes is prevented, and the potentials of the positive and negative electrodes are always higher than the reduction potential of iron (Fe).
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing only how the current and the voltage between the positive and negative electrodes change with time in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the region in FIG. 3 where the elapsed time is up to 30 minutes. .
- the charging to the above-described charging state is preferably performed by constant current constant voltage (CC-CV) charging.
- CC-CV constant current constant voltage
- the current during CC charging is 0.01 C or less, for example 0.008 C or less, and more specifically 0.005 C or less. Is preferable.
- the voltage between the positive and negative electrodes during CV charging is preferably set to be 0.5 V or more and 1.3 V or less. Even if the voltage between the positive and negative electrodes is less than 0.5 V, the detoxification treatment is possible. However, if the voltage between the positive and negative electrodes is less than 0.5 V, it is not preferable because it takes a longer time than necessary to dissolve the metal foreign matter. Therefore, it is preferable to set the voltage between the positive and negative electrodes to 0.5 V or more from the viewpoint of increasing the dissolution rate of the metal foreign matter dissolved at the positive electrode and reducing the time required for the detoxification treatment. Further, even when the voltage between the positive and negative electrodes exceeds 1.3 V, the detoxification process is possible.
- the voltage between the positive and negative electrodes is 0.5 V to 1.3 V, for example, 0.6 V to 1.0 V, preferably 0.7 V. It is shown as a preferred example that the reference is 0.9 V or less, more specifically about 0.8 ⁇ 0.05 V.
- the potential difference between the negative electrode and the outer can is ⁇ 0.5 V or more and 0.2 V or less during CV charging in the microcharging process.
- This potential difference is a value defined based on the deposition potential of aluminum (Al) in the electrolyte.
- an outer can is formed of a metal, typically aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The outer can has a potential with respect to the positive electrode and the negative electrode by touching the electrolyte inside the battery during the detoxification treatment. In addition, the potentials of the outer can, the positive electrode, and the negative electrode can be separately measured.
- the potential between the positive and negative electrodes as described above, the potential between the outer can and the negative electrode is also measured, so that the negative electrode potential is maintained at or above the precipitation potential of aluminum or aluminum alloy derived from the outer can. Yes.
- the potential difference between the negative electrode and the outer can in this way, it is possible to prevent metal foreign matters such as aluminum or aluminum alloy derived from the outer can from being deposited on the negative electrode. With this configuration, it is possible to manufacture a secondary battery that is safer and superior in quality.
- the state of charge in the above minute charging process can be maintained until a time when it is determined that the metal foreign object to be detoxified is sufficiently dissolved and diffused.
- the maintenance time of the charged state for example, (1) the size of the metal foreign matter containing iron (Fe) whose dissolution rate is relatively slow, (2) the voltage between positive and negative, and (3) the overall processing as a target It can be determined in consideration of time, etc. And in the method disclosed here, it can be set as one standard to maintain a charge condition in 5 hours or more and less than 24 hours.
- This maintenance time is, for example, when an iron (Fe) particle having a diameter of 200 ⁇ m and a thickness of 10 ⁇ m is completely formed when the microcharging process is performed at an environmental temperature of 25 ° C.
- the dissolution time is 10 hours, and the detoxification of the metal foreign material is completed within the range of 5 hours (1/2 of 10 hours) to 24 hours (approximately 2 times of 10 hours) including this 10 hours. Can be grasped as possible.
- the charge maintenance time required to dissolve a predetermined size of the foreign metal in the micro charge process is further influenced by various factors.
- differences in specifications and variations of the constituent materials of the secondary battery can be considered. More specifically, the difference in the specifications of the constituent materials of the secondary battery can take into account the influence of the type of active material, the concentration of the additive added to the electrolyte, and the like. For example, specifically, it has been confirmed that when the concentration of the additive added to the electrolyte becomes higher, the dissolution rate of the metal foreign matter tends to decrease.
- the degree of impregnation of the electrode and the separator can be considered. For example, specifically, it has been confirmed that the dissolution rate of the metallic foreign matter is lowered when the storage period of the electrode in the dry room becomes longer or when the electrode is exposed to the air instantaneously. These are considered to be due to an increase in the amount of water in the electrode.
- the manufacturing method disclosed herein it is possible to set the charge maintenance time that can reliably perform the detoxification process in a shorter time, including the influences of the factors exemplified above and other influences.
- the detoxification process is surely performed in a more appropriate processing time according to the environment of the detoxification process or the state of the secondary battery by the following method. That is, a predetermined size of metal foreign matter (preferably iron (Fe) particles) is arranged on the positive electrode surface in advance for a predetermined charge maintenance time, and various other conditions (for example, environmental temperature and restraint pressure here) are varied.
- the micro charge process is carried out by changing. At this time, by investigating in advance the relationship between the amount of the metallic foreign material dissolved in a predetermined time and the varied conditions (environmental temperature and restraint pressure), the appropriate and shortest charging at the actual environmental temperature.
- a maintenance time can be set.
- iron (Fe) particles having a diameter of 200 ⁇ m and a thickness of 10 ⁇ m are arranged on the positive electrode, the voltage between the positive and negative electrodes is 0.8 V, the charge maintaining time is 10 hours, and the micro charge process is performed by changing the environmental temperature.
- the relationship between the dissolved amount of iron (Fe) particles and the ambient temperature was shown.
- the binding pressure of the cell is also changed.
- the dissolution amount of iron (Fe) particles is hardly affected by the environmental temperature in the temperature range of 25 ° C. or higher, but dissolves when the restraint pressure increases in the temperature range of less than 25 ° C. It can be seen that the amount decreases and it takes time to dissolve.
- the charging time can be set so that charging is longer than the standard charging maintenance time, and when the temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature range, the charging time can be set so that charging is shorter than the standard charging maintenance time. Further, the time for extending and shortening from the standard charge maintenance time can also be determined appropriately from the relationship shown in FIG.
- FIG. 9 shows the data shown in FIG. 8 as the relationship between the dissolution amount and the restraint pressure.
- the amount of iron (Fe) particles dissolved is not significantly affected in the restraint pressure region where the restraint pressure is no pressure (0.1 MPa or less), but in the restraint pressure region where the restraint pressure is 0.2 MPa or more.
- the amount of dissolution decreases as the restraint pressure increases, and it takes time to dissolve. Therefore, more specifically, for example, as shown in step C20 in FIG. 1, in the state where the cell is restrained by the restraining jig (see FIG. 5), the standard charge is maintained in a predetermined restraining pressure range set in advance.
- the charge time is set so that charging is shorter than the standard charge maintenance time.
- the charge is longer than the standard charge maintenance time.
- the charging time can be set to be performed.
- the conditions of the environmental temperature and the restraint pressure are changed in the micro charge process.
- the other conditions by changing the other conditions, the relationship between the conditions and the dissolved amount in the standard charge maintenance time is obtained.
- a more appropriate charge maintenance time when the condition fluctuates may be set.
- the process C10 and the process C20 in FIG. 1 are not essential processes, and a more appropriate charging time can be set by arbitrarily adopting either one or both.
- the charging time may be set in consideration of the environmental temperature and the restraint pressure.
- the microcharging process disclosed herein can be performed on a single cell, or an assembled battery in which a plurality of cells are electrically connected to construct an assembled battery. It can also be implemented for the whole.
- the assembled battery may be in a form in which a plurality of cells are electrically connected, and is not limited by, for example, the presence or absence of restraint pressure or the magnitude of restraint pressure.
- the arrangement of the plurality of cells is not particularly limited.
- a buffer material called a spacer may be sandwiched between adjacent cells, or the cells may be in direct contact with each other.
- each cell may be accommodated in a predetermined assembled battery case, or a part of each cell may be fixed by a predetermined assembled battery holder or the like.
- the assembled battery may be constructed using a jig or the like having a function of applying an arbitrary restraining pressure to the plane of the cell.
- the restraint pressure referred to here is a pressure applied in a direction substantially perpendicular to the laminated surface of the positive electrode and the negative electrode (typically coincides with the plane of the cell), and is applied to either a single cell or an assembled battery. It may be added.
- Such constraining pressure can be obtained, for example, by using a load cell or calculating using a strain gauge.
- the metal foreign matter mixed in the cell can be dissolved and diffused into the electrolyte in an ionic state.
- the ions of the metal foreign matter sufficiently diffused in the cell are spread over a wide area on the negative electrode (preferably It deposits very thinly (over the entire surface). That is, since the ions of the metal foreign matter reach the negative electrode after being diffused, local precipitation at a predetermined portion of the negative electrode is suppressed. And since this precipitation cannot become a thing which causes a short circuit, by this, the metal foreign material mixed in the cell is made harmless.
- the specific charging process in the initial conditioning process is not particularly limited, and the charging process or the like under various conditions that can activate the target secondary battery with high performance can be performed. For example, after performing an appropriate amount of charge, the operation of leaving for a predetermined time and discharging to a predetermined voltage is repeated. Through the initial conditioning process, the secondary battery is charged to a predetermined battery capacity.
- the manufacturing method disclosed herein may further include a self-discharge inspection step after the initial conditioning step.
- This self-discharge inspection step is to determine the presence or absence of an internal short circuit by measuring the voltage drop amount of the cell charged by the initial conditioning.
- the internal short circuit to be inspected here is a fine short circuit due to local precipitation of the metal foreign matter still remaining on the positive electrode side. Therefore, in order to accurately measure the presence or absence of such a short-circuit, for example, conventionally, an inspection time of at least about 5 days, and in some cases, about 10 days has been required. This is mainly based on the assumption that iron (Fe), which has a high resistance and takes time to dissolve, remains in the cell as a metal foreign substance, and an internal short circuit occurs due to this iron (Fe). This is because the inspection time was set based on the view that a period of 5 days or more is necessary.
- iron (Fe) that takes time to dissolve in the microcharging process is surely dissolved, and thinly deposited in the state of diffusion on the negative electrode in the subsequent initial conditioning process. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider the possibility of an internal short circuit due to iron (Fe) in the self-discharge inspection. Therefore, what is necessary is just to perform the test
- inspection can be performed, for example, within 24 hours, more specifically within 15 hours, preferably within 10 hours, and further within about 2 to 5 hours. As a result, the time required for the self-discharge inspection process can be significantly shortened, and the productivity is remarkably improved.
- the copper (Cu) which can be excluded from the object of dissolution in the micro charge process disclosed here, since the resistance is small, the presence or absence of a short circuit can be inspected in several hours (for example, 1 to 2 hours). .

- the setting of the charge maintenance time for example, in the micro charge process for the secondary battery having a restraint pressure of 0.42 MPa or more at 22 ° C., for example, by extending the charge maintenance time to 20 hours, it can be seen that the metallic foreign object can be detoxified without fail.

Abstract
Description
また特許文献2には、電池に充電あるいは放電または充電と放電の組み合わせの電気的な衝撃を印加し、この印加を、Li基準で正極電位が4.0V以上で、印加した後1分間放置後の負極電位が2.0V以上となる条件で実施することが開示されている。
これらの方法によると、負極に金属異物が析出することなく、電解質中に均一に拡散されることが記載されている。
また、上記の特許文献2に開示された手法で二次電池の正極上の金属異物の溶解を試みた場合、例えば図10Bに示したように放置中の正極電位にバラつきが生じてしまっていた。これは、同規格で製造された電池であるにも関わらず、電極材料のロット間のバラつきに因り生じる影響であると考えられる。このため、金属異物を無害化し得る時間にもばらつきが生じ、より確実な金属異物の無害化を行うには処理時間を長く設定する必要があった。
上記正極、上記負極および上記非水電解質を含むセルを構築する工程;
正極電位が鉄(Fe)の酸化電位以上、かつ、負極電位が鉄(Fe)の還元電位以上となる充電状態に、該構築されたセルの容量の0.01%~0.5%まで1時間以上かけて充電し、該充電状態を維持する微小充電工程;および、
初回コンディショニング充電を行う工程、
を包含することを特徴としている。
なお、例えば上記鉄(Fe)の酸化電位と還元電位は、理想状体であれば同一の電位となる。しかしながら、実際には、電解質の添加剤や電極材料などの影響により、酸化の反応が進行する電位と還元の反応が進行する電位とがずれることがあり得る(過電圧という)。そのため、本明細書においては、これらを区別して記載するようにしている。
また、本明細書において「活物質」は、二次電池において電荷担体となる化学種(例えば、リチウムイオン電池ではリチウムイオン)を可逆的に吸蔵および放出(典型的には挿入および脱離)可能な物質をいう。
以下、二次電池としてリチウム二次電池を製造する場合を例として、ここに開示される発明の説明を行う。
図1は、ここに開示される二次電池の製造方法の一実施形態を示すフロー図である。また図2は、一実施形態としてのリチウム二次電池に対して微小充電工程を施した場合の電位状態を説明する図であり、図中のプロット線は、グラフの上から、正極電位、負極電位、正極と負極との間の電位差(以下、正負極間電圧という場合もある。)、および供給される電流の時間変化を表す。
微小充填工程(S30)は、例えば図2の正極電位および負極電位の時間変化に示されるように、金属リチウム(Li)基準極に対する正極電位が鉄(Fe)の酸化電位以上、かつ、負極電位が鉄(Fe)の還元電位以上となる充電状態に充電を行い、この充電状態を維持するようにする。
図3は、図1における電流と正負極間電圧の時間変化の様子のみを示した図であり、図4は、図3における経過時間が30分までの領域を拡大して示した図である。このような緩慢な充電速度での充電を行うことにより、充電初期に見られがちな正負極間電圧の変化をも防ぎ、例えば図4に示すような、より精度の高い電位調整および電位の制御が可能となる。
なお、ここでいう拘束圧は、正極および負極の積層面(代表的にはセルの平面に一致する。)に略垂直な方向に加わる圧力であって、単一のセルまたは組電池のいずれに加えられていても良い。かかる拘束圧は、例えばロードセルを用いたり、ひずみゲージを利用して算出する等して求めることができる。
なお、かかる初回コンディショニング工程における具体的な充電処理等については特に制限されず、対象となる二次電池を性能良く活性化し得る各種の条件での充電処理等を行うことができる。例えば、適切な充電量の充電を行った後、所定の時間にわたって放置し、所定の電圧まで放電する操作を繰り返すこと等が例示される。かかる初期コンディショニング工程により、二次電池は所定の電池容量にまで充電される。

負極活物質としては、リチウムを吸蔵および放出可能な材料であればよく、従来からリチウム二次電池に用いられる負極活物質の一種または二種以上を特に限定なく使用することができる。例えば、黒鉛(グラファイト)等の炭素材料、リチウム・チタン酸化物(Li4Ti5O12)等の酸化物材料、スズ、アルミニウム(Al)、亜鉛(Zn)、ケイ素(Si)等の金属若しくはこれらの金属元素を主体とする金属合金からなる金属材料、等が挙げられる。典型例として、少なくとも一部にグラファイト構造(層状構造)を含む粒子状の炭素材料(カーボン粒子)が好ましく用いられる。いわゆる黒鉛質のもの(グラファイト)、難黒鉛化炭素質のもの(ハードカーボン)、易黒鉛化炭素質のもの(ソフトカーボン)、非晶質のもの(アモルファスカーボン)や、これらを組み合わせた構造を有するもののいずれの炭素材料も、好適に使用することができる。
<評価用セルの準備>
評価用の小型ラミネートセル(リチウム二次電池)を以下の手順に従って構築した。
まず、正極活物質としての三元系のリチウム遷移金属酸化物(LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2)と、導電材としてのアセチレンブラック(AB)と、結着剤としてのポリフッ化ビニリデン(PVDF)とを用い、これらの材料を質量比で87:10:3となるようにイオン交換水と混合することにより正極活物質層形成用ペーストを調製した。次いで、正極集電体としてのアルミニウム箔(厚さ15μm)に単位面積あたりの正極活物質の被覆量がおよそ12mg/cm2となるように該正極活物質層形成用ペーストを正極集電体の片面に塗布して乾燥させた。乾燥後、ローラプレス機にてシート状に引き伸ばすことにより厚さをおよそ90μmに成形し、正極活物質層が所定の幅を有するようにスリットして、寸法が約23mm×23mmの正極を作製した。
なお、このように作製した正極の活物質層上に、金属異物として直径200μm、厚み10μmのFe製の金属異物モデル粒子を付着させた。
上記調製した正極と負極とを用いて評価用のラミネートセルを構築した。すなわち、セパレータを間に介して、上記で作製した正極と負極とを、両電極の互いの活物質層が対向するように積層して電極体を作製した。なお、正極、負極それぞれのリチウム基準電位を計測するために、セパレータの負極側面に、ニッケルリードにリチウム金属箔を貼り付けた参照極を負極から離して設置した。セパレータとしては、ポリプロピレン/ポリエチレン/ポリプロピレン製の三層フィルム(PP/PE/PPフィルム)を用いた。
この電極体を非水電解液とともにラミネート製の袋状電池容器に収容し、封口して試験用リチウム二次電池を構築した。非水電解質(電解液)としては、エチレンカーボネート(EC)、ジメチルカーボネート(DMC)およびエチルメチルカーボネート(EMC)の3:3:4(体積比)混合溶媒に、リチウム塩としての1mol/LのLiPF6(LPFO)と、添加剤としての0.05mol/LのLi[B(C2O4)2]を溶解させたものを用いた。なお、使用した電解液量は0.025mlで、電解液の含浸時間は5時間とした。
かかる評価用の小型ラミネートセルの容量は、3.7mAhである。
上記で構築した評価用の小型ラミネートセルに対して、下記の条件で微小充電工程を施した。すなわち、0.015mA(0.004C)で正負極間電圧が0.8Vとなる条件までCC充電を行い、正負間電圧を保ったまま全微小充電時間が10時間となるまでCV充電を行った。この微小充電工程における電位挙動を図2~4に示した。
微小充電工程後の評価用セルを分解し、光学顕微鏡を用いて正極、負極およびセパレータの両面の表面を観察した。なお、図7A~図7Dは、それぞれ微小充電後のA:正極の表面の観察画像、B:セパレータの正極側表面の観察画像、C:負極表面の観察画像、およびD:セパレータの負極側表面の観察画像である。これらの観察結果から、微小充電を行うことで、正極上に配設したFe製の金属異物モデル粒子がほぼ全て溶解していること、該モデル粒子は溶解後にセパレータの正極側表面にうっすらと析出しているのが確認できるが、セパレータ負極側表面および負極表面への析出は確認できなかった。
したがって、初回コンディショニング工程後の自己放電検査において、鉄の金属異物による短絡の可能性はないと考えられるため、検査時間を数時間(例えば、5時間程度)に短縮することが可能となる。なお、かかる微小充電工程においては継続的な充電を行うが、実際の充電量は極少量であるため、充電用の電源としては、例えば、ボタン電池や乾電池等による電圧が利用可能なレベルである。これらのことから、微小充電工程における継続的な充電によるコストの増加は、これにより得られる効果から見て相殺して余りあるものであるといえる。
上記と同様にして、評価用の小型ラミネートセルを構築した。得られた評価用の小型ラミネートセルに対して、下記の条件で微小充電工程を施した。すなわち、0.015mA(0.004C)で正負極間電圧が0.8Vとなる条件までCC充電を行い、正負間電圧を保ったまま全微小充電時間が10時間となるまでCV充電を行った。なお、微小充電工程を行うに際し、環境温度を21℃~29℃の間で変化させ、セルの拘束圧を約0.04MPa(無拘束)~0.85MPaの間で変化させた。各条件においてサンプル数n=10で試験を行った。
環境温度は、微小充電工程を各試験温度に設定した恒温槽の中で実施することで調製した。ラミネートセルの拘束力は、コイルスプリングを用いた拘束治具を用い、ラミネートセルの電極表面に垂直な方向に圧力を加えることで調製した。なお、ラミネートセルに実際に加えた拘束圧力は、拘束治具に取り付けたひずみゲージから算出した。
微小充電工程後の評価用セルを分解し、光学顕微鏡を用いて正極に残存するFe製金属異物モデル粒子の量を調べることにより、上記の微小充電工程により溶解された金属異物の溶解量を算出した。その結果を、図8および図9に示した。図8および図9は同一のデータ基づいたプロットであるが、図8は溶解量と環境温度との関係を示し、図9は溶解量と拘束圧の関係を示したものである。図8および図9において、マーカーは平均値(n=10)を示し、バーはデータのバラつきを示している。
なお、目視での輪郭識別による投影面積のバラつきを評価するために、同一のモデル粒子画像について5回、投影面積の算出を行った。その結果、標準偏差1σは約30~100μm2であり、10セル(n=10)間の溶解量の標準偏差1σである3000~5000μm2と比較して十分に無視できるほど小さいことを確認した。なお、このようなセル間の溶解量のバラつきは、電極への金属異物モデル粒子の埋め込み状態や、電解液の触れ方などの、「金属異物モデル粒子の混入状態」に起因するバラつきであると考えられる。
一方で、環境温度が25℃以下の範囲では、拘束圧によって溶解量に大きな影響がみられる場合があることが確認できた。例えば、環境温度が25℃から22℃に低下すると、0.42MPa以上の拘束圧がある場合は溶解量が半減することがわかる。
また、例えば、22℃で、0.2MPaの拘束圧がある二次電池に対する微小充電工程においては、例えば、充電維持時間を20時間に延長することで、より確実に金属異物の無害化を行えることがわかる。
以上、本発明を好適な実施形態により説明してきたが、こうした記述は限定事項ではなく、勿論、種々の改変が可能である。
