また、本発明のリチウムイオン二次電池用積層体の製造方法によれば、本発明の多孔膜セパレータの製造方法で製造された多孔膜セパレータを備えたリチウムイオン二次電池用積層体が得られる。
本発明の多孔膜セパレータの製造方法は、多孔膜用スラリー組成物をセパレータ基材の少なくとも片面に塗布し、乾燥して多孔膜を得る工程と、接着層用スラリー組成物を前記多孔膜上に塗布し、乾燥して接着層を得る工程を含む。本発明の多孔膜セパレータの製造方法では、前記の多孔膜用スラリー組成物及び接着層用スラリー組成物として、水を含むものを用いる。
多孔膜を得る工程では、多孔膜用スラリー組成物をセパレータ基材の少なくとも片面に塗布し、乾燥して多孔膜を得る。水を溶媒として含む従来のスラリー組成物を用いて形成された多孔膜は、一般に、水に容易に溶けやすいものであった。しかし、本発明に係る多孔膜用スラリー組成物を用いて形成した多孔膜は、水に溶け難い。したがって、この多孔膜上に、水を含む接着層用スラリー組成物を塗布しても、多孔膜は溶け難くなっている。
セパレータ基材は、リチウムイオン二次電池において電池の充放電を妨げることなく電極の短絡を防止しうる任意の部材を使用しうる。セパレータ基材としては、例えば、微細な孔を有する多孔性基材を用いうる。通常は、有機材料からなる多孔性基材(すなわち、有機セパレータ)を、セパレータ基材として用いる。セパレータ基材の具体例を挙げると、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等のポリオレフィン樹脂、芳香族ポリアミド樹脂などを含む微孔膜または不織布などが挙げられる。
多孔膜用スラリー組成物は、非導電性粒子、水溶性高分子化合物、水、並びに、アンモニア及びアミン化合物からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種類の低分子化合物(以下、適宜「低分子化合物X」と呼ぶことがある。)を含む。また、多孔膜用スラリー組成物は、バインダーを含むことが好ましい。
非導電性粒子としては、無機粒子を用いてもよく、有機粒子を用いてもよい。
水溶性高分子化合物は多孔膜において非導電性粒子同士を結着させる機能を有する。したがって、水溶性高分子化合物を含むことにより、多孔膜の強度を高めることができる。また、多孔膜から非導電性粒子が脱落することを防止することもできる。
また、水溶性高分子化合物は、多孔膜セパレータにおいて非導電性粒子とセパレータ基材とを結着させる機能を有する。したがって、多孔膜が水溶性高分子化合物を含むことにより、多孔膜とセパレータ基材との結着性を高めることができる。
さらに、水溶性高分子化合物は、通常、多孔膜用スラリー組成物において粘度調整剤として機能しうる。したがって、多孔膜用スラリー組成物が水溶性高分子化合物を含むことにより、多孔膜用スラリー組成物の塗布性を改善することができる。
マレイン酸エステルとしては、例えば、マレイン酸モノメチル、マレイン酸ジメチル、マレイン酸モノエチル、マレイン酸ジエチル、マレイン酸モノプロピル、マレイン酸ジプロピルなどが挙げられる。
マレイン酸塩としては、例えば、マレイン酸モノリチウム、マレイン酸ジリチウム、マレイン酸モノナトリウム、マレイン酸ジナトリウム、マレイン酸モノカリウム、マレイン酸ジカリウム等のマレイン酸のアルカリ金属塩;マレイン酸カルシウム、マレイン酸マグネシウム等のマレイン酸のアルカリ土類金属塩;マレイン酸モノアンモニウム、マレイン酸ジアンモニウム等のマレイン酸のアンモニウム塩;マレイン酸モノメチルアンモニウム、マレイン酸ビスモノメチルアンモニウム、マレイン酸モノジメチルアンモニウム、マレイン酸ビスジメチルアンモニウム等のマレイン酸のアルキルアミン塩;マレイン酸-2-ヒドロキシエチルアンモニウム、マレイン酸ビス-2-ヒドロキシエチルアンモニウム、マレイン酸ジ(2-ヒドロキシエチル)アンモニウム、マレイン酸ビスジ(2-ヒドロキシエチル)アンモニウム等のマレイン酸のアルカノールアミン塩;などが挙げられる。
また、これらは、1種類を単独で用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。
製法A:式(I-1)で表されるマレイミド類と、式(II-1)で表されるマレイン酸類又は式(II-2)で表される無水マレイン酸とを重合する方法。
製法B:式(II-1)で表されるマレイン酸類又は(II-2)で表される無水マレイン酸を重合した後に、そのマレイン酸類又は無水マレイン酸を重合して形成される構造単位の一部を、式(I-1)における基R2を有する化合物でマレアミック酸化し、さらにその一部を環化脱水(イミド化)する方法。
環化脱水反応では、イソブチレン-無水マレイン酸共重合体中の無水マレイン酸単位とアミノフェノールとが反応して生成したN-(ヒドロキシフェニル)マレアミック酸単位1モルから、水1モルが生成する。共沸溶媒の使用量は、前記の生成水を共沸除去するに足る量としうる。
上述した水溶性高分子化合物の中でも、カルボキシメチルセルロース及び式(I)で表される構造単位(a)を含むマレイミド-マレイン酸共重合体が好ましい。
また、水溶性高分子化合物は、1種類を単独で用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。
多孔膜用スラリー組成物は、アンモニア及びアミン化合物からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種類の低分子化合物Xを有する。前記の低分子化合物Xは、通常、多孔膜用スラリー組成物の膜を乾燥させる時に気化するので、多孔膜にはほとんど残留しない。しかし、前記の乾燥の際に低分子化合物Xが除去されることで何らかの作用が働き、多孔膜の耐水性が向上して、多孔膜が水に対して溶け難くなるものと考えられる。
多孔膜用スラリー組成物における水の量は、非導電性粒子、水溶性高分子化合物及び低分子化合物Xの種類に応じ、多孔膜用スラリー組成物の粘度が塗布に好適な範囲になるように調整することが好ましい。具体的には、前記の非導電性粒子、水溶性高分子化合物及び低分子化合物X、並びに必要に応じて用いられるバインダー及び任意の成分を合わせた固形分の濃度が、好ましくは20重量%以上、より好ましくは30重量%以上、また、好ましくは60重量%以下、より好ましくは50重量%以下となる量の水を用いる。
多孔膜用スラリー組成物は、バインダーを含むことが好ましい。バインダーを含むことにより、多孔膜の結着性が向上し、撒回時、運搬時等の取扱い時に多孔膜セパレータにかかる機械的な力に対する強度を向上させることができる。
(メタ)アクリル酸エステル単量体の例を挙げると、アクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エチル、アクリル酸n-プロピル、アクリル酸イソプロピル、アクリル酸n-ブチル、アクリル酸イソブチル、アクリル酸t-ブチル、アクリル酸n-アミル、アクリル酸イソアミル、アクリル酸n-ヘキシル、アクリル酸2-エチルヘキシル、アクリル酸-2-メトキシエチル、アクリル酸-2-エトキシエチル、アクリル酸ヘキシル、アクリル酸ノニル、アクリル酸ラウリル、アクリル酸ステアリル、ベンジルアクリレートなどのアクリレート;メタクリル酸メチル、メタクリル酸エチル、メタクリル酸プロピル、メタクリル酸イソプロピル、メタクリル酸n-ブチル、メタクリル酸イソブチル、メタクリル酸t-ブチル、メタクリル酸n-アミル、メタクリル酸イソアミル、メタクリル酸n-ヘキシル、メタクリル酸2-エチルヘキシル、メタクリル酸オクチル、メタクリル酸イソデシル、メタクリル酸ラウリル、メタクリル酸トリデシル、メタクリル酸ステアリル、ベンジルメタクリレートなどのメタアクリレート等が挙げられる。これらの中でも、アクリレートが好ましく、アクリル酸n-ブチルおよびアクリル酸2-エチルヘキシルが、多孔膜の強度を向上できる点で、特に好ましい。また、これらの単量体は、1種類を単独で用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。
また、架橋性単量体は、1種類を単独で用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。
多孔膜用スラリー組成物は、必要に応じて、上述したもの以外の任意の成分を含んでいてもよい。このような成分としては、電池反応に影響を及ぼさないものを用いうる。これらの成分としては、例えば、イソチアゾリン系化合物、キレート化合物、ピリチオン化合物、分散剤、レベリング剤、酸化防止剤、増粘剤、消泡剤、界面活性剤が挙げられる。また、電解液分解抑制等の機能を有する電解液添加剤も挙げられる。また、これらの成分は、1種類を単独で用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。
多孔膜用スラリー組成物は、通常、流体状となっている。多孔膜用スラリー組成物において、非導電性粒子は水に分散しており、前記の水溶性高分子化合物及び低分子化合物Xは水に溶解している。また、多孔膜用スラリー組成物では、通常、水溶性高分子化合物の一部は水中で遊離しているが、別の一部が非導電性粒子の表面に吸着することによって、非導電性粒子が水溶性高分子化合物の安定な層で覆われて、非導電性粒子の水中での分散性が向上している。このため、多孔膜用スラリー組成物は、セパレータ基材に塗布する際の塗工性が良好である。また、多孔膜用スラリー組成物がバインダーを含む場合、当該バインダーは水に溶解していてもよく、分散していてもよい。バインダーとして粒子状バインダーを用いる場合、通常は、バインダーは水に分散している。
多孔膜用スラリー組成物を用意した後で、多孔膜用スラリー組成物をセパレータ基材上に塗布する。これにより、多孔膜用スラリー組成物の膜がセパレータ基材上に形成される。
多孔膜用スラリー組成物の塗布方法に制限は無い。塗布方法の例を挙げると、ドクターブレード法、ディップ法、ダイコート法、リバースロール法、ダイレクトロール法、グラビア法、エクストルージョン法、ハケ塗り法などが挙げられる。
多孔膜用スラリー組成物の塗布量は、通常、所望の厚みの多孔膜が得られる範囲にする。
セパレータ基材上に多孔膜用スラリー組成物の膜を形成した後で、その膜を乾燥させる。乾燥により、多孔膜用スラリー組成物の膜から水が除去されて、多孔膜が得られる。また、乾燥の際には、低分子化合物Xの大部分は気化して多孔膜用スラリー組成物の膜から除去される。これにより、多孔膜の耐水性が顕著に向上し、当該多孔膜は水に溶け難くなる。
多孔膜を得る工程においては、上述した以外の任意の操作を行ってもよい。例えば、金型プレス及びロールプレス等のプレス方法によって、多孔膜に加圧処理を施してもよい。加圧処理を施すことにより、セパレータ基材と多孔膜との結着性を向上させることができる。ただし、過度に加圧処理を行うと、多孔膜の空隙率が損なわれる可能性があるため、圧力および加圧時間を適切に制御することが好ましい。また、残留水分除去のため真空乾燥やドライルーム内で乾燥することが好ましい。加熱処理することも好ましく、これによりバインダー内の熱架橋性基が架橋し、より結着力が向上する。
上述した工程を経ることにより、セパレータ基材上に多孔膜が形成される。この多孔膜は、非導電性粒子及び水溶性高分子化合物、並びに、必要に応じてバインダー及び任意の成分を含む。非導電性粒子、水溶性高分子化合物及びバインダーの量は、通常は、多孔膜用スラリー組成物に含まれていた量と同様になる。
また、多孔膜は、乾燥によって水が除去されているので、水分の含有量が少ない。したがって、水によるガス発生を抑制できるので、充放電による放電容量の低下を抑制できる。このため、リチウムイオン二次電池のサイクル特性を改善することが可能である。
接着層を得る工程では、接着層用スラリー組成物を前記多孔膜上に塗布し、乾燥して接着層を得る。この際、多孔膜は高い耐水性を有するので、水を含む接着層用スラリー組成物を塗布しても、多孔膜は溶け難くなっている。
接着層用スラリー組成物は、粒子状重合体及び水を含む。また、接着層用スラリー組成物は、バインダーを含んでいてもよい。
粒子状重合体としては、通常10℃以上、好ましくは30℃以上、より好ましくは40℃以上、また、通常110℃以下、好ましくは100℃以下、より好ましくは90℃以下のガラス転移温度を有する粒子状の重合体を用いる。粒子状重合体のガラス転移温度が前記範囲の下限値以上であることにより、多孔膜セパレータの保存時、運搬時及び取り扱い時において粒子状重合体の軟化を抑制して、ブロッキングを防止できる。また、ガラス転移温度が高い粒子状重合体を用いることにより、接着層の耐熱性が向上する。そのため、リチウムイオン二次電池の使用時に当該電池が高温となっても多孔膜セパレータの剥離を防止でき、電池の安全性を高めることができる。また、上限値以下であることにより、多孔膜セパレータを電極に貼り合せる際に、熱により粒子状重合体を容易に軟化させることができる。また、セパレータ基材等の電池を構成する要素を損なわない低温において接着層の熱融着が可能となる。したがって、熱プレスによる多孔膜セパレータと電極との接着を容易に行うことが可能となる。
中でも、粒子状重合体としては、アクリル酸エステル単量体を重合して形成される構造を有する構造単位(以下、適宜「アクリル酸エステル単量体単位」ということがある。)を含む重合体が好ましい。
アクリル酸エステル単量体としては、例えば、メチルアクリレート、エチルアクリレート、n-プロピルアクリレート、イソプロピルアクリレート、n-ブチルアクリレート、t-ブチルアクリレート、ペンチルアクリレート、ヘキシルアクリレート、ヘプチルアクリレート、オクチルアクリレート、2-エチルヘキシルアクリレート、ノニルアクリレート、デシルアクリレート、ラウリルアクリレート、n-テトラデシルアクリレート、ステアリルアクリレート等のアクリル酸アルキルエステルが挙げられる。これらは1種類だけを用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。
エチレン性不飽和カルボン酸単量体としては、例えば、エチレン性不飽和モノカルボン酸、エチレン性不飽和ジカルボン酸及びその酸無水物などが挙げられる。エチレン性不飽和モノカルボン酸の例としては、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸、クロトン酸などが挙げられる。エチレン性不飽和ジカルボン酸の例としては、マレイン酸、フマル酸、イタコン酸などが挙げられる。エチレン性不飽和ジカルボン酸の酸無水物の例としては、無水マレイン酸、アクリル酸無水物、メチル無水マレイン酸、ジメチル無水マレイン酸などが挙げられる。これらの中でも、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸等のエチレン性不飽和モノカルボン酸が好ましい。粒子状重合体の水に対する分散性がより高めることができるからである。これらは1種類だけを用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。
芳香族ビニル単量体としては、例えば、スチレン、α-メチルスチレン、ビニルトルエン、及びジビニルベンゼンが挙げられる。中でも、スチレンが好ましい。これらは、1種類を単独で用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。

接着層用スラリー組成物は、通常、流体状となっている。接着層用スラリー組成物において、粒子状重合体は水に分散している。また、バインダーは、水に分散していてもよく、溶解していてもよい。バインダーとして粒子状バインダーを用いる場合、通常は、バインダーは水に分散している。
接着層用スラリー組成物を用意した後で、接着層用スラリー組成物を多孔膜上に塗布する。これにより、接着層用スラリー組成物の膜が多孔膜上に形成される。
接着層用スラリー組成物の塗布方法に制限は無い。塗布方法の例を挙げると、ドクターブレード法、ディップ法、ダイコート法、リバースロール法、ダイレクトロール法、グラビア法、エクストルージョン法、ハケ塗り法などが挙げられる。
接着層用スラリー組成物の塗布量は、通常、所望の厚みの接着層が得られる範囲にする。
多孔膜上に接着層用スラリー組成物の膜を形成した後で、その膜を乾燥させる。乾燥により、接着層用スラリー組成物の膜から水が除去されて、接着層が得られる。
接着層を得る工程においては、上述した以外の任意の操作を行ってもよい。例えば、残留水分除去のため真空乾燥やドライルーム内で乾燥処理を行ってよいし、加熱処理を行ってもよい。
上述した工程を経ることにより、多孔膜上に接着層が形成され、多孔膜セパレータが得られる。この接着層は、粒子状重合体並びに必要に応じてバインダー及び任意の成分を含む。粒子状重合体及びバインダーの量は、通常は、接着層用スラリー組成物に含まれていた量と同様になる。

本発明の多孔膜セパレータの製造方法で製造される多孔膜セパレータは、セパレータ基材、多孔膜及び接着層をこの順に備える。これらのセパレータ基材、多孔膜及び接着層には電解液が浸透できるので、電池特性に対して多孔膜セパレータが悪影響を及ぼすことは無い。また、多孔膜が接着層用スラリー組成物に溶け出し難いため、多孔膜の強度及び結着性は良好である。したがって、多孔膜セパレータの電極に対する接着強度を高くできるので、リチウムイオン二次電池の安全性を向上させることができる。さらに、接着層に含まれる粒子状重合体は、多孔膜セパレータの通常の使用環境において軟化し難くなっている。そのため、多孔膜セパレータは優れた耐ブロッキング性を有する。
また、多孔膜及び接着層は、それぞれ、セパレータ基材の片面だけに設けてもよく、両面に設けてもよい。
本発明のリチウムイオン二次電池用積層体の製造方法は、電極と、本発明の多孔膜セパレータの製造方法で製造された多孔膜セパレータとを加圧接着することを含む。
電極は、通常、集電体と、集電体上に設けられた電極活物質層とを備える。

集電体は、電極活物質層との接着強度を高めるため、予め粗面化処理して使用するのが好ましい。粗面化方法としては、例えば、機械的研磨法、電解研磨法、化学研磨法などが挙げられる。機械的研磨法においては、例えば、研磨剤粒子を固着した研磨布紙、砥石、エメリバフ、鋼線などを備えたワイヤーブラシ等が使用されうる。
また、電極活物質層との接着強度や導電性を高めるために、集電体表面に中間層を形成してもよい。
電極活物質層は、電極活物質を含む。以下の説明においては、適宜、電極活物質の中でも特に正極用の電極活物質のことを「正極活物質」、負極用の電極活物質のことを「負極活物質」と呼ぶことがある。
また、例えば、鉄系酸化物を炭素源物質の存在下において還元焼成することで、炭素材料で覆われた複合材料を作製し、この複合材料を正極活物質として用いてもよい。鉄系酸化物は電気伝導性に乏しい傾向があるが、前記のような複合材料にすることにより、高性能な正極活物質として使用できる。
さらに、前記の化合物を部分的に元素置換したものを正極活物質として用いてもよい。
これらの正極活物質は、1種類だけを用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。
電極と多孔膜セパレータとを加圧接着することにより、リチウム二次電池用積層体が得られる。電極が電極活物質層を備える場合、通常は、電極の電極活物質層と多孔膜セパレータの接着層とが向き合うように電極と多孔膜セパレータとを重ねて、接着を行う。
本発明のリチウムイオン二次電池用積層体の製造方法においては、上述した工程に加えて、更に任意の工程を行ってもよい。
例えば、電極とセパレータを巻回または積層後、ラミネートフィルムに包埋し、電解液を注液し、セルを封した後にセルごと加圧して、電極とセパレータと接着してもよい。
上述した製造方法によって得られた多孔膜セパレータ又はリチウムイオン二次電池用積層体を用いることにより、リチウムイオン二次電池を製造しうる。このリチウムイオン二次電池は、正極、多孔膜セパレータ及び負極をこの順に備え、更に電解液を備える。このリチウムイオン二次電池は、多孔膜セパレータと電極との接着性が高く、また通常は多孔膜セパレータの耐熱性が高いので、高い安全性を有する。
また、電極としては、例えば、リチウムイオン二次電池用積層体の製造方法の項で説明したものを用いうる。
以下の説明において、量を表す「%」及び「部」は、別に断らない限り重量基準である。また、以下に説明する操作は、別に断らない限り、常温及び常圧の条件において行った。
