本発明の一実施形態に係る非水電解質二次電池用負極(以下、単に「二次電池用負極」ともいう。)は、アルカリ金属またはアルカリ土類金属を吸蔵可能なケイ素またはスズを含む合金系材料(A)と、炭素粒子(B)と、カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)と、直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)と、を少なくとも含む負極合材層を有する。上記二次電池用負極は、集電体をさらに有してもよい。上記二次電池用負極の構造は、適用する非水電解質二次電池の用途に合わせて適宜選択することができ、たとえば、シート状の集電体と、上記集電体の両面に配置された負極合材層とからなる積層体などとすることができる。上記二次電池用負極は、リチウムイオンキャパシタなどのキャパシタの電極としても利用することができる。
負極合材層は、合金系材料(A)、炭素粒子(B)、カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)、および直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)を少なくとも含む。
合金系材料(A)は、アルカリ金属またはアルカリ土類金属を吸蔵可能なケイ素またはスズを構成元素に含む材料であり、負極活物質として機能する(アルカリ金属類の吸蔵および放出が可能な)材料である。合金系材料(A)は、プレドープによりアルカリ金属類との複合体となるが、電池の放電によってアルカリ金属類が放出された後などは、アルカリ金属類を実質的に含んでいなくてもよい。
真比重は、上記のようにして秤量した各質量W1、W2、W3、およびW4から、以下のように算出できる。
真比重={(W2-W1)×s}/{(W2-W1)-(W3-W4)}
ここで、sは、25℃におけるn-ブタノールの比重である。
炭素粒子(B)は、黒鉛材料を含有する粒子であり、負極活物質として機能する(アルカリ金属類の吸蔵および放出が可能な)材料である。
カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)は、負極合材層において、結着剤として機能するポリマーである。負極合材層に含まれるカルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)の量は、負極合材層の全質量に対して4質量%以上13質量%以下であり、5質量%以上10質量%以下であることが好ましく、5質量%以上8質量%以下であることがより好ましい。カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)の量が4質量%以上であると、カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)によるプレドープ量の増大効果が十分に奏される。一方で、カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)の量が13質量%以下であると、プレドープにより吸蔵されるアルカリ金属類の量がより多くなるため、上記二次電池用負極を有する非水電解質二次電池の初回充放電効率を高めて、エネルギー密度を高めることができる。その理由は定かではないが、カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)の量が13質量%以下であると、カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)が活物質である合金系材料(A)や炭素粒子(B)を完全に被覆せず、合金系材料(A)や炭素粒子(B)が一部露出することで、活物質にアルカリ金属類がプレドープされやすくなると推察される。上記カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)の量は、負極合材層作製時の仕込み量や、電気化学分析法、蛍光X線分析法、イオンクロマトグラフィー、ICP質量分析法、および原子吸光光度法などによって算出することができる。また、結着剤が溶解する溶媒中に電極を浸漬して溶解し、溶媒除去後の残渣の重量を測定することで、結着剤を定量することができる。
直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)は、負極活物質である合金系材料(A)および炭素材料(B)をプレドープする際に触媒として機能する化合物である。直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)は、アルカリ金属類のプレドープの際に、負極合材層に導入される。そのため、負極合材層が直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)を含むことは、負極がアルカリ金属類のイオンおよび触媒を含有する溶液への浸漬によりプレドープされたことを意味する。
1)負極合材層中の直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)を、ガスクロマトグラフィ(GC)にて特定する。そして、特定した直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)の濃度が異なる液体試料を複数準備し、後述する測定条件でガスクロマトグラフィ(GC)測定を行い、検量線を得る。
2)次いで、測定対象となる負極合材層を、バイアル瓶に入れ、そこに直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)が可溶な抽出溶媒1mLを加えて、30分間浸漬する。このバイアルを超音波洗浄機VS-D100(アズワン製)にセットし、上記バイアルに24kHzおよび31kHzの複合周波を3分間照射する。
3)得られた抽出溶媒をガスクロマトグラフィ(GC)にて分析し、前述の検量線と照合して抽出溶媒中の直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)を定量する。
ガスクロマトグラフィ(GC)は、例えば以下の条件で行うことができる。
測定装置名:Agilent 7890A/5975C GC/MSD
カラム:Agilent J&W HP-5MS 長さ60m、内径0.25mm、膜厚0.25μm
加熱条件:40℃(3分保持)-20℃/分で昇温-300℃(14分保持)
キャリアガス:ヘリウム
検出器:MSD(質量選択型検出器)
本発明の負極の負極合材層は、導電助剤(E)をさらに含んでもよい。このような導電助剤(E)としては、非水電解質二次電池内において化学変化を起こさないものであれば特に限定されず、例えば、アスペクト比が10以上である炭素繊維、カーボンブラック(サーマルブラック、ファーネスブラック、チャンネルブラック、ケッチェンブラック、アセチレンブラックなど)、金属粉(銅、ニッケル、アルミニウム、銀などの粉末)、金属繊維、ポリフェニレン誘導体などの材料を用いることができる。
負極合材層の厚みは特に制限されず、例えば5μm以上であることが好ましく、より好ましくは10μm以上である。また、負極合材層の厚みは、200μm以下とすることが好ましく、より好ましくは100μm以下、さらに好ましくは75μm以下である。負極合材層の厚みが上記範囲であると、高い充放電レートでの充放電に対しても、吸蔵および放出の機能可能なアルカリ金属類の量が十分に多くなる。
負極の集電体の材質は、ケイ素および/またはケイ素合金、スズおよびその合金、ケイ素-銅合金、銅、ニッケル、ステンレス鋼、ニッケルメッキ鋼などの金属材料や、カーボンクロス、カーボンペーパーなどの炭素材料などでありうる。
本発明の一実施形態に係る非水電解質二次電池用負極の製造方法は、集電体上に、合金系材料(A)、炭素粒子(B)、およびカルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)を含む活物質含有層を、直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)の存在下でアルカリ金属類と接触させて、合金系材料(A)や炭素粒子(B)にアルカリ金属類をプレドープし、負極合材層を有する二次電池用負極を形成する工程を含む。本発明の非水電解質二次電池用負極の製造方法には、活物質含有層を形成する工程を含んでもよい。またさらに、上記得られた二次電池用負極から不純物を除去する工程などを含んでもよい。以下、各工程について、説明する。
活物質含有層は、前述の合金系材料(A)、炭素粒子(B)、カルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)、導電助剤などを溶媒に分散させて、負極合材ペーストとし、これを集電体に塗布して得られる。負極合材ペーストの塗布後、必要に応じて溶媒を除去するなどして、負極合材ペーストを乾燥・固化させることで、活物質含有層が得られる。
前述の合金系材料(A)、炭素粒子(B)、およびカルボン酸塩含有ポリマー(C)を少なくとも含む活物質含有層と、アルカリ金属類とを直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)の存在下で接触させて、前述の活物質含有層にアルカリ金属類をプレドープする。つまり、プレドープされた負極合材層を有する負極を得る。直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)の存在下、アルカリ金属類と上記活物質含有層とを接触させる方法は特に制限されないが、アルカリ金属類および直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)が溶解した溶液中に上記活物質含有層を浸漬させて、溶液中でこれらを接触させることが好ましい。ここで、溶液中に溶解させるアルカリ金属類は、合金系材料(A)が吸蔵可能なものであればよい。
本工程では、前述の工程で得られた二次電池用負極を、直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)が可溶な溶媒中に浸漬して、前記二次電池用負極が有する負極合材層から直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)を除去する。本工程によって、直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)を除去することで、上記二次電池用負極中の不純物が少なくなり、非水電解質二次電池の安定性が高まる。なお、直鎖ポリフェニレン化合物(D)は前記負極合材層から完全に除去されることはなく、少なくとも上述した量が負極合材層の中に残留する。
本発明の一実施形態に係る非水電解質二次電池は、正極、上述した二次電池用負極、および電解液を含む。上記正極、負極および電解液の少なくともいずれかには、アルカリ金属類が含有されている。上記非水電解質二次電池では、負極がプレドープされているため、「正極が有する正極活物質の容量から算出されるアルカリ金属類のモル量」より、「満充電時の二次電池用負極に含まれるアルカリ金属類の合計モル量」が多い。「正極活物質の容量から算出されるアルカリ金属類のモル量」、「満充電時の負極に含まれるアルカリ金属類の合計モル量」、および「負極へプレドープされたアルカリ金属類の量」は以下の方法で検証することができる。
上記正極は非水電解質二次電池の用途に合わせて適宜選択することができ、たとえば、シート状の集電体と、上記集電体の両面に配置された正極合材層とからなる積層体などとすることができる。
正極合材層は、正極活物質が、正極用結着剤(正極用結着剤)で結着された層でありうる。正極活物質は、前記二次電池用負極が負極合材層に有する合金系材料(A)が吸蔵および放出可能なアルカリ金属類の吸蔵および放出が可能な材料であれば限定されず、非水電解質二次電池に通常用いられる正極活物質を利用することができる。具体的には、上記アルカリ金属類がリチウムの場合は、リチウム-マンガン複合酸化物(LiMn2O4など)、リチウム-ニッケル複合酸化物(LiNiO2など)、リチウム-コバルト複合酸化物(LiCoO2など)、リチウム-鉄複合酸化物(LiFeO2など)、リチウム-ニッケル-マンガン複合酸化物(LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2など)、リチウム-ニッケル-コバルト複合酸化物(LiNi0.8Co0.2O2など)、リチウム-ニッケル-コバルト-マンガン複合酸化物、リチウム-遷移金属リン酸化合物(LiFePO4など)、およびリチウム-遷移金属硫酸化合物(LixFe2(SO4)3)などが挙げられる。
正極の集電体としては、通常、アルミニウム、ステンレス鋼、ニッケルメッキ、チタン、タンタルなどの金属材料や、カーボンクロス、カーボンペーパーなどの炭素材料などを用いることができる。これらのうち、金属材料が好ましく、アルミニウムが特に好ましい。集電体の形状は、集電体が金属材料からなる場合、箔状、円柱状、コイル状、板状、薄膜状でありうる。上記集電体はメッシュ状などであってもよく、エキスパンドメタル、パンチメタル、発泡メタルなどからなるものであってもよい。一方、集電体が炭素材料からなる場合、その形状は、板状、薄膜状、円柱などとすることができる。中でも、金属薄膜が、現在工業化製品に使用されているため好ましい。
上述の正極は、前述の正極活物質や正極用結着剤またはその前駆体、および導電助剤などを溶媒に分散させて、正極合材ペーストとし、これを集電体に塗布して得られる。正極合材ペーストの塗布後、必要に応じて溶媒を除去したり、正極用結着剤の前駆体を反応させたりすることによって、正極合材ペーストを乾燥・固化させる。正極合材ペーストの塗布方法や固化方法などは、負極の形成方法と同様でありうる。
本発明の非水電解質二次電池の電解液は、非水系溶媒に上記アルカリ金属類の塩を溶解させた非水系電解液でありうる。また、この非水系電解液に有機高分子化合物などを添加して、ゲル状、ゴム状、固体シート状にしたものなどでもありうる。
正極と前記二次電池用負極との間には、セパレータが含まれてもよい。セパレータが含まれると、電極間の短絡が防止される。セパレータは、多孔膜や不織布などの多孔性体とすることができる。セパレータの空孔率は、電子やイオンの透過性、セパレータの素材などに応じて適宜設定されるが、30%以上80%以下であることが好ましい。
非水電解質二次電池の形態は特に制限されない。非水電解質二次電池の形態の例には、シート電極およびセパレータをスパイラル状にしたシリンダータイプ、ペレット電極およびセパレータを組み合わせたインサイドアウト構造のシリンダータイプ、ペレット電極およびセパレータを積層したコインタイプなどが含まれる。また、これらの形態の電池を任意の外装ケースに収めることにより、コイン型、円筒型、角型、パウチ型などの任意の形状としてもよい。
非水電解質二次電池は、前記二次電池用負極と、正極などとを、電池の構造に応じて適切な手順で組み立てることにより製造できる。一例を挙げると、外装ケース上に上記二次電池用負極を乗せ、その上に電解液とセパレータを設け、更に負極と対向するように正極を乗せて、ガスケット、封口板と共にかしめて製造することができる。
