- Cooling after heating may be natural cooling, but it is preferable that the cooling time from the specified temperature to room temperature is within 10 hours or more and 50 hours or less. However, cooling to room temperature is not necessarily required, and cooling to a temperature that the next step allows is sufficient.

- the composite oxide may be produced by the coprecipitation method.
- a composite oxide may also be produced by a hydrothermal method.
- step S15 the composite oxide is heated. Since the composite oxide is first heated, the heating in step S15 may be called initial heating. After initial heating, the surface of the composite oxide becomes smooth.
- smooth surface means that the surface is less uneven, the complex oxide is overall rounded, and the corners are rounded. Furthermore, a state in which there are few foreign substances adhering to the surface is called smooth. Foreign matter is considered to cause unevenness, and it is preferable that foreign matter does not adhere to the surface of the composite oxide.

- the energy associated with the differential shrinkage gives differential internal stress to the composite oxide.
- the difference in internal stress is also called strain, and the energy is sometimes called strain energy. It is considered that the internal stress is removed by the initial heating in step S15, and in other words the strain energy is homogenized by the initial heating in step S15. When the strain energy is homogenized, the strain of the composite oxide is relaxed. Therefore, the surface of the composite oxide may become smooth after step S15. It is also called that the surface has been improved by step S15. In other words, after step S15, the shrinkage difference occurring in the composite oxide is relaxed, and the surface of the composite oxide becomes smooth.

- the additive element X does not exist or its concentration is below the detection limit.
- cations are arranged parallel to the (001) plane.
- the luminance of the transition metal M having the highest atomic number among LiMO 2 is the highest. Therefore, in the HAADF-STEM image, the arrangement of atoms with high brightness can be considered as the arrangement of atoms of the transition metal M.

- Fluorine is a monovalent anion, and if part of the oxygen in the surface layer portion 100a is substituted with fluorine, the lithium desorption energy is reduced. This is because the change in the valence of cobalt ions due to desorption of lithium changes from trivalent to tetravalent when fluorine is not present, and from divalent to trivalent when fluorine is present, resulting in different oxidation-reduction potentials. Therefore, it can be said that when a part of oxygen is substituted with fluorine in the surface layer portion 100a of the positive electrode active material 100, desorption and insertion of lithium ions in the vicinity of fluorine easily occur.

本実施の形態では、本発明を実施する一形態である正極活物質の作製方法について説明する。
<ステップS11>
図1Aに示すステップS11では、出発材料(出発原料とも記す)であるリチウム材料、および遷移金属の材料として、それぞれリチウム源(図中Li源と記す)および遷移金属源(図中M源と記す)を準備する。
次に、図1Aに示すステップS12として、リチウム源および遷移金属源を粉砕および混合して、混合材料(混合物とも記す)を作製する。粉砕および混合は、乾式または湿式で行うことができる。湿式はより小さく粉砕することができるため好ましい。湿式で行う場合は、溶媒を準備する。溶媒としてはアセトン等のケトン、エタノールおよびイソプロパノール等のアルコール、エーテル、ジオキサン、アセトニトリル、又はN−メチル−2−ピロリドン(NMP)等を用いることができる。リチウムと反応が起こりにくい、非プロトン性溶媒を用いることがより好ましい。本実施の形態では、純度が99.5%以上の脱水アセトン又は超脱水アセトンを用いることとする。水分含有量を10ppm以下まで抑えた、純度が99.5%以上の超脱水アセトンにリチウム源および遷移金属源を混合して、粉砕および混合を行うと好適である。上記のような純度の脱水アセトン又は超脱水アセトンを用いることで、混合材料中に混入しうる不純物を低減することができる。
次に、図1Aに示すステップS13として、上記混合材料を加熱する。加熱は、800℃以上1100℃以下で行うことが好ましく、900℃以上1000℃以下で行うことがより好ましく、950℃程度がさらに好ましい。温度が低すぎると、リチウム源および遷移金属源の分解および溶融が不十分となるおそれがある。一方温度が高すぎると、リチウム源からリチウムが蒸散又は昇華する、および/または遷移金属源として用いる金属が過剰に還元される、などが原因となり欠陥が生じるおそれがある。当該欠陥とは、たとえば遷移金属としてコバルトを用いる場合、過剰に還元されるとコバルトが3価から2価へ変化することで誘発された酸素欠陥などである。
以上の工程により、図1Aに示すステップS14で、LiMO2(複合酸化物、又は遷移金属を有する複合酸化物)を得ることができる。LiMO2で表したが、複合酸化物はリチウム複合酸化物の結晶構造を有すればよく、その組成が厳密にLi:M:O=1:1:2に限定されるものではない。遷移金属としてコバルトを用いた場合、コバルトを有する複合酸化物と称し、LiCoO2として表される。組成については厳密にLi:Co:O=1:1:2に限定されるものではない。
次に、図1Aに示すステップS15として、上記複合酸化物を加熱する。複合酸化物に対する最初の加熱のため、ステップS15の加熱を初期加熱と呼ぶことがある。初期加熱を経ると、複合酸化物の表面がなめらかになる。表面がなめらかとは、凹凸が少なく、複合酸化物が全体的に丸みを帯び、さらに角部が丸みを帯びる様子をいう。さらに、表面へ付着した異物が少ない状態をなめらかと呼ぶ。異物は凹凸の要因となると考えられ、複合酸化物の表面に付着しない方が好ましい。
層状岩塩型の結晶構造をとりうる範囲で、表面がなめらかな複合酸化物に添加元素Xを加えてもよい。表面がなめらかな複合酸化物に添加元素Xを加えると、添加元素Xをムラなく添加することができる。よって、初期加熱後に添加元素Xを添加する順が好ましい。添加元素Xを添加するステップについて、図1B、および図1Cを用いて説明する。
図1Bに示すステップS21では、複合酸化物に添加する添加元素源(X源)を用意する。添加元素源(X源)と合わせて、リチウム源を準備してもよい。
次に、図1Bに示すステップS22では、マグネシウム源およびフッ素源を粉砕および混合する。本工程は、ステップS12で説明した粉砕および混合の条件から選択して実施することができる。
次に、図1Bに示すステップS23では、上記で粉砕、混合した材料を回収して、添加元素源(X源)を得ることができる。なお、ステップS23に示す添加元素源(X源)は、複数の出発材料を有するものであり、混合物と呼ぶことができる。
図1Bとは異なる工程について図1Cを用いて説明する。図1Cに示すステップS21では、複合酸化物に添加する添加元素源(X源)を4種用意する。すなわち図1Cは図1Bとは添加元素源の種類が異なる。添加元素源(X源)と合わせて、リチウム源を準備してもよい。
次に、図1Cに示すステップS22およびステップS23は、図1Bで説明したステップと同様である。
次に、図1Aに示すステップS31では、複合酸化物と、添加元素源(X源)とを混合する。リチウム、遷移金属および酸素を有する複合酸化物中の遷移金属の原子数AMと、添加元素Xが有するマグネシウムの原子数AMgとの比は、AM:AMg=100:y(0.1≦y≦6)であることが好ましく、AM:AMg=100:y(0.3≦y≦3)であることがより好ましい。
次に、図1AのステップS32において、上記で混合した材料を回収し、混合物903を得る。回収の際、必要に応じて解砕した後にふるいを実施してもよい。
次に、図1Aに示すステップS33では、混合物903を加熱する。ステップS13で説明した加熱条件から選択して実施することができる。加熱時間は2時間以上が好ましい。
次に、図1Aに示すステップS34では、加熱した材料を回収し、必要に応じて解砕して、正極活物質100を得る。このとき、回収された粒子をさらに、ふるいにかけると好ましい。以上の工程により、本発明の一形態の正極活物質100を作製することができる。本発明の一形態の正極活物質は表面がなめらかである。
次に、本発明を実施する一形態であって、正極活物質の作製方法1とは異なる方法について説明する。
層状岩塩型の結晶構造をとりうる範囲で、複合酸化物に添加元素Xを加えてもよいことは上述した通りであるが、本作製方法2では添加元素Xを2回以上に分けて、添加元素X1、X2として添加するステップについて、図3Aも参照しながら説明する。
図3Aに示すステップS21では、第1の添加元素源を準備する。第1の添加元素源としては、図1Bに示すステップS21で説明した添加元素Xの中から選択して用いることができる。たとえば、添加元素X1としては、マグネシウム、フッ素、およびカルシウムの中から選ばれるいずれか一または複数を好適に用いることができる。図3Aでは添加元素X1として、マグネシウム源(Mg源)、およびフッ素源(F源)を用いる場合を例示する。
次に、ステップS33で加熱した材料を回収し、添加元素X1を有する複合酸化物を作製する。ステップS14の複合酸化物と区別するため、本ステップの複合酸化物に序数を付して第2の複合酸化物と記すことがある。
図2に示すステップS40では、第2の添加元素源(X2源)を添加する。図3Bおよび図3Cも参照しながら説明する。
図3Bに示すステップS41では、第2の添加元素源を準備する。第2の添加元素源としては、図1Bに示すステップS21で説明した添加元素Xの中から選択して用いることができ、好ましくは添加元素X1とは異ならせる。たとえば、添加元素X2としては、ニッケル、チタン、ホウ素、ジルコニウム、およびアルミニウムの中から選ばれるいずれか一または複数を好適に用いることができる。図3Bでは添加元素X2として、ニッケル、およびアルミニウムを用いる場合を例示する。
次に、図2に示すステップS51乃至ステップS54は、図1Aに示すステップS31乃至ステップS34と同様の条件にて行うことができる。加熱工程に関するステップS53の条件はステップS33より低い温度且つ短い時間でよい。以上の工程により、ステップS54では、本発明の一形態の正極活物質100を作製することができる。
本実施の形態では、図4乃至図14を用いて本発明の一態様の正極活物質について説明する。
コバルト酸リチウム(LiCoO2)などの層状岩塩型の結晶構造を有する材料は、放電容量が高く、二次電池の正極活物質として優れることが知られている。層状岩塩型の結晶構造を有する材料としてたとえば、LiMO2で表される複合酸化物が挙げられる。
図10に示す正極活物質は、後述する作製方法にてフッ素およびマグネシウムが添加されないコバルト酸リチウム(LiCoO2)である。非特許文献1および非特許文献2等で述べられているように、コバルト酸リチウムの結晶構造は変化する。図10には、LixCoO2中のxによってコバルト酸リチウムの結晶構造が変化する様子を示す。
≪結晶構造≫
本発明の一態様の正極活物質100は、充電深度が高くなるような充放電の繰り返しにおいて、CoO2層のずれを小さくすることができる。具体的には、LixCoO2中のxが1の状態と、xが0.24以下の状態における結晶構造の変化が従来の正極活物質よりも少ない。より具体的には、xが1の放電状態と、xが0.24以下の充電状態におけるCoO2層のずれを小さくすることができる。さらに、コバルト原子あたりで比較した場合の体積の変化を小さくすることができる。よって本発明の一態様の正極活物質100は、xが0.24以下になるような充放電を繰り返しても結晶構造が崩れにくく、優れたサイクル特性を実現することができる。また、本発明の一態様の正極活物質100は、LixCoO2中のxが0.24以下の状態において従来の正極活物質よりも安定な結晶構造を取り得る。よって、本発明の一態様の正極活物質は、LixCoO2中のxが0.24以下の状態を保持した場合において、二次電池のショートが生じづらい場合がある。そのような場合には二次電池の安全性がより向上するため、好ましい。
マグネシウムは本発明の一態様の正極活物質100全体に分布していることが好ましいが、これに加えて表層部100aのマグネシウム濃度が、正極活物質100全体の平均よりも高いことが好ましい。または、表層部100aのマグネシウム濃度が、内部100bの濃度よりも高いことが好ましい。たとえば、XPS(X線光電子分光)等で測定される表層部100aのマグネシウム濃度が、ICP−MS等で測定される正極活物質100全体の平均のマグネシウム濃度よりも高いことが好ましい。または、EDX(エネルギー分散型X線分析法)面分析等で測定される表層部100aのマグネシウム濃度が、内部100bのマグネシウム濃度よりも高いことが好ましい。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質100が有する添加元素は、上記で説明した分布に加え、一部は図4Aに示すように結晶粒界101およびその近傍に偏析していることがより好ましい。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質100の粒径は、大きすぎるとリチウムの拡散が難しくなる、集電体に塗工したときに活物質層の表面が粗くなりすぎる、等の問題がある。一方、小さすぎると、集電体への塗工時に活物質層を担持しにくくなる、電解液との反応が過剰に進む等の問題点も生じる。そのため、メディアン径(D50)が、1μm以上100μm以下が好ましく、2μm以上40μm以下であることがより好ましく、5μm以上30μm以下がさらに好ましい。または1μm以上40μm以下が好ましい。または1μm以上30μm以下が好ましい。または2μm以上100μm以下が好ましい。または2μm以上30μm以下が好ましい。または5μm以上100μm以下が好ましい。または5μm以上40μm以下が好ましい。
ある正極活物質が、多くのリチウムが脱離したときO3’型の結晶構造を示す本発明の一態様の正極活物質100であるか否かは、多くのリチウムが脱離した正極活物質を有する正極を、XRD、電子線回折、中性子回折、電子スピン共鳴(ESR)、核磁気共鳴(NMR)等を用いて解析することで判断できる。特にXRDは、正極活物質が有するコバルト等の遷移金属の対称性を高分解能で解析できる、結晶性の高さおよび結晶の配向性を比較できる、格子の周期性歪みおよび結晶子サイズの解析ができる、二次電池を解体して得た正極をそのまま測定しても十分な精度を得られる、等の点で好ましい。
ある複合酸化物が、本発明の一態様の正極活物質100であるか否かを判断するための高電圧充電は、たとえば対極リチウムでコインセル(CR2032タイプ、直径20mm高さ3.2mm)を作製して充電することができる。

本発明の一態様の正極活物質100は、充電していくとき特徴的な電圧の変化が表れることがある。電圧の変化は、充電曲線の容量(Q)を電圧(V)で微分(dQ/dV)することで得られるdQ/dVvsV曲線から読み取ることができる。たとえばdQ/dVvsV曲線におけるピークの前後では、非平衡な相変化が起き、結晶構造が大きく変わっていると考えられる。なお本明細書等において、非平衡な相変化とは、物理量の非線形変化を起こす現象をいうこととする。
また、本発明の一態様の正極活物質100は、高電圧で充電した後、たとえば0.2C以下の低いレートで放電すると、放電終了間近に特徴的な電圧の変化が表れることがある。この変化は、放電曲線から求めたdQ/dVにおいて、3.9V前後に出現するピークよりも低電圧で、3.5Vまでの範囲に、少なくとも1つのピークが存在することで明瞭に確かめることができる。
XPSでは、表面から、2nm乃至8nm程度(通常5nm以下)の深さまでの領域の分析が可能である。表層部100aにおいて上記深さの領域までの各元素の濃度を定量的に分析することができる。また、ナロースキャン分析をすれば元素の結合状態を分析することができる。なおXPSの定量精度は多くの場合±1原子%程度、検出下限は元素にもよるが約1原子%である。
測定装置 :PHI 社製QuanteraII
X線源 :単色化Al(1486.6eV)
検出領域 :100μmφ
検出深さ :約4~5nm(取出角45°)
測定スペクトル :ワイドスキャン,各検出元素のナロースキャン
上述したように本発明の一態様の正極活物質では、遷移金属Mとしてコバルトおよびニッケルを有し、添加元素としてマグネシウムを有することが好ましい。その結果一部のCo3+がNi2+に置換され、また一部のLi+がMg2+に置換されることが好ましい。Li+がMg2+に置換されることに伴い、当該Ni2+は還元されて、Ni3+になる場合がある。また、一部のLi+がMg2+に置換され、それに伴いMg2+近傍のCo3+が還元されてCo2+になる場合がある。また、一部のCo3+がMg2+に置換され、それに伴いMg2+近傍のCo3+が酸化されてCo4+になる場合がある。
EPMA(電子プローブ微小分析)は元素の定量分析が可能である。面分析ならば各元素の分布を分析することができる。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質100は、表面がなめらかで凹凸が少ないことが好ましい。表面がなめらかで凹凸が少ないことは、表層部100aにおける添加元素の分布が良好であることを示す一つの要素である。

充放電サイクル試験の充放電レートを0.5Cとして、サンプル1−1およびサンプル1−2の放電容量維持率を測定した。充放電レート以外の条件は、レート1Cのときと同様にした。
次に、サンプル1−1に対して、25℃環境下で、4.6V、4.65V及び4.7Vの電圧になるまでの充電時のレートを0.5Cに固定し、放電時のレートを0.2C、0.5C、1C、2C、3C、4C、5C、および0.2Cと順に変動させて、放電容量を測定した。当該測定をレート特性と記すことがある。なお、各レートに対する放電容量の測定は、2回ずつ実施した。

次にフルセルを組み立ててサイクル特性を評価した。フルセルによるサイクル特性評価により二次電池の性能を把握することができる。
温度特性の測定を行った。単位面積あたりの正極活物質の担持量として約5mg/cm2の正極を用いたハーフセルについて、評価を行った。
まずエージングとして、充放電を2回行った。エージングは環境温度25℃で行った。1回目の充電として、上限電圧まで0.1Cの定電流充電を行った後、下限を0.01Cとして定電圧充電を行った。1回目の充電の後、1回目の放電として、下限電圧を2.5Vとして、0.1Cで定電流放電を行った。2回目の充電として、上限電圧まで0.5Cの定電流充電を行った後、下限を0.05Cとして定電圧充電を行った。2回目の充電の後、2回目の放電として、下限電圧を2.5Vとして、0.5Cで定電流放電を行った。なお、充電の上限電圧は、温度特性を取得する際の上限電圧と合わせた。
