Definitions
- the present invention relates to a negative electrode active material for secondary batteries, a method for producing the same, and a secondary battery using the negative electrode active material for secondary batteries.
- secondary batteries such as non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries have high voltage and high energy density, so they are expected to be used as power sources for small consumer applications, power storage devices, and electric vehicles.
- secondary batteries With the demand for higher energy densities in secondary batteries, the use of materials containing silicon that alloys with lithium is expected as a negative electrode active material with a high theoretical capacity density.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a negative electrode material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having negative electrode active material particles, wherein the negative electrode active material particles contain a silicon compound represented by SiOx (0.5 ⁇ x ⁇ 1.6). However, the silicon compound contains a Li compound on the surface or inside, and the negative electrode active material particles have a coating layer made of an organic polymer that coats the surface of the silicon compound. .
- one aspect of the present invention includes composite particles having a matrix and a silicon phase dispersed in the matrix, the composite particles being coated with a coating layer, the coating layer comprising:
- the present invention relates to a negative electrode active material for secondary batteries, which is a mixture of a carbon material and a fluorine-containing material.
- Another aspect of the present invention includes the steps of: obtaining composite particles having a matrix and a silicon phase dispersed in the matrix; coating the composite particles with a carbon material to form a coating layer; a step of mixing the composite particles with the coating layer formed thereon with a fluorine-containing organic polymer powder to obtain a mixture; and a step of impregnating a fluorine-containing organic polymer.
- Still another aspect of the present invention comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, wherein the negative electrode includes a current collector and a negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode
- the present invention relates to a secondary battery in which an active material layer contains the negative electrode active material for a secondary battery.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a negative electrode active material for a secondary battery (silicate composite particles) according to one embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a partially cutaway secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention
- any of the illustrated lower limits and any of the illustrated upper limits can be arbitrarily combined as long as the lower limit is not greater than or equal to the upper limit. .
- a plurality of materials one of them may be selected and used alone, or two or more may be used in combination.
- the present disclosure encompasses a combination of matters described in two or more claims arbitrarily selected from the multiple claims described in the attached claims. In other words, as long as there is no technical contradiction, the matters described in two or more claims arbitrarily selected from the multiple claims described in the attached claims can be combined.
- Secondary batteries include at least non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries such as lithium-ion batteries, and all-solid-state batteries.
- a negative electrode active material for a secondary battery includes composite particles having a matrix and a silicon phase dispersed in the matrix.
- the composite particles are coated with a coating layer.
- the coating layer is a mixture of carbon material and fluorine-containing material.
- This composite particle has a sea-island structure in which the silicon phase (silicon particles), which are islands, are dispersed in the matrix, with the matrix serving as the sea. It is possible to increase the capacity by controlling the amount of silicon particles dispersed in the matrix, and since the silicon phase is dispersed in the matrix, the stress associated with the expansion and contraction of the silicon phase during charging and discharging is controlled by the matrix.

工程(i)(リチウムシリケートを得る工程)
リチウムシリケートの原料には、Siを含む原料と、Li原料とを所定の割合で含む原料混合物を用いる。原料混合物に、上述の元素Mを含ませてもよい。上記原料を所定量混合した混合物を溶解し、融液を金属ロールに通してフレーク化してリチウムシリケートを作製する。その後フレーク化したシリケートを大気雰囲気で、ガラス転移点以上、融点以下の温度で熱処理により結晶化させる。なおフレーク化したシリケートは結晶化させずに使用することも可能である。また所定量混合した混合物を溶解せずに、融点以下の温度で焼成して固相反応によりシリケートを製造することも可能である。
リチウムシリケート内には、Li原料と反応しなかったSi原料が残存し得る。残存するSi原料は、酸化シリコンの微細結晶として、リチウムシリケート内に分散している。
次に、リチウムシリケートに原料シリコンを配合して複合化が行われる。例えば、以下の工程(a)~(c)を経て、複合粒子が作製される。
まず、原料シリコンの粉末とリチウムシリケートの粉末とを、例えば、20:80~95:5の質量比で混合する。原料シリコンには、平均粒径が数μm~数十μm程度のシリコンの粗粒子を用いればよい。
次に、ボールミルのような粉砕装置を用いて、原料シリコンとリチウムシリケートの混合物を微粒子化しながら粉砕および複合化する。このとき、混合物に有機溶媒を添加して、湿式粉砕してもよい。所定量の有機溶媒を粉砕初期に一度に粉砕容器に投入してもよく、粉砕過程で所定量の有機溶媒を複数回に分けて間欠的に粉砕容器に投入してもよい。有機溶媒は、粉砕対象物の粉砕容器の内壁への付着を防ぐ役割を果たす。
次に、粉砕物を、ホットプレス等で圧力を印加しながら焼成して焼結体を得る。焼成は、例えば、不活性雰囲気(例えば、アルゴン、窒素等の雰囲気)中で行われる。焼成温度は、450℃以上、1000℃以下であることが好ましい。上記温度範囲である場合、結晶性が低いシリケート相内に微小なシリコン粒子を分散させやすい。焼結時に、リチウムシリケートが軟化し、シリコン粒子間の隙間を埋めるように流動する。その結果、シリケート相を海部とし、シリコン粒子を島部とする緻密なブロック状の焼結体を得ることができる。焼成温度は、好ましくは550℃以上、900℃以下であり、より好ましくは650℃以上、850℃以下である。焼成時間は、例えば、1時間以上、10時間以下である。
工程(i)および工程(ii)により、シリケート相をマトリクスとし、マトリクス中に分散しているシリコン相を有する複合粒子が得られる。
次に、シリケート複合粒子の表面の少なくとも一部を、炭素材料で被覆して導電層を形成する。炭素材料としては、例えば、石炭ピッチもしくはコールタールピッチ、石油ピッチ、フェノール樹脂等を用い得る。導電性材料の原料と複合粒子とを混合し、混合物を焼成して導電性材料の原料を炭化させることで、複合粒子の表面の少なくとも一部を覆う被覆層が形成される。
続いて、複合粒子をフッ素含有有機高分子の粉末と混合し、混合物を得る。その後、混合物をフッ素含有有機高分子の融点以上、フッ素含有有機高分子の分解温度以下の温度で熱処理し、被覆層の内部にフッ素含有有機高分子を拡散、浸透させる。これにより、炭素材料とフッ素含有材料との混合体で構成された被覆層が形成される。フッ素含有有機高分子としてポリフッ化ビニリデン(PVdF)を用いる場合、熱処理温度は、PVdFの融点(150℃~170℃)以上であって分解温度である340℃以下であればよく、例えば200℃~250℃が好ましい。熱処理は、不活性ガス雰囲気下で行えばよい。熱処理時間は、例えば1~3時間程度であればよい。熱処理後の混合物を解砕することにより、炭素材料とフッ素含有材料との混合体で構成された被覆層が形成された複合粒子が得られる。熱処理により、ポリフッ化ビニリデンはポリエン化し、-CH2-CF2-構造の少なくとも一部が-CH=CF-構造に変化し得る。
負極は、例えば、負極集電体と、負極集電体の表面に形成され、かつ負極活物質を含む負極合剤層とを具備する。負極合剤層は、負極合剤を分散媒に分散させた負極スラリーを、負極集電体の表面に塗布し、乾燥させることにより形成できる。乾燥後の塗膜を、必要により圧延してもよい。負極合剤層は、負極集電体の一方の表面に形成してもよく、両方の表面に形成してもよい。
正極は、例えば、正極集電体と、正極集電体の表面に形成された正極合剤層とを具備する。正極合剤層は、正極合剤を分散媒に分散させた正極スラリーを、正極集電体の表面に塗布し、乾燥させることにより形成できる。乾燥後の塗膜を、必要により圧延してもよい。正極合剤層は、正極集電体の一方の表面に形成してもよく、両方の表面に形成してもよい。
電解質は、溶媒と、溶媒に溶解したリチウム塩を含む。電解質におけるリチウム塩の濃度は、例えば、0.5~2mol/Lである。電解質は、公知の添加剤を含有してもよい。
通常、正極と負極との間には、セパレータを介在させることが望ましい。セパレータは、イオン透過度が高く、適度な機械的強度および絶縁性を備えている。セパレータとしては、微多孔薄膜、織布、不織布などを用いることができる。セパレータの材質としては、例えば、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンなどのポリオレフィンが用いられ得る。
[シリケート複合粒子の調製]
Li原料として炭酸リチウム(Li2CO3)と、Si原料として二酸化ケイ素(SiO2)と、を所定の比率で混合し、混合物を不活性ガス雰囲気中で800℃で10時間焼成し、リチウムシリケートを得た。得られたリチウムシリケートは平均粒径10μmになるように粉砕した。
シリケート複合粒子と黒鉛とを5:95の質量比で混合し、負極活物質として用いた。負極活物質と、カルボキシメチルセルロースナトリウム(CMC-Na)と、スチレン-ブタジエンゴム(SBR)とを、97.5:1:1.5の質量比で含む負極合剤に水を添加して攪拌し、負極スラリーを調製した。次に、銅箔の表面に1m2当りの負極合剤の質量が190gとなるように負極スラリーを塗布し、塗膜を乾燥後、圧延して、銅箔の両面に密度1.5g/cm3の負極合剤層が形成された負極を作製した。

エチレンカーボネート(EC)とジエチルカーボネート(DEC)とを3:7の体積比で含む混合溶媒にLiPF6を1.0mol/L濃度で溶解して非水電解液を調製した。
各電極にタブをそれぞれ取り付け、タブが最外周部に位置するように、セパレータを介して正極および負極を渦巻き状に巻回することにより電極群を作製した。電極群をアルミニウムラミネートフィルム製の外装体内に挿入し、105℃で2時間真空乾燥した後、非水電解液を注入し、外装体の開口部を封止して、二次電池(非水電解質二次電池)A1を得た。
