Secondary batteries are an energy source that can be reused through charging, and are used as large-capacity power storage batteries such as electric vehicles and ESS (Energy Storage Systems) and small-sized energy sources in electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and vacuum cleaners. The secondary battery market has expanded rapidly with the development of electric vehicle technology, and in order to respond to the increased carbon tax and CO2 emissions management as environmental issues have recently emerged, the direction is to lower carbon emissions throughout the entire process of secondary battery production, use, and disposal.

If the pore diameter is 0.05 μm, it is undesirable because it is difficult for the conductive material to directly contact the surface of the active material particle. If it exceeds 2 μm, the adhesion between the binder and the active material particle may be excessively low, which is undesirable.
또한, 상기 바인더가 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드(PVdF), 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드-헥사플루오로프로필렌의 코폴리머(PVdF-HFP), 폴리비닐리덴플루오라이드-테트라플루오로에틸렌의 코폴리머(PVdF-TFE), 폴리비닐피롤리디논(polyvinyl pyrrolidinone), 폴리에틸렌옥사이드(polyethyleneoxide), 폴리에틸렌글리콜(polyethyleneglycol), 폴리아크릴로니트릴(polyacrylonitrile), 폴리비닐클로라이드(polyvinylchloride), 폴리메틸메타크릴레이트(polymethylmethacrylate), 폴리프로필렌옥사이드(polypropyleneoxide), 폴리디메틸실록산(polydimethylsiloxane), 폴리비닐리덴카보네이트(polyvinylidenecarbonate), 니트릴부타디엔러버(NBR, nitrile butadiene rubber) 및 이들의 조합으로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 1종 이상을 포함할 수 있고, 바람직하게는 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드(PVdF), 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드-헥사플루오로프로필렌의 코폴리머(PVdF-HFP), 폴리비닐리덴플루오라이드-테트라플루오로에틸렌의 코폴리머(PVdF-TFE) 및 이들의 조합으로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 1종 이상을 포함할 수 있고, 보다 바람직하게는 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드(PVdF)를 포함할 수 있다.In addition, the binder is polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVdF-HFP), polyvinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (PVdF-TFE) ), polyvinyl pyrrolidinone, polyethyleneoxide, polyethyleneglycol, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinylchloride, polymethylmethacrylate, polypropylene It may include at least one selected from the group consisting of polypropyleneoxide, polydimethylsiloxane, polyvinylidenecarbonate, nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), and combinations thereof, and preferably is polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVdF-HFP), polyvinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (PVdF-TFE), and these It may include one or more types selected from the group consisting of combinations, and more preferably may include polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF).

Additionally, the size of the positive electrode active material may be 1 to 20 μm, preferably 3 to 10 μm. If the size of the positive active material is less than 3 μm, it is undesirable because the overall surface area increases and a larger amount of binder is needed to maintain adhesion, and if it exceeds 10 μm, it is undesirable because it is difficult to form a uniform electrode. don't do it
또한, 상기 양극 활물질이 리튬니켈코발트망간계 산화물(NCM), 리튬철인산염계 산화물(lithium iron phosphate, LiFePO4), 리튬니켈코발트알루미늄계 산화물(NCA), 리튬코발트계 산화물(LiCoO2), 리튬니켈계 산화물(LiNiO2) 및 리튬망간계 산화물(LiMn2O4)로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 1종 이상을 포함할 수 있다.In addition, the positive electrode active material is lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ), lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA), lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2 ), lithium It may include one or more types selected from the group consisting of nickel-based oxide (LiNiO 2 ) and lithium manganese-based oxide (LiMn 2 O 4 ).

도 2는 본 발명 하나의 실시예에 따라 바인더-활물질 입자 복합체를 제조하는 과정을 나타낸 개략도이다.Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the process of manufacturing a binder-active material particle composite according to one embodiment of the present invention.
도 2를 참고하면, 본 발명은 (a) 양극 활물질, 바인더 및 용매를 혼합하여 혼합용액을 제조하는 단계; 및 (b) 상기 혼합용액을 비용매에 첨가하여 비용매유도 상분리(nonsolvent induced phase separation, NIPS)를 유도하여 바인더-활물질 입자 복합체를 제조하는 단계;를 포함하고, 상기 용매는 상기 바인더를 용해시키고, 상기 비용매는 상기 바인더를 용해시키지 않는 것인, 바인더-활물질 입자 복합체의 제조방법을 제공한다.Referring to Figure 2, the present invention includes the steps of (a) mixing a positive electrode active material, a binder, and a solvent to prepare a mixed solution; and (b) adding the mixed solution to a non-solvent to induce nonsolvent induced phase separation (NIPS) to prepare a binder-active material particle composite, wherein the solvent dissolves the binder and , wherein the non-solvent does not dissolve the binder, providing a method for producing a binder-active material particle composite.
또한, 상기 혼합용액이 상기 용매 100 중량부를 기준으로 상기 바인더 0.5 내지 2 중량부를 포함할 수 있다. 상기 바인더가 0.5 중량부 미만일 경우 활물질 표면에 바인더가 균일하게 코팅되지 않을 수 있어 바람직하지 않고, 2 중량부를 초과할 경우 활물질 입자 간 뭉침 현상이 발생할 수 있어 바람직하지 않다. Additionally, the mixed solution may include 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of the binder based on 100 parts by weight of the solvent. If the binder is less than 0.5 parts by weight, it is undesirable because the binder may not be uniformly coated on the surface of the active material. If it exceeds 2 parts by weight, agglomeration between active material particles may occur, which is undesirable.
또한, 상기 용매가 디메틸설폭사이드(DMSO), 디메틸아세트아미드(DMAC) 및 디메틸포름아미드(DMF)로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 1종 이상을 포함할 수 있고, 바람직하게는 디메틸 설폭사이드를 포함할 수 있다.In addition, the solvent may include one or more selected from the group consisting of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylacetamide (DMAC), and dimethylformamide (DMF), and preferably includes dimethyl sulfoxide. .

In addition, the non-solvent may contain 300 to 2,000 parts by weight, preferably 500 to 1,500 parts by weight, and more preferably 800 to 1,200 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the mixed solution. If the non-solvent is less than 300 parts by weight, solvent-non-solvent exchange does not occur sufficiently, making it difficult to form a porous shell containing a binder on the surface of the positive electrode active material, which is undesirable, and if it exceeds 2,000 parts by weight, the concentration during electrostatic spraying is low, so it is difficult to form a porous shell containing a binder on the surface of the positive electrode active material. This is undesirable because it takes a long time and is inefficient.
또한, 상기 비용매가 물, 에탄올, n-프로판올, iso-프로판올, 헥세인 및 n-헥세인으로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 1종 이상을 포함할 수 있고, 바람직하게는 물 및 에탄올을 포함할 수 있다.

도 3은 본 발명 하나의 실시예에 따라 리튬이차전지용 양극을 제조하는 과정을 나타낸 개략도이다.Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing the process of manufacturing a positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 3을 참고하면, 본 발명은 (1) 양극 활물질, 바인더 및 용매를 혼합하여 혼합용액을 제조하는 단계; (2) 상기 혼합용액을 비용매에 첨가하여 비용매유도 상분리를 통해 바인더-활물질 입자 복합체를 포함하는 제1 혼합물을 제조하는 단계; (3) 상기 제1 혼합물에 도전재를 분산시켜 제2 혼합물을 제조하는 단계; (4) 상기 제2 혼합물을 집전체 상에 정전분무하여 코팅하는 단계; 및 (5) 제2 혼합물이 코팅된 상기 집전체를 압연하여 양극을 제조하는 단계;를 포함하는 양극의 제조방법을 제공한다.Referring to Figure 3, the present invention includes the steps of (1) mixing a positive electrode active material, a binder, and a solvent to prepare a mixed solution; (2) adding the mixed solution to a non-solvent to prepare a first mixture including a binder-active material particle complex through non-solvent induced phase separation; (3) preparing a second mixture by dispersing a conductive material in the first mixture; (4) coating the second mixture on a current collector by electrostatic spraying; and (5) manufacturing a positive electrode by rolling the current collector coated with the second mixture.
또한, 상기 단계 (4)가 건식 공정으로 수행될 수 있다.Additionally, step (4) may be performed as a dry process.
또한, 상기 정전분무가 5 내지 30 V의 전압으로 수행될 수 있다. 상기 정전분무가 5 V 미만의 전압으로 수행될 경우 집전체에 잔류 용매가 존재할 수 있어 바람직하지 않고, 30 V를 초과할 경우 정전분무 시 안정적인 분무 속도의 유지가 어려워질 수 있어 바람직하지 않다.Additionally, the electrostatic spraying may be performed at a voltage of 5 to 30 V. If the electrostatic spraying is performed at a voltage of less than 5 V, it is undesirable because residual solvent may exist in the current collector, and if the electrostatic spraying is performed at a voltage of less than 30 V, it is undesirable because it may become difficult to maintain a stable spray speed during electrostatic spraying.
또한, 상기 압연이 20 내지 150 ℃로 가열된 롤프레스를 사용하여 수행될 수 있다. 상기 압연이 20 ℃ 미만으로 가열된 롤프레스를 사용하여 수행될 경우 집전체에 잔류 용매가 존재할 수 있어 바람직하지 않고, 150 ℃를 초과할 경우 바인더가 열화될 수 있어 바람직하지 않다.Additionally, the rolling may be performed using a roll press heated to 20 to 150°C. If the rolling is performed using a roll press heated to less than 20°C, it is undesirable because residual solvent may exist in the current collector, and if it exceeds 150°C, it is undesirable because the binder may deteriorate.
또한, 상기 압연이 1 내지 20 mm/s의 속도로 수행될 수 있다. 상기 압연이 1 mm/s 미만의 속도로 수행될 경우 전극 형성 시 지나치게 많은 시간이 소요되어 비효율적이므로 바람직하지 않고, 20 mm/s를 초과하면 전극의 결함이 발생할 수 있어 바람직하지 않다.Additionally, the rolling may be performed at a speed of 1 to 20 mm/s. If the rolling is performed at a speed of less than 1 mm/s, it is undesirable because it takes too much time to form the electrode and is inefficient, and if it exceeds 20 mm/s, it is undesirable because defects in the electrode may occur.
