[0096]

[0097] First, LiMn, which is an olivine Mn-based positive electrode active material, was synthesized as follows 0.8 Fe 0.2 PO 4 .

[0098] 14.4g NH 4 h 2 PO 4 , 5.55g LiOH·H 2 O, 17.9g MnC 2 o 4 2H 2 O and 4.50 g FeC 2 o 4 2H 2 O was mixed, dextrin was added thereto to make the dextrin 12% by mass, balls for pulverization made of zirconia were put into a tank made of zirconia, and mixed using a planetary ball mill. This mixed powder was put into an alumina crucible, and precalcined at 400° C. for 10 hours under an argon flow of 0.3 L / min. The obtained precalcined body was pulverized once with an agate mortar, put into an alumina crucible again, and main calcined at 700° C. for 10 hours under an argon flow of 0.3 L / min. After the main calcination, the obtained powder is crushed with an agate mortar, and the particle size is adjusted with a 45 μm mesh sieve to obtain the composition formula LiMn 0.8 Fe 0.2 PO 4 indicated material.

Abstract

A positive electrode for lithium secondary batteries and a lithium secondary battery are provided in which, by using an olivine Mn based positive-electrode active material and an optimal binder for the olivine Mn based positive-electrode active material, peel-off of the electrode and gelatinization of the slurry can be prevented, with large energy density, excellent in rate characteristic and cycle life. The positive electrode includes a positive-electrode composite including at least a positive-electrode active material and a binder; and a positive-electrode current collector. The positive-electrode active material includes a lithium composite oxide having an olivine-type structure, which is represented by the formula LiMnxM1-xPO4 (where 0.3<=x<=1 and M is one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Li, Fe, Ni, Co, Ti, Cu, Zn, Mg, and Zr) . The binder includes an acrylonitrile-based copolymer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery and the lithium secondary battery. Background technique [0002] As a positive electrode active material for lithium secondary batteries, lithium cobaltate is currently the mainstream, and lithium secondary batteries using it are widely used. However, cobalt, which is a raw material of lithium cobaltate, is scarce and expensive, and alternative materials are being studied. Lithium manganese oxide having a spinel structure mentioned as an alternative material has insufficient discharge capacity, and there has been a problem in eluting manganese at high temperatures. In addition, high-capacity lithium nickelate is expected to have problems in terms of thermal stability at high temperatures. [0003] For these reasons, olivine-type lithium phosphate, which has high thermal stability and excellent safety, is expected to be used as a positive electrode active material. ...
