Problems solved by technology

[0006] On the other hand, to improve the safety performance of non-aqueous electrolytes, non-flammable and non-volatile electrolytic solutions are being studied, but they have not been practically used yet because they can deteriorate output properties, low-temperature performance, and long-life performance
In addition, when mounted on a vehicle or the like, it is difficult for a lithium-ion battery to replace a lead storage battery mounted on an engine room of a vehicle, and there is a problem of high-temperature durability
[0007] In Li-ion batteries, if the thickness of the negative electrode is reduced to increase the density in order to increase output and capacity, the current collector has insufficient strength so that battery capacity, output performance, cycle life, and reliability may be significantly limited
In addition, if the particle size of the negative electrode active material is increased instead of decreasing the thickness of the negative electrode, the interfacial resistance of the electrode increases, which makes it more difficult to develop high-performance
Specifically, at low temperatures (such as -20°C or lower), the utilization of active materials decreases and discharge is difficult

[0021] In a negative electrode including titanium-containing oxide particles having an average secondary particle diameter of less than 5 μm, reductive decomposition of the nonaqueous electrolyte proceeds at high temperature (for example, 70° C. or higher). Therefore, the negative electrode has secondary cycle life performance at high temperature. If the average particle diameter of the secondary particles containing titanium oxide particles is increased to more than 5 μm, thereby suppressing reductive decomposition of the nonaqueous electrolyte at high temperature, when increasing the pressing force during the manufacture of the negative electrode to increase the negative electrode density (or negative electrode filling Density) when the secondary particles are easy to break. If the secondary particles are broken, many conductive paths between the primary particles in the secondary particles are broken, so that the electronic resistance of the negative electrode increases. I...

[0107] The average secondary particle diameter of the negative electrode active material is 8 μm and the Li absorption potential is 1.55 V (relative to Li / Li + ) Lithium titanate (Li 4 / 3 Ti 5 / 3 o 4 ) powder, carbon powder with an average particle size of 0.4 μm as a conductive agent, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) as a binder are mixed in a weight ratio of 90:7:3, and the mixture is dispersed in n-methyl Pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent to prepare slurry.

[0108] The secondary particle and primary particle sizes of the active material are measured using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer (manufactured by Shimadzu Co., Ltd., model SALD-300) and an electron microscope. First, about 0.1 g of a sample is placed in, for example, a beaker, a surfactant and 1 to 2 mL of distilled water are added and stirred well, and poured into a stirring water bath. Using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer, the light intensity distribution was ...
