Problems solved by technology

[0023] However, for the positive electrode active material disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-253174, since it is a hollow particle, it is expected to increase the specific surface area compared with the solid particle, but there is no description about the particle size.
Therefore, although the improvement of the reactivity with the electrolyte solution due to the increase in the specific surface area is expected, the effect of the micronization on the migration distance of the above-mentioned lithium ions is unclear, and sufficient output characteristics cannot be expected. improve
In addition, its particle size distribution is considered to be equivalent to that of conventional positive electrode active materials. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the selectivity of fine particles will deteriorate due to the unevenness of the applied voltage in the electrode, and the battery capacity will decrease.
[0024] As described above, a lithium composite oxide capable of sufficiently improving the performance of lithium-ion secondary batteries and a composite hydroxide as a raw material for the composite oxide have not been developed at the present stage.
In addition, although various studies have been made on the production method of composite hydroxide, a method capable of producing composite hydroxide as a raw material of composite oxide capable of sufficiently improving the performance of lithium-ion secondary batteries has not been developed on an industrial scale. method
That is, a positive electrode active material with high particle size uniformity and an appropriate particle size, especially a particle size of about 8 to 16 μm, has not been developed, and a positive electrode active material with a large reaction area, such as a hollow structure, has not been developed. , it is necessary to develop this positive electrode active material and its industrial manufacturing method

[0297] [Manufacture of nickel composite hydroxide]

[0298] (nucleation process)

[0299] Add 7.2 L of water to a baffled reaction tank with a capacity of 50 L capable of maintaining the environment in the tank, and flow nitrogen gas while stirring at 500 rpm with an inclined paddle-type stirring blade, thereby reducing the oxygen concentration in the environment in the reaction tank to less than 1% by volume, and adjusted the temperature in the tank to 40°C. Add an appropriate amount of 25% by mass sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and 25% by mass ammonia water to the reaction tank, adjust the pH value of the reaction solution in the tank under the liquid temperature standard of 25°C to be 12.6 and adjust the ammonia concentration to be 10g / L, thus forming a reaction pre-water solution.

Abstract

Provided are a cathode active material having a suitable particle size and high uniformity, and a nickel composite hydroxide as a precursor of the cathode active material. When obtaining nickel composite hydroxide by a crystallization reaction, nucleation is performed by controlling a nucleation aqueous solution that includes a metal compound, which includes nickel, and an ammonium ion donor so that the pH value at a standard solution temperature of 25 DEG C. becomes 12.0 to 14.0, after which, particles are grown by controlling a particle growth aqueous solution that includes the formed nuclei so that the pH value at a standard solution temperature of 25 DEG C. becomes 10.5 to 12.0, and so that the pH value is lower than the pH value during nucleation. The crystallization reaction is performed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at least in a range after the processing time exceeds at least 40% of the total time of the particle growth process from the start of the particle growth process where the oxygen concentration is 1 volume % or less, and with controlling an agitation power requirement per unit volume into a range of 0.5 kW / m3 to 4 kW / m3 at least during the nucleation process.
