Problems solved by technology

One of the reasons is considered to be that the active material expands and shrinks greatly during charging and discharging, and at this time, the active material is pulverized due to the stress generated, or the current collection performance is lowered due to the detachment of the active material from the current collector.

Embodiment 1

[0065] [Fabrication of electrodes using silicon as the active material by the cold jet method]

[0066] As the active material particles, crystalline silicon particles (average particle size: 2.5 μm) are used, and electrolytic copper foil (thickness: 35 μm, arithmetic average roughness Ra: 1.46 μm) is used as the current collector, and the silicon particles are impacted by the cold jet method. On the glossy side opposite to the roughened surface of the electrolytic copper foil, electrodes were produced. Specifically, using Figure 21 The cold-jet setup shown, with fabricated electrodes. Such as Figure 21As shown, a current collector 1 made of electrolytic copper foil was wound on a support plate 7 made of a copper plate with a thickness of 2 mm, and both ends were fixed with clips 6 . The current collector 1 is wound so that the glossy surface of the electrodeposited copper foil faces outward. The support plate 7 is used to prevent the current collector 1 from breaking du...

Embodiment 2

[0106] [Fabrication of electrodes using silicon as an active material by the cold jet method]

[0107] In order to make the silicon particles adhere to the rough surface side of the electrolytic copper foil, except that the rough surface of the copper foil is rolled on the support plate, the rest are the same as in Example 1, and the silicon particles are attached to the collector by the cold jet method. On the electric body, make electrodes.

[0108] Also in the electrode obtained in this example, the silicon particles were very strongly bonded to the current collector. Figure 9 and Figure 10 This is a cross-sectional view of the cross-section of the obtained electrode observed with FIB-SIM. From Figure 9 and Figure 10 It can be seen that silicon particles adhere along the asperities of the current collector. In the comparison between the protrusions and the recesses among the irregularities on the surface of the current collector, it is considered that more silicon ...

Embodiment 3

[0196] [Making electrodes using a mixture of silicon particles and tin particles by the cold jet method]

[0197] As described above, in Examples 1 and 2 in which only silicon particles were used as active material particles, it is considered that the silicon particles are accumulated in one layer on the copper foil, that is, the accumulation thickness is only the size of one silicon particle. This is considered to be because in the cold jet method, bonding between silicon particles is difficult to occur, and after the surface of the copper foil is actually covered with silicon particles, the newly impacted silicon particles fall off without adhering to the silicon particles. Therefore, by accumulating only one particle in the thickness direction, the amount of the active material attached to the current collector can be controlled by adjusting the particle diameter of the active material particle.

[0198] In addition, as other methods of adjusting the amount of the attached ...

Abstract

There is provided an electrode for a lithium secondary battery where particles, composed of an active material capable of occluding and releasing lithium, are arranged on a current collector, the active material particle being directly bonded to the surface of the current collector in a state where the bottom of the active material particle is imbedded in a concave portion formed on the surface of the current collector. A second particle layer may be provided on a first particle layer comprising the active material particles directly bonded to the surface of the current collector.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrode for a lithium secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery. Background technique [0002] In recent years, as one of new high-output and high-energy-density secondary batteries, a lithium secondary battery that uses a non-aqueous electrolyte solution to move lithium ions between a positive electrode and a negative electrode to perform charge and discharge has been used. [0003] Silicon is a material capable of absorbing and storing lithium through alloying, and since it has a large theoretical capacity, it has attracted attention as an electrode material for a lithium secondary battery that realizes high energy density. However, an electrode using silicon as an active material has a problem that it is inferior to carbon materials such as graphite in terms of cycle characteristics. One of the reasons is considered to be that the active material is greatly expanded and contracted during charging and di...
