Problems solved by technology

However, due to the high content of B, it is not possible to further increase the capacity
Since the active material is in the form of particles, the expansion and contraction of the Si part during the cycle tends to cause the disconnection of the conductive path with the current collector, and the cycle deterioration is not sufficiently improved.

Embodiment 1

[0339] As the target material, a mixture of Si and C (a disc having an area ratio of Si and C of about 100:9) was used. As a current collector substrate, use an average surface roughness (Ra) of 0.2 μm and a tensile strength of 280 N / mm 2 , 0.2% endurance is 220N / mm 2 , Electrolytic copper foil with a thickness of 18 μm. The active material thin film was formed for 45 minutes using a DC sputtering device ("HSM-52" manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) to obtain a thin film negative electrode.

[0340] Mount the current collector substrate on a water-cooled fixture, maintain it at about 25°C, and use an electric density of 4.7W / cm under the following atmospheric conditions 2 , The accumulation speed (film formation speed) is about 1.8nm / sec (0.108μm / min) for film formation, and the atmospheric condition is: depressurize the chamber to 4×10 -4 After Pa, high-purity argon gas of 40 sccm was passed through the chamber, and the opening degree of the main valve was adjusted so as...

Embodiment 2

[0387] An active material thin film was formed to form a thin film negative electrode in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the area ratio of Si and C in the target was changed to 100:2. At this time, film formation was performed at a deposition rate of about 2.3 nm / sec for 40 minutes.

[0388] From scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation of the thin film cross section of the obtained thin film negative electrode, it was found that the thickness of the formed thin film was 5 μm.

[0389] When the composition of the thin film was analyzed, the thin film contained 6 atomic % of element C, and its C concentration ratio Q(C) to the element C concentration in SiC was equivalent to 0.13. Atomic concentration ratio Si / C / O=1.00 / 0.07 / 0.08.

[0390] Calculate the Raman value of the film, no RC=c peak is detected, no RSC=sc peak is detected, RS=0.45.

[0391] The thin film was subjected to X-ray diffraction measurement, and no clear peak of SiC was detected, and XIsz=0...

Embodiment 3

[0395] An active material thin film was formed to produce a thin film negative electrode in the same manner as in Example 1, except that a target material obtained by sintering a mixture of Si particles and C particles was used. At this time, film formation was performed for 45 minutes at a deposition rate of approximately 1.7 nm / sec.

[0396] From scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation of the thin film cross section of the obtained thin film negative electrode, it was found that the thickness of the formed thin film was 5 μm.

[0397] Analysis of the composition of the thin film revealed that the thin film contained 30 atomic % of element C, and its C concentration ratio Q(C) to the concentration of element C in SiC was equivalent to 0.63. Atomic concentration ratio Si / C / O=1.00 / 0.45 / 0.06.

[0398] The Raman value of the film was obtained, RC=0.09, RSC=0.13, RS=0.59.

[0399] The thin film was subjected to X-ray diffraction measurement, and no clear peak of SiC was d...

Abstract

A negative electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of high performance that exhibits high discharge capacity and high charge / discharge efficiency in the initial stage and during the cycle operation, excelling in cycle characteristics, which electrode exhibits suppressed swelling after cycle operation. The negative electrode comprises an active material thin film of phase having elemental Z lying in Si in a nonequilibrium manner, the active material thin film composed mainly of a compound of the general formula SiZxMy (wherein Z, M, x and y satisfy the following requirements). The element Z is at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, C and N. The element M is at least one element, other than Si and the element Z, selected from the elements of Group 2, Group 4, Group 8, Group 9, Group 10, Group 11, Group 13, Group 14, Group 15 and Group 16 of the periodic table. x is such a value that with respect to the Z-concentration (p / (a+p)) of compound SiaZp (wherein a and p are integers) with composition closest to Si and being present in equilibrium, the Z-concentration ratio Q(Z) calculated by the formula Q(Z)=[x / (1+x)] / [p / (a+p)] is in the range of 0.10 to 0.95. y is a number satisfying the relationship 0<=y<=0.50.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a negative electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, a method for producing the same, and a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery using the negative electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. Background technique [0002] Compared with nickel-calcium and nickel-hydrogen batteries, non-aqueous solvent-based lithium secondary batteries with higher energy density are attracting attention. [0003] Graphite can be used as a negative electrode of a lithium secondary battery due to its excellent cycle characteristics, low electrode expansion, and low price. However, the negative electrode material formed of graphite has a limit of theoretical capacity of 372 mAh / g. Therefore, studies have been conducted on lithium with a large theoretical capacity and alloy-based anodes such as Si, Sn, and Al that form alloys. Si has a high capacity and is often used as a negative electrode. However, Si-ba...
