Benefits of technology

The goal of this patent is to make a new type of battery that has more of the active material in the positive electrode and stronger, which will result in a bigger battery capacity. This will be done by using a special method that involves mixing different materials in a special way to make the battery work better.

Problems solved by technology

However, a binder, a conductive additive, and the like do not contribute to a battery reaction (insertion and extraction of lithium ions into / from an electrode in the case of a lithium secondary battery).

embodiment 1

[0045]In this embodiment, an example of a positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B and FIG. 2.

[0046]FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional view of an example of a positive electrode 301, and FIG. 1B is a top view thereof. In the positive electrode 301, a positive electrode active material layer 201 is provided over a current collector 101. The positive electrode active material layer 201 includes a positive electrode active material 102 and a reaction mixture 103 where reduced graphene oxide and a polymer having a functional group as a side chain are bonded to each other.

[0047]In the positive electrode 301, the reaction mixture 103 functions as a binder. As for the bond between the reduced graphene oxide and the polymer having the functional group as the side chain in the reaction mixture 103, a covalent bond is preferable because of its high bonding strength. Note that a polymer in this s...

embodiment 2

[0061]In this embodiment, an example of a method for manufacturing a positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery of one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0062]First, a method for forming graphene oxide will be described. Graphene oxide can be formed by an oxidation method called a modified Hummers method. A modified Hummers method is as follows: a sulfuric acid solution of potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide water, or the like is mixed into single crystal graphite powder to cause oxidation reaction; thus, a suspension containing graphite oxide is formed. Then, the graphite oxide is cleaved to form a dispersion containing graphene. The graphite oxide has a functional group such as an epoxy group, a carbonyl group, a carboxyl group, or a hydroxy group due to the oxidation of carbon in graphite. By transmitting ultrasonic vibration to the suspension containing graphite oxide, the graphite oxide whose interlayer distance is long can be cleaved to separa...

embodiment 3

[0095]In this embodiment, an example of a lithium secondary battery of one embodiment of the present invention and an example of a manufacturing method thereof will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

[0096]FIG. 3A is an external view of a coin-type (single-layer and flat) lithium secondary battery, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view thereof.

[0097]In a coin-type lithium secondary battery 6000, a positive electrode can 6003 doubling as a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode can 6001 doubling as a negative electrode terminal are insulated from each other and sealed by a gasket 6002 made of polypropylene or the like. As in the above description, a positive electrode 6010 includes a positive electrode current collector 6008 and a positive electrode active material layer 6007 provided in contact with the positive electrode current collector 6008. A negative electrode 6009 includes a negative electrode current collector 6004 and a negative electrode active ma...

Abstract

The positive electrode active material layer includes a plurality of particles of a positive electrode active material and a reaction mixture where reduced graphene oxide is bonded to a polymer having a functional group as a side chain. The reduced graphene oxide has a sheet-like shape and high conductivity and thus functions as a conductive additive by being in contact with the plurality of particles of the positive electrode active material. The reaction mixture serves as an excellent binder since the reduced graphene oxide is bonded to the polymer. Therefore, even a small amount of the reaction mixture where the reduced graphene oxide is covalently bonded to the polymer excellently serves as a conductive additive and a binder.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a positive electrode for a secondary battery and a manufacturing method thereof.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In recent years, portable devices such as smartphones and portable game consoles have become widespread. Further, with growing interest in environmental issues, hybrid cars and electric cars have attracted attention; thus, secondary batteries typified by lithium secondary batteries have gained in importance.[0005]A secondary battery basically has a structure in which an electrolyte is provided between a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Typically, a positive electrode and a negative electrode each include a current collector and an active material provided over the current collector. In the case of a lithium secondary battery, a material into / from which lithium ions can be inserted and extracted is used as an active material for a positive electrode and ...
