[0062] Effects of the Invention

[0063] The secondary battery using the negative electrode of the present disclosure has an improved battery life. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0064] Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail.

[0065] The present disclosure is a negative electrode having a coating layer formed of a fluorine-containing polymer having a specific composition. Such a coating layer can also improve the above-mentioned problems particularly appropriately compared with the coating layers described in the above-mentioned patent documents.

[0066] The negative electrode of the present disclosure has a coating layer formed of a fluoropolymer as described in detail below. Here, the coating of the fluoropolymer may be formed directly on the negative electrode material such as lithium metal, or the coating of the fluoropolymer may be formed on the current collector.

[0067] The negative electrode may be a negative electrode in which a coating of a fluoropolymer is directly formed on a negative electrode material mainly composed of a metal such as lithium metal (first embodiment), or a negative electrode in which a coating layer of a fluoropolymer is formed on a current collector (second embodiment).

[0068] The electrode having a structure in which a coating layer made of a fluoropolymer is formed on a current collector as described in the second aspect can also obtain the above-mentioned effects.

[0069] In the second embodiment, a negative electrode having a coating layer made of a fluoropolymer and not provided with a layer of a negative electrode material made of a metal is directly formed on the current collector as the negative electrode. In this case, when such a negative electrode is stacked with other layers constituting the battery such as a positive electrode and then charged, a metal layer of lithium metal or the like is formed on the current collector by the electrode reaction during charging. Such a metal layer is formed between the current collector and the fluoropolymer layer. That is, by charging, a negative electrode having a coating made of a fluoropolymer directly formed on a layer made of a metal such as lithium metal is formed, which is the same as the negative electrode of the first embodiment.

[0070] Therefore, the effects of the present disclosure are appropriately exerted.

[0071] It is presumed that the particularly suitable effect obtained by using the fluorinated polymer containing the vinylidene fluoride unit and the monomer unit (A) in the negative electrode of the present disclosure is based on the following effect: the interaction between the specific fluorinated polymer layer and lithium ions enables uniform metal deposition and suppresses the generation of dendrites.

[0072] Cited Documents 6 and 7 disclose the use of the same polymer in the field of batteries. These documents do not have a negative electrode in which a fluoropolymer is laminated on a metal layer, and therefore are significantly different from the present disclosure.

[0141] The glass transition temperature of the fluorinated elastomer is preferably 25°C or less. The glass transition temperature is more preferably 0°C or less. The glass transition temperature is further preferably -5°C or less, and most preferably -10°C or less. Furthermore, it can also be -20°C or less. Here, regarding the glass transition temperature, a differential scanning calorimeter (manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, X-DSC823e) is used. After cooling to -75°C, 10 mg of the sample is heated at 20°C / min to obtain a DSC curve, and the temperature of the intersection of the extended line of the baseline before and after the secondary transition of the DSC curve and the tangent line at the inflection point of the DSC curve is taken as the glass transition temperature.

[0142] The fluorinated elastomer is preferably amorphous. Amorphous means that there is no melting point peak in the DSC curve.

[0143] Such a low Tg, amorphous fluorinated elastomer is particularly preferred in that it is easily dissolved in a solvent, imparts flexibility to an electrode, and imparts easy processability.

[0144] The fluorine-containing elastomer is a copolymer composed of vinylidene fluoride units, the copolymer units, and other monomers copolymerizable therewith as required, preferably with a molar ratio of vinylidene fluoride units / copolymer units of 99.5 / 0.5 to 80 / 20, and other monomer units accounting for 0 to 15 mol% of all monomer units.

In addition, it is preferred to have 90 mol% to 99.999 mol% of the structural unit derived from vinylidene fluoride, more preferably 95 mol% to 99.75 mol%, and particularly preferably 96 mol% to 99.63 mol%. When the copolymerized unit is 0.01 mol% or more, the viscosity of the polymer solvent does not become too high, and it is possible to prevent the coating of the polymer solvent from becoming difficult.

[0149] The glass transition temperature of the fluoropolymer 1 is preferably 25°C or less. It is more preferably 0°C or less, further preferably -5°C or less, and most preferably -10°C or less. It can also be -20°C or less. Regarding the glass transition temperature, a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) device is used to increase the temperature from 30°C to 220°C at a rate of 10°C / min, then decrease the temperature to 30°C at 10°C / min, and increase the temperature to 220°C again at a rate of 10°C / min to obtain a DSC curve, and the temperature of the intersection of the extended line of the baseline before and after the secondary transition of the DSC curve and the tangent line at the inflection point of the DSC curve is taken as the glass transition temperature.

[0150] The Mooney viscosity of the fluoropolymer 1 at 121°C (ML1+10(121°C)) is preferably 2 or more, more preferably 5 or more, further preferably 10 or more, particularly preferably 30 or more.

[0153] The terminal structure of the fluoropolymer 1 preferably satisfies the following inequality:

[0154] 0.01≤([-CH2OH]+[-COOH]) / ([-CH3]+[-CF2H]+[-CH2OH]+[-CH2I]+[-OC(O)RH]+[-COOH])≤0.25

[0155] (wherein R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms).

[0156] More preferably, it is 0.03≤([-CH2OH]+[-COOH]) / ([-CH3]+[-CF2H]+[-CH2OH]+[-CH2I]+[-OC(O)RH]+[-COOH]≤0.20.

[0157] When the terminal functional group satisfies the above formula, the adhesiveness and flexibility become good, and excellent functions are obtained.

[0158] That is, [—CH 2 OH] and [—COOH] have a functional group such as a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group having high affinity, and therefore are preferred in terms of high affinity with the electrolyte solution.

[0159] Therefore, if these functional groups are contained in a certain ratio or more, it is preferred in terms of excellent adhesion. On the other hand, if the amount of [-CH2OH] and [-COOH] is excessive, the flexibility is reduced. From this aspect, it is preferred that [-CH2OH] and [-COOH] are within the above range.

[0160] It should be noted that satisfying the above general formula does not mean that the above fluoropolymer 1 has all the functional groups [-CH3], [-CF2H], [-CH2OH], [-CH2I], [-OC(O)RH], and [-COOH] at the end, but means that the number ratio of the terminal groups present therein is within the above range.

[0161] The amount of each terminal group of the resin can be determined by NMR analysis.

[0162] The terminal group analysis of NMR was measured by the solution NMR method of protons. The analysis sample was adjusted to a 20 wt % solution using acetone-d6 as a solvent for measurement.

[0171] [-CH2I]: 3.87~3.92ppm

[0172] [-OC(O)RH]: 1.09~1.16ppm

[0173] [-COOH]: 10~15ppm

[0174] Based on the integrated value of each peak determined by the above measurement, the amount of functional groups was calculated from the intensity of each peak, and the amount was calculated by the following formula based on the result.

[0175] ([-CH2OH]+[-COOH]) / ([-CH3]+[-CF2H]+[-CH2OH]+[-CH2I]+[-OC(O)RH]+[-COOH])

[0176] The method for adjusting [-CH2OH] and [-COOH] to be within the above-specified range is not particularly limited, and can be controlled by a known method (for example, the selection and amount of the initiator used).

The upper limit is the range in which the polymerization reaction heat can be removed from the device surface.

[0184] The solvent is preferably a solvent without chain transfer properties, such as dichloropentafluoropropane (R-225) in solution polymerization, and water, a mixture of water and a water-soluble organic solvent, or a mixture of water and a water-insoluble organic solvent in emulsion polymerization and suspension polymerization.

In addition, the lower limit of the molecular weight when it is an atomic group is not particularly limited, but is usually 15. If it is within this range, it is preferred from the perspective of appropriately suppressing the gelation of the electrode mixture slurry.

[0197] In the above formula (3), X may be a structure represented by the following formula (5).

In addition, it can be an all-solid-state battery, but it can be particularly preferably used in a battery having an electrolyte. The electrolyte used in the battery of the present disclosure is not particularly limited, and a known general electrolyte can be used.

[0236] (Electrolyte)

[0237] The electrolyte solution in the battery of the present disclosure is not particularly limited, and any known electrolyte solution can be used.

[0238] In the battery disclosed herein, the electrolyte preferably contains less than 90% by mass of the fluorinated ether described in detail below in the total electrolyte solvent. When an electrolyte containing a fluorinated ether is used with the above-mentioned negative electrode, the formation of dendrites can be particularly reduced, which is preferred.

[0239] (Fluorinated ether)

[0240] The liquid electrolyte preferably contains less than 90% by mass of a fluorinated ether described in detail below in the entire electrolyte solvent.

[0241] The fluorinated ether is not particularly limited as long as it is an ether compound partially containing fluorine.

[0242] Examples of the fluorinated ether include other fluorinated ethers represented by the following general formula (I).

[0243] R 4 -O-Rf 5 (I)

[0244] (Where Rf 4 and Rf 5are the same or different and are an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or a fluorinated alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. 4 and Rf 5 At least one of them is a fluorinated alkyl group. )

[0245] By containing other fluorinated ethers, the flame retardancy of the liquid electrolyte is improved, and the stability and safety at high temperature and high voltage are improved.

[0246] In the above general formula (I), Rf 4 and Rf 5 At least one of the above mentioned compounds may be a fluorinated alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. In order to further improve the flame retardancy, stability at high temperature and high voltage, and safety of the liquid electrolyte, Rf is preferably 4 and Rf 5 are all fluorinated alkyl groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. In this case, Rf 4 and Rf 5 They can be the same or different from each other.

[0248] If Rf 4 and Rf 5 If the total number of carbon atoms is too small, the boiling point of the fluorinated ether becomes too low. 4 or Rf 5 If the number of carbon atoms is too large, the solubility of the electrolyte salt decreases, and the compatibility with other solvents begins to be adversely affected. In addition, the viscosity increases, so the rate characteristics decrease. 4 The number of carbon atoms is 3 or 4, Rf 5 When the number of carbon atoms is 2 or 3, it is advantageous in that the boiling point and rate characteristics are excellent.

[0249] Examples of such fluorinated ethers include fluorinated ethers represented by the following general formula (10).

[0250] HCF2CF2-OR(10)

[0251] (In the formula, R is an alkyl group which may contain an ether group, or a fluorinated alkyl group which may contain an ether group.)

[0255] In the compound represented by the general formula (10), if the number of carbon atoms of the fluorinated alkyl group is too small, the boiling point is lowered and the volatility of the electrolyte becomes higher. On the other hand, if the number of carbon atoms is too large, the viscosity is increased and the output characteristics are reduced.

[0256] The compound represented by the general formula (10) preferably has a fluorine content of 40% to 75% by mass.

[0263] HCF2CF2-O-CH2CF2CF3(13)

[0264] HCF2CF2-O-CH2CF3(14)

[0265] In particular, the inclusion of the fluorinated ether represented by the above general formulas (12) to (14) as an additive in the liquid electrolyte is advantageous in lowering the flash point of the electrolyte.

[0266] Examples of the other fluorinated ethers (that is, fluorinated ethers other than those represented by the general formula (10)) include the following fluorinated ethers.

[0267] The fluorine content of the other fluorinated ether is preferably 40% to 75% by mass. When the fluorine content is within this range, the balance between non-flammability and compatibility is particularly excellent. In addition, it is also preferred from the perspective of good oxidation resistance and safety.

[0268] The lower limit of the fluorine content is more preferably 45% by mass, further preferably 50% by mass, and particularly preferably 55% by mass, and the upper limit is more preferably 70% by mass, further preferably 66% by mass.

In addition, as Rf 4 , for example, -CH2CF2CF3, -CF2CFHCF3, -CF2CF2CF2H, -CH2CF2CF2H, -CH2CH2CF2CF3, -CH2CF2CFHCF3, -CF2CF2CF2CF2H, -CH2CF2CF2CF2H, -CH2CH2CF2CF2H, -CH2CF(CF3)CF2H, -CF2CF2H, -CH2CF2H, -CF2CH3, etc.

[0275] The content of the fluorinated ether in the liquid electrolyte is preferably less than 90% by mass.

[0276] When the content is within this range, the liquid electrolyte can be used as a good liquid electrolyte. That is, if the content is increased, the concentration of the liquid electrolyte increases, and the ion conductivity decreases, so the battery life decreases.

[0277] The lower limit is preferably 3% by mass, more preferably 5% by mass, and the upper limit is preferably 70% by mass, more preferably 60% by mass.

[0278] When the fluorinated ether represented by the general formula (10) is used, the content of the fluorinated ether is preferably within the above range.

The number of carbon atoms of the above-mentioned fluorinated alkyl group (b) having an ether bond is preferably 2 to 17. If the number of carbon atoms is too large, the viscosity of the above-mentioned fluorinated saturated cyclic carbonate becomes higher.

[0976] The above-mentioned organic sulfur compounds are sometimes supported on a porous material such as carbon and used as a carbon composite material. As the content of sulfur contained in the carbon composite material, for the reason of more excellent cycle performance and further reduction of overvoltage, it is preferably 10% by mass to 99% by mass, more preferably 20% by mass or more, further preferably 30% by mass or more, particularly preferably 40% by mass or more, and preferably 85% by mass or less, relative to the above-mentioned carbon composite material.

[0977] When the above-mentioned positive electrode active material is the above-mentioned elemental sulfur, the content of sulfur contained in the above-mentioned positive electrode active material is equal to the content of the above-mentioned elemental sulfur.

[0978] As the conductive polymer, p-doped conductive polymers and n-doped conductive polymers can be exemplified. As the conductive polymer, polyacetylene-based, polystyrene-based, heterocyclic polymers, ionic polymers, ladder-shaped and network polymers, etc. can be exemplified.

[0979] In addition, a substance in which a substance having a different composition is attached to the surface of the above-mentioned positive electrode active material can also be used. As the surface-attached substance, examples include oxides such as alumina, silica, titania, zirconia, magnesia, calcium oxide, boron oxide, antimony oxide, bismuth oxide; sulfates such as lithium sulfate, sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, aluminum sulfate; carbonates such as lithium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate; carbon; and so on.

[0980] These surface-attached substances can be attached to the surface of the positive electrode active material by, for example, the following methods: a method of dissolving or suspending the substance in a solvent and adding it to the positive electrode active material by infiltration and drying; a method of dissolving or suspending the surface-attached substance precursor in a solvent and adding it to the positive electrode active material by infiltration and then reacting it by heating or the like; a method of adding it to the positive electrode active material precursor and simultaneously firing it; etc. It should be noted that in the case of attaching carbon, a method of mechanically attaching carbon in the form of activated carbon or the like can also be used.

[0981] The amount of the surface-attached substance is used in the following amount relative to the mass of the positive electrode active material: preferably 0.1 ppm or more, more preferably 1 ppm or more, and further preferably 10 ppm or more as the lower limit, and preferably 20% or less, more preferably 10% or less, and further preferably 5% or less as the upper limit. The surface-attached substance can inhibit the oxidation reaction of the electrolyte on the surface of the positive electrode active material and improve the battery life, but if the amount of the attached substance is too small, the effect cannot be fully manifested; if it is too large, it will hinder the entry and exit of lithium ions, thereby possibly increasing the resistance.

[0982] The shape of the particles of the positive electrode active material may be block, polyhedron, sphere, ellipsoid, plate, needle, column, etc. The primary particles may be aggregated to form secondary particles.

[0983] The tap density of the positive electrode active material is preferably 0.5 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.8 g / cm 3 More preferably, 1.0 g / cm 3 Above. If the tap density of the positive electrode active material is lower than the above lower limit, the amount of dispersion medium required when the positive electrode active material layer is formed increases, and the required amount of conductive material and binder increases, the filling rate of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode active material layer is limited, and the battery capacity may be limited. By using a composite oxide powder with a high tap density, a high-density positive electrode active material layer can be formed. The larger the tap density is, the better. There is no particular upper limit. However, if it is too large, the diffusion of lithium ions using the electrolyte in the positive electrode active material layer as a medium becomes rate-limiting, and sometimes the load characteristics are easily reduced. Therefore, the upper limit is preferably 4.0 g / cm 3 Below, more preferably 3.7 g / cm 3 Below, more preferably 3.5 g / cm 3 the following.

[0984] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the tap density is the powder packing density (tap density) g / cm2 when 5 g to 10 g of the positive electrode active material powder is placed in a 10 ml glass measuring cylinder and vibrated 200 times with a stroke of about 20 mm. 3 Find out.

[0985] The median diameter d50 of the particles of the positive electrode active material (secondary particle diameter in the case where the primary particles are agglomerated to form secondary particles) is preferably 0.3 μm or more, more preferably 0.5 μm or more, further preferably 0.8 μm or more, and most preferably 1.0 μm or more, and preferably 30 μm or less, more preferably 27 μm or less, further preferably 25 μm or less, and most preferably 22 μm or less. If it is less than the above lower limit, a high tap density product may not be obtained; if it exceeds the upper limit, the diffusion of lithium in the particles takes time, which sometimes leads to a decrease in battery performance, or when the positive electrode of the battery is made, that is, the active material and the conductive material, the binder, etc. are slurried with a solvent and coated into a thin film, causing problems such as stripes. Here, by mixing two or more of the above-mentioned positive electrode active materials with different median diameters d50, the filling property during the production of the positive electrode can be further improved.

[0986] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the median diameter d50 is measured using a known laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measuring device. When using LA-920 manufactured by HORIBA as a particle size distribution meter, as a dispersion medium used during measurement, a 0.1% by mass sodium hexametaphosphate aqueous solution is used, and after 5 minutes of ultrasonic dispersion, the measured refractive index is set to 1.24 for measurement.

[0987] In the case where the primary particles are agglomerated to form secondary particles, the average primary particle size of the positive electrode active material is preferably 0.05 μm or more, more preferably 0.1 μm or more, and further preferably 0.2 μm or more, and the upper limit is preferably 5 μm or less, more preferably 4 μm or less, further preferably 3 μm or less, and most preferably 2 μm or less. If the upper limit is exceeded, it is difficult to form spherical secondary particles, which has an adverse effect on the powder filling property, or the specific surface area is greatly reduced, so the possibility of reduced battery performance such as output characteristics is sometimes increased. On the contrary, if it is lower than the lower limit, crystallization is usually not developed, so problems such as poor reversibility of charge and discharge may occur.

[0988] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the primary particle size is measured by observation using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Specifically, in a photograph with a magnification of 10,000 times, for any 50 primary particles, the longest value of the slice intercepted on a straight line in the horizontal direction by the left and right boundaries of the primary particles is obtained, and the average value is taken to obtain the primary particle size.

[0989] The BET specific surface area of ​​the positive electrode active material is preferably 0.1 m 2 / g or more, more preferably 0.2m 2 / g or more, more preferably 0.3m 2 / g or more, and the upper limit is preferably 50m 2 / g or less, more preferably 40m 2 / g or less, more preferably 30m 2 If the BET specific surface area is smaller than this range, the battery performance is likely to decrease, and if it is larger than this range, it is difficult to increase the tap density, and coating properties may be problematic when the positive electrode active material layer is formed.

[0990] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the BET specific surface area is defined as: using a surface area meter (for example, a fully automatic surface area measuring device manufactured by Okura Riken Co., Ltd.), after pre-drying the sample at 150°C for 30 minutes under nitrogen flow, using a nitrogen-helium mixed gas accurately adjusted so that the relative pressure of nitrogen to atmospheric pressure becomes 0.3, the value is measured by the nitrogen adsorption BET single-point method based on the gas flow method.

[0991] When the secondary battery of the present disclosure is used as a large lithium ion secondary battery for hybrid vehicles or distributed power sources, high output is required, and therefore the particles of the positive electrode active material preferably mainly contain secondary particles.

[0992] The particles of the positive electrode active material preferably contain 0.5 volume % to 7.0 volume % of secondary particles with an average particle size of 40 μm or less and an average primary particle size of 1 μm or less. By containing particles with an average primary particle size of 1 μm or less, the contact area with the electrolyte becomes larger, which can make the diffusion of lithium ions between the electrode and the electrolyte faster, and as a result, the output performance of the battery can be improved.

[0993] As a method for manufacturing positive electrode active materials, a common method for manufacturing inorganic compounds is used. In particular, various methods are considered for making spherical or ellipsoidal active materials, for example, the following methods can be cited: dissolving or crushing the raw material of the transition metal and dispersing it in a solvent such as water, adjusting the pH under stirring, making a spherical precursor and recovering it, drying it as needed, then adding LiOH, Li2CO3, LiNO3 and other Li sources and firing at high temperature to obtain the active material.

[0994] In order to manufacture the positive electrode, the above-mentioned positive electrode active materials can be used alone, or two or more of different compositions can be used together in any combination or ratio. As a preferred combination in this case, LiCoO2 and LiNi 0.33 Co 0.33 Mn 0.33O2, etc., LiMn2O4 or a combination in which a portion of the Mn is replaced with other transition metals, or LiCoO2 or a combination in which a portion of the Co is replaced with other transition metals.

[0995] From the aspect of high battery capacity, the content of the above-mentioned positive electrode active material is preferably 50% to 99.5% by mass of the positive electrode mixture, and more preferably 80% to 99% by mass. In addition, the content of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode active material layer is preferably 80% by mass or more, more preferably 82% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 84% by mass or more. In addition, the upper limit is preferably 99% by mass or less, and more preferably 98% by mass or less. When the content of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode active material layer is low, the capacitance sometimes becomes insufficient. On the contrary, when the content is too high, the strength of the positive electrode is sometimes insufficient.

[0996] The positive electrode mixture preferably further includes a binder, a thickener, and a conductive material.

[0997] As the above-mentioned binder, any substance can be used as long as it is a material safe for the solvent and electrolyte used in electrode manufacturing, and examples thereof include: resin polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polymethyl methacrylate, aromatic polyamide, chitosan, alginic acid, polyacrylic acid, polyimide, cellulose, and nitrocellulose; rubber polymers such as SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber), isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, fluororubber, NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber), and ethylene-propylene rubber; styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers. or its hydrogenated product; thermoplastic elastomer polymers such as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), styrene ethylene butadiene styrene copolymer, styrene isoprene styrene block copolymer or its hydrogenated product; soft resin polymers such as syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene, polyvinyl acetate, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, propylene α-olefin copolymer; fluorine-based polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride copolymer, tetrafluoroethylene ethylene copolymer; polymer compositions having ion conductivity of alkali metal ions (particularly lithium ions), etc. These may be used alone or in any combination and ratio.

[0998] The content of binder is usually 0.1 mass % or more, preferably 1 mass % or more, more preferably 1.5 mass % or more, and usually 80 mass % or less, preferably 60 mass % or less, more preferably 40 mass % or less, most preferably 10 mass % or less. If the ratio of binder is too low, positive electrode active material cannot be fully maintained, and the mechanical strength of positive electrode is sometimes insufficient, and battery performance such as cycle characteristics is sometimes deteriorated. On the other hand, if the ratio of binder is too high, it sometimes leads to a reduction in battery capacity and conductivity.

[0999] Examples of the thickener include carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, oxidized starch, phosphorylated starch, casein, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and salts thereof. One type may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in any combination and ratio.

[1000] The ratio of thickener to active material is usually 0.1 mass %, preferably 0.2 mass %, more preferably 0.3 mass %, and usually 5 mass %, preferably 3 mass %, more preferably 2 mass %. If it is lower than this scope, the coating property is significantly reduced sometimes. If it is higher than this scope, the proportion of active material in positive electrode active material layer is reduced, and sometimes the problem of reduced capacity of battery or the problem of increased resistance between positive electrode active materials is generated.

[1001] As the above-mentioned conductive material, any known conductive material can be used. As a specific example, metal materials such as copper and nickel, graphite such as natural graphite and artificial graphite, carbon black such as acetylene black, Ketjen black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black, thermal black, etc., carbon materials such as amorphous carbon such as needle coke, carbon nanotubes, fullerene, VGCF, etc. can be cited. It should be noted that they can be used alone, or two or more can be used in any combination and ratio. The conductive material is usually 0.01% by mass or more, preferably 0.1% by mass or more, and more preferably 1% by mass or more in the positive electrode active material layer. In addition, it is usually used in a manner containing 50% by mass or less, preferably 30% by mass or less, and more preferably 15% by mass or less. If the content is lower than this range, the conductivity is sometimes insufficient. On the contrary, if the content is higher than this range, the battery capacity is sometimes reduced.

[1002] As a solvent for forming the slurry, as long as it is a solvent that can dissolve or disperse the positive electrode active material, the conductive material, the binder, and the thickener used as needed, its type is not particularly limited, and any of aqueous solvents and organic solvents can be used. As aqueous solvents, for example, water, mixed solvents of alcohol and water, etc. can be cited. As organic solvents, for example, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, methylnaphthalene; heterocyclic compounds such as quinoline and pyridine; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; esters such as methyl acetate and methyl acrylate; amines such as diethylenetriamine and N,N-dimethylaminopropylamine; ethers such as diethyl ether, propylene oxide, and tetrahydrofuran (THF); amides such as N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide, and dimethylacetamide; non-protonic polar solvents such as hexamethylphosphoramide and dimethyl sulfoxide, etc.

[1003] Examples of the material of the positive electrode current collector include metals such as aluminum, titanium, tantalum, stainless steel, nickel, or alloys thereof; and carbon materials such as carbon cloth and carbon paper. Among them, metal materials, particularly aluminum or alloys thereof, are preferred.

[1004] As the shape of the current collector, in the case of metal materials, metal foil, metal cylinder, metal coil, metal plate, metal film, metal roughening foil, porous metal net, stamping metal, foamed metal, etc. can be mentioned, and in the case of carbon materials, carbon plate, carbon film, carbon cylinder, etc. can be mentioned. Among these, metal film is preferred. It should be noted that the film can be appropriately formed into a mesh. The thickness of the film is arbitrary, usually more than 1 μm, preferably more than 3 μm, more preferably more than 5 μm, and usually less than 1 mm, preferably less than 100 μm, more preferably less than 50 μm. If the film is thinner than this range, the strength required as a current collector is sometimes insufficient. On the contrary, if the film is thicker than this range, sometimes the handling property is impaired.

[1005] In addition, from the perspective of reducing the electrical contact resistance between the current collector and the positive electrode active material layer, it is also preferred that a conductive additive be coated on the surface of the current collector. Examples of the conductive additive include carbon or noble metals such as gold, platinum, and silver.

[1006] The ratio of the thickness of the current collector to the positive electrode active material layer is not particularly limited, and the value of (the thickness of the positive electrode active material layer on one side before the electrolyte is injected) / (the thickness of the current collector) is preferably less than 20, more preferably less than 15, and most preferably less than 10. In addition, it is preferably more than 0.5, more preferably more than 0.8, and most preferably more than 1. If it exceeds this range, the current collector sometimes generates heat caused by Joule heat during high current density charging and discharging. If it is less than this range, the volume ratio of the current collector to the positive electrode active material increases, and the capacity of the battery sometimes decreases.

[1007] The positive electrode can be manufactured according to conventional methods. For example, a method can be cited in which a slurry-like positive electrode mixture is prepared by adding the above-mentioned binder, thickener, conductive material, solvent, etc. to the above-mentioned positive electrode active material, applying the slurry to the collector, and pressing it after drying to obtain a high density.

[1008] The density increase can be achieved by hand pressing, roll pressing, etc. The density of the positive electrode active material layer is preferably 1.5 g / cm 3 More preferably, 2 g / cm 3 More preferably, 2.2 g / cm 3 More than 5 g / cm 3 Below, more preferably 4.5g / cm 3 Below, more preferably 4g / cm 3 If the range is exceeded, the permeability of the electrolyte to the collector / active material interface is reduced, and the charge-discharge characteristics at high current density are reduced, and sometimes high output cannot be obtained. In addition, if it is less than this range, the conductivity between the active materials is reduced, and sometimes the battery resistance increases and high output cannot be obtained.

[1009] In the case of using the electrolyte used in the battery of the present invention or the electrolyte used in the alkali metal secondary battery of the present invention, the area of ​​the positive electrode active material layer is preferably larger than the outer surface area of ​​the battery case from the perspective of high output and improved stability at high temperature. Specifically, the sum of the electrode areas of the positive electrode is preferably 15 times or more in terms of area ratio relative to the surface area of ​​the outer packaging of the secondary battery, and more preferably 40 times or more. Regarding the outer surface area of ​​the battery case, in the case of a square shape with a bottom, it refers to the total area calculated by calculating the length, width and thickness dimensions of the shell part filled with the power generation element except the protruding part of the terminal. In the case of a cylindrical shape with a bottom, it refers to the geometric surface area of ​​the shell part filled with the power generation element except the protruding part of the terminal. The sum of the electrode mixture area of ​​the positive electrode refers to the geometric surface area of ​​the positive electrode mixture layer facing the mixture layer containing the negative electrode active material. In a structure where a positive electrode mixture layer is formed on both sides by a collector foil, it refers to the sum of the areas calculated for each face.

[1010] The thickness of the positive electrode plate is not particularly limited. From the perspective of high capacity and high output, the thickness of the composite layer after deducting the thickness of the metal foil of the core material is preferably 10 μm or more, more preferably 20 μm or more, and preferably 500 μm or less, more preferably 450 μm or less, relative to a single side of the collector as the lower limit.

[1011] In addition, a positive electrode plate having a substance having a different composition attached to the surface of the positive electrode plate may also be used. Examples of the surface-attached substance include oxides such as aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, boron oxide, antimony oxide, and bismuth oxide; sulfates such as lithium sulfate, sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, and aluminum sulfate; carbonates such as lithium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and magnesium carbonate; carbon; and the like.

[1012] (Diaphragm)

[1013] The secondary battery of the present disclosure preferably further includes a separator.

[1014] The material and shape of the above-mentioned diaphragm are not particularly limited as long as the electrolyte is stable and the liquid retention is excellent, and a known diaphragm can be used. Among them, it is preferred to use a porous sheet or non-woven fabric-like material formed of a material that is stable to the electrolyte used in the battery of the present invention or the electrolyte used in the alkali metal secondary battery of the present invention, using resin, glass fiber, inorganic material, etc., and having excellent liquid retention.

[1015] As materials for the resin and glass fiber separator, for example, polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, aromatic polyamide, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethersulfone, glass filters, etc. can be used. Polypropylene / polyethylene two-layer membranes, polypropylene / polyethylene / polypropylene three-layer membranes, etc. These materials can be used alone or in any combination and ratio.

[1016] Among them, the separator is preferably a porous sheet or nonwoven fabric made of polyolefin such as polyethylene or polypropylene from the viewpoint of good electrolyte permeability and shutdown effect.

[1017] The thickness of the separator is arbitrary, usually 1 μm or more, preferably 5 μm or more, more preferably 8 μm or more, and usually 50 μm or less, preferably 40 μm or less, more preferably 30 μm or less. If the separator is too thin compared to the above range, the insulation and mechanical strength may sometimes be reduced. In addition, if it is too thick compared to the above range, the battery performance such as rate characteristics may sometimes be reduced, and the energy density of the electrolyte battery as a whole may sometimes be reduced.

[1018] In addition, when a porous material such as a porous sheet or nonwoven fabric is used as a diaphragm, the porosity of the diaphragm is arbitrary, usually 20% or more, preferably 35% or more, more preferably 45% or more, and usually 90% or less, preferably 85% or less, more preferably 75% or less. If the porosity is too small compared to the above range, there is a tendency for the membrane resistance to increase and the rate characteristics to deteriorate. In addition, if it is too large compared to the above range, there is a tendency for the mechanical strength of the diaphragm to decrease and the insulation to decrease.

[1019] In addition, the average pore size of the diaphragm is also arbitrary, usually 0.5 μm or less, preferably 0.2 μm or less, and usually 0.05 μm or more. If the average pore size exceeds the above range, short circuit is likely to occur. In addition, if it is less than the above range, the membrane resistance sometimes increases and the rate characteristics decrease.

[1020] On the other hand, as inorganic materials, oxides such as aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide, nitrides such as aluminum nitride and silicon nitride, and sulfates such as barium sulfate and calcium sulfate are used, and materials in the form of particles or fibers are used.

[1021] As a form, a non-woven fabric, a woven fabric, a microporous film or other thin film-shaped material is used. In the case of a thin film, a film with a pore size of 0.01 μm to 1 μm and a thickness of 5 μm to 50 μm is preferably used. In addition to the above-mentioned independent thin film shape, a separator formed by forming a composite porous layer containing particles of the above-mentioned inorganic substance on the surface of the positive electrode and / or the negative electrode using a resin binder can also be used.

[1022] For example, a fluororesin is used as a binder, and alumina particles having a particle size of 90% less than 1 μm are formed into a porous layer on both sides of the positive electrode.

[1023] (Battery Design)

[1024] The electrode group may be any one of a laminated structure in which the separator is interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, and an electrode group in which the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are wound in a spiral shape with the separator interposed therebetween. The ratio of the volume of the electrode group to the internal volume of the battery (hereinafter referred to as the electrode group occupancy ratio) is usually 40% or more, preferably 50% or more, and usually 90% or less, preferably 80% or less.

[1025] If the electrode group occupancy is less than the above range, the battery capacity will be reduced. In addition, if it exceeds the above range, the void space is small, the battery temperature rises, the components expand, the vapor pressure of the liquid component of the electrolyte increases, and the internal pressure rises, which will reduce the various characteristics of the battery such as the charge and discharge repetition performance and high temperature storage, and the gas release valve that releases the internal pressure to the outside may sometimes work.

[1026] The current collecting structure is not particularly limited, but in order to more effectively improve the high current density charge and discharge characteristics caused by the electrolyte used in the battery of the present disclosure or the electrolyte used in the alkali metal secondary battery of the present disclosure, it is preferably a structure that reduces the resistance of the wiring part or the bonding part.

[1027] When the internal resistance is reduced in this way, the effect of using the electrolyte solution used in the battery of the present disclosure or the electrolyte solution used in the alkali metal secondary battery of the present disclosure can be particularly well exerted.

[1028] When the electrode group has the above-mentioned laminated structure, it is preferred to use a structure formed by bundling the metal core parts of each electrode layer and welding them to the terminal. When the area of ​​a piece of electrode becomes larger, since the internal resistance becomes larger, it is also preferred to set multiple terminals in the electrode to reduce the resistance. When the electrode group has the above-mentioned winding structure, multiple lead structures can be set in the positive electrode and the negative electrode respectively, and bundled on the terminal, thereby reducing the internal resistance.

[1029] The material of the housing is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that is stable to the electrolyte used. Specifically, metals such as nickel-plated steel, stainless steel, aluminum or aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, or a laminated film (laminated film) of resin and aluminum foil are used. From the perspective of lightweight, it is preferred to use a metal such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy, or a laminated film.

[1030] In the case of using metal, there can be mentioned a case in which metals are welded together by laser welding, resistance welding, or ultrasonic welding to form a sealed package structure; or a case in which the above metals are used to form a riveted structure through a resin gasket. In the case of using the above laminated film, there can be mentioned a case in which a sealed package structure is formed by thermally bonding resin layers to each other. In order to improve the sealing performance, a resin different from the resin used in the laminated film can also be sandwiched between the above resin layers. In particular, in the case of forming a sealed structure by thermally bonding the resin layers through the collector terminal, since the metal is bonded to the resin, it is preferred to use a resin having a polar group or a modified resin into which a polar group is introduced as the sandwiched resin.

[1031] The secondary battery of the present disclosure may have any shape, for example, cylindrical, square, laminated, button, large, etc. The shape and structure of the positive electrode, negative electrode, and separator may be changed according to the shape of each battery.
