MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be variously modified and implemented within the scope of the gist of the disclosure.
[0013] 《Positive electrode active material》 The positive electrode active material of the present disclosure has a composition formula Li x Fe y O2 (where 0 < x < 2 and 0 < y < 2), and is a positive electrode active material having a crystallite size of 200 Å or less.
[0014] As means for improving the reversible capacity of the positive electrode active material represented by the composition formula Li x Fe y O2 (where 0 < x < 2 and 0 < y < 2), conventionally, attempts have been made such as substitution with different elements and changing the crystal structure.
[0015] On the other hand, the positive electrode active material of the present disclosure has a composition formula Li x Fe yO2 (where 0 < x < 2 and 0 < y < 2) represents a cathode active material with a crystallite size of 200 Å or less, which improves the reversible capacity. This is considered to be because the diffusion distance of lithium ions becomes shorter as the crystallite size decreases.
[0016] In general, for a cathode active material that is an intercalation compound, it is considered that the larger the crystallite size, the larger the reversible capacity, from the perspective of intercalating lithium ions between the layers.
[0017] Composition formula Li x Fe y In O2, 0 < x < 2 and 0 < y < 2. Here, x may be greater than 0, 0.05 or more, 0.10 or more, 0.50 or more, or 0.95 or more, and may be less than 2.00, 1.95 or less, 1.50 or less, or 1.05 or less. It is preferably 0.95 ≤ x ≤ 1.05. Similarly, y may be greater than 0, 0.05 or more, 0.10 or more, 0.50 or more, or 0.95 or more, and may be less than 2.00, 1.95 or less, 1.50 or less, or 1.05 or less. It is preferably 0.95 ≤ y ≤ 1.05.
[0018] Moreover, the cathode active material of the present disclosure can have a cubic rock salt structure.
[0019] The crystallite size of the cathode active material of the present disclosure is 200 Å or less.
[0020] Composition formula Li x Fe y When the crystallite size of the cathode active material represented by O2 (where 0 < x < 2 and 0 < y < 2) is 200 Å or less, a high discharge capacity can be obtained.
[0021] The crystallite size of the cathode active material may be 200 Å or less, 170 Å or less, 150 Å or less, 120 Å or less, or 100 Å or less, and may be 10 Å or more, 30 Å or more, 40 Å or more, or 50 Å or more.
[0022] 《Method for manufacturing cathode active material》 The method for producing a positive electrode active material of the present disclosure includes the following steps (A) to (C). (A) mixing FeO and LiCO by a first ball mill method to obtain a mixed powder; (B) calcining the powder mixture; and (C) Milling the fired mixture powder by a second ball milling method.
[0023] <Process (A)> Step (A) is to mix Fe2O3 and Li2CO3 by a first ball mill method to obtain a mixed powder.
[0024] The first ball milling method may be either a wet ball milling method or a dry ball milling method, but from the viewpoint of preventing the mixed powder from adhering to the container, a wet ball milling method is preferred.
[0025] In the first ball mill method, the rotation speed, rotation time, and the size and number of balls are not particularly limited.
[0026] The rotation speed may be, for example, 200 rpm to 2000 rpm. The rotation speed may be 200 rpm or more, 300 rpm or more, or 500 rpm or more, and may be 2000 rpm or less, 1500 rpm or less, 1000 rpm or less, or 500 rpm or less.
[0027] The rotation time may be 5 minutes to 10 hours. The rotation time may be 5 minutes or more, 10 minutes or more, 15 minutes or more, 30 minutes or more, or 1 hour or more, and may be 10 hours or less, 5 hours or less, 2 hours or less, 1 hour or less, or 30 minutes or less.
[0028] The size of the balls that can be used is, for example, 0.1 mm to 50 mm in diameter. The size of the balls may be 0.1 mm or more, 1 mm or more, or 5 mm or more, and may be 50 mm or less, 25 mm or less, or 10 mm or less.
[0029] Balls of different sizes may be used in combination, for example, balls with diameters of 10 mm, 5 mm, and 1 mm may be used in combination.
[0030] <Process (B)> Step (B) is to calcinate the mixture powder.
[0031] The firing may be carried out in an atmosphere inert to the powder mixture, such as a nitrogen atmosphere or a rare gas atmosphere, more specifically, an Ar atmosphere.
[0032] The firing temperature may be 600° C. to 1200° C. The firing temperature may be 600° C. or higher, 750° C. or higher, or 900° C. or higher, and may be 1200° C. or lower, 1000° C. or lower, or 900° C. or lower.

[0038] The solid electrolyte may be glass, glass ceramics, or a crystalline material. Glass can be obtained by amorphous processing of a raw material composition (e.g., a mixture of Li2S and P2S5). Examples of amorphous processing include mechanical milling. Mechanical milling may be dry mechanical milling or wet mechanical milling, with the latter being preferred. This is because it can prevent the raw material composition from adhering to the wall surface of a container or the like. Glass ceramics can be obtained by heat treating glass. Crystalline materials can be obtained, for example, by solid-phase reaction processing of the raw material composition.
[0039] The solid electrolyte is preferably in the form of particles. The average particle size (D50) of the solid electrolyte is, for example, 0.01 μm or more.

[0068] Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 <Preparation of Positive Electrode Active Material> For Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, Fe2O3 and Li2CO3 were mixed in ethanol by a wet ball mill method under the conditions shown in the following Table 1. The resulting mixed powder was molded into pellets (step (A)).
[0069] Next, the boat-shaped aluminum boat containing the molded pellets was wrapped in Cu foil and fired in an Ar atmosphere at 900°C for 12 hours (step (B)).
[0070] Finally, the obtained powder was pulverized by a dry ball mill method under the conditions shown in Table 1 (step (C)). The crystallite size was controlled by adjusting the ball milling time. Specifically, as shown in Table 1, the number of sets in the dry ball mill method differed depending on the example.

The slurry was applied to an aluminum current collector foil as a positive electrode current collector layer and dried in a vacuum at 120°C overnight to form a positive electrode active material layer on the positive electrode current collector layer. This was used as a positive electrode body.
[0078] TDDK-217 (Daikin) was used as the electrolyte, and metallic Li foil was used as the negative electrode body.
[0079] The charge / discharge characteristics were evaluated in a thermostatic chamber maintained at 60° C., in a voltage range of 1.5-5 V, and at a 0.1 C rate (1 C=185 mA / g). The evaluation results of Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively.
