[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a negative electrode active material layer 14 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure is formed on a negative electrode current collector layer 15. As shown in FIG. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a lithium-ion battery 1 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0012] 《Electrode composite material》 The electrode mixture of the present disclosure contains an electrode active material that expands and contracts with charge and discharge, a polymer electrolyte having a monomer unit derived from a norbornene and a monomer unit derived from a maleic anhydride, and a sulfide solid electrolyte.

[0013] Here, the "electrode active material that expands and contracts with charge and discharge" refers to an electrode active material that expands and contracts by absorbing and releasing charge carriers, such as lithium ions in a lithium ion battery, with charge and discharge of the battery, in other words, an electrode active material whose particle size increases and decreases.

[0014] In a battery (particularly an all-solid-state battery) containing such an electrode active material, expansion and contraction of the electrode active material in the electrode active material layer during charge and discharge can cause cracks in the electrode active material layer and / or create voids between the electrode active material and the solid electrolyte.

[0015] Cracks in the electrode active material layer and the occurrence of voids between the electrode active material and the solid electrolyte can result in a decrease in battery capacity.

[0016] The electrode mixture of the present disclosure contains, in addition to an electrode active material that expands and contracts with charge and discharge and a sulfide solid electrolyte, a polymer electrolyte having a monomer unit derived from a norbornene and a monomer unit derived from a maleic anhydride.

[0017] Polymer electrolytes containing monomer units derived from norbornenes and monomer units derived from maleic anhydrides have significantly lower rigidity than solid electrolytes. Therefore, an electrode active material layer formed using an electrode mixture containing an electrode active material that expands and contracts with charge and discharge and the polymer electrolyte can absorb the expansion and contraction of the electrode active material in the electrode active material layer that occurs during charge and discharge by deformation of the polymer electrolyte. Therefore, cracking of the electrode active material layer and the occurrence of voids between the electrode active material and the solid electrolyte can be suppressed.

[0018] Therefore, the electrode composite of the present disclosure can suppress cracking of the electrode active material layer and the occurrence of voids between the electrode active material and the sulfide solid electrolyte due to the polymer electrolyte, and can also provide high charge carrier conductivity due to the sulfide solid electrolyte.

[0019] As described in Non-Patent Document 1, when a specific polymer electrolyte is mixed with a sulfide solid electrolyte, the polymer electrolyte and the sulfide solid electrolyte may react with each other and deteriorate.

[0020] In this regard, the polymer electrolyte having a monomer unit derived from a norbornene and a monomer unit derived from a maleic anhydride, which is used in the electrode mixture of the present disclosure, has low reactivity with the sulfide solid electrolyte.

[0021] As a result, a battery having an electrode active material layer containing the electrode mixture of the present disclosure has an improved discharge capacity.

[0022] In addition to the electrode active material that expands and contracts with charge and discharge, the polymer electrolyte having a monomer unit derived from a norbornene and a monomer unit derived from a maleic anhydride, and the sulfide solid electrolyte, the electrode mixture of the present disclosure may optionally contain other components, such as a binder and / or a conductive aid.

[0023] <Electrode active material> The electrode mixture of the present disclosure contains an electrode active material that expands and contracts during charge and discharge.

[0024] The electrode active material may be either a positive electrode active material or a negative electrode active material.

[0025] An example of a positive electrode active material that expands and contracts with charge and discharge is a sulfur-based active material. Here, the sulfur-based active material is an active material that contains at least the S element. The sulfur-based active material may or may not contain the Li element.

Examples of Sn alloy-based negative electrode active materials include tin, tin oxide, tin nitride, and solid solutions thereof.

Among these, Si alloy-based negative electrode active materials are preferred.

[0031] In structural formula (1), R1, R2, R3, and R4 are all hydrogen atoms, i.e., a monomer unit derived from norbornene is a monomer unit derived from norbornene, i.e., 2-norbornenebicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, and is represented by the following structural formula (2):

[0032] [ka]

[0033] The monomer unit derived from maleic anhydrides is represented by the following structural formula (3):

[0034] [ka]

[0035] In structural formula (3), R5 and R6 are, for example, each independently a hydrogen atom or a group selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, and an aryl group.

[0036] In structural formula (3), when R5 and R6 are both hydrogen atoms, the monomer unit is derived from maleic anhydride and is represented by the following structural formula (4):

[0046] The sulfide solid electrolyte may be glass, glass ceramic, 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.

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.

[0047] The sulfide solid electrolyte is preferably in the form of particles. The sulfide solid electrolyte has an average particle size (D50) of, for example, 0.01 μm or more.

LiTFSI was then added in an amount of 0.4 times by weight, and the mixture was stirred with a stirrer (Corning PC-420D) to prepare a polymer electrolyte solution.

[0080] The molar ratio of the monomer units derived from maleic anhydride to the monomer units derived from norbornene in the polymer was _%. The number average molecular weight of the polymer was _.

[0108] Battery evaluation The all-solid-state battery of each example was charged at 0.1 C by constant current-constant voltage (CC-CV) to 4.2 V. Then, CC-CV discharge was performed at 0.1 C to 2.7 V. During this charging, the discharge capacity was obtained and the confining pressure of the all-solid-state battery was monitored. The confining pressure of the all-solid-state battery at 4.2 V was measured and compared with the confining pressure of the all-solid-state batteries of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 and Example 1.

[0109] The charge and discharge were then repeated under the same conditions, which was the second charge and discharge.

[0110] The pressure increase rate (MPa / mAh) in the all-solid-state battery of Comparative Example 1 during the first charge was set at 100, and the relative values ​​were compared.

[0111] Furthermore, the discharge capacities (mAh) at the first and second discharges were compared as relative values, with the discharge capacity of the all-solid-state battery of Comparative Example 1 set at 100.

[0112] <result> The configuration of each example and the evaluation results of the battery are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, "norbornene / maleic anhydride" means a polymer having a monomer unit derived from norbornene and a monomer unit derived from maleic anhydride.

[0113] [Table 1]

[0114] As shown in Table 1, the pressure increase rate in the all-solid-state battery of Comparative Example 1 during the first charge was smaller in Comparative Example 2 and Example 1, in which the electrolyte in the negative electrode active material layer contained a polymer electrolyte, than in Comparative Example 1, in which the electrolyte in the negative electrode active material layer contained only a sulfide solid electrolyte. In particular, in Example 1, in which the polymer electrolyte contained a polymer having a norbornene-derived monomer unit and a maleic anhydride-derived monomer unit, the pressure increase rate was 85, which was particularly small.

[0115] Furthermore, in Examples 2 and 3, in which the electrolyte in the negative electrode active material layer contained a sulfide solid electrolyte and the polymer electrolyte contained a polymer having a monomer unit derived from norbornene and a monomer unit derived from maleic anhydride, the second discharge capacities were 101 and 96, respectively, which were larger than the second discharge capacities of Example 1, in which the electrolyte in the negative electrode active material layer did not contain a sulfide solid electrolyte.
