開発が進められている。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the rapid development of electronic technology, the performance of electronic and communication devices such as mobile phones and camcorders has been improved.
As miniaturization is progressing, there is also a demand for miniaturization and high energy density of secondary batteries mounted on these electronic and communication devices. As a secondary battery with high energy density,
Cylindrical and prismatic lithium-ion batteries using a metal oxide for the positive electrode and a carbon material for the negative electrode are known, but mass production will be possible in response to further miniaturization and thinning while maintaining a high energy density. For this reason, coin-type lithium secondary batteries have been developed.

クル特性を得ることができないという問題がある。Conventionally, in coin-type lithium secondary batteries, a disk-shaped positive / negative electrode plate is placed in a coin-type positive / negative battery case.
It has a structure of being stacked via a separator. As the positive electrode active material used for the positive electrode plate, an oxide or sulfide of a transition metal, such as manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ) or molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), is used. As a substance, a substance using lithium metal or a lithium alloy has been proposed. However, batteries using these active materials have the problem that the surface of lithium metal or lithium alloy is roughened by repeated charging and discharging, and sufficient cycle characteristics cannot be obtained.

When used, the electrode plate area is limited due to the structure, so the electrode plate needs to be thickened to some extent. As a result, the charge transfer resistance and the diffusion resistance in the electrode increase, causing a problem that the charge / discharge characteristics deteriorate.

とを特徴とするものである。According to the present invention, there is provided a plate-like positive electrode plate comprising a positive electrode mixture comprising a positive electrode active material comprising a metal oxide, a conductive agent and a binder, and electrochemically storing and releasing lithium. A plate-shaped negative electrode plate made of a possible carbon material, a separator interposed between the positive and negative electrode plates, and a coin-type non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, wherein the positive electrode plate The thickness is 0.1 mm to 1.2 mm, and the conductive agent is contained at 8.2% to 14.0% by weight with respect to the positive electrode mixture.

高くなるからである。The reason for limiting the thickness of the positive electrode plate to 0.1 mm to 1.2 mm in the secondary battery of the present invention is that a certain capacity can be ensured and the positive electrode active material is effectively used. Further, the reason why the amount of the conductive agent is set to 8.2% by weight to 14.0% by weight is that the positive electrode active material is effectively used and the charge / discharge efficiency is increased by forming a good quality film on the electrode. is there.

て充放電効率が低下してしまう。However, when the thickness of the positive electrode plate is less than 0.1 mm, the capacity is too small and the durability is reduced because the electrode is thin. On the other hand, when the thickness of the positive electrode plate is larger than 1.2 mm, the durability of the electrode is increased, but the diffusion resistance and the charge transfer resistance in the thickness direction are too large. Further, when the amount of the conductive agent is lower than 8.2% by weight, the amount of the conductive agent is too small to effectively use the positive electrode active material. When the amount of the conductive agent is larger than 14.0% by weight, the conductive agent reacts with the electrolytic solution. However, the energy used for the film is too large to lower the charge / discharge efficiency.

Also, when the packing density of the positive electrode of 2.6 g · cm- 3 ~3.1g · cm- 3, the charge-discharge characteristics are further improved because the positive electrode active material is fully utilized.

場合、正極活物質と導電剤が均等に混合できない共に、
電解液と接する面が低下するからである。The reason is that when the particle size of the positive electrode active material is smaller than 2 μm, the conductive agent cannot sufficiently cover the periphery of the positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material is easily dissolved in the electrolyte. On the other hand, when the particle size of the positive electrode active material is larger than 20 μm, the positive electrode active material and the conductive agent cannot be mixed evenly,
This is because the surface in contact with the electrolyte is reduced.

This is because the positive electrode active material, the conductive agent, and the binder are not uniformly mixed, and the capacity per volume of the positive electrode decreases. On the other hand, if the packing density is larger than 3.1 g · cm− 3 , the conductive agent cannot sufficiently and uniformly cover the positive electrode active material due to excessive pressure.

When the thickness of the positive electrode plate is 0.1 mm or more, the durability of the positive electrode plate increases and the battery capacity exceeds 10 mAh, so that the positive electrode plate can be used for various applications such as watches, calculators, and backup memories. The thickness of the positive electrode plate is 0.3mm
In the case described above, the durability of the positive electrode plate is further increased, and the usage is expanded because the battery capacity is as large as 30 mAh or more.

A mixture of graphite and acetylene black at a weight ratio of 1: 1 is used as a conductive agent, and polyvinylidene fluoride is added to n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) at 10% by weight.
The solution was prepared as a binder. The positive electrode active material, the conductive agent, and the binder were kneaded at a weight ratio of 85.0: 10.0: 50.0 to obtain a slurry mixture. When the slurry mixture was dried, the weight ratio of the positive electrode active material: the conductive agent: the binder in the positive electrode mixture was 85.0: 10.0: 5.0, and the weight of the conductive agent was 10.0% by weight based on the positive electrode mixture. It will be contained. This positive electrode mixture was filled in an aluminum sponge and dried, and then the packing density of the positive electrode mixture was 2.8 gcm.
