Description

本発明は、炭素材の製造方法、炭素材及びこれを用いたリチウムイオン二次電池用負極材に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a carbon material production method, a carbon material, and a negative electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery using the carbon material.

現在、リチウムイオン二次電池の負極に使用されている材料としては、主として天然グラファイト及び人造グラファイトが挙げられる。これらの材料の特徴は充放電効率が90%以上と高いこと、真密度が難黒鉛化炭素材と比較して高いことなどから電極密度を高く高エネルギー化し易いなどの点がある。しかし、グラフファイト系炭素材料には理論充放電容量が存在し(372mAh/g)、二次電池のエネルギー密度を向上させるためには電極密度、充放電効率の更なる向上が必須とされている。
グラファイトに関しては、電極密度を向上させるために様々な検討がなされており、例えば、燐片状、ミルド状及び球状などのさまざまな形状による検討がなされている。さらに、充放電効率を高めるなどの検討もなされているが(例えば、特許文献1、非特許文献1参照。)、更なる検討が必要とされている。
また、難黒鉛化材などにも同様な検討がされているが、難黒鉛化材は黒鉛よりも、重量当りの放電容量は高いものの炭素材自身の真密度が低いこと、充放電効率が低いなどのことから体積当りの放電容量が低くなってしまうのが現状である(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。また、炭素質材料において低温で焼成された易黒鉛化材なども初期の放電容量は高いものの、初期充放電効率、サイクル性などに難を抱えており、難黒鉛化材も、易黒鉛化材も初期充放電効率、放電容量、サイクル性、負荷特性などのバランスを取ろうとすると、容量が黒鉛系材料と同等、もしくは小さくなってしまうのが欠点であった。
Currently, materials used for the negative electrode of lithium ion secondary batteries mainly include natural graphite and artificial graphite. The characteristics of these materials are that the charge / discharge efficiency is as high as 90% or more, and the true density is higher than that of the non-graphitizable carbon material. However, the graphite-based carbon material has a theoretical charge / discharge capacity (372 mAh / g), and in order to improve the energy density of the secondary battery, further improvements in electrode density and charge / discharge efficiency are essential. .
Regarding graphite, various studies have been made to improve the electrode density. For example, various shapes such as flakes, milleds, and spheres have been studied. Further studies have been made to increase the charge / discharge efficiency (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 1), but further studies are required.
The same study has been made on non-graphitized materials, but non-graphitized materials have a higher discharge capacity per weight than graphite, but the carbon material itself has a lower true density and lower charge / discharge efficiency. The current situation is that the discharge capacity per volume becomes low (for example, see Patent Document 2). In addition, graphitized materials baked at low temperatures in carbonaceous materials have high initial discharge capacities, but have difficulties in initial charge and discharge efficiency, cycleability, etc. However, when trying to balance the initial charge / discharge efficiency, discharge capacity, cycle performance, load characteristics, etc., the capacity is equal to or smaller than that of the graphite-based material.

Next, although the manufacturing method of the carbon material of this invention is demonstrated concretely, this invention is not limited to these.
The method for producing a carbon material of the present invention includes a first heat treatment step for obtaining a carbon precursor using the non-graphitizable carbon source, and a second heat treatment step for obtaining a carbon material using the carbon precursor, Is included.

本発明における炭素前駆体とは、第一の熱処理により得られる炭素を指し、炭素中間体を意味する。前記炭素前駆体としては炭素:水素の元素比が7:3〜9:1の元素組成を有することが好ましい。   The carbon precursor in the present invention refers to carbon obtained by the first heat treatment, and means a carbon intermediate. The carbon precursor preferably has an elemental composition with a carbon: hydrogen element ratio of 7: 3 to 9: 1.

まず、第1の熱処理工程について説明する。
前記第1の熱処理工程においては、前記難黒鉛性炭素源を、第1の熱処理を行うことにより、炭素前駆体を得るが、第1の熱処理条件としては、例えば、熱処理温度として、400〜800℃の温度範囲が好ましく、さらに好ましくは400〜600℃の温度範囲である。これらの温度は、第1の熱処理における最終到達温度(保持温度)である。また、前記熱処理時間として、通常、最終熱処理温度まで1〜50時間で行うことができる。
また、第1の熱処理における雰囲気としては、大気中、水素ガス、窒素ガス、ヘリウムガス及びアルゴンガスなどの不活性ガス雰囲気中、並びに、真空中など、いずれであっても良く、また、これらの2種以上の雰囲気中で熱処理を行うことができる。これらの中でも、良好な充放電特性を発現する炭素材を効率よく製造する上で、不活性ガス雰囲気中で行うことが好ましい。
First, the first heat treatment step will be described.
In the first heat treatment step, a carbon precursor is obtained by performing the first heat treatment on the non-graphitizable carbon source. As the first heat treatment condition, for example, a heat treatment temperature is 400 to 800. A temperature range of ° C. is preferred, and a temperature range of 400 to 600 ° C. is more preferred. These temperatures are final reached temperatures (holding temperatures) in the first heat treatment. Moreover, as said heat processing time, it can carry out normally in 1 to 50 hours to the final heat processing temperature.
In addition, the atmosphere in the first heat treatment may be any of air, an inert gas atmosphere such as hydrogen gas, nitrogen gas, helium gas, and argon gas, and a vacuum. Heat treatment can be performed in two or more atmospheres. Among these, it is preferable to carry out in an inert gas atmosphere in order to efficiently produce a carbon material that exhibits good charge / discharge characteristics.

前記難黒鉛性炭素源が、揮発分を含む場合は、前記第1の熱処理の前に、前記炭素源が炭素化せず、前記揮発分が揮散する温度で揮発分を除去する工程を行うことが好ましい。   When the non-graphitizable carbon source contains a volatile component, a step of removing the volatile component at a temperature at which the carbon source is not carbonized and the volatile component is volatilized is performed before the first heat treatment. Is preferred.

このようにして得られる炭素前駆体は、炭素:水素の元素比が7:3〜9:1で構成されるものであることが好ましい。
このような元素比となることにより、炭素前駆体及び炭素材の吸湿率、比表面積、細孔構造の制御がし易くなり、充放電特性、サイクル性及び負荷特性に優れた炭素材を得ることができる。
The carbon precursor thus obtained is preferably one having a carbon: hydrogen element ratio of 7: 3 to 9: 1.
By becoming such an element ratio, it becomes easy to control the moisture absorption rate, specific surface area, and pore structure of the carbon precursor and the carbon material, and obtain a carbon material excellent in charge / discharge characteristics, cycle performance and load characteristics. Can do.

また、前記炭素前駆体の吸湿率としては、0.1〜10%が好ましく、0.1〜5%がより好ましい。該吸湿率は低いほど好ましいが、前記範囲とすることにより、前記炭素前駆体における炭素の割合が多くなり、良好な充放電特性をもつ炭素材を得ることができる。   Moreover, as a moisture absorption rate of the said carbon precursor, 0.1 to 10% is preferable and 0.1 to 5% is more preferable. The lower the moisture absorption rate, the better. However, by setting the moisture absorption rate within the above range, the carbon ratio in the carbon precursor increases and a carbon material having good charge / discharge characteristics can be obtained.

さらに、炭素材を得る第2の熱処理工程に用いる炭素前駆体としては、10〜85m2/gのBET比表面積を有することが好ましく、20〜60m2/gであることがより好ましい。このようなBET比表面積とすることにより、上記吸湿率を制御し易くなると共に、第2の熱処理を行い得られた炭素材のBET比表面積を制御することができ、炭素材の品質を安定化することができる。炭素材の品質を安定化することは二次電池の品質・設計を簡略化することに繋がり、また、二次電池の製品品質を安定化することができ、非常に有用である。 Further, as the carbon precursor used in the second heat treatment step of obtaining a carbon material preferably has a BET specific surface area of 10~85m 2 / g, more preferably 20~60m 2 / g. By adopting such a BET specific surface area, the moisture absorption rate can be easily controlled, and the BET specific surface area of the carbon material obtained by performing the second heat treatment can be controlled to stabilize the quality of the carbon material. can do. Stabilizing the quality of the carbon material leads to simplification of the quality and design of the secondary battery, and can stabilize the product quality of the secondary battery, which is very useful.

前記炭素前駆体におけるBET比表面積の調整方法としては、粉砕による方法が挙げられる。粉砕方法の具体例としては、ボールミル、ジェットミル、乾式ビーズミルなど粉砕装置を用いた方法が挙げられるが、粒子形状や均一な粒度分布が得られることから、ボールミルによる粉砕が好ましい。
また、上記粉砕により得られる炭素前駆体の平均粒子径は0.1〜7μmであることが好ましく、更に好ましくは3〜5μmである。前記平均粒子径は、炭素材の平均粒子径に相当するものとなる。このような粒子径とすることにより、第2の熱処理を行った場合に炭素材の炭化度を均一化することができ、負極材として用いた場合、電極密度を大きく向上させることができると共に、電極の薄膜化及び抵抗値を低下させることができる。
Examples of the method for adjusting the BET specific surface area in the carbon precursor include a method by pulverization. Specific examples of the pulverization method include a method using a pulverizer such as a ball mill, a jet mill, and a dry bead mill. However, pulverization by a ball mill is preferable because a particle shape and a uniform particle size distribution can be obtained.
Moreover, it is preferable that the average particle diameter of the carbon precursor obtained by the said grinding | pulverization is 0.1-7 micrometers, More preferably, it is 3-5 micrometers. The average particle diameter corresponds to the average particle diameter of the carbon material. By using such a particle size, the carbonization degree of the carbon material can be made uniform when the second heat treatment is performed, and when used as a negative electrode material, the electrode density can be greatly improved, It is possible to reduce the thickness of the electrode and the resistance value.

本発明におけるBET法による比表面積は、本発明で得られる炭素前駆体及び炭素材を、BET3点法(0.05<P/Po<0.35)により測定することにより得ることができる。
具体的な算出法としては、下記(1)式より単分子吸着量Wmを算出し、下記(2)式より総表面積Stotalを算出し、下記(3)式より比表面積Sを求めた。

For example, a laser manufactured by Horiba, Ltd. It can be measured using diffraction LA-920.

重量増加率(%)=144h後重量(g)/初期重量(g)×100
The moisture absorption in the present invention was determined by weighing 5 g of the carbon precursor and carbon material obtained in the present invention, respectively, and then leaving them for 144 hours in an atmosphere at a temperature of 40 ° C. and a humidity of 90%. Thereafter, the weight is measured, and the weight increase rate can be calculated by the following formula.
Weight increase rate (%) = weight after 144 h (g) / initial weight (g) × 100

次に、第2の熱処理工程について説明する。
前記第2の熱処理工程においては、前記炭素前駆体を用いて、第2の熱処理を行うことにより、炭素材を得るが、第2の熱処理条件としては、例えば、熱処理温度として、800℃〜1400℃の温度範囲が好ましく、さらに好ましくは1000〜1300℃の温度範囲である。これらの温度は、第2の熱処理における最終到達温度(保持温度)である。

なお、第2の熱処理後に、不活性雰囲気を開放する際は、第2の熱処理工程において製造された炭素材が空気中の酸素と反応しない温度、すなわち室温〜100℃の温度範囲で開放することが好ましい。
Next, the second heat treatment step will be described.
In the second heat treatment step, a carbon material is obtained by performing the second heat treatment using the carbon precursor. The second heat treatment condition is, for example, a heat treatment temperature of 800 ° C. to 1400 ° C. A temperature range of ° C. is preferable, and a temperature range of 1000 to 1300 ° C. is more preferable. These temperatures are final reached temperatures (holding temperatures) in the second heat treatment.
Moreover, when setting it as the said 2nd heat processing temperature, it can carry out by heating with the temperature increase rate of 50-200 degreeC / hour normally. In the cooling after the second heat treatment, the cooling rate is not particularly limited, but the cooling can usually be performed at 50 to 400 ° C./hour.

このようにして得られる炭素材は、炭素:水素の元素比が95:5〜99.7:0.3で構成されるものであることが好ましい。
このような元素比となることにより、炭素材の比表面積をより小さくすることができ、また、均一な細孔構造となり、前記炭素材を電極に用いた場合、充放電特性、サイクル性及び負荷特性に優れた炭素材を得ることができる。
It is preferable that the carbon material obtained in this way is composed of a carbon: hydrogen element ratio of 95: 5 to 99.7: 0.3.

本発明においては、前記炭素前駆体における吸湿率が低く、さらには前記炭素前駆体の重量増加と前記炭素材の重量増加との比において、より小さい方がより好ましい。これにより、充放電特性の高い負極材となる、良好な炭素材を得ることができる。
また、このような炭素材を用いると二次電池において正極材であるLi複合金属や電解液の分解を引き起こし難く、良好な二次電池の特性を発現することができる。
In the present invention, the moisture absorption rate of the carbon precursor is low, and it is more preferable that the ratio of the increase in the weight of the carbon precursor and the increase in the weight of the carbon material is smaller. Thereby, the favorable carbon material used as a negative electrode material with a high charging / discharging characteristic can be obtained.
Further, when such a carbon material is used, it is difficult to cause decomposition of the Li composite metal that is the positive electrode material or the electrolytic solution in the secondary battery, and good secondary battery characteristics can be exhibited.

さらに、炭素材は、1〜10m2/gのBET比表面積を有することが好ましく、3〜7m2/gであることがより好ましい。このようなBET比表面積とすることにより、前記炭素材をリチウムイオン二次電池用負極材に用いた場合、充放電特性およびサイクル性、負荷特性を更に優れたものにすることができる。 Further, the carbon material preferably has a BET specific surface area of 1 to 10 m 2 / g, more preferably 3~7m 2 / g. By setting it as such a BET specific surface area, when the said carbon material is used for the negative electrode material for lithium ion secondary batteries, a charge / discharge characteristic, cycling property, and a load characteristic can be made further excellent.

本発明の炭素材を用いたリチウムイオン二次電池用負極材電極としては、前記炭素材、結着剤及び導電剤などを含む負極材用組成物を用いて作製することができる。前記結着剤及び導電剤の量は特に限定されないが、通常、炭素材に対して1〜10重量%用いることができる。結着剤については好ましくは1〜15重量%が好ましく、さらに好ましくは3〜10重量%である。前記範囲外でも使用できるが、結着剤量が、多すぎると、電極の抵抗が上がり電極として好ましくなくなる恐れがあり、少なすぎると、焦電体との密着性が低下することがあり、この場合、二次電池において、充放電を繰り返すにつれて炭素材が焦電体から剥れを生じことにより、短絡などの原因となる恐れがある。導電剤量については、好ましくは1〜10%が好ましく、さらに好ましくは3〜7%が好ましい。前記範囲外でも使用できるが、導電剤量が多すぎると、電極中の炭素材量が減少し、電極として、体積当りの容量が低下する恐れがあり、導電剤量が少なすぎると、電極の抵抗が上がる恐れがある。   The negative electrode material electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery using the carbon material of the present invention can be prepared using the negative electrode material composition containing the carbon material, a binder, a conductive agent, and the like. Although the amount of the binder and the conductive agent is not particularly limited, it can usually be used in an amount of 1 to 10% by weight based on the carbon material. The binder is preferably 1 to 15% by weight, more preferably 3 to 10% by weight. Although it can be used outside the above range, if the amount of the binder is too large, the resistance of the electrode may increase and it may become unpreferable as an electrode, and if it is too small, the adhesion with the pyroelectric material may be reduced. In such a case, in the secondary battery, the carbon material may be peeled off from the pyroelectric body as charging and discharging are repeated, which may cause a short circuit. The amount of the conductive agent is preferably 1 to 10%, more preferably 3 to 7%. Although it can be used outside the above range, if the amount of the conductive agent is too large, the amount of the carbon material in the electrode decreases, and the capacity per volume as the electrode may be reduced. If the amount of the conductive agent is too small, Resistance may increase.

そして、炭素材を固定化するために、前記極性溶媒を除去する工程として、50〜200℃で熱処理を行う。熱処理の時間は特に限定されないが、炭素材が酸化されず、極性溶媒が除去できる温度、時間で行うことが好ましい。
前記集電体用金属箔としては、銅箔などが挙げられる。
