Description

The present invention relates to a separator for a non-aqueous secondary battery, a non-aqueous secondary battery, and a method for producing a separator for a non-aqueous secondary battery.

Non-aqueous secondary batteries represented by lithium ion secondary batteries have high energy density and are widely used as power sources for portable electronic devices such as notebook computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, and camcorders. The role of the separator is important in ensuring the safety of this lithium ion secondary battery, and from the viewpoint of having high strength and a shutdown function, a polyethylene microporous film has been used, but with the increase in energy density year by year, Heat resistance is also beginning to be required to ensure safety.

From the viewpoint of ensuring safety at such high temperatures, as one of the conventional techniques for improving the heat resistance of separators, a heat-resistant porous material containing a heat-resistant resin such as wholly aromatic polyamide on a porous substrate made of polyolefin is known. A separator having a porous layer has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).
, 2).

On the other hand, with the miniaturization and weight reduction of portable electronic devices, the exterior and exterior of non-aqueous secondary batteries have been simplified, and aluminum cans have been developed instead of stainless steel cans as exterior materials. In addition, aluminum laminated film packs have been developed in place of metal cans. Since this aluminum laminate film pack is soft, in a battery using the pack as an exterior material (so-called soft pack battery), due to external impact and expansion and contraction of the electrode due to charge and discharge, the electrode and the separator There are cases where gaps are easily formed between them and the cycle life of the battery may be reduced, and in the worst case, a short circuit between the electrodes may be caused, resulting in a fire accident. For this reason, a technique for increasing the adhesion between the electrode and the separator is also being demanded.

As one of the techniques for increasing the adhesive force between the separator and the electrode, a separator having a porous layer containing a polyvinylidene fluoride resin on a porous substrate has been proposed (
For example, see Patent Document 3).

Japanese Patent No. 4291392 Japanese Patent No. 4364940 Japanese Patent No. 4127989

However, in the conventional techniques such as Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above, a heat-resistant resin such as wholly aromatic polyamide does not exhibit adhesiveness to the electrode, and thus the separator and the electrode cannot be bonded. Moreover, in the separator described in Patent Document 3 described above, the glass transition temperature of the polyvinylidene fluoride resin is low, and the heat resistance may not be sufficient. That is, the conventional separators as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 do not have both functions of heat resistance and adhesion to the electrodes. In a soft pack battery with higher energy density, a separator having both heat resistance and adhesiveness is important in order to increase safety at high temperatures and increase the cycle life of the battery.

In particular, when a battery is manufactured, a dry heat press (a heat press treatment performed without impregnating the separator with an electrolyte) may be applied to a laminate in which a separator is disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode. If the separator and the electrode are well bonded by pressing, the production yield of the battery can be improved. Therefore, a separator having an excellent function of adhering to an electrode by dry heat pressing (hereinafter referred to as dry adhesion) is desired.

Here, it is conceivable to obtain a separator having both heat resistance and dry adhesiveness by combining a heat-resistant resin such as aromatic polyamide and a polyvinylidene fluoride resin. However, the resins have an affinity, and a practical separator cannot be obtained by simply combining resins having different functions. For example, since aromatic polyamide and polyvinylidene fluoride resin have poor affinity for each other, when these resins are mixed and applied onto a substrate to obtain a composite film, the coating film can be easily removed from the substrate. It peels off, or the coating film itself is brittle and has poor handling properties. In addition, for example, when a heat-resistant layer containing an aromatic polyamide is formed on a porous substrate, and an adhesive layer containing a polyvinylidene fluoride resin is further formed on the heat-resistant layer, a composite film is obtained.
The adhesive layer easily peels from the heat-resistant layer, resulting in poor handling properties. Therefore, it is necessary to design the separator in consideration of the affinity between the resins and the handling property.

In view of the background described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a separator that has both heat resistance and dry adhesiveness, and that is excellent in handling properties.

[Manufacturing method of separator]
(Type A manufacturing method)
The above-described type A separator can be produced, for example, by a wet coating method having the following steps (i) to (iii).

(I) coating a porous substrate with a heat-resistant resin having an amide structure having a glass transition temperature of 200 ° C. or higher, an acrylic resin, and a solvent capable of dissolving the heat-resistant resin and the acrylic resin; A step of forming a coating layer.
(Ii) The porous base material on which the coating layer is formed is immersed in a coagulating liquid containing a poor solvent for the heat-resistant resin and the acrylic resin, and the heat-resistant resin and the acrylic resin are induced while inducing phase separation in the coating layer. Solidifying and forming a porous layer on the porous substrate to obtain a composite film.
(Iii) A step of washing and drying the composite membrane.

The coating liquid is prepared by dissolving or dispersing a heat-resistant resin having an amide structure having a glass transition temperature of 200 ° C. or higher and an acrylic resin in a solvent. When the filler is contained in the heat-resistant adhesive porous layer, the filler is dispersed in the coating solution.

The solvent used for preparing the coating solution includes a solvent that dissolves the heat-resistant resin and the acrylic resin (hereinafter also referred to as “good solvent”). Examples of the good solvent include polar amide solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, and dimethylformamide.

From the viewpoint of forming a porous layer having a good porous structure, the solvent used for the preparation of the coating liquid,
It is preferred to include a phase separation agent that induces phase separation. Therefore, the solvent used for preparing the coating liquid is preferably a mixed solvent of a good solvent and a phase separation agent. The phase separation agent is preferably mixed with a good solvent in an amount within a range that can ensure a viscosity suitable for coating. Phase separation agents include water, methanol, ethanol, propyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, butanediol,
Examples include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and tripropylene glycol.

The solvent used for the preparation of the coating liquid is a mixed solvent of a good solvent and a phase separation agent from the viewpoint of forming a good porous structure, including 60% by mass or more of the good solvent, and 40% of the phase separation agent. % Is preferable.

The resin concentration of the coating liquid is preferably 1% by mass to 20% by mass from the viewpoint of forming a good porous structure. In particular, a heat-resistant resin and an acrylic resin having an amide structure are separated into two phases at a high temperature in a mixed solvent of a good solvent and a phase separation agent, and become a single phase compatible at a low temperature near room temperature, so-called L
There may be a CST (low temperature critical solution temperature) phase diagram. In producing the separator of the present invention, it is preferable to use a two-phase coating liquid that is in a one-phase or translucent state and in a partially compatible state. The heat-resistant resin and the acrylic resin are coated on the porous base material in a state of being compatible or partially compatible as described above, and solidified and phase-separated, so that the heat-resistant resin has 10 to 10 in the three-dimensional network structure.
A structure in which an acrylic resin having a particle shape of 500 nm is dispersed can be formed. From such a viewpoint, the resin concentration of the coating liquid is preferably 2 to 13% by mass, and more preferably 3 to 10% by mass.

Examples of means for applying the coating liquid to the porous substrate include a Mayer bar, a die coater, a reverse roll coater, and a gravure coater. When forming a porous layer on both surfaces of a porous base material, it is preferable from a viewpoint of productivity to apply a coating liquid to a base material simultaneously on both surfaces.

The coagulation liquid may be water alone, but generally contains a good solvent and a phase separation agent used for preparing the coating liquid and water. It is preferable in production that the mixing ratio of the good solvent and the phase separation agent is matched to the mixing ratio of the mixed solvent used for preparing the coating liquid. The content of water in the coagulation liquid is preferably 40% by mass to 90% by mass from the viewpoint of formation of a porous structure and productivity. The temperature of the coagulation liquid is, for example, 20 ° C to 50 ° C.

The separator of the present invention is produced by washing and drying the solidified separator. The heat-resistant adhesive porous layer of the separator obtained after washing with water has a structure in which an acrylic resin having a particle shape of 10 to 500 nm is dispersed in a three-dimensional network structure of an aromatic polyamide. When the glass transition temperature of the acrylic resin is 0 to 80 ° C., the structure after washing with water is substantially maintained even after drying. The drying temperature is preferably 55 to 105 ° C.

(Type B manufacturing method)
The type B separator described above can be manufactured by using an acrylic resin having a glass transition temperature of less than 0 ° C. as the acrylic resin in the type A manufacturing method. Acrylic resins having a glass transition temperature of less than 0 ° C. often contain long-chain alkyl groups in the molecular skeleton, and the acrylic resin itself tends to have a reduced surface tension. May have a low surface tension. For this reason, when the high temperature treatment is performed in the drying process, the acrylic resin itself induces spontaneous wetting, resulting in a heat-resistant adhesive porous layer having a structure covering the surface of the three-dimensional network structure of the heat-resistant resin.

Further, the type B separator can be produced by other methods, for example, the following steps (
It can be produced by a wet coating method having i) to (iii). The description of the parts common to the type A manufacturing conditions described above is omitted.
(I) coating a porous substrate with a heat-resistant resin having an amide structure having a glass transition temperature of 200 ° C. or higher, an acrylic resin that is an aqueous emulsion, and a solvent capable of dissolving the heat-resistant resin; Forming a coating layer;
(Ii) The porous base material on which the coating layer is formed is immersed in a coagulation liquid containing a poor solvent for the heat-resistant resin, and the heat-resistant resin is solidified while inducing phase separation in the coating layer, Forming a porous layer thereon to obtain a composite membrane;
(Iii) A step of washing and drying the composite membrane, and a method for producing a separator for a non-aqueous secondary battery.

In the step (i), as the solvent capable of dissolving the heat-resistant resin, the solvent in the type A production method described above can be used.
In this method, since water becomes a poor solvent for the coating liquid, a predetermined amount of acrylic resin cannot be added unless the solid content concentration of the aqueous emulsion is increased. Therefore, the solid content concentration of the aqueous emulsion in the coating liquid is preferably 30 to 80 wt%. Solid content concentration is 8
If it is 0 wt% or less, aggregation of emulsion particles can be suppressed, and an acrylic resin having a particle shape can be dispersed in the three-dimensional network structure of the heat-resistant resin. On the other hand, if the solid content concentration is 30 wt% or more, it is possible to add an acrylic resin particle in an amount capable of exhibiting adhesive performance.

The acrylic resin which is an aqueous emulsion is preferably an acrylic resin having a glass transition temperature of less than 0 ° C.
The average particle size of the emulsion particles is preferably in the range of 10 to 500 nm. When the emulsion particle diameter is 500 nm or less, gas or liquid can pass from one surface to the other surface. On the other hand, when the emulsion particle diameter exceeds 10 nm, sufficient adhesion to the electrode can be obtained. A more preferable range of the emulsion particle diameter is 20 to 200 nm, and more preferably 25 to 100 nm.

In this production method, since the aqueous emulsion is added to the good solvent, the surface tension of the coating liquid tends to increase. For this reason, the wettability of the coating liquid with respect to a porous base material falls, and a coating film may peel from a porous base material in the coagulation | solidification or the water washing process. In such a case, it is preferable to add a water-soluble surfactant to the coating solution. Any water-soluble surfactant can be extracted in the washing step. The type of the surfactant is not particularly limited as long as it is a water-soluble surfactant, but a fluorine-based surfactant is more preferable because it can reduce the surface tension of the organic solvent.

(Other manufacturing methods)
The separator of the present disclosure can also be manufactured by a dry coating method. The dry coating method is to apply a coating liquid containing a resin on a porous substrate to form a coating layer, then dry the coating layer to solidify the coating layer,
In this method, a porous layer is formed on a porous substrate. However, since the porous layer tends to be denser in the dry coating method than in the wet coating method, the wet coating method is preferable from the viewpoint of obtaining a good porous structure.

The separator of the present disclosure can also be manufactured by a method in which a porous layer is produced as an independent sheet, and this porous layer is stacked on a porous substrate and laminated by thermocompression bonding or an adhesive. Examples of a method for producing the porous layer as an independent sheet include a method in which the wet coating method or the dry coating method described above is applied to form a porous layer on the release sheet, and the release sheet is peeled off from the porous layer. It is done.

Examples of the exterior material include metal cans and aluminum laminate film packs. The battery has a square shape, a cylindrical shape, a coin shape, and the like, but the separator of the present disclosure is suitable for any shape.

As a method for producing the non-aqueous secondary battery of the present disclosure, a separator is impregnated with an electrolyte solution and subjected to a hot press treatment (referred to as “dry heat press” in the present disclosure) to be adhered to an electrode,

The press pressure in the dry bonding process is 0.5 kg to 4 kg as a load per 1 cm ^{2 of} electrode.
0 kg is preferred. The pressing time is preferably adjusted according to the pressing temperature and pressing pressure, and is adjusted, for example, in the range of 0.1 minute to 60 minutes.
