【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、非水二次電池の正極活物質などに利用可能なリチウム含有複合酸化物と、それを正極に用いることにより、高温でのサイクル特性や保存特性を改善した非水二次電池に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、携帯電話やノート型パソコンなどのポータブル電子機器の発達や、電気自動車の実用化などに伴い、小型軽量でかつ高容量の二次電池が必要とされるようになってきた。現在、この要求に応える高容量二次電池としては、正極材料としてLiCoOを用い、負極活物質として炭素系材料を用いた非水二次電池が商品化されている。上記非水二次電池はエネルギー密度が高く、小型、軽量化が図れることから、ポータブル電子機器の電源として注目されている。この非水二次電池の正極材料として使用されているLiCoOは、製造が容易でありかつ取り扱いが容易なことから、好適な活物質として多用されている。しかしながら、LiCoOは希少金属であるCoを原料として製造されるために、今後資源不足が深刻化すると予想される。さらに、Coは高価であり、価格変動も大きいため、安価で供給の安定している正極材料の開発が望まれている。
【0003】
上記理由に鑑み、構成元素の価格が安価で、供給が安定しているMnを構成元素としたリチウムマンガン酸化物系の複合酸化物材料が有望視されている。その中でも、Liに対して4V付近の電圧領域で充放電が可能であるスピネル型構造のLiMnや、層状のLiMnOに関する研究が盛んに行われており、特に、上記LiMnOのMnの一部をNiやCo、Alなどで置換したリチウム含有複合酸化物が、LiCoOに代わる材料として期待されている(特許文献1〜3参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、本発明者らが上記LiMnOのMnの一部をNiやCoなどで置換した複合酸化物について詳細な検討を行った結果、化合物の組成、特に、Liとその他金属元素との量比や、置換元素の種類や量比、および複合酸化物が形成されるまでの合成過程などにより、その構造や特性などの物性が顕著に変化することをつきとめた。
【0006】
特に、Niによる置換を行った場合は、MnとNiとの量比、およびこれら元素とそれ以外の置換元素との量比により、合成される複合酸化物の物性が大きく変化し、MnとNiとの量比をほぼ1:1とし、MnおよびNiとそれ以外の置換元素との量比を一定範囲としなければ均質で特性の優れた化合物が得られないこと、Mnおよびその他置換元素とLiとの量比により複合酸化物の真密度が大きく変動することなどが明らかとなった。
【0007】
さらに、上記リチウム含有複合酸化物の粒子形態によって、電池の特性が大きく影響されることもわかった。
【0008】
本発明は、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果なされたものであり、限られた組成範囲の層状構造を有する複合酸化物で、かつ、特定の粒子形態を有するリチウム含有複合酸化物を正極の活物質として用いることにより、高容量で充放電サイクルに対する耐久性に優れ、高温下での貯蔵性が優れた非水二次電池を提供するものである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の非水二次電池は、正極と、負極と、非水電解質とを備えた非水二次電池であって、前記正極が、リチウム含有複合酸化物と、導電助剤と、バインダーとを含む正極合剤を有し、前記リチウム含有複合酸化物が、一般式Li1+x+ αNi(1-x-y+ δ )/2Mn(1-x-y- δ )/2y2[ただし、0≦x≦0.05、−0.05≦x+α≦0.05、0≦y≦0.4であり、−0.1≦δ≦0.1であって、MはMg、Ti、Cr、Fe、Co、Cu、Zn、Al、Ge、Snからなる群から選択された1種以上の元素]で表され、一次粒子が凝集して二次粒子を形成した複合酸化物であり、前記一次粒子の平均粒子径が0.8〜3μmであり、前記二次粒子の平均粒子径が5〜20μmであり、BET比表面積が0.6〜2m2/gであるリチウム含有複合酸化物Aと、前記複合酸化物Aの二次粒子の平均粒子径よりも小さい平均粒子径を有するリチウム含有複合酸化物Bとを含む混合体であり、前記複合酸化物Bの平均粒子径が、前記複合酸化物Aの二次粒子の平均粒子径の3/5以下であり、前記複合酸化物Bの割合が、正極活物質全体の10〜40重量%であることを特徴とする。
【0011】
また、本発明の非水二次電池は、正極と、負極と、非水電解質とを備えた非水二次電池であって、前記正極が、リチウム含有複合酸化物と、導電助剤と、バインダーとを含む正極合剤を有し、前記リチウム含有複合酸化物が、一般式Li1+x+ αNi(1-x-y+ δ )/2Mn(1-x-y- δ )/2y2[ただし、0≦x≦0.05、−0.05≦x+α≦0.05、0≦y≦0.4であり、−0.1≦δ≦0.1であって、MはMg、Ti、Cr、Fe、Co、Cu、Zn、Al、Ge、Snからなる群から選択された1種以上の元素]で表され、一次粒子が凝集して二次粒子を形成した複合酸化物であり、前記一次粒子の平均粒子径が0.8〜3μmあり、前記二次粒子の平均粒子径が5〜20μmであり、BET比表面積が0.6〜2m2/gであるリチウム含有複合酸化物Aと、一般式Li1+a+b1-a2[ただし、0≦a≦0.05、−0.05≦a+b≦0.05であって、RはMg、Ti、Cr、Fe、Co、Cu、Zn、Al、Ge、Snからなる群から選択され、少なくともCoを含む1種以上の元素]で表され、前記複合酸化物Aの二次粒子の平均粒子径よりも小さい平均粒子径を有するリチウム含有複合酸化物Bとを含む混合体であることを特徴とする。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、発明の実施の形態により、本発明をより具体的に説明する。本発明のリチウム含有複合酸化物は、一般式Li1+x+ αNi(1-x-y+ δ )/2Mn(1-x-y- δ )/2y2[ただし、0≦x≦0.05、−0.05≦x+α≦0.05、0≦y≦0.4であり、−0.1≦δ≦0.1であって、MはMg、Ti、Cr、Fe、Co、Cu、Zn、Al、Ge、Snからなる群から選択された1種以上の元素]で表され、一次粒子が凝集して二次粒子を形成した複合酸化物であり、その一次粒子の平均粒子径が0.8〜3μmであり、二次粒子の平均粒子径が5〜20μmであって、BET比表面積が0.6〜2m2/gであることを特徴とする。
【0013】
すなわち、本発明のリチウム含有複合酸化物は、少なくともNiとMnを構成元素として含有し、かつ、NiとMnの量比が1:1となる組成を中心とした、ごく限られた組成範囲の複合酸化物である。
【0014】
本発明において、上記のような限られた組成範囲のみが選択されるのは以下の理由による。すなわち、NiおよびMnを有する層状のリチウム含有複合酸化物においては、NiとMnの量比が1:1となる一般式LiNi1/2Mn1/22で表される組成を基本として、NiおよびMnがそれぞれx/2ずつLiで置換され、NiとMnの量比が1/2からそれぞれδ/2および−δ/2だけずれ、Liの量比がαだけ幅を有し、かつ、NiおよびMnが、それぞれy/2ずつ元素M(ただしMはMg、Ti、Cr、Fe、Co、Cu、Zn、Al、Ge、Snより選択される1種以上の元素)で置換された組成、すなわち、一般Li1+x+ αNi(1-x-y+ δ )/2Mn(1-x-y- δ )/2y2[ただし、0≦x≦0.05、−0.05≦x+α≦0.05、0≦y≦0.4であり、−0.1≦δ≦0.1であって、MはMg、Ti、Cr、Fe、Co、Cu、Zn、Al、Ge、Snからなる群から選択された1種以上の元素]で表される組成範囲において、その結晶構造が安定化され、4V付近の電位領域での充放電の可逆性や充放電サイクルに対する耐久性に優れた複合酸化物が得られることによる。
【0015】
これは、複合酸化物中のMnの平均価数が4価近傍の値(およそ3.3〜4価)をとることにより、充放電でのLiのドープおよび脱ドープの際に、結晶中のMnの移動が抑制されることなどによると思われる。
【0016】
また、y>0で、元素Mとして少なくともCoを含有する場合は、化合物の導電性が向上し、大電流放電時の負荷特性が向上することがわかった。
【0017】
さらに詳細な組成検討によれば、Ni、MnおよびMの量比が1:1:1となる組成、すなわち一般式LiNi1/3Mn1/31/3で表される組成の近傍において、化合物の安定性が向上することもわかった。
【0018】
本発明の複合酸化物は、真密度が4.55〜4.95g/cmと大きな値となり、高い体積エネルギー密度を有する材料となる。Mnを一定範囲で含む複合酸化物の真密度は、その組成により大きく変化するが、上記の狭い組成範囲において構造が安定化され、単一相が形成されやすくなるため、LiCoO2の真密度に近い値となるものと考えられる。特に、化学量論比に近い組成のときにその値は大きくなり、−0.015≦x+α≦0.015において、およそ4.7g/cm3以上の高密度複合酸化物が得られる。
【0019】
上記一般式Li1+x+ αNi(1-x-y+ δ )/2Mn(1-x-y- δ )/2y2[ただし、0≦x≦0.05、−0.05≦x+α≦0.05、0≦y≦0.4であり、−0.1≦δ≦0.1であって、MはMg、Ti、Cr、Fe、Co、Cu、Zn、Al、Ge、Snからなる群から選択された1種以上の元素]において、NiとMnの量比は基本的には1:1であることを必要とし、中央値からのずれ(δ/2)は、−0.1≦δ≦0.1と小さい値しか許容されない。ただし、0.2<y≦0.4の組成範囲では、結晶構造の安定性がより高くなり、単一相が形成されやすくなるため、上記ずれが大きくなっても目的とする複合酸化物を得ることができる。このため、上記一般式において、δのとり得る範囲は、基本的には−0.1≦δ≦0.1と狭いのであるが、0.2<y≦0.4の組成範囲では、δの値を−0.24≦δ≦0.24の範囲まで拡張してもよい。
【0020】
ここで、yの上限値を0.4としたのは、y>0.4の組成、すなわち元素Mでの置換量が0.4より多くなると、目的とする複合酸化物中に異相が形成され、化合物の安定性が損なわれるなどの問題を生じやすくなるからである。
【0021】
また、上記組成を有する複合酸化物の形態として、一次粒子が凝集して二次粒子を形成したもので、その一次粒子の平均粒子径が0.8〜3μmであり、二次粒子の平均粒子径が5〜20μmである複合酸化物が選択される。これは、一次粒子が凝集して二次粒子を形成したものにおいて、充放電における反応性や複合酸化物の充填性を高めることができるからであり、一次粒子の平均粒子径を0.8〜3μmとすることにより、充放電における反応性を高めて電池の負荷特性を向上させることができ、二次粒子の平均粒子径を5〜20μmとすることにより、複合酸化物の充填性を高めて電極を高容量化することができる。
【0022】
さらに、上記複合酸化物のBET比表面積は、0.6〜2m2/gの範囲にあることが望ましい。これは、BET比表面積が0.62/g以上であるものは反応性に優れており、2m2/g以下であるものは粒子自体の密度が大きいため、電極を形成したときの電極合剤密度を大きくすることができるからである。
【0023】
上述した粒子形態のリチウム含有複合酸化物は、例えば、NiおよびMn、またはNi、Mnおよび元素Mの塩を溶解した水溶液アルカリ水溶液中投入し、NiおよびMnまたはNi、Mnおよび元素Mの共沈水酸化物を合成し、これをリチウム化合物とともに焼成し、さらに必要に応じて合成された複合酸化物を機械的に粉砕およびふるい分けすることにより得ることができる。焼成は、空気中あるいは酸素ガス中など酸素を10体積%以上含む雰囲気中で行うことが望ましく、焼成温度はおよそ700℃〜1100℃で、焼成時間は1〜24時間とするのが一般的である。また、上記焼成処理の前に、焼成温度よりも低い温度(およそ250〜850℃)で0.5〜30時間程度予備加熱を行い、さらに上記焼成処理を行うようにすれば、複合酸化物の均質化が促進されるので好ましい。ここで、複合酸化物の一次粒子径は、予備加熱あるいは焼成の温度およびその処理時間を調整することにより制御することができ、二次粒子径は、機械的な粉砕の程度およびふるい分けにより制御することができる。
【0024】
以上述べたリチウム含有複合酸化物を正極活物質として用いることにより、例えば以下のようにして非水二次電池が作製される。
【0025】
正極は、上記複合酸化物に、要すれば、例えば鱗片状黒鉛、アセチレンブラックなどのような導電助剤と、たとえばポリテトラフルオロエチレン、ポリフッ化ビニリデンなどのバインダーを加えて混合し、得られた正極合剤を成形体として用いるか、あるいは集電体としての作用を兼ねる基体に塗布し、基体と一体化したものが用いられる。ここで基体としては、例えば、アルミニウム、ステンレス鋼、チタン、銅などの金属の網、パンチングメタル、エキスパンドメタル、フォームメタル、金属箔などを用いることができる。
【0026】
なお、上記リチウム含有複合酸化物は、単独で正極活物質として用いることができるが、この場合は、その一次粒子の平均粒子径が0.8〜3μmである複合酸化物が選択される。また、二次粒子の平均粒子径が5〜20μmである前記リチウム含有複合酸化物(以下、リチウム含有複合酸化物Aとする)と、これよりも平均粒子径の小さいリチウム含有複合酸化物(以下、リチウム含有複合酸化物Bとする)とを混合して用いることにより、活物質の充填性が一層向上し、電極の容量を高めることができる。これは、平均粒子径の小さいリチウム含有複合酸化物Bが、リチウム含有複合酸化物Aの粒子間の空隙に入りこむことにより、正極合剤の密度が3.0g/cm 3 より大きくなるからである。
【0027】
本発明のリチウム含有複合酸化物をAとし、混合して用いる平均粒子径の小さいリチウム含有複合酸化物をBとした場合、リチウム含有複合酸化物Bの平均粒子径を、リチウム含有複合酸化物Aの二次粒子の平均粒子径の3/5以下とすることが望ましい。Bの平均粒子径が前記値より大きい場合、すなわちAとBの平均粒子径の差が小さい場合は、前述した効果が小さくなり、Aを単独で使用する場合との違いが少なくなる。また、Bの平均粒子径の下限値は、0.1μm程度と考えられ、これより小さくなると、活物質としての特性が低下し、混合使用する効果が生じにくくなる。なお、上記Bの平均粒子径とは、Bが一次粒子の場合はその粒子径の平均を、一次粒子が凝集して二次粒子を形成したものである場合は二次粒子の粒子径の平均を意味する。また、Aと同様の理由から、Bも一次粒子が凝集して二次粒子を形成した複合酸化物であることが望ましい。
【0028】
リチウム含有複合酸化物Bは、リチウム含有複合酸化物Aと同一組成であってもよいし、異なる組成であってもよい。組成がAと異なる場合は、一般式Li1+a+b1−a[ただし、0≦a≦0.05、−0.05≦a+b≦0.05であって、RはMg、Ti、Cr、Fe、Co、Cu、Zn、Al、Ge、Snからなる群から選択された1種以上の元素]で表される複合酸化物を好ましく用いることができる。中でも、Rが少なくともCoを含む場合は、LiCoOに比べて導電性に劣るリチウム含有複合酸化物Aを用いた電極の導電性を向上させることができる。
【0029】
リチウム含有複合酸化物Bの割合は、正極活物質中で10〜40重量%とすることが望ましい。これより少ない場合は、リチウム含有複合酸化物Aを単独で使用する場合との違いが少なくなり、これより多い場合は、リチウム含有複合酸化物Aの割合が少なくって、その効果が減少するためである。
【0030】
上記正極と対向させる負極の活物質としては、通常は、リチウムまたはLi−Al合金、Li−Pb合金、Li−In合金、Li−Ga合金などのリチウム合金や、Si、Sn、Mg−Si合金など、リチウムとの合金化が可能な元素あるいはそれら元素の合金が挙げられる。さらに、Sn酸化物、Si酸化物、LiTi12などの酸化物系材料のほか、黒鉛や繊維状炭素などの炭素質材料、リチウム含有複合窒化物などを用いることができる。また、上記の複数の材料を複合化したものを活物質とすることもできる。なお、負極についても、上記正極の場合と同様の方法により作製される。
【0031】
上記正極と負極における活物質の量比としては、負極活物質の種類によっても異なるが、一般的には、正極活物質/負極活物質=1.5〜3.5(質量比)にすることにより、正極活物質の特性をうまく利用することができる。
【0032】
本発明の非水二次電池における非水電解質としては、有機溶媒に電解質を溶解させた有機溶媒系の液状電解質すなわち電解液や、前記電解液をポリマー中に保持させたポリマー電解質などを用いることができる。その電解液あるいはポリマー電解質に含まれる有機溶媒は特に限定されるものではないが、負荷特性の点からは鎖状エステルを含んでいることが好ましい。そのような鎖状エステルとしては、たとえば、ジメチルカーボネート、ジエチルカーボネート、エチルメチルカーボネートに代表される鎖状のカーボネートや、酢酸エチル、プロピロン酸メチルなどの有機溶媒が挙げられる。これらの鎖状エステルは、単独でもあるいは2種以上を混合して用いてもよく、特に、低温特性の改善のためには、上記鎖状エステルが全有機溶媒中の50体積%以上を占めることが好ましく、特に鎖状エステルが全有機溶媒中の65体積%以上を占めることが好ましい。
【0033】
ただし、有機溶媒としては、上記鎖状エステルのみで構成するよりも、放電容量の向上をはかるために、上記鎖状エステルに誘率の高い(誘率:30以上)エステルを混合して用いることが好ましい。このようなエステルの具体例としては、たとえば、エチレンカーボネート、プロピレンカーボネート、ブチレンカーボネート、ビニレンカーボネートに代表される環状のカーボネートや、γ−ブチロラクトン、エチレングリコールサルファイトなどが挙げられ、特にエチレンカーボネート、プロピレンカーボネートなどの環状構造のエステルが好ましい。
【0034】
そのような誘電率の高いエステルは、放電容量の点から、全有機溶媒中10体積%以上、特に20体積%以上含有されることが好ましい。また、負荷特性の点からは、40体積%以下が好ましく、30体積%以下がより好ましい。
【0035】
また、上記誘電率の高いエステル以外に併用可能な溶媒としては、たとえば、1、2−ジメトキシエタン、1、3−ジオキソラン、テトラヒドロフラン、2−メチル−テトラヒドロフラン、ジエチルエーテルなどが挙げられる。そのほか、アミンイミド系有機溶媒や、含イオウまたは含フッ素系有機溶媒なども用いることができる。
【0036】
有機溶媒に溶解させる電解質としては、たとえば、LiClO、LiPF、LiBF、LiAsF、LiSbF、LiCFSO、LiCSO、LiCFCO、Li(SO、LiN(CFSO、LiC(CFSO、LiC2n+1SO(n≧2)などが単独でまたは2種以上混合して用いられる。中でも、良好な充放電特性が得られるLiPFやLiCSOなどが好ましく用いられる。電解液中における電解質の濃度は、特に限定されるものではないが、0.3〜1.7mol/dm、特に0.4〜1.5mol/dm程度が好ましい。
【0037】
また、電池の安全性や貯蔵特性を向上させるために、非水電解液に芳香族化合物を含有させてもよい。芳香族化合物としては、シクロヘキシルベンゼンやt−ブチルベンゼンなどのアルキル基を有するベンゼン類、ビフェニル、あるいはフルオロベンゼン類が好ましく用いられる。
【0038】
セパレータとしては、強度が充分でしかも電解液を多く保持できるものがよく、そのような観点から、5〜50μmの厚さで、ポリプロピレン製、ポリエチレン製、プロピレンとエチレンとの共重合体などポリオレフィン製の微孔性フィルムや不織布などが好ましく用いられる。特に、5〜20μmと薄いセパレータを用いた場合には、充放電サイクルや高温貯蔵などにおいて電池の特性が劣化しやすく、安全性も低下するが、本発明の複合酸化物正極を用いた電池は安定性と安全性に優れているため、このような薄いセパレータを用いても安定して電池を機能させることができる。
【0039】

実施例1〜6のリチウム含有複合酸化物を用いた電池は、正極合剤の充填密度が高いことにより、LiCoOを用いた比較例4の電池と同様に大きな放電容量を示した。一方、比較例1〜3のリチウム含有複合酸化物を用いた電池は、活物質の充填性が低いため、LiMnを用いた比較例5の電池と同様、低い放電容量しか得られなかった。

表3より明らかなように、実施例1および実施例6のリチウム含有複合酸化物を正極に用いることにより、サイクル特性および貯蔵特性に優れた電池が構成できたが、LiCoOやLiMnを用いた場合は、本発明のリチウム含有複合酸化物よりもサイクル特性や貯蔵特性が劣っていた。この原因を調べるため、以下の実験を行った。実施例1、比較例4および比較例5のリチウム含有複合酸化物を用いた正極をアルゴン雰囲気中で直径15mmに切り取り、5mlの電解液に浸漬して、60℃で5日間保持した。こうして得られた電解液にICP分光分析を行い、電解液中に溶出したMnおよびCoの濃度を定量した。溶出量を複合酸化物1gあたりに換算した値を表4に示した。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a lithium-containing composite oxide that can be used as a positive electrode active material of a non-aqueous secondary battery, and a non-aqueous secondary battery that improves cycle characteristics and storage characteristics at high temperatures by using the lithium-containing composite oxide. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, with the development of portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptop computers, and the practical application of electric vehicles, secondary batteries with small size and light weight and high capacity have been required. Currently, as a high-capacity secondary battery that meets this requirement, LiCoO is used as a positive electrode material.2Non-aqueous secondary batteries using a carbon-based material as a negative electrode active material have been commercialized. The non-aqueous secondary battery is attracting attention as a power source for portable electronic devices because it has a high energy density and can be reduced in size and weight. LiCoO used as a positive electrode material for this non-aqueous secondary battery2Is widely used as a preferred active material because it is easy to manufacture and easy to handle. However, LiCoO2Is manufactured using Co, a rare metal, as a raw material, and it is expected that the shortage of resources will become serious in the future. Furthermore, since Co is expensive and has a large price fluctuation, development of a positive electrode material that is inexpensive and stable in supply is desired.
[0003]
In view of the above reasons, a lithium manganese oxide-based composite oxide material containing Mn as a constituent element, for which the price of the constituent element is low and supply is stable, is considered promising. Among them, LiMn having a spinel structure that can be charged and discharged in a voltage region near 4 V with respect to Li.2O4Or layered LiMnO2In particular, research on LiMnO has been conducted.2A lithium-containing composite oxide obtained by substituting a part of Mn of Ni with Co, Al or the like is LiCoO.2Is expected as an alternative material (see Patent Documents 1 to 3).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the present inventors have described the above LiMnO.2As a result of conducting a detailed study on a composite oxide in which a part of Mn is substituted with Ni, Co, or the like, the composition of the compound, in particular, the amount ratio between Li and other metal elements, the type and amount ratio of the substitution element, It was also found that the physical properties such as the structure and properties change significantly depending on the synthesis process until the complex oxide is formed.
[0006]
In particular, when substitution with Ni is performed, the physical properties of the composite oxide to be synthesized vary greatly depending on the quantitative ratio of Mn to Ni and the quantitative ratio of these elements to other substituted elements. The ratio of Mn and Ni to other substituted elements should be within a certain range, so that a homogeneous and excellent compound cannot be obtained. It has been clarified that the true density of the composite oxide varies greatly depending on the amount ratio.
[0007]
Furthermore, it was also found that the characteristics of the battery are greatly influenced by the particle form of the lithium-containing composite oxide.
[0008]
The present invention has been made as a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, and is a complex oxide having a layered structure in a limited composition range and a lithium-containing complex oxide having a specific particle form. Is used as an active material for the positive electrode to provide a non-aqueous secondary battery having high capacity, excellent durability against charge / discharge cycles, and excellent storage at high temperatures.

[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to embodiments of the invention. The lithium-containing composite oxide of the present invention has the general formula Li1 + x + αNi(1-x-y + δ ) / 2Mn(1-xy- δ ) / 2MyO2[However, 0 ≦ x ≦ 0.05, −0.05 ≦ x + α ≦ 0.05, 0 ≦ y ≦ 0.4, −0.1 ≦ δ ≦ 0.1, and M is Mg, 1 or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Al, Ge, and Sn], and a composite oxide in which primary particles are aggregated to form secondary particles. Yes, the average particle size of the primary particles is0.8˜3 μm, the average particle size of the secondary particles is 5-20 μm, and the BET specific surface area is0.6~ 2m2/ G.
[0013]
That is, the lithium-containing composite oxide of the present invention contains at least Ni and Mn as constituent elements, and has a very limited composition range centering on a composition in which the quantity ratio of Ni and Mn is 1: 1. It is a complex oxide.
[0014]
  In the present invention, only the limited composition range as described above is selected for the following reason. That is, in the layered lithium-containing composite oxide having Ni and Mn, the general formula LiNi in which the quantity ratio of Ni and Mn is 1: 1.1/2Mn1/2O2Ni and Mn are each replaced by x / 2 with Li, and the amount ratio of Ni and Mn is shifted from ½ by δ / 2 and −δ / 2, respectively. Has a width of α, and Ni and Mn are each Y / 2 elements M (where M is selected from Mg, Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Al, Ge, Sn) Composition substituted by more than species), ie, generalformulaLi1 + x + αNi(1-x-y + δ ) / 2Mn(1-xy- δ ) / 2MyO2[However, 0 ≦ x ≦ 0.05, −0.05 ≦ x + α ≦ 0.05, 0 ≦ y ≦ 0.4, and −0.1 ≦ δ ≦ 0.1.Because, M is a composition range represented by one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Al, Ge, and Sn], the crystal structure is stabilized. This is because a composite oxide excellent in reversibility of charge / discharge in a potential region near 4 V and durability against charge / discharge cycles is obtained.
[0015]
  This means that the average valence of Mn in the composite oxide takes a value close to tetravalent (approximately 3.3 to 4).ByThis is probably due to the fact that the movement of Mn in the crystal is suppressed during Li doping and dedoping during charging and discharging.
[0016]
Further, it was found that when y> 0 and at least Co is contained as the element M, the conductivity of the compound is improved and the load characteristics during large current discharge are improved.
[0017]
According to a more detailed composition study, the composition in which the quantity ratio of Ni, Mn and M is 1: 1: 1, that is, the general formula LiNi1/3Mn1/3M1/3O2It was also found that the stability of the compound was improved in the vicinity of the composition represented by
[0018]
The composite oxide of the present invention has a true density of 4.55 to 4.95 g / cm.3It becomes a large value and becomes a material having a high volume energy density. The true density of the composite oxide containing Mn in a certain range varies greatly depending on its composition. However, since the structure is stabilized in the narrow composition range and a single phase is easily formed, LiCoO2It is considered that the value is close to the true density of. In particular, the value becomes large when the composition is close to the stoichiometric ratio, and is approximately 4.7 g / cm at −0.015 ≦ x + α ≦ 0.015.ThreeThe above high density composite oxide is obtained.
[0019]
  General formula Li1 + x + αNi(1-x-y + δ ) / 2Mn(1-xy- δ ) / 2MyO2[However, 0 ≦ x ≦ 0.05, −0.05 ≦ x + α ≦ 0.05, 0 ≦ y ≦ 0.4, and −0.1 ≦ δ ≦ 0.1.Because, M is one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Al, Ge, and Sn], and the amount ratio of Ni and Mn is basically 1: The deviation from the median (δ / 2) is only allowed to be as small as −0.1 ≦ δ ≦ 0.1. However, in the composition range of 0.2 <y ≦ 0.4, the crystal structure becomes more stable and a single phase is easily formed. Obtainable. Therefore, in the above general formula, the possible range of δ is basically as narrow as −0.1 ≦ δ ≦ 0.1, but in the composition range of 0.2 <y ≦ 0.4, δ May be extended to a range of −0.24 ≦ δ ≦ 0.24.
[0020]
Here, the upper limit value of y was set to 0.4 because the composition of y> 0.4, that is, when the amount of substitution with the element M exceeds 0.4, a heterogeneous phase is formed in the target composite oxide. This is because problems such as deterioration of the stability of the compound are likely to occur.
[0021]
  Moreover, as a form of the composite oxide having the above composition, primary particles are aggregated to form secondary particles.The average particle diameter of the primary particles is 0.8-3 μm,A composite oxide having an average secondary particle size of 5 to 20 μm is selected. This is because primary particles are aggregated to form secondary particles, so that the reactivity in charge and discharge and the filling property of the composite oxide can be improved. The average particle diameter of the primary particles is increased.0.8By setting it to ~ 3 μm, it is possible to improve the load characteristics of the battery by increasing the charge / discharge reactivity. Thus, the capacity of the electrode can be increased.
[0022]
  Furthermore, the BET specific surface area of the composite oxide is0.6~ 2m2/ G is desirable. This is because the BET specific surface area0.6m2/ G or more is excellent in reactivity, 2 m2This is because when the electrode is formed, the density of the electrode mixture can be increased because the density of the particles is less than / g.
[0023]
  The lithium-containing composite oxide in the particle form described above is, for example, an aqueous solution in which Ni and Mn, or a salt of Ni, Mn, and element M is dissolved.TheIn alkaline aqueous solutionInTo synthesize Ni and Mn or Ni, Mn and element M co-precipitated hydroxide, calcined with lithium compounds, and mechanically pulverize and screen the synthesized composite oxide as necessary Can be obtained. Firing is preferably performed in an atmosphere containing 10% by volume or more of oxygen, such as in air or oxygen gas. The firing temperature is approximately 700 ° C. to 1100 ° C., and the firing time is generally 1 to 24 hours. is there. Further, prior to the firing treatment, preheating is performed at a temperature lower than the firing temperature (approximately 250 to 850 ° C.) for about 0.5 to 30 hours, and further the firing treatment is performed. This is preferable because homogenization is promoted. Here, the primary particle size of the composite oxide can be controlled by adjusting the preheating or firing temperature and the treatment time, and the secondary particle size is controlled by the degree of mechanical grinding and sieving. be able to.
[0024]
By using the lithium-containing composite oxide described above as the positive electrode active material, for example, a non-aqueous secondary battery is produced as follows.
[0025]
The positive electrode was obtained by adding the above mixed oxide, if necessary, a conductive additive such as flaky graphite and acetylene black and a binder such as polytetrafluoroethylene and polyvinylidene fluoride and mixing them. The positive electrode material mixture is used as a molded body, or applied to a substrate that also functions as a current collector and integrated with the substrate. Here, as the substrate, for example, a metal net such as aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, or copper, a punching metal, an expanded metal, a foam metal, or a metal foil can be used.
[0026]
  The lithium-containing composite oxide can be used alone as a positive electrode active material. In this case, the average particle diameter of the primary particles is0.8A composite oxide that is ˜3 μm is selected. The lithium-containing composite oxide (hereinafter referred to as lithium-containing composite oxide A) having an average particle size of secondary particles of 5 to 20 μm, and a lithium-containing composite oxide (hereinafter referred to as lithium-containing composite oxide) having an average particle size smaller than this. And the lithium-containing composite oxide B) are used in combination, whereby the fillability of the active material can be further improved and the capacity of the electrode can be increased. This is because when the lithium-containing composite oxide B having a small average particle diameter enters the voids between the particles of the lithium-containing composite oxide A, the density of the positive electrode mixture is reduced.3.0 g / cm Three ThanBecause it grows.
[0027]
When the lithium-containing composite oxide of the present invention is A and the lithium-containing composite oxide having a small average particle size used by mixing is B, the average particle size of the lithium-containing composite oxide B is the lithium-containing composite oxide A. The average particle diameter of the secondary particles is preferably 3/5 or less. When the average particle diameter of B is larger than the above value, that is, when the difference between the average particle diameters of A and B is small, the above-described effect is reduced, and the difference from the case where A is used alone is reduced. Further, the lower limit value of the average particle diameter of B is considered to be about 0.1 μm, and if it is smaller than this, the characteristics as an active material are lowered, and the effect of using the mixture becomes difficult to occur. The average particle size of B is the average particle size when B is a primary particle, and the average particle size of secondary particles when the primary particles are aggregated to form secondary particles. Means. For the same reason as A, B is also preferably a composite oxide in which primary particles are aggregated to form secondary particles.
[0028]
The lithium-containing composite oxide B may have the same composition as the lithium-containing composite oxide A or a different composition. When the composition is different from A, the general formula Li1 + a + bR1-aO2[However, 0 ≦ a ≦ 0.05, −0.05 ≦ a + b ≦ 0.05, and R is selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Al, Ge, and Sn. A composite oxide represented by one or more selected elements] can be preferably used. In particular, when R contains at least Co, LiCoO2Therefore, the conductivity of the electrode using the lithium-containing composite oxide A, which is inferior in conductivity, can be improved.
[0029]
The ratio of the lithium-containing composite oxide B is desirably 10 to 40% by weight in the positive electrode active material. If the amount is less than this, the difference from the case where the lithium-containing composite oxide A is used alone is reduced. If the amount is more than this, the proportion of the lithium-containing composite oxide A is small, and the effect is reduced. is there.
[0030]
The active material of the negative electrode facing the positive electrode is usually lithium or a lithium alloy such as Li—Al alloy, Li—Pb alloy, Li—In alloy, Li—Ga alloy, Si, Sn, Mg—Si alloy. Or an element that can be alloyed with lithium or an alloy of these elements. Furthermore, Sn oxide, Si oxide, Li4Ti5O12In addition to oxide materials such as, carbonaceous materials such as graphite and fibrous carbon, lithium-containing composite nitrides, and the like can be used. Moreover, what compounded said some material can also be made into an active material. The negative electrode is also produced by the same method as that for the positive electrode.
[0031]
The amount ratio of the active material in the positive electrode and the negative electrode varies depending on the type of the negative electrode active material, but in general, the positive electrode active material / negative electrode active material = 1.5 to 3.5 (mass ratio). Thus, the characteristics of the positive electrode active material can be utilized well.
[0032]
As the non-aqueous electrolyte in the non-aqueous secondary battery of the present invention, an organic solvent-based liquid electrolyte in which an electrolyte is dissolved in an organic solvent, that is, an electrolytic solution, a polymer electrolyte in which the electrolytic solution is held in a polymer, or the like is used. Can do. The organic solvent contained in the electrolytic solution or polymer electrolyte is not particularly limited, but it preferably contains a chain ester from the viewpoint of load characteristics. Examples of such chain esters include chain carbonates typified by dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate, and organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and methyl propionate. These chain esters may be used alone or in admixture of two or more. Particularly, for improving low-temperature characteristics, the above-mentioned chain esters occupy 50% by volume or more in the total organic solvent. In particular, it is preferable that the chain ester occupies 65% by volume or more of the total organic solvent.
[0033]
  However, as an organic solvent, in order to improve the discharge capacity rather than only comprising the above-mentioned chain ester, the chain ester is induced.ElectricHigh rate (invitationElectric(Rate: 30 or more) It is preferable to use a mixture of esters. Specific examples of such esters include cyclic carbonates typified by ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, vinylene carbonate, γ-butyrolactone, ethylene glycol sulfite, and the like. A cyclic ester such as carbonate is preferred.
[0034]
Such an ester having a high dielectric constant is preferably contained in an amount of 10% by volume or more, particularly 20% by volume or more in the total organic solvent from the viewpoint of discharge capacity. Moreover, from the point of load characteristics, 40 volume% or less is preferable and 30 volume% or less is more preferable.
[0035]
Examples of the solvent that can be used in combination with the ester having a high dielectric constant include 1,2-dimethoxyethane, 1,3-dioxolane, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran, and diethyl ether. In addition, amine imide organic solvents, sulfur-containing or fluorine-containing organic solvents, and the like can also be used.

After drying this, 0.2 mol of the coprecipitated hydroxide and 0.198 mol of LiOH.H2O was weighed and mixed, and the mixture was dispersed in ethanol to form a slurry, which was then mixed for 40 minutes using a planetary ball mill, and further dried at room temperature to prepare a uniformly mixed mixture. The mixture is then placed in an alumina crucible and 1 dm3Is heated to 700 ° C. in an air stream at a flow rate of 1 min / min, preheated by holding at that temperature for 2 hours, further heated to 900 ° C. and baked for 12 hours to react the mixture to form a composite Oxide was used.

  The composite oxide was synthesized by changing the firing temperature and firing time, and the composite oxide thus synthesized was pulverized and further sieved to obtain lithium-containing composite oxides shown in Table 1. In Example 5, Ni, Mn, and Co as a coprecipitated hydroxide were in a ratio of 5: 5: 2.(Y = 1/6)In Example 6, Ni, Mn, and Co were mixed at a ratio of 1: 1: 1.(Y = 1/3)The hydroxide contained in

[0046]
Using the lithium-containing composite oxides of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 as the positive electrode active material, non-aqueous secondary batteries were produced. 94 parts by weight of a lithium-containing composite oxide and 3 parts by weight of carbon black are dry-mixed, and a binder solution in which polyvinylidene fluoride is dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is mixed with 3 parts by weight of polyvinylidene fluoride. In addition, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone was further added and mixed well to prepare a paste. This paint was uniformly applied to both sides of an aluminum foil having a thickness of 20 μm, dried, and then pressure-formed by a roller press, and cut into a size of 280 mm × 38 mm to produce a strip-shaped positive electrode having a thickness of about 170 μm. . Moreover, the weight of the mixture layer of each produced positive electrode was measured, and the density of the mixture obtained from this value is also shown in Table 1.
[0047]
As is clear from Table 1, the lithium-containing composite oxides of Examples 1 to 6 have the general formula Li1 + x + αNi(1-x-y + δ) / 2Mn(1-xy-δ) / 2MyO2[However, 0 ≦ x ≦ 0.05, −0.05 ≦ x + α ≦ 0.05, 0 ≦ y ≦ 0.4, and −0.1 ≦ δ ≦ 0.1 (where 0 ≦ y ≦ 0. 2) or −0.24 ≦ δ ≦ 0.24 (when 0.2 <y ≦ 0.4), and M is Mg, Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Al , Ge, Sn], a composite oxide in which the primary particles aggregate to form secondary particles, wherein the primary particles and the secondary particles Comparative examples in which the average particle size of the particles is within the range of 0.3 to 3 μm and 5 to 20 μm, which are the claims of the present invention, so that the mixture density when the positive electrode is formed is conventionally used widely. 4 LiCoO2As a result, the density was almost the same, and the filling property could be improved. On the other hand, even if it has the above composition, the lithium-containing composite oxides of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 in which any of the average particle diameters of the primary particles and the secondary particles deviate from the claims of the present invention are the density of the mixture. Is low, LiMn of Comparative Example 52O4As a result, only a filling property similar to that in the first example was obtained.
[0048]
Next, a paste prepared by mixing 92 parts by weight of natural graphite, 3 parts by weight of low crystalline carbon, and 5 parts by weight of polyvinylidene fluoride was uniformly applied to both sides of a copper foil having a thickness of 10 μm, dried, and then a roller press machine. The strip-shaped negative electrode having a thickness of about 165 μm was manufactured by pressure molding and cutting into a size of 310 mm × 41 mm.
[0049]
A separator made of a microporous polyethylene film having a thickness of 20 μm is disposed between the belt-like positive electrode and the belt-like negative electrode, wound into a spiral shape to form an electrode body, and then has a bottom with an outer diameter of 14 mm and a height of 51.5 mm. It inserted in the cylindrical battery case, and the positive electrode lead body and the negative electrode lead body were welded. Thereafter, LiPF is mixed in a mixed solvent of ethylene carbonate and ethyl methyl carbonate in a volume ratio of 1: 2 in the battery case.6Of non-aqueous electrolyte obtained by dissolving 1.2 mol / l of 1.7 cm3Injected. The mass ratio of the positive electrode and negative electrode active material (positive electrode active material / negative electrode active material) was 1.9 in the electrode body using the lithium-containing composite oxide of Example 1.
[0050]
The opening of the battery case was sealed according to a conventional method to produce a cylindrical non-aqueous secondary battery, and the discharge capacity was measured. After charging to 4.2V at a constant current of 600 mA under an environment of 20 ° C., charging is performed by a constant voltage method so that the total charging time is 2.5 hours, and at a constant current of 120 mA. The discharge capacity when discharged to 3.0 V was measured. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0051]
[Table 2]
Figure 0004070585
[0052]
The batteries using the lithium-containing composite oxides of Examples 1 to 6 have a high density of the positive electrode mixture, and thus LiCoO2A large discharge capacity was exhibited in the same manner as the battery of Comparative Example 4 using On the other hand, since the batteries using the lithium-containing composite oxides of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 have low active material filling properties, LiMn2O4As in the battery of Comparative Example 5 using the above, only a low discharge capacity was obtained.
[0053]
Further, for the batteries using the lithium-containing composite oxides of Example 1, Example 6, Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5, at a temperature of 20 ° C., charging under the same conditions as above and a constant current of 600 mA. A charge / discharge cycle by discharging to 3.0 V was performed, and the cycle characteristics at room temperature were evaluated by the ratio of the discharge capacity after 100 cycles [capacity maintenance (%)]. Furthermore, in order to investigate the cycle characteristics at high temperature, the above-described cycle test was also performed at a temperature of 60 ° C., and the cycle characteristics at high temperature were evaluated by the ratio of the discharge capacity after 20 cycles [capacity maintenance (%)].
[0054]
Furthermore, the storage characteristics were evaluated as follows. After the charge / discharge cycle was performed 5 times under the same charge / discharge conditions as the measurement of the cycle characteristics, the battery was charged under the charge conditions and stored at a temperature of 60 ° C. for 20 days. After this storage, the battery was discharged under the above conditions, and the ratio of the capacity remaining after storage to the capacity before storage [capacity maintenance (%)] was measured. After the measurement, one charge / discharge cycle was performed, and the ratio of the capacity after storage to the capacity before storage [capacity recovery (%)] was measured. The storage characteristics at high temperature were evaluated based on the ratio of capacity maintenance and capacity recovery. These results are shown in Table 3.
[0055]
[Table 3]
Figure 0004070585
[0056]
As is apparent from Table 3, by using the lithium-containing composite oxides of Example 1 and Example 6 for the positive electrode, a battery having excellent cycle characteristics and storage characteristics could be constructed.2And LiMn2O4In the case of using, the cycle characteristics and storage characteristics were inferior to the lithium-containing composite oxide of the present invention. In order to investigate this cause, the following experiment was conducted. The positive electrode using the lithium-containing composite oxide of Example 1, Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5 was cut to a diameter of 15 mm in an argon atmosphere, immersed in 5 ml of an electrolyte, and held at 60 ° C. for 5 days. The electrolytic solution thus obtained was subjected to ICP spectroscopic analysis, and the concentrations of Mn and Co eluted in the electrolytic solution were quantified. Table 4 shows values obtained by converting the elution amount per 1 g of the composite oxide.
[0057]
[Table 4]
Figure 0004070585
[0058]
The lithium-containing composite oxide of Example 1 is LiMn of Comparative Example 5.2O4It was found that the dissolution of Mn in the electrolytic solution was sufficiently suppressed even when the elution amount of Mn was an order of magnitude smaller than that, and stored at a high temperature. The elution amount of Mn in Example 1 was the same as LiCoO in Comparative Example 4.2It can be seen that the material is less than the amount of Co elution and excellent in durability at high temperatures. LiMn2O4It is known that the dissolution of Mn occurs at a high temperature, and the capacity deterioration is significant when a charge / discharge cycle is performed at a high temperature or when stored at a high temperature, but the results in Table 4 support this. . On the other hand, LiCoO2Is a material that is unlikely to cause such a problem, but the lithium-containing composite oxide of the present invention is LiCoOO.2It is clear that the material is even better than that.
[0059]
(Example 7)
The lithium-containing composite oxide synthesized in Example 1 was pulverized and sieved until the average secondary particle size reached 5 μm, and lithium-containing composite oxide B was obtained. Next, the general formula LiNi0.5Mn0.5O2Primary particle average particle size: 1 μm, secondary particle average particle size: 10 μm, BET specific surface area: 0.9 m2/ G of the lithium-containing composite oxide A of Example 1 and the lithium-containing composite oxide B at a weight ratio of 60:40, and using this as a positive electrode active material, A secondary battery was produced.
[0060]
(Example 8)
A nonaqueous secondary battery was produced in the same manner as in Example 7 except that the average particle size of the secondary particles of the lithium-containing composite oxide B was 3 μm.
[0061]
Example 9
A nonaqueous secondary battery was produced in the same manner as in Example 8, except that the weight ratio of the lithium-containing composite oxide A and the lithium-containing composite oxide B was 80:20.
[0062]
(Example 10)
A nonaqueous secondary battery was produced in the same manner as in Example 8 except that the weight ratio of the lithium-containing composite oxide A and the lithium-containing composite oxide B was 95: 5.
[0063]
(Example 11)
A nonaqueous secondary battery was produced in the same manner as in Example 7 except that the average particle size of the secondary particles of the lithium-containing composite oxide B was 7 μm.
[0064]
Also in Examples 7 to 11, the density of the positive electrode mixture before battery assembly and the discharge capacity of the nonaqueous secondary battery were measured in the same manner as described above. The results are shown in Table 5 together with the results of Example 1. As is clear from this, the lithium-containing composite oxide A of the present invention was used by mixing with the lithium-containing composite oxide B having an average particle size of 3/5 or less of the average particle size of the secondary particles. In the nonaqueous secondary batteries of Examples 7 to 9, the density of the positive electrode mixture was increased, the active material filling property was improved, and the discharge capacity of the battery could be increased. On the other hand, Example 10 in which the average particle size of lithium-containing composite oxide B is sufficiently small but the mixing ratio is small, and Example in which the average particle size of lithium-containing composite oxide B is not so different from lithium-containing composite oxide A In the non-aqueous secondary battery of No. 11, the density of the positive electrode mixture and the discharge capacity were about the same as in Example 1 in which the lithium-containing composite oxide A was used alone, and the effect of mixing the active material was not clear.
