Description

Packaging material for battery, battery, and method of manufacturing packaging material for battery

The present invention relates to a battery packaging material, a battery, and a method of manufacturing the battery packaging material.

Conventionally, various types of batteries have been developed, but in all batteries, a packaging material has become an indispensable member for sealing battery elements such as electrodes and electrolytes. Conventionally, metal packaging materials have been widely used as packaging for batteries, but in recent years, various shapes are required for batteries as the performance of electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, personal computers, cameras, mobile phones, etc. is improved. Needs to be thinner and lighter. However, in the case of metal battery packaging materials that have been widely used in the past, it is difficult to follow the diversification of the shape, and there is also a drawback that there is a limit to weight reduction.

Therefore, a film shape in which a base material layer / adhesive layer / barrier layer / thermal adhesive resin layer are sequentially laminated as a packaging material for a battery which can be easily processed into various shapes and can realize thinning and weight reduction The packaging material for batteries of is proposed (for example, refer to patent documents 1). In such a film-like battery packaging material, the battery element can be sealed by heat-sealable resin layers facing each other and heat-sealing the peripheral portion by heat sealing.

When manufacturing a battery using the above packaging materials for batteries, electrolyte solution may adhere to the base material layer located in the outermost layer surface of the packaging materials for batteries. When the electrolytic solution adheres to the base material layer, the base material layer may be discolored, so a protective layer having electrolytic solution resistance and the like may be provided on the base material layer.

Also, conventionally, when forming a print such as a bar code on a packaging material for a battery, generally, a method in which a seal on which a print is formed is attached to the surface on the base layer side is employed.

However, when the seal on which the print is formed is attached to the surface on the base layer side, the thickness and weight of the battery packaging material increase. Therefore, from the recent trend of thinning and weight reduction of the packaging material for batteries, a method of printing directly on the surface of the packaging material for batteries by printing with ink has been studied.

As a method of printing by direct printing of ink on the surface of the base material layer side of the battery packaging material, for example, pad printing (also referred to as tampo printing) is known. Pad printing is the following printing method. First, the ink is poured into the concave portion of the flat plate in which the pattern to be printed is etched. Next, the silicon pad is pressed from above the recess to transfer the ink to the silicon pad. Next, the ink transferred to the surface of the silicon pad is transferred to a print target to form a print on the print target. Such pad printing is easy to print on the surface of the battery packaging material after molding because the ink is transferred to the printing object using an elastic silicon pad or the like, and the battery element is a battery packaging material. After sealing, it has the advantage of being able to print on the battery.

As described above, when the electrolytic solution adheres to the base material layer, the base material layer may be discolored, and thus a protective layer having electrolytic solution resistance and the like may be provided on the base material layer. As such a protective layer, for example, a protective layer cured using a curing agent such as a curing agent having an isocyanate group is known (for example, International Publication WO 2013/069698). However, when the present inventors examined, when providing the protective layer hardened using the curing agent which has an isocyanate group, the reaction of an isocyanate group is inadequate (a large amount of unreacted isocyanate remains) If this is the case, the electrolyte resistance does not develop, while the reaction of the isocyanate group proceeds too much (no unreacted isocyanate remains), although the electrolyte resistance is improved, the surface of such a protective layer When it was tried to print the ink on the surface of the protective layer, it was found that the ink was repelled to make it difficult for the ink to be fixed, resulting in the occurrence of a missing portion where the ink is not formed. In particular, it has become clear that the printability tends to be inadequate when printed by pad printing.

In addition, it is formed on the surface of the base material layer side of the battery packaging material by further providing a colored layer between the base material layer and the barrier layer for the purpose of imparting identification to the battery packaging material, etc. There is an advantage that the variation of the identifiability and design given to the battery packaging material is expanded by the combination with the printing.

Specifically, for example, it can be manufactured as follows.

First, a laminate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “laminate A”) in which at least a base material layer 1, a colored layer 7, and a barrier layer 3 are sequentially laminated is formed. The laminate A is formed, for example, by a gravure coating method, a roll coating method using an adhesive used for forming the adhesive layer 2 on the base layer 1 or on the barrier layer 3 whose surface has been chemically treated as required. It can carry out by the dry laminating method which makes the said barrier layer 3 or the base material layer 1 laminated | stacked, and hardens the adhesive layer 2 after apply | coating and drying by application methods, such as a method. When a coloring agent is blended in the adhesive forming the adhesive layer 2, the adhesive layer 2 can be used as the colored layer 7.
