<多価金属イオン含有量>
本重合体に関し、本重合体における多価金属イオン含有量が100ppm以下とすることができる。多価金属イオンは、価数が2価以上の金属イオンである。多価金属イオンの存在により、本重合体中のカルボキシル基との間の相互作用等により金属架橋を形成する可能性があり、スラリー粘性の増大や、電極合剤層の不均一化や電極の硬化や脆化に影響して電極の耐屈曲性を低下させる場合がある。本重合体は、カルボキシル基を有するため、かかる多価金属イオンの存在によって、その量が微量であっても金属架橋の形成が促進されてしまうと考えられる。
本重合体を、例えば、減圧下(50mmHg以下)、80℃で3時間加熱乾燥し、揮発分を除去する。乾燥後の本重合体1gを石英ビーカーに採取し、加熱酸分解による前処理を行った後、超純水で全量を20gに希釈して測定試料を調製する。得られた試料につき、ICP発光分析により、本重合体に対して1ppm以上検出された多価金属イオンの総量に基づき、多価金属イオンの総量を測定し、本重合体1g当たりの前記多価金属イオンの総量を算出する。
この場合、この溶液又は分散体について、加熱乾燥するなどして媒体を除去する。得られた固体状態の重合体について、上記[1]で説明したようにICP発光分光分析を行い、本重合体に対して1ppm以上検出された多価金属イオンの総量に基づき、多価金属イオンの総量を測定し、本重合体1g当たりの多価金属イオン含有量を算出する。
本重合体に関し、本重合体1gあたりの10μm以上100μm以下のサイズの金属系粒子の含有量が10×103個以下とすることができる。かかる金属系粒子の存在は、それ自体、塗工性を低下させるほか、合剤層(電極層)においてブツなどの表面平滑性の低下や充填性の低下を招くことになる。さらに、電池の短絡や発火などのトラブルの原因となり得る。また、かかる金属系粒子の存在は、多価金属イオンの含有量にも関連してスラリー状態における粘度上昇や合剤層(電極)の耐屈曲性の低下を生じることがある。本重合体は、カルボキシル基を有するため、かかる金属系粒子の存在によっても金属架橋の形成を一層促進されてしまうと考えられる。
本重合体を、例えば、減圧下(50mmHg以下)、80℃で3時間加熱乾燥し、揮発分を除去する。乾燥後の本重合体1gをポリエチレン製容器に採取し、適当な分散媒を加えて十分な流動性を有する分散液を調製する。前記分散媒としては、例えば、メタノール又はエタノール等のアルコールを使用することができる。また、前記分散液の濃度としては、例えば約1質量%程度としてもよい。その後、この分散液につき、バー型ネオジム磁石(表面磁束密度2500ガウス以上)を導入して、ミックスローター(回転数80rpm)で30分間以上振とうする。その後、分散媒から磁石を取り出し、風乾する。磁石に吸着した磁性異物をテープに転写し、当該転写表面を透明テープで覆い、光学顕微鏡(総合倍率100倍~200倍)で撮影し、画像解析ソフト(例えば、オリンパスのOLYMPUS Stream)又はその同等物を用いて、10μm以上100μm以下のサイズの粒子数を計測する。なお、「サイズ」とは、「画像で確認できる粒子について、当該粒子の両側から接する二本の平行線の間の最長距離」を意味している。
この場合、この溶液又は分散液について、加熱乾燥するなどして媒体を除去する。その後、上記[1]と同様にして、十分な流動性を有する分散液を調製し、金属系粒子数の計測を行い、本重合体1g当たりの金属系粒子数を取得する。
<エチレン性不飽和カルボン酸単量体に由来する構造単位>
本重合体は、エチレン性不飽和カルボン酸単量体に由来する構造単位(以下、「(a)成分」ともいう)を有することができる。本重合体が、係る構造単位を有することによりカルボキシル基を有する場合、集電体への接着性が向上するとともに、リチウムイオンの脱溶媒和効果及びイオン伝導性に優れるため、抵抗が小さく、ハイレート特性に優れた電極が得られる。また、水膨潤性が付与されるため、本組成物中における活物質等の分散安定性を高めることができる。上記(a)成分は、例えば、エチレン性不飽和カルボン酸単量体を含む単量体を重合することにより本重合体に導入することができる。その他にも、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル単量体を(共)重合した後、加水分解することによっても得られる。また、(メタ)アクリルアミド及び(メタ)アクリロニトリル等を重合した後、強アルカリで処理してもよいし、水酸基を有する本重合体に酸無水物を反応させる方法であってもよい。
本重合体における(a)成分の含有量は、特に限定するものではないが、例えば、本重合体の全構造単位に対して10質量%以上、100質量%以下含むことができる。かかる範囲で(a)成分を含有することで、集電体に対する優れた接着性を容易に確保することができる。下限は、例えば20質量%以上であり、また例えば30質量%以上であり、また例えば40質量%以上である。下限は、50質量%以上であってもよく、例えば、60質量%以上であり、また例えば70質量%以上であり、また例えば80質量%以上である。30質量%以上であると、集電体への接着性を確保でき、良好なリチウムイオンの脱溶媒和効果及びイオン伝導性を備えるため、ハイレート特性に優れた電極が得られる。また、水膨潤性により本組成物中における活物質等の分散安定性を高めることができる。(a)成分の含有量の増大により、こうした効果が向上する傾向がある。
本重合体は、(a)成分以外に、これらと共重合可能な他のエチレン性不飽和単量体に由来する構造単位(以下、「(b)成分」ともいう。)を含むことができる。(b)成分としては、例えば、スルホン酸基及びリン酸基等のカルボキシル基以外のアニオン性基を有するエチレン性不飽和単量体化合物、または非イオン性のエチレン性不飽和単量体等に由来する構造単位が挙げられる。これらの構造単位は、スルホン酸基及びリン酸基等のカルボキシル基以外のアニオン性基を有するエチレン性不飽和単量体化合物、または非イオン性のエチレン性不飽和単量体を含む単量体を共重合することにより導入することができる。これらの内でも、(b)成分としては、耐屈曲性良好な電極が得られる観点から非イオン性のエチレン性不飽和単量体に由来する構造単位が好ましく、バインダーの結着性が優れる点で(メタ)アクリルアミド及びその誘導体等が好ましい。また、(b)成分として水中への溶解性が1g/100ml以下の疎水性のエチレン性不飽和単量体に由来する構造単位を導入した場合、電極材料と強い相互作用を奏することができ、活物質に対して良好な結着性を発揮することができる。これにより、堅固で一体性の良好な電極合剤層を得ることができるため好ましい。特に脂環構造含有エチレン性不飽和単量体に由来する構造単位が好ましい。
本重合体における架橋方法は特に制限されるものではなく、例えば以下の方法による態様が例示される。
1)架橋性単量体の共重合
2)ラジカル重合時のポリマー鎖への連鎖移動を利用
3)反応性官能基を有する重合体を合成後、必要に応じて架橋剤を添加して後架橋
上記の内でも、操作が簡便であり、架橋の程度を制御し易い点から架橋性単量体の共重合による方法が好ましい。
架橋性単量体としては、2個以上の重合性不飽和基を有する多官能重合性単量体、及び加水分解性シリル基等の自己架橋可能な架橋性官能基を有する単量体等が挙げられる。
本バインダーのバインダー成分である本重合体は、以下の準備工程(重合工程)により製造することができる。以下に説明する本重合体の製造方法は、本バインダーの製造方法としても実施できる。
準備工程は、本重合体を準備する工程である。典型的には、本重合体を重合する工程である。本重合体は、溶液重合、沈殿重合、懸濁重合、乳化重合等の公知の重合方法を使用することが可能であるが、生産性の点で沈殿重合及び懸濁重合(逆相懸濁重合)が好ましい。結着性等に関してより良好な性能が得られる点で、沈殿重合、懸濁重合、乳化重合等の不均一系の重合法が好ましく、中でも沈殿重合法がより好ましい。沈殿重合は、原料である不飽和単量体を溶解するが、生成する重合体を実質溶解しない溶媒中で重合反応を行うことにより重合体を製造する方法である。重合の進行とともにポリマー粒子は凝集及び成長により大きくなり、数十nm~数百nmの一次粒子が数μm~数十μmに二次凝集したポリマー粒子の分散液が得られる。ポリマーの粒子サイズを制御するために分散安定剤を使用することもできる。尚、分散安定剤や重合溶剤等を選定することにより上記二次凝集を抑制することもできる。一般に、二次凝集を抑制した沈殿重合は、分散重合とも呼ばれる。
本製造方法では、エチレン性不飽和カルボン酸単量体として未中和又は部分中和塩を用いた場合、重合工程により得られた重合体分散液にアルカリ化合物を添加して重合体を中和(以下、「工程中和」ともいう)する工程を実施した後、後述する乾燥工程で溶媒を除去して固体状態の本重合体を得てもよい。また、未中和若しくは部分中和塩状態のまま乾燥工程を実施して粉末等の固体状態の本重合体を得た後、電極合剤層スラリーを調製する際に塩を形成するためのアルカリ化合物を添加して、重合体を中和(以下、「後中和」ともいう)する工程を実施してもよい。上記の内、工程中和の方が、二次凝集体が解れやすい傾向にあり好ましい。
なお、重合工程後又は工程中和の中和工程後、乾燥工程に先だって、未反応単量体(及びその塩)、開始剤由来の不純物や多価金属イオン等を除去する目的で、重合工程に引き続き、遠心分離及び濾過等の固液分離工程、水、メタノール又は重合溶媒と同一の溶媒等を用いた洗浄工程を備えていてもよい。固液分離工程を実施する場合、液体中の多価金属イオンが除去されうる。また、洗浄工程を備えた場合も、多価金属イオン等が除去されうる。
重合工程を経て得られた本重合体分散液は、減圧及び/又は加熱処理等を行い溶媒留去する乾燥工程を実施することにより、目的とする本重合体を粉末状態等の固体状態で得ることができる。
粉砕工程は、乾燥後の本重合体を粉砕する工程である。粉砕工程は、その後の篩分工程で本重合体についての篩分工程及び/又は金属系粒子の除去工程を良好に実施できるように、必要に応じて実施する。粉砕工程は、公知の粉砕装置を用いて実施すればよい。
篩分工程は、本重合体の凝集物やあるいは工程で混入した異物を除去するために、一定以上の粒子サイズの粒子を篩操作により分離する工程である。篩分工程は、必須工程ではないが、後述するように、100μm超サイズの金属系粒子を除去する観点及びスラリーの塗工性や合剤層の均一性を向上させる点及び後段の除去工程で効率よく金属系粒子を除去できる点において実施することが好適である。
金属系粒子の除去工程は、固体状態の本重合体から金属系粒子を除去する工程である。除去工程において金属系粒子を除去する手法は、特に限定するものではないが、例えば、磁力によって金属系粒子を除去する手法を用いる磁選工程として実施することができる。
本組成物は、本重合体を含有するバインダー、活物質及び水を含む。本組成物における本重合体の使用量は、活物質の全量に対して、例えば、0.1質量%以上20質量%以下である。上記使用量は、また例えば、0.2質量%以上10質量%以下であり、また例えば0.3質量%以上8質量%以下であり、また例えば0.4質量%以上5質量%以下である。本重合体及びその塩の使用量が0.1質量%未満の場合、十分な結着性が得られないことがある。また、活物質等の分散安定性が不十分となり、形成される合剤層の均一性が低下する場合がある。一方、本重合体及びその塩の使用量が20質量%を超える場合、電極合剤層組成物が高粘度となり集電体への塗工性が低下することがある。その結果、得られた合剤層にブツや凹凸が生じて電極特性に悪影響を及ぼす虞がある。
本電極は、銅又はアルミニウム等の集電体表面に本組成物から形成される合剤層を備えてなるものである。合剤層は、集電体の表面に本組成物を塗工した後、水等の媒体を乾燥除去することにより形成される。本組成物を塗工する方法は特に限定されず、ドクターブレード法、ディップ法、ロールコート法、コンマコート法、カーテンコート法、グラビアコート法及びエクストルージョン法などの公知の方法を採用することができる。また、上記乾燥は、温風吹付け、減圧、(遠)赤外線、マイクロ波照射等の公知の方法により行うことができる。通常、乾燥後に得られた合剤層には、金型プレス及びロールプレス等による圧縮処理が施される。圧縮することにより活物質及びバインダーを密着させ、合剤層の強度及び集電体への密着性を向上させることができる。圧縮により合剤層の厚みを、例えば、圧縮前の30~80%程度に調整することができ、圧縮後の合剤層の厚みは4~200μm程度が一般的である。
