セパレータの水分率が400ppm以下であり、
硫化水素の含有量が0.2×10-3mg/m2以下であることを特徴とする電池用セパレータであることにより、本課題を解決することを見出した。
(1)前記硫酸バリウム粒子が沈降性硫酸バリウムであること、
(2)前記沈降性硫酸バリウムが塩化バリウムを原料として芒硝法により製造されていること、
(3)前記硫酸バリウム粒子のBET比表面積が、2.0m2/g以上、3.0m2/g未満であること、
(4)前記有機合成成分が、
(メタ)アクリル酸共重合樹脂、ポリアクリルアミド樹脂、ポリフッ化ビニリデン樹脂、ポリビニルアルコール樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂、ポリアミドイミド樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリ(メタ)アラミド樹脂の群より選ばれる1つ以上を含有すること、
(5)前記ポリオレフィン多孔質膜の透気抵抗が、30秒/100cm3Air以上、200秒/100cm3以下であること、
である。
本発明の実施形態におけるポリオレフィン多孔質膜の厚さは、電池用セパレータの機能を有する限りにおいて特に制限されるものではないが、25μm以下が好ましい。より好ましくは7μm以上、20μm以下であり、さらに好ましくは9μm以上、16μm以下である。ポリオレフィン多孔質膜の厚さが25μm以下であると、実用的な膜強度と孔閉塞機能を両立させることが出来、電池ケースの単位容積当たりの面積が制約されず、電池の高容量化に適する。
ポリオレフィン多孔質膜の平均孔径が0.01μm以上、1.0μm以下であると、バインダーのアンカー効果により、ポリオレフィン多孔質膜に対する、十分な耐熱性多孔層の密着強度が得られ、耐熱性多孔層を積層した際に透気抵抗度及び電気抵抗度が大幅に悪化せず、かつ、孔閉塞現象の温度に対する応答が緩慢になることもなく、昇温速度の変化による孔閉塞温度がより高温側にシフトが現れることも少ない。本発明で言う平均孔径とはJIS K 3832:1990で規定されるバブルポイント法にて得た測定値である。
なかでもポリエチレンが優れた孔閉塞性能の観点から特に好ましい。以下、本発明で用いるポリオレフィン樹脂としてポリエチレンを例に詳述するが、本発明の実施形態はこれに限定されるものではない。
ポリオレフィン多孔質膜は、充放電反応の異常時に孔が閉塞する機能を有する。従って、構成する樹脂の融点(軟化点)は70℃以上、150℃以下が好ましい。より好ましくは80℃以上、140℃以下、さらに好ましくは100℃以上、130℃以下である。構成する樹脂の融点が70℃以上、150℃以下であると、正常使用時に孔閉塞機能が発現してしまって電池が使用不可になることがなく、また、異常反応時に孔閉塞機能が発現することで安全性を確保できる。
本発明の実施形態に係る電池用セパレータは、上記ポリオレフィン多孔質膜の少なくとも片面に耐熱性多孔層が設けられており、硫酸バリウム粒子と有機合成樹脂成分とを含む。
硫酸バリウム粒子は、粒子径0.5μm以下の粒子が20体積%以下、粒子径3.0μm以上の粒子が10体積%以下である。好ましくは粒子径0.5μm以下の粒子が15体積%以下、粒子径3.0μm以上の粒子が8体積%以下、更に好ましくは粒子径0.5μm以下の粒子が10体積%以下、粒子径3.0μm以上の粒子が6体積%以下である。粒子径0.5μm以下の粒子が20体積%より大きいと耐熱性多孔層の無機粒子同士の隙間が埋め尽くされ、電池内部のリチウムイオンの移動経路が狭くなったり長くなることによって膜抵抗が大きくなり、また、ポリオレフィン多孔質膜の孔中に粒子が目詰まりすることによって、電池の性能を著しく低下させる場合がある。
粒子径3.0μm以上の粒子が10体積%を超えると、耐熱性多孔層中の個々の無機粒子同士の接点が少なくなることで、耐熱性多孔質層の構造がもろくなり、高温時にポリオレフィン多孔質膜の収縮を抑制することが困難となったり、粗大粒子が多くなり、耐熱性多孔層の表面形状にむらができ、後述する耐熱性多孔層の製造方法においてスジ等が発生する場合がある。粒子径0.5μm以下の粒子が20体積%以下、粒子径3.0μm以上の粒子が10体積%以下であると、耐熱性多孔層の無機粒子同士の隙間が埋め尽くされることなく、ポリオレフィン多孔質膜の孔中に粒子が目詰まりすることも少ないため、膜抵抗を小さくすることができる。
本発明の硫酸バリウム粒子は、合成法により作製されたものである。具体的には、炭酸バリウム、又は硫化バリウムに硫酸を加えることによって硫酸バリウムを得る方法(硫酸法)、塩化バリウムに硫酸ナトリウムを加えることによって硫酸バリウムを得る方法(芒硝法)で得られる硫酸バリウム粒子である。
本発明の実施形態における有機合成樹脂成分は耐熱性多孔層を構成する硫酸バリウム粒子同士が結着する効果、及び耐熱性多孔層をポリオレフィン多孔質膜と密着させる効果を兼ね備えている。
具体的には、(メタ)アクリル酸共重合樹脂、ポリアクリルアミド樹脂、ポリフッ化ビニリデン樹脂、ポリビニルアルコール樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂、ポリアミドイミド樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリ(メタ)アラミド樹脂の群より選ばれる1つ以上を使用することができ、市販されている水溶液又は水分散体を使用することができる。アクリル系樹脂としては、具体的には、昭和電工(株)製“ポリゾール”シリーズ、日本ゼオン(株)製“BM”シリーズ、東亜合成(株)製“ジュリマー”(登録商標)AT-210、ET-410、“アロン”(登録商標)A-104、AS-2000、NW-7060、トーヨーケム(株)製“LIOACCUM”(登録商標)シリーズ、JSR(株)製 TRD202A、TRD102A、荒川化学(株)製“ポリストロン”(登録商標)117、705、1280、昭和電工(株)製“コーガム”(登録商標)シリーズ、大成ファインケミカル(株)製 WEM-200U、及びWEM-3000等が挙げられる。ポリビニルアルコールとしては、具体的には、クラレ(株)製“クラレポバール”(登録商標)3-98、3-88、三菱ケミカル(株)製“ゴーセノール”(登録商標)N-300、GH-20等が挙げられる。中でも汎用性が高く、硫酸バリウム粒子同士の結着がしやすいアクリル系樹脂が好ましい。
本発明の実施形態における耐熱性多孔層中に含まれる硫酸バリウム粒子の含有量は、硫酸バリウム粒子と有機合成樹脂成分の合計を100体積%として70体積%以上、98体積%以下である。より好ましくは77体積%以上、93体積%以下であり、さらに好ましくは85体積%以上、90体積%以下である。
本発明の実施形態における耐熱性多孔層の平均厚さは、2.0μm以上、10μm以下であることが好ましい。より好ましくは2.5μm以上、6μm以下であり、さらに好ましくは3.0μm以上、4.0μm以下である。耐熱性多孔層の厚さが2.0μmより小さいと、熱によるポリオレフィン多孔質膜の収縮を抑制することができなくなる場合がある。耐熱性多孔層の平均厚さが10μmより大きいと、イオンの移動経路が長くなるため、透気抵抗度が大きくなったり、電池セルの正極と負極の極間距離が大きくなることで電池セル容量に占める電池用セパレータの割合が多くなり、電気抵抗度が大きくなる場合がある。耐熱性多孔質層の平均厚さが2.0μm以上、10μm以下であると、透気抵抗度が大きくなったり、電気抵抗度が大きくなることがほとんどない。
硫酸バリウム粒子は粒子表面に水酸基を有しないため、表面に吸着する水分子の影響が少なく、水と電解液との反応により発生するフッ酸等のガス発生や、電解液の消費による電池特性の低下を抑制することができる。硫酸バリウム粒子の比表面積は1.0m2/g以上、18.0m2/g以下が好ましい。より好ましくは2.0m2/g以上、12.0m2/g以下、さらに好ましくは2.0m2/g以上、3.0m2/g以下である。
本発明の実施形態に係る電池用セパレータに含有する硫化水素は、0.2×10-3mg/m2以下である。好ましくは、0.15×10-3mg/m2以下であり、より好ましくは、0.1×10-3mg/m2以下である。0.2×10-3mg/m2より大きいと、電池セル内部でガスが発生したり、電極の集電体と硫化水素が酸化反応することにより集電体が劣化し、電池の寿命が低下する場合がある。0.2×10-3mg/m2以下であると、電池セル内部でのガスの発生を抑制することができ、電極の集電体の劣化を抑制することができる。ここでいう硫化水素の含有量は、電池用セパレータ5m2を容量1Lの密閉容器に封入し、60℃雰囲気下で24時間放置した後、容器内のガスをJIS K 0804:2014で規定されるガス検知管法にて得た測定値をX[体積ppm]とし、以下の計算によりセパレータの単位面積あたりに含有する硫化水素量[mg/m2]を算出した。
本発明を得るための耐熱性多孔層は以下の工程で得ることができる。
(a)耐熱性多孔層用塗工分散液の作製。
(b)ポリオレフィン多孔質膜の少なくとも片面、又は両面に前記スラリーをコーティングする工程。
(c)前記コーティング後、溶媒をドライヤーで乾燥させ、耐熱性多孔層を形成する工程。

ポリオレフィン多孔質膜及び電池用セパレータを接触式膜厚計((株)ミツトヨ製“ライトマチック”(登録商標)series318)を使用して5点の測定値を平均することによって厚さを求めた。超硬球面測定子φ9.5mmを用い、加重0.01Nの条件で測定した。さらに、耐熱性多孔層の厚さ(μm)は、電池用セパレータを前記スラリーに含まれる溶媒と同じ液で洗浄し、耐熱性多孔層を除去したポリオレフィン多孔質膜を前記接触式膜厚計にて測定し、下記計算式にて得た。
