- (II) Comparative example 1 The method was the same as that for the all-solid-state battery in Example 1 above, except that the positive electrode layer was formed using the positive electrode mixture prepared by the method described in "(II) Method for producing positive electrode mixture in comparative example” above. Thus, an all-solid-state battery in Comparative Example 1 was manufactured. At this time, the ratio of the content of solid electrolyte 2 to the total content of positive electrode active material 3 and solid electrolyte 2 in the positive electrode layer was 15 vol%. Further, the amount of conductive fiber 9 added in step S51 was 1.0 vol% with respect to the total amount of positive electrode active material 3 and solid electrolyte 2 in the positive electrode layer.
- Table 1 in FIG. 9 shows the results of evaluating charging and discharging efficiency as a battery characteristic that is an index of battery capacity.
- the charge/discharge efficiency was evaluated under two conditions: low rate discharge and high rate discharge. Furthermore, in the evaluation of charging and discharging efficiency, charging was performed at a final voltage of 3.7 V, a current rate of 0.05 C, and a temperature of 25° C. Further, the discharge was carried out at a final voltage of 1.9 V, a current rate of 0.05 C in the case of low rate discharge, a current rate of 1 C in the case of high rate discharge, and 25°C. In addition, in the evaluation of charge/discharge efficiency, charging was started, and the ratio (%) of discharge capacity to charge capacity was calculated as charge/discharge efficiency.
- the compressed body 11 is formed in the positive electrode layer to suppress the reduction in the ion conduction path due to the conductive fiber aggregates 10, thereby ensuring the ion conduction path and effectively utilizing the positive electrode active material 3. I think this is due to the effect that was created.
- Ions conducted in the all-solid-state battery 100 may be ions other than lithium ions, such as sodium ions, magnesium ions, potassium ions, calcium ions, or copper ions.
- the all-solid-state battery according to the present disclosure is expected to be applied to various batteries, such as power sources for portable electronic devices and on-vehicle batteries.

Abstract
Description
本発明者らは、「背景技術」の欄において記載した従来の全固体電池に関し、以下の問題が生じることを見出した。
以下に本開示に係る全固体電池および全固体電池の製造方法の例について示す。
<構成>
[A.全固体電池]
まず、本実施の形態における全固体電池の概要について、図1を用いて説明する。図1は、本実施の形態における全固体電池100の断面を示す模式図である。本実施の形態における全固体電池100は、正極集電体7と、正極集電体7に対向する負極集電体8と、正極集電体7の負極集電体8に近い面上に形成され、正極活物質3と固体電解質1と固体電解質2と導電繊維9とを含む正極層20と、負極集電体8の正極集電体7に近い面上に形成され、負極活物質4と固体電解質5とを含む負極層30と、正極層20と負極層30との間に配置され、固体電解質6を含む固体電解質層40と、を備える。つまり、全固体電池100は、正極集電体7と、正極層20と、固体電解質層40と、負極層30と、負極集電体8とが、この順で積層された構造を有する。
まず、固体電解質層40について説明する。本実施の形態における固体電解質層40は、固体電解質6を含み、さらに、バインダーを含んでいてもよい。
本実施の形態における固体電解質6について説明する。固体電解質6に用いられる固体電解質材料としては、一般的な公知材料である硫化物系固体電解質、ハロゲン化物系固体電解質および酸化物系固体電解質などの無機固体電解質が挙げられる。固体電解質材料は、例えば、リチウムイオン伝導性を有する。固体電解質材料としては、硫化物系固体電解質、ハロゲン化物系固体電解質および酸化物系固体電解質のいずれが用いられてもよい。本実施の形態における硫化物系固体電解質の種類は、特に限定されない。硫化物系固体電解質としては、Li2S-SiS2、LiI-Li2S-SiS2、LiI-Li2S-P2S5、LiI-Li2S-P2O5、LiI-Li3PO4-P2S5、Li2S-P2S5などが挙げられる。特に、リチウムイオン伝導性が優れている観点から、硫化物系固体電解質は、Li、PおよびSを含んでいてもよい。また、バインダーとの反応性が高く、バインダーとの結合性が高いため、硫化物系固体電解質は、P2S5を含んでいてもよい。なお、上記「Li2S-P2S5」の記載は、Li2SおよびP2S5を含む原料組成を用いてなる硫化物系固体電解質を意味し、他の記載についても同様である。
本実施の形態におけるバインダーについて説明する。バインダーは、リチウムイオン伝導性および電子伝導性を有さず、固体電解質層40内の材料同士および固体電解質層40と他の層とを接着させる役割を担う接着材である。本実施の形態におけるバインダーは、密着強度を向上させる官能基が導入された熱可塑性エラストマーを含んでもよく、官能基がカルボニル基であってもよく、密着強度を向上させる観点から、カルボニル基が無水マレイン酸であってもよい。無水マレイン酸の酸素原子が、固体電解質6と反応して、固体電解質6の粒子同士を、バインダーを介して結合させ、固体電解質6の粒子と固体電解質6の粒子との間にバインダーが配置された構造をつくり、その結果、密着強度が向上する。
次に、本実施の形態における正極層20について説明する。本実施の形態における正極層20は、固体電解質1と固体電解質2と正極活物質3と導電繊維9とを含む。正極層20は、さらに、必要に応じて、電子伝導度を確保するためアセチレンブラックおよびケッチェンブラック(登録商標)などの更なる非繊維状導電助剤ならびにバインダーを添加してもよいが、添加量が多い場合には電池性能へ影響するため、電池性能に影響がない程度に少量であることが望ましい。
固体電解質1および固体電解質2に用いられる固体電解質材料はそれぞれ、例えば、上述した[B-1.固体電解質]にて挙げた固体電解質材料から少なくとも1つ以上任意に選択される。固体電解質1と固体電解質2とは、例えば、同じ固体電解質材料である。固体電解質1と固体電解質2とは、異なる固体電解質材料であってもよい。また材料の選択について特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、正極活物質3と固体電解質1とが接触する界面、固体電解質1と固体電解質2および固体電解質6それぞれとが接触する界面においてリチウムイオン伝導性を大きく損なわない範囲で材料の組み合わせが選択される。
上述したバインダーと同じであるため、省略する。
本実施の形態における正極活物質3について説明する。本実施の形態における正極活物質3の材料としては、例えば、リチウム含有遷移金属酸化物が用いられる。リチウム含有遷移金属酸化物としては、例えば、LiCoO2、LiNiO2、LiMn2O4、LiCoPO4、LiNiPO4、LiFePO4、LiMnPO4、これらの化合物の遷移金属を1または2の異種元素で置換することによって得られる化合物などが挙げられる。上記化合物の遷移金属を1または2の異種元素で置換することによって得られる化合物としては、LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2、LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2、LiNi0.5Mn1.5O2など、公知の材料が用いられる。正極活物質3の材料は、1種で使用されてもよく、または2種以上を組み合わせて使用されてもよい。
導電繊維9は、正極層20の導電助剤として機能し、正極層20内の電子伝導性を高めることができる。導電繊維9は、複数の繊維で構成される。本実施の形態における導電繊維9は、導電性を有しており、正極活物質3、固体電解質1および固体電解質2と反応しにくく、電池としての電位に耐えうる材料であれば特に限定はされない。電池使用中の材料の安定性の観点から、導電繊維9は、例えば、カーボン系の材料である。具体的には、カーボン系の材料は、繊維状の導電性炭素材料である。カーボン系の材料としては、例えば、カーボンナノチューブ(CNT)が挙げられる。また、カーボンナノチューブとしては、単層カーボンナノチューブ(SWCNT)または多層カーボンナノチューブ(MWCNT)が用いられる。これらの中でも、コストおよび入手容易性の観点から、カーボン系の材料として多層カーボンナノチューブを用いてもよい。一方、多層カーボンナノチューブは、繊維が固く、繊維径が大きいものから小さいものまで混在しているため、強く絡み合った凝集物として存在しやすい。詳細は後述するが、本実施の形態によれば、凝集物として存在しやすい導電繊維9を用いた場合でも、導電繊維凝集物の影響を低減し、電池容量の低下を抑制できる。
次に、本実施の形態における負極層30について説明する。本実施の形態の負極層30は、固体電解質5と負極活物質4とを含む。負極層30は、さらに、必要に応じて、電子伝導度を確保するためアセチレンブラックおよびケッチェンブラックなどの導電助剤ならびにバインダーを添加してもよいが、添加量が多い場合には電池性能へ影響するため、電池性能に影響がない程度に少量であることが望ましい。固体電解質5と負極活物質4との比は、重量換算で固体電解質5:負極活物質4が5:95から60:40の範囲内であり、30:70から50:50の範囲内であってもよい。また、負極活物質4と固体電解質5との合計体積に対する負極活物質4の体積比率は、例えば、60%以上80%以下である。当該体積比率であることにより、負極層30内でのリチウムイオン伝導パスと電子伝導パスとの両方が確保されやすい。
固体電解質5に用いられる固体電解質材料は、特に限定されず、例えば、上述した[B-1.固体電解質]にて挙げた固体電解質材料から少なくとも1つ以上任意に選択される。固体電解質5は、例えば、複数の粒子で構成される。なお、固体電解質5を構成する複数の粒子の少なくとも一部は、圧縮および/またはせん断などを受けることによって凝集体を形成していてもよい。
上述したバインダーと同じであるため、省略する。
本実施の形態における負極活物質4について説明する。本実施の形態における負極活物質4の材料としては、例えば、リチウム、インジウム、スズ、ケイ素などのリチウムとの易合金化金属、ハードカーボン、黒鉛などの炭素材料、あるいは、Li4Ti5O12、SiOxなど、公知の材料が用いられる。
次に、本実施の形態における全固体電池100の製造方法について図2を用いて説明する。具体的には、正極集電体7と、正極層20と、固体電解質層40と、負極層30と、負極集電体8とがこの順で積層された構造を有する全固体電池100の製造方法について説明する。図2は、全固体電池100の製造方法を説明するための断面模式図である。
本実施の形態における正極層20の成膜工程(正極層成膜工程)では、例えば、以下の方法が行われる。
本実施の形態における負極層30の成膜工程(負極層成膜工程)は、使用する材料を負極層30用に変更した以外は、基本的な成膜方法が上記[E.正極層成膜工程]に記載の正極層20の成膜工程と同様である。なお、負極層成膜工程においては、溶媒を用いて負極合剤を製造してもよい。
本実施の形態における固体電解質層40は、例えば、固体電解質6および必要に応じてバインダーを溶媒に分散させてスラリーを作製し、得られたスラリーを上記で作成した正極層20、および/または、負極層30の上に塗布する。固体電解質層40は、溶媒を含まない粉体状態の材料を用いて製造してもよい。
積層工程およびプレス工程では、各成膜工程により得られた正極集電体7上に形成された正極層20、負極集電体8上に形成された負極層30、および固体電解質層40を、正極層20と負極層30との間に固体電解質層40が配置されるように積層した(積層工程)後、正極集電体7および負極集電体8の外側からプレスを行い(プレス工程)、全固体電池100を得る。
以下に本実施の形態にかかる全固体電池100の正極層20に関する詳細な製造方法例について説明するが、これらの製造方法例に限定されない。なお、特別の断りがない限り、各工程は、例えば、露点が-45℃以下に管理されたグローブボックス内、または、ドライルーム内で実施される。
まず、本実施の形態における正極合剤の作製方法について説明する。図3は、本実施の形態における正極合剤の作製方法(合剤調整工程)を示すフローチャートである。
次に、比較例における正極合剤の作製方法について説明する。図4は比較例おける正極合剤の作製方法(合剤調整工程)を示すフローチャートである。比較例における正極合剤の作製方法では、正極活物質3と固体電解質2と導電繊維9とを攪拌混合する(ステップS51)。ステップS51では、用いる材料以外は上述のステップS11と同じ操作が行われる。攪拌混合と表現される処理の内容は、ステップS11における説明と同じである。
ここで、上記の実施の形態および比較例における正極合剤の作製方法により作製された正極合剤、ならびに、作製された正極合剤を用いて形成された正極層における材料の挙動について説明する。具体的には、正極活物質3、固体電解質1、固体電解質2および導電繊維凝集物10を含む導電繊維9の状態の変化について、図5および図6を用いて比較して説明する。
次に、実施例にて本開示における全固体電池の電池性能を評価した結果について説明するが、本開示は実施例のみに限定されるものではない。具体的には、実施例1および比較例1における全固体電池を作製し、作製した全固体電池の電池特性を評価した。

上述の「(I)実施の形態における正極合剤の作製方法」に記載の方法により作製した正極合剤12を用いて正極層20を形成した。この際、正極層20における、正極活物質3、固体電解質1および固体電解質2の合計含有量に対する、固体電解質1および固体電解質2の合計含有量の比率は、15vol%であった。また、ステップS11における導電繊維9の添加量は、正極層20における正極活物質3、固体電解質1および固体電解質2の総量に対して、1.0vol%であった。
上述の「(II)比較例における正極合剤の作製方法」に記載の方法により作製した正極合剤を用いて正極層を形成した以外は、上述の実施例1における全固体電池と同様の方法で、比較例1における全固体電池を製造した。この際、正極層における、正極活物質3および固体電解質2の合計含有量に対する、固体電解質2の含有量の比率は、15vol%であった。また、ステップS51における導電繊維9の添加量は、正極層における正極活物質3および固体電解質2の総量に対して、1.0vol%であった。
次に、上記で作製した実施例1および比較例1における全固体電池の電池特性を評価した。具体的には、電池容量の指標となる電池特性として充放電効率を評価した結果を図9の表1に示す。充放電効率の評価では、低レート放電および高レート放電の2通りの条件で実施した。また、充放電効率の評価において、充電は、終止電圧3.7V、電流レート0.05C、および、温度25℃の条件で実施した。また、放電は、終止電圧1.9V、低レート放電の場合には電流レート0.05C、高レート放電の場合には電流レート1C、および、25℃の条件で実施した。また、充放電効率の評価では、充電から開始し、充電容量に対する放電容量の比率(%)を充放電効率として算出した。
