Thereafter, the mixture layer was rolled to have a thickness of 125 ⁇ m and a mixture density of 3.0 g/cm 3 , and then punched into 3 cm square pieces to obtain a positive electrode plate.
- the battery has a lead terminal attached to each of the positive and negative electrodes, electrode bodies facing each other through a separator (made of polyethylene, film thickness 16 ⁇ m, porosity 47%), and an aluminum laminate used as the battery exterior body.

このような不具合を抑制するために、バインダーによって活物質間を強固に結着させること(結着性)、活物質のサイズを小さくして膨潤収縮に伴う応力を緩和すること、あるいは電解液の添加剤を工夫することで、耐久性を改善する検討が行われている。
特許文献1には、特定の架橋剤によりポリアクリル酸を架橋した、架橋型アクリル酸系重合体を含有するバインダーが開示されており、シリコン系活物質を含む活物質を用いた場合であっても、電極構造が破壊されることなく良好なサイクル特性を示すことが開示されている。特許文献1に開示されるバインダーは、良好なサイクル特性を付与し得るものの、二次電池の性能向上のためにシリコン系活物質比率を高くする傾向があり、より高いサイクル特性が得られるバインダーが求められている。
〔1〕シリコン系活物質を含む二次電池負極を備える二次電池の電極用バインダーであって、カルボキシル基含有重合体又はその塩(以下、「重合体(A)」という。)及びカルボキシル基又はその塩を有してもよい水酸基含有重合体(但し、「重合体(A)」とは異なる。以下、「重合体(B)」という。)を含む、電極用バインダー。

これは、重合体(A)のみを含むバインダーの場合には、重合体(A)に含まれるカルボキシル基同士の強い水素結合によって、塗膜の機械的物性が脆性的になるのに対し、重合体(B)を併用したバインダーの場合には、当該カルボキシル基と当該水酸基が水素結合を形成し、当該重合体(A)のカルボキシル基同士の水素結合を緩和することで、バインダー塗膜の強靭性が得られるものと考えられる。

本重合体(A)が、(a)成分に由来す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ことで、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シリコン系活物質等の分散安定性を高めることができる。
重合体(A)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、水酸基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体(以下の式(1)で表される単量体、式(2)で表される単量体)、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、又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、又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。

[式中、R5は水素原子又はメチル基を表し、R6は水酸基又は炭素原子数1~8のヒドロキシアルキル基を表し、R7は水素原子又は1価の有機基を表す。]
但し、(a)成分に由来する構造単位及び上記水酸基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体重合体に由来する構造単位を有する重合体(A)は、後記重合体(B)とは異なる。
(b)成分としては、本バインダーの結着性向上効果に優れる点で、炭素原子数1~8のヒドロキシアルキル基を有するヒドロキシアルキル(メタ)アクリレートがより好ましく、2-ヒドロキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、3-ヒドロキシプロピル(メタ)アクリレート及び4-ヒドロキシブチル(メタ)アクリレートがさらに好ましい。
フェニル(メタ)アクリレート、フェニルメチル(メタ)アクリレート、フェニルエチル(メタ)アクリレート、フェノキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート等の芳香族(メタ)アクリル酸エステル化合物;
2-メトキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、2-エトキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート等の(メタ)アクリル酸アルコキシアルキルエステル化合物等が挙げられ、これらの内の1種を単独で使用してもよいし、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。
重合体(A)は、架橋構造を有する重合体(本架橋重合体)であってもよく、本架橋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(ただし、前記多官能架橋剤とは異なる。)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
本架橋重合体が架橋構造を有することにより、本架橋重合体塩を含むバインダーは、優れた結着力を有することができる。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。
本架橋重合体は、本組成物中において、中和度が20モル%以上となるように、エチレン性不飽和カルボン酸単量体由来のカルボキシル基等の酸基が中和され、塩の態様として用いることが好ましい。上記中和度は、より好ましくは50モル%以上であり、さらに好ましくは70モル%以上であり、一層好ましくは75モル%以上であり、より一層好ましくは80モル%以上であり、特に好ましくは85モル%以上である。中和度の上限値は100モル%であり、98モル%であってもよく95モル%であってもよい。中和度が20モル%以上の場合、水膨潤性が良好となり分散安定化効果が得やすいという点で好ましい。本明細書では、上記中和度は、カルボキシル基等の酸基を有する単量体及び中和に用いる中和剤の仕込み値から計算により算出することができる。なお、中和度は架橋重合体塩を、減圧条件下、80℃で3時間乾燥処理後の粉末をIR測定し、カルボン酸のC=O基由来のピークとカルボン酸塩のC=O基由来のピークの強度比より確認することができる。
本組成物において、本架橋重合体塩は大粒径の塊(二次凝集体)として存在することなく、適度な粒子径を有する水膨潤粒子として良好に分散していることが、当該架橋重合体塩を含むバインダーが良好な結着性能を発揮し得るため好ましい。
本架橋重合体は、沈殿重合若しくは分散重合により、エチレン性不飽和カルボン酸単量体を含む単量体成分含む単量体成分を重合する工程を、備える方法により得られる。
ここで、沈殿重合は、原料である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。
上記の内、粗大粒子の生成や反応器への付着が小さく重合安定性が良好であること、析出した重合体微粒子が二次凝集しにくい(若しくは二次凝集が生じても水媒体中で解れやすい)こと、連鎖移動定数が小さく重合度(一次鎖長)の大きい重合体が得られること、及び後述する工程中和の際に操作が容易であること等の点で、メチルエチルケトン及びアセトニトリルが好ましい。
重合体(A)は、架橋構造を有しない重合体(本非架橋重合体)であってもよく、本非架橋重合体は、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(前記(a)成分)を含む。本非架橋重合体の(a)成分の導入方法は、本架橋重合体の(a)成分において記載した方法と同様であってもよい。
本非架橋重合体は、(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(前記(b)成分)を含むことができる。
(b)成分の導入方法は、本架橋重合体の(b)成分において記載した方法と同様であってもよい。
本非架橋重合体の製造方法としては、公知の重合方法(溶液重合、沈殿重合、懸濁重合、乳化重合等)を使用することが可能であり、分子量又は組成等により適宜選定すればよい。
重合開始剤としては、アゾ系化合物、有機過酸化物、無機過酸化物等の公知の重合開始剤を用いることができるが、特に限定されるものではない。熱開始、還元剤を併用したレドックス開始、UV開始等、公知の方法で適切なラジカル発生量となるように使用条件を調整することができる。
また、分子量の調整等を目的として、必要に応じて公知の連鎖移動剤を使用してもよい。
重合体(B)は、カルボキシル基又はその塩を有してもよい水酸基含有重合体(但し、重合体(A)とは異なる。)であり、特に限定されず、前記水酸基含有エチレン性不飽和単量体に由来する構造単位を有する重合体、ビニルアルコールに由来する構造単位((以下、「(c)成分」ともいう。)を有する重合体等が挙げられる。重合体(B)としては、本バインダー塗膜の強靭性に優れ、シリコン系活物質を含む二次電池負極を備える二次電池のサイクル特性を向上できる点で、特に、(c)成分を有する重合体が好ましい。
また、重合体(B)は、架橋重合体であってもよいし、非架橋重合体であってもよい。架橋重合体と本非架橋重合体は、それぞれ単独で使用してもよいし、併用してもよい。また、架橋重合体又は非架橋重合体は、1種を単独で使用してもよいし、2種以上を併用してもよい。
(c)成分の導入方法は、酢酸ビニル、プロピオン酸ビニル等のビニルエステル化合物を含む単量体成分を公知の重合方法(溶液重合、沈殿重合、懸濁重合、乳化重合等)を使用することで得られる重合体をけん化させる方法が挙げられる。
前記ビニルエステル化合物としては、原料の入手が容易であり、けん化反応が進行しやすい等の点から、酢酸ビニルが好ましい。ビニルエステル化合物は、1種を単独で使用してもよいし、2種以上を併用してもよい。
さらに、重合体(B)は、カルボキシル基又はその塩を有してもよく、カルボキシル基又はその塩の導入方法としては、酢酸ビニル、プロピオン酸ビニル等のビニルエステル化合物、及び、(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステル化合物等のエチレン性不飽和カルボン酸エステル化合物を含む単量体成分を、前記の公知の重合を行うことで得られる重合体をけん化させる方法が挙げられる。
ビニルエステル化合物としては、前記と同様で酢酸ビニル、プロピオン酸ビニル等が挙げられ、原料の入手が容易であり、けん化反応が進行しやすい等の点から、酢酸ビニルが好ましい。
(メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステル化合物としては、(メタ)アクリル酸メチル、(メタ)アクリル酸エチル、(メタ)アクリル酸n-プロピル、(メタ)アクリル酸イソプロピル、(メタ)アクリル酸n-ブチル、(メタ)アクリル酸t-ブチル等が挙げられ、けん化反応が進行しやすい点から、アクリル酸メチル、メタクリル酸メチルが好ましい。
この場合、前記重合体(B)が有するカルボキシル基の濃度が低く、組成物の塗布乾燥後には、同一分子内のカルボキシル基と水酸基との相互作用による分子内での疑似的な環状架橋構造よりも、他の分子のカルボキシル基と水酸基との分子間の相互作用が支配的となるために、バインダー塗膜が強靭化し、シリコン系活物質を含む二次電池負極を備える二次電池のサイクル特性を向上すると考えられる。
重合体(B)の製造方法としては、公知の重合方法(溶液重合、沈殿重合、懸濁重合、乳化重合等)を使用することが可能であり、分子量又は組成等により適宜選定すればよい。
重合開始剤としては、アゾ系化合物、有機過酸化物、無機過酸化物等の公知の重合開始剤を用いることができるが、特に限定されるものではない。熱開始、還元剤を併用したレドックス開始、UV開始等、公知の方法で適切なラジカル発生量となるように使用条件を調整することができる。
また、分子量の調整等を目的として、必要に応じて公知の連鎖移動剤を使用してもよい。
本バインダーは、重合体(A)及び重合体(B)を含むものである。
重合体(A)及び重合体(B)の使用量としては、バインダー塗膜の強靭性、及びシリコン系活物質を含む二次電池負極を備える二次電池のサイクル特性を向上することができる点で、重合体(A)が有するカルボキシル基のモル数(mA)及び重合体(B)が有する水酸基のモル数(mB)に基づき、下記数式(1)により算出されるRc値が、0.1以上0.9以下であることが好ましく、0.2以上0.8以下であることがより好ましく、0.3以上0.7以下であることがさらに好ましく、0.4以上0.7以下であることがより好ましい。
Rc値=mA/(mA+mB) (1)
抗張積(MPa・%)=最大応力(MPa)×破断伸度(%) (2)
本発明の二次電池負極合剤層用組成物は、本バインダー、シリコン系活物質及び水を含む。
本組成物における本バインダーの使用量は、シリコン系活物質の全量100質量部に対して、例えば、0.1質量部以上20質量部以下である。上記使用量は、また例えば、0.2質量部以上10質量部以下であり、また例えば0.3質量部以上8質量部以下であり、また例えば0.4質量部以上5質量部以下である。バインダーの使用量が0.1質量部以上であれば、十分な結着性を得ることができる。また、シリコン系活物質等の分散安定性を確保することができ、均一な合剤層を形成することができる。バインダーの使用量が20質量部以下であれば、本組成物が高粘度となることはなく、集電体への塗工性を確保することができる。その結果、均一で平滑な表面を有する合剤層を形成することができる。
炭素系活物質は、それ自身が良好な電気伝導性を有するため、必ずしも導電助剤を添加する必要はない。抵抗をより低減する等の目的で導電助剤を添加する場合、エネルギー密度の観点からその使用量は活物質の全量100質量部に対して、例えば、10質量部以下であり、また例えば、5質量部以下である。
上記脂肪族共役ジエン系単量体としては、例えば、1,3-ブタジエンの他に2-メチル-1,3-ブタジエン、2,3-ジメチル-1,3-ブタジエン、2-クロロ-1,3-ブタジエン等が挙げられ、これらの内の1種又は2種以上を用いることができる。上記共重合体中における上記脂肪族共役ジエン系単量体に由来する構造単位は、バインダーの結着性及び得られる電極の柔軟性が良好なものとなる点で、例えば、30~70質量%の範囲とすることができ、また例えば、40~60質量%の範囲とすることができる。
スチレン/ブタジエン系ラテックスは、上記の単量体以外にも、結着性等の性能をさらに向上させるために、その他の単量体として(メタ)アクリロニトリル等のニトリル基含有単量体、(メタ)アクリル酸、イタコン酸、マレイン酸等のカルボキシル基含有単量体、(メタ)アクリル酸メチル等のエステル基含有単量体を共重合単量体として用いてもよい。
上記共重合体中における上記その他の単量体に由来する構造単位は、例えば、0~30質量%の範囲とすることができ、また例えば、0~20質量%の範囲とすることができる。
本発明の二次電池負極は、銅等の集電体表面に本発明の二次電池負極合剤層用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。
本発明の二次電池負極に、二次電極正極、セパレータ及び電解液を備えることにより、二次電池を作製することができる。
ここで、二次電極正極用の正極活物質としては、遷移金属酸化物のリチウム塩を用いることができ、例えば、層状岩塩型及びスピネル型のリチウム含有金属酸化物を使用することができる。層状岩塩型の正極活物質の具体的な化合物としては、コバルト酸リチウム、ニッケル酸リチウム、並びに、三元系と呼ばれるNCM{Li(Nix,Coy,Mnz)、x+y+z=1}及びNCA{Li(Ni1-a-bCoaAlb)}等が挙げられる。また、スピネル型の正極活物質としては、マンガン酸リチウム等が挙げられる。酸化物以外にもリン酸塩、ケイ酸塩及び硫黄等が使用され、リン酸塩としては、オリビン型のリン酸鉄リチウム等が挙げられる。正極活物質としては、上記のうちの1種を単独で使用してもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて混合物又は複合物として使用してもよい。
セパレータは電池の正極及び負極間に配され、両極の接触による短絡の防止や電解液を保持してイオン導電性を確保する役割を担う。セパレータにはフィルム状の絶縁性微多孔膜であって、良好なイオン透過性及び機械的強度を有するものが好ましい。具体的な素材としては、ポリエチレン及びポリプロピレン等のポリオレフィン、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン等を使用することができる。
(製造例1:カルボキシル基含有架橋重合体塩P-1の製造)
重合には、攪拌翼、温度計、還流冷却器及び窒素導入管を備えた反応器を用いた。

ここで、ガスクロマトグラフィー(GC)測定により、残存モノマー量を測定し、モノマーの重合率を算出したところ、各モノマーの重合率は、MA98%、VAc96%であった。
また、得られた重合反応液の一部をテトラヒドロフランに溶解させた後メンブレンフィルター(ADVANTEC社製:孔径0.45μm)にてろ過を実施した後、MAとVAcの共重合体について、以下の条件にてゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー(GPC)測定を行い、ポリスチレン換算による重量平均分子量(Mw)を得た結果、108万であった。

水酸基含有重合体CP-1は吸湿性を有するため、水蒸気バリア性を有する容器に密封保管した。なお、水酸基含有重合体CP-1の粉末をIR測定し、カルボン酸のC=O基由来のピークとカルボン酸LiのC=O由来のピークの強度比より中和度を求めたところ、90モル%であった。
MA7.6部、VAc12.4部でモノマー溶液を調製し、MA30.4部及びVAc49.6部の混合溶液を滴下ロートにより4時間かけて滴下した以外は製造例2と同様な操作を行った。各モノマーの重合率は、MA95%、VAc87%であった。
製造例2と同様にけん化を行い、MAとVAcの共重合体のけん化物(以下、「水酸基含有重合体CP-2」ともいう。)を得た。ここで、前記のMA及びVAcの重合率に基づくと、水酸基含有重合体CP-2は、「アクリル酸に由来する構造単位を51質量%(40.1モル%)」及び「ビニルアルコールに由来する構造単位を49質量%(59.9モル%)」有する水酸基含有重合体のリチウム塩である。
水酸基含有重合体CP-2は吸湿性を有するため、水蒸気バリア性を有する容器に密封保管した。なお、水酸基含有重合体CP-2の粉末をIR測定し、カルボン酸のC=O基由来のピークとカルボン酸LiのC=O由来のピークの強度比より中和度を求めたところ、90モル%であった。
(バインダー塗膜の作製)
容器内に、重合体(A)としてカルボキシル基含有架橋重合体塩P-1、重合体(B)としてポリビニルアルコールPVA-1(クラレ社製、クラレポバール28-98(けん化度98モル%)、重合度1700)にイオン交換水を加えて調製した8%水溶液を表1に記載した部数を添加後、自転公転式ミキサー装置(シンキ―社製 泡とり練太郎ARE―310)で2200rpm、7分混合することによりバインダー水分散液を得た。
その後、上記バインダー水溶液をディスポトレイに注ぎ、40℃で20時間乾燥し、さらに80℃で12時間真空乾燥した。
乾燥後に得られたバインダー塗膜を8号ダンベル(JIS K6251)サイズに打ち抜いて試験片を作製し、強靭性を測定した。
Rc値=mA/(mA+mB)
mA:重合体(A)が有するカルボキシル基のモル数
mB:重合体(B)が有する水酸基のモル数
・mA=((P-1の固形分配合量部数:9部)×(アクリル酸に由来する構造単位の質量%:100%)/100)/((アクリル酸に由来する構造単位の分子量:72.06)×(1-(P-1の中和度:90モル%)/100)+(アクリル酸リチウムに由来する構造単位の分子量:78.00)×(P-1の中和度:90モル%)/100))=0.12
・mB=((PVA-1の固形分配合量部数:11部)×(酢酸ビニルに由来する構造単位の質量%:100%)/100)/((酢酸ビニルに由来する構造単位の分子量:86.09)×(1-(PVA-1のけん化度:98モル%)/100)+(ビニルアルコールに由来する構造単位の分子量:44.05)×(PVA-1のけん化度:98モル%)/100))=0.25
よって、Rc値=0.12/(0.12+0.25)=0.32と算出された。
バインダー塗膜を打ち抜いて作製した試験片について、引張試験機(オリエンテック社製テンシロンRTC-1210A)を用いて7.5mm/minの速度で引張試験を行った。その結果、最大応力は62MPa、破断伸度は1.2%、ヤング率は5.1GPaであった。
また、抗張積を下式より計算し、強靭性の指標とした。
抗張積(MPa・%) = 最大応力(MPa)×破断伸度(%)
配合を表1に記載の通りとした以外は、実施例1と同様の操作を行うことによりバインダー塗膜を作製し、強靭性を評価した。その結果を表1に示す。なお、Rc値の算出は、実施例1と同様に行った。
なお、比較例1及び5については、バインダー塗膜が得られず、引張試験の測定ができなかったため、表1に「測定不可」と記載した。
・P-2:ポリアクリル酸(シグマアルドリッチ社製、ポリアクリル酸水溶液(固形分濃度35質量%)、重量平均分子量100,000)
・P-3:ポリアクリル酸ナトリウム(東亞合成社製、ポリアクリル酸ナトリウム水溶液(固形分濃度43質量%)、アロン(登録商標)A-20L、重量平均分子量1,000,000)
・PVA-1:ポリビニルアルコール(クラレ社製、クラレポバール28-98(けん化度98モル%)、重合度1700)
・PVA-2:ポリビニルアルコール(クラレ社製、クラレポバール60-98(けん化度98モル%)、重合度2400)
・PVA-3:ポリビニルアルコール(日本酢ビ・ポバール社製、JL-18E(けん化度83~86モル%)、重合度1500)
(負極合剤層用組成物1の調製)
活物質としては黒鉛(昭和電工社製 商品名「SCMG-CF」)、Si系活物質(大阪チタニウムテクノロジーズ社製SiO 5μm)を用いた。導電助剤としてアセチレンブラック(デンカ社製 Li400)を用いた。バインダーとしては、重合体(A)としてのカルボキシル基含有架橋重合体塩P-1と、重合体(B)としての水酸基含有重合体PVA-1の混合物を用いた。
プラネタリーミキサー(プライミクス社製 ハイビスミックス2P-03型)に負極合剤層用組成物の固形分濃度が37質量%となるように、イオン交換水を希釈溶媒として、黒鉛:Si系活物質:アセチレンブラック:バインダー(P-1/PVA-1=9/11;Rc値0.32)=30/45/5/20(固形分)の質量比で添加して、1時間30分混合し、スラリー状態の負極合剤層用組成物1を調製した。
黒鉛:Si系活物質:アセチレンブラック:バインダー(P-1/PVA-1=9/11;Rc値0.32)=50/25/5/20(固形分)の質量比とした以外、負極合剤層用組成物1と同様に、スラリー状態の負極合剤層用組成物2を調製した。
次いで、可変式アプリケーターを用いて、厚さ16.5μmの集電体(銅箔)上に負極合剤層用組成物1を塗布し、通風乾燥機内で80℃×15分間の乾燥を行うことにより合剤層を形成した。その後、合剤層の厚みが43μm、合剤密度が2.30±0.10g/cm3になるよう圧延後、3cm正方に打ち抜いて負極極板1を得た。
負極合剤層用組成物2を用いて合剤層の厚みが30μm、合剤密度が1.60±0.10g/cm3とした以外は負極極板1と同様に調整し、負極極板2を得た。
N-メチルピロリドン(NMP)溶媒中、正極活物質としてLiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2(NCM)を100部、アセチレンブラックを2部、混合して添加し、正極用バインダーとしてポリフッ化ビニリデン(PVDF)を4部混合し、正極合剤層用組成物を調製した。アルミニウム集電体(厚み:20μm)に前記正極合剤層用組成物を塗布乾燥することにより合剤層を形成した。その後、合剤層の厚みが125μm、合剤密度が3.0g/cm3になるように圧延した後、3cm正方に打ち抜いて正極極板を得た。
エチレンカーボネート(EC)とジメチルカーボネート(DMC)とからなる混合溶媒(体積比でEC:DMC=3:7)に、ビニレンカーボネート(VC)を1質量%、フルオロエチレンカーボネート(FEC)を2質量%になるように添加し、LiPF6を1.2モル/リットル溶解して非水電解質を調製した。
電池の構成は、正・負極それぞれにリード端子を取り付け、セパレータ(ポリエチレン製:膜厚16μm、空孔率47%)を介して対向させた電極体を電池外装体としてアルミニウムラミネートを用いたものに入れて注液を行い、封止して試験用電池とした。尚、本試作電池の設計容量は50mAhである。電池の設計容量としては、4.2Vまでの充電終止電圧を基準にして設計を行った。
なお、負極としては、上記負極極板1及び上記負極極板2を用い、それぞれを備える二次電池を作製した。
上記で作製したラミネート型セルのリチウムイオン二次電池を、45℃の環境下でCC放電にて2.5から4.2Vの条件下、0.1Cの充放電レートにて充放電の操作を行い、初期容量C0を測定した。さらに、25℃の環境下で充放電をCC放電にて2.5から4.2Vの条件下、0.5Cの充放電レートにて繰り返し、100サイクル後の容量C100を測定した。
ここで、以下の式によりサイクル特性(ΔC)を求めた。
ΔC=C100/C0×100(%)
上記の式で算出されるΔCは86.4%であり、以下の基準に基づくサイクル特性は「A」と評価された。
なお、ΔCの値が高いほどサイクル特性に優れることを示す。
(サイクル特性の判定基準)
A:充放電容量保持率が86.0%以上
B:充放電容量保持率が85.0%以上86.0%未満
C:充放電容量保持率が84.0%以上85.0%未満
D:充放電容量保持率が83.0%未満
配合を表1に記載の通りとした以外は、実施例1と同様の操作を行うことにより、負極合剤層用組成物1及び負極合剤層用組成物2をそれぞれ調製し、当該組成物を用いて得られた負極極板1及び負極極板2をそれぞれ備える二次電池のサイクル特性を評価した。その結果を表1に示す。
実施例1~7の結果から明らかなように、本発明の電極用バインダーは、バインダー塗膜の強靭性に優れ、本発明の電極用バインダー及びシリコン系活物質を含む二次電池負極合剤層用組成物から得られる二次電池負極を備える二次電池のサイクル特性に優れるものであった。
これらのバインダー塗膜の抗張積に着目すると、抗張積が50を超える場合(実施例1~7)には、二次電池のサイクル特性が良好であった(C評価以上)。特に抗張積が300を超える場合(実施例2、4~7)は、二次電池のサイクル特性が優れる結果であった(B評価以上)。さらに、抗張積が800を超える場合(実施例4~6)は、二次電池のサイクル特性に一層優れる結果であった(A評価)。
本発明の電極用バインダーは、特に非水電解質二次電池電極に好適に用いることができ、中でも、エネルギー密度が高い非水電解質リチウムイオン二次電池に有用である。
