Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は正極活物質及びその製造方法並びにそれを備えた非水電解質二次電池に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、リチウム二次電池は、携帯電話、ノートパソコン、ビデオカメラ等の小型電源として急速に需要を伸ばしている。また、その高いエネルギー密度から、将来、電気自動車、電力平準化用等の大型電源への利用も期待されている。
【0003】
非水電解質二次電池の正極にはリチウム遷移金属酸化物が、負極には黒鉛、非晶質炭素、酸化物、リチウム合金およびリチウム金属が提案されている。現在、正極活物質としてコバルト酸リチウム(LiCoO2)が主に用いられているが、この活物質は高価であり、将来予測される非水電解質二次電池の大量消費に対応するためには、より安価な正極活物質の開発が重要である。
【0004】
さらに、環境問題への関心が日々高まる中で、活物質の環境負荷が極力低いことが望まれる。現在、マンガンやニッケル、鉄を含む化合物が非水電解質二次電池用正極活物質として精力的に研究されているが、中でも鉄は最も安価で環境負荷が低い材料であるため、鉄化合物は次世代非水電解質二次電池用正極活物質として大変魅力的である。
【0005】
非水電解質二次電池用鉄含有正極活物質として、これまで種々の鉄化合物、例えば、トンネル構造または層状ジグザグ構造を有するLiFeO2(J.Electrochem.Soc.、143、2435(1996))、オリビン型LiFePO4(J.Electrochem.Soc.、144、1609(1997))、スピネル型LiFe5O8(J.Electrochem.Soc.、146、4371(1999))、六方晶層状岩塩型構造を有するLiFeO2(特開平10―67519)、アモルファス状γ−FeOOH(J.Electrochem.Soc.、142、360(1995))、β−FeOOH(J.Power Sources、81−82、221(1999))、非晶質含銅水酸化鉄(第40回電池討論会講演要旨集、3C08)が提案されてきた。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来の鉄化合物の中で、高容量活物質であるオキシ水酸化鉄(FeOOH)が近年特に注目されている。FeOOHには種々の結晶系が存在するが、中でもβ型は良好なサイクル性能を示すことが報告されている(J.Power Sources、81−82、221(1999))。
【0007】
また、最近、β―FeOOHの非水電解質二次電池正極特性とその結晶性との関係が調べられ、非晶質β―FeOOHが高結晶β―FeOOHよりも良好なサイクル性能を示すことが報告された(第41回電池討論会講演要旨集、3D19(2000))。しかし、非晶質β―FeOOHの粒径とその充放電特性に関する知見はこれまで得られていない。
【0008】
そこで、本発明者はかかる課題を解決するために鋭意努力した結果、粒子のモード径が10μm以下である非晶質β―FeOOHを正極活物質に使用した非水電解質二次電池は良好なサイクル性能を示すことを初めて見出した。
【0009】
本発明は、従来にない新規な鉄化合物を正極活物質として適用することにより良好なサイクル性能を示し、しかも安価で環境負荷が低い非水電解質二次電池を提供することを目的とする。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、非水電解質二次電池に関する発明であって、非水電解質二次電池の正極活物質として、Li、Na、K、Mg、Al、Ca、Sc、Ti、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Zr、Pb、Snからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一種の元素を0.12wt%以上の含有量で含み、かつ、粒子のモード径が9.5μm以下で、さらにCuKα線を用いたX線回折法で、半値幅Yが0.3°<Y(2θ)の(110)面回折ピークを示すβ−FeOOHを用いることを特徴とする。
【0011】
本発明の非水電解質二次電池では、良好なサイクル性能が得られる。また、本発明によれば、上記元素が非晶質β―FeOOHの結晶内で柱の役割を果たし、非晶質構造を安定化し、これを正極活物質に用いた非水電解質二次電池では、良好なサイクル性能が得られる。
【0016】
上記非水電解質二次電池の製造方法に関しては、正極活物質の製造工程が、塩化第二鉄とLi、Na、K、Mg、Al、Ca、Sc、Ti、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Zr、Pb、Snからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一種の元素を含む塩が溶解した水溶液を40℃から100℃の範囲内で加水分解する工程を含むことが好ましい。
【0017】
この製造方法は、正極活物質製造の工業化プロセスとして優れ、非水電解質二次電池の簡便な製造方法である。
【0018】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の非水電解質二次電池においては、正極活物質として、粒子のモード径が9.5μm以下で、さらにCuKα線を用いたX線回折法で、半値幅Yが0.3°<Y(2θ)の(110)面回折ピークを示すβ−FeOOHを用いる。
【0019】
また、このβ−FeOOHの粒子のモード径は9.5μm以下とする必要があり、より好ましくは6.2μm以下である。粒子のモード径が9.5μm以下に限定される理由は、モード径がより大きくなると、活物質のサイクル性能が著しく低下するからである。ここで粒子の「モード径」とは、粒度分布曲線の最大値であり、その粉体中に最も多く含まれる粒子径であり、Dmodで表わされる(粉体−理論と応用、久保輝一郎他編、丸善、1979年発行)。
【0020】
また、ここで粒子形状は、一次粒子でも、一次粒子の凝集体でも、あるいは一次粒子とその凝集体の混合物でもかまわず、一次粒子あるいはその凝集体のモード径が10μm以下であればよい。
【0021】
この正極活物質を非水電解質二次電池に使用する場合には、一次粒子よりも凝集体の方が好ましい。その理由は、凝集体を活物質として用いた方が導電剤の量を少量にすることができ、その結果電池エネルギー密度をより高くすることができるからである。
【0022】
本発明の非晶質β−FeOOHを非水電解質二次電池の正極活物質として適用した場合、リチウムの挿入・脱離に伴い、(110)面回折ピーク強度が低下し、結晶性が低下する。そこで非晶質β―FeOOHに、Li、Na、K、Mg、Al、Ca、Sc、Ti、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Zr、Pb、Snからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一種の元素を含有させることにより、サイクル性能が向上する。この理由は、これらの元素が結晶内で柱の役割を果たし、非晶質構造を安定化する効果があるからと推察される。
【0023】
また、本発明のβ−FeOOH中における上記元素の含有量は0.01wt%以上とする必要がある。含有量が0.12wt%以上の時サイクル性能が著しく向上するが、一定以上添加してもサイクル性能向上への効果は変化せず、一方、非晶質β−FeOOH中の上記元素の添加量が多くなると、容量が減少するため、これらの元素の添加量は、0.12wt%以上で、できるだけの少量とすることが好ましい。
【0024】
本発明の非晶質β−FeOOHの製造方法を例示すれば、塩化第二鉄が溶解した水溶液に、Li、Na、K、Mg、Al、Ca、Sc、Ti、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Zr、Pb、Snからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一種の元素を含む塩を添加し、40℃から100℃の範囲内で加水分解することによって得られる。なお、加水分解後に、1日以上熟成、濾過、水洗、乾燥することが好ましい。この製造方法は極めて簡便であり、工業化プロセスとして大変優れている。
【0025】
本発明の正極活物質の製造方法で用いられる塩化第二鉄には水和物を用いることもできる。Li、Na、K、Mg、Al、Ca、Sc、Ti、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Zr、Pb、Snからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも一種の元素を含む塩に関しては、水溶性であれば種類を問わないが、中でも硫酸塩が好ましい。これは、硫酸塩を用いると、収率が著しく向上するからである。上記塩として、硫酸塩、塩化物、硝酸塩、リン酸塩を用いた場合、生成物にそれぞれ、S、Cl、N、Pが混入する。上記元素を含む塩に関しては、水和物を用いることができ、それぞれの単独あるいは2種以上の混合物を用いることができる。
【0026】
本発明の非晶質β−FeOOHにリチウムを含有させる方法としては、電気化学的、化学的手法が例示される。化学的手法には、本発明活物質をn−BuLiやLiIに代表される還元剤と反応させる方法が例示される。
【0027】
本発明の非水電解質二次電池で用いられる負極材料においては、金属リチウムまたは/およびリチウムイオンを吸蔵放出することが可能な物質が用いられる。リチウムイオンを吸蔵、放出することが可能な物質としては、黒鉛、非晶質炭素、酸化物、窒化物およびリチウム合金が例示される。窒化物としてはLi2.6Co0.4Nに代表されるリチウム含有窒化物を用いることができ、またリチウム合金としては、例えばリチウムとアルミニウム、亜鉛、ビスマス、カドミウム、アンチモン、シリコン、鉛、錫との合金を用いることができる。
【0028】
本発明の非水電解質二次電池で用いられる非水電解質としては、非水電解液でも固体電解質であってもかまわない。非水電解液に用いられる溶媒としては、エチレンカーボネート、プロピレンカーボネート、ジメチルカーボネート、ジエチルカーボネート、メチルエチルカーボネート、γ−ブチロラクトン、スルホラン、ジメチルスルホキシド、アセトニトリル、ジメチルホルムアミド、ジメチルアセトアミド、1、2−ジメトキシエタン、1、2−ジエトキシエタン、テトラヒドロフラン、2−メチルテトラヒドロフラン、ジオキソラン、メチルアセテート等の極性溶媒およびこれらの混合溶媒が例示される。また、その溶質としては、LiPF6、LiBF4、LiAsF6、LiClO4、LiSCN、LiCF3CO2、LiCF3SO3、LiN(SO2CF3)2、LiN(SO2CF2CF3)2、LiN(COCF3)2およびLiN(COCF2CF3)2などの塩もしくはこれらの混合物が例示される。

図1に、本発明電池A1に用いられた正極活物質のX線回折パターン(CuKα線)を示す。図1の回折ピークの位置から、本発明電池A1に用いられた活物質がβ―FeOOHであることがわかった。回折パターンを詳細に観察すると、回折ピークはブロードであり、(110)面回折ピークの半値幅は0.3°以上であった。したがって、本発明電池A1に用いられた活物質は非晶質β―FeOOHであることがわかった。なお、本発明電池A2、A3、A4、A5、A6、A7、A8、A9、A10および比較電池B1に用いられた活物質は、いずれも図1と同様のX線回折パターンを示し、非晶質β―FeOOHであることがわかった。
【0043】
表1に本発明電池A1、A2、A3、A4、A5および比較電池B1に関して、粒度分析で決定された各活物質粒子のモード径を示す。
【0044】
【表1】
【0045】
表1から、本発明電池A1、A2、A3、A4、A5に用いられた活物質粒子のモード径が9.5μm以下であることがわかった。また、SEM観察から、本発明電池A1に用いられた活物質は大部分が一次粒子からなり、本発明電池A2、A3、A4、A5に用いられた活物質は大部分が一次粒子の凝集体であることが確認された。
【0046】
[充放電特性]
上記のようにして製作した本発明電池および比較電池について、一定電流で10サイクルの充放電試験を実施した。充電、放電終始電圧をそれぞれ4.3V、1.6Vとし、電流値を0.2mA/cm2とした。測定温度を25゜Cとした。
【0047】
図2は、10サイクル目における本発明電池A1、A2、A3、A4、A5および比較電池B1の放電容量維持率(%)と、各電池に用いられた正極活物質粒子のモード径との関係を示したものである。ここで、「放電容量維持率」を、初期放電容量に対する10サイクル目の放電容量の比として定義し、百分率で表した。
【0048】
図2から、本発明電池A1、A2、A3、A4、A5のほうが比較電池B1よりも放電容量維持率が高いことが分かった。さらに、活物質粒子のモード径が9.5μm以下、特に6.2μm以下のとき、放電容量維持率が著しく高くなることが分かった。したがって、粒子のモード径が9.5μm以下のとき、非晶質β―FeOOHのサイクル性能が著しく向上することがわかった。
【0049】
ICP発光分光分析から、本発明電池A6、A7、A8、A9、A10に用いられた活物質中にAlが含まれていることが確認された。そこでつぎに、Al含有量と充放電特性との関係を調べた。なお、粒度分析から、本発明電池A6、A7、A8、A9、A10に用いられた活物質粒子のモード径は3〜5μmであることがわかった。
【0050】
図3は、10サイクル目における本発明電池A6、A7、A8、A9、A10の放電容量維持率と、活物質中のAl含有量との関係を示したものである。明らかに活物質中のAl含有量が0.1wt%以上のとき、放電容量維持率が著しく高くなることがわかった。
【0051】
本実施例1〜10の電池の正極では、活物質、アセチレンブラック、およびPVdFの比を80:10:10とした。そこで、つぎに充放電特性に与える導電剤量の影響を調べた。本発明電池A11およびA12に関して、上記比率を70:20:10として充放電試験を行い、本発明電池A1およびA2の充放電特性と比較した。充放電条件は実施例1と同様である。その結果、本発明電池A11およびA12の10サイクル目における放電容量維持率は同様であった。
【0052】
一方、導電剤量を10wt%とした場合、図2に示したように、本発明電池A2の方がA1と比べて放電容量維持率は高かった。本発明電池A1に用いられた活物質は一次粒子、A2に用いられた活物質は凝集体である。したがって、活物質として凝集体を用いた方が、導電剤量を減らした場合においても高い放電容量を維持することがわかった。
【0053】
本実施例では、塩化第二鉄とリチウム塩、マグネシウム塩、銅塩、またはアルミニウム塩とをともに加水分解することによって得られた非晶質β−FeOOHについて述べたが、塩化第二鉄とNa、K、Ca、Sc、Ti、V、Cr、Mn、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、Zr、Pb、Snを含む塩とをともに加水分解して得られた非晶質β―FeOOHも同様にして、良好なサイクル性能を示した。
【0054】
【発明の効果】
以上述べたように、本発明の、粒子のモード径が9.5μm以下であり、さらにCuKα線を用いたX線回折法で、半値幅Yが0.3°<Y(2θ)の(110)面回折ピークを示すβ−FeOOHを正極活物質に備えた非水電解質二次電池は良好なサイクル性能を示した。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a positive electrode active material, a method for producing the same, and a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery including the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, the demand for lithium secondary batteries has rapidly increased as a compact power source for mobile phones, notebook computers, video cameras, and the like. In addition, due to its high energy density, it is expected to be used for large power sources such as electric vehicles and power leveling in the future.
[0003]
A lithium transition metal oxide has been proposed for the positive electrode of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, and graphite, amorphous carbon, oxide, lithium alloy and lithium metal have been proposed for the negative electrode. Currently, lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2 ) is mainly used as the positive electrode active material, but this active material is expensive, and in order to cope with mass consumption of non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries predicted in the future, It is important to develop a cheaper cathode active material.
[0004]
Furthermore, it is desired that the environmental load of the active material is as low as possible as interest in environmental issues increases day by day. Currently, compounds containing manganese, nickel, and iron have been energetically studied as positive electrode active materials for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries. Among these, iron is the cheapest and environmentally friendly material, so It is very attractive as a positive electrode active material for generation non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries.
[0005]
As iron-containing positive electrode active materials for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries, various iron compounds such as LiFeO 2 having a tunnel structure or a layered zigzag structure (J. Electrochem. Soc., 143 , 2435 (1996)), olivine Type LiFePO 4 (J. Electrochem. Soc., 144 , 1609 (1997)), spinel type LiFe 5 O 8 (J. Electrochem. Soc., 146 , 4371 (1999)), LiFeO having a hexagonal layered rock salt structure 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-67519), amorphous γ-FeOOH (J. Electrochem. Soc., 142 , 360 (1995)), β-FeOOH (J. Power Sources, 81-82 , 221 (1999)), non- Crystalline copper-containing iron hydroxide ( 40 times the battery debate Abstracts, 3C08) have been proposed.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Among the conventional iron compounds, iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH), which is a high-capacity active material, has attracted particular attention in recent years. There are various crystal systems in FeOOH, and among them, β-type has been reported to show good cycle performance (J. Power Sources, 81-82 , 221 (1999)).
[0007]
Recently, the relationship between the positive electrode characteristics of β-FeOOH non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery and its crystallinity has been investigated, and it has been reported that amorphous β-FeOOH exhibits better cycle performance than highly crystalline β-FeOOH. (Abstracts of the 41st Battery Conference, 3D19 (2000)). However, knowledge about the particle diameter of amorphous β-FeOOH and its charge / discharge characteristics has not been obtained so far.
[0008]
Therefore, as a result of intensive efforts to solve such problems, the present inventor has achieved a good cycle of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery using amorphous β-FeOOH having a particle mode diameter of 10 μm or less as a positive electrode active material. It was found for the first time to show performance.
[0009]
An object of the present invention is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that exhibits good cycle performance by applying an unprecedented novel iron compound as a positive electrode active material, and that is inexpensive and has a low environmental load.

[0017]

[0018]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present invention, the positive electrode active material has a particle mode diameter of 9.5 μm or less, and an X-ray diffraction method using CuKα rays. Y of (2 [Theta]) a (110) plane diffraction peak indicates to use β -FeOOH.
[0019]
The mode diameter of the β- FeOOH particles needs to be 9.5 μm or less, more preferably 6.2 μm or less. The reason why the mode diameter of the particles is limited to 9.5 μm or less is that the cycle performance of the active material is significantly lowered when the mode diameter is larger. Here, the “mode diameter” of the particle is the maximum value of the particle size distribution curve, and is the particle diameter most contained in the powder and is expressed by D mod (powder-theory and application, Teruichiro Kubo Other edition, Maruzen, published in 1979).
[0020]
Here, the particle shape may be primary particles, aggregates of primary particles, or a mixture of primary particles and aggregates, and the mode diameter of primary particles or aggregates may be 10 μm or less.
[0021]
When this positive electrode active material is used in a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, an aggregate is preferable to a primary particle. The reason is that the use of the aggregate as the active material can reduce the amount of the conductive agent, and as a result, the battery energy density can be further increased.
[0022]
When the amorphous β-FeOOH of the present invention is applied as a positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the (110) plane diffraction peak intensity decreases and the crystallinity decreases with the insertion and extraction of lithium. . Therefore, amorphous β-FeOOH is selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Mg, Al, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Pb, and Sn. Further, the cycle performance is improved by including at least one element. The reason for this is presumed that these elements play the role of columns in the crystal and have the effect of stabilizing the amorphous structure.
[0023]
In addition, the content of the element in β- FeOOH of the present invention needs to be 0.01 wt% or more. When the content is 0.12 wt% or more, the cycle performance is remarkably improved. However, the addition of the above elements in amorphous β-FeOOH does not change the effect of improving the cycle performance even when a certain amount or more is added. As the amount increases, the capacity decreases, so the amount of these elements added is preferably 0.12 wt% or more and as small as possible.
[0024]
To illustrate the method for producing amorphous β-FeOOH of the present invention, Li, Na, K, Mg, Al, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co are added to an aqueous solution in which ferric chloride is dissolved. It is obtained by adding a salt containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Pb, and Sn and hydrolyzing within a range of 40 ° C to 100 ° C. In addition, it is preferable to age, filter, wash and dry for 1 day or more after hydrolysis. This manufacturing method is extremely simple and very excellent as an industrialization process.
[0025]
Hydrates can also be used for the ferric chloride used in the method for producing a positive electrode active material of the present invention. Regarding a salt containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Mg, Al, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Pb, and Sn Is not particularly limited as long as it is water-soluble, but sulfate is particularly preferable. This is because the yield is remarkably improved when sulfate is used. When sulfates, chlorides, nitrates, and phosphates are used as the salts, S, Cl, N, and P are mixed in the products, respectively. With respect to the salt containing the above elements, hydrates can be used, and each of them can be used alone or as a mixture of two or more.
[0026]

Examples of the chemical method include a method in which the active material of the present invention is reacted with a reducing agent typified by n-BuLi or LiI.
[0027]

Examples of the substance capable of inserting and extracting lithium ions include graphite, amorphous carbon, oxide, nitride, and lithium alloy. As the nitride, a lithium-containing nitride typified by Li 2.6 Co 0.4 N can be used. As the lithium alloy, for example, lithium and aluminum, zinc, bismuth, cadmium, antimony, silicon, lead, An alloy with tin can be used.
