[加熱工程]
Li2O、MO(MはFe、Mn、Co、およびNiからなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種)、およびP2O5を基準とする酸化物換算量(単位:モル%)で、溶融物の組成が表1に示す割合となるように、炭酸リチウム(Li2CO3)と、四酸化三鉄(Fe3O4)、二酸化マンガン(MnO2)、四酸化三コバルト(Co3O4)、または酸化ニッケル(NiO)と、リン酸二水素アンモニウム(NH4H2PO4)をそれぞれ秤量し、乾式で混合・粉砕して原料調合物を調製した。
次に、るつぼに設けられたノズルの下端部を電気炉で加熱しながら溶融物を滴下させ、毎分400回転で回転する直径約15cmのステンレス製双ローラを通すことによって、溶融物を1×105℃/秒の冷却速度で急速冷却してフレーク状の固化物を製造した。なお、双ローラと溶融物との接触部にはN2ガスを吹き付けた。得られたフレークの厚さを10個ずつ測定したところ、フレークの厚さは50~150μmであった。ここで、各固化物(フレーク)の一部を用いて、予め示差走査熱量計(DSC)でガラス転移温度および結晶化温度を求めた。
上記したフレーク状の固化物の30gを50mLの7.5質量%グルコース水溶液に加え、ジルコニア製ボールと遊星ミルとを用いて湿式で粉砕した。なお、実施例4で固化物の平均粒子径(グルコースを水洗、除去した後)をレーザ回折/散乱式粒度分布測定装置(堀場製作所社製、装置名:LA-950)で測定したところ、体積換算のメディアン径は0.82μmであった。
スラリー状の粉砕物を110℃で乾燥させた後、表1に示す加熱温度において、3体積%H2-Ar雰囲気中で8時間加熱することによって、オリビン型LiMPO4を含む結晶粒子を析出させた。
実施例4と同組成の原料調合物を用いて、実施例4と同様に溶融工程および冷却工程を実施した。次いで、得られた固化物の30gとアセチレンブラックの2.25gとを50mLの3.75質量%グルコース水溶液に加え、ジルコニア製ボールと遊星ミルとを用いて湿式で粉砕した。このスラリー状の粉砕物を110℃で乾燥させた後、実施例4と同様に加熱することによって、LiFePO4を含む結晶粒子を析出させた。
実施例4と同組成の原料調合物を用いて、実施例4と同様に溶融工程および冷却工程を実施した。次いで、得られた固化物の30gとカーボンブラックの0.75gと水溶性澱粉の3.38gとを50mLの蒸留水に加え、ジルコニア製ボールと遊星ミルとを用いて湿式で粉砕した。次いで、このスラリー状の粉砕物を撹拌しつつ90℃に加温し、澱粉を糊(α)化してゲル状の混合物を得た。
実施例4と同組成の原料調合物を用いて、実施例4と同様に溶融工程および冷却工程を実施した。次いで、得られた固化物の30gを50mLの10.1質量%スクロース水溶液に加え、ジルコニア製ボールと遊星ミルとを用いて湿式で粉砕した。このスラリー状の粉砕物を90℃に加温し、カラメル状の混合物を得た。この混合物を実施例4と同様に加熱することによって、LiFePO4を含む結晶粒子を析出させた。
Li2O、MO(MはFe、Mn、Co、およびNiからなる群より選ばれる2種以上)、およびP2O5を基準とする酸化物換算量(単位:モル%)で、溶融物の組成が表1に示す割合となるように、炭酸リチウム(Li2CO3)と、四酸化三鉄(Fe3O4)、二酸化マンガン(MnO2)、四酸化三コバルト(Co3O4)、および酸化ニッケル(NiO)からなる群より選ばれる2種以上と、リン酸二水素アンモニウム(NH4H2PO4)とを混合・粉砕した原料調合物を用いて、実施例1と同様に溶融工程および冷却工程を実施した。
溶融物の組成がLi2O、FeO、およびP2O5基準の酸化物換算量(単位:モル%)で、37.5%、25.0%、37.5%となるように、炭酸リチウム(Li2CO3)、四酸化三鉄(Fe3O4)、およびリン酸二水素アンモニウム(NH4H2PO4)をそれぞれ秤量し、乾式で混合・粉砕して原料調合物を調製した後、全工程を大気下で行う以外は実施例1と同様にして、溶融、冷却、粉砕、加熱(温度:540℃)の各工程を実施した。なお、溶融工程で還元剤(カーボンブラック)は配置していない。得られた粒子の鉱物相を、X線回折装置を用いて同定したところ、既存のLi3Fe2(PO4)3(PDF番号01-078-1106)の回折ピークと類似した回折パターンが得られた。溶融工程と加熱工程とを不活性条件下または還元条件下で実施しなかったため、LiMPO4を含む結晶粒子が得られなかった。
実施例4で得られた結晶粒子を活物質とし、これと結着剤としてポリフッ化ビニリデン樹脂と導電材としてアセチレンブラックとを、質量比で85:5:10の比率となるように秤量し、溶媒としてN-メチルピロリドンをよく混合してスラリーとした。次いで、このスラリーをバーコーターで厚さ30μmのアルミニウム箔に塗布した。大気中にて120℃で乾燥させた溶媒を除去した後、ロールプレスで塗工層を圧密化した後、幅10mm×長さ40mmの短冊状に切り出した。
まず、得られた半電池を25℃の恒温槽に入れ、定電流充放電試験機(北斗電工社製)に接続して充放電試験を行った。電流密度は電極活物質の質量(導電材と結着剤とを除いた質量)当たりの電流値を85mA/gとし、充放電を行った。充電終止電位はLi対極基準で4.2Vとし、終止電圧に到達後に即座に放電を開始した。放電終止電圧はLi対極基準で2.0Vとした。この充放電サイクルを10サイクル繰り返した。10サイクル目の放電容量は150mAh/gであった。
実施例21で得られた結晶粒子を活物質として用いる以外は、実施例30と同様にして電極および半電池を製造した。得られた半電池の充放電特性を実施例30と同様にして評価した。ただし、電流密度は17mA/gとした。10サイクル目の放電容量は130mAh/gであった。
実施例11で得られた結晶粒子を活物質とし、これと結着剤としてポリフッ化ビニリデン樹脂とを、質量比で95:5の比率となるように秤量し、溶媒としてN-メチルピロリドンをよく混合してスラリーとした。ここでは導電材としてのアセチレンブラックを混合していない。このようなスラリーを用いる以外は実施例30と同様にして電極および半電池を製造した。得られた半電池の充放電特性を実施例30と同様にして評価した。10サイクル目の放電容量は152mAh/gであった。
溶融物の組成がLi2O、FeO、およびP2O5基準の酸化物換算量(単位:モル%)で、24.8%、49.6%、49.6%(実施例4と同組成)となるように、炭酸リチウム(Li2CO3)、四酸化三鉄(Fe3O4)、およびリン酸二水素アンモニウム(NH4H2PO4)をそれぞれ秤量し、乾式で混合・粉砕して原料調合物を調製した。このような原料調合物を用いて、実施例1と同様に溶融、冷却、粉砕の各工程を実施し、さらに目開き106μmのふるいを通して粗大粒子を除去した。この粉砕物を実施例4で実施した加熱工程を施すことなく正極材料として用いて、実施例30と同様に電極および半電池を製造した。得られた半電池の充放電特性を実施例30と同様にして評価した。10サイクル目の放電容量は59mAh/gであった。加熱工程を経なかったため、特性が不十分であった。
比較例2で製造した粉砕物に、導電材として機能する有機化合物や炭素粉末を混合することなく加熱工程を施した。得られた結晶化物を正極材料として用いて、実施例30と同様に電極および半電池を製造した。得られた半電池の充放電特性を実施例30と同様にして評価した。10サイクル目の放電容量は97mAh/gであった。導電材として機能する有機化合物や炭素粉末を混合しなかったため、特性が不十分であった。
