図1は、本発明に係る電気デバイスの代表的な一実施形態である、扁平型(積層型)のリチウムイオン二次電池(以下、単に「積層型電池」ともいう)の全体構造を模式的に表した断面概略図である。
活物質層13または15は活物質を含み、必要に応じてその他の添加剤をさらに含む。
正極活物質層13は、正極活物質を含む。
正極活物質としては、例えば、リチウム-遷移金属複合酸化物、リチウム-遷移金属リン酸化合物、リチウム-遷移金属硫酸化合物、固溶体系、3元系、NiMn系、NiCo系、スピネルMn系などが挙げられる。リチウム-遷移金属複合酸化物としては、例えば、LiMn2O4、LiCoO2、LiNiO2、Li(Ni、Mn、Co)O2、Li(Li、Ni、Mn、Co)O2、LiFePO4及びこれらの遷移金属の一部が他の元素により置換されたもの等が挙げられる。固溶体系としては、LiMO2とLi2NO3との固溶体、xLiMO2・(1-x)Li2NO3、LiRO2-LiMn2O4等が挙げられる。ここで、xは0<x<1であり、Mは平均酸化状態が3+、Nは平均酸化状態が4+である1種類以上の金属元素であり、Rは、Ni、Mn、Co、Fe等の遷移金属元素である。3元系としては、ニッケル・コバルト・マンガン系(複合)正極材等が挙げられる。スピネルMn系としてはLiMn2O4等が挙げられる。NiMn系としては、LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4等が挙げられる。NiCo系としては、Li(NiCo)O2等が挙げられる。場合によっては、2種以上の正極活物質が併用されてもよい。好ましくは、容量、出力特性の観点から、リチウム-遷移金属複合酸化物、固溶体系が好ましく、より好ましくは固溶体系である。正極活物質として用いられる。なお、上記以外の正極活物質が用いられてもよいことは勿論である。活物質それぞれの固有の効果を発現する上で最適な粒径が異なる場合には、それぞれの固有の効果を発現する上で最適な粒径同士をブレンドして用いればよく、全ての活物質の粒径を必ずしも均一化させる必要はない。
負極活物質層15は、本実施形態の組成式SixCyAlzを有する合金を含む負極活物質を有するものである。本実施形態の負極活物質を用いることで、高容量・高サイクル耐久性・高初期充放電効率を有する良好なリチウムイオン二次電池用負極となる。また、本実施形態の負極活物質を用いてなるリチウムイオン二次電池用負極を用いることで、高容量でサイクル耐久性に優れる良好な電池特性を有するリチウムイオン二次電池となる。

である。本実施形態では、Li合金化の際、アモルファス-結晶の相転移を抑制しサイクル寿命を向上させる第1添加元素Cと、該第1添加元素濃度が増加しても電極としての容量が減少しない第2添加元素種Alを選定し、これら添加元素種と高容量元素Siを適切な組成比としてなるものである。ここでLi合金化の際、アモルファス-結晶の相転移を抑制するのは、Si材料ではSiとLiが合金化する際、アモルファス状態から結晶状態へ転移し大きな体積変化(約4倍)を起すため、粒子自体が壊れてしまい活物質としての機能が失われるためである。そのためアモルファス-結晶の相転移を抑制することで、粒子自体の崩壊を抑制し活物質としての機能(初期容量が高く高容量かつ高初期充放電効率)を保持することができ、サイクル寿命も向上させることができるものである。かかる第1及び第2添加元素の選定し、これら添加元素種と高容量元素Siを適切な組成比とすることにより、初期容量が高く高容量で、初期充放電効率も高く、更にサイクル耐久性も高くバランスよい特性を有するSi合金負極活物質を提供できる。具体的にはSi-C-Al合金の組成比が図5の太い実線で囲われた範囲内(三角形の内側)の場合には、既存のカーボン系負極活物質では実現不可能な格段に高い高容量化を実現できる。同様に既存のSn系合金負極活物質と比較してもより初期容量が高く(初期容量1113mAh/g以上)高容量化でき、かつ高い初期充放電効率(94%以上)を実現できる。更に高容量化とトレードオフの関係にあるサイクル耐久性についても、高容量であるがサイクル耐久性の悪いSn系負極活物質や特許文献1に記載の多元系合金負極活物質と比較した場合に優れたサイクル耐久性を実現できる優れたSi合金負極活物質を提供できる。

である。本実施形態では、第1添加元素であるCと第2添加元素のAl、更に高容量元素Siの組成比が上記に規定する適切な範囲である場合に、特に良好な特性を有するSi合金負極活物質を提供できる。具体的にはSi-C-Al合金の組成比が図8の太い実線で囲われた範囲内(小さい六角形の内側)の場合にも、既存のカーボン系負極活物質では実現不可能な格段に高い高容量化を実現できる。同様に既存のSn系合金負極活物質と比較してもより初期容量が高く(初期容量1133mAh/g以上)高容量化でき、かつ高い初期充放電効率(94%以上)を実現できる。更に高容量化とトレードオフの関係にあるサイクル耐久性についても、高容量であるがサイクル耐久性の悪いSn系負極活物質や特許文献1に記載の多元系合金負極活物質と比較した場合には格段に優れた高サイクル耐久性を実現できる。具体的には、50サイクル目でのより高い放電容量維持率74%以上を実現できる。即ち、この場合には、実施例1のサンプル1~18のうち、初期容量が高く高容量化でき、初期充放電効率が高く、より一層高いサイクル耐久性を非常にバランスよく実現できた組成範囲を選択した(図8の太い実線で囲われた小さな六角形とした)ものである。これにより、より高性能なSi合金負極活物質を提供できる(表1及び図3、4、8参照のこと)。

である。本実施形態では、第1添加元素であるCと第2添加元素のAl、更に高容量元素Siの組成比が上記に規定する適切な範囲である場合に、最も良好な特性を有するSi合金負極活物質を提供できる。具体的にはSi-C-Al合金の組成比が図9の太い実線で囲われた範囲内(最も小さい六角形の内側)の場合には、既存のカーボン系負極活物質では実現不可能な格段に高い高容量化を実現できる。同様に既存のSn系合金負極活物質と比較してもより初期容量が高く(初期容量1192mAh/g以上)高容量化でき、かつ高い初期充放電効率(97%以上)を実現できる。更に高容量化とトレードオフの関係にあるサイクル耐久性についても、高容量であるがサイクル耐久性の悪いSn系負極活物質や特許文献1に記載の多元系合金負極活物質と比較した場合には格段に優れた高サイクル耐久性を実現できる。具体的には、50サイクル目でのより一層高い放電容量維持率81%以上を実現できる。即ち、この場合には、実施例1のサンプル1~18のうち、より初期容量が高く高容量化でき、初期充放電効率が高く、より一層高いサイクル耐久性を最もバランスよく実現できた組成範囲(ベストモード)のみを選択した(=図9の太い実線で囲われた最も小さな六角形とした)ものである。これにより、極めて高性能なSi合金負極活物質を提供できる(表1及び図3、4、9参照のこと)。一方、組成式SixCyAlzで表される3元系合金でのSiへの添加金属元素のいずれか一方を含まない2元系合金(y=0のSi-Al合金やz=0のSi-Zn系合金)やSi単体ではでは、高い初期充放電効率と、高いサイクル特性の実現が困難である。そのため、初期充放電効率が十分でなく、サイクル特性が低下(劣化)するため、上記したような、より初期容量が高く高容量化でき、初期充放電効率が高く、より一層高いサイクル耐久性を最もバランスよく実現することはできていない。
上記組成式SixCyAlzを有する合金の合計の質量%値として、x+y+z=100である(ここで、x、y、及びzは質量%値を表す)。即ち、Si-C-Al系の3元系の合金からなるものでなければならない。言い換えれば、2元系の合金、他の組成の3元系の合金、或いは別の金属を添加した4元系以上の合金は含まれないものと言える。但し、製造上、不可避的に混入する極微量な不純物の金属元素等(本実施形態の作用効果に影響しない程度の極微量の金属元素等)については、含まれていてもよい。なお、本実施形態の負極活物質層15には、少なくとも1種の組成式SixCyAlzを有する合金が含まれていればよく、2種以上の組成の異なる当該合金を併用して用いてもよい。
上記組成式SixCyAlzを有する合金中のSiの質量%値であるxの範囲としては、36≦x<100であり、好ましくは36≦x≦80であり、より好ましくは41≦x≦71であり、特に好ましくは43≦x≦61である。これは、合金中の高容量元素Siの質量%値(x値)の数値が高いほど高容量化でき、36≦x<100の範囲であれば、既存のカーボン系負極活物質では実現不可能な格段に高い高容量を実現できるためである。同様に、Sn系負極活物質と比較してもより高い高容量の合金を得ることができるためである(図5参照)。さらに36≦x<100の範囲であれば、50サイクル目の放電容量維持率(サイクル耐久性)にも優れるためである。
上記組成式SixCyAlzを有する合金中のCの質量%値であるyの範囲としては、0<y<64であり、好ましくは3≦y≦37であり、より好ましくは3≦y≦29である。これは、合金中の第1添加元素Cの質量%値(y値)の数値が0<y<64の範囲であれば、Cの持つ特性(更にAlとの相乗特性により、高容量Si材料のアモルファス-結晶の相転移を効果的に抑制することができる。その結果、サイクル寿命(サイクル耐久性)、特に50サイクル目での高い放電容量維持率(64%以上、特に74%以上、中でも81%以上)に優れた効果を発現することができる(図7~9参照)。また、初期充放電効率(94%以上、特に97%以上)に優れた効果を発現することができる(表1参照)。また、高容量Si材料の含有量x値の数値を一定以上(36≦x<100)に保持し得ることができ、既存のカーボン系負極活物質では実現不可能な格段に高い高容量化を実現できる。同様に既存のSn系合金負極活物質と比較してもより高い高容量(初期容量1113mAh/g以上、特に1133mAh/g以上、中でも1192mAh/g以上)の合金を得ることができる(表1及び図5~8参照)。
上記組成式SixCyAlzを有する合金中のAlの質量%値であるzの範囲としては、0<z<64であり、好ましくは10≦z≦56であり、より好ましくは15≦z≦56であり、特に好ましくは20≦z≦54である。これは、合金中の第1添加元素濃度が増加しても電極としての容量が減少しない第2添加元素種Alの質量%値(z値)の数値が0<z<64の範囲であれば、Cの持つ特性とAlとの相乗特性により、高容量Si材料のアモルファス-結晶の相転移を効果的に抑制することができる。その結果、初期容量が高く高容量化でき、初期充放電効率が高く、サイクル寿命(サイクル耐久性)に優れた効果を発現することができる。具体的には、高い初期容量1113mAh/g以上、特に1133mAh/g以上、中でも1192mAh/g以上で、高い初期充放電効率94%以上、特に97%以上の優れた効果を発現することができる。更に50サイクル目での高い放電容量維持率64%以上、特に74%以上、中でも81%以上の優れた効果も発現することができる(表1、図7~9参照)。また、高容量Si材料の含有量x値の数値を一定以上(36≦x<100)に保持し得ることができ、既存のカーボン系負極活物質では実現不可能な格段に高い高容量化を実現できる。同様に既存のSn系合金負極活物質と比較してもより高い高容量の合金を得ることができる。
上記組成式SixCyAlzを有する合金の製造方法としては、特に制限されるものではなく、従来公知の各種の製造を利用して製造することができる。即ち、作製方法による合金状態・特性の違いはほとんどないので、ありとあらゆる作製方法が適用できる。
なお、上記(5)(ii)の粒子の形態の合金を用いる場合、該合金の平均粒子径は、既存の負極活物質層15に含まれる負極活物質の平均粒子径と同程度であればよく、特に制限されない。高出力化の観点からは、好ましくは1~20μmの範囲であればよい。ただし、上記範囲に何ら制限されるものではなく、本実施形態の作用効果を有効に発現できるものであれば、上記範囲を外れていてもよいことは言うまでもない。
以下に、正極及び負極活物質層13、15に共通する要件につき、説明する。
集電体11、12は導電性材料から構成される。集電体の大きさは、電池の使用用途に応じて決定される。例えば、高エネルギー密度が要求される大型の電池に用いられるのであれば、面積の大きな集電体が用いられる。集電体の厚さについても特に制限はない。集電体の厚さは、通常は1~100μm程度である。集電体の形状についても特に制限されない。図1に示す積層型電池10では、集電箔のほか、網目形状(エキスパンドグリッド等)等を用いることができる。なお、負極活物質をスパッタ法等により薄膜合金を負極集電体12上に直接形成する場合には、集電箔を用いるのが望ましい。
電解質層17を構成する電解質としては、液体電解質またはポリマー電解質が用いられうる。
