Definitions
- the present invention relates to a negative electrode for an electric device and an electric device using the same.
- the negative electrode for an electric device and the electric device using the same according to the present invention are used as, for example, a driving power source or an auxiliary power source for a motor of a vehicle such as an electric vehicle, a fuel cell vehicle, and a hybrid electric vehicle as a secondary battery or a capacitor. It is done.
- lithium ion secondary batteries As a secondary battery for driving a motor, it is required to have extremely high output characteristics and high energy as compared with a consumer lithium ion secondary battery used for a mobile phone, a notebook personal computer or the like.

- the Si alloy may not be uniformly arranged in the negative electrode active material layer. In such a case, the electric potential and capacity which each Si alloy expresses differ individually.

That is, the negative electrode active material according to the present embodiment has a large effect of improving the cycle characteristics as compared with the effect of reducing the initial capacity.
- the carbon-based material is unlikely to change in volume when reacting with Li ions as compared with the Si alloy. Therefore, even when the volume change of the Si alloy is large, when the negative electrode active material is taken as a whole, the influence of the volume change of the negative electrode active material associated with the Li reaction can be made relatively minor.
- Such an effect can be understood from the results of Examples in which the cycle characteristics increase as the content of the carbon-based material increases (the content of the Si alloy decreases) (Table 4 and FIG. 23). See).
- the amount of electricity consumed (Wh) can be improved by containing a carbon-based material. More specifically, the carbon-based material has a relatively low potential compared to the Si alloy.

上記組成式SixZnyAlzAaを有する合金中のAの質量%値である、式中のaの範囲は、0≦a<0.5であり、好ましくは0≦a<0.1である。Aは、上述のように、Si合金において、原料中に存在したり、製造工程において不可避的に混入するものであり、本来は不要なものであるが、微量であり、Si合金の特性に影響を及ぼさないため、合金中に含有されることが許容される。
上記SixZnyCzAaは、上述のように、第1添加元素であるZnと、第2添加元素であるCを選択したことによって、Li合金化の際に、アモルファス-結晶の相転移を抑制してサイクル寿命を向上させることができる。また、これによって、従来の負極活物質、例えば炭素系負極活物質よりも高容量のものとなる。
本形態に係る組成式SixZnyMzAa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。
本発明に用いられうる炭素系材料は、特に制限されないが、天然黒鉛、人造黒鉛等の高結晶性カーボンである黒鉛(グラファイト);ソフトカーボン、ハードカーボン等の低結晶性カーボン;ケッチェンブラック、アセチレンブラック、チャンネルブラック、ランプブラック、オイルファーネスブラック、サーマルブラック等のカーボンブラック;フラーレン、カーボンナノチューブ、カーボンナノファイバー、カーボンナノホーン、カーボンフィブリル等の炭素材料が挙げられる。これらのうち、黒鉛を用いることが好ましい。
負極活物質は、特に制限されず、公知の方法によって製造することができる。通常、負極活物質層は、上記合金の製造方法が用いられうる。具体的には、メカニカルアロイ法、アークプラズマ溶融法等を利用して、粒子形態のSi合金を製造した後、炭素系材料、バインダ、導電助剤、および粘液調整剤を加えてスラリーを調製し、該スラリーを用いてスラリー電極を形成することができる。この際、粒子形態のSi合金の量および炭素系材料の量を適宜変更することで、Si合金が所望の含有量となる負極活物質を製造することができる。
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。
活物質層に用いられるバインダとしては、特に限定されないが、例えば、以下の材料が挙げられる。ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリエーテルニトリル(PEN)、ポリアクリロニトリル、ポリイミド、ポリアミド、ポリアミドイミド、セルロース、カルボキシメチルセルロース(CMC)、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体、ポリ塩化ビニル、スチレン・ブタジエンゴム(SBR)、イソプレンゴム、ブタジエンゴム、エチレン・プロピレンゴム、エチレン・プロピレン・ジエン共重合体、スチレン・ブタジエン・スチレンブロック共重合体およびその水素添加物、スチレン・イソプレン・スチレンブロック共重合体およびその水素添加物などの熱可塑性高分子、ポリフッ化ビニリデン(PVdF)、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)、テトラフルオロエチレン・ヘキサフルオロプロピレン共重合体(FEP)、テトラフルオロエチレン・パーフルオロアルキルビニルエーテル共重合体(PFA)、エチレン・テトラフルオロエチレン共重合体(ETFE)、ポリクロロトリフルオロエチレン(PCTFE)、エチレン・クロロトリフルオロエチレン共重合体(ECTFE)、ポリフッ化ビニル(PVF)等のフッ素樹脂、ビニリデンフルオライド-ヘキサフルオロプロピレン系フッ素ゴム(VDF-HFP系フッ素ゴム)、ビニリデンフルオライド-ヘキサフルオロプロピレン-テトラフルオロエチレン系フッ素ゴム(VDF-HFP-TFE系フッ素ゴム)、ビニリデンフルオライド-ペンタフルオロプロピレン系フッ素ゴム(VDF-PFP系フッ素ゴム)、ビニリデンフルオライド-ペンタフルオロプロピレン-テトラフルオロエチレン系フッ素ゴム(VDF-PFP-TFE系フッ素ゴム)、ビニリデンフルオライド-パーフルオロメチルビニルエーテル-テトラフルオロエチレン系フッ素ゴム(VDF-PFMVE-TFE系フッ素ゴム)、ビニリデンフルオライド-クロロトリフルオロエチレン系フッ素ゴム(VDF-CTFE系フッ素ゴム)等のビニリデンフルオライド系フッ素ゴム、エポキシ樹脂等が挙げられる。中でも、ポリフッ化ビニリデン、ポリイミド、スチレン・ブタジエンゴム、カルボキシメチルセルロース、ポリプロピレン、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン、ポリアクリロニトリル、ポリアミド、ポリアミドイミドであることがより好ましく、ポリアミドがさらに好ましい。これらの好適なバインダは、耐熱性に優れ、さらに電位窓が非常に広く正極電位、負極電位双方に安定であり活物質層に使用が可能となる。また、ポリアミドのような相対的に結着力が強いバインダは、Si合金を炭素系材料に好適に保持することができる。これらのバインダは、1種単独で用いてもよいし、2種併用してもよい。
導電助剤とは、正極活物質層または負極活物質層の導電性を向上させるために配合される添加物をいう。導電助剤としては、アセチレンブラック等のカーボンブラック、グラファイト、気相成長炭素繊維などの炭素材料が挙げられる。活物質層が導電助剤を含むと、活物質層の内部における電子ネットワークが効果的に形成され、電池の出力特性の向上に寄与しうる。
電解質塩(リチウム塩)としては、Li(C2F5SO2)2N、LiPF6、LiBF4、LiClO4、LiAsF6、LiCF3SO3等が挙げられる。
イオン伝導性ポリマーとしては、例えば、ポリエチレンオキシド(PEO)系およびポリプロピレンオキシド(PPO)系のポリマーが挙げられる。
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。
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。
電池外部に電流を取り出す目的で、集電板を用いてもよい。集電板は集電体やリードに電気的に接続され、電池外装材であるラミネートシートの外部に取り出される。
電池外装材29としては、公知の金属缶ケースを用いることができるほか、発電要素を覆うことができる、アルミニウムを含むラミネートフィルムを用いた袋状のケースが用いられうる。該ラミネートフィルムには、例えば、PP、アルミニウム、ナイロンをこの順に積層してなる3層構造のラミネートフィルム等を用いることができるが、これらに何ら制限されるものではない。高出力化や冷却性能に優れ、EV、HEV用の大型機器用電池に好適に利用することができるという観点から、ラミネートフィルムが望ましい。
