The true specific gravity of lithium ion secondary battery cathode active material of the present invention is at 2.00 ~ 2.16g/cm 3scope.The calcined coke of the green coke charcoal or coal measures etc. of coal measures and/or petroleum (coal measures etc.) can be burnt till separately or mix and burnt till and obtain (in this manual by the lithium ion secondary battery cathode active material giving such true specific gravity, when being called " coal measures etc. ", refer to " coal measures and/or petroleum ", namely, can be coal measures, petroleum either party, also can be both mixed systems.)。If above-mentioned true specific gravity is less than 2.00g/cm 3, then, when being applied to lithium rechargeable battery, producing side reaction when discharge and recharge, causing the reduction of capacity, efficiency.In addition, if above-mentioned true specific gravity is more than 2.16g/cm 3, then, when being applied to battery, the characteristic of input-output characteristic, capacity dimension holdup reduces.Be explained, the green coke charcoals such as so-called coal measures, refer to petroleum and/or coal measures mink cell focus used the coked equipment such as such as delayed coking unit be up to Da Wendu be the temperature of 400 DEG C ~ about 700 DEG C under the material that obtains of carrying out pyrolysis polycondensation reaction 24 hours, the calcined cokes such as so-called coal measures, refer to the material green coke charcoals such as coal measures being implemented to calcination processing, refer to and be up to the coke of petroleum and/or the coal measures calcined under Da Wendu is 800 DEG C ~ about 1500 DEG C.
If describe in detail the method obtaining true specific gravity and give the lithium ion secondary battery cathode active material of above-mentioned scope, then to carry out pyrolytic polycondensation by the initial coked equipment such as such as delayed coking unit that the mink cell focuses such as coal measures are used under Da Wendu is the temperature of 400 DEG C ~ about 700 DEG C and react 24 hours and obtain the green coke charcoals such as coal measures being up to.Then, the block of the green coke charcoals such as the coal measures obtained is pulverized as required the size into regulation.Industrial used pulverizer can be used in pulverizing.Specifically, can enumerate: atomizer, thunder cover pulverizer, impeller mill, ball mill, shredding machine, jet mill, mixer (Ha イ Block リ ダ イ ザ ー), Orient mill (オ リ エ Application ト ミ Le) etc., but are not particularly limited to these.In addition, in the operation pulverized, the one kind or two or more of these devices can be used, also repeatedly can pulverize use with a kind of device.
The mink cell focuses such as coal measures used herein can be petroleum-derived heavy oil can be also coal measures mink cell focus, but coal measures mink cell focus is rich in fragrant attribute, and the impurity such as S, V, Fe are few, and volatile ingredient is also few, therefore, preferably use coal measures mink cell focus.
In addition, in order to manufacture the calcined cokes such as coal measures, be formed as the green coke charcoals such as the coal measures obtained as mentioned above to calcine to be up to Da Wendu 800 DEG C ~ 1500 DEG C under hypoxic atmosphere.Treatment temperature during calcining is preferably 1000 DEG C ~ 1500 DEG C, is more preferably the scope of 1200 DEG C ~ 1500 DEG C.The calcining of the green coke charcoals such as coal measures during manufacture calcined coke can use the equipment such as Rui Dehamu stove, shuttle-type stove, continuous tunnel furnace, rotary kiln, roller kilns or the microwaves that can carry out a large amount of process, but is not particularly limited to these.In addition, these calciners can be continous way or step any one.Then, the pulverizers such as the atomizer of industrial use are used by the block of the calcined cokes such as the coal measures obtained to be ground into the size of regulation in the same manner as the situation of green coke charcoal.In addition, the coke blacking after pulverizing cuts out micro mist by classification or utilizes sieve to wait removing meal, thus, and can the whole grain granularity that becomes to specify.
Green coke charcoal obtained above and calcined coke preferably can be carried out burning till process further.Firing temperature reaches thermometer can be set to more than 800 DEG C and less than 1500 DEG C to be up to.If firing temperature exceedes the upper limit, then excessively promote the crystal growth of coke material, be difficult to make true specific gravity be 2.16g/cm 3below.If true specific gravity is more than 2.16g/cm 3, then the crystal structure of coke orientation as graphite when burning till, crystal layer spacing narrows, and the characteristic that the structures such as input-output characteristic described above, capacity dimension holdup cause reduces.In addition, if firing temperature is lower than lower limit, then not only crystal structure is inflourishing, and true specific gravity is 2.00g/cm 3below, and the functional group's (OH base, COOH base etc.) being derived from raw material remains in coke surface, as mentioned above producing side reaction as during battery charging and discharging, causes capacity, efficiency to reduce.In addition, the retention time be up under Da Wendu of burning till process is not particularly limited, preferably more than 30 minutes.And then, about firing atmosphere, can be the inactive gas such as argon or nitrogen atmosphere.
In addition, burn till process and the green coke charcoals such as coal measures or calcined coke can be burnt till separately or mix and burn till, also can be set as burning till several times in this process to carry out.In addition, as long as meeting the scope of all conditions of active material of the present invention, then can as required containing shape controlling operations such as granulations or containing utilizing the modifying surface of organic and inorganic composition to active material or the operation of coating, and then, also can be set as at surface uniform or form metal ingredient dispersedly.
In addition, for the mensuration of the true specific gravity of negative electrode active material, Liquid displacement methods (another name bottle method) is utilized to measure.Specifically, in specific gravity bottle, put into powder (active material), add distilled water equal solvent liquid, by air and the solvent liquid of the method displacement sample surfaces such as vacuum degassing, obtain example weight and volume accurately, calculate true specific gravity value thus.
With regard to lithium ion secondary battery cathode active material of the present invention, need the D in the particle size distribution of this negative electrode active material 10be 2 ~ 5 μm, D 50be 8 ~ 12 μm, D 90be 16 ~ 26 μm, and D 50-D 10the scope of 5 ~ 10 μm.Preferred D 10be 2 ~ 4 μm, D 50be 8 ~ 12 μm, D 90be 18 ~ 24 μm, and D 50-D 10it is the scope of 6 ~ 10 μm.This refers to any one of the calcined cokes such as green coke charcoal, coal measures such as the coal measures as raw material to be burnt till separately or mix and to burn till and particle after the pulverizing of the material obtained has particle size distribution as above.In addition, the BET specific surface area of negative electrode active material is now made to be 5.1 ~ 9.0m 2/ g.The negative electrode active material of particle size distribution as above obtains by operation as follows: will according to circumstances carry out burning till the calcined cokes such as green coke charcoal, coal measures such as the coal measures of process separately or both mixedly utilized orient mill etc. to carry out coarse crushing, then, hammer-mill, jet mill etc. is utilized to carry out Crushing of Ultrafine, as required by removing micro mists such as air classifications.These breaking methods, stage division are not particularly limited, general method can be used.
For the particle size distribution of above-mentioned negative electrode active material, if D 10less than 2 μm, then specific area excessively increases and the initial efficiency of the secondary cell obtained is reduced.If D 90more than 26 μm, be then difficult to the electrode obtaining even and level and smooth surface texture when electrode fabrication because of the existence of coarse powder.If D 50-D l0lower than 5 μm, then the having sharp grain size distribution of particle, the ratio of the micro mist that particle diameter is little becomes large, and when electrode fabrication, particle is difficult to form the closeest interstitital texture, result, and electrode density reduces.In addition, if D 50-D 10more than 10 μm, then there is D in result 90the possibility of the oversize grain such more than 26 μm uprises.The oversize grain such more than 26 μm makes the flatness of electrode surface reduce, likely cause reduce with the adaptation of collector body, the damage of distance piece side, the harmful effect such as the shed powder of oversize grain.In addition, if D 10be greater than 5 μm, then D 10be that the ratio of the micro mist of less than 2 μm diminishes, particle is difficult to form the closeest interstitital texture.From such reason, need above-mentioned particle size distribution in the present invention.In addition, D 50-D l0represent the width (Wide Ga り) of the distribution shape in the particle size distribution of active material particle.Find by not using the D as central value in the past 50the width of designated size distribution and have the width of the distribution shown in the present invention, can make the electrode of fillibility excellence.In addition, any one of the calcined coke powdered carbons such as green coke powdered carbon, the coal measures such as above-mentioned coal measures can be used alone and obtain by raw material and the coke blacking with the negative electrode active material of above-mentioned particle size distribution, or also can by used in combination both it and obtain.
At this, for the particle size distribution of negative electrode active material (material with carbon element), in the present invention, use LMS-30 (society of seishin enterprise system) device, decentralized medium uses water+activating agent to measure.As the benchmark that there is ratio of particle, use laser diffraction and scattering method to measure volume distributed median, use and utilize the cumulative distribution of volume reference to carry out particle size distribution evaluation.That is, the particle size distribution of negative electrode active material utilizes laser diffraction and scattering method to measure, and the accumulation 10 volume % particle diameter in this particle size distribution is set to D 10.Equally, accumulation 50 volume % particle diameter is set to D 50, accumulation 90 volume % particle diameter is set to D 90.In addition, by D 50with D 10difference be set to D 50-D 10.
Negative electrode active material in the present invention is being pulverized and is becoming flat, lepidiod shape in the process of Control granularity distribution.As the shape of negative electrode active material, if observe the electrode sections made, then with regard to more than 80% of observed active material particle number, being equivalent to oval length ratio (be equivalent to oval minor axis length/be equivalent to oval long axis length) is 0.05 ~ 0.70.When being equivalent to oval length ratio more than 0.70, negative electrode active material becomes closer to spherical shape, even if the mode of fine and closely woven filling under identical particle size distribution, tap density also can change, electrode density, battery performance change.In addition, be equivalent to oval length than lower than 0.05 time, negative electrode active material becomes the shape closer to needle-like, and the mode of similarly not only filling, tap density change, and the surface area of negative electrode active material becomes excessive, produce the phenomenon that side reaction etc. reduces battery performance.Therefore, in the present invention, use from have on the current collector mix with adhesive and the cross-section of the electrode (negative pole) of composite layer that formed time negative electrode active material shape, more than 80% of observed negative electrode active material population counts 0.05 ~ 0.70 such negative electrode active material to be equivalent to oval length ratio (being equivalent to the long axis length of the minor axis length of ellipse/be equivalent to ellipse).
As the observational technique of above-mentioned electrode sections, the thickness making composite layer is the electrode of more than 50 μm, utilize the methods such as mechanical milling method, ultrathin sectioning, CP (Cross-section Polisher) method, focused ion beam (FIB) method to make electrode sections, utilize the methods such as SEM to observe the grain size of whole minimum grain size size more than 1 μm.Oval length ratio (be equivalent to oval minor axis length/be equivalent to oval long axis length) is equivalent to the particle measurement observed.Owing to observing the skewness etc. that there is particle in cross section, therefore, more than preferred view 20 visual field.For the mensuration of particle size, image analysis software (WinRooF: three paddy business Co., Ltd. systems) etc. can be used to analyze.
Lithium ion secondary battery cathode active material of the present invention is in order to improve initial stage density during electrode fabrication, and its tap density is more than 0.4g/cc, is preferably set to the scope of 0.4 ~ 0.8g/cc.If tap density is less than 0.4g/cc, the contact each other of negative electrode active material then during electrode fabrication becomes insufficient, and guiding path reduces, therefore, battery performance reduces, in addition, if raising density and increase pressing pressure, then it is large to be out of shape quantitative change, therefore, negative electrode active material ftractures, and because the increase of surface area, the adaptation reduction of electrode cause guiding path to reduce further, causes battery performance to reduce.Therefore, in order to improve the packed density before compacting, needing using tap density as index and making it be at least 0.4g/cc.In addition, in order to make it more than 0.8g/cc, such as, need to increase D 10lower than ratio or the increase D of the micro mist of 1 μm 90near the ratio of oversize grain, its result, the surface area of negative electrode active material becomes large or makes the uniformity of electrode, performance disorderly because of the impact of oversize grain, causes battery performance to reduce.Therefore, do not need to make tap density more than 0.8g/cc.
In the present invention, for the tap density of negative electrode active material, use the device of Tap DenserKYT-400 (society of Seishin enterprise system), use with the measured value of barrel volume 100cc, jolt ramming distance 38mm, number of taps 300 times.
The BET specific surface area of lithium ion secondary battery cathode active material of the present invention is 5.1 ~ 9.0m 2/ g.The shape during pulverizing of this BET specific surface area caused by the crystal state because of material with carbon element and the particle size distribution after pulverizing and determine.If BET specific surface area is less than 5.1m 2/ g, then the charge/discharge rates of lithium ion is slack-off, therefore undesirable, if be greater than 9.0m 2/ g, then tap density does not rise, and electrode density does not rise, therefore not preferred.BET specific surface area affects the speed of surface reaction during lithium ion turnover carbon structure, therefore, importantly controls as suitable value.
In the present invention, BET specific surface area utilizes nitrogen adsorption flow through methods to try to achieve, and uses BELSORP-miniII (Nippon-Bel Inc.) device.
The present invention is also for employing the lithium ion secondary battery negative pole of above-mentioned lithium ion secondary battery cathode active material, and negative pole comprises on the current collector (being generally Copper Foil) mixes the composite layer that above-mentioned lithium ion secondary battery cathode active material and adhesive formed.
In adhesive, the fluorine resin powder such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or polyimides (PI) usually can be used to be the water-soluble binders such as resin, styrene butadiene ribber (SBR), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).
