Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電極合剤を含むペーストの塗工を行わずに均一な厚さの二次電池用電極を製造する方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の電池用電極の製造法においては、電極活物質および結着剤からなる電極合剤を分散媒と混合したペーストを、電極芯材に塗工し、その塗膜を乾燥して塗膜中の分散媒を飛散させ、乾燥後の塗膜をプレスすることにより、電極活物質層が形成されている。
【0003】
しかし、上記のような方法では、塗膜を乾燥して分散媒を飛散させる際に、塗膜が収縮するため、電極活物質層に微細なクラックが生じたり、プレス時に内部応力が発生したりするという問題がある。また、塗膜の収縮が大きいため、電極活物質層の厚さの変動も大きく、均一な厚さの電極を得ることは困難である。さらに、分散媒の飛散を管理する必要があるため、電極の製造コストが高くなるという問題もある。
【0004】
そこで、溶融状態の結着剤と電極活物質を含むペーストをスプレードライ法により粉体化して、芯材に粉体を直接吹き付ける電極活物質層の製造法が提案されている(特許文献1参照)。しかし、この方法では、電極活物質層に微細なクラックが生じたり、プレス時に内部応力が発生したりするという問題は改善されるものの、均一な厚さの電極活物質層を得ることは困難である。電極活物質層の厚さが不均一になると、電極の部位によって放電深度がばらつくため、電池特性が劣化しやすい。しかも、芯材に粉体を直接吹き付ける際に、ペースト中の分散媒が飛散するため、飛散した分散媒の回収等にコストがかかるという問題を払拭することができない。従来のスプレードライ法には、良好なペーストの噴霧状態を得るためには、溶融状態の結着剤を多量にペーストに含める必要があるという問題もあり、高容量な電極を得ることが困難であり、電池の高率放電も困難である。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記を鑑みたものであり、分散媒の飛散による問題等を改善するとともに、均一な厚さの電極を効率良く得ることを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
すなわち、本発明は、電極芯材および前記電極芯材に担持された電極活物質層からなる二次電池用電極の製造法であって、

ただし、均一な厚さとは、粉体合剤層もしくは合剤シートの部位によって厚さに大きな差がないことを意味し、多少の厚さのばらつきがある場合にも、一見して均一であればよい。粒子状電極合剤は、ほぼ球状であればよく、例えば鶏卵状でもよい。前記粒子状電極合剤には、さらに潤滑剤を含ませることが好ましい。
【0008】

【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1を参照しながら本発明について説明する。
本発明においては、少なくとも電極活物質および結着剤を含む球状もしくはほぼ球状の粒子状電極合剤を調製する。球状もしくはほぼ球状の粒子状電極合剤は、流動性が高いため、加圧治具に導入する際に全体が均一に流動することから、厚さの均一な粉体合剤層が得られる。粒子状電極合剤の平均粒径は10〜800μmであることが好ましい。平均粒径が大きすぎると、均一な厚さの電極活物質層を得ることが困難になり、小さすぎると、粒子状電極合剤の流動性が低くなる。
【0014】
球状もしくはほぼ球状の粒子状電極合剤の調製法には特に限定はないが、例えば、スプレードライ法により、粒子状電極合剤を調製することができる。ここで、スプレードライ法は、流動性を有する混合物を造粒するとともに、高速で乾燥する工程からなる。スプレードライ法を採用する場合には、少なくとも電極活物質、結着剤および分散媒を含むスラリーを調製する。スラリーを、図1(a)に示すように、所定の条件で、噴霧ノズル101から高温(例えば100〜120℃)の気体とともに噴霧することにより、所望の粒子状電極合剤102を得ることができる。粒子状電極合剤102は、一旦、受け皿103などの容器に回収する。
【0015】
上述のスプレードライ法の他に、図2に示すような造粒装置を用いて、少なくとも電極活物質を含む粉体を、乾燥雰囲気中に流動させ、流動している粉体に、少なくとも結着剤を含む液を噴霧し、乾燥させながら造粒することによっても粒子状電極合剤を調製することができる。
【0016】
図2の装置の容器1は、下部の円筒状容器、上部の径が大きくなるようにテーパーを付された筒部、および上部の円筒状容器が相互に連結されて構成されている。容器1の下部には、ヒータ付きのガス導入管4が設けてあり、ここから容器内を乾燥雰囲気とするために一定温度に制御された窒素ガスが導入される。容器1の下部には、塵埃の進入を阻止する金属フィルタ5が設けてある。金属フィルタ5の上方には、多数の通気孔を有する造粒プレート6、および造粒プレート上に固定された、中央に衝突ターゲット8を有する攪拌羽根7が回転可能に設けてある。これらの上方の容器壁面には、衝突ターゲット8に向けて圧縮ガスを噴射する一対の圧縮ガス噴射ノズル9が設けられている。容器1の中程には、高圧スプレー3が設けてある。高圧スプレー3は、容器2内の溶液ないし分散液を容器内へ噴霧する。容器1の上方には、バグフィルタ10が設けられている。バグフィルタ10内にはポンプ11から供給される圧縮ガスを噴出させるためのパイプ12が挿入されている。適宜ポンプ11からパイプ12を通じてバグフィルタ10内へ圧縮ガスを噴射することにより、バグフィルタの外面に付着した粉末などを払い落とす。容器の上部にはガス排出管13を有する。
【0017】
この装置により粒子状電極合剤を製造するには、まず、容器1内の造粒プレート6上に予め電極活物質を入れ、高圧スプレー3から結着剤を含む液を噴霧する。容器1内の電極活物質は、ガス導入管4から供給される一定温度の窒素ガスにより容器の上方へ吹き上げられる。ガス導入管4から導入された窒素ガスは、ガス流れ方向を示した矢印a、bにしたがって、金属フィルタ5および造粒プレート6から容器内上方へ吹き上がる。造粒プレート6は、流動風量が外周に向かって大きくなるように開孔した通気スリットを有している。この造粒プレート6を通過したガスによる流動風により、容器1に投入された電極活物質は容器の上方へ流動し、そこで結着剤を含む液が付着され、乾燥される。
【0018】
結着剤が付着されて造粒プレート6の上部に沈降してきた粒子は、回転する造粒プレート6上で造粒される。攪拌羽根7は、高速で回転して、そこに沈降してくる粒子を粉砕する。また、圧縮ガス噴射ノズル9から衝突ターゲット8に向けて間欠的に噴射されるパルスジェットは、流動状態の粒子をジェット粉砕により低次構造の粒子に粉砕する。系内に導入された窒素ガスは、容器内上方に配置されたバグフィルタ10によって、粒子をフィルトレーションし、窒素ガスのみを排出管13より系外に排出する。
【0019】
粒子状電極合剤は、図1(b)に示すように、厚さの均一な粉体合剤層104aもしくは合剤シート104bに形成する。例えば、粒子状電極合剤を電極芯材105の上に均一な厚さに配することにより、粉体合剤層104aを得ることができる。粒子状電極合剤を電極芯材105の上に載置してから電極芯材105を振動させる場合には、粉体合剤層の厚さを極めて均一にすることができる。電極芯材に付与する振動の振動数は、粒子状電極合剤の性状に合わせて適宜選択されるが、2〜1000Hzが好適である。
【0020】
加圧治具を用いて粒子状電極合剤をプレスもしくはホットプレスすることにより、合剤シート104bを得ることもできる。加圧治具の温度は60〜200℃であることが好ましい。加圧治具の温度が高ければ短時間で丈夫な合剤シート104bを得ることができるが、結着剤の融点に対してあまりに高温では、電極合剤が劣化する可能性がある。粒子状電極合剤を加圧治具に導入した後、加圧治具を振動させることにより、合剤シートの厚さを極めて均一にすることができる。加圧治具に付与する振動の振動数は、粒子状電極合剤の性状に合わせて適宜選択されるが、2〜1000Hzが好適である。
【0021】
上述のように、本発明では、一旦、球状もしくはほぼ球状の粒子状電極合剤を調製した後、別工程において粒子状電極合剤を粉体合剤層もしくは合剤シートに成形する。そのため均一な厚さの粉体合剤層もしくは合剤シートを得ることができ、それらから均一な厚さの電極活物質層を効率良く得ることができる。このような方法は、粒子状電極合剤を電極芯材に直接吹き付ける方法とは異なり、加圧治具内に粉体状電極合剤を均一に充填するための振動工程を含めることができる点でも有利である。
【0022】
粉体合剤層104aや合剤シート104bを電極芯材と一体化すれば、均一な厚さの極板106を得ることができる。例えば、加圧治具107a、107bを用いて粉体合剤層もしくは合剤シートを電極芯材とともにプレスもしくはホットプレスすることにより、これらを一体化することができる。この場合にも、加圧治具107a、107bの温度は60〜200℃であることが好ましい。また、得られた極板をさらに圧延することにより、厚さがより均一で電極活物質層108の密度の高い電極を得ることができる。
【0023】
合剤シートと電極芯材とを、それぞれ一方の端部から、所定長さ毎に、もしくは、連続的に、加圧治具に導入することにより、連続的に電極を作製することができる。また、電極芯材を、一方の端部から、所定長さ毎に加圧治具に導入し、逐次その上に粉体合剤層を形成して電極芯材と一体化することにより、連続的に電極を作製することができる。
【0024】
ロール状に巻き取られた幅広の帯状極板を作製してから、その極板を所定形状に切り出して所望の電極を得ることも可能であるが、予め電極の最終形状に芯材を切り出し、その後に電極活物質層を形成することもできる。電極活物質層を担持してから電極芯材を切断する場合には、バリの発生が問題になるが、予め芯材を切断しておく場合、本質的にバリの発生は問題にならない。従って、電池の信頼性は大きく向上する。
【0025】
結着剤には、ゴム微粒子を用いることが好ましい。ゴム微粒子は、電極活物質や導電剤の表面の多くを覆うことがないため、少量でも結着剤としての効果を発揮できるからである。ゴム微粒子は、従来から結着剤として用いられているポリフッ化ビニリデンのようなフッ素樹脂に比べ、電極活物質層の硬度を低くすることから、電池組立工程における極板の捲回時に、電極の破断・亀裂の発生が起こりにくく、極板の製造も容易となる。ゴム微粒子には、例えば、弾性率の高いコアとその表面の粘着性を有するグラフト樹脂部からなるものを用いることができる。ゴム微粒子の粒径は0.1〜0.5μmであることが好ましい。
【0026】
本発明は、電極合剤を含むペーストを電極芯材に塗工する工程を要さないため、ペーストの粘度を調整するために増粘剤を用いる必要がない。従って、増粘効果を有さないゴム微粒子を用いる場合であっても増粘剤と併用する必要はなく、高容量な電極を得ることができる。
【0027】
粒子状電極合剤の調製に用いるスラリー中には、潤滑効果を有する添加剤を加えることが好ましい。このような添加剤を含む粒子状電極合剤であれば、加圧治具内に極めて効率良く、かつ、極めて均一に充填することができ、厚さと合剤密度の均一な電極を得ることが可能である。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a secondary battery electrode having a uniform thickness without applying a paste containing an electrode mixture.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a conventional method of manufacturing a battery electrode, a paste obtained by mixing an electrode mixture comprising an electrode active material and a binder with a dispersion medium is applied to an electrode core material, and the coating film is dried to form a coating. Is dispersed, and the dried coating film is pressed to form an electrode active material layer.
[0003]
However, in the method described above, when the coating film is dried and the dispersion medium is scattered, the coating film shrinks, so that fine cracks are generated in the electrode active material layer, or internal stress is generated at the time of pressing. There is a problem of doing. Moreover, since the shrinkage of the coating film is large, the thickness of the electrode active material layer varies greatly, and it is difficult to obtain an electrode having a uniform thickness. Furthermore, since it is necessary to control the scattering of the dispersion medium, there is also a problem that the manufacturing cost of the electrode is increased.
[0004]
Therefore, a method for producing an electrode active material layer in which a paste containing a binder and an electrode active material in a molten state is powderized by a spray drying method and the powder is directly sprayed on a core material has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). ). However, in this method, although the problem that fine cracks are generated in the electrode active material layer or internal stress occurs during pressing is improved, it is difficult to obtain an electrode active material layer having a uniform thickness. is there. If the thickness of the electrode active material layer is not uniform, the depth of discharge varies depending on the location of the electrode, and the battery characteristics are likely to deteriorate. In addition, when the powder is directly sprayed on the core material, the dispersion medium in the paste is scattered, so that it is not possible to eliminate the problem that the cost of collecting the scattered dispersion medium is high. The conventional spray drying method has a problem that a large amount of a binder in a molten state must be included in the paste in order to obtain a good paste spray state, and it is difficult to obtain a high-capacity electrode. Therefore, it is difficult to discharge the battery at a high rate.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to improve a problem due to scattering of a dispersion medium and the like and efficiently obtain an electrode having a uniform thickness.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the present invention is a method for producing an electrode for a secondary battery comprising an electrode core material and an electrode active material layer supported on the electrode core material,

(C) a step of obtaining the electrode plate by integrating the powder mixture layer or the mixture sheet with an electrode core, and a method for producing an electrode for a secondary battery.
However, a uniform thickness means that there is no significant difference in thickness between the portions of the powder mixture layer or the mixture sheet, and even if there is some variation in the thickness, it may be uniform at first glance. Just fine. The particulate electrode mixture may be substantially spherical, and may be, for example, a chicken egg. It is preferable that the particulate electrode mixture further contains a lubricant.
[0008]
In the step (a), for example, a step of preparing a slurry containing at least an electrode active material, a binder and a dispersion medium, and powdering the slurry by a spray drying method, thereby forming the spherical or almost spherical A step of obtaining a particulate electrode mixture can be applied.
In the step (a), a step of flowing at least a powder containing an electrode active material in a dry atmosphere is performed, and a step of spraying a liquid containing at least a binder onto the flowing powder is performed. The step of obtaining the spherical or substantially spherical particulate electrode mixture by granulation can be applied.
[0009]
In the step (b), for example, a step of obtaining the powder mixture layer by disposing the particulate electrode mixture in a uniform thickness on an electrode core material can be applied. In this case, in the step of disposing the particulate electrode mixture on the electrode core in a uniform thickness, the particulate electrode mixture is placed on the electrode core, and then the electrode core is vibrated. Can be applied.
[0010]

[0012]
In the step (c), an uncoated portion of the electrode active material layer may be provided on the electrode core to leave an exposed portion of the electrode core. It is preferable to use a binder made of rubber fine particles as the binder. After the step (c), a step of rolling the electrode plate can be further performed.
[0013]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the present invention, a spherical or nearly spherical particulate electrode mixture containing at least an electrode active material and a binder is prepared. Since the spherical or almost spherical particulate electrode mixture has a high fluidity, it flows uniformly when introduced into the pressing jig, so that a powder mixture layer having a uniform thickness can be obtained. The average particle size of the particulate electrode mixture is preferably from 10 to 800 μm. If the average particle size is too large, it will be difficult to obtain an electrode active material layer having a uniform thickness, and if it is too small, the fluidity of the particulate electrode mixture will be low.
[0014]
The method for preparing the spherical or substantially spherical particulate electrode mixture is not particularly limited. For example, the particulate electrode mixture can be prepared by a spray drying method. Here, the spray drying method comprises a step of granulating a fluid mixture and drying at a high speed. When the spray drying method is adopted, a slurry containing at least an electrode active material, a binder and a dispersion medium is prepared. As shown in FIG. 1A, the desired particulate electrode mixture 102 can be obtained by spraying the slurry together with a high-temperature (for example, 100 to 120 ° C.) gas from a spray nozzle 101 under predetermined conditions. it can. The particulate electrode mixture 102 is once collected in a container such as a tray 103.
[0015]
In addition to the above-described spray-drying method, at least powder containing at least the electrode active material is caused to flow in a dry atmosphere using a granulation apparatus as shown in FIG. The particulate electrode mixture can also be prepared by spraying a liquid containing the agent and granulating while drying.
[0016]
The container 1 of the apparatus shown in FIG. 2 includes a lower cylindrical container, an upper cylindrical portion tapered so as to have a larger diameter, and an upper cylindrical container which are interconnected. A gas introduction pipe 4 with a heater is provided at a lower portion of the container 1, from which a nitrogen gas controlled at a constant temperature is introduced to make the inside of the container a dry atmosphere. A metal filter 5 for preventing dust from entering is provided at a lower portion of the container 1. Above the metal filter 5, a granulating plate 6 having a large number of ventilation holes and a stirring blade 7 fixed on the granulating plate and having a collision target 8 in the center are rotatably provided. A pair of compressed gas injection nozzles 9 for injecting compressed gas toward the collision target 8 are provided on the upper container wall. In the middle of the container 1, a high-pressure spray 3 is provided. The high-pressure spray 3 sprays the solution or dispersion in the container 2 into the container. A bag filter 10 is provided above the container 1. A pipe 12 for ejecting a compressed gas supplied from a pump 11 is inserted into the bag filter 10. By appropriately injecting compressed gas into the bag filter 10 from the pump 11 through the pipe 12, powder or the like attached to the outer surface of the bag filter is wiped off. The upper part of the container has a gas discharge pipe 13.
[0017]
In order to manufacture a particulate electrode mixture by this apparatus, first, an electrode active material is put in advance on a granulation plate 6 in a container 1 and a liquid containing a binder is sprayed from a high-pressure spray 3. The electrode active material in the container 1 is blown up by a nitrogen gas at a constant temperature supplied from a gas introduction pipe 4 to an upper portion of the container. The nitrogen gas introduced from the gas introduction pipe 4 blows upward from the metal filter 5 and the granulation plate 6 into the container in accordance with arrows a and b indicating the gas flow direction. The granulation plate 6 has a ventilation slit that is opened so that the amount of flowing air increases toward the outer periphery. Due to the flowing wind of the gas passing through the granulating plate 6, the electrode active material put into the container 1 flows upward of the container, where the liquid containing the binder is attached and dried.
[0018]
The particles that have settled on the upper part of the granulating plate 6 with the binder attached thereto are granulated on the rotating granulating plate 6. The stirring blade 7 rotates at a high speed to pulverize particles settling there. In addition, the pulse jet intermittently jetted from the compressed gas jet nozzle 9 toward the collision target 8 crushes particles in a flowing state into particles having a low-order structure by jet crushing. Nitrogen gas introduced into the system is filtered by a bag filter 10 disposed in the upper part of the container to filter particles, and only nitrogen gas is discharged from the discharge pipe 13 to the outside of the system.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 1B, the particulate electrode mixture is formed on a powder mixture layer 104a or a mixture sheet 104b having a uniform thickness. For example, the powder mixture layer 104a can be obtained by disposing the particulate electrode mixture on the electrode core material 105 at a uniform thickness. When the electrode core 105 is vibrated after the particulate electrode mixture is placed on the electrode core 105, the thickness of the powder mixture layer can be made extremely uniform. The frequency of the vibration applied to the electrode core material is appropriately selected according to the properties of the particulate electrode mixture, but is preferably 2 to 1000 Hz.
[0020]
By pressing or hot pressing the particulate electrode mixture using a pressing jig, the mixture sheet 104b can also be obtained. The temperature of the pressing jig is preferably 60 to 200 ° C. If the temperature of the pressing jig is high, a strong mixture sheet 104b can be obtained in a short time, but if the temperature is too high with respect to the melting point of the binder, the electrode mixture may deteriorate. After the particulate electrode mixture is introduced into the pressing jig, the thickness of the mixture sheet can be made extremely uniform by vibrating the pressing jig. The frequency of the vibration applied to the pressing jig is appropriately selected according to the properties of the particulate electrode mixture, but is preferably 2 to 1000 Hz.
[0021]
As described above, in the present invention, once a spherical or substantially spherical particulate electrode mixture is prepared, the particulate electrode mixture is formed into a powder mixture layer or a mixture sheet in another step. Therefore, a powder mixture layer or a mixture sheet having a uniform thickness can be obtained, and an electrode active material layer having a uniform thickness can be efficiently obtained therefrom. Such a method differs from a method in which the particulate electrode mixture is directly sprayed on the electrode core material, and can include a vibration step for uniformly filling the powdered electrode mixture in the pressing jig. But it is advantageous.
[0022]
If the powder mixture layer 104a and the mixture sheet 104b are integrated with the electrode core, the electrode plate 106 having a uniform thickness can be obtained. For example, these can be integrated by pressing or hot pressing the powder mixture layer or the mixture sheet together with the electrode core material using the pressing jigs 107a and 107b. Also in this case, the temperature of the pressing jigs 107a and 107b is preferably 60 to 200 ° C. Further, by further rolling the obtained electrode plate, an electrode having a more uniform thickness and a high density of the electrode active material layer 108 can be obtained.
[0023]
The electrodes can be manufactured continuously by introducing the mixture sheet and the electrode core material into the pressing jig at predetermined lengths or continuously from one end thereof, respectively. In addition, the electrode core material is introduced into the pressing jig at a predetermined length from one end, and a powder mixture layer is sequentially formed thereon to integrate the electrode core material with the electrode core material. An electrode can be produced in an appropriate manner.
[0024]
After producing a wide band-shaped electrode plate wound in a roll shape, it is possible to obtain a desired electrode by cutting the electrode plate into a predetermined shape, but it is also possible to cut out a core material in advance to the final shape of the electrode, Thereafter, an electrode active material layer can be formed. When the electrode core material is cut after supporting the electrode active material layer, generation of burrs is a problem. However, when the core material is cut in advance, generation of burrs is essentially not a problem. Therefore, the reliability of the battery is greatly improved.
[0025]
It is preferable to use fine rubber particles as the binder. This is because the rubber fine particles do not cover much of the surface of the electrode active material or the conductive agent, and therefore can exert the effect as a binder even in a small amount. The rubber fine particles reduce the hardness of the electrode active material layer as compared with a fluororesin such as polyvinylidene fluoride which has been conventionally used as a binder. Breakage and cracking hardly occur, and the manufacture of the electrode plate is also facilitated. As the rubber fine particles, for example, a rubber fine particle composed of a core having a high elastic modulus and a graft resin portion having a sticky surface can be used. The particle size of the rubber fine particles is preferably from 0.1 to 0.5 μm.
[0026]
Since the present invention does not require a step of applying a paste containing an electrode mixture to an electrode core material, it is not necessary to use a thickener to adjust the viscosity of the paste. Therefore, even when rubber fine particles having no thickening effect are used, it is not necessary to use the fine particles together with a thickener, and a high-capacity electrode can be obtained.
[0027]
It is preferable to add an additive having a lubricating effect to the slurry used for preparing the particulate electrode mixture. With a particulate electrode mixture containing such an additive, it is possible to very efficiently and extremely uniformly fill the pressure jig, and obtain an electrode having a uniform thickness and a uniform mixture density. It is possible.

Then, an emulsion of fine rubber particles (BM400B (trade name) manufactured by Zeon Corporation) was sprayed as a binder onto the flowing flaky graphite, and the fine particles of rubber were adhered by drying. The spray amount of the rubber fine particles was 2 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of flake graphite. The spray rate of the emulsion was 10 g / min. As a result, a spherical particulate negative electrode mixture having a particle diameter of 50 to 300 μm (average particle diameter of 200 μm) was obtained. A negative electrode was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the thus obtained particulate negative electrode mixture was used.
Using the positive electrode and the negative electrode thus obtained, a prismatic lithium ion secondary battery similar to that of Example 1 was assembled.
