Description

本発明は、負極集電体に構成元素としてケイ素(Si)を含む負極活物質層が設けられた二次電池用負極、およびそれを備えた二次電池に関する。   The present invention relates to a negative electrode for a secondary battery in which a negative electrode current collector is provided with a negative electrode active material layer containing silicon (Si) as a constituent element, and a secondary battery including the same.

近年、モバイル機器の高性能化および多機能化に伴い、それらの電源である二次電池の高容量化が要求されている。この要求に応える二次電池としてはリチウムイオン二次電池があるが、現在実用化されているものは負極に黒鉛を用いているので、電池容量は飽和状態にあり、大幅な高容量化は難しい。そこで、負極にケイ素などを用いることが検討されており、最近では、気相法などにより負極集電体に負極活物質層を形成することも報告されている。ケイ素などは充放電に伴う膨張収縮が大きいので、微粉化によるサイクル特性の低下が問題であったが、気相法などによれば、微細化を抑制することができると共に、負極集電体と負極活物質層とを一体化することができるので負極における電子伝導性が極めて良好となり、容量的にもサイクル寿命的にも高性能化が期待されている。   In recent years, as mobile devices have higher performance and more functions, there is a demand for higher capacities of secondary batteries serving as power sources thereof. Secondary batteries that meet this requirement include lithium ion secondary batteries, but those currently in practical use use graphite for the negative electrode, so the battery capacity is saturated and it is difficult to achieve significant increases in capacity. . Therefore, it has been studied to use silicon or the like for the negative electrode, and recently, it has been reported that a negative electrode active material layer is formed on the negative electrode current collector by a vapor phase method or the like. Since silicon and the like have a large expansion / contraction due to charging / discharging, deterioration of cycle characteristics due to pulverization has been a problem. However, according to a vapor phase method or the like, miniaturization can be suppressed and a negative electrode current collector and Since the negative electrode active material layer can be integrated, the electron conductivity in the negative electrode becomes extremely good, and high performance is expected in terms of capacity and cycle life.

しかし、このように負極集電体と負極活物質層とを一体化した負極においても、充放電を繰り返すと、負極活物質層の激しい膨張および収縮により負極集電体と負極活物質層との間に応力がかかり、負極活物質層の脱落などが生じてサイクル特性が低下するなど問題があった。そこで、負極集電体を粗化することにより、負極集電体との密着性を向上させることが検討されている(例えば、特許文献1,2参照)。これらの公知例には、凹凸を有する電解銅箔に、電解めっきにより突起部を形成した負極集電体が記載されている。   However, even in the negative electrode in which the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material layer are integrated as described above, when the charge and discharge are repeated, the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material layer are separated by vigorous expansion and contraction of the negative electrode active material layer. There was a problem in that stress was applied in the meantime, the negative electrode active material layer was dropped, and the cycle characteristics deteriorated. Then, improving the adhesiveness with a negative electrode collector by roughening a negative electrode collector is examined (for example, refer patent documents 1, 2). These known examples describe a negative electrode current collector in which protrusions are formed by electrolytic plating on an uneven copper foil.

しかしながら、このように凹凸を有する電解銅箔は、一般に、厚み方向に柱状結晶が配向した構造となっており、凹部に粒界が存在する場合が多いので、充放電に伴い負極活物質層が膨張収縮すると、この凹部の粒界に沿って負極が破断してしまうことが多いという問題があった。また、電解銅箔の表面粗さは、柱状結晶の粒径に応じたものとなるので、電解銅箔の厚みが大きく影響し、厚みに関係なく表面粗さを変化させることが難しいという問題もあった。更に、このような電解銅箔では表面粗さが目的とする値よりも大きくなってしまうことが多く、しかも、両面の表面粗さを同じ程度に調節することが難しかった。   However, the electrolytic copper foil having such irregularities generally has a structure in which columnar crystals are oriented in the thickness direction, and there are many cases where grain boundaries exist in the concave portions. When expanding and contracting, the negative electrode often breaks along the grain boundary of the recess. In addition, since the surface roughness of the electrolytic copper foil depends on the grain size of the columnar crystals, the thickness of the electrolytic copper foil has a great influence, and it is difficult to change the surface roughness regardless of the thickness. there were. Furthermore, in such an electrolytic copper foil, the surface roughness often becomes larger than the target value, and it is difficult to adjust the surface roughness on both sides to the same extent.

本発明はかかる問題点に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、負極集電体の破断および負極活物質層の剥離などを抑制し、サイクル特性などの電池特性を向上させることができる二次電池用負極および二次電池を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and its purpose is to suppress secondary electrode current collector breakage and negative electrode active material layer peeling, and to improve secondary battery characteristics such as cycle characteristics. The object is to provide a negative electrode for a battery and a secondary battery.

本発明による二次電池用負極は、負極集電体に構成元素としてケイ素を含む負極活物質層が設けられたものであって、負極集電体は、基材と、この基材に設けられた突起部とを有し、負極活物質層が設けられた面の基材の十点平均粗さRz1は2.0μm以下であり、負極活物質層が設けられた面の負極集電体の十点平均粗さRz2から基材の十点平均粗さRz1を引いた差Rz2−Rz1は、0.2μm以上5.1μm以下であり、基材の厚みは15μm以上18μm以下のものである。   A negative electrode for a secondary battery according to the present invention includes a negative electrode current collector provided with a negative electrode active material layer containing silicon as a constituent element. The negative electrode current collector is provided on a base material and the base material. The ten-point average roughness Rz1 of the base material on the surface provided with the negative electrode active material layer is 2.0 μm or less, and the negative electrode current collector on the surface provided with the negative electrode active material layer. The difference Rz2−Rz1 obtained by subtracting the ten-point average roughness Rz1 of the base material from the ten-point average roughness Rz2 is 0.2 μm or more and 5.1 μm or less, and the thickness of the base material is 15 μm or more and 18 μm or less.

本発明による二次電池は、正極および負極と共に電解質を備えたものであって、負極は、負極集電体に構成元素としてケイ素を含む負極活物質層が設けられており、負極集電体は、基材と、この基材に設けられた突起部とを有し、負極活物質層が設けられた面の基材の十点平均粗さRz1は2.0μm以下であり、負極活物質層が設けられた面の負極集電体の十点平均粗さRz2から基材の十点平均粗さRz1を引いた差Rz2−Rz1は、0.2μm以上5.1μm以下であり、基材の厚みは15μm以上18μm以下のものである。   A secondary battery according to the present invention is provided with an electrolyte together with a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The negative electrode is provided with a negative electrode active material layer containing silicon as a constituent element in the negative electrode current collector. The ten-point average roughness Rz1 of the base material on the surface having the base material and the protrusions provided on the base material and provided with the negative electrode active material layer is 2.0 μm or less, and the negative electrode active material layer The difference Rz2−Rz1 obtained by subtracting the ten-point average roughness Rz1 of the base material from the ten-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector on the surface provided with is 0.2 μm or more and 5.1 μm or less. The thickness is 15 μm or more and 18 μm or less.

本発明の二次電池用負極によれば、十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μm以下の比較的平滑な基材に突起部を設けて粗化すると共に基材の厚みを15μm以上18μm以下にしたので、充放電に伴い負極活物質層が大きく膨張収縮しても、負極集電体の破断を抑制することができる。また、負極集電体の表面粗さを自由に決定することができ、負極活物質層の密着性を容易に向上させることができる。更に、負極集電体の表面粗さを両面について容易に制御することもできる。よって、この二次電池用負極を用いた本発明の二次電池によれば、容量およびサイクル特性などの電池特性を向上させることができる。   According to the negative electrode for a secondary battery of the present invention, the ten-point average roughness Rz1 is roughened by providing a protrusion on a relatively smooth base material having a thickness of 2.0 μm or less, and the thickness of the base material is 15 μm or more and 18 μm or less. Therefore, even if the negative electrode active material layer expands and contracts greatly due to charge / discharge, breakage of the negative electrode current collector can be suppressed. Further, the surface roughness of the negative electrode current collector can be freely determined, and the adhesion of the negative electrode active material layer can be easily improved. Furthermore, the surface roughness of the negative electrode current collector can be easily controlled on both sides. Therefore, according to the secondary battery of the present invention using this negative electrode for a secondary battery, battery characteristics such as capacity and cycle characteristics can be improved.

特に、負極集電体の十点平均粗さRz2を1.3μm以上3.5μm以下とするようにすれば、より高い効果を得ることができる。   In particular, if the ten-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector is set to 1.3 μm or more and 3.5 μm or less, a higher effect can be obtained.

<1.二次電池用負極>
図1は、本発明の一実施の形態に係る負極10(二次電池用負極)の構成を表すものである。負極10は、例えば、負極集電体11に構成元素としてケイ素を含む負極活物質層12が設けられた構造を有している。ケイ素はリチウム(Li)を吸蔵および放出する能力が大きく、高いエネルギー密度を得ることができるからである。ケイ素は、単体で含まれていてもよく、合金で含まれていてもよく、化合物で含まれていてもよい。なお、図1では負極集電体11の片面に負極活物質層12が設けられた場合を示したが、負極活物質層12は負極集電体11の両面に設けられていてもよい。
<1. Secondary battery negative electrode>
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a negative electrode 10 (a negative electrode for a secondary battery) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The negative electrode 10 has, for example, a structure in which a negative electrode current collector 11 is provided with a negative electrode active material layer 12 containing silicon as a constituent element. This is because silicon has a large ability to occlude and release lithium (Li), and a high energy density can be obtained. Silicon may be contained as a simple substance, may be contained as an alloy, or may be contained as a compound. Although FIG. 1 shows the case where the negative electrode active material layer 12 is provided on one surface of the negative electrode current collector 11, the negative electrode active material layer 12 may be provided on both surfaces of the negative electrode current collector 11.

負極集電体11は、基材11Aと、基材11Aに設けられた粒子状の突起部11Bとを有している。突起部11Bによるアンカー効果により、負極集電体11と負極活物質層12との密着性を向上させることができるからである。   The negative electrode current collector 11 has a base material 11A and particulate projections 11B provided on the base material 11A. This is because the adhesion between the negative electrode current collector 11 and the negative electrode active material layer 12 can be improved by the anchor effect of the protrusion 11B.

基材11Aは、リチウムと金属間化合物を形成しない金属元素を含む金属材料により構成されていることが好ましい。リチウムと金属間化合物を形成すると、充放電に伴い膨張および収縮し、構造破壊が起こって、集電性が低下する他、負極活物質層12を支える能力が小さくなるからである。なお、本明細書において金属材料には、金属元素の単体だけでなく、2種以上の金属元素あるいは1種以上の金属元素と1種以上の半金属元素とからなる合金も含める。リチウムと金属間化合物を形成しない金属元素としては、例えば、銅(Cu),ニッケル(Ni),チタン(Ti),鉄(Fe)あるいはクロム(Cr)が挙げられる。   The base material 11A is preferably made of a metal material containing a metal element that does not form an intermetallic compound with lithium. This is because when lithium and an intermetallic compound are formed, they expand and contract with charge / discharge, structural breakdown occurs, current collection performance decreases, and the ability to support the negative electrode active material layer 12 decreases. Note that in this specification, the metal material includes not only a single metal element but also an alloy composed of two or more metal elements or one or more metal elements and one or more metalloid elements. Examples of the metal element that does not form an intermetallic compound with lithium include copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), iron (Fe), and chromium (Cr).

また、基材11Aは、負極活物質層12と合金化することが可能な金属元素を含む方がより好ましい場合もある。合金化により負極集電体11と負極活物質層12との密着性をより向上させることができるからである。リチウムと金属間化合物を形成せず、負極活物質層12と合金化する金属元素、すなわちケイ素と合金化する金属元素としては、銅,ニッケルあるいは鉄が挙げられる。   Further, it may be more preferable that the base material 11 </ b> A contains a metal element that can be alloyed with the negative electrode active material layer 12. This is because the adhesion between the negative electrode current collector 11 and the negative electrode active material layer 12 can be further improved by alloying. Examples of the metal element that forms an alloy with lithium and does not form an intermetallic compound with lithium, that is, the metal element that forms an alloy with silicon, include copper, nickel, and iron.

基材11Aは、単層により構成してもよいが、複数層により構成してもよい。その場合、負極活物質層12と接する層を負極活物質層12と合金化しやすい金属材料により構成し、他の層を他の金属材料により構成するようにしてもよい。   The base material 11A may be composed of a single layer, but may be composed of a plurality of layers. In that case, the layer in contact with the negative electrode active material layer 12 may be made of a metal material that is easily alloyed with the negative electrode active material layer 12, and the other layers may be made of another metal material.

突起部11Bは、基材11Aの負極活物質層12が形成される面に少なくとも設けられていればよく、負極活物質層12と合金化することが可能な元素を含むことが好ましい。合金化により負極活物質層12との密着性をより向上させることができるからである。ケイ素と合金化しやすい元素としては、例えば、銅,ニッケル,鉄,アルミニウム(Al),インジウム(In),コバルト(Co),マンガン(Mn),亜鉛(Zn),銀(Ag),スズ(Sn),ゲルマニウム(Ge)あるいは鉛(Pb)が挙げられる。突起部11Bの構成元素は、基材11Aと同一でも異なっていてもよい。   The protrusion 11B only needs to be provided at least on the surface of the base 11A where the negative electrode active material layer 12 is formed, and preferably includes an element that can be alloyed with the negative electrode active material layer 12. This is because the adhesion with the negative electrode active material layer 12 can be further improved by alloying. Examples of elements that are easily alloyed with silicon include copper, nickel, iron, aluminum (Al), indium (In), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), silver (Ag), and tin (Sn). ), Germanium (Ge) or lead (Pb). The constituent elements of the protrusion 11B may be the same as or different from those of the base 11A.

また、基材11Aの負極活物質層12が設けられた面における十点平均粗さRz1は、2.0μm以下であることが好ましい。基材11Aの粗度が大きいと負極活物質層12の膨張収縮により凹部から破断が生じやすく、また、このように比較的平滑な基材11Aに突起部11Bを形成することにより、負極集電体11の表面形状および粗度を容易に制御することができるからである。   Moreover, it is preferable that 10-point average roughness Rz1 in the surface in which the negative electrode active material layer 12 of the base material 11A was provided is 2.0 micrometers or less. If the roughness of the base material 11A is large, the negative electrode active material layer 12 is likely to break from the recess due to expansion and contraction. Also, by forming the protrusion 11B on the relatively smooth base material 11A, the negative electrode current collector is formed. This is because the surface shape and roughness of the body 11 can be easily controlled.

更に、負極集電体11の負極活物質層12が設けられた面における十点平均粗さRz2から基材11Aの十点平均粗さRz1を引いた差Rz2−Rz1は、0.2μm以上5.1μm以下であることが好ましく、負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2が1.3μm以上3.5μm以下であればより好ましい。この範囲内において負極集電体11と負極活物質層12との密着性をより向上させることができるからである。   Further, the difference Rz2−Rz1 obtained by subtracting the ten-point average roughness Rz1 of the base 11A from the ten-point average roughness Rz2 on the surface of the negative electrode current collector 11 on which the negative electrode active material layer 12 is provided is 0.2 μm or more. The 10-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 is more preferably 1.3 μm or more and 3.5 μm or less. This is because the adhesion between the negative electrode current collector 11 and the negative electrode active material layer 12 can be further improved within this range.

これら基材11Aの十点平均粗さRz1および負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2は、例えば、断面を切り出したのち、断面の像を画像処理することにより求めることができる。なお、十点平均粗さはJIS B0601に規定されているものである。   The ten-point average roughness Rz1 of the substrate 11A and the ten-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 can be obtained, for example, by image processing of the image of the cross section after cutting out the cross section. The 10-point average roughness is defined in JIS B0601.

負極活物質層12は、例えば、気相法により形成されたものであることが好ましい。充放電に伴う負極活物質層12の膨張・収縮による破壊を抑制することができると共に、負極集電体11と負極活物質層12とを一体化することができ、負極活物質層12における電子伝導性を向上させることができるからである。   The negative electrode active material layer 12 is preferably formed by, for example, a vapor phase method. Breakage due to expansion / contraction of the negative electrode active material layer 12 due to charge / discharge can be suppressed, the negative electrode current collector 11 and the negative electrode active material layer 12 can be integrated, and electrons in the negative electrode active material layer 12 can be integrated. This is because the conductivity can be improved.

負極活物質層12は、また、負極集電体11との界面の少なくとも一部において負極集電体11と合金化していることが好ましい。具体的には、界面において負極集電体11の構成元素が負極活物質層12に、または負極活物質層12の構成元素が負極集電体11に、またはそれらが互いに拡散していることが好ましい。密着性を向上させることができ、負極活物質層12Bが膨張収縮により負極集電体12Aから脱落してしまうことを抑制することができるからである。   The negative electrode active material layer 12 is preferably alloyed with the negative electrode current collector 11 at least at a part of the interface with the negative electrode current collector 11. Specifically, the constituent elements of the negative electrode current collector 11 are diffused in the negative electrode active material layer 12, the constituent elements of the negative electrode active material layer 12 are diffused in the negative electrode current collector 11, or they are mutually diffused at the interface. preferable. This is because the adhesion can be improved and the negative electrode active material layer 12B can be prevented from falling off the negative electrode current collector 12A due to expansion and contraction.

負極10は、例えば、次のようにして製造することができる。   The negative electrode 10 can be manufactured as follows, for example.

まず、基材11Aとして、例えば十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μm以下の金属箔を用意し、これに電解めっきなどにより突起部11Bを形成して負極集電体11を作製する。その際、電流値または時間などを制御することにより、突起部11Bの大きさを調節し、負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2を調節する。   First, as the base material 11A, for example, a metal foil having a ten-point average roughness Rz1 of 2.0 μm or less is prepared, and a protruding portion 11B is formed on the metal foil by electrolytic plating or the like to produce the negative electrode current collector 11. At that time, by controlling the current value or time, the size of the protrusion 11B is adjusted, and the ten-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 is adjusted.

次いで、負極集電体11に気相法により負極活物質層12を成膜する。気相法としては、例えば、物理堆積法あるいは化学堆積法が挙げられ、具体的には、真空蒸着法,スパッタ法,イオンプレーティング法,レーザーアブレーション法,CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition ;化学気相成長)法あるいは溶射法などが挙げられる。   Next, the negative electrode active material layer 12 is formed on the negative electrode current collector 11 by a vapor phase method. Examples of the vapor phase method include a physical deposition method and a chemical deposition method. Specifically, a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, an ion plating method, a laser ablation method, a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition; chemical vapor deposition). ) Method or thermal spraying method.

なお、負極活物質層12の成膜時に、負極活物質層12と負極集電体11との合金化が同時に起こる場合もあるが、負極活物質層12を成膜したのちに、真空雰囲気下または非酸化性雰囲気下で熱処理を行い、合金化するようにしてもよい。これにより図1に示した負極10が得られる。   Note that although the negative electrode active material layer 12 and the negative electrode current collector 11 may be alloyed at the same time when the negative electrode active material layer 12 is formed, the negative electrode active material layer 12 is formed in a vacuum atmosphere after forming the negative electrode active material layer 12. Alternatively, heat treatment may be performed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to form an alloy. Thereby, the negative electrode 10 shown in FIG. 1 is obtained.

The exterior cup 21 and the exterior can 22 are made of, for example, a metal such as stainless steel or aluminum.

正極23は、例えば、正極集電体23Aと、正極集電体23Aに設けられた正極活物質層23Bとを有しており、正極活物質層23Bの側が負極活物質層12と対向するように配置されている。正極集電体23Aは、例えば、アルミニウム,ニッケルあるいはステンレスなどにより構成されている。   The positive electrode 23 includes, for example, a positive electrode current collector 23A and a positive electrode active material layer 23B provided on the positive electrode current collector 23A so that the positive electrode active material layer 23B side faces the negative electrode active material layer 12. Is arranged. The positive electrode current collector 23A is made of, for example, aluminum, nickel, stainless steel, or the like.

正極活物質層23Bは、例えば、正極活物質としてリチウムを吸蔵および放出することが可能な正極材料のいずれか1種または2種以上を含んでおり、必要に応じて炭素材料などの導電材およびポリフッ化ビニリデンなどのバインダーを含んでいてもよい。リチウムを吸蔵および放出することが可能な正極材料としては、例えば、一般式Lix MIO2 で表されるリチウム含有金属複合酸化物が好ましい。リチウム含有金属複合酸化物は、高電圧を発生可能であると共に、高密度であるため、二次電池の更なる高容量化を図ることができるからである。なお、MIは1種類以上の遷移金属であり、例えばコバルトおよびニッケルのうちの少なくとも一方が好ましい。xは電池の充放電状態によって異なり、通常0.05≦x≦1.10の範囲内の値である。このようなリチウム含有金属複合酸化物の具体例としては、LiCoO2 あるいはLiNiO2 などが挙げられる。 The positive electrode active material layer 23B includes, for example, any one or more of positive electrode materials capable of inserting and extracting lithium as a positive electrode active material, and a conductive material such as a carbon material and the like as necessary. A binder such as polyvinylidene fluoride may be included. As a positive electrode material capable of inserting and extracting lithium, for example, a lithium-containing metal composite oxide represented by a general formula Li x MIO 2 is preferable. This is because the lithium-containing metal composite oxide can generate a high voltage and has a high density, so that the capacity of the secondary battery can be further increased. MI is one or more kinds of transition metals, and for example, at least one of cobalt and nickel is preferable. x varies depending on the charge / discharge state of the battery and is usually a value in the range of 0.05 ≦ x ≦ 1.10. Specific examples of such a lithium-containing metal composite oxide include LiCoO 2 and LiNiO 2 .

なお、正極23は、例えば、正極活物質と導電材とバインダーとを混合して合剤を調製し、この合剤をN−メチル−2−ピロリドンなどの分散媒に分散させて合剤スラリーを作製し、この合剤スラリーを金属箔よりなる正極集電体23Aに塗布し乾燥させたのち、圧縮成型し正極活物質層23Bを形成することにより作製することができる。   The positive electrode 23 is prepared, for example, by mixing a positive electrode active material, a conductive material, and a binder to prepare a mixture, and dispersing the mixture in a dispersion medium such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. This mixture slurry is applied to the positive electrode current collector 23A made of a metal foil, dried, and then compression molded to form the positive electrode active material layer 23B.

セパレータ24は、負極10と正極23とを隔離し、両極の接触による電流の短絡を防止しつつ、リチウムイオンを通過させるものである。このセパレータ24は、例えば、ポリエチレンやポリプロピレンにより構成されている。   The separator 24 separates the negative electrode 10 and the positive electrode 23 and allows lithium ions to pass through while preventing a short circuit of current due to contact between both electrodes. The separator 24 is made of, for example, polyethylene or polypropylene.

セパレータ24には、液状の電解質である電解液が含浸されている。この電解液は、例えば、溶媒と、この溶媒に溶解された電解質塩とを含んでおり、必要に応じて添加剤を含んでいてもよい。溶媒としては、例えば、炭酸エチレン,炭酸プロピレン,炭酸ジメチル,炭酸ジエチルあるいは炭酸エチルメチルなどの非水溶媒が挙げられる。溶媒はいずれか1種を単独で用いてもよいが、2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。   The separator 24 is impregnated with an electrolytic solution that is a liquid electrolyte. This electrolytic solution contains, for example, a solvent and an electrolyte salt dissolved in this solvent, and may contain an additive as necessary. Examples of the solvent include nonaqueous solvents such as ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate. Any one of the solvents may be used alone, or two or more may be mixed and used.

電解質塩としては、例えば、LiPF6 ,LiCF3 SO3 あるいはLiClO4 などのリチウム塩が挙げられる。電解質塩は、いずれか1種を単独で用いてもよいが、2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。 Examples of the electrolyte salt include lithium salts such as LiPF 6 , LiCF 3 SO 3, and LiClO 4 . Any one electrolyte salt may be used alone, or two or more electrolyte salts may be mixed and used.

この二次電池は、例えば、負極10、電解液が含浸されたセパレータ24および正極23を積層して、外装カップ21と外装缶22との中に入れ、それらをかしめることにより製造することができる。   This secondary battery can be manufactured, for example, by laminating the negative electrode 10, the separator 24 impregnated with the electrolytic solution, and the positive electrode 23, placing them in the outer cup 21 and the outer can 22, and caulking them. it can.

この二次電池では、充電を行うと、例えば、正極23からリチウムイオンが放出され、電解液を介して負極10に吸蔵される。放電を行うと、例えば、負極10からリチウムイオンが放出され、電解液を介して正極23に吸蔵される。本実施の形態では、十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μm以下の基材11Aに突起部11Bを設けて粗化した負極集電体11を用いているので、充放電により負極活物質層12が膨張収縮しても、負極集電体が破断したり、負極活物質層12が負極集電体11から脱落することが抑制される。   In the secondary battery, when charged, for example, lithium ions are released from the positive electrode 23 and inserted in the negative electrode 10 through the electrolytic solution. When discharging is performed, for example, lithium ions are released from the negative electrode 10 and inserted in the positive electrode 23 through the electrolytic solution. In the present embodiment, the negative electrode current collector 11 that is roughened by providing the protrusions 11B on the base material 11A having a ten-point average roughness Rz1 of 2.0 μm or less is used. Even if the material expands and contracts, the negative electrode current collector is prevented from being broken or the negative electrode active material layer 12 is prevented from falling off the negative electrode current collector 11.

The exterior member 41 is disposed, for example, so that the polyethylene film side and the electrode winding body 30 face each other, and the outer edge portions are in close contact with each other by fusion or an adhesive. An adhesion film 42 for preventing the entry of outside air is inserted between the exterior member 41 and the leads 31 and 32. The adhesion film 42 is made of a material having adhesion to the leads 31 and 32, for example, a polyolefin resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, modified polyethylene, or modified polypropylene.

なお、外装部材41は、上述したアルミラミネートフィルムに代えて、他の構造を有するラミネートフィルム,ポリプロピレンなどの高分子フィルムあるいは金属フィルムにより構成するようにしてもよい。   The exterior member 41 may be made of a laminated film having another structure, a polymer film such as polypropylene, or a metal film instead of the above-described aluminum laminated film.

図4は、図3に示した電極巻回体30のI−I線に沿った断面構造を表すものである。電極巻回体30は、負極10と正極33とをセパレータ34および電解質層35を介して積層し、巻回したものであり、最外周部は保護テープ36により保護されている。   FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional structure taken along line II of the electrode winding body 30 shown in FIG. The electrode winding body 30 is obtained by laminating and winding the negative electrode 10 and the positive electrode 33 with the separator 34 and the electrolyte layer 35 interposed therebetween, and the outermost peripheral portion is protected by a protective tape 36.

負極10は、負極集電体11の両面に負極活物質層12が設けられた構造を有している。正極33も、正極集電体33Aの両面に正極活物質層33Bが設けられた構造を有しており、正極活物質層33Bと負極活物質層12とが対向するように配置されている。正極集電体33A,正極活物質層33Bおよびセパレータ34の構成は、それぞれ上述した正極集電体23A,正極活物質層23Bおよびセパレータ24と同様である。   The negative electrode 10 has a structure in which a negative electrode active material layer 12 is provided on both surfaces of a negative electrode current collector 11. The positive electrode 33 also has a structure in which the positive electrode active material layer 33B is provided on both surfaces of the positive electrode current collector 33A, and the positive electrode active material layer 33B and the negative electrode active material layer 12 are arranged to face each other. The configurations of the positive electrode current collector 33A, the positive electrode active material layer 33B, and the separator 34 are the same as those of the positive electrode current collector 23A, the positive electrode active material layer 23B, and the separator 24 described above.

電解質層35は、高分子化合物よりなる保持体に電解液を保持させたいわゆるゲル状の電解質により構成されている。ゲル状の電解質は高いイオン伝導率を得ることができると共に、電池の漏液を防止することができるので好ましい。電解液の構成は、図2に示したコイン型の二次電池と同様である。高分子材料としては、例えばポリフッ化ビニリデンが挙げられる。   The electrolyte layer 35 is configured by a so-called gel electrolyte in which an electrolytic solution is held in a holding body made of a polymer compound. A gel electrolyte is preferable because high ion conductivity can be obtained and battery leakage can be prevented. The configuration of the electrolytic solution is the same as that of the coin-type secondary battery shown in FIG. An example of the polymer material is polyvinylidene fluoride.

この二次電池は、例えば、次のようにして製造することができる。   For example, the secondary battery can be manufactured as follows.

まず、負極10および正極33のそれぞれに、保持体に電解液を保持させた電解質層35を形成し、リード31,32を取り付ける。次いで、電解質層35が形成された負極10と正極33とをセパレータ34を介して積層し、巻回して、最外周部に保護テープ36を接着して電極巻回体30を形成する。続いて、例えば、外装部材41の間に電極巻回体30を挟み込み、外装部材41の外縁部同士を熱融着などにより密着させて封入する。その際、リード31,32と外装部材41との間には密着フィルム42を挿入する。これにより、図3および図4に示した二次電池が完成する。   First, on each of the negative electrode 10 and the positive electrode 33, an electrolyte layer 35 in which an electrolytic solution is held in a holding body is formed, and leads 31 and 32 are attached. Next, the negative electrode 10 on which the electrolyte layer 35 is formed and the positive electrode 33 are laminated via the separator 34 and wound, and the protective tape 36 is adhered to the outermost peripheral portion to form the electrode winding body 30. Subsequently, for example, the electrode winding body 30 is sandwiched between the exterior members 41, and the outer edge portions of the exterior members 41 are sealed and sealed by thermal fusion or the like. At that time, the adhesion film 42 is inserted between the leads 31 and 32 and the exterior member 41. Thereby, the secondary battery shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is completed.

また、次のようにして製造してもよい。まず、負極10および正極33のそれぞれにリード31,32を取り付けたのち、負極10と正極33とをセパレータ34を介して積層して巻回し、最外周部に保護テープ36を接着して、電極巻回体30の前駆体である巻回体を形成する。次いで、この巻回体を外装部材41に挟み、一辺を除く外周縁部を熱融着して袋状としたのち、電解液と、高分子化合物の原料であるモノマーと、重合開始剤と、必要に応じて重合禁止剤などの他の材料とを含む電解質用組成物を、外装部材41の内部に注入する。続いて、外装部材41の開口部を真空雰囲気下で熱融着して密封し、熱を加えてモノマーを重合させて高分子化合物とすることによりゲル状の電解質層35を形成する。これにより、図3および図4に示した二次電池が完成する。   Moreover, you may manufacture as follows. First, after the leads 31 and 32 are attached to the negative electrode 10 and the positive electrode 33, the negative electrode 10 and the positive electrode 33 are laminated and wound via the separator 34, and the protective tape 36 is adhered to the outermost peripheral portion to A wound body that is a precursor of the wound body 30 is formed. Next, the wound body is sandwiched between exterior members 41, and the outer peripheral edge except for one side is heat-sealed into a bag shape, and then the electrolyte, the monomer that is the raw material of the polymer compound, the polymerization initiator, An electrolyte composition containing another material such as a polymerization inhibitor is injected into the exterior member 41 as necessary. Subsequently, the opening of the exterior member 41 is heat-sealed and sealed in a vacuum atmosphere, and heat is applied to polymerize the monomer to form a polymer compound, thereby forming the gel electrolyte layer 35. Thereby, the secondary battery shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is completed.

この二次電池の作用は、図2に示したコイン型の二次電池と同様である。   The operation of this secondary battery is the same as that of the coin-type secondary battery shown in FIG.

このように本実施の形態によれば、十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μm以下の比較的平滑な基材11Aに突起部11Bを設けて粗化するようにしたので、充放電に伴い負極活物質層12が大きく膨張収縮しても、負極集電体11の破断を抑制することができる。また、負極集電体11の厚みおよび表面粗さを自由に決定することができ、負極活物質層12の密着性を容易に向上させることができる。更に、負極集電体11の表面粗さを両面について容易に制御することもできる。よって、容量およびサイクル特性などの電池特性を向上させることができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the protrusion 11B is provided on the relatively smooth base material 11A having a ten-point average roughness Rz1 of 2.0 μm or less so as to be roughened. Even if the active material layer 12 expands and contracts greatly, the breakage of the negative electrode current collector 11 can be suppressed. In addition, the thickness and surface roughness of the negative electrode current collector 11 can be freely determined, and the adhesion of the negative electrode active material layer 12 can be easily improved. Furthermore, the surface roughness of the negative electrode current collector 11 can be easily controlled on both sides. Therefore, battery characteristics such as capacity and cycle characteristics can be improved.

特に、負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2を1.3μm以上3.5μm以下とするようにすれば、より高い効果を得ることができる。   In particular, if the ten-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 is set to 1.3 μm or more and 3.5 μm or less, a higher effect can be obtained.

更に、本発明の具体的な実施例について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。   Further, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(実施例1−1〜1−19)
図3,4に示した構造の二次電池を作製した。
(Examples 1-1 to 1-19)
A secondary battery having the structure shown in FIGS.

まず、基材11Aとして、実施例1−1〜1−9では、厚みが18μm、十点平均粗さRz1が0.8μmの電解銅箔を用意し、実施例1−10〜1−19では、厚みが15μm、十点平均粗さRz1が0.5μmの圧延銅箔を用意した。次いで、基材11Aに電解めっきにより銅の突起部11Bを形成し、負極集電体11を作製した。その際、突起部11Bの大きさを変化させることにより、負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2を実施例1−1〜1−19で表1に示したように変化させた。続いて、負極集電体11に電子ビーム真空蒸着法によりケイ素よりなる厚み約5.5μmの負極活物質層12を成膜した。   First, as the base material 11A, in Examples 1-1 to 1-9, an electrolytic copper foil having a thickness of 18 μm and a ten-point average roughness Rz1 of 0.8 μm was prepared. In Examples 1-10 to 1-19, A rolled copper foil having a thickness of 15 μm and a ten-point average roughness Rz1 of 0.5 μm was prepared. Next, a copper protrusion 11B was formed on the base 11A by electrolytic plating, and a negative electrode current collector 11 was produced. At that time, the ten-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 was changed as shown in Table 1-1 in Examples 1-1 to 1-19 by changing the size of the protrusion 11B. Subsequently, a negative electrode active material layer 12 made of silicon and having a thickness of about 5.5 μm was formed on the negative electrode current collector 11 by an electron beam vacuum deposition method.

また、正極活物質である平均粒径5μmのコバルト酸リチウム(LiCoO2 )粉末92質量部と、導電材であるカーボンブラック3質量部と、バインダーであるポリフッ化ビニリデン5質量部とを混合し、これを分散媒であるN−メチル−2−ピロリドンに投入してスラリーとした。次いで、これを厚み15μmのアルミニウム箔よりなる正極集電体33Aに塗布して乾燥させたのちプレスを行って正極活物質層33Bを形成した。 Also, 92 parts by mass of lithium cobaltate (LiCoO 2 ) powder having an average particle diameter of 5 μm as a positive electrode active material, 3 parts by mass of carbon black as a conductive material, and 5 parts by mass of polyvinylidene fluoride as a binder are mixed. This was put into N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a dispersion medium to form a slurry. Next, this was applied to a positive electrode current collector 33A made of an aluminum foil having a thickness of 15 μm, dried, and then pressed to form a positive electrode active material layer 33B.

続いて、炭酸エチレン37.5質量%と、炭酸プロピレン37.5質量%と、炭酸ビニレン10質量%と、LiPF6 15質量%とを混合して電解液を調整し、この電解液30質量%と、重量平均分子量60万のブロック共重合体であるポリフッ化ビニリデン10質量%と、炭酸ジメチル60質量%とを混合した前駆溶液を負極10および正極33の両面にそれぞれ塗布し、炭酸ジメチルを揮発させることにより電解質層35を形成した。 Subsequently, 37.5% by mass of ethylene carbonate, 37.5% by mass of propylene carbonate, 10% by mass of vinylene carbonate, and 15% by mass of LiPF 6 were prepared to prepare an electrolyte solution, and this electrolyte solution was 30% by mass. And a precursor solution obtained by mixing 10% by mass of polyvinylidene fluoride, which is a block copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 600,000, and 60% by mass of dimethyl carbonate, was applied to both surfaces of the negative electrode 10 and the positive electrode 33, and dimethyl carbonate was volatilized. Thus, the electrolyte layer 35 was formed.

そののち、リード31,32を取り付け、負極10と正極33とをセパレータ34を介して積層して巻回し、アルミラミネートフィルムよりなる外装部材41に封入した。これにより実施例1−1〜1−19の二次電池を得た。   After that, the leads 31 and 32 were attached, the negative electrode 10 and the positive electrode 33 were laminated via a separator 34 and wound, and sealed in an exterior member 41 made of an aluminum laminate film. Thus, secondary batteries of Examples 1-1 to 1-19 were obtained.

実施例1−1〜1−19に対する比較例1−1〜1−13として、表2に示したように負極集電体の構成を変えたことを除き、他は実施例1−1〜1−19と同様にして二次電池を作製した。なお、比較例1−1では実施例1−1〜1−9と同一の電解銅箔を用い、突起部を形成しなかった。比較例1−2では厚みが18μm、十点平均粗さRz1が1.2μmである電解銅箔を用い、突起部を形成しなかった。比較例1−3〜1−5では厚みが15μm、十点平均粗さRz1が0.5μmの圧延銅箔を用い、比較例1−3では突起部を形成せず、他は突起部の大きさを変化させて形成した。比較例1−6〜1−13では、十点平均粗さRz1が大きい電解銅箔を用い、比較例1−6,1−9では突起部を形成せず、他は突起部の大きさを変化させて形成した。   As Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-13 with respect to Examples 1-1 to 1-19, except that the configuration of the negative electrode current collector was changed as shown in Table 2, other examples 1-1 to 1 were used. A secondary battery was made in the same manner as -19. In Comparative Example 1-1, the same electrolytic copper foil as in Examples 1-1 to 1-9 was used, and no protrusion was formed. In Comparative Example 1-2, an electrolytic copper foil having a thickness of 18 μm and a ten-point average roughness Rz1 of 1.2 μm was used, and no protrusion was formed. In Comparative Examples 1-3 to 1-5, a rolled copper foil having a thickness of 15 μm and a ten-point average roughness Rz1 of 0.5 μm is used. In Comparative Example 1-3, no protrusion is formed, and the others are the size of the protrusion. It was formed by changing the thickness. In Comparative Examples 1-6 to 1-13, an electrolytic copper foil having a large ten-point average roughness Rz1 is used, and in Comparative Examples 1-6 and 1-9, no protrusion is formed, and the size of the protrusion is the other. Changed and formed.

作製した実施例1−1〜1−19および比較例1−1〜1−13の二次電池について、25℃の条件下で充放電試験を行い、2サイクル目に対する101サイクル目の容量維持率を求めた。その際、充電は、1mA/cm2 の定電流密度で電池電圧が4.2Vに達するまで行ったのち、4.2Vの定電圧で電流密度が0.05mA/cm2 に達するまで行い、放電は、1mA/cm2 の定電流密度で電池電圧が2.5Vに達するまで行った。なお、充電を行う際には、負極10の容量の利用率が90%となるようにし、負極10に金属リチウムが析出しないようにした。容量維持率は、2サイクル目の放電容量に対する101サイクル目の放電容量の比率、すなわち(101サイクル目の放電容量/2サイクル目の放電容量)×100として算出した。それらの結果を表1,2に示す。 The fabricated secondary batteries of Examples 1-1 to 1-19 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-13 were subjected to a charge / discharge test under the condition of 25 ° C., and the capacity retention rate at the 101st cycle with respect to the 2nd cycle. Asked. At that time, charging is performed at a constant current density of 1 mA / cm 2 until the battery voltage reaches 4.2 V, and then at a constant voltage of 4.2 V until the current density reaches 0.05 mA / cm 2. Was performed at a constant current density of 1 mA / cm 2 until the battery voltage reached 2.5V. In addition, when performing charging, the utilization factor of the capacity of the negative electrode 10 was set to 90% so that metallic lithium was not deposited on the negative electrode 10. The capacity retention ratio was calculated as the ratio of the discharge capacity at the 101st cycle to the discharge capacity at the 2nd cycle, that is, (discharge capacity at the 101st cycle / discharge capacity at the 2nd cycle) × 100. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

また、図5〜12に実施例1−4,比較例1−1,1−4,1−10で用いた負極集電体11の走査電子顕微鏡(Scanning Electron Microscope;SEM)写真および走査イオン顕微鏡(Scanning Ion Microscope ;SIM)写真を示す。図5は実施例1−4の表面構造、図6,7はその断面構造である。図8は比較例1−1の表面構造、図9は比較例1−4の表面構造、図10は比較例1−10の表面構造、図11,12はその断面構造である。図7,12に示したように、基材11Aと突起部11Bとで結晶粒子が異なっているので、その結晶構造から基材11Aの十点平均粗さRz1および負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2を算出することができる。   5 to 12 are scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs and a scanning ion microscope of the negative electrode current collector 11 used in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-1, 1-4, and 1-10. (Scanning Ion Microscope; SIM) A photograph is shown. FIG. 5 shows the surface structure of Example 1-4, and FIGS. 8 shows the surface structure of Comparative Example 1-1, FIG. 9 shows the surface structure of Comparative Example 1-4, FIG. 10 shows the surface structure of Comparative Example 1-10, and FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 12, since the crystal particles are different between the base material 11A and the protrusion 11B, the ten point average roughness Rz1 of the base material 11A and the ten points of the negative electrode current collector 11 are determined from the crystal structure. The average roughness Rz2 can be calculated.

表1に示したように、十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μm以下の基材11Aに突起部11Bを形成し、Rz2−Rz1を0.2μm以上5.1μm以下とした実施例1−1〜1−19では、65%以上の高い容量維持率が得られた。   As shown in Table 1, Example 1-1 in which a protrusion 11B was formed on a base material 11A having a ten-point average roughness Rz1 of 2.0 μm or less, and Rz2-Rz1 was 0.2 μm or more and 5.1 μm or less. In ˜1-19, a high capacity retention rate of 65% or more was obtained.

これに対して、表2に示したように、十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μm以下の基材を用い、突起部を形成していない比較例1−1〜1−3、および十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μm以下の基材に突起部を形成し、Rz2−Rz1を0.1μmとした比較例1−4では、負極集電体と負極活物質層との密着性が低く、容量維持率は50%以下と低かった。また、十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μm以下の基材に突起部を形成し、Rz2−Rz1を5.1μmよりも大きくした比較例1−5では、突起部の脱落により負極集電体と負極活物質層との密着性を向上させることができず、容量維持率は18%と低かった。   On the other hand, as shown in Table 2, Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-3 in which a ten-point average roughness Rz1 is 2.0 μm or less and no protrusion is formed, and ten points In Comparative Example 1-4 in which protrusions are formed on a substrate having an average roughness Rz1 of 2.0 μm or less and Rz2-Rz1 is 0.1 μm, the adhesion between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material layer is low. The capacity retention rate was as low as 50% or less. Further, in Comparative Example 1-5 in which a protrusion was formed on a base material having a ten-point average roughness Rz1 of 2.0 μm or less, and Rz2-Rz1 was larger than 5.1 μm, the negative electrode current collector was removed due to the protrusion being dropped. The adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer could not be improved, and the capacity retention rate was as low as 18%.

更に、十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μmよりも大きい基材を用い、突起部を形成していない比較例1−6,1−9、および十点平均粗さRz1が2.0μmよりも大きい基材に突起部を形成し、Rz2−Rz1を0.2μm以上5.1μm以下とした比較例1−7,1−8,1−10〜1−13でも、容量維持率は56%以下と低かった。   Furthermore, using the base material whose ten-point average roughness Rz1 is larger than 2.0 μm, Comparative Examples 1-6 and 1-9 in which no protrusions are formed, and the ten-point average roughness Rz1 is more than 2.0 μm Even in Comparative Examples 1-7, 1-8, 1-10 to 1-13 in which protrusions were formed on a large substrate and Rz2-Rz1 was 0.2 μm or more and 5.1 μm or less, the capacity retention rate was 56% or less. It was low.

また、負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2が近い値を有する実施例1−4(容量維持率90%)と比較例1−7(容量維持率43%)、または実施例1−17(容量維持率68%)と比較例1−8(容量維持率41%)とを比較すれば分かるように、負極集電体11の表面粗度が同じでも、表面状態により容量維持率は大きく異なっていた。   In addition, Example 1-4 (capacity maintenance ratio 90%) and Comparative Example 1-7 (capacity maintenance ratio 43%), or Example 1 in which the ten-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 is close. 17 (capacity retention ratio 68%) and Comparative Example 1-8 (capacity retention ratio 41%), as can be seen, even if the surface roughness of the negative electrode current collector 11 is the same, the capacity retention ratio depends on the surface condition. It was very different.

すなわち、十点平均粗さRz1が2μm以下の基材11Aを用い、突起部11Bを形成することにより、負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2と基材11Aの十点平均粗さRz1との差Rz2−Rz1を0.2μm以上5.1μm以下とするようにすれば、サイクル特性を向上させることができることが分かった。   That is, by using the base material 11A having a 10-point average roughness Rz1 of 2 μm or less and forming the protrusion 11B, the 10-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 and the 10-point average roughness Rz1 of the base material 11A It was found that the cycle characteristics can be improved by setting the difference Rz2−Rz1 to 0.2 μm or more and 5.1 μm or less.

また、負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2を1.3μm以上3.5μm以下とした実施例1−2〜1−6,1−12〜1−16によれば、70%以上の容量維持率が得られた。すなわち、負極集電体11の十点平均粗さRz2を1.3μm以上3.5μm以下とすれば、より好ましいことが分かった。   Further, according to Examples 1-2 to 1-6 and 1-12 to 1-16 in which the ten-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 was 1.3 μm or more and 3.5 μm or less, 70% or more A capacity retention rate was obtained. In other words, it was found that the ten-point average roughness Rz2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 was more preferably 1.3 μm or more and 3.5 μm or less.

(実施例2−1〜2−8)
スパッタリング法により負極活物質層12を成膜したことを除き、他は実施例1−2〜1−9と同様にして二次電池を作製した。また、実施例2−1〜2−8に対する比較例2−1〜2−5として、比較例1−10〜1−13と同様の負極集電体を用いたことを除き、他は実施例2−1〜2−8と同様にして二次電池を作製した。実施例2−1〜2−8および比較例2−1〜2−5の二次電池についても、実施例1−2〜1−9と同様にして容量維持率を求めた。それらの結果を表3に示す。
(Examples 2-1 to 2-8)
A secondary battery was fabricated in the same manner as in Examples 1-2 to 1-9, except that the negative electrode active material layer 12 was formed by sputtering. Further, as Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-5 with respect to Examples 2-1 to 2-8, except that the negative electrode current collector similar to Comparative Examples 1-10 to 1-13 was used, other examples were used. Secondary batteries were fabricated in the same manner as in 2-1 to 2-8. For the secondary batteries of Examples 2-1 to 2-8 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-5, the capacity retention ratio was determined in the same manner as in Examples 1-2 to 1-9. The results are shown in Table 3.
