Description
本発明は、有機ホスフェートを正極材の表面にコーティング及び熱処理することで、正極材と電解液との分解反応の抑制及びリチウム二次電池の電気化学的性能を有意に改善させることができる、新規な正極活物質及びこの製造方法、前記正極活物質を備えた電気化学素子、更には、リチウム二次電池に関する。 In the present invention, by coating and heat-treating organic phosphate on the surface of the positive electrode material, the decomposition reaction between the positive electrode material and the electrolytic solution can be suppressed, and the electrochemical performance of the lithium secondary battery can be significantly improved. The present invention relates to a positive electrode active material, a manufacturing method thereof, an electrochemical device including the positive electrode active material, and further to a lithium secondary battery.
最近、電子機器の小型化に伴い、高容量の二次電池が求められており、特に、ニッケル・カドミウム電池、ニッケル・水素電池に比べてエネルギー密度の高いリチウム二次電池が注目されている。 Recently, with the downsizing of electronic equipment, high-capacity secondary batteries have been demanded. In particular, lithium secondary batteries having higher energy density than nickel / cadmium batteries and nickel / hydrogen batteries have attracted attention.
リチウム二次電池の正極活物質としては、リチウム含有コバルト酸化物(LiCoO2)が主に使用されており、その他、層状結晶構造のLiMnO2、スピネル結晶構造のLiMn2O4などのリチウム含有マンガン酸化物、及びリチウム含有ニッケル酸化物であるLiNiO2の使用が検討されている。前述した正極活物質のうち、LiCoO2は、優れた寿命特性及び充放電効率を有しているため、最も多く使用されているが、容量が少なく、原料として使用されるコバルト資源が希少で高価であるため、電気自動車などのような中・大型電池分野において動力源として大量使用するのにはコスト競争力に限界があるという短所がある。LiMnO2、LiMn2O4などのリチウムマンガン酸化物は、原料として使用されるマンガン資源が豊富であるため、安価でかつ環境に優しく、優れた熱的安定性を有するという長所があるが、容量が少なく、高温特性及びサイクル特性に劣るという問題を持っている。 As a positive electrode active material of a lithium secondary battery, lithium-containing cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2 ) is mainly used. In addition, lithium-containing manganese such as LiMnO 2 having a layered crystal structure and LiMn 2 O 4 having a spinel crystal structure is used. oxide, and the use of LiNiO 2 is a lithium-containing nickel oxide has been studied. Among the positive electrode active materials described above, LiCoO 2 is most often used because it has excellent life characteristics and charge / discharge efficiency, but has a small capacity and a scarce and expensive cobalt resource used as a raw material. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that there is a limit to cost competitiveness for mass use as a power source in the field of medium and large batteries such as electric vehicles. Lithium manganese oxides such as LiMnO 2 and LiMn 2 O 4 have the advantage that they are inexpensive, environmentally friendly and have excellent thermal stability because they are rich in manganese resources used as raw materials. There are few problems, and it is inferior to a high temperature characteristic and cycling characteristics.
このような短所を補うため、二次電池の正極活物質としてニッケルリッチなシステム(Ni rich system)の需要が増え始めているが、このニッケルリッチなシステム(Ni rich system)の活物質は、高容量化が可能であるなどの優れた長所を有するが、電解液との反応による電池性能の劣化現象が発生することがある。 In order to compensate for these disadvantages, the demand for a nickel-rich system as a positive electrode active material of a secondary battery has begun to increase. However, the active material of the nickel-rich system (Ni rich system) has a high capacity. However, the battery performance may deteriorate due to the reaction with the electrolytic solution.
上記のような正極活物質と電解液との反応を効果的に抑制するための技術の開発が行われているが、まだ満足すべき結果が得られていない。従って、リチウム二次電池の電気化学的性能と信頼性を長期的に向上させることができる、新規な構成を有する正極活物質の開発が切実に要望されている。 Development of a technique for effectively suppressing the reaction between the positive electrode active material and the electrolytic solution as described above has been performed, but satisfactory results have not yet been obtained. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for the development of a positive electrode active material having a novel configuration that can improve the electrochemical performance and reliability of a lithium secondary battery over the long term.
本発明は、上記のような従来技術の問題点を解決するために案出されたものであって、P元素を含む有機化合物、例えば、有機ホスフェート(organophosphate)を、正極活物質の表面にコーティング及び熱処理を行うと、電解液の正極表面における酸化分解反応を抑制し、リチウム二次電池の電気化学的性能が有意に向上することを見つけた。 The present invention has been devised to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and is coated with an organic compound containing P element, for example, organic phosphate, on the surface of the positive electrode active material. In addition, it was found that when the heat treatment was performed, the oxidative decomposition reaction on the positive electrode surface of the electrolyte was suppressed, and the electrochemical performance of the lithium secondary battery was significantly improved.
従って、本発明の目的は、前記有機ホスフェートのコーティング層が形成された正極活物質及びこの製造方法を提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a positive electrode active material on which the organic phosphate coating layer is formed and a method for producing the same.
本発明の他の目的は、前述した正極活物質を備え、電気化学的性能及び信頼性の改善されたリチウム二次電池を提供することにある。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a lithium secondary battery including the above-described positive electrode active material and having improved electrochemical performance and reliability.
上記のような目的を達成するため、本発明は、リチウム遷移金属酸化物系粒子、及び前記粒子表面の一部又は全部に形成された有機ホスフェートコーティング層を含む正極活物質、好ましくは、リチウム二次電池用正極活物質を提供する。 In order to achieve the above-described object, the present invention provides a positive electrode active material comprising lithium transition metal oxide-based particles and an organic phosphate coating layer formed on part or all of the particle surface, preferably lithium A positive electrode active material for a secondary battery is provided.
本発明の好適な一例によれば、前記有機ホスフェートコーティング層は、下記一般式(1)で示される化合物であることができる。 According to a preferred example of the present invention, the organic phosphate coating layer may be a compound represented by the following general formula (1).
なお、前記有機ホスフェートは、熱処理を通じて正極表面のリチウム化合物中の一部と反応して有機リチウムホスフェートに転換されることが好ましい。 In addition, it is preferable that the said organic phosphate reacts with a part in lithium compound on the surface of a positive electrode through heat processing, and is converted into an organic lithium phosphate.
また、本発明は、前述した正極活物質を含む正極及びこれを備えた電気化学素子、好ましくは、リチウム二次電池を提供する。 The present invention also provides a positive electrode including the positive electrode active material described above and an electrochemical device including the positive electrode, preferably a lithium secondary battery.
さらに、本発明は、(i)リチウム遷移金属酸化物系粒子の表面に有機ホスフェートをコーティングするステップ;及び(ii)前記コーティングされたリチウム金属複合酸化物系粒子を熱処理するステップを含む正極活物質の製造方法を提供する。 The present invention further includes (i) coating the surface of the lithium transition metal oxide-based particles with an organic phosphate; and (ii) heat treating the coated lithium metal composite oxide-based particles. A manufacturing method is provided.
本発明によれば、リン(P)を含む有機化合物を、正極活物質の表面にコーティング及び熱処理することで、従来の正極活物質に比べて、電解液との酸化分解反応を抑制することができ、これにより、リチウム二次電池の電気化学的性能及び長期信頼性を有意に向上させることができる。 According to the present invention, an organic compound containing phosphorus (P) is coated and heat-treated on the surface of the positive electrode active material, so that the oxidative decomposition reaction with the electrolytic solution can be suppressed as compared with the conventional positive electrode active material. Thus, the electrochemical performance and long-term reliability of the lithium secondary battery can be significantly improved.
従って、既存の正極活物質だけでなく、電解液との反応による電池性能劣化現象のおそれがあるニッケルリッチなシステム(Ni rich system)における活物質に適用することによって、長期信頼性と高容量とを同時に確保することが可能である。 Therefore, not only the existing positive electrode active material but also the active material in the nickel rich system (Ni rich system) where there is a risk of battery performance degradation due to reaction with the electrolyte, long-term reliability and high capacity Can be secured at the same time.
以下、本発明の詳細を説明する。 Details of the present invention will be described below.
本発明は、正極活物質と電解液との酸化分解反応を抑制すると共に、リチウム二次電池の電気化学的性能及び長期信頼性を有意に向上させるため、リチウム遷移金属酸化物の表面上に有機ホスフェートコーティング層を設けることを特徴とする。 The present invention suppresses the oxidative decomposition reaction between the positive electrode active material and the electrolytic solution and significantly improves the electrochemical performance and long-term reliability of the lithium secondary battery. It is characterized by providing a phosphate coating layer.
従来、有機ホスフェートは、電池の過充電時における安全性を向上させ、また、高温貯蔵特性、寿命特性などを高めるため、主にリチウム二次電池の電解液添加剤成分として使用されている。このような有機ホスフェートは、電池の作動範囲内で高い安定性を有するため、他の物質との化学反応を生じることなく電解液中で添加剤としての役割を果たすものとして存在しているため、正極活物質と電解液との副反応を抑制する効果を示すことは困難であった。 Conventionally, organic phosphates are mainly used as an electrolyte additive component in lithium secondary batteries in order to improve safety during battery overcharge and to enhance high-temperature storage characteristics, life characteristics, and the like. Since such organic phosphate has high stability within the operating range of the battery, it exists as a role as an additive in the electrolyte without causing a chemical reaction with other substances. It was difficult to show the effect of suppressing the side reaction between the positive electrode active material and the electrolytic solution.
なお、従来は、正極活物質の表面上に無機ホスフェート(例えば、リン酸など)コーティング層を形成することが行われているが、このような無機ホスフェートは、主に固状であるため、コーティング工程自体が容易でなく、たとえコーティング層が形成されても、正極活物質粒子表面への均一なコーティングが得られないという問題がある。例えば、リン酸の場合、コーティング工程において正極表面層にコーティングされる前、リン酸の酸(acid)成分と正極表面の塩基(base)成分とが相互反応して正極粒子同士のかたまりが発生し、コーティングの均一性が低下するという問題が生じている。それで、正極活物質と電解液との酸化分解反応を抑制して電池性能及び安全性を向上させるという効果が十分に得られていない。 Conventionally, an inorganic phosphate (for example, phosphoric acid) coating layer is formed on the surface of the positive electrode active material. However, since such inorganic phosphate is mainly solid, coating is performed. The process itself is not easy, and even if a coating layer is formed, there is a problem that a uniform coating on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles cannot be obtained. For example, in the case of phosphoric acid, before being coated on the positive electrode surface layer in the coating process, the acid component of phosphoric acid and the base component on the positive electrode surface interact with each other to cause a cluster of positive electrode particles. The problem is that the uniformity of the coating is reduced. Therefore, the effect of suppressing the oxidative decomposition reaction between the positive electrode active material and the electrolytic solution and improving the battery performance and safety is not sufficiently obtained.
これに対し、本発明では、有機物である有機ホスフェートを採択して正極活物質粒子の表面上に均一かつ薄いコーティング層を形成することにより、リチウムイオンの移動を妨げることなく、正極活物質と電解液との酸化分解反応を効果的に抑制することができ、よって、リチウム二次電池の電気化学的な性能及び長期信頼性を有意に向上させることができる。特に、本発明において採択した有機ホスフェートでは、正極表面との酸−塩基反応が発生しないため、正極粒子同士のかたまりが生じることなく、均一なコーティング層を形成することが可能であると共に、コーティング層の形成後、電解液との正極との間で副反応が起こるのを抑制し、持続的に正極活物質を保護する役割を果たす。 On the other hand, in the present invention, by adopting organic phosphate, which is an organic substance, and forming a uniform and thin coating layer on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, the positive electrode active material and the electrolysis can be electrolyzed without hindering the movement of lithium ions. The oxidative decomposition reaction with the liquid can be effectively suppressed, and thus the electrochemical performance and long-term reliability of the lithium secondary battery can be significantly improved. In particular, in the organic phosphate adopted in the present invention, an acid-base reaction with the surface of the positive electrode does not occur. Therefore, it is possible to form a uniform coating layer without causing a cluster of positive electrode particles, and a coating layer. After the formation, the side reaction between the electrolyte and the positive electrode is suppressed, and the positive electrode active material is continuously protected.
また、前記有機ホスフェートは、取り扱いが容易であるため、コーティング工程と製造工程において単純性及び経済性を高めることができる。 In addition, since the organic phosphate is easy to handle, it can improve simplicity and economy in the coating process and the manufacturing process.

本発明に係る正極活物質は、リチウムを吸蔵及び放出可能な正極活物質の粒子及び前記粒子の表面に形成された有機ホスフェートコーティング層を含む。

なお、前記有機ホスフェートコーティング層は、当業界で周知の有機ホスフェート化合物を制限無く使用して形成することができ、好ましくは、下記一般式(1)で示される化合物をコーティング及び熱処理して形成されるものであることができる。 The organic phosphate coating layer can be formed using any organic phosphate compound known in the art without limitation, and is preferably formed by coating and heat-treating a compound represented by the following general formula (1). Can be.
本発明において、前記R1〜R3は、互いに同一又は異なり、それぞれ独立に、炭素数1〜20のアルキル基、炭素数2〜20のアルケニル基、炭素数2〜20のアルキニル基、及び炭素数6〜20のアリール基からなる群から選択されるものであることが好ましい。このとき、R1〜R3は、それぞれ、ハロゲン、シアノ基及びC1〜C20のアルキル基からなる群から選択される1つ以上の置換基で置換されることができる。 In the present invention, R 1 to R 3 are the same as or different from each other, and each independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkynyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and carbon. It is preferably selected from the group consisting of several 6 to 20 aryl groups. At this time, each of R 1 to R 3 can be substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of a halogen, a cyano group, and a C 1 to C 20 alkyl group.
使用可能な有機ホスフェートとしては、例えば、トリメチルホスフェート、トリエチルホスフェート、トリプロピルホスフェート、トリブチルホスフェート、トリイソブチルホスフェート、トリペンチルホスフェート、トリフェニルホスフェート又はこれらの混合物などが挙げられるが、これらに制限されない。 Examples of the organic phosphate that can be used include, but are not limited to, trimethyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, tripropyl phosphate, tributyl phosphate, triisobutyl phosphate, tripentyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, and mixtures thereof.
前記有機ホスフェートは、リチウム遷移金属酸化物の粒子上にコーティングされた後、熱処理工程を経るようになるが、この熱処理によって、上記の一般式(1)で示される有機ホスフェート中のR1、R2、R3の一部が、正極表面のリチウム化合物と反応することで、有機リチウムホスフェート(有機リチウム化合物)に転換される。 The organic phosphate is coated on the lithium transition metal oxide particles and then undergoes a heat treatment step. By this heat treatment, R 1 , R in the organic phosphate represented by the above general formula (1) 2 , a part of R 3 reacts with the lithium compound on the surface of the positive electrode to be converted into organic lithium phosphate (organic lithium compound).
従来は、リン酸の場合、熱処理の後にリチウムホスフェートコーティング層が形成されているが、本発明では、熱処理の後、有機官能基(functional group)の一部が正極表面のリチウム源と反応することでリチウムを含有する有機ホスフェートコーティング層が形成されるようになる。このような有機ホスフェートコーティング層は、電池の充放電時において、リチウムイオンの移動を妨げることなく、正極活物質と電解液との副反応を抑制させ、正極活物質の劣化を防止し、持続的に正極活物質を保護することができる。 Conventionally, in the case of phosphoric acid, a lithium phosphate coating layer is formed after the heat treatment, but in the present invention, after the heat treatment, a part of the organic functional group (functional group) reacts with the lithium source on the positive electrode surface. As a result, an organic phosphate coating layer containing lithium is formed. Such an organic phosphate coating layer suppresses the side reaction between the positive electrode active material and the electrolytic solution and prevents the deterioration of the positive electrode active material without disturbing the movement of lithium ions at the time of charge / discharge of the battery. The positive electrode active material can be protected.
このとき、前記有機リチウムホスフェート結合を形成するリチウム源は、リチウム遷移金属酸化物中のリチウムイオンであるか、又は、前記酸化物の表面上に存在する残留リチウム化合物であることができる。即ち、リチウム遷移金属酸化物系正極活物質の表面には、遷移金属と酸化物を形成し残った残留リチウム化合物、例えば、酸化リチウム(Li2O)、水酸化リチウム(LiOH)、炭酸リチウム(Li2CO3)、リチウムカーバイド(Li2C)などが存在し得る。このような残留リチウム化合物は、二次電池内で電解質中の特定の物質と反応し、その反応物が正極活物質の表面上に蓄積され、リチウムイオンの移動を妨げることがあり得る。例えば、残留リチウム化合物は、電解質中のHFなどと反応してLiFを生成し、電池性能の低下を招来することがあり得る。本発明では、正極活物質上にコーティングされた有機ホスフェートコーティング層が、正極中のリチウム源と反応して有機リチウムホスフェートに転換されることで、表面上に残留して電池性能の低下を招来するおそれのあるリチウム化合物の量を減少させると共に、電解質との反応による表面劣化を抑制させる効果を発揮することもできる。 At this time, the lithium source for forming the organolithium phosphate bond may be a lithium ion in a lithium transition metal oxide or a residual lithium compound present on the surface of the oxide. That is, on the surface of the lithium transition metal oxide-based positive electrode active material, residual lithium compounds remaining after forming an oxide with the transition metal, such as lithium oxide (Li 2 O), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), lithium carbonate ( Li 2 CO 3 ), lithium carbide (Li 2 C), and the like may be present. Such a residual lithium compound may react with a specific substance in the electrolyte in the secondary battery, and the reaction product may accumulate on the surface of the positive electrode active material, thereby preventing the movement of lithium ions. For example, the residual lithium compound may react with HF or the like in the electrolyte to produce LiF, leading to a decrease in battery performance. In the present invention, the organic phosphate coating layer coated on the positive electrode active material reacts with the lithium source in the positive electrode and is converted to organic lithium phosphate, thereby remaining on the surface and causing a decrease in battery performance. In addition to reducing the amount of the lithium compound that may be feared, it is also possible to exert an effect of suppressing surface deterioration due to reaction with the electrolyte.

〔実験例1〕
[電気化学的性能評価]
実施例1〜2及び比較例1〜2でそれぞれ製造されたリチウム二次電池を用いて電気化学的性能の評価を行った。
[Experimental Example 1]
[Electrochemical performance evaluation]
The electrochemical performance was evaluated using the lithium secondary batteries produced in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, respectively.
なお、電気化学的性能評価は、1Cを基準に4.4V〜3.0Vの電圧領域において1Cを基準に充放電テストを100回行い、初期容量に対する容量維持率を測定した。
In addition, electrochemical performance evaluation performed the charge /
実験の結果、表面処理が行われていない比較例1および無機ホスフェートで表面が改質された比較例2の電池では、それぞれ63%以下の低い容量維持率を示した。なお、無機ホスフェートとしてリン酸のコーティングが行われた比較例2では、コーティング層の構成成分の差異、リン酸と正極表面との酸−塩基反応による正極粒子同士のかたまり現象、及びこれによるコーティングの不均一性によって電池性能向上効果が低いものと判断される。 As a result of the experiment, the batteries of Comparative Example 1 in which the surface treatment was not performed and Comparative Example 2 in which the surface was modified with inorganic phosphate exhibited a low capacity retention rate of 63% or less. In Comparative Example 2 in which phosphoric acid coating was performed as an inorganic phosphate, the difference in the components of the coating layer, the phenomenon of clumping of the positive electrode particles due to the acid-base reaction between phosphoric acid and the positive electrode surface, and the resulting coating It is judged that the battery performance improvement effect is low due to the non-uniformity.
これに対し、有機ホスフェートでコーティングされた正極活物質を備えた実施例1及び2の電池では、長期信頼性が顕著に向上することがわかる(表1及び図1参照)。特に、実施例1〜2の電池は、表面処理が行われていない比較例1の電池に比べて、約15〜20%以上容量維持率が向上し、無機ホスフェートでコーティングされた比較例2の電池に比べて、13から16%程度上昇効果が得られることが確認された。 On the other hand, it can be seen that the long-term reliability is remarkably improved in the batteries of Examples 1 and 2 including the positive electrode active material coated with organic phosphate (see Table 1 and FIG. 1). In particular, the batteries of Examples 1 and 2 had a capacity retention rate of about 15 to 20% or more improved compared to the battery of Comparative Example 1 in which the surface treatment was not performed, and the batteries of Comparative Example 2 coated with inorganic phosphate. It was confirmed that an increase effect of about 13 to 16% was obtained compared to the battery.
