Description

本発明は、黒鉛質材料を含有するリチウムイオン二次電池負極材料用複合粒子およびその製造方法、それを用いたリチウムイオン二次電池用負極材料および負極、ならびにそれを用いたリチウムイオン二次電池に関する。   The present invention relates to a composite particle for a negative electrode material for a lithium ion secondary battery containing a graphite material, a method for producing the same, a negative electrode material and a negative electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery using the same, and a lithium ion secondary battery using the same About.

他の二次電池に比べて高電圧、高エネルギー密度という優れた特性を有するリチウムイオン二次電池は、電子機器の電源として広く普及している。近年、電子機器の小型化あるいは高性能化が急速に進み、リチウムイオン二次電池のさらなる高エネルギー密度化に対する要望はますます高まっている。
現在、リチウムイオン二次電池は、正極にLiCoO2 、負極に黒鉛を用いたものが一般的である。しかし、黒鉛負極は充放電の可逆性に優れるものの、その放電容量はすでに層間化合物LiC6 に相当する理論値372mAh/g に近い値まで到達しており、さらなる高エネルギー密度化を達成するためには、黒鉛より放電容量の大きい負極材料を開発する必要がある。
Lithium ion secondary batteries having excellent characteristics of high voltage and high energy density compared to other secondary batteries are widely used as power sources for electronic devices. In recent years, miniaturization or performance enhancement of electronic devices has rapidly progressed, and there is an increasing demand for higher energy density of lithium ion secondary batteries.
At present, lithium ion secondary batteries generally use LiCoO 2 for the positive electrode and graphite for the negative electrode. However, although the graphite negative electrode is excellent in reversibility of charge and discharge, its discharge capacity has already reached a value close to the theoretical value 372 mAh / g corresponding to the intercalation compound LiC 6 , in order to achieve further higher energy density. Needs to develop a negative electrode material having a larger discharge capacity than graphite.

金属リチウムは負極材料として最高の放電容量を有するが、充電時にリチウムがデンドライト状に析出して負極が劣化し、充放電サイクルが短くなるという問題がある。また、デンドライト状に析出したリチウムがセパレータを貫通して正極に達し、短絡する可能性もある。
そのため、金属リチウムに代わる負極材料として、リチウムと合金を形成する金属または金属化合物が検討されてきた。これらの合金負極は、金属リチウムには及ばないものの黒鉛を遥かにしのぐ放電容量を有する。しかし、合金化に伴う体積膨張により活物質の粉化・剥離が発生し、未だ実用レベルのサイクル特性は得られていない。
Although metallic lithium has the highest discharge capacity as a negative electrode material, there is a problem that lithium is deposited in a dendritic state during charging, the negative electrode is deteriorated, and the charge / discharge cycle is shortened. In addition, lithium deposited in a dendrite shape may penetrate the separator and reach the positive electrode, causing a short circuit.
Therefore, a metal or a metal compound that forms an alloy with lithium has been studied as a negative electrode material that replaces metallic lithium. These alloy negative electrodes have discharge capacities far surpassing that of graphite, though not as much as metallic lithium. However, active materials are pulverized and peeled off due to volume expansion accompanying alloying, and a practical level of cycle characteristics has not yet been obtained.

前述のような合金負極の欠点を解決するため、金属または金属化合物と黒鉛質物または炭素質物のどちらか一方または両方との複合化が検討されている。
特許文献1には、金属または金属材料と、黒鉛材料および炭素材料からなる複合材料を電極材料として用いることが開示されている。この複合材料において、該炭素材料は、金属物質と黒鉛材料を結合または被覆する役割を担う。また、これは、アルゴンレーザーを用いたラマン分光法により測定した該炭素材料の表面のDバンド1360cm-1ピーク強度IDと、Gバンド1580cm-1ピーク強度IGの比ID/IG(=R値)は0.4以上、つまり該炭素材料が黒鉛化されていないことを示すことが開示されている。しかし、炭素材料が複合材料の内部に浸透している場合、該金属または金属化合物の周囲に膨張を緩衝する空隙を確保することができず、複合粒子構造の破壊によるサイクル特性の低下を招く場合がある。
In order to solve the drawbacks of the alloy negative electrode as described above, a composite of a metal or a metal compound and one or both of a graphite material and a carbonaceous material has been studied.
Patent Document 1 discloses that a metal or a metal material and a composite material made of a graphite material and a carbon material are used as an electrode material. In this composite material, the carbon material plays a role of bonding or covering a metal substance and a graphite material. This is also the ratio ID / IG (= R value) of the D band 1360 cm −1 peak intensity ID of the surface of the carbon material measured by Raman spectroscopy using an argon laser and the G band 1580 cm −1 peak intensity IG. Is disclosed to be 0.4 or more, which indicates that the carbon material is not graphitized. However, when the carbon material penetrates into the inside of the composite material, it is not possible to secure voids for buffering the expansion around the metal or metal compound, resulting in deterioration of cycle characteristics due to destruction of the composite particle structure There is.

特許文献2には、シリコン含有粒子と炭素含有粒子とからなる多孔性粒子を炭素で被覆した負極材料が開示されている。なお、該炭素含有粒子は一種の黒鉛材料に相当する。この技術の例では、負極材料を積極的に多孔質化したにもかかわらず、シリコンとリチウムが合金化する際の体積膨張により、負極材料の破壊が起こり、やはり満足できるサイクル特性は得られない。さらに、炭素含有粒子(黒鉛材料)が1μm以下と小さく、電解液の分解反応を生じやすいため、電解液の分解反応に由来する初期充放電効率の低下が顕在化する場合がある。   Patent Document 2 discloses a negative electrode material in which porous particles composed of silicon-containing particles and carbon-containing particles are coated with carbon. The carbon-containing particles correspond to a kind of graphite material. In this example of technology, the anode material is destroyed due to volume expansion when silicon and lithium are alloyed even though the anode material is positively made porous, and satisfactory cycle characteristics cannot be obtained. . Furthermore, since the carbon-containing particles (graphite material) are as small as 1 μm or less and easily cause a decomposition reaction of the electrolytic solution, a decrease in the initial charge / discharge efficiency resulting from the decomposition reaction of the electrolytic solution may become apparent.

以下、本発明をより具体的に説明する。
(複合粒子)
本発明のリチウムイオン二次電池負極材料用複合粒子は、主にシリコン粒子、黒鉛質材料および炭素質材料からなる複合粒子である。該複合粒子は、複数のシリコン粒子を分散して包含し、複数の大小の空隙を分散して含有しており、該各空隙の少なくとも一部が該各シリコン粒子の周辺に存在している。そして複合粒子の周辺が炭素質材料で包囲される構造である。なお、複合粒子の形状は不特定であり、その大きさは3〜50μm程度のものが製造可能であり、特に制限されるものではない。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically.
(Composite particles)
The composite particles for a lithium ion secondary battery negative electrode material of the present invention are composite particles mainly composed of silicon particles , a graphite material, and a carbonaceous material. The composite particles contain a plurality of silicon particles in a dispersed manner and contain a plurality of large and small voids in a dispersed manner, and at least a part of the voids are present around the silicon particles . And it is the structure where the circumference | surroundings of a composite particle are surrounded by a carbonaceous material. In addition, the shape of the composite particles is not specified, and those having a size of about 3 to 50 μm can be manufactured, and are not particularly limited.

本発明の複合粒子において、シリコン粒子周辺の空隙とは、該シリコン粒子の表面の少なくとも一部に直接接して存在する空隙である。該シリコン粒子の表面の少なくとも一部に直接接して存在する空隙でなければ、シリコン粒子の膨張を吸収できず、負極材料として用いたときにサイクル特性の向上が不十分となる。該空隙は金属の種類により変動するので一様には言えないが、金属がシリコンの場合には、シリコン粒子の中心から、シリコン粒子が球状である場合には半径の、球状ではない場合には、その体積に相当する球とみなしてその半径の

の距離にある領域内に存在するものである。 In the composite particles of the present invention, the voids around the silicon particles, voids present in direct contact with at least part of the surface of the silicon particles. Unless the voids are in direct contact with at least part of the surface of the silicon particles, the expansion of the silicon particles cannot be absorbed, and the cycle characteristics are not sufficiently improved when used as a negative electrode material. The air gap can not be said to uniformly be used depend on the type of metal, in the case of metal silicon, when the center of the silicon particles, the radius of the case the silicon particles are spherical, non-spherical , The sphere corresponding to its volume

It exists in the area | region in the distance.

本発明の複合粒子の全空隙に対する、シリコン粒子周辺の空隙の割合は48%以上でなければならない。48%未満では、シリコン粒子がリチウムと合金を形成したときの膨張を吸収することができないからである。より好ましくは48〜100%、さらに好ましくは50〜100%である。
また、複合粒子全体の空隙の割合は3〜50%であることが好ましい。3%未満であると、シリコン粒子がリチウムと合金を形成した時の膨張を吸収できない場合があり、50%を超えると複合粒子の強度が不足する場合がある。
The ratio of the voids around the silicon particles to the total voids of the composite particles of the present invention must be 48% or more. If it is less than 48%, the silicon particles cannot absorb the expansion when they form an alloy with lithium. More preferably, it is 48-100%, More preferably, it is 50-100%.
Moreover, it is preferable that the ratio of the space | gap of the whole composite particle is 3 to 50%. If it is less than 3%, silicon particles may not be able to absorb expansion when forming an alloy with lithium, and if it exceeds 50%, the strength of the composite particles may be insufficient.

本発明の複合粒子の主要成分の好適組成(質量比)は、複合粒子全体を100としたとき、シリコン粒子:黒鉛質材料:炭素質材料=1〜20:30〜95:4〜50の範囲であり、好ましくは2〜10:60〜93:5〜30の範囲である。
シリコン粒子の組成が該範囲より少ないと、該複合粒子を含む負極材料をリチウムイオン二次電池に用いたときに、該電池の放電容量の向上効果が小さいことがあり、逆に該範囲より多くなると、該電池のサイクル特性の改良効果が小さくなることがある。
黒鉛質材料の組成が前記範囲を逸脱すると、シリコン粒子の周辺に空隙を形成することが困難になる。
また炭素質材料の組成が該範囲を逸脱すると充放電効率やサイクル特性の改良効果が十分とは言えないことがある。
The preferred composition (mass ratio) of the main components of the composite particles of the present invention is as follows: silicon particles : graphitic material: carbonaceous material = 1 to 20:30 to 95: 4 to 50 when the total composite particles are 100 Preferably, it is the range of 2-10: 60-93: 5-30.
When the composition of the silicon particles is less than the above range, when the negative electrode material containing the composite particles is used for a lithium ion secondary battery, the effect of improving the discharge capacity of the battery may be small. As a result, the effect of improving the cycle characteristics of the battery may be reduced.
If the composition of the graphite material deviates from the above range, it becomes difficult to form voids around the silicon particles .
In addition, if the composition of the carbonaceous material deviates from this range, the effect of improving charge / discharge efficiency and cycle characteristics may not be sufficient.

本発明の複合粒子の全空隙の容積は、例えば、粉砕して断面を露出させた複合粒子を水銀ポロシメータで測定することにより得られる。また、それから、複合粒子全体の空隙率(容積率)が計算される。
本発明の複合粒子全体の全空隙に対するシリコン粒子周辺の空隙の割合は、50個の複合粒子の断面の、走査型電子顕微鏡写真(倍率400倍)について測定した全空隙面積と、全シリコン粒子周辺の空隙の面積から得られる、複合粒子全体の全空隙に対するシリコン粒子周辺の空隙の割合(面積率)の50個の平均値である。
The total void volume of the composite particles of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by measuring the composite particles that have been crushed to expose the cross section with a mercury porosimeter. Then, the porosity (volume ratio) of the entire composite particle is calculated.
Ratio of void around the silicon particles to the total air gap of the whole composite particles of the present invention, the cross-section of 50 of the composite particle, and the total gap area measured for a scanning electron microscope photograph (400 magnifications), the total silicon particles around The average value of 50 void ratios (area ratios) around the silicon particles with respect to the total voids of the entire composite particle, obtained from the area of the voids.

本発明の複合粒子において、前記空隙が前記シリコン粒子の周辺に存在しているので、リチウムイオン二次電池のサイクル特性が改良される。これは、充放電時における該シリコン粒子の膨張、収縮が該空隙によって緩衝され、該複合粒子を含む負極材料の構造破壊が抑制されるためと考えられる。つまり、例え、シリコン粒子自体が粉化した場合でも、該負極材料全体としての複合粒子の形態が維持されるため、該各複合粒子間の接触が保たれ、集電性が損なわれることはなく、サイクル特性の低下を抑制することが可能になるものと推定される。 In the composite particles of the present invention, since the voids are present around the silicon particles , the cycle characteristics of the lithium ion secondary battery are improved. This is presumably because the expansion and contraction of the silicon particles during charge / discharge are buffered by the voids, and the structural breakdown of the negative electrode material containing the composite particles is suppressed. In other words, even when the silicon particles themselves are pulverized, the shape of the composite particles as the whole negative electrode material is maintained, so that the contact between the composite particles is maintained, and the current collecting performance is not impaired. It is presumed that it becomes possible to suppress a decrease in cycle characteristics.

(複合粒子の製造)
本発明は、シリコン粒子、黒鉛質材料、および炭素質材料の前駆体を含有する混合物を用いて、空隙の少なくとも一部が該シリコン粒子の周辺に存在する複合粒子を製造し得る方法であれば、いかなる方法によって製造されても差し支えない。炭素質材料の前駆体は溶融、分散または溶解して用いることもできる。
(Manufacture of composite particles)
The present invention is a method capable of producing composite particles in which at least a part of voids exist around the silicon particles using a mixture containing silicon particles , a graphite material, and a precursor of a carbonaceous material. It can be manufactured by any method. The precursor of the carbonaceous material can be used after being melted, dispersed or dissolved.

シリコン粒子、黒鉛質材料ならびに炭素質材料の前駆体AおよびBの好適組成(質量比)は、複合粒子全体を100としたとき、シリコン粒子:黒鉛質材料:炭素質材料=1〜20:30〜95:4〜50の範囲であり、好ましくは1〜15:35〜95:4〜50の範囲であり、さらに好ましくは2〜10:60〜93:5〜30の範囲となるような組成で配合される。具体的にはシリコン粒子:黒鉛質材料:炭素質材料A:炭素質材料B=1〜15:35〜95:2〜50:2〜40の範囲であり、好ましくは2〜10:60〜93:3〜30:2〜30の範囲である。
シリコン粒子が該範囲より少ないと、該複合粒子を含む負極材料をリチウムイオン二次電池に用いたときに、該電池の放電容量の向上効果が小さいことがあり、逆に該範囲より多くなると該電池のサイクル特性の改良効果が小さくなることがある。
炭素質材料Aが該範囲より少ないと、サイクル特性の改良効果が十分でないことがあり、逆に該範囲より多いと、充放電効率の改良効果が十分でないことがある。
また炭素質材料Bが該範囲より少ないと、充放電効率の改良効果が十分でないことがあり、逆に該範囲より多いと、サイクル特性の改良効果が十分でないことがある。
The preferred composition (mass ratio) of the silicon particles , the graphite material, and the precursors A and B of the carbonaceous material is as follows: silicon particles : graphitic material: carbonaceous material = 1-20: 30 To 95: 4 to 50, preferably 1 to 15:35 to 95: 4 to 50, and more preferably 2 to 10:60 to 93: 5 to 30. It is blended with. Specifically, silicon particles : graphitic material: carbonaceous material A: carbonaceous material B = 1 to 15:35 to 95: 2 to 50: 2 to 40, preferably 2 to 10:60 to 93. : 3 to 30: 2 to 30.
If the silicon particles are less than this range, when the negative electrode material containing the composite particles is used in a lithium ion secondary battery, the effect of improving the discharge capacity of the battery may be small. The effect of improving the cycle characteristics of the battery may be reduced.
If the carbonaceous material A is less than this range, the effect of improving the cycle characteristics may not be sufficient, and conversely if it is more than the range, the effect of improving the charge / discharge efficiency may not be sufficient.
On the other hand, if the carbonaceous material B is less than the range, the effect of improving the charge / discharge efficiency may not be sufficient, and conversely if it is more than the range, the effect of improving the cycle characteristics may not be sufficient.

本発明の複合粒子の製造方法は、シリコン粒子と、黒鉛質材料および残炭率の相対的に低い炭素質材料Aの前駆体を混合し、得られた複合粒子にさらに残炭率の相対的に高い炭素質材料Bの前駆体を混合し、加熱する方法である。この製造方法において、熱処理は、複合粒子の炭素質材料AおよびBが実質的に揮発物を含有しない状態になることが可能な温度で行うことが好ましい。 In the method for producing composite particles of the present invention, silicon particles , a graphite material, and a precursor of carbonaceous material A having a relatively low residual carbon ratio are mixed.

ただし、1500℃以上では炭素とシリコンが反応してSiCを生成するため、加熱温度は1500℃未満とする必要がある。1000〜1200℃であることが好ましい。また、適宜、分散媒を用いて混合することが好ましい。分散媒は、炭素質材料A、Bの前駆体が軟化、分解しない温度以下で除去することが好ましい。
The precursor is carbonized by heat treatment at a temperature of 600 ° C. or higher, preferably 800 ° C. or higher, and conductivity is imparted to the carbonaceous material. The heat treatment may be performed several times stepwise, or may be performed in the presence of a catalyst. Moreover, you may carry out in any atmosphere of oxidizing gas and non-oxidizing gas.
However, since the carbon and silicon react to generate SiC at 1500 ° C. or higher, the heating temperature needs to be lower than 1500 ° C. It is preferable that it is 1000-1200 degreeC. Moreover, it is preferable to mix using a dispersion medium suitably. It is preferable to remove the dispersion medium at a temperature not higher than the temperature at which the precursors of the carbonaceous materials A and B are not softened or decomposed.

また、熱処理の前後のいずれかの段階で、適宜、粉砕、篩い分け、分級による微粉除去などの粒度調整を行うことが好ましい。なお、比較的低温で熱処理し、前記複合体が柔軟性を有する状態で、複合体を転がす操作や高い剪断力を付与する操作を加えることにより、複合体が球状に近い形状となり、特に黒鉛材料の一つとして鱗片状黒鉛を使用する場合は、該鱗片状黒鉛が同心円状に配置されやすくなり好ましい。このような操作が可能な装置としては、GRANUREX[フロイント産業(株)製]、ニューグラマシン[(株)セイシン企業製]、アグロマスター[ホソカワミクロン(株)製]などの造粒機、ロールミル、ハイブリダイゼーションシステム[(株)奈良機械製作所製]、メカノマイクロシステム[(株)奈良機械製作所製]、メカノフュージョンシステム[ホソカワミクロン(株)製]などの圧縮剪断式加工装置などであり、これらを使用することができる。   Further, it is preferable to adjust the particle size such as pulverization, sieving, and fine powder removal by classification at any stage before and after the heat treatment. In addition, when the heat treatment is performed at a relatively low temperature and the composite is flexible, an operation of rolling the composite or an operation of applying a high shearing force is applied, so that the composite becomes a nearly spherical shape, particularly a graphite material. When scaly graphite is used as one of the above, it is preferable because the scaly graphite is easily arranged concentrically. As a device capable of such operations, granulators such as GRANUREX [manufactured by Freund Sangyo Co., Ltd.], Newgra Machine [manufactured by Seishin Enterprise], Agromaster [manufactured by Hosokawa Micron Co., Ltd.], roll mill, high These are compression shear type processing devices such as hybridization systems [made by Nara Machinery Co., Ltd.], mechano microsystems [made by Nara Machinery Co., Ltd.], mechano fusion systems [made by Hosokawa Micron Co., Ltd.], etc. be able to.

(炭素質材料)
炭素質材料は導電性を有し、シリコン粒子と黒鉛質材料とを結着するものであり、結着剤として不可欠な成分であり、前駆体を熱処理して得ることができる。炭素質材料の前駆体の種類は問わないが、本発明においては、炭素化後の炭素質材料の残炭率が異なる2種以上を使用する必要がある。残炭率が異なるとは、相対的に好ましくは数%以上、より好ましくは10%以上異なることを意味する。ここで、残炭率とは、JIS K2425の固定炭素法に準拠し、800℃に加熱し、実質的に全量が炭素化されたときの残分を言い、百分率で表す。
(Carbonaceous material)
The carbonaceous material has conductivity, and binds silicon particles and the graphite material, and is an indispensable component as a binder, and can be obtained by heat-treating the precursor. Although the kind of precursor of carbonaceous material is not ask | required, in this invention, it is necessary to use 2 or more types from which the carbon residue of the carbonaceous material after carbonization differs. The difference in the remaining charcoal rate means that it is relatively preferably several percent or more, more preferably 10% or more. Here, the residual carbon ratio is based on the fixed carbon method of JIS K2425, and refers to the residual when the entire amount is carbonized by heating to 800 ° C. The percentage is expressed as a percentage.

炭素質材料の前駆体は、タールピッチ類および/または樹脂類であることが好ましい。タールピッチ類は相対的に炭素化後の空隙量が少ないので、炭素質材料Bの前駆体(つまり残炭率の相対的に高い炭素質材料の前駆体)として好ましく用いられる。一方、樹脂類は、相対的に炭素化後の空隙量が多くなるので、炭素質材料Aの前駆体(つまり残炭率の相対的に低い炭素質材料の前駆体)として好ましい。具体的には、石油系または石炭系のタールピッチ類として、コールタール、タール軽油、タール中油、タール重油、ナフタリン油、アントラセン油、コールタールピッチ、ピッチ油、メソフェーズピッチ、酸素架橋石油ピッチ、ヘビーオイルなどが挙げられる。また樹脂類として、ポリビニルアルコールなどの熱可塑性樹脂、フェノール樹脂、フラン樹脂などが挙げられる。例えば、炭素質材料Aの前駆体としては、残炭率が10〜50%のフェノール樹脂を、炭素質材料Bの前駆体としては、残炭率が50〜90%のコールタールピッチを用いることが好ましい。   The precursor of the carbonaceous material is preferably tar pitches and / or resins. Tar pitches are preferably used as a precursor of the carbonaceous material B (that is, a precursor of a carbonaceous material having a relatively high residual carbon ratio) because the amount of voids after carbonization is relatively small. On the other hand, since the amount of voids after carbonization is relatively large, resins are preferable as a precursor of the carbonaceous material A (that is, a precursor of a carbonaceous material having a relatively low residual carbon ratio). Specifically, as petroleum-based or coal-based tar pitches, coal tar, tar light oil, tar medium oil, tar heavy oil, naphthalene oil, anthracene oil, coal tar pitch, pitch oil, mesophase pitch, oxygen-crosslinked petroleum pitch, heavy Examples include oil. Examples of the resins include thermoplastic resins such as polyvinyl alcohol, phenol resins, and furan resins. For example, a phenol resin having a residual carbon ratio of 10 to 50% is used as the precursor of the carbonaceous material A, and a coal tar pitch having a residual carbon ratio of 50 to 90% is used as the precursor of the carbonaceous material B. Is preferred.

残炭率が相対的に低い炭素質材料Aの前駆体は、加熱後の炭素質材料に多くの空隙を生じさせるので、主にシリコン粒子周辺の空隙形成の役割を担う。一方、残炭率が相対的に高い炭素質材料Bの前駆体は、加熱後の炭素質材料に発生する空隙が少なく、緻密な炭素質材料を形成することができるので、主に複合粒子の最表層を形成し、複合粒子を包囲する役割を担う。その結果、これを含有する負極材料を用いたリチウムイオン二次電池の不可逆容量の低減(初期充放電効率の向上)が可能になる。したがって、本発明の複合粒子の製造過程において、炭素質材料Aの前駆体を先に、シリコン粒子や黒鉛質材料と混合して複合化した後、炭素質材料Bの前駆体を混合して、複合化する必要がある。 Since the precursor of the carbonaceous material A having a relatively low residual carbon ratio generates many voids in the heated carbonaceous material, it mainly plays a role of void formation around the silicon particles . On the other hand, the precursor of the carbonaceous material B having a relatively high residual carbon ratio has few voids generated in the carbonaceous material after heating and can form a dense carbonaceous material. It forms the outermost layer and plays the role of surrounding the composite particles. As a result, it is possible to reduce the irreversible capacity (improvement of initial charge / discharge efficiency) of a lithium ion secondary battery using a negative electrode material containing the same. Therefore, in the production process of the composite particles of the present invention, the precursor of the carbonaceous material A is first mixed with the silicon particles and the graphite material, and then the precursor of the carbonaceous material B is mixed. Need to be compounded.

炭素質材料A、Bの前駆体の残炭率の高低が逆の場合、すなわち、炭素質材料A、Bの前駆体の混合順序が前記と逆の場合には、空隙の形成も、最表層の形成も不完全なものになり、これを負極材料に用いてなるリチウムイオン二次電池のサイクル特性と初期充放電容量の改良効果が得られない。また、該炭素質材料が1種類の炭素質材料の前駆体のみに由来する場合には、その残炭率に実質的な差がないので、該空隙の形成、または不可逆容量の低減のいずれか一方の効果しか得られない。   When the remaining carbon ratio of the precursors of the carbonaceous materials A and B is reversed, that is, when the mixing order of the precursors of the carbonaceous materials A and B is opposite to the above, the formation of voids is also the outermost layer. As a result, the cycle characteristics and the initial charge / discharge capacity of the lithium ion secondary battery using this as a negative electrode material cannot be improved. Further, when the carbonaceous material is derived from only one type of carbonaceous material precursor, there is no substantial difference in the residual carbon ratio, so either the formation of the voids or the reduction of the irreversible capacity Only one effect can be obtained.

The metal that can be alloyed with lithium is Si. Furthermore, compounds of silicon (Si), because the volume expansion due to alloying with lithium is smaller than the silicon particles, some oxides of silicon particles, nitride, may be a compound such as a carbide. Preferred is silicon oxide. When silicon particles and a silicon compound are used in combination, the silicon compound is preferably 10 to 95% by mass with respect to the total amount.

使用される可塑剤としては、前記の電解質塩や非水溶媒が使用できる。高分子ゲル電解質の場合、可塑剤である非水電解液中の電解質塩濃度は0.1〜5mol /lが好ましく、0.5〜2.0mol/l がより好ましい。
When the nonaqueous electrolyte is a polymer electrolyte such as a polymer solid electrolyte or a polymer gel electrolyte, a polymer compound gelled with a plasticizer (nonaqueous electrolyte) is used as a matrix. Examples of the matrix polymer compound include ether-based resins such as polyethylene oxide and cross-linked products thereof, polymethacrylate-based resins, polyacrylate-based resins, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymers. Fluorine resins can be used alone or in combination.
Among these, from the viewpoint of oxidation-reduction stability, it is preferable to use a fluorine-based resin such as polyvinylidene fluoride or vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer.
As the plasticizer to be used, the above electrolyte salt or non-aqueous solvent can be used. In the case of a polymer gel electrolyte, the electrolyte salt concentration in the non-aqueous electrolyte as a plasticizer is preferably from 0.1 to 5 mol / l, more preferably from 0.5 to 2.0 mol / l.

高分子電解質中の非水溶媒の割合は10〜90質量%が好ましく、30〜80質量%がより好ましい。10質量%未満であると、導電率が低くなり、90質量%を超えると、機械的強度が弱くなり、成膜化しにくい。
The production of the polymer electrolyte is not particularly limited. For example, a method of mixing a polymer compound constituting a matrix, a lithium salt and a non-aqueous solvent (plasticizer) and heating to melt and dissolve the polymer compound, for mixing A method in which a polymer compound, a lithium salt, and a non-aqueous solvent are dissolved in an organic solvent, and then the organic solvent for mixing is evaporated. A polymerizable monomer, a lithium salt, and a non-aqueous solvent are mixed. Alternatively, a method of polymerizing a polymerizable monomer by irradiating a molecular beam or the like to obtain a polymer compound can be exemplified.
The ratio of the nonaqueous solvent in the polymer electrolyte is preferably 10 to 90% by mass, and more preferably 30 to 80% by mass. If it is less than 10% by mass, the electrical conductivity will be low, and if it exceeds 90% by mass, the mechanical strength will be weak and it will be difficult to form a film.

This is presumably because the structure of the composite particles was destroyed by the expansion / contraction of the silicon particles during charge / discharge, resulting in a decrease in conductivity and separation of the active material from the current collector.
