Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、二次電池としての初期放電容量を維持し、且つ、高温下での充放電サイクル特性が改善された非水電解質二次電池を得ることができる正極活物質を提供する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、AV機器やパソコン等の電子機器のポータブル化、コードレス化が急速に進んでおり、これらの駆動用電源として小型、軽量で高エネルギー密度を有する二次電池への要求が高くなっている。このような状況下において、充放電電圧が高く、充放電容量も大きいという長所を有するリチウムイオン二次電池が注目されている。
【0003】
従来、4V級の電圧をもつ高エネルギー型のリチウムイオン二次電池に有用な正極活物質としては、スピネル型構造のLiMn、岩塩型構造のLiMnO、LiCoO、LiCo1−XNi、LiNiO等が一般的に知られており、なかでもLiCoOは高い充放電電圧と充放電容量を有する点で優れているが、更なる特性改善が求められている。
【0004】
即ち、ノートパソコンなど二次電池で作動する装置はその使用に伴って高温になるため、二次電池として高温下での充放電サイクル特性に優れることが要求される。また、LiCoOは高い電圧で作動することができるが、高電圧のため電解液との反応が起こりやすく、充放電サイクル特性が低下しやすい。
【0005】
そこで、高温下での充放電サイクル特性に優れたLiCoOが要求されている。
【0006】
従来、コバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末の諸特性改善のために、コバルト酸リチウム粒子表面をチタン化合物で被覆する方法(特開平4−329267号公報、特開平8−102332号公報、特開平2000−200605号公報等)、コバルト酸リチウム粒子中にチタンを含有させる方法(特開平6−44974号公報等)、正極活物質としてコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末とリチウムチタン複合酸化物(LiTi)との混合物を用いる方法(特開平7−288124号公報)が知られており、また、コバルト酸リチウム粒子表面を、リン、ホウ素、酸化ジルコニウム、酸化サマリウムなどで被覆する方法(特許第3054829号公報、特許第3044812号公報、特許第2855877号公報、特許第3003431号公報等)が知られている。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記諸特性を満たす正極活物質は現在最も要求されいるところであるが、未だ得られていない。
【0008】
即ち、前出特開平4−329267号公報には、コバルト酸リチウム粒子表面をチタンカップリング剤で表面処理した後、熱処理する方法が記載されているが、添加したチタン原子がコバルト酸リチウム粒子の内部方向に拡散して表面近傍にチタン添加表面層が形成されるため、電解液との反応を抑制する効果を得ることができず、高温下での充放電サイクル特性が十分とは言い難いものである。また、カップリング剤は高価なため工業的生産性に優れるとは言い難いものである。
【0009】
前出特開平8−102332号公報には、コバルト酸リチウム粒子表面の一部にチタン酸化物などの低活性酸化物を分散保持させることが記載されているが、コバルト酸リチウム粒子表面に保持されているチタン酸化物の結合力が弱いので、高温下での充放電サイクル特性が十分とは言い難いものである。
【0010】
前出特開平2000−200605号公報にはコバルト酸リチウム粒子表面にチタン粒子及び/又はチタン化合物粒子を付着させる方法が記載されているが、コバルト酸リチウム粒子とチタン化合物粒子とを乾式混合した場合には、チタン化合物粒子の混合が不均一となり付着するチタン化合物粒子の偏在箇所が発生するため、高温下での充放電サイクル特性が十分とは言い難いものである。
【0011】
前出特開平6−44974号公報にはリチウムコバルト酸化物とチタン酸化物との混合物を焼成してLi1.4(Co0.7Ti0.3を得る方法が記載されているが、初期充放電容量が低下し、また、電解液との反応を抑制する効果が得られないため、高温下での充放電サイクル特性が十分とは言い難いものである。
【0012】
前出特開平7−288124号公報には、コバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末とリチウムチタン複合酸化物(LiTi)との混合物を正極活物質として用いる方法が記載されているが、リチウムチタン酸複合酸化物を存在させるだけでは、電解液との反応を抑制する効果が得られないため、高温下での充放電サイクル特性が向上するとは言い難いものである。
【0013】
また、前出チタン化合物以外の異種元素(リン、ホウ素、酸化ジルコニウム、酸化サマリウムなど)で被覆した場合には、電解液との反応を抑制することが困難なため、高温下での充放電サイクル特性が十分とは言い難いものである。
【0014】
そこで、本発明は、初期放電容量に優れ、且つ、高温下での充放電サイクル特性に優れた正極活物質を得ることを技術的課題とする。
【0015】
【課題を解決する為の手段】
前記技術的課題は、次の通りの本発明によって達成できる。
【0016】
即ち、本発明は、非水電解質二次電池用正極活物質の製造法であって、コバルト酸リチウム粒子を分散させた水溶液のpHを調整し、次いでチタニウム塩を添加して、微細な水酸化チタニウムコロイドをコバルト酸リチウム粒子の粒子表面に吸着させた後、ろ過、水洗、乾燥して水酸化チタニウムコロイドを吸着させたコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末を得、次いで、該コバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末を酸化雰囲気中、500℃〜700℃の温度範囲で熱処理して非水電解質二次電池用正極活物質を得るものであり、得られる非水電解質二次電池用正極活物質は、コバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末の粒子表面の一部に酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムが被覆されており、前記酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムの被覆量がコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末中のコバルトに対しTiとして2.0〜4.0mol%であり、BET比表面積が0.1〜1.5m/gであることを特徴とする非水電解質二次電池用正極活物質の製造法である。
【0018】
また、本発明は、前記非水電解質二次電池用正極活物質の製造方法によって得られた非水電解質二次電池用正極活物質を用いた非水電解質二次電池である。
【0019】
本発明の構成をより詳しく説明すれば次の通りである。
【0020】
先ず、本発明に係る正極活物質について述べる。
【0021】
本発明に係る正極活物質は、コバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末の粒子表面の一部が酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムで被覆されている。
【0022】
本発明においては、酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムはコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末の粒子表面の一部を被覆しており、酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムがコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末の粒子表面全体を被覆した場合には、初期放電容量が低下する。酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムの含有量はTi換算でコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末のコバルトに対して2.0〜4.0mol%である。2.0mol%以下の場合にはサイクル容量維持率向上の効果が小さく、4.0mol%を超える場合には初期放電容量が著しく低下する。好ましくは2.1〜3.5mol%、より好ましくは2.2〜3.0mol%である。
【0023】
本発明に係る正極活物質の平均粒子径は1.0〜10μmが好ましい。平均粒子径が1.0μm未満の場合には、充填密度の低下や電解液との反応性が増加するため好ましくない。10μmを超える場合には、工業的に生産することが困難となる。
【0024】
本発明に係る正極活物質のBET比表面積は0.1〜1.5m/gが好ましい。BET比表面積値が0.1m/g未満の場合には、工業的に生産することが困難となる。1.5m/gを超える場合には充填密度の低下や電解液との反応性が増加するため好ましくない。
【0025】
本発明に係る正極活物質の格子定数はa軸長が2.81〜2.82Å、c軸長が14.045〜14.065Åであることが好ましい。
【0026】
次に、本発明に係る正極活物質の製造法について述べる。
【0027】
本発明に係る正極活物質は、コバルト酸リチウム粒子を分散させた水溶液にアルカリ塩を添加し、次いで、チタニウム塩を添加して微細な水酸化チタニウムコロイドをコバルト酸リチウムの粒子表面に吸着させ、ろ過、水洗、乾燥して水酸化チタニウムコロイドを吸着させたコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末を得、次いで、該コバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末を酸化雰囲気中において500〜700℃で熱処理することで得られる。
【0028】
本発明におけるコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末は、通常の方法で得られるものであって、例えば、リチウム化合物とコバルト化合物を混合して加熱処理して得る固相法や、溶液中でリチウム化合物とコバルト化合物を反応させてコバルト酸リチウム粒子を得る湿式法のいずれの方法で得られたものでもよい。
【0029】
コバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末は、平均粒子径が1.0〜10μm、BET比表面積値が0.1〜1.5m/g、Li/Co比が0.95〜1.05、格子定数がa軸長2.81〜2.82Å、c軸長14.045〜14.065Åであることが好ましい。
【0030】
アルカリ塩としては、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム、水酸化リチウム等を用いることができる。殊に、水酸化リチウムを用いた場合には、添加量と水洗度合いを調整することで、リチウムイオンを含有する水酸化チタニウムコロイドを得ることができ、熱処理を経ることでチタン酸リチウム又はチタン酸リチウムと酸化チタンとの混合物とすることができる。
【0031】
アルカリ塩を添加した後に、チタニウム塩を添加する。
【0032】
チタニウム塩としては、塩化チタン、硫酸チタン等を用いることができる。
【0033】
チタニウム塩の添加量は、コバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末のコバルトに対して2.0〜4.0mol%であることが好ましい。
【0034】
チタニウム塩を添加することによって水溶液のpHを10.0〜12.0にすることが好ましい。水溶液のpHが前記範囲外の場合には微細な水酸化チタニウムコロイドを生成・吸着させることが困難となる。
【0035】
熱処理の雰囲気としては、酸化雰囲気であり、好ましくは大気中である。熱処理温度としては、500〜700℃であることが好ましい。500℃未満の場合には水酸化チタニウム水和物が残存し、700℃を超える場合には、粒子間の焼結が進行したり、チタン原子がコバルト酸リチウム粒子の内部方向に拡散するため好ましくない。保持時間は、1〜5時間が好ましい。1時間より短い場合には分解反応が不十分であり、5時間より長い場合には生産性とコストの面から好ましくない。
【0036】
本発明に係る正極活物質を用いて正極を製造する場合には、常法に従って、導電剤と結着剤とを添加混合する。導電剤としてはアセチレンブラック、カーボンブラック、黒鉛等が好ましく、結着剤としてはポリテトラフルオロエチレン、ポリフッ化ビニリデン等が好ましい。
【0037】
本発明に係る正極活物質を用いて二次電池を製造する場合には、前記正極、負極及び電解質から構成される。
【0038】
負極活物質としては、リチウム金属、リチウム/アルミニウム合金、リチウム/スズ合金、グラファイトや黒鉛等を用いることができる。
【0039】
また、電解液の溶媒としては、炭酸エチレンと炭酸ジエチルの組み合わせ以外に、炭酸プロピレン、炭酸ジメチル等のカーボネート類や、ジメトキシエタン等のエーテル類の少なくとも1種類を含む有機溶媒を用いることができる。
【0040】
さらに、電解質としては、六フッ化リン酸リチウム以外に、過塩素酸リチウム、四フッ化ホウ酸リチウム等のリチウム塩の少なくとも1種類を上記溶媒に溶解して用いることができる。
【0041】
本発明に係る正極活物質を用いて製造した二次電池は、初期放電容量が140〜150mAh/g、60℃での50サイクル後の容量維持率が97%以上であり、過充電試験における充放電容量が低い。
【0042】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の代表的な実施の形態は、次の通りである。
【0043】
表面処理後および焼成後の生成物の同定については、粉末X線回折(RIGAKU Cu−Kα 40kV 40mA)を用いた。また、前記粉末X線回折の各々の回折ピークから格子定数を計算した。
【0044】
また、元素分析にはプラズマ発光分析装置(セイコー電子工業製 SPS4000)を用いた。
【0045】
正極活物質の電池特性は、下記製造法によって正極、負極及び電解液を調製しコイン型の電池セルを作製して評価した。
【0046】
<正極の作製>
正極活物質と導電剤であるアセチレンブラック及び結着剤のポリフッ化ビニリデンを重量比で85:10:5となるように精秤し、乳鉢で十分に混合してからN−メチル−2−ピロリドンに分散させて正極合剤スラリーを調整した。次に、このスラリーを集電体のアルミニウム箔に150μmの膜厚で塗布し、150℃で真空乾燥してからφ16mmの円板状に打ち抜き正極板とした。
【0047】
<負極の作製>
金属リチウム箔をφ16mmの円板状に打ち抜いて負極を作製した。
【0048】
<電解液の調製>
炭酸エチレンと炭酸ジエチルとの体積比50:50の混合溶液に電解質として六フッ化リン酸リチウム(LiPF)を1モル/リットル混合して電解液とした。
【0049】
<コイン型電池セルの組み立て>
アルゴン雰囲気のグローブボックス中でSUS316製のケースを用い、上記正極と負極の間にポリプロピレン製のセパレータを介し、さらに電解液を注入してCR2032型のコイン電池を作製した。
【0050】
<電池評価>
前記コイン型電池を用いて、二次電池の充放電試験を行った。測定条件としては、60℃の温度下で、正極に対する電流密度を0.2mA/cmとし、カットオフ電圧が3.0Vから4.25Vの間で充放電を繰り返した。また、過充電試験については20℃の温度下で4.95Vまで充電を行った。
【0051】
<正極活物質の製造>
リチウムとコバルトのモル比が1:1となるよう所定量の炭酸リチウムと酸化コバルトを十分に混合し、酸化雰囲気下、900℃で10時間焼成してコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末を得た。
【0052】
得られたコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末は、平均長軸径が8.0μm、BET比表面積値が0.6m/g、格子定数がa軸2.817Å、c軸14.057Åであった。
【0053】
次に、得られたコバルト酸リチウム粒子を水溶液中に分散させ、水酸化リチウムを投入した。次に、コバルトに対して2.5mol%のチタニウムを含有する四塩化チタンを投入して、溶液のpHを12付近まで調整し、水洗、乾燥工程を経ることで、粒子表面にリチウムイオンを含む微細な水酸化チタニウムコロイドが吸着したコバルト酸リチウムを得た。次いで、得られた水酸化チタンコロイドが吸着したコバルト酸リチウム粒子を酸化雰囲気下、500℃で5時間焼成することにより正極活物質を得た。
【0054】
得られた正極活物質は、平均長軸径が8.0μm、BET比表面積値が0.5m/g、格子定数がa軸2.816Å、c軸14.049Å、チタンの含有量がコバルトに対して2.20mol%であった。チタン含有量は添加量に対してほぼ全量が残存しており、且つ、焼成後の格子定数が被覆処理前と比較して変化しないことから、チタンはコバルト酸リチウムの格子中にドープされることなく、粒子表面上にチタン酸リチウムの状態で存在するものと推定できる。また、図1及び2に示すように、得られた正極活物質は処理前のコバルト酸リチウム粒子粉末のX線回折の回折パターンと同様であることから、酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムは単相で存在することなく、コバルト酸リチウム粒子の表面に被覆されているものと推定できる。
【0055】
前記正極活物質を用いて作製したコイン型電池は、初期放電容量が150mAh/g、60℃での50サイクル後の容量維持率が97%/50cycle、過充電試験が250mAh/gであった。
【0056】
【作用】
本発明において最も重要な点は、本発明に係る正極活物質は、コバルト酸リチウム粒子表面の一部を酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムで被覆することによって、二次電池としての初期放電容量を保持したまま、且つ、高温下での充放電サイクル特性に優れるという点である。
【0057】
本発明においては、湿式反応によってコバルト酸リチウム粒子表面に直接微細な水酸化チタニウムコロイドを生成・吸着させて、次いで、酸化雰囲気中で熱処理することにより、微細な酸化チタン粒子及び/又はチタン酸リチウム粒子をコバルト酸リチウム粒子の粒子表面の一部に化学的に結合させている。
【0058】
従って、コバルト酸リチウム粒子と酸化チタン粒子又はチタン酸リチウム粒子を乾式混合しただけの場合には、混合が不均一であったり互いの粒子が単なる物理吸着にすぎないため本発明の効果は得られない。また、水酸化チタニウム又はチタン酸リチウムと混合した後で熱処理した場合にも、均一な混合状態とならないため本発明の効果が得られない。
【0059】
本発明において初期放電容量を保持できるのは、本来のコバルト酸リチウム粒子が有する初期放電容量を低下させない範囲で酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムを含有させたことによる。
【0060】
本発明において高温特性が改善できるのは、コバルト酸リチウム粒子の粒子表面の一部が酸化チタン及び/又はチタン酸リチウムで被覆した正極活物質を用いることにより、高温時(60℃)又は4.8V以上の高電位で予想される粒子表面部のCo(IV)と電解液の反応(酸化分解)が抑制されるためである。

本発明に係る正極活物質を用いて作製したコイン電池の電池特性は、初期放電容量が140mAh/g以上を保持し、60℃での50サイクル後の容量維持率が97%以上と高いレベルにある。さらに、過充電試験においても被覆処理前の充電容量と比較するとその値が減少しており、正極活物質の粒子表面と電解液との反応抑制が示唆される。
【0068】
また、比較例に示す通り、水酸化チタンを被覆しただけでは、過充電容量に極端な減少が確認されるものの、同時に初期放電容量も125mAh/g付近と低く、サイクル容量維持率についても改善効果が見られない。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention provides a positive electrode active material capable of obtaining a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery that maintains an initial discharge capacity as a secondary battery and has improved charge / discharge cycle characteristics at high temperatures.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, electronic devices such as AV devices and personal computers are rapidly becoming portable and cordless, and there is an increasing demand for secondary batteries having a small size, light weight, and high energy density as power sources for driving these devices. Under such circumstances, a lithium ion secondary battery having advantages such as a high charge / discharge voltage and a large charge / discharge capacity has attracted attention.
[0003]
Conventionally, as a positive electrode active material useful for a high energy type lithium ion secondary battery having a voltage of 4 V class, spinel type structure LiMn 2 O 4 , rock salt type structure LiMnO 2 , LiCoO 2 , LiCo 1-X Ni X O 2 , LiNiO 2 and the like are generally known, and LiCoO 2 is excellent in that it has a high charge / discharge voltage and charge / discharge capacity, but further improvement in characteristics is required.
[0004]
That is, since a device that operates with a secondary battery such as a notebook computer becomes hot as it is used, it is required that the secondary battery has excellent charge / discharge cycle characteristics at high temperatures. In addition, LiCoO 2 can operate at a high voltage, but due to the high voltage, reaction with the electrolyte is likely to occur, and charge / discharge cycle characteristics are likely to deteriorate.
[0005]
Therefore, LiCoO 2 having excellent charge / discharge cycle characteristics at high temperatures is required.
[0006]
Conventionally, in order to improve various characteristics of lithium cobalt oxide particle powder, a method of coating the surface of lithium cobalt oxide particles with a titanium compound (JP-A-4-329267, JP-A-8-102332, JP-A-2000-200605). Publication, etc.), a method of incorporating titanium into lithium cobalt oxide particles (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-44974, etc.), and a mixture of lithium cobalt oxide particle powder and lithium titanium composite oxide (LiTi 2 O 4 ) as a positive electrode active material Is known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-288124), and the surface of lithium cobaltate particles is coated with phosphorus, boron, zirconium oxide, samarium oxide, etc. (Japanese Patent No. 3054829, Patent No. (Japanese Patent No. 3044812, Japanese Patent No. 2855877, Japanese Patent No. 3003431) It has been known.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
A positive electrode active material that satisfies the above-mentioned properties is currently most demanded, but has not yet been obtained.
[0008]
That is, in the above-mentioned JP-A-4-329267, a method is described in which a lithium cobalt oxide particle surface is surface-treated with a titanium coupling agent and then heat-treated. Because the titanium-added surface layer is formed near the surface by diffusing in the internal direction, the effect of suppressing the reaction with the electrolyte cannot be obtained, and it is difficult to say that the charge / discharge cycle characteristics at high temperatures are not sufficient It is. Further, since the coupling agent is expensive, it is difficult to say that it is excellent in industrial productivity.
[0009]
In the above-mentioned JP-A-8-102332, it is described that a low activity oxide such as titanium oxide is dispersed and held on a part of the lithium cobalt oxide particle surface. Since the bonding strength of the titanium oxide is weak, it is difficult to say that the charge / discharge cycle characteristics at high temperatures are sufficient.
[0010]
In the above-mentioned JP 2000-2000605 A, a method of attaching titanium particles and / or titanium compound particles to the surface of lithium cobalt oxide particles is described, but when lithium cobalt oxide particles and titanium compound particles are dry mixed. In this case, uneven mixing of the titanium compound particles is generated, and unevenly distributed portions of the titanium compound particles to be adhered are generated. Therefore, it is difficult to say that the charge / discharge cycle characteristics at a high temperature are sufficient.
[0011]
JP-A-6-44974 mentioned above describes a method for obtaining Li 1.4 (Co 0.7 Ti 0.3 ) 2 O 4 by firing a mixture of lithium cobalt oxide and titanium oxide. However, since the initial charge / discharge capacity decreases and the effect of suppressing the reaction with the electrolytic solution cannot be obtained, it is difficult to say that the charge / discharge cycle characteristics at high temperatures are sufficient.
[0012]
In the above-mentioned JP-A-7-288124, a method of using a mixture of lithium cobaltate particles and lithium titanium composite oxide (LiTi 2 O 4 ) as a positive electrode active material is described. It is difficult to say that the charge / discharge cycle characteristics at high temperature are improved because the effect of suppressing the reaction with the electrolytic solution cannot be obtained only by the presence of the oxide.
[0013]
In addition, when it is coated with a different element (phosphorus, boron, zirconium oxide, samarium oxide, etc.) other than the above titanium compound, it is difficult to suppress the reaction with the electrolyte solution, so the charge / discharge cycle at high temperature It is hard to say that the characteristics are sufficient.
[0014]
Therefore, the present invention has a technical problem to obtain a positive electrode active material that is excellent in initial discharge capacity and excellent in charge / discharge cycle characteristics at high temperatures.
[0015]
[Means for solving the problems]
The technical problem can be achieved by the present invention as follows.

In the case of coating, the initial discharge capacity decreases. Content of a titanium oxide and / or lithium titanate is 2.0-4.0 mol% with respect to cobalt of lithium cobaltate particle powder in Ti conversion. When the amount is 2.0 mol% or less, the effect of improving the cycle capacity retention rate is small, and when it exceeds 4.0 mol%, the initial discharge capacity is remarkably reduced.

[0042]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A typical embodiment of the present invention is as follows.
[0043]
Powder X-ray diffraction (RIGAKU Cu-Kα 40 kV 40 mA) was used for identification of the product after the surface treatment and after firing. The lattice constant was calculated from each diffraction peak of the powder X-ray diffraction.
[0044]
In addition, a plasma emission analyzer (SEPS Electronics SPS4000) was used for elemental analysis.
[0045]
The battery characteristics of the positive electrode active material were evaluated by preparing a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolytic solution by the following production method to produce a coin-type battery cell.
[0046]
<Preparation of positive electrode>
A positive electrode active material, acetylene black as a conductive agent, and polyvinylidene fluoride as a binder are precisely weighed so that the weight ratio is 85: 10: 5, and thoroughly mixed in a mortar, and then N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The positive electrode mixture slurry was prepared by dispersing in the mixture. Next, this slurry was applied to an aluminum foil as a current collector with a film thickness of 150 μm, vacuum-dried at 150 ° C., and then punched into a disk shape of φ16 mm to obtain a positive electrode plate.
[0047]
<Production of negative electrode>
A metal lithium foil was punched into a disk shape of φ16 mm to produce a negative electrode.
[0048]
<Preparation of electrolyte>
An electrolyte solution was prepared by mixing 1 mol / liter of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ) as an electrolyte in a mixed solution of ethylene carbonate and diethyl carbonate in a volume ratio of 50:50.
[0049]
<Assembly of coin-type battery cells>
Using a case made of SUS316 in a glove box in an argon atmosphere, a CR2032-type coin battery was manufactured by injecting an electrolyte solution through a polypropylene separator between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
[0050]
<Battery evaluation>
A charge / discharge test of a secondary battery was performed using the coin-type battery. As measurement conditions, under a temperature of 60 ° C., the current density with respect to the positive electrode was set to 0.2 mA / cm 2, and charging / discharging was repeated between a cutoff voltage of 3.0 V and 4.25 V. Moreover, about the overcharge test, it charged to 4.95V under the temperature of 20 degreeC.
[0051]
<Manufacture of positive electrode active material>
A predetermined amount of lithium carbonate and cobalt oxide were sufficiently mixed so that the molar ratio of lithium to cobalt was 1: 1, and calcined at 900 ° C. for 10 hours in an oxidizing atmosphere to obtain lithium cobalt oxide particle powder.
[0052]
The obtained lithium cobalt oxide particle powder had an average major axis diameter of 8.0 μm, a BET specific surface area value of 0.6 m 2 / g, lattice constants of a-axis 2.817Å, and c-axis 14.057Å.
[0053]
Next, the obtained lithium cobaltate particles were dispersed in an aqueous solution, and lithium hydroxide was added. Next, titanium tetrachloride containing 2.5 mol% of titanium with respect to cobalt is added, the pH of the solution is adjusted to around 12, and the surface of the particles contains lithium ions through water washing and drying processes. A lithium cobaltate adsorbed with fine titanium hydroxide colloid was obtained. Next, the obtained lithium cobalt oxide particles adsorbed with the titanium hydroxide colloid were fired in an oxidizing atmosphere at 500 ° C. for 5 hours to obtain a positive electrode active material.
[0054]
The obtained positive electrode active material had an average major axis diameter of 8.0 μm, a BET specific surface area value of 0.5 m 2 / g, lattice constants of a-axis 2.816Å, c-axis 14.049Å, and a titanium content of cobalt. It was 2.20 mol% with respect to this. Titanium is doped in the lattice of lithium cobaltate because almost all of the titanium content remains with respect to the added amount and the lattice constant after firing does not change compared to before the coating treatment. It can be presumed that it exists in the state of lithium titanate on the particle surface. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, since the obtained positive electrode active material has the same X-ray diffraction pattern as that of the lithium cobalt oxide particle powder before the treatment, titanium oxide and / or lithium titanate is single. It can be presumed that the surface of the lithium cobalt oxide particles is coated without being present in a phase.
[0055]
The coin-type battery manufactured using the positive electrode active material had an initial discharge capacity of 150 mAh / g, a capacity retention rate after 50 cycles at 60 ° C. of 97% / 50 cycle, and an overcharge test of 250 mAh / g.
[0056]
[Action]
The most important point in the present invention is that the positive electrode active material according to the present invention has an initial discharge capacity as a secondary battery by covering a part of the lithium cobalt oxide particle surface with titanium oxide and / or lithium titanate. It is the point which is excellent in the charge / discharge cycle characteristic in high temperature with hold | maintaining.
[0057]
In the present invention, fine titanium hydroxide colloids are generated and adsorbed directly on the surface of lithium cobalt oxide particles by wet reaction, and then heat-treated in an oxidizing atmosphere to thereby produce fine titanium oxide particles and / or lithium titanate. The particles are chemically bonded to a part of the particle surface of the lithium cobalt oxide particles.
[0058]
Therefore, when lithium cobalt oxide particles and titanium oxide particles or lithium titanate particles are only dry mixed, the effects of the present invention can be obtained because the mixing is not uniform or the particles are merely physisorption. Absent. In addition, even when heat treatment is performed after mixing with titanium hydroxide or lithium titanate, the effect of the present invention cannot be obtained because a uniform mixed state is not obtained.
[0059]
The reason why the initial discharge capacity can be maintained in the present invention is that titanium oxide and / or lithium titanate is contained within a range that does not reduce the initial discharge capacity of the original lithium cobalt oxide particles.
[0060]
In the present invention, the high temperature characteristics can be improved by using a positive electrode active material in which a part of the particle surface of the lithium cobalt oxide particles is coated with titanium oxide and / or lithium titanate, at a high temperature (60 ° C.) or This is because the reaction (oxidative decomposition) between Co (IV) and the electrolyte solution on the particle surface, which is expected at a high potential of 8 V or more, is suppressed.

Furthermore, in the overcharge test, the value is reduced as compared with the charge capacity before the coating treatment, suggesting that the reaction between the particle surface of the positive electrode active material and the electrolytic solution is suppressed.
[0068]
In addition, as shown in the comparative example, only by covering with titanium hydroxide, an excessive decrease in overcharge capacity is confirmed, but at the same time, the initial discharge capacity is as low as around 125 mAh / g, and the cycle capacity maintenance rate is also improved. Is not seen.
[0069]
