Description
本発明は、ケイ素系材料およびケイ素系材料を含む複合材料に関する。また本発明は前記複合材料を含む二次電池用負極物質、前記二次電池用負極物質を含む負極、前記負極を含む二次電池に関する。 The present invention relates to silicon-based materials and composite materials containing silicon-based materials. The present invention also relates to a negative electrode material for a secondary battery including the composite material, a negative electrode including the negative electrode material for a secondary battery, and a secondary battery including the negative electrode.
非水電解質二次電池は、携帯機器を始め、ハイブリッド自動車や電気自動車、家庭用蓄電池などに用いられており、電気容量、安全性、作動安定性など複数の特性をバランスよく有することが要求されている。
さらに近年、各種電子機器・通信機器の小型化およびハイブリッド自動車等の急速な普及に伴い、これら機器等の駆動電源として、より高容量であり、かつサイクル特性や放電レート特性等の各種電池特性が更に向上したリチウムイオン二次電池の開発が強く求められている。
Non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries are used in portable devices, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, household storage batteries, etc., and are required to have a good balance of multiple characteristics such as electrical capacity, safety, and operational stability. ing.
Furthermore, in recent years, with the miniaturization of various electronic devices and communication devices and the rapid spread of hybrid vehicles, etc., batteries with higher capacity and various characteristics such as cycle characteristics and discharge rate characteristics are being used as drive power sources for these devices. There is a strong need for the development of further improved lithium ion secondary batteries.
そこで理論容量が高く、リチウムイオンを吸蔵および放出可能なシリコンが注目されている。シリコン粒子は、充放電における膨張収縮率が体積比で４倍と高いため、充放電時の膨張収縮によるシリコン粒子の破壊を抑制することが課題である。
非特許文献１には１５０ｎｍ以下のシリコン粒子は、表面亀裂が生じにくく、その構造が破壊されにくいとされている。しかしながら、繰り返しの充放電により機械的強度が低下し、最終的には、シリコン粒子の構造が破壊され、結果として電池性能の劣化要因となっている。
Therefore, silicon, which has a high theoretical capacity and can absorb and release lithium ions, is attracting attention. Silicon particles have a high rate of expansion and contraction during charging and discharging, which is four times the volume ratio, so it is a challenge to suppress the destruction of silicon particles due to expansion and contraction during charging and discharging.
Non-Patent Document 1 states that silicon particles with a diameter of 150 nm or less are less likely to cause surface cracks and their structure is less likely to be destroyed. However, repeated charging and discharging decreases mechanical strength and eventually destroys the structure of the silicon particles, resulting in deterioration of battery performance.
特許文献１にはシリコン粒子の膨張収縮を抑制する方法として、炭素源をシリコン表面に被覆し複合体とする方法が提案されている。得られる複合体は電気化学的に安定であるが、炭素はシリコンに比較して柔らかく、シリコン粒子の膨張収縮を十分に抑えるまでには至っていない。 Patent Document 1 proposes a method of coating a silicon surface with a carbon source to form a composite as a method of suppressing the expansion and contraction of silicon particles. Although the resulting composite is electrochemically stable, carbon is softer than silicon, and the expansion and contraction of silicon particles cannot be sufficiently suppressed.
特許文献２にはシリコン粒子の膨張収縮を抑える方法として、ナトリウムシリケート相とシリコン粒子からなる複合体による方法が報告されており、ビッカース硬度計の測定による硬さが大きいほど電池性能が向上することが報告されている。
しかしながらビッカース硬度計による硬度の測定のみでは、Ｓｉ粒子の繰り返しの膨張収縮に対する指標としては十分でない。
Patent Document 2 reports a method using a composite consisting of a sodium silicate phase and silicon particles as a method of suppressing the expansion and contraction of silicon particles, and it is shown that the greater the hardness measured by a Vickers hardness meter, the better the battery performance. has been reported.
However, hardness measurement alone using a Vickers hardness meter is not sufficient as an indicator for repeated expansion and contraction of Si particles.
したがってシリコン粒子の膨張収縮、および繰り返しの充放電によるシリコン粒子の構造破壊を抑制し、二次電池の容量維持率の改良の評価方法については未だ十分ではなかった。 Therefore, there has not yet been a sufficient evaluation method for improving the capacity retention rate of secondary batteries by suppressing expansion and contraction of silicon particles and structural destruction of silicon particles due to repeated charging and discharging.
本発明者らはシリコン粒子の膨張収縮を抑制する方法を検討した。その結果、ナノインデンテーション法を用いた力学測定した各種物性を有するケイ素系材料がシリコン粒子の膨張収縮の抑制効果を有することを見出し、本発明に至った。
即ち本発明は、リチウムイオン二次電池に用いられる二次電池用負極活物質および前記二次電池用負極活物質を負極に含む二次電池に関し、容量維持率が改良された二次電池を与えるケイ素系材料を提供することを目的とする。
The present inventors investigated a method for suppressing the expansion and contraction of silicon particles.

The purpose is to provide silicon-based materials.

本発明によれば、リチウムイオン二次電池に用いられる二次電池用負極活物質および前記二次電池用負極活物質を負極に含む二次電池に関し、容量維持率が改良された二次電池を与えるケイ素系材料が提供される。 According to the present invention, a secondary battery with an improved capacity retention rate is provided with respect to a negative electrode active material for a secondary battery used in a lithium ion secondary battery and a secondary battery containing the negative electrode active material for a secondary battery in the negative electrode. A silicon-based material is provided.
本発明のケイ素系材料（以下、「本ケイ素系材料」とも記す。）はナノインデンテーション法（以下、「ＮＩ法」とも記す。）を用いた力学強度測定において、押し込み硬度が１ＧＰａ以上１１ＧＰａ以下（以下、「物性１」とも記す。）、押し込み弾性率が１０ＧＰａ以上１１０ＧＰａ以下（以下、「物性２」とも記す。）、および弾性変形仕事率が２０％以上９０％以下（以下、「物性３」とも記す）からなる群より選択される少なくとも１の物性を有する。

The silicon-based material of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "this silicon-based material") has an indentation hardness of 1 GPa or more and 11 GPa or less in mechanical strength measurement using the nanoindentation method (hereinafter also referred to as "NI method"). (hereinafter also referred to as "physical property 1"), indentation modulus of 10 GPa or more and 110 GPa or less (hereinafter also referred to as "physical property 2"), and elastic deformation power of 20% or more and 90% or less (hereinafter referred to as "physical property 3"). ) has at least one physical property selected from the group consisting of
As mentioned above, although silicon particles have a high capacity, their volume changes greatly due to expansion and contraction during charging and discharging, and it is thought that structural destruction of silicon particles occurs due to a decrease in mechanical strength due to repeated charging and discharging. As a result, it is thought that this leads to a decrease in the capacity retention rate of the secondary battery.
本発明者らは、前記シリコン粒子の体積変化を抑えるために、シリコン粒子が分散しているマトリクス相に用いるケイ素系材料の強度に着目した。その結果、前記物性１、前記物性２および前記物性３からなる群より選択される少なくとも１つの物性を有するケイ素系材料をマトリクス相に用いると、シリコン粒子の体積変化の抑制に効果があることを見出した。このようなケイ素系材料を用いたマトリクス相とシリコン粒子を組み合わせた複合材料を二次電池用負極活物質として負極に用いることで、容量維持率に優れた二次電池が得られたと考えられる。 In order to suppress the volume change of the silicon particles, the present inventors focused on the strength of the silicon-based material used for the matrix phase in which silicon particles are dispersed. As a result, it was found that when a silicon-based material having at least one physical property selected from the group consisting of physical property 1, physical property 2, and physical property 3 is used for the matrix phase, it is effective in suppressing the volume change of silicon particles. I found it. It is thought that a secondary battery with excellent capacity retention was obtained by using a composite material in which a matrix phase using such a silicon-based material and silicon particles were combined as a negative electrode active material for a secondary battery.
ＮＩ法とは測定装置に、先端に極小のダイヤモンドを使用した突起状のダイヤモンド圧子を取り付け、圧子を押し込むことで微小領域の硬さやヤング率等の力学的強度を測定する方法である。ＮＩ法によれば従来の硬さ試験では測定できなかった微小試料や薄膜試料の力学的特性を測定することができる。
ＮＩ法の測定方法はＩＳＯ１４５７７により規格化されている。
The NI method is a method in which a protruding diamond indenter with an extremely small diamond at the tip is attached to a measuring device, and mechanical strength such as hardness and Young's modulus of a minute area is measured by pushing the indenter. According to the NI method, it is possible to measure the mechanical properties of micro samples and thin film samples that could not be measured using conventional hardness tests.
The measurement method of the NI method is standardized by ISO14577.
従来、粒子状物質の機械的強度を測定する手段として、マイクロビッカース硬度測定法がある。しかしながら、マイクロビッカース硬度測定法では粒子表面の押し込み硬度のみ測定が可能であり、押し込み弾性率や弾性変形仕事率の測定を行うことは不可能である。また、押し込み弾性率は原子間力顕微鏡などで測定できるが、同様にその他の物性を同時に測定することは不可能である。したがって、粒子状物質の前記物性１から３の評価を行なうためには、これらの異なる測定方法を組合わせる必要があるため、評価が煩雑となる。
一方、ＮＩ法では粒子表面に一度圧子を押し込むことで押し込み硬度、押し込み弾性率、および弾性変形仕事率の３つの物性を測定することが可能である。即ち、同じ押し込み位置での押し込み硬度、押し込み弾性率、および弾性変形仕事率の３つの物性について同時に測定を行うことが可能であることから、ＮＩ法により前記物性１から３を効率よく評価することができる。
さらに、ケイ素元素以外の酸素元素や炭素元素を含むマトリクス相と、シリコン粒子が混在しているケイ素系材料においては、マトリクス相とシリコン粒子の押し込み硬度、および押し込み弾性率が異なることがあり、そのため同一箇所を測定する方法以外では、弾性変形仕事率の正確な値を測定することが困難となる。
Conventionally, there is a micro-Vickers hardness measurement method as a means for measuring the mechanical strength of particulate matter. However, in the micro-Vickers hardness measurement method, only the indentation hardness of the particle surface can be measured, and it is not possible to measure the indentation modulus or elastic deformation power. Further, although the indentation modulus can be measured using an atomic force microscope or the like, it is similarly impossible to measure other physical properties at the same time. Therefore, in order to evaluate the physical properties 1 to 3 of the particulate matter, it is necessary to combine these different measurement methods, which makes the evaluation complicated.
On the other hand, in the NI method, it is possible to measure the three physical properties of indentation hardness, indentation modulus, and elastic deformation power by pushing an indenter once into the particle surface. That is, since it is possible to simultaneously measure the three physical properties of indentation hardness, indentation elastic modulus, and elastic deformation power at the same indentation position, it is possible to efficiently evaluate the above-mentioned physical properties 1 to 3 using the NI method. Can be done.
Furthermore, in silicon-based materials in which silicon particles are mixed with a matrix phase containing oxygen and carbon elements other than silicon, the indentation hardness and indentation modulus of the matrix phase and silicon particles may differ. It is difficult to measure an accurate value of elastic deformation power by any method other than measuring the same location.

本ケイ素系材料の主成分がケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格の三次元ネットワーク構造とフリー炭素を含む構造を有する場合、本ケイ素系材料をマトリクス相に用いた時に、マトリクス相のケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格は化学安定性が高く、フリー炭素との複合構造をとり、このマトリックス構造の変形度合いは小さく、割れにくい。
後述するシリコン粒子がケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格とフリー炭素との複合構造体に密に包まれることで、リチウムの吸蔵および放出に対するシリコン粒子の体積変化及び膨張が抑制され、ケイ素の膨張に対しても、マトリックスの構造自体が割れにくくケイ素の表面副反応を抑えることが出来る。その結果、本ケイ素系材料を含む複合材料を負極に用いた場合、負極中のシリコン粒子が充放電性能発現の主要成分とする役割を果たしながら、充放電時に本シリコン粒子の体積変化に伴う粒子の破壊を抑制し、リチウム二次電池の容量維持率が改良される。
このマトリックス相の変形度合いとシリコン粒子の体積変化に伴う粒子の破壊を抑制するのは、押し込み弾性率と弾性変形仕事率が影響するパラメータであり、この値を制御することによってリチウム二次電池の容量維持率が改良される。
When the main component of this silicon-based material has a three-dimensional network structure of silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton and a structure containing free carbon, when this silicon-based material is used for the matrix phase, the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton of the matrix phase has high chemical stability, has a composite structure with free carbon, and the degree of deformation of this matrix structure is small, making it difficult to crack.
The silicon particles, which will be described later, are tightly wrapped in a composite structure of silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton and free carbon, which suppresses the volume change and expansion of the silicon particles due to occlusion and desorption of lithium, and prevents silicon from expanding. However, the matrix structure itself is difficult to break, and side reactions on the surface of silicon can be suppressed. As a result, when a composite material containing this silicon-based material is used as a negative electrode, while the silicon particles in the negative electrode play the role of being the main component for developing charge and discharge performance, the particles due to the volume change of the silicon particles during charging and discharging. , and the capacity retention rate of the lithium secondary battery is improved.
The degree of deformation of the matrix phase and the destruction of particles due to changes in the volume of silicon particles are controlled by the parameters affected by the indentation elastic modulus and elastic deformation power, and by controlling these values, lithium secondary batteries can be Capacity retention is improved.
前記ｘおよびｙはそれぞれの元素の質量含有量を測定した後、モル比（原子数比）に換算することにより求めることができる。この際、酸素と炭素は無機元素分析装置を使用することによって、その含有量を定量でき、ケイ素の含有量はＩＣＰ発光分析装置（ＩＣＰ－ＯＥＳ）を使用することによって定量できる。
なお、前記ｘおよびｙの測定は上記記載方法によって実施することが好ましいが、本ケイ素系材料の局所的な分析を行い、それにより得られた含有比データの測定点数を多く取得して、本活物質全体の含有比を類推することでも可能である。局所的な分析としては、例えばエネルギー分散型Ｘ線分光法（ＳＥＭ－ＥＤＸ）や電子線プローブマイクロアナライザ（ＥＰＭＡ）が挙げられる。
The above x and y can be determined by measuring the mass content of each element and then converting it into a molar ratio (atomic ratio). At this time, the contents of oxygen and carbon can be determined by using an inorganic element analyzer, and the content of silicon can be determined by using an ICP optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES).
Although it is preferable to measure x and y by the method described above, the present silicon-based material is locally analyzed and a large number of measurement points are obtained for the resulting content ratio data. This can also be done by analogizing the content ratio of the entire active material. Examples of local analysis include energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA).
また本ケイ素系材料の主成分がケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格の三次元ネットワーク構造とフリー炭素を含む構造を有していると、ケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格は、リチウムイオンの接近によりケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格の内部の電子分布に変動が生じ、ケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格とリチウムイオンの間に静電的な結合や配位結合などが形成される。この静電的な結合や配位結合によりリチウムイオンがケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格中に貯蔵される。一方、配位結合エネルギーは比較的低いため、リチウムイオンの脱離反応が容易に行われる。つまりケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格が充放電の際にリチウムイオンの挿入と脱離反応を可逆的に起こすことができると考えられる。 Furthermore, if the main component of this silicon-based material has a three-dimensional network structure of a silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton and a structure containing free carbon, the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton will change due to the approach of lithium ions. Changes occur in the electron distribution inside the carbon skeleton, and electrostatic bonds and coordinate bonds are formed between the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton and lithium ions. Lithium ions are stored in the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton due to these electrostatic bonds and coordinate bonds. On the other hand, since the coordination bond energy is relatively low, the elimination reaction of lithium ions is easily carried out. In other words, it is thought that the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton can reversibly cause lithium ion insertion and desorption reactions during charging and discharging.

If the average particle size of this composite material is too small, the specific surface area will increase significantly, and when this composite material is used as an active material in a secondary battery, the amount of solid phase interfacial electrolyte decomposition products will increase during charging and discharging. This may reduce the reversible charge/discharge capacity per unit volume. If the average particle size of the present composite material is too large, there is a risk that it will peel off from the current collector during electrode film production.
Therefore, the average particle diameter of the present composite material is preferably 0.5 μm or more and 50 μm or less.

本マトリクス相が前記式（１）で表される化合物を主成分とする場合、ケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格構造とともに炭素元素のみで構成される前記フリー炭素を有しているのが好ましい。本複合材料がフリー炭素を有する場合、本複合材料のラマンスペクトルにおいて、グラファイト長周期炭素格子構造のＧバンドに帰属される１５９０ｃｍ－１と、乱れや欠陥のあるグラファイト短周期炭素格子構造のＤバンドに帰属される１３３０ｃｍ－１付近の散乱ピークが観測される。Ｄバンドの散乱ピーク強度、Ｉ（Ｇバンド）、に対するＧバンドの散乱強度、Ｉ（Ｄバンド）、の強度比、Ｉ（Ｇバンド）／Ｉ（Ｄバンド）が、０．７以上２以下が好ましい。前記散乱ピーク強度比、Ｉ（Ｇバンド）／Ｉ（Ｄバンド）は０．７以上１．８以下がより好ましい。前記散乱ピーク強度比、Ｉ（Ｇバンド）／Ｉ（Ｄバンド）が前記の範囲であるということは、マトリクス中のフリー炭素において以下のことが言える。 When this matrix phase has a compound represented by the formula (1) as a main component, it preferably has the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton structure and the free carbon composed only of carbon elements. When this composite material has free carbon, in the Raman spectrum of this composite material, 1590 cm -1 belongs to the G band of the graphite long period carbon lattice structure, and the D band of the graphite short period carbon lattice structure with disorder and defects. A scattering peak near 1330 cm −1 attributed to is observed. The intensity ratio of the scattering intensity of the G band, I (D band), to the scattering peak intensity of the D band, I (G band), I (G band)/I (D band) is 0.7 or more and 2 or less. preferable. The scattering peak intensity ratio, I (G band)/I (D band), is more preferably 0.7 or more and 1.8 or less. The fact that the scattering peak intensity ratio, I (G band)/I (D band) is within the above range means that the following can be said about free carbon in the matrix.
フリー炭素の一部の炭素原子は、ケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格中の一部のケイ素原子と結合している。このフリー炭素は、充放電特性に影響を与える重要な成分である。フリー炭素は主に、ＳｉＯ２Ｃ２，ＳｉＯ３Ｃ、およびＳｉＯ４で構成されるケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格中に形成しているものであり、ケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格の一部のケイ素原子と結合しているため、ケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格内部、および表面のケイ素原子とフリー炭素間の電子伝達がより容易となる。このため本複合材料を二次電池の負極活物質として用いた時の充放電時のリチウムイオンの挿入および離脱反応が速やかに進行し、充放電特性が向上すると考えられる。また、リチウムイオンの挿入および脱離反応によって、負極活物質は僅かではあるが膨張および収縮することがあるが、フリー炭素がその近傍に存在することで負極活物質全体の膨張および収縮が緩和され、容量維持率を大きく向上させる効果があると考えられる。 Some carbon atoms of the free carbon are bonded to some silicon atoms in the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton. This free carbon is an important component that affects charge and discharge characteristics. Free carbon is mainly formed in the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton composed of SiO 2 C 2 , SiO 3 C, and SiO 4 , and some silicon atoms in the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton As a result, electron transfer between silicon atoms and free carbon inside the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton and on the surface becomes easier. Therefore, when this composite material is used as a negative electrode active material of a secondary battery, insertion and withdrawal reactions of lithium ions during charging and discharging proceed rapidly, and it is thought that the charging and discharging characteristics are improved. In addition, the negative electrode active material may expand and contract, albeit slightly, due to lithium ion insertion and deintercalation reactions, but the presence of free carbon in its vicinity alleviates the expansion and contraction of the negative electrode active material as a whole. It is thought that this has the effect of greatly improving the capacity retention rate.
フリー炭素は、前記式（１）で表される化合物を製造する際に後述する前駆体であるケイ素含有化合物および炭素源樹脂の不活性ガス雰囲気中の熱分解に伴い形成する。具体的にはケイ素含有化合物および炭素源樹脂の分子構造中にある炭化可能な部位が不活性化する雰囲気中で高温熱分解によって炭素成分となる。これらの一部の炭素がケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格の一部と結合する。炭化可能な成分は、炭化水素が好ましく、アルキル類、アルキレン類、アルケン類、アルキン類、芳香族類がより好ましく、その中でも芳香族類であることがさらに好ましい。 Free carbon is formed when a silicon-containing compound and a carbon source resin, which are precursors described later, are thermally decomposed in an inert gas atmosphere when producing the compound represented by the formula (1). Specifically, the silicon-containing compound and the carbon source resin become carbon components through high-temperature thermal decomposition in an atmosphere that inactivates carbonizable sites in their molecular structures. Some of these carbons are bonded to a part of the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton. The carbonizable component is preferably a hydrocarbon, more preferably an alkyl, an alkylene, an alkene, an alkyne, or an aromatic, and among these, an aromatic is even more preferred.
また、フリー炭素が存在することにより、本複合材料の抵抗低減効果が期待され、二次電池の負極として本複合材料を使用した場合、本複合材料内部の反応が均一かつスムーズに起こり、充放電性能と容量維持率のバランスに優れた二次電池用材料が得られると考えられる。フリー炭素の導入はケイ素含有化合物由来だけでも可能であるが、炭素源樹脂を併用することにより、フリー炭素の存在量とその効果の増大が期待される。炭素源樹脂の種類は、特に限定されてないが、炭素の六員環を含む炭素化合物が好ましい。 In addition, the presence of free carbon is expected to reduce the resistance of this composite material, and when this composite material is used as the negative electrode of a secondary battery, the reaction inside this composite material will occur uniformly and smoothly, allowing charging and discharging. It is believed that a material for secondary batteries with an excellent balance between performance and capacity retention can be obtained. Although it is possible to introduce free carbon only from a silicon-containing compound, by using a carbon source resin in combination, it is expected that the amount of free carbon present and its effect will increase. The type of carbon source resin is not particularly limited, but a carbon compound containing a six-membered carbon ring is preferred.
前記フリー炭素の存在状態は、ラマンスペクトル以外に熱重量示差熱分析装置（ＴＧ－ＤＴＡ）でも同定することが可能である。ケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格中の炭素原子と異なり、フリー炭素は、大気中で熱分解されやすく、空気存在下で測定した熱重量減少量により炭素の存在量を求めることができる。つまり炭素量は、ＴＧ－ＤＴＡを用いることで定量できる。
また、熱重量減少挙動より、分解反応開始温度、分解反応終了温度、熱分解反応種の数、各熱分解反応種における最大重量減少量の温度などの熱分解温度挙動の変化も容易に把握できる。これら挙動の温度値を用いて炭素の状態を判断することができる。一方、ケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格中の炭素原子、すなわち前記ＳｉＯ２Ｃ２、ＳｉＯ３Ｃ、およびＳｉＯ４を構成するケイ素原子と結合している炭素原子は、非常に強い化学結合を有するために熱安定性が高く、熱分析装置測定の温度範囲内では大気中で熱分解されることがないと考えられる。また、本マトリクス相が前記式（１）で表される化合物を主成分として構成される場合、前記式（１）で表される化合物中の炭素は、非晶質炭素と類似する特性を有しているため、大気中において約５５０℃から９００℃の温度範囲に熱分解される。その結果、急激な重量減少が発生する。ＴＧ－ＤＴＡの測定条件の最高温度は特に限定されないが、炭素の熱分解反応を完全に終了させるために、大気中、約２５℃から約１０００℃以上までの条件下でＴＧ－ＤＴＡ測定を行うのが好ましい。
The existence state of the free carbon can be identified not only by Raman spectroscopy but also by thermogravimetric differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). Unlike the carbon atoms in the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton, free carbon is easily thermally decomposed in the atmosphere, and the amount of carbon present can be determined from the amount of thermogravimetric loss measured in the presence of air. In other words, the amount of carbon can be quantified using TG-DTA.
In addition, from the thermal weight loss behavior, it is easy to understand changes in thermal decomposition temperature behavior such as decomposition reaction start temperature, decomposition reaction end temperature, number of thermal decomposition reaction species, and temperature of maximum weight loss for each thermal decomposition reaction species. . The state of carbon can be determined using the temperature values of these behaviors. On the other hand, the carbon atoms in the silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton, that is, the carbon atoms bonded to the silicon atoms constituting the SiO 2 C 2 , SiO 3 C, and SiO 4 , have very strong chemical bonds. It has high thermal stability and is considered not to be thermally decomposed in the atmosphere within the temperature range measured by a thermal analyzer. Furthermore, when the present matrix phase is composed mainly of a compound represented by the above formula (1), carbon in the compound represented by the above formula (1) has characteristics similar to amorphous carbon. Therefore, it is thermally decomposed in the air at temperatures ranging from approximately 550°C to 900°C. As a result, a rapid weight loss occurs. The maximum temperature of the TG-DTA measurement conditions is not particularly limited, but in order to completely complete the carbon thermal decomposition reaction, TG-DTA measurements are performed in the atmosphere from about 25°C to about 1000°C or higher. is preferable.

It is more preferable that the solid content of the carbon source resin is 20% by mass to 70% by mass. Furthermore, the present precursor may contain 1 to 90% by mass of Si particles.
前記で得られた前駆体を不活性雰囲気中、焼成して熱分解可能な有機成分を完全分解させて焼成物が得られる。焼成温度は、例えば、最高到達温度が９００℃から１２００℃の範囲の温度で焼成することで、熱分解可能な有機成分を完全分解することができる。またポリシロキサン化合物および炭素源樹脂が高温処理のエネルギーによってケイ素－酸素－炭素骨格とフリー炭素を有するシリコンオキシカーバイド相に転化される。 The precursor obtained above is fired in an inert atmosphere to completely decompose the thermally decomposable organic components to obtain a fired product. The pyrolyzable organic components can be completely decomposed by firing at a temperature in the range of 900° C. to 1200° C., for example. Also, the polysiloxane compound and the carbon source resin are converted into a silicon oxycarbide phase having a silicon-oxygen-carbon skeleton and free carbon by the energy of the high-temperature treatment.
焼成は昇温速度、一定温度での保持時間等により規定される焼成のプログラムに沿って行われる。なお最高到達温度は、設定する最高温度であり、焼成物の構造や性能に強く影響を与えるものである。最高到達温度により、シリコンオキシカーバイド相のケイ素と炭素の化学結合状態を保有する本活物質の微細構造が精密に制御でき、より優れた充放電特性が得られる。 Firing is performed according to a firing program defined by the rate of temperature increase, the holding time at a constant temperature, and the like. Note that the maximum temperature reached is the maximum temperature to be set, and has a strong influence on the structure and performance of the fired product. Depending on the maximum temperature reached, the microstructure of the active material, which has a chemical bonding state of silicon and carbon in the silicon oxycarbide phase, can be precisely controlled, and better charge-discharge characteristics can be obtained.
焼成方法は、特に限定されないが、不活性雰囲気中にて加熱機能を有する反応装置を用いればよく、連続法、回分法での処理が可能である。焼成用装置については、流動層反応炉、回転炉、竪型移動層反応炉、トンネル炉、バッチ炉、ロータリーキルン等をその目的に応じ適宜選択することができる。 The firing method is not particularly limited, but a reaction apparatus having a heating function in an inert atmosphere may be used, and continuous or batch processing is possible. As for the firing device, a fluidized bed reactor, a rotary furnace, a vertical moving bed reactor, a tunnel furnace, a batch furnace, a rotary kiln, etc. can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose.
得られた焼成物を粉砕し、必要に応じて分級することで本複合材料が得られる。粉砕は目的とする粒径まで一段で行っても良いし、数段に分けて行っても良い。例えば１０ｍｍ以上の塊または凝集粒子の焼成物を、１０μｍ程度の活物質を作製する場合はジョークラッシャー、ロールクラッシャー等で粗粉砕を行い１ｍｍ程度の粒子にした後、グローミル、ボールミル等で１００μｍ程度とし、ビーズミル、ジェットミル等で１０μｍ程度まで粉砕する。粉砕で作製した粒子には粗大粒子が含まれる場合がありそれを取り除くため、また、微粉を取り除いて粒度分布を調整する場合は分級を行う。使用する分級機は風力分級機、湿式分級機等目的に応じて使い分けるが、粗大粒子を取り除く場合、篩を通す分級方式が確実に目的を達成できるために好ましい。尚、焼成前に前駆体混合物を噴霧乾燥等により目標粒子径付近の形状に制御し、その形状で焼成を行った場合は、粉砕工程を省くことも可能である。 This composite material is obtained by pulverizing the obtained fired product and classifying it as necessary. The pulverization may be carried out in one stage to reach the desired particle size, or may be carried out in several stages. For example, when producing an active material of about 10 μm from a fired product of lumps or agglomerated particles of 10 mm or more, coarsely crush it into particles of about 1 mm using a jaw crusher, roll crusher, etc., and then grind it to about 100 μm using a glow mill, ball mill, etc. , bead mill, jet mill, etc. to about 10 μm. Particles produced by pulverization may contain coarse particles, and in order to remove them, or to remove fine particles to adjust the particle size distribution, classification is performed. The classifier used is a wind classifier, a wet classifier, etc. depending on the purpose, but when removing coarse particles, a classification method that passes through a sieve is preferable because it can reliably achieve the purpose. Note that if the precursor mixture is controlled to have a shape near the target particle diameter by spray drying or the like before firing, and the firing is performed in that shape, the pulverization step can be omitted.

例えば、本複合材料と、有機結着材であるバインダーとを、溶媒とともに撹拌機、ボールミル、スーパーサンドミル、加圧ニーダ等の分散装置により混練して、二次電池用負極活物質のスラリーを調製し、これを集電体に塗布して負極層を形成することで負極を得ることができる。また、ペースト状の二次電池用負極活物質のスラリーをシート状、ペレット状等の形状に成形し、これを集電体と一体化することでも得ることができる。 For example, this composite material and a binder, which is an organic binder, are kneaded together with a solvent using a dispersion device such as a stirrer, a ball mill, a super sand mill, or a pressure kneader to prepare a slurry of a negative electrode active material for a secondary battery. A negative electrode can be obtained by applying this to a current collector to form a negative electrode layer. Alternatively, it can be obtained by forming a paste-like slurry of a negative electrode active material for a secondary battery into a sheet, pellet, or the like, and integrating this with a current collector.
前記有機結着剤としては、例えば、スチレン－ブタジエンゴム共重合体（以下、「ＳＢＲ」とも記す。）；メチル（メタ）アクリレート、エチル（メタ）アクリレート、ブチル（メタ）アクリレート、（メタ）アクリロニトリル、およびヒドロキシエチル（メタ）アクリレート等のエチレン性不飽和カルボン酸エステル、および、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸、イタコン酸、フマル酸、マレイン酸等のエチレン性不飽和カルボン酸からなる（メタ）アクリル共重合体等の不飽和カルボン酸共重合体；ポリ弗化ビニリデン、ポリエチレンオキサイド、ポリエピクロヒドリン、ポリホスファゼン、ポリアクリロニトリル、ポリイミド、ポリアミドイミド、カルボキシメチルセルロース（以下、「ＣＭＣ」とも記す。）などの高分子化合物が挙げられる。 Examples of the organic binder include styrene-butadiene rubber copolymer (hereinafter also referred to as "SBR"); methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, butyl (meth)acrylate, and (meth)acrylonitrile. and (meth)acrylic copolymers consisting of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid esters such as hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, and ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, and maleic acid.

これらの有機結着剤は、それぞれの物性によって、水に分散、あるいは溶解したもの、また、Ｎ－メチル－２－ピロリドン（ＮＭＰ）などの有機溶剤に溶解したものがある。リチウムイオン二次電池負極の負極層中の有機結着剤の含有比率は、１質量％から３０質量％であることが好ましく、２質量％から２０質量％であることがより好ましく、３質量％から１５質量％であることがさらに好ましい。 Depending on their physical properties, these organic binders may be dispersed or dissolved in water, or dissolved in an organic solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).

It is more preferably from 15% by mass.
有機結着剤の含有比率が１質量％以上であることで密着性がより良好で、充放電時の膨張および収縮によって負極構造の破壊がより抑制される。一方、３０質量％以下であることで、電極抵抗の上昇がより抑えられる。
かかる範囲において、得られる二次電池用負極活物質は、化学安定性が高く、水性バインダーも採用することができる点で、実用化面においても取り扱い容易である。
When the content ratio of the organic binder is 1% by mass or more, adhesion is better, and destruction of the negative electrode structure due to expansion and contraction during charging and discharging is further suppressed. On the other hand, when the content is 30% by mass or less, the increase in electrode resistance can be further suppressed.
Within this range, the obtained negative electrode active material for secondary batteries has high chemical stability and can also be used with an aqueous binder, making it easy to handle in terms of practical use.
また、前記二次電池用負極活物質のスラリーには、必要に応じて、導電助材を混合してもよい。導電助材としては、例えば、カーボンブラック、グラファイト、アセチレンブラック、あるいは導電性を示す酸化物や窒化物等が挙げられる。導電助剤の使用量は、本発明の負極活物質に対して１質量％から１５質量％程度とすればよい。 Further, a conductive additive may be mixed into the slurry of the negative electrode active material for secondary batteries, if necessary. Examples of the conductive additive include carbon black, graphite, acetylene black, and oxides and nitrides exhibiting conductivity. The amount of the conductive aid used may be about 1% by mass to 15% by mass based on the negative electrode active material of the present invention.
また前記集電体の材質および形状については、例えば、銅、ニッケル、チタン、ステンレス鋼等を、箔状、穴開け箔状、メッシュ状等にした帯状のものを用いればよい。また、多孔性材料、たとえばポーラスメタル（発泡メタル）やカーボンペーパーなども使用できる。 Regarding the material and shape of the current collector, for example, a strip made of copper, nickel, titanium, stainless steel or the like may be used in the form of foil, perforated foil, mesh, or the like. Porous materials such as porous metal (foamed metal) and carbon paper can also be used.
前記二次電池用負極活物質のスラリーを集電体に塗布する方法としては、例えば、メタルマスク印刷法、静電塗装法、ディップコート法、スプレーコート法、ロールコート法、ドクターブレード法、グラビアコート法、スクリーン印刷法などが挙げられる。塗布後は、必要に応じて平板プレス、カレンダーロール等による圧延処理を行うことが好ましい。 Examples of methods for applying the slurry of the negative electrode active material for secondary batteries to the current collector include metal mask printing method, electrostatic coating method, dip coating method, spray coating method, roll coating method, doctor blade method, and gravure method. Examples include coating method and screen printing method. After coating, it is preferable to perform a rolling treatment using a flat plate press, a calendar roll, etc., if necessary.
また、前記二次電池用負極活物質のスラリーをシート状またはペレット状等として、これと集電体との一体化は、例えば、ロール、プレス、もしくはこれらの組み合わせ等により行うことができる。 Further, the slurry of the negative electrode active material for a secondary battery may be formed into a sheet or pellet form, and the current collector may be integrated with the slurry by, for example, rolling, pressing, or a combination thereof.
前記集電体上に形成された負極層または集電体と一体化した負極層は、用いた有機結着剤に応じて熱処理することが好ましい。例えば、水系のスチレン－ブタジエンゴム共重合体（ＳＢＲ）などを用いた場合には１００から１３０℃で熱処理すればよく、ポリイミド、ポリアミドイミドを主骨格とした有機結着剤を用いた場合には１５０から４５０℃で熱処理することが好ましい。 The negative electrode layer formed on the current collector or the negative electrode layer integrated with the current collector is preferably heat-treated depending on the organic binder used. For example, when water-based styrene-butadiene rubber copolymer (SBR) is used, heat treatment at 100 to 130°C is sufficient; when an organic binder with a main skeleton of polyimide or polyamide-imide is used, Preferably, the heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 150 to 450°C.
この熱処理により溶媒の除去、バインダーの硬化による高強度化が進み、粒子間および粒子と集電体間の密着性が向上できる。尚、これらの熱処理は、処理中の集電体の酸化を防ぐため、ヘリウム、アルゴン、窒素等の不活性雰囲気、真空雰囲気で行うことが好ましい。 Through this heat treatment, the solvent is removed and the binder is hardened to increase the strength, and the adhesion between particles and between the particles and the current collector can be improved. Note that these heat treatments are preferably performed in an inert atmosphere such as helium, argon, nitrogen, etc., or a vacuum atmosphere in order to prevent oxidation of the current collector during the treatment.
また、熱処理した後に、負極は加圧処理しておくことが好ましい。本複合材料を用いた負極では、電極密度が１ｇ／ｃｍ３から１．８ｇ／ｃｍ３であることが好ましく、１．１ｇ／ｃｍ３から１．７ｇ／ｃｍ３であることがより好ましく、１．２ｇ／ｃｍ３から１．６ｇ／ｃｍ３であることがさらに好ましい。電極密度については、高いほど密着性および電極の体積容量密度が向上する傾向がある。一方、電極密度が高すぎると、電極中の空隙が減少することでケイ素など体積膨張の抑制効果が弱くなり、容量維持率が低下することがある。そのため電極密度の最適な範囲が選択される。 Further, after the heat treatment, the negative electrode is preferably subjected to pressure treatment. In the negative electrode using this composite material, the electrode density is preferably 1 g/cm 3 to 1.8 g/cm 3 , more preferably 1.1 g/cm 3 to 1.7 g/cm 3 , and 1 g/cm 3 to 1.7 g/cm 3 . More preferably, it is between .2 g/cm 3 and 1.6 g/cm 3 . Regarding the electrode density, there is a tendency that the higher the electrode density, the better the adhesion and the volumetric capacity density of the electrode. On the other hand, if the electrode density is too high, the voids in the electrode are reduced, which weakens the effect of suppressing the volumetric expansion of silicon and other materials, which may lower the capacity retention rate. Therefore, an optimal range of electrode density is selected.
本発明の二次電池は前記二次電池用負極活物質を負極に含む。前記二次電池用負極活物質を含む負極を有する二次電池としては、非水電解質二次電池と固体型電解質二次電池が好ましく、特に非水電解質二次電池の負極として用いた際に優れた性能を発揮するものである。 The secondary battery of the present invention includes the negative electrode active material for secondary batteries in the negative electrode.

電池特性評価：二次電池充放電試験装置（北斗電工株式会社製）を用いて電池特性を測定し、室温２５℃、カットオフ電圧範囲が０．００５から１．４Ｖに、１から３サイクル目までは充放電レートを０．１Ｃ、４サイクル目以後は０．２Ｃとし、定電流・定電圧式充電／定電流式放電の設定条件下で充放電特性の評価試験を行った。各充放電時の切り替え時には、３０分間、開回路で放置した。２５℃でフルセルを３００サイクル充放電後の容量維持率は以下のようにして、フルセル（ラミネートセル）の測定で求めた。容量維持率（％＠３００回目）＝３００回目の負極放電容量（ｍＡｈ／ｇ）／負極初回放電容量（ｍＡｈ／ｇ） Battery characteristics evaluation: Battery characteristics were measured using a secondary battery charge/discharge test device (manufactured by Hokuto Denko Co., Ltd.) at a room temperature of 25°C and a cutoff voltage range of 0.005 to 1.4V from 1st to 3rd cycles. The charging/discharging rate was set to 0.1 C up to the fourth cycle, and 0.2 C after the fourth cycle, and a charging/discharging characteristic evaluation test was conducted under the setting conditions of constant current/constant voltage charging/constant current discharging. At each charge/discharge switch, the circuit was left open for 30 minutes. The capacity retention rate after 300 cycles of charging and discharging a full cell at 25° C. was determined by measuring a full cell (laminated cell) as follows. Capacity retention rate (% @ 300th time) = 300th negative electrode discharge capacity (mAh/g) / negative electrode initial discharge capacity (mAh/g)
前記結果から明らかなように、前記物性１から３のいずれかを満たす珪素系材料を含む本活物質を負極活物質として用いた場合、容量維持率に優れる。また本活物質を負極活物質として含む二次電池はその電池特性に優れると考えられる。 As is clear from the above results, when the present active material containing a silicon-based material satisfying any of the above physical properties 1 to 3 is used as a negative electrode active material, the capacity retention rate is excellent. Further, a secondary battery containing the present active material as a negative electrode active material is considered to have excellent battery characteristics.
