Description
본 발명은 리튬 이차전지용 양극 활 물질 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 Li2MM'O4 입자상 표면에 균일하게 분산, 함유된 탄소원 또는 리튬티탄산화물(LTO)에 의하여 향상된 비용량과 전기전도도를 갖는 리튬이차전지용 양극 활 물질 복합체, 그 제조방법 및 이를 포함하는 리튬이차전지에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery positive electrode active material and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, Li 2 MM'O 4 To a cathode active material composite for a lithium secondary battery having a specific capacity and an electric conductivity improved by a carbon source or lithium titanium oxide (LTO) contained uniformly dispersed on a particle surface, a method for producing the same, and a lithium secondary battery comprising the same.
최근 휴대전화, 휴대용 개인정보단말기(PDA), 노트북 PC, MP3 등의 휴대용 소형 전자기기 및 전기 자동차 등의 전원 및 동력원으로서의 리튬 이차전지의 수요가 급격히 늘어나고 있다. 이에 따라 리튬 이차전지의 고용량화와 사이클 수명 연장에 대한 요구도 증가하고 있다.2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, demand for lithium secondary batteries as power sources and power sources for portable electronic devices such as portable telephones, portable personal digital assistants (PDAs), notebook PCs, MP3 players, and electric vehicles has been rapidly increasing. Accordingly, there is a growing demand for high capacity and longer cycle life of lithium secondary batteries.
리튬 이차전지의 양극 활 물질로서는 리튬 코발트 산화물(LiCoO2), 리튬 니켈 산화물(LiNiO2) 및 리튬 복합금속 산화물 등이 사용되고 있다. 그 외에도 저가격 고안정성의 스피넬형 리튬 망간 산화물(LiMn2O4), 올리빈형 인산철, 인산 망간 및 인산 복합금속 리튬 화합물도 주목받고 있다.As the cathode active material of the lithium secondary battery, lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2 ), lithium nickel oxide (LiNiO 2 ), and lithium composite metal oxide are used. In addition, spinel-type lithium manganese oxide (LiMn 2 O 4 ) of low cost and high stability, olivine type iron phosphate, manganese phosphate, and lithium phosphate compound metal compound are attracting attention.
하지만, 리튬 코발트 산화물이나 리튬 니켈 산화물, 리튬 복합금속 산화물은 기본적인 전지 특성은 우수하지만, 열 안정성과 과충전 안전성 등이 충분하지 않다. 따라서 이를 개선하기 위한 별도의 안전장치가 추가로 필요하며, 또한 활 물질 자체의 가격이 비싼 단점이 있다. However, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide, and lithium composite metal oxide are excellent in basic battery characteristics but insufficient in thermal stability and overcharge safety. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that an additional safeguard device is needed to improve it, and the price of the active material itself is high.
또한, 리튬 망간 산화물 LiMn2O4의 경우 +3가의 망간 양이온에 기인하는 얀-텔러 뒤틀림 (Jahn-Teller distortion)이라는 구조변이 때문에 수명 특성이 좋지 않다는 치명적인 단점을 나타낸다. 이는 또한 낮은 전기용량으로 인해 고에너지 밀도에 대한 요구를 충분히 만족시키지 못한다. 올리빈형 인산철 및 인산망간 리튬 화합물은 전기 전도성이 상당히 낮기 때문에 우수한 전지 특성을 기대하기 어렵고 또한 평균 작동전위가 낮아 고용량화에 대한 요구를 충분히 만족시키지 못한다.In addition, LiMn 2 O 4 of lithium manganese oxide shows a fatal disadvantage that life characteristics are poor due to the structure of the Jang-Teller distortion due to the +3 manganese cation. It also fails to adequately meet the demand for high energy density due to low electrical capacity. The olivine-type ferric phosphate and manganese phosphate lithium compounds have low electric conductivity and thus are not expected to exhibit excellent battery characteristics and have low average operating potentials, failing to satisfy the demand for high capacity.
이에 반해 오르쏘실리케이트계 화합물(orthosilicate, Li2MSiO4, M=Fe, Mn, Ni, Co)은 가격이 저렴할 뿐만 아니라 높은 열안정성을 가지며 및 환경친화적인 물질로 여겨지고 있다. 더 나아가, Li2MSiO4는 330 mAh/g로 올리빈형 보다 높은 이론적 용량을 가지고 있다고 알려져 있지만, 전기전도성이 나쁘다는 단점을 가지고 있다.On the other hand, orthosilicate compounds (orthosilicate, Li 2 MSiO 4 , M = Fe, Mn, Ni and Co) are considered to be not only inexpensive, but also have high thermal stability and are environmentally friendly. Furthermore, Li 2 MSiO 4 is known to have a theoretical capacity higher than olivine type at 330 mAh / g, but it has the disadvantage of poor electrical conductivity.
따라서, 본 발명이 해결하려는 과제는 높은 전기 전도성을 갖는 Li2MM'SiO4 기반의 리튬이차전지용 양극 활 물질을 제공하는 것이다.Therefore, a problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide Li 2 MM'SiO 4 Based cathode active material for a lithium secondary battery.

본 발명은 상기 또 다른 과제를 해결하기 위하여, 상술한 양극 활 물질의 제조방법을 제공한다.In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned cathode active material.
도 1은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 양극 활 물질의 단계도이다.FIG. 1 is a step diagram of a cathode active material according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 1을 참조하면, 먼저 상술한 LinMO4 중 MO4 를 이루는 금속 또는 무기 염 또는 이들의 혼합 염과 탄소원 또는 리튬티탄산화물 또는 이들의 혼합물을 용액에 혼합하여, 분산시킨다. 이때 상기 분산은 초음파의 가진 또는 기계적 교반 방식 또는 이 둘 다가 모두 사용될 수 있다. 즉, 본 발명에서 전구체 분말(금속염 등)은 탄소원 또는 리튬티탄산화물과 습식혼합되는 단계로부터 양극 활 물질이 제조된다. Referring to FIG. 1, first, Li n MO 4 A metal or inorganic salt or mixed salt thereof constituting MO 4 and a carbon source or lithium titanium oxide or a mixture thereof are mixed and dispersed in a solution. The dispersion may be either an ultrasonic wave excitation or a mechanical stirring method or both. That is, in the present invention, the cathode active material is prepared from the step of wet mixing the precursor powder (metal salt or the like) with a carbon source or lithium titanium oxide.
이후, 상기 분산되어 습식 혼합된 혼합물은 세척된다. 다시, 상기 세척된 혼합물에 리튬염이 혼합되며, 상기 리튬염이 혼합된 상기 혼합물은 다시 용액에 혼입되어, 분산된 후, 반응과정을 거치게 된다. 본 발명의 일 실시예에서 상기 리튬염은 Li2NO3, Li2CO3, LiOH 등을 사용하였다. 특히 본 발명의 일 실시예에서는 상기 분산 및 반응 과정에서 일정한 에너지를 음파 형태로 공급하는 음향화학(Sonochemistry) 기반의 초음파 가진 공정이 독립적으로 또는 기계적 교반과 함께 사용되어, 입자상에 탄소원 등이 코팅된 양극 활 물질 복합체를 효과적이고 경제적인 방식으로 제조하였다. 이후, 상기 반응물은 건조되며, 상기 건조된 반응물은 열처리된다. The dispersed, wet mixed mixture is then washed. Again, the washed mixture is mixed with a lithium salt, and the mixture in which the lithium salt is mixed is mixed again in the solution, dispersed, and then subjected to a reaction process. In one embodiment of the present invention, the lithium salt is Li 2 NO 3 , Li 2 CO 3 , LiOH, or the like. In particular, in an embodiment of the present invention, a sonochemical-based ultrasonic vibration process for supplying a constant energy in the form of sound waves in the dispersion and reaction processes is used independently or with mechanical stirring, The positive electrode active material composite was prepared in an effective and economical manner. Thereafter, the reactant is dried and the dried reactant is heat treated.
본 발명에 따른 상기 습식 혼합은 전구체 분말을 수용액에 혼입한 후, 이를 분산시키는 방식인데, 상기 분산은 초음파 가진(음향화학, Sonochemistry), 또는 기계적 교반 방식으로 수행될 수 있다. 상기 열처리 공정은 비활성 또는 환원분위기에서 수행되어 상기 금속 화합물, 예를 들면 철이 산화되는 것을 억제하는 것이 바람직하며, 온도 조건은 500~1000 ℃에서 0.5~10 시간 열처리하여 얻어지는 입자 크기가 500nm 이하가 되도록 하는 것이 바람직하다. 왜냐하면, 500nm를 초과하는 경우, 각 성분들간의 균일한 밀도를 얻기 어렵기 때문이다.
The wet mixing according to the present invention is a method of mixing precursor powder into an aqueous solution and then dispersing it. The dispersion may be performed by ultrasonic wave excitation (sonochemistry), or mechanical stirring. Preferably, the heat treatment is performed in an inert or reducing atmosphere to inhibit oxidation of the metal compound, for example, iron, and the temperature is preferably 500 to 1000 ° C for 0.5 to 10 hours to obtain a particle size of 500 nm or less . This is because, when it exceeds 500 nm, it is difficult to obtain a uniform density between the respective components.

Mn(Ac)2·6H2O 0.3M 수용액 중에 나노 중공 섬유형 탄소인 탄소나노튜브(CNT) 2 중량%를 균일하게 분산시켜 분산액을 제조한다. 나노 중공 섬유형 탄소의 분산은 초음파 분산 방법과 고압분산 방법을 이용하였다. 이어서 상기 분산액을 연속적으로 흘려주면서 Na2SiO3·12H2O 0.15M을 이용, 분사하여 MnSiO3를 형성시키며, 원심분리기를 이용하여 Na을 제거하였다. Na가 제거된 염에 LiOH 0.1M, 수크로스(sucrose), 구연산(citric acid(Li2MnSiO3:citricacid:sucrose=1:0.3:0.05)) 수용액을 MnSiO3 수용액에 첨가한 후 1시간 교반 후, 반응기 내의 반응계를 저속으로 충분히 교반하거나 또는 상기 반응계에 초음파를 1시간 가진(음향화학, Sonochemistry)하였다. 이때 순환식항온조를 이용하여 반응기 내 온도를 30℃로 유지하고, 운전 주파수는 200 kHz 강도는 300 W, 반응기 내의 압력을 3 atm으로 일정하게 가압하였으며, 반응기 내부에는 아르곤 가스를 이용하였다. 반응 후 스프레이 건조기에서 150도에서 건조하였다. 건조 후 질소 분위기에서 750℃에서 24시간 소성하였다. 이로써, Li2MnSiO4 활성입자 상에 탄소가 코팅된 복합 양극 활 물질을 제조하였다.
2% by weight of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of nano hollow fiber type carbon are uniformly dispersed in an aqueous solution of Mn (Ac) 2 .6H 2 O 0.3M to prepare a dispersion. Ultrasonic dispersion and high pressure dispersion method were used for dispersion of nano hollow fiber carbon. The dispersion was then continuously sprayed using 0.15 M Na 2 SiO 3 .12H 2 O to form MnSiO 3 , and Na was removed using a centrifuge. An aqueous solution of LiOH 0.1M, sucrose, citric acid (Li 2 MnSiO 3 : citric acid: sucrose = 1: 0.3: 0.05) was added to the Na-depleted salt solution to the aqueous solution of MnSiO 3 and stirred for 1 hour , The reaction system in the reactor was sufficiently stirred at a low speed or the reaction system was sonicated for 1 hour (acoustical chemistry, sonochemistry). At this time, the temperature in the reactor was maintained at 30 ° C by using a circulating-type constant temperature bath, and the operation frequency was constantly 300 W at 300 kHz and the pressure in the reactor was 3 atm, and argon gas was used in the reactor. After the reaction, it was dried at 150 ° C in a spray drier. Dried and then calcined at 750 ° C for 24 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere. Thus, composite cathode active material coated with carbon on Li 2 MnSiO 4 active particles was prepared.

From the results of the cumulative particle size distribution, the particle sizes at the points where the cumulative particle sizes reached 10%, 50% and 90% were determined to be d10, d50 and d90, respectively, and the results are shown in Table 1.

The tap density was calculated by adding 50 g of material to the cylinder, measuring the volume after 2000 times of tapping, and calculating the tap density. The results are shown in Table 1 above. The cell performance decreased as the carbon material and CNT were added to the composite cathode active material. However, as the cell performance including the first carbon source (sucrose) and the second carbon source was included in the final battery evaluation, the cell performance increased. Therefore, the above results show that the cathode active material according to the present invention improves the electric conductivity, which is a problem of manganese, and produces excellent battery performance. Especially, when the carbon nanotubes and the carbon source sucrose are used together, the effect becomes clearer.

For the battery evaluation, the composite cathode active material: conductive material: binder prepared according to the present invention was weighed at a weight ratio of 85: 8: 7. The mixed material was made into a slurry, applied to an aluminum thin film, and then dried at 120 ° C for 8 hours to prepare an electrode plate, and the produced electrode plate was pressed. A 2030-type coin cell was prepared using Li metal as the cathode, and 1M-LiPF6 dissolved in EC-DEC (volume ratio 1: 1) was used as the electrolyte solution. Charging and discharging were performed at a charging condition of 4.4 V and a discharging condition of 3.0 V, and the results are shown in FIG.
도 7에서 나타난 바와 같이 탄소물질과 CNT를 동시에 포함하지 않는 양극 활물질은 방전 비용량이 아주 좋지 않음을 알 수 있으며, CNT와 탄소물질이 동시에 포함 복합 양극 활물질이 아주 좋은 방전 비용량을 가진다. 이는 탄소물질과 CNT가 전기 전도성을 향상 시켜 주는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한, 탄소 물질과 LTO가 동시에 첨가된 실시예 1에서 아주 좋은 비용량을 보였다. 이는 LTO가 전극물질의 안정성을 높여 일어난 현상으로 보인다.As shown in FIG. 7, it can be seen that the cathode active material which does not contain the carbon material and CNT at the same time has a very low discharge cost, and the composite cathode active material including the CNT and the carbon material simultaneously has a very good discharge specific capacity. It can be seen that the carbon material and CNT improve the electrical conductivity. In addition, in Example 1 in which the carbon material and LTO were simultaneously added, a very good specific capacity was shown. This seems to be the phenomenon that LTO increased the stability of the electrode material.
