Description

正極材、正極材之製造方法,及非水電解質電池 Positive electrode material, method for producing positive electrode material, and nonaqueous electrolyte battery

本發明係關於非水電解質電池之正極材。 The present invention relates to a positive electrode material for a nonaqueous electrolyte battery.

以鹼金屬及其化合物作為負極活性物質之非水電解質電池,係藉由鹼金屬離子對正極活性物質之吸收反應而可得大的放電容量,因此,隨著電腦、手機等之小型化而廣泛應用於資訊相關機器、通訊機器等之區域。該非水電解質電池之正極活性物質現在多使用LiCoO2等。但是,為所含元素之鈷為稀少元素而且非常高價,故為電池價格提高之要因,係希望取代其之低價之正極活性物質的開發。 A nonaqueous electrolyte battery using an alkali metal or a compound as a negative electrode active material has a large discharge capacity by absorption reaction of an alkali metal ion on a positive electrode active material, and thus is widely used with miniaturization of computers and mobile phones. It is applied to areas such as information related machines and communication machines. The positive electrode active material of the nonaqueous electrolyte battery now uses LiCoO 2 or the like. However, since the cobalt contained in the element is a rare element and is very expensive, it is a factor for improving the price of the battery, and it is desired to replace the low-priced positive electrode active material.

以往以來,係討論使用含有資源豐富之含鐵的鋰鐵複合氧化物(LixFeyOz)取代LiCoO2作為正極活性物質之非水電解質電池。但是,將鋰鐵複合氧化物作為正極活性物質時,有電池電壓為1.5V之低值,能量密度小之缺點,而留有無法獲得實用的電池之問題。 Conventionally, a nonaqueous electrolyte battery using a lithium iron composite oxide (Li x Fe y O z ) containing a rich amount of iron in place of LiCoO 2 as a positive electrode active material has been discussed. However, when a lithium iron composite oxide is used as a positive electrode active material, there is a disadvantage that the battery voltage is a low value of 1.5 V, and the energy density is small, and there is a problem that a practical battery cannot be obtained.

為此,作為替代手段,如專利文獻1至3所示,考慮到於正極活性物質使用不含有結構水之結晶性FeF3的非水電解 質電池。 For this reason, as an alternative, as shown in Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is considered that a nonaqueous electrolyte battery containing crystalline FeF 3 which does not contain structural water is used for the positive electrode active material.

若在正極活性物質之FeF3中***Li離子,認為經過FeF3並進一步藉由Li之***,會使反應進行到分解為Fe與LiF之轉換區域。但是,因FeF3中Fe與F之間的鍵結強,故難以引起到達轉換區域之反應。此外,難以從轉換區域再生為原本之FeF3,此認為是使電池性能降低之原因。因此,專利文獻1至3中,作為充放電之電壓範圍,僅在反應未進行到轉換區域之插層(intercalation)區域之電壓範圍(若為鋰離子二次電池則為4.5V至2V)會充放電。在該電壓範圍之充放電中,Li***/脫離於FeF3,僅有進行可逆的FeF3+xLi→LixFeF3反應,可得理論容量為230mAh/g左右。 When Li ions are inserted into FeF 3 of the positive electrode active material, it is considered that the reaction proceeds to a conversion region of Fe and LiF after passing through FeF 3 and further by insertion of Li. However, since the bond between Fe and F in FeF 3 is strong, it is difficult to cause a reaction to reach the conversion region. Further, it is difficult to regenerate from the conversion region to the original FeF 3 , which is considered to be a cause of degrading battery performance. Therefore, in Patent Documents 1 to 3, as the voltage range of charge and discharge, only the voltage range of the intercalation region where the reaction does not proceed to the conversion region (4.5 V to 2 V for a lithium ion secondary battery) Discharge. In the charge and discharge of this voltage range, Li is inserted/desorbed from FeF 3 , and only the reversible FeF 3 +xLi→Li x FeF 3 reaction is performed, and the theoretical capacity is about 230 mAh/g.

另一方面,若反應進行到轉換區域,則FeF3會分解而由Fe3+電解還原至Fe0,故理論上可得700mAh/g以上之容量,係期待二次電池之大幅高容量化。為此,如專利文獻4所示,藉由FeF3之微粒子化,而檢討利用到達轉換區域之反應,但尚末滿足其循環特性(壽命)。 On the other hand, when the reaction proceeds to the conversion region, FeF 3 is decomposed and electrolyzed to Fe 0 by Fe 3+ electrolysis, so theoretically, a capacity of 700 mAh/g or more can be obtained, and a large capacity of the secondary battery is expected to be increased. For this reason, as shown in Patent Document 4, the reaction to reach the conversion region is examined by the fine particles of FeF 3 , but the cycle characteristics (life) are satisfied.

本發明係鑑於如此課題而研究者,其目的係提供在 利用FeF3到達轉換反應時,可得安定循環特性之非水電解質蓄電池用之正極材、及其製造方法,進一步提供使用該正極材之非水電解質電池。 The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a positive electrode material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery which can obtain stable cycle characteristics when FeF 3 is used for a conversion reaction, and a method for producing the same, and further provide a positive electrode material.

A constant current of 40 mA/g was used for the charge and discharge test.

表3統整初期放電容量與10循環後之放電容量維持率。使用實施例2之正極材時,因以電化學為惰性之Al取代的量較比較例多,故初期放電容量減少,但10循環後之放電容量維持率為99%。另一方面,使用比較例3、4之正極材時,10循環後之放電容量維持率依序分別為47%、45%,與使用比較例之正極材時相比,使用實施例2之正極材時明顯循環特性有改善,表示以低溫與高溫之2階段而燒製之手法係較為優異。 Table 3 summarizes the initial discharge capacity and the discharge capacity retention rate after 10 cycles. When the positive electrode material of Example 2 was used, since the amount of Al which was electrochemically inert was more than that of the comparative example, the initial discharge capacity was decreased, but the discharge capacity retention rate after 10 cycles was 99%.
