Description

鋰電池及其製造方法Lithium battery and method of manufacturing same

本發明係一種鋰電池及其製造方法,特別是一種具有以微波加熱方式製造而得之正極活性物質層的鋰電池及其製造方法。The present invention relates to a lithium battery and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a lithium battery having a positive electrode active material layer produced by microwave heating and a method of manufacturing the same.

隨著可攜式電子產品日益受重視,其相關組件的性能也需隨之增強。故儲能材料也順應時代的趨勢,走向輕、薄、短、小的境界,其中鋰離子二次電池具能量密度高、循環壽命長、重量輕等優點而受青睞。目前世界各主要電池公司均積極開發體積更小、重量更輕、能量密度更高、具經濟、安全、環保性的二次電池。As portable electronic products become more and more important, the performance of their related components needs to be enhanced. Therefore, the energy storage materials are also in line with the trend of the times, moving towards a light, thin, short, and small realm. Among them, lithium ion secondary batteries are favored because of their high energy density, long cycle life, and light weight. At present, all major battery companies in the world are actively developing secondary batteries that are smaller, lighter in weight, higher in energy density, economical, safer and more environmentally friendly.

橄欖石結構(olivine structure)的磷酸鋰鐵(LiFePO4 )是一種稍微扭曲的六方最密堆積,其晶體則是由MO6 八面體、LiO6 八面體和PO4 四面體所構成的空間骨架。因為磷酸鋰鐵具有良好之電化學特徵、無環境污染、安全性較佳、原材料來源豐富、比容量高、循環性能及熱穩定性好且充放電效率高等優點,而被認為是極具應用潛力的鋰離子電池正極材料之一。Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ) in the olivine structure is a slightly twisted hexagonal closest packing, and its crystal is a space composed of MO 6 octahedron, LiO 6 octahedron and PO 4 tetrahedron. skeleton. Because lithium iron phosphate has good electrochemical characteristics, no environmental pollution, better safety, rich raw material sources, high specific capacity, good cycle performance and thermal stability, and high charge and discharge efficiency, it is considered to have great application potential. One of the cathode materials for lithium ion batteries.

習知,橄欖石結構LiFePO4 的合成方法多以固相反應法進行,亦即將鋰鹽、鐵鹽、和磷酸銨鹽依比例進行研磨混合成粉末後,再進行熱處理。然而固態反應法需要高溫、長時間、且顆粒較大(50 um)會導致導電度變差。而一般熱處理系統主要係利用加熱源於腔體中,產生熱對流、輻射以及傳導,使加熱體升溫至所需溫度。而微波加熱之所以優於傳統加熱,在於微波加熱的熱能是在材料內部產生的,若我們處理的是介電損耗較小的材料,微波可以穿透整個材料,使得材料的每個部位都可以直接與電磁場作用,因此產生的熱能是均勻的分布在整個體積,而傳統的方式熱必須先經由輻射與對流到達材料的表面,再由傳導的方式將熱傳至材料內部,熱流的方向是由外至內,完全與微波加熱相反。對於大體積的材料處理,傳統加熱一定會有溫度分布不均勻的現象產生,為了避免這種現象對材料有不良的影響,通常是降低高溫爐的升溫梯度,但是卻增加了整個加熱製程的時間,因此微波加熱的體積性與均勻性是它的一個優勢所在。電磁能轉換為熱能可以說是瞬間且高效率的轉換機制,因此使用微波加熱可以節約能源、降低製程溫度、減少製程時間,而且得到的材料特性更優於傳統加熱。Conventionally, the synthesis method of the olivine structure LiFePO 4 is mostly carried out by a solid phase reaction method, that is, the lithium salt, the iron salt, and the ammonium phosphate salt are ground and mixed into a powder, and then heat-treated. However, the solid state reaction method requires high temperature, long time, and large particles (50 um) cause conductivity to deteriorate. In general, the heat treatment system mainly uses heating source in the cavity to generate heat convection, radiation and conduction, so that the heating body is heated to a desired temperature. The reason why microwave heating is better than traditional heating is that the heat energy of microwave heating is generated inside the material. If we process the material with less dielectric loss, the microwave can penetrate the whole material, so that every part of the material can be Directly interacting with the electromagnetic field, the heat generated is evenly distributed throughout the volume. In the traditional way, heat must first reach the surface of the material via radiation and convection, and then transfer heat to the inside of the material. The direction of heat flow is External to internal, completely opposite to microwave heating. For large-volume material treatment, the traditional heating must have a phenomenon of uneven temperature distribution. In order to avoid this phenomenon, the temperature gradient of the high-temperature furnace is usually lowered, but the heating process is increased. Therefore, the volume and uniformity of microwave heating is one of its advantages. The conversion of electromagnetic energy into thermal energy can be said to be an instantaneous and efficient conversion mechanism, so the use of microwave heating can save energy, reduce process temperature, reduce process time, and obtain better material properties than conventional heating.

參照美國專利案第5,910,382號,其標題為「一種鋰二次電池之正極材料,Cathode materials for secondary(rechargeable) lithium batteries」。該專利揭露一種以鋰化合物、二價的鐵化合物,及磷酸化合物在固態下依比例加以混合,繼而在鈍性氣氛下以650℃~800℃的高溫進行熱處理24小時,以製得磷酸鋰鐵粉末。然而製程所耗時間長,於業界應用上追求縮短量產時間有所違背,且所形成的磷酸鋰鐵粉末具有粒徑較大且分布不均勻之缺點,因此無法在高電流下進行充放電動作。U.S. Patent No. 5,910,382, entitled "Cathode materials for secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries". The patent discloses a lithium compound, a divalent iron compound, and a phosphoric acid compound mixed in a solid state, and then heat-treated at a high temperature of 650 ° C to 800 ° C for 24 hours in a passive atmosphere to obtain lithium iron phosphate. powder. However, the process takes a long time, and it is contrary to the pursuit of shortening the mass production time in the industry application, and the formed lithium iron phosphate powder has the disadvantages of large particle size and uneven distribution, so it is impossible to perform charge and discharge operations under high current. .

參照美國專利案第6,528,033號,其標題為「一種製造鋰組成材料之方法,Method of making lithium-containing materials」。該專利揭露一種在鋰化合物、鐵化合物與磷酸化合物的混合物中添加有機物,使混合物中含有過量的碳以做為鐵金屬離子的還原劑,並在鈍性氣氛下以2℃/min速率升溫至750℃至950℃,利用熱碳還原反應製備磷酸鋰鐵。但是此方法會因大量有機物的添加,使得製作出的磷酸鋰鐵含有較高成分的碳,因為熱碳還原法中過多的碳會將鐵化合物還原成鐵金屬而損失許多比電容量。U.S. Patent No. 6,528,033, entitled "Method of making lithium-containing materials". The patent discloses an organic substance added to a mixture of a lithium compound, an iron compound and a phosphoric acid compound, which contains an excess amount of carbon as a reducing agent for iron metal ions, and is heated to a rate of 2 ° C / min in a passive atmosphere to Lithium iron phosphate was prepared by a hot carbon reduction reaction at 750 ° C to 950 ° C. However, this method results in the production of lithium iron phosphate containing a higher component of carbon due to the addition of a large amount of organic matter, because excessive carbon in the hot carbon reduction process reduces the iron compound to iron metal and loses a lot of specific capacity.

參照美國專利案第7,060,238號,其標題為「金屬磷酸鹽之製備,Synthesis of metal phosphates」。該專利揭示一種合成LiMnPO4 以及LiFePO4 之方法,其中更包含添加一金屬防止鐵氧化成三價鐵化合物,使製程過程中不需額外加入還原劑,也因此不會有碳殘留等問題。但此方式製得之鋰金屬正極材料,其導電率較低,且鋰電池具有較低電容量。Reference is made to U.S. Patent No. 7,060,238, entitled "Synthesis of metal phosphates." The patent discloses a method for synthesizing LiMnPO 4 and LiFePO 4 , which further comprises adding a metal to prevent oxidation of iron into a ferric iron compound, so that no additional reducing agent is added during the process, and thus there is no problem of carbon residue. However, the lithium metal positive electrode material obtained by this method has a low electrical conductivity and a lithium battery has a low electrical capacity.
