기술분야Technical Field
본 발명은 고온 저장 특성이 향상된 리튬 이차전지에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery having improved high temperature storage characteristics.
최근 에너지 저장 기술에 대한 관심이 갈수록 높아지고 있으며, 휴대폰, 캠코더 및 노트북 PC, 나아가서는 전기자동차의 에너지원까지 그 적용분야가 확대되면서, 전기화학소자의 연구와 개발에 대한 노력이 점점 구체화되고 있다.Recently, interest in energy storage technology is increasing, and as the field of application of energy sources of mobile phones, camcorders, notebook PCs, and even electric vehicles has been expanded, efforts for research and development of electrochemical devices have been increasingly realized.
특히, 전기화학소자 중에서도 충방전이 가능한 이차전지에 대한 관심이 대두되고 있으며, 이 중 1990년대 초에 개발된 리튬 이차전지는 작동 전압이 높고 에너지 밀도가 월등히 크다는 장점에서 각광 받고 있다.In particular, interest in secondary batteries capable of charging and discharging among electrochemical devices is emerging, and among them, lithium secondary batteries developed in the early 1990s are attracting attention due to their high operating voltage and excellent energy density.
현재 적용되고 있는 리튬 이차전지는 리튬이온을 흡장 및 방출할 수 있는 음극과, 리튬 함유 전이금속 산화물 등으로 이루어진 양극, 및 카보네이트계 유기용매에 리튬염이 용해된 비수전해액으로 구성된다. The lithium secondary battery currently applied is composed of a negative electrode capable of occluding and releasing lithium ions, a positive electrode made of a lithium-containing transition metal oxide, and the like, and a non-aqueous electrolyte in which lithium salt is dissolved in a carbonate-based organic solvent.
리튬 이차전지는 충전에 의해 양극으로부터 나온 리튬 이온이 음극 내에 삽입되고 방전시 다시 탈리되는 현상을 반복하면서 에너지를 전달하여 충방전이 가능하게 된다.In the lithium secondary battery, charging and discharging are possible by transferring energy while repeating a phenomenon in which lithium ions from the positive electrode are inserted into the negative electrode by charge and are detached again during discharge.
한편, 리튬 이차전지는 초기 충전시 0.5V~3.5V 영역에서 전해액 첨가제 성분들과 유기용매들 중 일부가 분해되면서 음극 표면에 피막을 형성하고, 양극으로부터 발생한 리튬 이온이 음극으로 이동하면서, 음극 표면에서 전해액과 반응하여 Li2CO3, Li2O, LiOH 등의 화합물을 생성한다. 이들 화합물은 음극 표면에 일종의 부동태 피막(passivation layer)을 형성하게 되는데, 이러한 피막을 고체 전해질 계면(solid electrolyte interface: SEI) 막이라고 한다. Meanwhile, in the rechargeable lithium battery, during the initial charging, some of the electrolyte additive components and organic solvents are decomposed in the region of 0.5 V to 3.5 V to form a film on the surface of the negative electrode, and lithium ions generated from the positive electrode move to the negative electrode. And react with the electrolyte to produce compounds such as Li 2 CO 3 , Li 2 O, LiOH. These compounds form a kind of passivation layer on the surface of the cathode, which is called a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film.
충전 초기에 형성된 SEI 막은 음극 표면에서 카보네이트 계열 전해액의 분해를 억제하여 전지를 안정화시키는 보호막으로서의 역할을 한다.The SEI film formed at the beginning of charging serves as a protective film for stabilizing a battery by inhibiting decomposition of a carbonate-based electrolyte solution at the negative electrode surface.
그러나, 유기 용매와 리튬염에 의해서만 생성되는 SEI막은 지속적인 보호막으로서의 역할을 수행하기에 다소 불충분하여, 전지의 충방전이 지속적으로 진행되거나, 특히 만충전 상태에서의 고온 저장시, 증가된 전기 화학적 에너지와 열 에너지에 의해 서서히 붕괴될 수 있다. 이러한 SEI막의 붕괴로 인해 노출된 음극활물질 표면과 전해액 용매가 반응하여 분해되는 부반응이 지속적으로 발생하게 되며, 이로 인해 전지의 용량 저하, 수명 감소, 저항 증가 등 전지 특성의 열화 현상이 발생하게 된다. 또한, 이와 같은 부반응은 전지 내부에 CO, CO2, CH4, C2H6 등의 가스 발생을 초래하게 되는데, 이러한 지속적인 기체 발생은 고온에서 리튬 이차 전지의 내부 압력을 상승시켜 전지 두께를 팽창시키는 원인이 될 뿐만 아니라, 결국 이차전지의 안전성을 저하시킬 수 있다.However, the SEI film produced only by the organic solvent and the lithium salt is somewhat insufficient to serve as a continuous protective film, so that the charging and discharging of the battery is continuously progressed or increased electrochemical energy, especially at high temperature storage in a full charge state. It can be disintegrated slowly by heat energy. Due to the collapse of the SEI film, side reactions in which the exposed surface of the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte solvent are decomposed continuously occur, thereby deteriorating battery characteristics such as a decrease in battery capacity, a decrease in lifespan, and an increase in resistance. In addition, such side reactions result in the generation of gases such as CO, CO 2 , CH 4 , C 2 H 6 inside the cell, and the continuous gas generation increases the internal pressure of the lithium secondary battery at high temperature, thereby expanding the cell thickness. In addition to causing the cause, the safety of the secondary battery can be reduced.

본 발명의 리튬 이차전지는 상기 화학식 1과 같은 Ni 함량이 0.65를 초과하는 고함량 니켈(Hi-Ni)을 포함하는 전이금속 산화물을 양극활물질로 포함하는 양극을 구비함으로써, 높은 에너지 밀도를 확보하여 리튬 이차전지의 출력 특성을 향상시킬 수 있다. Lithium secondary battery of the present invention by providing a positive electrode containing a transition metal oxide containing a high content nickel (Hi-Ni) as a positive electrode active material Ni content of more than 0.65 as shown in Formula 1, to ensure a high energy density The output characteristic of a lithium secondary battery can be improved.
상기 양극활물질은 그 대표적인 예로 Li(Ni0.8Mn0.1Co0.1)O2를 포함할 수 있다.The cathode active material may include Li (Ni 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 ) O 2 as a representative example.
한편, 상기 화학식 1로 표시되는 화합물과 같이 Ni 함량이 0.65를 초과하는 고함량 니켈(Hi-Ni) 산화물의 경우, Li+1 이온과 Ni+2 이온의 크기가 유사하기 때문에 충방전 과정에서 상기 양극활물질의 층상 구조내에서 Li+1 이온과 Ni+2 이온의 자리가 바뀌는 양이온 혼합 (cation mixing) 현상이 발생한다. 즉, 양극 활물질 내에 포함된 Ni의 산화수 변동에 따라 고온 등의 환경에서 d 궤도를 가지는 니켈 전이금속이 배위 결합시 정팔면체 구조를 가져야 하나 외부의 에너지 공급에 의하여, 에너지 레벨의 순서가 뒤바뀌거나, 산화수가 변동되는 불균일화 반응에 의하여 뒤틀어진 팔면체를 형성하게 되면서, 양극 활물질의 결정 구조의 변형 및 붕괴를 가져온다. 더욱이, 고온 저장 시 양극활물질과 전해액의 부반응에 의해 양극 활물질로부터 전이금속, 특히 니켈 금속이 용출되는 또 다른 부반응이 야기됨에 따라, 전해액 고갈과 함께 양극활물질의 구조 붕괴로 인한 이차전지의 제반 성능 저하된다.On the other hand, in the case of a high content nickel (Hi-Ni) oxide having a Ni content of more than 0.65, such as the compound represented by the formula (1), the Li + 1 ions and Ni + 2 ions are similar in the charge and discharge process In the layered structure of the positive electrode active material, cation mixing phenomenon occurs in which the positions of Li + 1 and Ni + 2 ions are changed. That is, the nickel transition metal having a d-orbit should have an octahedral structure when coordinating bonds in an environment such as a high temperature according to a change in the oxidation number of Ni contained in the positive electrode active material, but the order of the energy levels is reversed by external energy supply, The distorted octahedron is formed by the heterogeneous reaction in which the oxidation number is varied, resulting in the deformation and collapse of the crystal structure of the positive electrode active material. Furthermore, as the secondary reaction of the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte during high temperature storage causes another side reaction in which the transition metal, in particular nickel metal, is eluted from the positive electrode active material, deterioration of overall performance of the secondary battery due to electrolyte depletion and structural collapse of the positive electrode active material. do.

Therefore, since a sufficient amount of nickel transition metal for securing the capacity of the lithium secondary battery can be ensured, it is possible to prevent the output characteristics from being lowered by increasing the energy density.

(i) 비수계 유기용매(i) non-aqueous organic solvent
상기 비수전해액 성분 중 하나인 비수계 유기용매는 이차전지의 충방전 과정에서 산화 반응 등에 의한 분해를 최소화하면서, 첨가제와 함께 목적하는 특성을 발휘하기 위하여 카보네이트계 용매를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.The non-aqueous organic solvent, which is one of the non-aqueous electrolyte components, preferably minimizes decomposition by an oxidation reaction during charging and discharging of a secondary battery, and uses a carbonate-based solvent to exhibit desired properties with an additive.

예컨대, 종래 카보네이트계 유기용매를 포함하는 비수전해액을 구비한 리튬 이차전지의 경우, 양극 및 음극 표면에 견고하고 얇은 SEI 막을 형성하여 출력 특성을 향상시키는 효과를 확보할 수 있다.For example, in the case of a lithium secondary battery having a nonaqueous electrolyte containing a conventional carbonate organic solvent, it is possible to secure the effect of improving the output characteristics by forming a solid and thin SEI film on the positive and negative electrode surfaces.
다만, 고온 저장 시 및/또는 극한의 환경하에서 SEI 막이 해리되거나 전해액이 분해 및 고갈되면서, 양극 및/또는 음극이 노출되어 전해액과의 부반응이 야기되기 때문에, 양극 및/또는 음극의 구조 붕괴가 야기될 수 있다.However, as the SEI film dissociates or the electrolyte decomposes and depletes under high temperature storage and / or in an extreme environment, the anode and / or cathode are exposed to cause side reactions with the electrolyte, resulting in structural collapse of the anode and / or cathode. Can be.
이에, 본 발명에서는 상기 혼합 첨가제들을 포함하는 비수전해액을 구비함으로써, 양극 및 음극 표면에 보다 견고한 이온전도성 피막 형성할 수 이고, 이에 따라 출력 특성을 확보함과 동시에 전극과 전해액의 부반응을 방지하여 고온 저장 특성 및 고온 사이클 특성을 보다 개선된 리튬 이차전지를 제조할 수 있다.Thus, in the present invention, by providing a non-aqueous electrolyte containing the mixed additives, it is possible to form a more robust ion conductive film on the surface of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, thereby ensuring output characteristics and at the same time to prevent side reactions between the electrode and the electrolyte at high temperature A lithium secondary battery having improved storage characteristics and high temperature cycle characteristics can be manufactured.
이때, 상기 리튬 디플루오로포스페이트, 테트라비닐실란 및 설톤계 화합물의 중량비는 1:0.05:0.1 내지 1:1:1.5, 구체적으로 1:0.07:0.3 내지 1:0.7:1, 더욱 구체적으로 1:0.1:0.5 내지 1:0.5:0.8일 수 있다.At this time, the weight ratio of the lithium difluorophosphate, tetravinylsilane and sultone-based compound is 1: 0.05: 0.1 to 1: 1: 1.5, specifically 1: 0.07: 0.3 to 1: 0.7: 1, more specifically 1: 0.1: 0.5 to 1: 0.5: 0.8.
본 발명의 비수전해액 내에 상기 첨가제의 각 성분들이 상기 비율로 혼합되어 있는 경우, 제반 성능이 더욱 향상된 이차전지를 제조할 수 있다.When each component of the additive is mixed in the ratio in the nonaqueous electrolyte of the present invention, a secondary battery having improved overall performance can be manufactured.

Specifically, the lithium difluorophosphate, which is one of the additive components of the non-aqueous electrolyte, is a component for implementing long-term life characteristics improvement effect of the secondary battery, and is electrochemically decomposed at the surface of the anode and the cathode to help form an ion conductive film. Since it is possible to suppress the elution of the metal from the positive electrode and prevent side reaction between the electrode and the electrolyte, it is possible to implement the effect of improving the high temperature storage characteristics and cycle life characteristics of the secondary battery.
상기 리튬 디플루오로포스페이트는 비수전해액 전체 중량을 기준으로 2 중량% 미만으로 포함되는 것이 바람직하다. 상기 리튬 디플루오로포스페이트 함량이 2 중량% 이상인 경우, 비수계 유기용매 내에 용해되지 않고 석출된 채로 존재하기 때문에, 이로 인한 전지의 저항이 증가하거나, 또는 충방전시 전해액 내의 부반응이 과도하게 발생하여, 이차전지의 사이클 수명 등이 저하될 수 있다.The lithium difluorophosphate is preferably included in less than 2% by weight based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte. When the lithium difluorophosphate content is 2% by weight or more, it is present as a precipitate without dissolving in the non-aqueous organic solvent, thereby increasing the resistance of the battery or excessive side reactions in the electrolyte during charging and discharging. The cycle life of the secondary battery may be reduced.
또한, 상기 첨가제 성분 중 하나인 상기 테트라비닐실란은 이차전지의 고온 저장시의 안정성을 향상시키기 위한 성분으로, 이를 포함하는 경우 양극과 음극 표면에 물리적 흡착 및 전기화학적 반응을 통하여 견고한 이온전도성 막이 생성될 수 있으므로, 이를 통하여 고온 저장 시 전해액의 부반응과 이로부터 야기되는 저항 증가 등을 억제할 수 있다.In addition, the tetravinylsilane, which is one of the additive components, is a component for improving stability during high temperature storage of a secondary battery, and when it is included, a solid ion conductive membrane may be formed through physical adsorption and electrochemical reaction on the surface of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. Because of this, it is possible to suppress side reactions of the electrolyte and increase in resistance caused therefrom during high temperature storage.

상기 첨가제 성분 중 하나인 설톤계 화합물은 고온 안정성을 향상시키기 위한 성분으로, 이를 포함하는 경우 음극 표면에 SEI 막 외에 고온 보존 시에도 균열되지 않는 안정적인 보호막을 형성할 수 있다. 이러한 보호막에 의해 피복된 음극은 천연 흑연이나 인조 흑연 등의 활성으로 고결정화한 탄소 재료를 음극에 사용했을 경우에도 고온 저장 시에 음극 활물질에 의한 비수용매의 분해를 억제하여 가스 발생을 억제할 수 있다. 더욱이, 상기 보호막은 전지의 충방전의 정상적인 반응을 방해하지 않는다. 따라서, 이차전지의 상온 및 고온에서 사이클 수명, 용량 및 저항 등의 성능을 개선할 수 있다.The sultone compound, which is one of the additive components, is a component for improving high temperature stability, and when it is included, a stable protective film that does not crack upon high temperature storage in addition to the SEI film. The negative electrode coated with the protective film can suppress the generation of non-aqueous solvent by the negative electrode active material during high temperature storage even when a carbon material highly crystallized by active such as natural graphite or artificial graphite is used for the negative electrode. have. Moreover, the protective film does not interfere with the normal reaction of charge and discharge of the battery. Therefore, performances such as cycle life, capacity and resistance can be improved at room temperature and high temperature of the secondary battery.
이러한 설톤계 화합물은 그 대표적인 예로 1,3-프로판설톤(1,3-Propane Sultone; PS), 1,4-부탄 설톤 및 1,3-프로펜설톤(1,3-Propene sultone; PPS)으로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택되는 적어도 하나 이상일 수 있으며, 구체적으로 1,3-프로판 설톤(Propane Sultone; PS) 및 1,3-프로펜 설톤(1,3-Propene sultone; PPS) 중 적어도 하나 이상일 수 있으며, 더욱 구체적으로 1,3-프로판 설톤을 포함할 수 있다.Such sultone compounds include 1,3-propane sultone (PS), 1,4-butane sultone and 1,3-propene sultone (PPS). At least one selected from the group consisting of, specifically may be at least one or more of 1,3-propane sultone (PS) and 1,3-propene sultone (PPS), More specifically, it may include 1,3-propane sultone.
상기 설톤계 화합물은 리튬 디플루오로포스페이트 1 중량에 대해 0.1 이상 1.5 이하의 중량비로 포함될 수 있으며, 이 범위 내로 포함되는 경우 저항 증가 없이 SEI 막의 안정화 효과를 확보할 수 있고, 전해액 부반응 억제하여 이차전지의 고온 저장 특성 및 사이클 수명 특성을 개선할 수 있다. The sultone-based compound may be included in a weight ratio of 0.1 or more and 1.5 or less with respect to 1 weight of lithium difluorophosphate, when included in this range can ensure the stabilization effect of the SEI membrane without increasing the resistance, by inhibiting the side reaction of the electrolyte secondary battery It is possible to improve the high temperature storage characteristics and cycle life characteristics of the.
특히, 상기 설톤계 화합물은 비수전해액 전체 중량을 기준으로 최대 4 중량% 이하, 구체적으로 3 중량% 이하로 포함될 수 있다. 상기 비수전해액 중에 설톤계 화합물의 총 함량이 4 중량%를 초과하는 경우, 지나치게 두꺼운 피막이 형성되어 저항 증가와 출력 열화가 발생할 수 있다.In particular, the sultone-based compound may be included up to 4% by weight, specifically 3% by weight or less, based on the total weight of the nonaqueous electrolyte. When the total content of the sultone compound in the non-aqueous electrolyte exceeds 4% by weight, an excessively thick film may be formed to increase resistance and deteriorate output.
또한, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 리튬 이차전지에 있어서, 상기 혼합 첨가제는 비수전해액 전체 중량을 기준으로 0.1 중량% 내지 7 중량%, 구체적으로 0.1 중량% 내지 5 중량%, 보다 구체적으로 0.1 중량% 내지 3.5 중량%로 포함될 수 있다.In addition, in the lithium secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention, the mixed additive is 0.1 wt% to 7 wt%, specifically 0.1 wt% to 5 wt%, more specifically 0.1 wt% based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte % To 3.5% by weight may be included.
상기 첨가제의 함량이 0.1 중량% 보다 적으면 전지의 저온 출력 개선 및 고온 저장 특성 및 고온 수명 특성 개선의 효과가 미미하고, 상기 첨가제의 함량이 7 중량%를 초과하면 잉여의 첨가제들에 의해 충방전시 부반응이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 특히, 상기 첨가제들이 과량으로 첨가될 시에 고온에서 충분히 분해되지 못하고, 상온에서 전해액 내에서 미반응물 또는 석출된 채로 존재하기 때문에, 이로 인한 저항이 증가하여, 이차전지의 사이클 수명 특성이 저하될 수 있다.When the content of the additive is less than 0.1% by weight, the effect of improving the low temperature output, the high temperature storage characteristics, and the high temperature life characteristics of the battery is insignificant, and when the content of the additive exceeds 7% by weight, it is charged and discharged by excess additives. Side reactions may occur. In particular, since the additives are not sufficiently decomposed at high temperatures when added in excess, and remain unreacted or precipitated in the electrolyte at room temperature, the resulting resistance may increase, thereby reducing cycle life characteristics of the secondary battery. have.
이와 같이, 본 발명의 실시예에서는 상기 혼합 첨가제의 종류 및 함량 범위를 조절하여 각자의 기능을 상호 보완하면서, 양극 및 음극 표면에 안정한 이온전도성 막 또는 보호막을 형성함으로써, 전해액과의 부반응을 억제하여 이차전지의 용량, 출력 및 고온에서의 수명 유지율을 효율적으로 제어할 수 있다.Thus, in the embodiment of the present invention by adjusting the type and content range of the mixed additive to complement each other, while forming a stable ion conductive membrane or a protective film on the surface of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, thereby suppressing side reactions with the electrolyte solution It is possible to efficiently control the capacity, output, and lifetime maintenance rate of the secondary battery at high temperatures.

Among these additional additives, vinylene carbonate, vinylethylene carbonate or succinonitrile may form a stable SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode together with lithium difluorophosphate during the initial activation process of the secondary battery.
상기 LiBF4는 고온 저장 시에 전해액의 분해로 인하여 생성될 수 있는 가스 발생을 억제하여, 이차전지의 고온 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있다. The LiBF 4 may suppress the generation of gas that may be generated due to decomposition of the electrolyte during high temperature storage, thereby improving the high temperature stability of the secondary battery.
상기 부가적 첨가제들은 2 종 이상이 혼합되어 포함될 수 있으며, 상기 혼합 첨가제가 포함된 비수전해액 전체 중량을 기준으로 0.01 내지 5 중량%, 구체적으로 0.01 내지 3 중량%, 보다 구체적으로 0.05 내지 3 중량%로 포함될 수 있다. 상기 부가적 첨가제의 함량이 0.01 중량% 보다 적으면 전지의 저온 출력 개선 및 고온 저장 특성 및 고온 수명 특성 개선의 효과가 미미하고, 상기 부가적 첨가제의 함량이 5 중량%를 초과하면 전지의 충방전시 전해액 내의 부반응이 과도하게 발생할 가능성이 있다. 특히, 상기 SEI 막 형성용 첨가제들이 과량으로 첨가될 시에 고온에서 충분히 분해되지 못하여, 상온에서 전해액 내에서 미반응물 또는 석출된 채로 존재하고 있을 수 있다. 이에 따라 이차전지의 수명 또는 저항특성이 저하되는 부반응이 발생될 수 있다.The additional additives may be included in a mixture of two or more kinds, based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte containing the mixed additive, 0.01 to 5% by weight, specifically 0.01 to 3% by weight, more specifically 0.05 to 3% by weight It may be included as. When the amount of the additional additive is less than 0.01% by weight, the effect of improving the low temperature output, the high temperature storage characteristics and the high temperature life characteristics of the battery is insignificant, and when the content of the additional additive exceeds 5% by weight, the battery is charged and discharged. There is a possibility of excessive side reactions in the electrolytic solution. In particular, the SEI film-forming additives may not be sufficiently decomposed at high temperatures when added in excess, and thus may remain unreacted or precipitated in the electrolyte at room temperature. Accordingly, a side reaction may occur in which the lifespan or resistance characteristics of the secondary battery are reduced.

특히, 양극 활물질로 LiCoO2를 포함하는 비교예 9의 이차전지의 경우, 양극표면에 생성되는 SEI 막의 안정도가 낮아 500 사이클 후 방전 용량 유지율(%) 및 고온 저장 후 용량 유지율(%) 및 저항 증가율 (%) 등이 리튬-니켈-망간-코발트계 산화물을 포함하는 실시예 1의 이차전지에 비하여 상대적으로 열화된 것을 알 수 있다. In particular, in the secondary battery of Comparative Example 9 including LiCoO 2 as the positive electrode active material, the stability of the SEI film formed on the surface of the positive electrode was low, so that the discharge capacity retention rate (%) after 500 cycles and the capacity retention rate (%) after high temperature storage and the resistance increase rate It can be seen that (%) and the like are relatively degraded as compared with the secondary battery of Example 1 containing a lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-based oxide.
한편, 상대적으로 과량의 리튬 디플루오로포스페이트가 포함된 비수전해액을 구비한 비교예 5의 리튬 이차전지의 경우, 비수전해액 내에 리튬 디플루오로포스페이트가 완전히 용해되지 않고 석출된 채로 존재하기 때문에, 이차전지의 저항 및 특성 효과를 측정하기 어려웠다.On the other hand, in the case of the lithium secondary battery of Comparative Example 5 having a nonaqueous electrolyte solution containing a relatively excessive amount of lithium difluorophosphate, since the lithium difluoro phosphate is not completely dissolved in the nonaqueous electrolyte solution, it is secondary. The resistance and characteristic effects of the cell were difficult to measure.
