Definitions
- the present invention relates to a non-aqueous lithium storage element.
- the first requirement in these power storage systems is that the energy density of the battery used is high.
- the second requirement is high output characteristics.
- a high-efficiency engine and a power storage system for example, a hybrid electric vehicle
- a fuel cell and a power storage system for example, a fuel cell electric vehicle
- an electric double layer capacitor using activated carbon as an electrode has been developed as a high-power storage device, and has an output characteristic of about 0.5 to 1 kW / L.
- These electric double layer capacitors have high durability (cycle characteristics, high-temperature storage characteristics) and have been considered to be optimal devices in the fields where the above high output is required, but the energy density is about 1 to 5 Wh / L. However, further improvement in energy density is necessary.
- nickel metal hydride batteries currently used in hybrid electric vehicles achieve high output equivalent to electric double layer capacitors and have an energy density of about 160 Wh / L.
- research is underway energetically to further increase the energy density and output, further improve the stability at high temperatures, and enhance the durability.
- a lithium ion battery has been developed that can obtain a high output exceeding 3 kW / L at a discharge depth (a value indicating what percentage of the discharge capacity of the storage element is discharged) 50%. It is 100 Wh / L or less, and is designed to deliberately suppress the high energy density, which is the greatest feature of lithium ion batteries. Further, its durability (cycle characteristics, high temperature storage characteristics) is inferior to that of an electric double layer capacitor. Therefore, in order to provide practical durability, the depth of discharge can only be used in a range narrower than the range of 0 to 100%. For this reason, the capacity that can be actually used is further reduced, and research for further improving the durability is being actively pursued.
- a lithium ion capacitor is a kind of energy storage device (non-aqueous lithium energy storage device) that uses a non-aqueous electrolyte containing a lithium salt, and the negative electrode adsorbs the same as an electric double layer capacitor at about 3 V or more at the positive electrode.
- a storage element that performs charge and discharge by a non-Faraday reaction by desorption and a Faraday reaction by occlusion / release of lithium ions in the negative electrode similar to a lithium ion battery.
- a lithium ion capacitor is a power storage element that aims to achieve both excellent input / output characteristics and high energy density by performing charge and discharge by a non-Faraday reaction at the positive electrode and a Faraday reaction at the negative electrode.

- An electric storage element using a carbonaceous material in which lithium is occluded in advance has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
- lithium was occluded in advance in a composite porous material in which a carbonaceous material was deposited on the surface of activated carbon as a positive electrode active material and activated carbon as a negative electrode active material (lithium generated at the negative electrode during charge and discharge).

There is a description of an electrode with a discharge capacity of 56% and an electrode with a discharge capacity (B) of 560 mAh / g and an initial efficiency (B / A) of 51%. In addition, there is a description of a lithium ion capacitor having a negative electrode obtained by electrochemically doping lithium with 1000 mAh / g or 500 mAh / g of lithium in the negative electrode active material having a weight ratio of 50%.

Further, there is a description of a lithium ion capacitor having a negative electrode in which lithium is electrochemically pre-doped with 400 mAh / g to 700 mAh / g of a negative electrode active material having a weight ratio of 31.6% to 69.7%.
- Patent Document 5 discloses that a negative electrode active material having a weight ratio of 16.3% to 77.3% is electrochemically predoped with lithium, whereby a dedoping capacity (B) is 312 to 456 mAh / g, There is a description of an electrode having an initial efficiency (B / A) of 27.1% to 66.7%. Further, there is a description of a lithium ion capacitor having a negative electrode obtained by electrochemically doping lithium with 500 mAh / g of lithium in the negative electrode active material having a weight ratio of 46.4%.
- Patent Document 6 describes a lithium ion capacitor having a negative electrode in which lithium is electrochemically pre-doped with 700 mAh / g to 1500 mAh / g of a negative electrode active material having a weight ratio of 62% to 97%.
- the durability evaluated in the float charging test is improved by controlling the amount of lithium ion pre-doping.

- the production conditions for lithium ion capacitors have been determined based on the evaluation criteria and the high value.
- the high value is preferable because the negative electrode potential can be used at a low potential in the charge and discharge process of the capacitor when used for the negative electrode of a lithium ion capacitor.
- the negative electrode of the lithium ion capacitor it is optimal that the pre-doping amount of lithium ion is as small as 400 to 700 mAh / g in a wide range where the weight ratio of the carbonaceous material to the activated carbon is 25 to 100%. It has been considered (only one example in Patent Document 3 is 1000 mAh / g).
- Patent Document 6 when the weight ratio of the carbonaceous material to the activated carbon is as large as 62 to 97% as the negative electrode of the lithium ion capacitor, the lithium ion pre-doping amount is 700 to 1500 mAh / g. It has been shown that increasing the size has an effect on improving durability.
- the lithium ion capacitor described in Patent Document 6 described above is excellent in output characteristics and durability, the output capacity and durability are further improved, the thickness of the negative electrode active material layer is reduced, and the capacitor volume is reduced. By doing so, it is desired to increase the energy density.
- the film thickness of the negative electrode active material layer is made thinner than 46 ⁇ m of the example, the energy density is improved, but the output characteristics and durability are compared with the case where the film thickness is large. It turned out to be reduced.

本発明における負極活物質は、負極活物質層に含まれ、かつ以下の1)、2)を同時に満足することを特徴とする:
作用極が負極、対極がリチウム、参照極がリチウム、電解液がエチレンカーボネートとメチルエチルカーボネートを体積比1:4で混合した溶媒に1mol/LとなるLiPF6を溶解したものにおける3極式セルにおいて、電流値が負極活物質当り100mA/gとなる値であり、かつセル温度が45℃であるという条件下で、定電流にてリチウムを充電し、負極電位が1mVになると定電圧に切り替えて更に充電をし、定電流定電圧充電で合計40時間後の充電量を初回リチウム充電量とし、上記充電後、電流値が負極活物質当り50mA/gとなる値であり、かつセル温度が45℃であるという条件下で、定電流にて負極電位が2.5Vになるまでリチウムを放電した際の放電量を初回リチウム放電量としたとき、

を満たすことが好ましい。
本発明における非水系リチウム型蓄電素子用正極は、正極集電体上に正極活物質層を設けたものである。
正極活物質層は正極活物質と結着剤を含有し、必要に応じて導電性フィラーを含有する。正極活物質としては、以下の活性炭1又は活性炭2が好ましく使用される。
活性炭1の種類及びその原料には特に制限はないが、高容量(すなわち高エネルギー密度)と高出力特性(すなわち高出力密度)とを両立させるために、活性炭の細孔を最適に制御することが好ましい。具体的には、BJH法により算出した直径20Å以上500Å以下の細孔に由来するメソ孔量をV1(cc/g)、MP法により算出した直径20Å未満の細孔に由来するマイクロ孔量をV2(cc/g)としたとき、0.3<V1≦0.8、及び0.5≦V2≦1.0を満たし、かつBET法により測定される比表面積が1500m2/g以上3000m2/g以下である活性炭が好ましい。

本発明では、上記炭素質材料(炭化物)を賦活する前に予め粉砕・分級しておくことが重要である。効率的に賦活化できるとともに、賦活化後の粉砕をした場合の新生界面による特性低下を防止することが可能となるからである。
粉砕する方法には、乾式粉砕、湿式粉砕いずれの方法でも構わないが、粉砕速度、連続操作性や動力消費量の点から、湿式粉砕が好ましい。湿式粉砕の場合、具体的には以下の条件を採用することができる。まず、金属、メノウやセラミック等の硬質な容器に、粉砕を施す試料と金属、ジルコニアやセラミック等の硬質なビーズ、溶媒を入れて粉砕を行う。容器は密閉できるものが好ましく、粉砕時には窒素、アルゴン等の不活性ガスで容器内部を置換することが好ましい。溶媒は水、有機溶媒を用いることができるが、沸点の低い有機溶媒は引火の危険性があるため適さない。粉砕時間は得られる資料の粒径により調整するが、長時間の粉砕は不純物が混入するおそれがある。粉砕によって、粒度分布が広がるので、篩によって分級することが好ましい。分級の結果、本発明では、1μmから30μmの間で分級することができる。上記の粉砕・分級工程で得られた炭素質材料を以下の方法で炭化し炭化物とする。
正極は、正極活物質層を正極集電体の片面のみに形成したものでもよいし、両面に形成したものでもよい。該正極活物質層の厚みは、例えば、片面あたり30μm以上200μm以下が好ましい。
正極集電体に正極活物質層を塗布した正極(17)を巻き取った巻き出しロール(12)を巻だしロール位置に設置する。図4に示すように、正極(17)を、第一のガイド(13)、加熱プレスロール(14)、第二のガイド(13)を順次経て、巻取りロール(15)に巻き取る。
本発明の蓄電素子は、上記のようにして成型された正極及び負極、並びにセパレータが積層又は捲廻積層された電極体と、非水系電解液と、金属缶又はラミネートフィルムから形成された外装体を含む。
本発明のキャパシタに用いられるセパレータは、正極電極体と負極電極体が直接電気的に接触しないように絶縁すると共に、その内部の空隙に電解液を保持して電極間のリチウムイオンの伝導経路を形成する役割を担う。本実施形態では、セパレータは、ポリエチレンを含むポリオレフィン樹脂から成る。
X1=(L1又はL1'/(A/2))×100
に代入して求めたX1と、
上面視における、該セパレータの第二の方向と平行となる任意の直線において、該任意の直線における該電極面積と該セパレータとが重なる部分の長さをBとし、該電極面積と該セパレータが重ならない部分の長さをL2、L2’とした時、L2、L2'のいずれかが最も短くなるような任意の直線のL2又はL2'を下記式(2):
X2=(L2又はL2'/(A/2))×100
に代入して求めたX2が、いずれも0.5以上8.0以下である。
マージンを、電極からはみ出したセパレータの幅(L1、L2、L3、L4)と電極幅(A1、A2)との割合で規定した。
最も短い幅のマージン部分(L1)が、最も早く加熱により電極の内側に縮み、短絡を生じることになる。(L1<L3<L2<L4)。そこで、最も短い幅のマージン部分(L1)を様々な形状に対応する特定方法とした。
まず、セパレータの方向を特定する。セパレータには製造上,MD方向、TD方向が存在し、流通品も分解して加熱し、熱収縮状態から方向が特定できる。よって、MD方向,TD方向で特定することとした。ここで、MD方向=第一方向、TD方向=第二方向とした。
マージン=[L1/(A1/2)]×100(%)
電極幅を(A1/2)を基準とすることで「A1とL1、L3」、「A2とL2、L4」の熱収縮の割合を均等化した。
電極体において、正極に正極端子の一端を電気的に接続し、負極に負極端子の一端を電気的に接続する。具体的には、正極集電体の正極活物質層未塗布領域に正極端子、負極集電体の負極活物質層未塗布領域に負極端子を電気的に接続する。正極端子の材質がアルミニウムであり、負極端子の材質がニッケルメッキされた銅であることが好ましい。
上記の外装体に使用される金属缶としては、アルミニウム製のものが好ましい。また、外装体に使用されるラミネートフィルムは、金属箔と樹脂フィルムを積層したフィルムが好ましく、外層樹脂フィルム/金属箔/内装樹脂フィルムから成る3層構成のものが例示される。外層樹脂フィルムは、接触等により金属箔が損傷を受けることを防止するためのものであり、外層樹脂フィルムとしては、ナイロン、ポリエステル等の樹脂が好適に使用できる。金属箔は、水分又はガスの透過を防ぐためのものであり、金属箔としては、銅、アルミニウム、ステンレス等の箔が好適に使用できる。また、内装樹脂フィルムは、内部に収納する電解液から金属箔を保護するとともに、ヒートシール時に溶融封口させるためのものであり、ポリオレフィン、酸変性ポリオレフィンが好適に使用できる。
本発明の蓄電素子に用いられる非水系電解液は、リチウムイオン含有電解質を含む非水系液体であればよい。そのような非水系液体は、有機溶媒を含んでよく、そのような有機溶媒としては、例えば、炭酸エチレン(EC)、炭酸プロピレン(PC)に代表される環状炭酸エステル、炭酸ジエチル(DEC)、炭酸ジメチル(DMC)、炭酸エチルメチル(MEC)に代表される鎖状炭酸エステル、γ-ブチロラクトン(γBL)などのラクトン類、ならびにこれらの混合溶媒を用いることができる。
本実施態様の非水系リチウム型蓄電素子においては、正極及び負極は、セパレータを介して積層又は捲廻積層された電極体として、金属缶又はラミネートフィルムから形成された外装体に挿入される。
本発明の蓄電素子の使用にあたっては、最大定格電圧と最小定格電圧の間で使用することが好ましい。最大定格電圧は、過充電とならない範囲で高い方が高容量であるため、例えば3.8~4.0Vの範囲内で設定される。また、最小定格電圧は、過放電とならない範囲で低い方が高容量であるため、例えば2.0~2.3Vの範囲内で設定される。
