リチウムイオン伝導相内に分散しているシリコン粒子の結晶子サイズは、30nm以下であることが好ましい。シリコン粒子の結晶子サイズが30nm以下である場合、充放電に伴うシリコン粒子の膨張収縮による体積変化量を小さくでき、サイクル特性が更に高められる。シリコン粒子の結晶子サイズは、より好ましくは2nm以上、30nm以下であり、更に好ましくは2nm以上、20nm以下である。シリコン粒子の結晶子サイズが20nm以下である場合、シリコン粒子の膨張収縮を均一化でき、充放電のシリコン粒子の膨張収縮による粒子の微細クラックが低減され、サイクル特性を向上させることができる。
リチウムシリケートの原料には、Si原料と、Li原料とを所定の割合で含む原料混合物を用いる。原料混合物には、バナジウム原料(炭化バナジウム、バナジウム鉄合金など)を添加する。また、原料混合物に、上述のアルカリ金属元素、第II族元素、および/または、元素Mを含ませてもよい。原料混合物を溶解し、融液を金属ロールに通してフレーク化してリチウムシリケートを作製する。その後フレーク化したシリケートを大気雰囲気で、ガラス転移点以上、融点以下の温度で熱処理により結晶化させる。なお、フレーク化したシリケートは結晶化させずに使用することも可能である。原料混合物を溶解せずに、融点以下の温度で焼成して固相反応によりシリケートを製造することも可能である。
次に、リチウムシリケートに原料シリコンを配合して複合化を行う。例えば、以下の工程(a)~(c)を経てリチウムシリケートとシリコン粒子との複合粒子(以下、シリケート複合粒子とも称する。)であるケイ素含有材料が作製される。
原料シリコンの粉末とリチウムシリケートの粉末とを、例えば、20:80~95:5の質量比で混合する。原料シリコンには平均粒径が数μm~数十μm程度のシリコンの粗粒子を用いればよい。
次に、ボールミルのような粉砕装置を用いて、原料シリコンとリチウムシリケートの混合物を微粒子化しながら粉砕および複合化する。このとき、混合物に有機溶媒を添加して、湿式粉砕してもよい。有機溶媒は、粉砕対象物の粉砕容器の内壁への付着を防ぐ役割を果たす。
次に、混合物を、例えば不活性ガス雰囲気(例えばアルゴン、窒素などの雰囲気)中で600℃~1000℃に加熱された状態で加圧し、焼結させる。焼結には、ホットプレスなど、不活性雰囲気下で加圧できる焼結装置を用い得る。焼結時、シリケートが軟化し、シリコン粒子間の隙間を埋めるように流動する。その結果、シリケート相を海部とし、シリコン粒子を島部とする緻密なブロック状の焼結体を得ることができる。得られた焼結体を粉砕すれば、シリケート複合粒子が得られる。
引き続き、複合粒子の表面の少なくとも一部を導電性材料で被覆して導電層を形成してもよい。導電性炭素材料で複合粒子の表面を被覆する方法としては、アセチレン、メタンなどの炭化水素ガスを原料に用いるCVD法、石炭ピッチ、石油ピッチ、フェノール樹脂などを複合粒子と混合し、不活性雰囲気(例えば、アルゴン、窒素などの雰囲気)中で、700℃~950℃で加熱して炭化させる方法などが例示できる。また、カーボンブラックを複合粒子の表面に付着させてもよい。
複合粒子(表面に導電層を有する場合を含む。)を酸で洗浄する工程を行ってもよい。例えば、酸性水溶液で複合粒子を洗浄することで、原料シリコンとリチウムシリケートとを複合化させる際に生じ得る微量のアルカリ成分を溶解させ、除去することができる。酸性水溶液としては、塩酸、フッ化水素酸、硫酸、硝酸、リン酸、炭酸などの無機酸の水溶液や、クエン酸、酢酸などの有機酸の水溶液を用いることができる。
負極は、例えば、負極集電体と、負極集電体の表面に形成され、かつ負極活物質を含む負極合材層とを具備する。負極合材層は、負極合材を分散媒に分散させた負極スラリーを、負極集電体の表面に塗布し、乾燥させることにより形成できる。乾燥後の塗膜を、必要により圧延してもよい。
正極は、例えば、正極集電体と、正極集電体の表面に形成された正極合材層とを具備する。正極合材層は、正極合材を分散媒に分散させた正極スラリーを、正極集電体の表面に塗布し、乾燥させることにより形成できる。乾燥後の塗膜を、必要により圧延してもよい。
電解質は、溶媒と、溶媒に溶解したリチウム塩を含む。電解質におけるリチウム塩の濃度は、例えば、0.5~2mol/Lである。電解質は、公知の添加剤を含有してもよい。
正極と負極との間には、セパレータを介在させることが望ましい。セパレータは、イオン透過度が高く、適度な機械的強度および絶縁性を備えている。セパレータとしては、微多孔薄膜、織布、不織布などを用いることができる。セパレータの材質としては、例えば、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンなどのポリオレフィンが用いられ得る。
[リチウムシリケートの合成]
炭酸リチウムと二酸化ケイ素とを、Li2CO3:SiO2=34:66のモル比となるように混合し、混合物を不活性ガス雰囲気中で1500℃、5時間溶解し、融液を金属ローラに通してフレーク状とし、その後、750℃で、5時間の熱処理を行い、リチウムシリケート(Li2Si2O5)を得た。リチウムシリケートは平均粒径10μmに粉砕した。
不活性雰囲気中で、Si粉末(3N、平均粒径10μm)とLi2Si2O5粉末(平均粒径10μm)とを、58:42の質量比で混合し、更に、単体のバナジウムと炭化バナジウムとを分散状態で含むバナジウムと鉄との合金粒子を所定量添加し、遊星ボールミル(フリッチュ製、P-5)のポット(SUS製、容積:500mL)に充填した。ポットにSUS製ボール(直径20mm)を24個入れて蓋を閉め、200rpmで50時間粉砕処理した。その後、不活性雰囲気中で粉末を取り出し、不活性雰囲気中、800℃で4時間熱処理し、バナジウム30ppmおよび鉄1.3質量%を含むシリケート複合粒子をケイ素含有材料A1として得た。
ケイ素含有材料A1の断面をTEMで観察した結果、Si粒子の平均粒径は50nm未満であった。ケイ素含有材料A1の粒子断面をSEMで観察した結果、シリケート相内にSi粒子および炭化バナジウムを含む粉末が略均一に分散していることが確認された。
導電層を有するケイ素含有材料A1と、黒鉛とを、5:95の質量比で含む混合物と、カルボキシメチルセルロースのナトリウム塩(CMC-Na)と、スチレン-ブタジエンゴム(SBR)とを、97.5:1.0:1.5の質量比で混合し、水を添加した後、混合機(プライミクス製、T.K.ハイビスミックス)を用いて攪拌し、負極スラリーを調製した。次に、銅箔の両面に負極スラリーを塗布し、塗膜を乾燥させた後、圧延して、銅箔の両面に密度1.6g/cm3の負極合材層が形成された負極A2を得た。
コバルト酸リチウムと、アセチレンブラックと、ポリフッ化ビニリデンとを、95:2.5:2.5の質量比で混合し、N-メチル-2-ピロリドン(NMP)を添加した後、混合機(プライミクス社製、T.K.ハイビスミックス)を用いて攪拌し、正極スラリーを調製した。次に、アルミニウム箔の両面に正極スラリーを塗布し、塗膜を乾燥させた後、圧延して、アルミニウム箔の両面に密度3.6g/cm3の正極合材層が形成された正極を得た。
エチレンカーボネート(EC)とエチルメチルカーボネート(EMC)とを3:7の体積比で含む混合溶媒にLiPF6を濃度1.0mol/Lで溶解して非水電解液を調製した。
各電極にタブをそれぞれ取り付け、タブが最外周部に位置するように、セパレータを介して正極および負極を渦巻き状に巻回することにより電極群を作製した。電極群をアルミニウムラミネートフィルム製の外装体内に挿入し、105℃で2時間真空乾燥した後、非水電解液を注入し、外装体の開口部を封止して、二次電池A1を得た。
Si粉末とLi2Si2O5粉末との混合物に炭化バナジウムを添加せず、鉄を添加して、鉄1.7質量%を含むシリケート複合粒子(ケイ素含有材料R1)を合成したこと以外は、実施例1と同様の方法で、負極R1および二次電池R1を得た。
