Description

Nonaqueous secondary battery binder, nonaqueous secondary battery resin composition, nonaqueous secondary battery separator, nonaqueous secondary battery electrode and nonaqueous secondary battery

The present invention relates to a binder for a non-aqueous secondary battery that can be used to form a protective layer for an electrode of a non-aqueous secondary battery such as a lithium ion secondary battery and a protective layer for a separator. The present invention also provides a resin composition for non-aqueous secondary batteries containing such a binder for non-aqueous secondary batteries, and a non-aqueous secondary battery separator provided with a protective layer formed from the resin composition for non-aqueous secondary batteries. And a non-aqueous secondary battery electrode, and a non-aqueous secondary battery including at least one of the non-aqueous secondary battery separator and the non-aqueous secondary battery electrode.

Among non-aqueous secondary batteries, lithium ion secondary batteries (hereinafter referred to as “LIB”) can be used in mobile applications such as laptop computers and smartphones because they can obtain high output. LIB has also begun to be used in automotive applications in recent years.

LIB includes, for example, a separator made of polyolefin in order to avoid electrical contact between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and allow ions in the electrolyte to pass through. However, when the LIB (battery) becomes high temperature, the polyolefin separator melts, so that both electrodes are short-circuited, and the LIB (battery) may explode. Therefore, in order to prevent the short circuit, the separator is generally provided with a protective layer formed mainly of an inorganic filler.

Patent Document 1 discloses a protective layer using a rubbery polymer containing acrylonitrile as a binder for the protective layer.

Patent Document 2 discloses a protective layer in which core-shell polymer particles synthesized using acrylonitrile as one of raw materials are used as a binder for the protective layer.

JP 2005-235508 A WO2011 / 040474

Conventionally, acrylonitrile used to synthesize protective layer binders is highly toxic and difficult to handle. For this reason, the development of a protective layer binder that does not use acrylonitrile as a raw material has been required in consideration of the safety and health hazards of workers who produce the protective layer binder. However, a protective layer binder that is excellent in durability (hereinafter referred to as “electrolytic solution resistance”) that is not easily deteriorated by an electrolytic solution and that can satisfy high adhesion to an electrode and a separator (particularly, a polyolefin layer) has not been obtained. There is a problem.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a non-aqueous solution that is excellent in electrolytic solution resistance, has good adhesion to electrodes and separators (particularly, a polyolefin layer), is excellent in safety during production, and hardly causes health damage. It is to provide a binder for a secondary battery.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a nonaqueous secondary battery resin composition containing such a nonaqueous secondary battery binder, and a nonaqueous secondary battery comprising a protective layer formed from the nonaqueous secondary battery resin composition. Another object of the present invention is to provide a battery separator and a non-aqueous secondary battery electrode, and a non-aqueous secondary battery including at least one of these non-aqueous secondary battery separator and non-aqueous secondary battery electrode.

The binder for a non-aqueous secondary battery of the present invention includes a plurality of particles composed of a polymer, and the polymer includes a first monomer containing an acidic functional group, a second monomer containing an amide group, It is characterized in that it is obtained by copolymerizing a first monomer, a second monomer, and a third monomer different from (meth) acrylonitrile, and has a glass transition temperature of −60 ° C. to 60 ° C.

According to the present invention, a polymer (a binder for a non-aqueous secondary battery) having a glass transition temperature (hereinafter referred to as “Tg”) in a predetermined range obtained by using a second monomer containing an amide group is used. To do. For this reason, the protective layer formed from the resin composition for non-aqueous secondary batteries containing such a polymer is excellent in durability (electrolytic solution resistance) that is not easily deteriorated by the electrolytic solution, and is provided with electrodes and separators (particularly polyolefins). Good adhesion to the separator formed) is obtained.

Furthermore, the binder (polymer) for non-aqueous secondary batteries of the present invention is produced (synthesized) without using (meth) acrylonitrile as a raw material. For this reason, the safety | security at the time of manufacturing the binder for non-aqueous secondary batteries improves, and the effect that a health hazard hardly arises is also acquired.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an embodiment of the LIB of the present invention.

According to the present invention, the binder for a non-aqueous secondary battery is excellent in electrolytic solution resistance and has good adhesion to electrodes and separators (especially polyolefin layers), and is excellent in safety during production and hardly causes health hazards. Can be provided.

Hereinafter, the binder for non-aqueous secondary battery, the resin composition for non-aqueous secondary battery, the non-aqueous secondary battery separator, the non-aqueous secondary battery electrode and the non-aqueous secondary battery according to the present invention will be described in detail.

The binder for non-aqueous secondary batteries of the present invention includes a plurality of particles composed of a polymer having a Tg of −60 ° C. to 60 ° C. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “polymer particles”). In addition, this polymer includes a first monomer containing an acidic functional group (hereinafter simply referred to as “first monomer”) and a second monomer containing an amide group (hereinafter simply referred to as “second monomer”). And a third monomer different from (meth) acrylonitrile (hereinafter, simply referred to as “third monomer”), and obtained by copolymerization of the first monomer, the second monomer, and (meth) acrylonitrile. It is characterized by.

The method for copolymerizing these monomers is not particularly limited, but in general, emulsion polymerization or suspension polymerization is preferable. Thereby, a particulate polymer can be obtained more reliably. Hereinafter, a mixture of the first monomer, the second monomer, and the third monomer may be referred to as a “monomer mixture”.

The binder for a non-aqueous secondary battery of the present invention is preferably used as a protective layer for an electrode of a non-aqueous secondary battery and a separator, and more preferably used as a protective layer for a separator. In addition, a non-aqueous secondary battery is a secondary battery which does not use water for electrolyte solution, for example, a lithium ion secondary battery (LIB), a sodium ion secondary battery, a magnesium secondary battery etc. are mentioned. As will be described later, in this specification, LIB is described as an example of a non-aqueous secondary battery. However, the non-aqueous secondary battery of the present invention includes a non-aqueous secondary battery, a non-aqueous secondary battery other than LIB. Needless to say, a resin composition for a secondary battery, a non-aqueous secondary battery separator, and a non-aqueous secondary battery electrode can be applied.

The non-aqueous secondary battery resin composition of the present invention can be obtained by blending the non-aqueous secondary battery binder of the present invention with an inorganic filler. And the protective layer which uses the said resin composition for non-aqueous secondary batteries can be formed on the compound-material layer of the electrode mentioned later. Moreover, the protective layer which uses the said resin composition for non-aqueous secondary batteries can be formed on a separator (for example, polyolefin layer). By these protective layers, when the non-aqueous secondary battery is overheated, a short circuit occurs between both electrodes, and the risk of the non-aqueous secondary battery exploding can be reduced. Furthermore, these protective layers can also suppress damage to electrodes and separators caused by dendritic particles produced in the electrolyte.

The binder for a non-aqueous secondary battery of the present invention includes a plurality of polymer particles composed of a polymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer mixture. These polymer particles are blended with an inorganic filler to produce a resin composition for a non-aqueous secondary battery, and then applied to an electrode and a separator (for example, a polyolefin layer). Functions to adhere. Therefore, it is important that the binder for non-aqueous secondary batteries is particles. On the other hand, when forming a protective layer using a linear polymer, there exists a possibility of filling the clearance gap between inorganic fillers. As a result, when a protective layer using a linear polymer is formed on an electrode or a separator, free movement of ions or the like between both electrodes is hindered. For this reason, when a linear polymer is used, the battery performance of LIB tends to deteriorate.

In the present invention, the polymer particles are polymers having a Tg of −60 ° C. to 60 ° C. obtained by copolymerizing a monomer mixture containing a first monomer, a second monomer, and a third monomer. Composed. The polymer particles have improved electrolyte resistance due to the presence of the amide group, and further improved affinity with the inorganic filler, thereby improving the solution stability of the resin composition for non-aqueous secondary batteries containing them. Furthermore, since the inorganic filler has good affinity with the polymer particles, it is uniformly dispersed in the non-aqueous secondary battery resin composition. For this reason, when a protective layer using such a resin composition for a non-aqueous secondary battery is used, for example, when a non-aqueous secondary battery is created by winding them in a spiral shape, the protective layer It is possible to obtain an excellent effect in which cracks are hardly generated and the inorganic filler is not easily removed.

Further, in the present invention, when synthesizing the polymer, (meth) acrylonitrile (acrylonitrile and methacrylonitrile) is not used as a raw material, so that the worker can work in a safer environment and is healthy. Damage is less likely to occur.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since the Tg of the polymer is −60 ° C. to 60 ° C., the electrolyte solution resistance of the binder for non-aqueous secondary battery (resin composition for non-aqueous secondary battery) is improved, and the electrode and separator Adhesiveness with (especially polyolefin layer) improves. The Tg of the polymer may be −60 ° C. to 60 ° C., preferably −45 ° C. to 45 ° C., more preferably −30 ° C. to 30 ° C. Tg can be measured using DSC (differential scanning calorimeter, manufactured by TA Instruments). Specifically, about 2 mg of a sample is weighed on an aluminum pan, the aluminum pan is set on a DSC measurement holder, and an endothermic peak obtained under a temperature rising condition of 5 ° C./min is read to measure Tg. be able to.
