Specification

Art [1][Mutual citations and related applications; [2]This application claims the benefit of priority based on dated Korea Patent Application No. 10-2017-0088556 years 07 January 2017, and all information disclosed in the literature of the Korea patent application are included as part of the specification. [3][Technology] [4]The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery and manufacturing method thereof, more particularly before lithium painter including consisting of a cathode, and before lithiated on the charge capacity of the negative electrode of the lithium secondary battery to have a smaller value than the charge capacity of the positive electrode by and a process for their preparation. BACKGROUND [5] The demand for secondary batteries as an energy source, and is rapidly increased as the development of technology and the demand for mobile devices increases, Among such secondary battery shows a high energy density and operating potential, a long cycle life, self-discharge rate is low lithium secondary the battery is commercially available and widely used. [6] In addition, in recent years, to replace vehicles that use fossil fuels such as gasoline vehicles, diesel vehicles is one of the leading causes of air pollution electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), which, depending on the interest in environmental issues grows there is a lot of ongoing research and so on. The electric vehicle (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), etc. of a power source by mainly nickel but hydrogen metal (Ni-MH) secondary battery has been used, that uses a high energy density, the lithium secondary battery of high discharge voltage and the output stability the study has been actively conducted, there are some commercially available. [7] The lithium secondary battery is constructed in a structure that is a non-aqueous electrolyte containing lithium salt is impregnated to the porous electrode assembly with a separator intervening between the positive electrode and the negative electrode active material is coated on the current collector, respectively. [8] The lithium secondary battery can be charged and discharged and proceeds as lithium ions in the positive electrode active material of the positive insertion (intercadlation) as an anode active material of the negative electrode repeats a process of desorption (deintercalation). [9] Theoretically, although the fully reversible Li insertion and desorption reaction of active material within the negative electrode, actually is more than the theoretical capacity of the negative electrode active material of lithium consumption, only some of the double is recovered upon discharge. Therefore, the second cycle, is desorbed the vast majority of lithium ions than a small amount of lithium ion is inserted at the time of discharge, but to be inserted after charging. Thus, the capacity difference that appears in the first charge and discharge reactions as the irreversible capacity loss, and, in a commercially available lithium secondary battery, lithium ion is supplied from the positive electrode negative electrode so made of a non-lithium state, the irreversible capacity loss in the initial charge and discharge it is important to minimize. [10] The initial irreversible capacity loss has been known to be due to electrolyte decomposition (electrolyte decomposition) reaction at the most negative electrode active material surface and the electrolytic decomposing the electrochemical reaction of the negative electrode active material surface on a SEI by through (solid electrolyte layer, Solid Electrolyte Interface) It is formed. The SEI film because it has a lot of lithium ion consumption form, but the problem of causing an irreversible loss of capacity, gives a save SEI film charging and discharging of the lithium ion and the negative electrode, or react with other materials formed on the charge initially, ion tunnel (Ion Tunnel ) acts as a further electrolyte to suppress the decomposition reaction by the function of passing only the lithium ions contribute to improving the cycle characteristics of the lithium secondary battery. [11] Therefore, a method for improving the initial irreversible caused by the SEI film formation, such as required, and that one way around the lithiated subjected beforehand to a side reaction generated when the first charge by performing a (pre-lithiation) before making a lithium secondary battery with It may be a way. In this way, around the lithiated (pre-lithiation) when performing the actual when subjected to charge and discharge for the manufacturing the secondary battery, the first cycle in a much irreversible reduced state is to be conducted advantage that the initial irreversible be reduced there is. [12] On the other hand, the initial irreversible addition to the lithium secondary battery is reduced a reversible lithium ion source case be carried out in a repeated charge / discharge. As described above, but the service life characteristics degenerated cells, can be recycled (recycle) when line supplements the lithium source by a method of injecting the added electrolyte, it creates a pathway for further injecting the already finished cells, the passage there is need for a hassle free process, such as closing. Thus, a lithium secondary battery comprising a lithium electrode in a separate supplement that will be degraded when the lithium battery separately proposed. For example, a secondary battery is disclosed comprising a lithium electrode in addition to Patent Document Korea further disclosure the positive and negative electrodes No. 2005-0116795. Supra in which a secondary battery of a laminated type by spaced apart by either one or more, and the separator of the positive electrode or negative electrode to an additional lithium electrode is disclosed, also the gakgeuk collector is exposed to the secondary battery outside via the terminal when degeneration of the battery lithium the electrode terminal and the positive terminal or negative terminal of lithium ion to any positive or negative electrode to connect one or more of the disclosed a method of feeding. [13] This method creates a passage for further injecting the finished cell only boatman advantage was eliminated the inconvenience in that it does not require processes, such as closing the passage again, separate the lithium electrode and the positive electrode and the negative electrode are stacked together, so a cell configuration, have the disadvantage that the entire thickness of the cell increases. [14] Therefore, yet to solve the problem, the initial irreversible capacity loss of the lithium secondary battery, the effective development of the lithium secondary battery that can solve the problem of the life property degradation reduction lithium source are required at the same time. Detailed Description of the Invention SUMMARY [15] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the initial irreversible capacity loss problem yet at the same time to solve the problem, according to the life characteristic degradation reduction lithium source provides improved cycle characteristics of lithium secondary batteries. [16] The problem to be solved another of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing the lithium secondary battery. Problem solving means [17] In order to achieve the foregoing object, the present invention is a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a lithium secondary battery comprising a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the negative electrode has been made of lithium upset by former lithiated (pre-lithiation), the total capacity of the negative electrode active material of the negative electrode is larger than the total capacity of the positive electrode active material of the positive electrode, there is provided a lithium secondary battery having a small value compared with the charge capacity of the charge capacity of the negative electrode positive electrode by the former lithiated. [18] In order to solve the above other problem, the present invention includes the steps of an embodiment (1) the amount of the former lithiated beyond the irreversible capacity of the negative electrode to supply the lithium ion to the negative electrode (pre-lithiation); And (2) the entire lithium painter made the cathode, and comprising the step of interposing a separator between the positive electrode and having a small value of the charge capacity of the negative electrode compared to the charge capacity of the positive electrode by the former lithiated, paragraph (1) Lithium It provides a process for the preparation of a secondary cell. Effects of the Invention [19] The lithium secondary battery according to the present invention can exhibit an excellent cycle characteristic, the initial irreversible capacity is supplemented, at the same time to fix the problem source of the lithium reduction of the cycle increases.

[21] Figure 2 is a graph illustrating a voltage curve and a positive cathode voltage curve of the lithium secondary battery of the Comparative Example 1. [22] Figure 3 is a curve showing a positive voltage and negative voltage curve of the lithium secondary battery of the Comparative Example 2 graph. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention [23] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described to assist understanding of the present invention in more detail. [24] Herein and in the terms or words used in the claims is general and not be construed as limited to the dictionary meanings are not, the inventor can adequately define terms to describe his own invention in the best way on the basis of the principle that the interpreted based on the meanings and concepts corresponding to technical aspects of the present invention. [25] [26] As a lithium secondary battery according to the present invention includes a separator interposed between the positive electrode, a negative electrode and the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the negative electrode has been made upset lithium by former lithiated (pre-lithiation), the negative electrode active material of the negative electrode total capacity is to have a value smaller than the charge capacity of greater than the total capacity of the positive electrode active material of the positive electrode, the charge capacity of the negative electrode by the former lithiated cathode. [27] The total capacity of the negative electrode active material of the negative electrode is larger than the total capacity of the positive electrode active material of the positive electrode, the charge capacity of the negative electrode by the former lithiated will have a value less than the charge capacity of the positive electrode. [28] Specifically, through the former lithiated course the cathode is lithiated and, and (過) may be made before lithium upset that a large amount of lithium is supplied to the cathode of the relative to the amount of lithium to compensate for the irreversible capacity loss of the cathode have. Wherein the (過) before lithiated; means that more than the amount required to compensate for the irreversible capacity of the negative electrode of lithium is supplied to the cathode, wherein the (過) lithium ion occluded in the negative electrode site in accordance with the prior lithiated ( the lithium ion supplied by the site) for the former lithiated occupies. Accordingly, since less is the site that can accept lithium ions supplied from the anode into the cathode, the charging capacity of the negative electrode is reduced. [29] Li-ion of an amount corresponding to a difference between the positive electrode charge capacity with the charge capacity of the negative electrode of the are electrodeposited (Li-plating) in the negative electrode mothayeo be occluded in the negative electrode during charging, and to form a film-coated lithium metal, so that the cathode is electroplated the lithium may include (Li-plating). [30] Lithium (Li-plating) deposited on the cathode can be continuously emitted electrodeposition, lithium ions in the charging and discharging process of a lithium secondary battery, and thus can contribute to an available capacity of the negative electrode. In addition, a lithium (Li-plating) deposited on the cathode can function as an additional lithium source for supplying lithium ions to the positive electrode and the negative electrode during degradation of the lithium secondary battery. Accordingly, since the lithium secondary battery, the said electro-deposition of lithium without the supply of extra lithium source according to the degeneration of the cell acts as a further supplement a lithium source in accordance with an example of the present invention comprising a negative electrode containing the electrodeposited lithium, excellent cycle It can exhibit the characteristics. [31] The cathode by the before lithiated and may have been a total capacity of 26% to the capacity of 90% of the negative electrode active material is lithiated, and specifically from 40% to 80%, more specifically at a dose of 50% to 75% the lithiated may be. Lithiated cathode of the degree may be represented as a negative electrode before lithium degree (%), the lithium negative electrode before the degree may be represented as I lithiated capacity / the total capacity × 100 negative electrode of the negative electrode. [32] When the negative electrode before lithium the degree of the negative electrode one the above-mentioned range, making up for the reduction of lithium ions due to the initial irreversible capacity loss of the anode effectively the other hand, compensate for the irreversible capacity, and the remaining lithium is occluded in the negative electrode of lithium occluded in the negative electrode site by accounting for, yet since the lithium ions move from the anode in charging process of a lithium secondary battery can so as to be deposited on the negative electrode, too large amount of the lithium is supplied excessively, the amount of lithium deposited on the negative electrode to the capacity of the negative electrode this over-reduction or safety of the battery at an appropriate degree than can not be reduced. [33] Charge capacity of the negative electrode may be less than 10% or more to 100% of the charge capacity of the positive electrode, and may be specifically 20% to 90%, more specifically 30% to 80%. If the charge capacity of the negative electrode compared to the charge capacity of the positive electrode satisfies the above range, the electro-deposition, so the lithium appropriate to the cathode may act as additional lithium source for lithium-supplemented upon degradation of a lithium secondary battery with all lithium is deposited on the cathode the amount of the can so that the transient to the safety of the battery is not degraded. [34] In the context of the present invention, the charge capacity of the negative electrode represents the capacitance of the site with the lithium to be filled in the negative electrode other than the site occupied by the lithium in the negative electrode filled through the entire lithiated. In addition, the charge capacity and charge capacity of the positive electrode of the negative electrode represents the value corresponding to the charge capacity of the charge capacity of the positive electrode and the negative electrode when constituting the half-cell by using the negative electrode and positive electrode, respectively. [35] Hereinafter there will be explained a manufacturing method of the lithium secondary battery. [36] Step for applying the lithium secondary battery (1) Total amount of lithiated beyond the irreversible capacity of the negative electrode to supply the lithium ion to the negative electrode (pre-lithiation); And [37] (2) it can be prepared by a process comprising the step of interposing a separator between the negative electrode of lithium before painter made, and the positive electrode. [38] The cathode can be prepared by conventional methods known in the art, for example, is producing a negative active material slurry by mixing and stirring the additives such as the negative electrode active material and a binder and a conductive material, dried, and applying it onto the negative electrode current collector after it may be prepared by compression. [39] The method of manufacturing a lithium secondary battery according to the invention is carried out before the amount of lithiated beyond the irreversible capacity of the negative electrode to supply the lithium ion to the negative electrode is manufactured (pre-lithiation). [40] The negative electrode may be made upset lithium by the former lithiated, in particular the former lithiated is and (過) that a large amount of lithium is supplied to the cathode of the relative to the amount of lithium to compensate for the irreversible capacity loss of the cathode before lithium can file. [41] Wherein the (過) is that the lithium ions supplied by the former lithiated charge the lithium-ion storage site (site) of the negative electrode according to the prior lithiated sites that can accept lithium ions supplied from the anode into the cathode It is reduced, so, the charge capacity of the negative electrode is reduced. Thus, the charge capacity of the negative electrode may have a value smaller than the charge capacity of the positive electrode according to the former and lithiated. [42] Charge capacity of the negative electrode may be less than 10% or more to 100% of the charge capacity of the positive electrode, and may be specifically 20% to 90%, more specifically 30% to 80%. [43] That is, the former through the lithiated (pre-lithiation) and the lithium corresponding to a capacity of 26% to 90% compared to the total capacity of the negative electrode active material can be supplied, in particular 40% to 80%, more specifically 50% this corresponding to a capacity of to 75% lithium may be supplied. Through the lithiated before the negative electrode may have a pre lithium degree of 26% to 70%, and may specifically have the entire lithium degree of 40% to 80%, 50% to 75% and more specifically. [44] The former lithiated may be made by a method which by the way, the method for depositing the lithium metal on the negative electrode surface, or a particle containing a large excess of lithium metal for pressing lithium metal on the negative electrode surface binder polymer and the dispersion is applied to the cathode and it can be made through a process such that More specifically, contacting the lithium metal and a lithium metal as the negative electrode in close contact with the pressure on the cathode. [45] In one example of the process of contacting the lithium metal on the negative electrode and that through the pressure contact is the cathode and lithium metal, and the pressure is 1.5 cm the lithium metal 2 per 0.1 kgf to about 20 kgf, specifically 0.2 kgf to 10 kgf, and more More specifically, it may be 0.5 to 2 kgf kgf. When the negative electrode and the lithium metal is brought into contact with the pressure range, suitably lithium is deformed such that the cathode, yet may be specifically supplied to the negative electrode active material layer with or damaged by excessive pressure in the anode active material layer porosity change will not occur can. Time for contacting the lithium metal in the negative electrode is 40 minutes to 3 hours, specifically 50 minutes to 2 hours, more specifically, it may be 50 minutes to 90 minutes. If the contact time of the day range can be sufficiently supplied to the lithium negative electrode active material layer, if there is insufficient contact time may not be sufficiently achieved before lithium painter. [46] Thus when done before lithium upset of the negative electrode, a separator interposed between the negative electrode and a positive electrode made upset before lithium to produce an electrode assembly. [47] The positive electrode may be prepared by conventional methods known in the art. For example, to manufacture a binder, a conductive agent, were prepared for and a dispersant mixture and stirred slurry was applied (coating) it to the current collector of a metal material and the positive electrode by a compression after drying, depending on the solvent, it is required for the positive electrode active material have. [48] In the separator it is used as a separator in the prior art conventional porous polymer film, such as ethylene homopolymer, propylene homopolymer, ethylene-polyolefin, such as methacrylate copolymer-butene copolymer, ethylene-hexene copolymers and ethylene It may be used singly or stacked to obtain a porous polymer film made of a polymer, or a conventional porous nonwoven fabric, such as high, but can use the non-woven fabric of glass fiber, polyethylene terephthalate fiber, such as the melting point, and thus only it is no. [49] After mounting the electrode assembly in a battery case, it is possible to manufacture a lithium secondary battery with an electrolyte solution is injected. [50] Method of manufacturing a lithium secondary battery according to one embodiment of the present invention is to charge the above prepared lithium secondary battery, and may include the step of electro-deposition so that lithium (Li-plating) is conducted to the cathode. Li-ion of an amount corresponding to a difference between the positive electrode charge capacity with the charge capacity of the negative electrode in the charging process is electrodeposition (Li-plating) in the negative electrode mothayeo be occluded in the negative electrode during charging, and to form a film-coated lithium metal, and thus can be achieved so that the lithium electro-deposition on the cathode.

[120] [121] Comparative Example 4 [122] As a cathode, except that the negative electrode prepared in Comparative Example 2, to thereby prepare a lithium secondary battery in the same manner as in Comparative Example 3. [123] [124] Experimental Example 1: The first cycle charge-discharge experiments [125] [126] Example 1, Example 2, Comparative Example 1, and the comparison with the electrochemical charge and discharger for a coin-type half cell prepared in Example 2 were tested for charge-discharge reversibility. The first cycle charging V 0.005 (vs. Li / Li + ) at a current density of charged and dropped by applying an electric current at a current density, during the discharge of 0.1C-rate to a voltage 1.5 V (vs. Li / Li in the + voltage) He had to carry the discharge. At this time, the charge capacity and the discharge capacity was measured. The results are shown in Figure 1-3.

[131] [132] 1, the embodiment of the negative electrode capacity of a coin-type half cell prepared in Example 1 can be found that is less than the capacity of the positive electrode of the above-prepared positive electrode half cell. Therefore, when the former embodiment hayeoteul lithiated with respect to the negative electrode, the capacity of the negative electrode can see that have a smaller value than the capacitance of the positive electrode. [133] Further, the road on the negative electrode capacity is the capacity of the positive electrode capacity of the negative electrode through a cursor, around the lithiated than the capacity of the positive electrode of the above-prepared positive electrode half cell of a coin-type half cell prepared in Comparative Example 1 Referring to Figure 2 less than the Empty confirmed.

At this time, the charge capacity and the discharge capacity was measured. The results are shown in Table 1. Further, by repeating the charge-discharge cycle up to 100 measures the charge capacity and the discharge capacity at this time and then the results are shown in Table 1. [138] [139] TABLE 1 Example 3 Example 4 Comparative Example 3 Comparative Example 4 Lithium negative electrode before the degree (%) 50 75 0 25 The first cycle, a negative electrode for a positive electrode charge capacity ratio (%) 72 30 142 106 The first cycle, reversible capacity (mAh) 4.2 4.2 3.8 4.3 100th cycle reversible capacity (mAh) 4.0 3.9 2.6 3.6 [140] In Table 1 a, the negative electrode before lithium degree (%) = negative pre lithiated capacity / cathode capacity × 100, and the first cycle, the negative electrode for the positive electrode charge capacity ratio (%) = negative electrode charge capacity / positive electrode charge capacity × 100. Table 1 with reference to, the embodiment is the lithium secondary battery is lithium the degree of the negative electrode before and 50% of 2, and the charge capacity of the negative electrode indicated a ratio of the first cycle, the negative electrode for the positive charge is 72% reduced compared to the charge capacity of the positive electrode. The lithium secondary battery of the comparison is not made before lithium upset of the negative electrode Example 3 showed a ratio of the first cycle, the negative electrode for the positive charge is 142%, the lithium secondary battery of Comparative Example 4 is a pre lithium the degree of the negative electrode indicated a 25% first cycle a negative electrode for positive charge ratio of 106% it is shown. [141] In the reversible capacity of the first cycle, before lithium upset lithium secondary battery is not made in Comparative Example 3 is not supporting the replenishment for the irreversible capacity achieved, before lithium painter made a second embodiment of the lithium secondary battery and the comparative example 4, a lithium secondary It exhibited a small reversible capacity compared to cells. In addition, the 100 In the reversible capacity of the second cycle before lithium upset eotneunde indicate a lithium secondary battery is not made in Comparative Example 3 has the smallest value, which is discharged to the cathode discharge ends because no around the lithiated contraction of SiO simhaejyeo cycle was analyzed to be due to the degradation was accelerated. On the other hand, in the case of Comparative Example 4 before lithium painter made compared to Comparative Example 3 was smaller and the reduced width of the reversible capacity.
