[4]
Developed in the early 1990s from the secondary batteries that are currently being applied to the lithium secondary battery has an aqueous solution in the form of Ni-MH, using the electrolytic solution Ni-Cd, sulfuric acid - a high operating voltage as compared to conventional batteries such as lead battery, the energy density significantly It has been highlighted as a large advantage. However, of these lithium ion secondary batteries have a safety problem exists, such as ignition and explosion to follow in using the organic electrolytic solution, and a demanding manufacturing drawbacks. Recent lithium polymer secondary battery is to improve the weak points of such a lithium ion secondary battery, but counted as one of next-generation batteries, relatively low and is still capacity to the battery compared with the lithium ion secondary battery, especially the discharge capacity at a low temperature and insufficient the two improvements are urgently needed.
[5]
The negative electrode material for high capacity and the need to increase it in order, so that the metalloid substance, such as a large Si-based, Sn-based theoretical capacity has been applied as an anode active material. In particular, Si-based materials have been in had a more than 11-fold greater dose (4190 mAh / g) than the theoretical capacity (372 mAh / g) a carbon-based negative active material having the spotlight as materials to replace the carbon-based negative electrode active material. However, these cathode active material has a tendency that the cycle characteristics are lowered, because the lithium ion to the volume expansion of the insert when material is more than three times, the cell capacity reduction slows the charge and discharge proceed in accordance with progress in the charge and discharge repeated, safety in order to commercialize the problem also requires a lot of technology.
[6]
Thus, silicon oxide (SiO x may wish to study the relaxation cycle characteristics and the volume expansion is conducted using a semi-metal oxides, etc.). A Si-based composite of them, findings using a Si-based material and the carbon-based material is at the same time, silicon is a method designed to minimize the volume expansion of the material to increase the high capacity and the charge and discharge life at the same time. The basic complex synthesis method is used to cover the carbon to silicon-based material. This improved electrochemical properties for the electric conductivity, and an electrolyte between the active material particles and ohjiman reduces the volume expansion of the silicon particles resulted in increased battery life, the initial charge-discharge efficiency due to the formation of the non-reversible according to the silicon-based material during the initial charge and discharge this is an issue to be lowered.
[7]
In order to compensate for this, when the semi-metal oxide is used to pre-complexed with the metal oxide and lithium given to contain lithium, such as the initial charge-discharge when lithium oxide, lithium metal oxide of the cell ratio is therefore generate less the reverse phase of the negative electrode active material It can increase the initial efficiency.
