Abstract:
There is provided a method for producing polyanionic positive electrode active material composite particles which may be used as a positive electrode material of a lithium ion secondary battery. The method comprises mixing a polyanionic positive electrode active material precursor and graphite oxide in a solid phase to form precursor composite granulated bodies, wherein water and/or alcohol is added to a combined total of 2.5% to 20%; and heating the precursor composite granulated bodies at 500 C or higher in an inert or reducing atmosphere. In the X-ray diffraction intensity of (i) the precursor composite granulated bodies and (ii) the polyanionic positive electrode active material composite particles, the maximum intensity of the peak based on the positive electrode active material is less than 50% of, and is 50% or more of, respectively, the maximum intensity of the peak based on materials other than the positive electrode active material.
Abstract:
Conventional polyanionic positive electrode active material-graphene composite particles have not been able to achieve high conductivity since the contact area between the graphene and the polyanionic positive electrode active material is small. The present invention is a method for producing polyanionic positive electrode active material composite particles, which comprises: a step 1 wherein precursor composite granulated bodies, each of which contains a polyanionic positive electrode active material precursor particle in graphite oxide, are formed by mixing a polyanionic positive electrode active material precursor and graphite oxide; and a step 2 wherein the precursor composite granulated bodies obtained in step 1 are heated at 500°C or higher in an inert atmosphere or in a reducing atmosphere. With respect to the X-ray diffraction intensity of the precursor composite granulated bodies, the maximum intensity of the X-ray diffraction peak based on the positive electrode active material is less than 50% of the maximum intensity of the X-ray diffraction peak based on the materials other than the positive electrode active material. With respect to the X-ray diffraction intensity of the polyanionic positive electrode active material composite particles, the maximum intensity of the X-ray diffraction peak based on the positive electrode active material is 50% or more of the maximum intensity of the X-ray diffraction peak based on the materials other than the positive electrode active material.
