本発明の非水系二次電池用正極は、例えば集電体上に、上述した非水系二次電池正極用スラリー組成物を用いて形成した正極合材層を備える。具体的に、正極合材層は、通常、上述した非水系二次電池正極用スラリー組成物の乾燥物よりなり、正極合材層には、少なくとも、正極活物質と、共重合体と、任意に、導電材と、その他の成分とが含有されている。なお、正極合材層中に含まれている各成分は、上記非水系二次電池正極用スラリー組成物中に含まれていたものであり、それら各成分の好適な存在比は、スラリー組成物中の各成分の好適な存在比と同じである。
そして、本発明の非水系二次電池用正極では、上述した非水系二次電池正極用スラリー組成物を使用して正極合材層を形成しているので、本発明の非水系二次電池用正極は、二次電池に優れた出力特性を発揮させることが可能である。
ここで、本発明の非水系二次電池用正極の正極合材層は、例えば、上述したスラリー組成物を集電体上に塗布する工程(塗布工程)と、集電体上に塗布されたスラリー組成物を乾燥して集電体上に正極合材層を形成する工程(乾燥工程)とを経て集電体上に形成することができる。
そして、上記スラリー組成物を集電体上に塗布する方法としては、特に限定されず公知の方法を用いることができる。具体的には、塗布方法としては、ドクターブレード法、ディップ法、リバースロール法、ダイレクトロール法、グラビア法、エクストルージョン法、ハケ塗り法などを用いることができる。この際、スラリー組成物を集電体の片面だけに塗布してもよいし、両面に塗布してもよい。塗布後乾燥前の集電体上のスラリー膜の厚みは、乾燥して得られる正極合材層の厚みに応じて適宜に設定しうる。
集電体上のスラリー組成物を乾燥する方法としては、特に限定されず公知の方法を用いることができ、例えば温風、熱風、低湿風による乾燥法、真空乾燥法、赤外線や電子線などの照射による乾燥法が挙げられる。このように集電体上のスラリー組成物を乾燥することで、集電体上に正極合材層を形成し、集電体と正極合材層とを備える非水系二次電池用正極を得ることができる。
そして、上述のようにして得られる正極に含まれる正極合材層の密度は、2.5g/cm3以上であることが好ましく、2.8g/cm3以上であることがより好ましく、3.0g/cm3以上であることが更に好ましく、3.8g/cm3以下であることが好ましく、3.6g/cm3以下であることがより好ましい。正極合材層の密度が上記上限値以下であれば、正極の割れによりピール強度が損なわれることもなく、二次電池のサイクル特性を確保することができる。一方、正極合材層の密度が上記下限値以上の正極は、ピール強度に優れる。

電解液としては、通常、有機溶媒に支持電解質を溶解した有機電解液が用いられる。リチウムイオン二次電池の支持電解質としては、例えば、リチウム塩が用いられる。リチウム塩としては、例えば、LiPF6、LiAsF6、LiBF4、LiSbF6、LiAlCl4、LiClO4、CF3SO3Li、C4F9SO3Li、CF3COOLi、(CF3CO)2NLi、(CF3SO2)2NLi、(C2F5SO2)NLiなどが挙げられる。なかでも、溶媒に溶けやすく高い解離度を示すので、LiPF6、LiClO4、CF3SO3Liが好ましく、LiPF6が特に好ましい。なお、電解質は1種類を単独で用いてもよく、2種類以上を任意の比率で組み合わせて用いてもよい。通常は、解離度の高い支持電解質を用いるほどリチウムイオン伝導度が高くなる傾向があるので、支持電解質の種類によりリチウムイオン伝導度を調節することができる。
なお、電解液中の電解質の濃度は適宜調整することができる。また、電解液には、既知の添加剤を添加することができる。
セパレータとしては、特に限定されることなく、例えば特開2012-204303号公報に記載のものを用いることができる。これらの中でも、セパレータ全体の膜厚を薄くすることができ、これにより、リチウムイオン二次電池内の電極活物質の比率を高くして体積あたりの容量を高くすることができるという点より、ポリオレフィン系(ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリブテン、ポリ塩化ビニル)の樹脂からなる微多孔膜が好ましい。
本発明に従うリチウムイオン二次電池は、例えば、正極と、負極とを、セパレータを介して重ね合わせ、これを必要に応じて電池形状に応じて巻く、折るなどして電池容器に入れ、電池容器に電解液を注入して封口することにより製造することができる。二次電池の内部の圧力上昇、過充放電等の発生を防止するために、必要に応じて、ヒューズ、PTC素子等の過電流防止素子、エキスパンドメタル、リード板などを設けてもよい。二次電池の形状は、例えば、コイン型、ボタン型、シート型、円筒型、角形、扁平型など、何れであってもよい。
また、複数種類の単量体を共重合して製造される重合体において、ある単量体を重合して形成される単量体単位の前記重合体における割合は、別に断らない限り、通常は、その重合体の重合に用いる全単量体に占める当該ある単量体の比率(仕込み比)と一致する。
