Patent number: 11456447Abstract: A predoping method for a negative electrode active material to dope the negative electrode active material with lithium ions. The predoping method for a negative electrode active material includes: a predoping process and a post-doping modification process. In the predoping process, the negative electrode active material is doped with lithium ions, to thereby reduce a potential of the negative electrode active material relative to lithium metal. In the post-doping modification process, after the predoping process, reaction is caused between a reactive compound that is reactive with lithium ions and lithium ions doped into the negative electrode active material, to thereby increase the potential of the negative electrode active material relative to lithium metal. The potential of the negative electrode active material relative to lithium metal is 0.8 V or more at completion of the post-doping modification process.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignees: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD., JSR CorporationInventors: Shotaro Doi, Yuki Kusachi, Noboru Yamauchi, Tomohiro Kaburagi, Hideaki Horie, Yusuke Nakashima, Kazuya Tsuchida, Naofumi Shoji, Koji Sumiya, Shigehito Asano, Yasuyuki Koga, Nobuo Ando, Terukazu Kokubo

Publication number: 20210175546Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has a power generating element that includes a positive electrode in which a positive electrode active material layer including a positive electrode active material is formed on a surface of a positive electrode current collector, a negative electrode in which a negative electrode active material layer including a negative electrode active material is formed on a surface of a negative electrode current collector, and a separator impregnated with an electrolyte solution. The negative electrode active material includes a Si material that contains silicon and is capable of insertion and removal of lithium ions. The electrolyte solution contains lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) and an inorganic lithium salt other than the LiFSI, and has a feature that a ratio of a concentration (mol/L) of the LiFSI with respect to a concentration (mol/L) of the inorganic lithium salt (LiFSI/inorganic lithium salt) in the electrolyte solution is 1 or less.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2019Publication date: June 10, 2021Applicant: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shotaro DOI, Noboru YAMAUCHI, Yuki KUSACHI, Hajime SATOU, Hideaki HORIE, Yusuke NAKASHIMA, Naofumi SHOJI, Kazuya TSUCHIDA, Koji SUMIYA, Takumi HATAZOE, Shigehito ASANO, Nobuo ANDO

Publication number: 20200219669Abstract: There is provided a means capable of suppressing generation of a lithium dendrite at the time of charging and discharging while sufficiently suppressing an amount of gas generated at the time of initial charging of an electric device. When a lithium ion is doped in advance to a negative electrode active material, which is used in an electric device including a positive electrode and a negative electrode, after performing a pre-doping step of doping the lithium ion to a negative electrode active material to be doped to reduce a potential (vs. Li+/Li) of the negative electrode active material to be doped with respect to a lithium metal, a dedoping step of dedoping the lithium ion from the negative electrode active material doped with the lithium ion in the pre-doping step to increase a potential (vs. Li+/Li) of the negative electrode active material with respect to the lithium metal is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2018Publication date: July 9, 2020Applicant: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Shotaro DOI, Yuki KUSACHI, Hideaki HORIE, Yusuke NAKASHIMA, Kazuya TSUCHIDA, Koji SUMIYA, Shigehito ASANO, Yasuyuki KOGA, Nobuo ANDO, Terukazu KOKUBO
