Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries and a mixture paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries that are inhibited from increasing in viscosity and gelling, and that have an easy-to-apply viscosity. The conductive paste of the present invention contains a dispersion resin (A), polyvinylidene fluoride (B), conductive carbon (C), a solvent (D), and a dehydrating agent (E).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries comprising a dispersion resin (A), polyvinylidene fluoride (B), conductive carbon (C), a solvent (D), and a dehydrating agent (E), wherein the solvent (D) comprises N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. 2. The conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the dehydrating agent (E) has a boiling point or sublimation point of 200° C. or less. 3. The conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion resin (A) comprises a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon group-containing resin (A1). 4. The conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersion resin (A) comprises a polyvinyl alcohol resin (A2). 5. The conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive carbon (C) comprises acetylene black. 6. The conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive carbon (C) comprises graphite. 7. The conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the dehydrating agent (E) is an acidic compound. 8. The conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive paste has a water content of less than 1.0 mass %. 9. A method for producing the conductive paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 1 , comprising mixing and/or dispersing a pigment in an atmosphere at a dew point of 10° C. or less. 10. A mixture paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries comprising the conductive paste according to claim 1 and an electrode active material mixed with the conductive paste. 11. The mixture paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 10 , wherein the mixture paste has a lithium hydroxide content of less than 1.5 mass %, based on the mass of the polyvinylidene fluoride (B). 12. An electrode for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries obtained by using the mixture paste for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 10 . 13. A lithium ion battery comprising the electrode for positive electrodes of lithium-ion batteries according to claim 12 .
