Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a separator for a lithium ion secondary battery and a battery comprising the separator. The separator supplements the irreversible capacity of a negative electrode. The separator comprises composite particles (A), and the composite particles (A) include a core portion comprising lithium composite metal oxide particles and a shell portion comprising a carbonaceous material with which the core surface is coated at least partially; the composite particles (A) cause lithium deintercalation at 0.1 V to 2.5 V (vs. Li+/Li); the battery has a positive electrode potential of 3 V or more (vs. Li+/Li); and the battery has a driving voltage of 2.5 V to 4.5 V.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lithium ion secondary battery comprising a negative electrode, a positive electrode and a separator interposed between the negative electrode and the positive electrode,
wherein the separator comprises:
a porous film comprising a polymer resin,
wherein the porous film has a first surface and a second surface;
a lithium-providing layer formed on the first surface of the porous film; and
a heat resistant layer formed on the second surface of the porous film, and
wherein the lithium-providing layer comprises composite particles (A) and the heat resistant layer comprises inorganic particles (B) not comprising lithium as an ingredient,
wherein the inorganic particles (B) are present in an amount of 90 wt % or more based on 100 wt % of the heat resistant layer,
the composite particles (A) comprise a core portion comprising lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (Li x Al y Ti z (PO 4 ) 3 , 0<x<2, 0<y<1, 0<z<3) and a shell portion comprising a carbonaceous material with which the core surface is coated at least partially;
the composite particles (A) cause lithium deintercalation at 0.1 V to 2.5 V (vs. Li/Li);
the battery has a positive electrode potential of 3 V or more (vs. Li+/Li); and
the battery has a driving voltage of 2.5 V to 4.5 V,
wherein the composite particles (A) cause lithium deintercalation during the initial charge/discharge of the battery to supplement irreversible capacity of the negative electrode and do not contribute to the battery capacity from the second charge/discharge,
wherein the negative electrode comprises a negative electrode active material comprising Si and/or Sn, or an oxide thereof, and
wherein the composite particles (A) are present in an amount of 90 wt % or more based on 100 wt % of the lithium-providing layer.

2.

3. The lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium-providing layer is patterned to have a non-coated region.

4. The lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbonaceous material coating is formed by carbonization of a carbonaceous precursor.

5. The lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 4 , wherein the carbonaceous precursor is any one selected from the group consisting of pitch, furfuryl alcohol, glucose, sucrose, phenolic resin, phenolic oligomer, resorcinol resin, resorcinol oligomer, phloroglucinol resin, phloroglucinol oligomer and unsaturated hydrocarbon gases, such as ethylene, propylene or acetylene, or a combination of two or more of them.
