Abstract

The present invention provides a dispersant for carbon materials, the dispersant containing a copolymer having a nitrogen-containing group, wherein the copolymer has a nitrogen content of 0.01 wt % or more and 5 wt % or less and the copolymer has an SP value of 8.0 to 12 (cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 .

Claims (25)

1. A dispersion comprising:

a dispersant for carbon materials;

a carbon material; and

a low-polar solvent having a dielectric constant of 1.5 or more and 6.4 or less and/or a low-polar medium that is a hydrocarbon resin having a dielectric constant of 1.5 or more and 6.4 or less;

wherein the dispersant comprises a copolymer (A) containing a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer (a) represented by the following formula (1) and a nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer (b),

wherein the nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer (b) consists of at least one monomer (b1) represented by the following formula (2), with the proviso that N-vinylpyrrolidone is required in the monomer (b), and

wherein the copolymer (A) has a nitrogen content of 0.01 wt % or more and 5 wt % or less, and the copolymer (A) has a solubility parameter value of 8.0 to 12.0 (cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 :

wherein R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; X 1 is a C2-C4 oxyalkylene group; R 2 is a C8-C32 alkyl group when p=0, or a C1-C32 alkyl group when p=1 to 20; p is an integer of 0 to 20, and each X 1 may be the same or different when p is 2 or greater;

wherein R 3 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; X 2 is at least one group selected from the group consisting of an ester group, an amide group, a carbonyl group, and an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, and q is an integer of 0 or 1; X 3 is a C2-C4 alkylene group, and r is an integer of 0 or 1; R 4 and R 5 are C1-C4 hydrocarbon groups that may be the same or different from each other, and may be bonded together to form a ring; and when the amino group in the formula (2) is a cyclic amino group formed by bonding of R 4 and R 5 , the cyclic amino group contains a C4-C5 hydrocarbon group and 0 to 2 carbonyl groups.

2. The dispersion according to claim 1 ,

wherein the carbon material is at least one carbon material selected from the group consisting of graphite, carbon black (CB), carbon nanotube (CNT), carbon nanofiber (CNF), carbon fiber (CF), acetylene black (AB), fullerene, and natural graphite.

3. The dispersion according to claim 1 ,

wherein the nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer (b) contains at least two monomers (b1).

4. An electrode slurry for an all-solid lithium ion secondary battery, comprising:

the dispersion according to claim 1 ;

a solid electrolyte; and

a positive electrode active material or a negative electrode active material.

5. An electrode for an all-solid lithium ion secondary battery, comprising:

the dispersion according to claim 1 ;

a solid electrolyte; and

a positive electrode active material or a negative electrode active material.

6. An all-solid lithium ion secondary battery comprising:

the electrode for an all-solid lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 5 .

7. A method of producing an electrode for an all-solid lithium ion secondary battery, comprising:

preparing the electrode slurry for an all-solid lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 4 by mixing the dispersion, the solid electrolyte, and the positive electrode active material or the negative electrode active material.
