Abstract

Provided are a binder aqueous solution for a lithium ion battery, a negative electrode slurry for a lithium ion battery, a negative electrode for a lithium ion battery, and a lithium ion battery. The binder aqueous solution for a lithium ion battery has a pH of 5 or higher and contains: a water-soluble polymer (A) that is a polymer of a monomer group containing, with respect to 100 mol % of the monomer group, 15 mol % to 99.9 mol % of an unsaturated carboxylic acid or an inorganic salt thereof, and that has a glass transition temperature of 110° C. or lower; and a hydrolyzed partial condensate (B) of an amino group-containing trialkoxysilane.

Claims (14)

1. A binder aqueous solution for a lithium ion battery, having a pH of 5 to 8 and containing:

a water-soluble polymer (A), wherein the water-soluble polymer (A) is a polymer of a monomer group containing, with respect to 100 mol % of the monomer group, 15 mol % to 40 mol % of an unsaturated carboxylic acid or an inorganic salt thereof, 3 mol % to 40 mol % of a (meth)acrylamide group-containing compound, and has a glass transition temperature of 110° C. or lower; and

a hydrolyzed partial condensate (B) of an amino group-containing trialkoxysilane, and a degree of condensation of the hydrolyzed partial condensate of the amino group-containing trialkoxysilane being 1.01 to 1,000, wherein the amino group-containing trialkoxysilane is selected from the group consisting of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, N-2-(aminoethyl)3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and 3-triethoxysilyl-N-(1,3-dimethyl-butylidene)propylamine.

3. The binder aqueous solution for a lithium ion battery according to claim 1 , containing, with respect to 100 mol % of the monomer group, 15 mol % to 60 mol % of hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylate having a hydroxyalkyl group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms.

4. A negative electrode slurry for a lithium ion battery, containing:

a water-soluble polymer (A), wherein the water-soluble polymer (A) is a polymer of a monomer group containing, with respect to 100 mol % of the monomer group, 15 mol % to 40 mol % of an unsaturated carboxylic acid or an inorganic salt, 3 mol % to 40 mol % of a (meth)acrylamide group-containing compound, and has a glass transition temperature of 110° C. or lower;

wherein the negative electrode slurry has a pH of 5 to 8.

5. A negative electrode for a lithium ion battery, obtained by applying the negative electrode slurry for a lithium ion battery according to claim 4 to a current collector, and drying and curing the same.

6. A lithium ion battery, comprising the negative electrode for a lithium ion battery according to claim 5 .
