Abstract

The present invention provides a binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode that has good adhesive properties and a low degree of swelling with respect to an electrolytic solution. There is used a binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode, which comprises a polyvinyl acetal-based resin (A) containing structural units represented by chemical formulae (1) to (3): (R1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms), and (R2 is a functional group containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond).

Claims (17)

1. A binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode, which comprises a polyvinyl acetal-based resin (A) containing structural units represented by chemical formulae (1) to (3):

wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and

wherein R2 is a functional group containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond.

2. The binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 1 , wherein, in the polyvinyl acetal-based resin (A), the degree of acetalization of the structural unit represented by the formula (2) is from 10 to 40% by mol.

3. The binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 1 , wherein, in the polyvinyl acetal-based resin (A), the degree of crosslinking group modification of the structural unit represented by the formula (3) is from 0.1 to 15% by mol.

4. The binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 1 , wherein, in the polyvinyl acetal-based resin (A), the content of the structural unit represented by the formula (1) is from 45 to 89.9% by mol.

5. The binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the average degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl acetal-based resin (A) is 1,500 or more.

6. The binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 1 , which contains a solvent (B).

7. The binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 1 , which contains a polymerization initiator (C).

8. A method for producing a lithium ion secondary battery electrode, which comprises forming an electrode on a collector using the binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 1 and crosslinking the polyvinyl acetal-based resin (A) by heat or light.

9. A lithium ion secondary battery electrode comprising the binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 1 and an active material.

10. The lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 9 , wherein the polyvinyl acetal-based resin (A) contained in the binder for a lithium ion secondary battery electrode is from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the active material.

11. A lithium ion secondary battery electrode comprising a crosslinked product of a polyvinyl acetal-based resin (A) containing structural units represented by chemical formulae (1) to (3):

wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and

wherein R2 is a functional group containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond.

12. A lithium ion secondary battery having the lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 9 .

13. A lithium ion secondary battery having the lithium ion secondary battery electrode according to claim 11 .
