Embodiment 1

[0216] In Example 1, an active material was produced by the following procedure.

[0217]

[0218] First, weigh titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) and niobium pentoxide (Nb 2 o 5 ), to have a molar ratio of 1:1. These materials were placed in a mortar, and ethanol was added thereto and mixed. Then, the mixture was placed in an alumina crucible, followed by heat treatment at 1000° C. for 12 hours in the atmosphere using an electric furnace. After natural cooling, grind and mix the resulting mixture again in a mortar. Then, the mixture was subjected to heat treatment at 1100° C. for 12 hours to obtain active material particles.

[0219] As a result of ICP analysis, it was found that the composition of the active material particles was TiNb 2 o 7 .

[0220]

[0221] The active material particles obtained in the above manner were added to a solution containing 10% by weight of sucrose based on the weight of the active material, followed by mixing with a ball mill. After mixing...

Embodiment 2

[0239] The active material of Example 2 was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the sintering temperature of the composite in a reducing atmosphere was set to 700°C.

[0240] As a result of ICP analysis, it was found that the composition of the active material particles prepared by the solid phase method was TiNb 2 o 7 .

[0241] In addition, the obtained active material was subjected to Raman spectroscopy in the same manner as in Example 1. Figure 12 The resulting Raman spectrum is shown in .

[0242] Such as Figure 12 Shown, the Raman spectrogram of the active material that obtains in embodiment 2 has in 1587cm -1 G band with peak at and at 1350cm -1 D band with a peak at . In addition, the Lorentzian function fitting method was performed, and the peak intensity I of the G band originating from the carbon material G with the peak intensity of the D band I D The ratio between I G / I D is 1.12.

[0243] In addition, the obtained active material...

Embodiment 3

[0245] The active material of Example 3 was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the sintering temperature of the composite in a reducing atmosphere was set to 750°C.

[0246] As a result of ICP analysis, it was found that the composition of the active material particles prepared by the solid phase method was TiNb 2 o 7 .

[0247] The resulting active material was subjected to Raman spectroscopy in the same manner as in Example 1. As a result, it was found that the obtained active material contained -1 Nearby G-band and 1330cm -1 carbon material near the D band. In addition, the Lorentzian function fitting method was performed, and the peak intensity I of the G band G with the peak intensity of the D band I D The ratio between I G / I D is 0.95.

Abstract

The invention relates to an active substance, a nonaqueous electrolyte battery and a battery pack. According to one embodiment, there is provided an active substance. The active substance includes particles of niobium titanium composite oxide and a phase including a carbon material. The niobium titanium composite oxide is represented by Ti1-xM1xNb2-yM2yO7. The phase is formed on at least a part of the surface of the particles. The carbon material shows, in a Raman chart obtained by Raman spectrometry, a G band observed at from 1530 to 1630 cm-1 and a D band observed at from 1280 to 1380 cm-1. A ratio IG / ID between a peak intensity IG of the G band and a peak intensity ID of the D band is from 0.8 to 1.2.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments described herein generally relate to active materials, methods for manufacturing active materials, nonaqueous electrolyte cells, and batteries. Background technique [0002] Recently, nonaqueous electrolyte batteries such as lithium ion secondary batteries have been developed as batteries with high energy density. The nonaqueous electrolyte battery is expected to be used as a power source for vehicles such as hybrid vehicles or electric cars or as a large-scale power source for electric power storage. In particular, for use in vehicles, non-aqueous electrolyte batteries are required to have other properties such as quick charging and discharging properties and long-term reliability. A nonaqueous electrolyte battery capable of rapid charging and discharging not only significantly shortens charging time, but also makes it possible to improve performance related to the power of a hybrid vehicle and efficiently recover regenerative energy. ...
