Technical Field

The present invention relates to a resin composition, a laminate, a method for producing the same, an electrode, a secondary battery, and an electric double layer capacitor.

Background

Lithium ion batteries are rechargeable high-capacity batteries, and enable electronic devices to have high functionality and to operate for a long time. Further, it is considered that the lithium ion battery is likely to be mounted in an automobile or the like as a battery for a hybrid car, an electric car, or the like.

Lithium ion batteries that are currently widely used include a positive electrode formed by applying a slurry containing an active material such as lithium cobaltate and a binder such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to an aluminum foil. The negative electrode is formed by coating a slurry containing a carbon-based active material and a binder such as PVDF or styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR) on a copper foil.

In order to further increase the capacity of lithium ion batteries, the use of silicon, germanium, or tin as a negative electrode active material has been studied (for example, see patent document 1). Since a negative electrode active material using silicon, germanium, tin, or the like can receive a large amount of lithium ions, a volume change is large when charging is sufficiently performed and when discharging is sufficiently performed. On the other hand, the above-mentioned binders such as PVDF and SBR cannot follow the volume change of the active material.

Therefore, a polyimide resin having higher strength and higher elastic modulus has been studied as a binder for a negative electrode (see, for example, patent document 2). However, polyimide resins generally dissolve in only organic solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidone and N, N' -dimethylacetamide, which poses a problem of high environmental burden. Therefore, studies have been made on mixing a resin in an aqueous solvent to prepare an aqueous adhesive.

As an aqueous solution of a polyimide resin, an aqueous solution obtained by adding a polyimide precursor to a water-soluble organic amine or an imidazole compound is known (for example, see patent documents 3 to 4); an aqueous solution obtained by mixing a polyimide having a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, or a sulfonic acid group introduced into a side chain thereof with an alkali metal hydroxide or the like (see, for example, patent document 5 and non-patent document 1).

Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

However, the aqueous solutions of polyimide precursors as described in patent documents 3 to 4 have a problem that the main chain of the polymer is hydrolyzed and the aqueous solutions are deteriorated. Further, the aqueous solutions of polyimide resins as described in patent document 5 and non-patent document 1 have a problem of insufficient long-term stability when prepared into aqueous solutions because the solubility of the resins in water is low. Further, the ionized side chain has a small interaction with the filler, and there is a problem that sufficient filler dispersibility and adhesiveness as an adhesive cannot be obtained when the aqueous solution is made into a slurry.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition having high strength and high elastic modulus, high long-term stability of an aqueous solution, and good dispersibility of a filler and adhesiveness as an adhesive.

Means for solving the problems

The present invention is a resin composition comprising (a) a resin and (b) a basic compound; the resin contains at least 1 of polyimide, polyamide-imide and polybenzoxazole, and has at least 1 acidic functional group of phenolic hydroxyl group, carboxyl group and sulfonic group on a side chain, and the concentration of the acidic functional group is more than 3.4 mol/kg.
