Description

Non-aqueous electrolyte for secondary batteries and secondary batteries

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a nonaqueous electrolyte for a secondary battery and a secondary battery.

[0002] Secondary batteries are used as power sources for electronic devices such as smartphones and personal computers, as well as for automobiles, etc. Research into batteries used in these applications has been extensively conducted with the aim of improving various properties such as higher output, higher energy density, cycle characteristics, and rate characteristics.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a 2.4 mol / L (FSO 2 ) 2 NLi and 1 mass% of FSO 2 NH 2 and a mixed solvent of dimethyl carbonate and ethyl methyl carbonate in a molar ratio of 9:1.

[0005] In the positive electrode of a secondary battery, a positive electrode current collector such as an aluminum foil is used, and corrosion of the positive electrode current collector due to elution of aluminum, etc., can be a problem. Corrosion of the positive electrode current collector can accelerate deterioration of the secondary battery and shorten its lifespan.

[0006] Furthermore, since secondary batteries are likely to be stored under high-temperature conditions in various devices, a secondary battery that is less likely to self-discharge even when stored under high-temperature conditions can be useful and suitable for use in such devices.

[0010] Modes for carrying out the invention included in this disclosure will be described below, but the invention included in this disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. Note that when a numerical range is indicated as X to Y, it means X or more and Y or less. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the materials, components, or methods exemplified in this specification can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0011] <Non-aqueous Electrolyte> One embodiment of the present invention is a non-aqueous electrolyte for a secondary battery, which contains a hexafluorophosphate salt, a compound represented by formula (1) described below, and a non-aqueous solvent.

[0012] <Hexafluorophosphate> Hexafluorophosphate is a salt composed of a hexafluorophosphate ion and a counter cation. That is, one embodiment of the present invention can be said to be a non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a secondary battery containing a hexafluorophosphate ion, a counter cation, a compound represented by formula (1) described below, and a non-aqueous solvent.

Furthermore, the counter cation in the hexafluorophosphate may be an alkali metal ion, a lithium ion, a sodium ion, or even a lithium ion. In other words, the hexafluorophosphate according to this embodiment may be an alkali metal salt of hexafluorophosphate, lithium hexafluorophosphate, sodium hexafluorophosphate, or lithium hexafluorophosphate. For example, when the nonaqueous electrolyte for a secondary battery according to this embodiment is a nonaqueous electrolyte for a lithium-ion secondary battery, the hexafluorophosphate may be lithium hexafluorophosphate.

When the molar concentration of hexafluorophosphate is within the above range, self-discharge during high-temperature storage is more unlikely to occur. An example of a molar concentration of hexafluorophosphate that further reduces self-discharge during high-temperature storage is 0.40 mol / L to 0.80 mol / L.

[0015] <Compound Represented by Formula (1)> The nonaqueous electrolyte solution for a secondary battery according to this embodiment contains a compound represented by the following formula (1).

[0085] In the method according to this embodiment, the non-aqueous electrolyte solution further containing the compound of formula (1) may be the same as the non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to one embodiment with respect to components other than the compound of formula (1). The compound of formula (1) may be further contained by, for example, further adding the compound of formula (1) to a non-aqueous electrolyte solution containing a hexafluorophosphate salt. Furthermore, the compound of formula (1) may be further contained by, for example, adding the hexafluorophosphate salt and other components to a non-aqueous solvent in which the compound of formula (1) has been dissolved in advance.

[0086] In the method according to the present embodiment, the non-aqueous electrolyte containing hexafluorophosphate may further contain a salt containing an anion of formula (2). When the non-aqueous electrolyte contains hexafluorophosphate and a salt containing an anion of formula (2), the addition of the compound of formula (1) can more effectively suppress self-discharge during high-temperature storage. When the non-aqueous electrolyte contains hexafluorophosphate and a salt containing an anion of formula (2), the content of the salt containing an anion of formula (2) may be the same as that of the non-aqueous electrolyte according to an embodiment.

[0087] In the method according to this embodiment, the type of the formula (1) compound further contained in the non-aqueous electrolyte is the same as the formula (1) compound according to the non-aqueous electrolyte according to one embodiment. The amount of the formula (1) compound further contained in the non-aqueous electrolyte may be, for example, such that the content of the formula (1) compound is 0.0005% by mass to 1.0% by mass, 0.001% by mass to 0.8% by mass, 0.003% by mass to 0.5% by mass, 0.005% by mass to 0.1% by mass, or 0.01% by mass to 0.1% by mass, based on the total amount of the non-aqueous electrolyte. When the content of the formula (1) compound is within the above range, self-discharge during high-temperature storage in the secondary battery is more unlikely to occur. An example of the content of the formula (1) compound that is more unlikely to cause self-discharge during high-temperature storage is 0.001% by mass to 0.1% by mass. The amount of the compound of formula (1) further contained in the non-aqueous electrolyte solution may be 0.001 to 100 parts by mass, 0.002 to 50 parts by mass, 0.1 to 30 parts by mass, 0.3 to 25 parts by mass, or 0.5 to 20 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the hexafluorophosphate. When the amount of the compound of formula (1) contained relative to the hexafluorophosphate is within the above range, the secondary battery is less likely to self-discharge during high-temperature storage.

[0088] In the method according to this embodiment, the secondary battery may be the same as the secondary battery according to one embodiment of the present invention, for example, the secondary battery may be a lithium ion battery.
