Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte solution and a lithium secondary battery containing the solution.

[0002] This application claims the benefit of Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-235040, filed with the Japan Patent Office on December 25, 2019, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background Technology

[0003] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used as storage batteries, not only in portable devices such as mobile phones or laptops, but also in vehicles, industrial applications, and even emerging applications such as drones. Compared with other types of rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries have a relatively high energy density, but to manufacture lithium-ion batteries with even higher energy density, nickel-containing materials are considered as the positive electrode active material.

[0004] Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) has long been used as the positive electrode active material for lithium-ion secondary batteries, but the use of nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) compounds containing nickel is increasing. Furthermore, the use of nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) ternary materials is also being considered. This ternary material offers advantages in high energy density and is cost-competitive due to its reduced cobalt content.

[0005] Furthermore, silicon-containing materials are currently being developed as anode active materials. Due to their high theoretical capacity, silicon-containing materials hold particular promise for use in automotive applications requiring high capacity.

[0006] When positive and negative electrode active materials are used as described above, the optimal electrolyte solution should be considered. It is well known that trace amounts of water in the electrolyte solution can affect electrolyte degradation. For example, when LiPF6 is used as the electrolyte, the following reaction occurs: the electrolyte decomposes, producing acidic components.

[0007] LiPF6 + H2O → LiF + POF3 + 2HF

[0008] As is well known, the acidic components produced react with the surface of silicon-containing anode materials (such as SiO) or with the layer formed on that surface, which in turn increases impedance and degrades battery characteristics. Furthermore, when nickel-containing materials are used as cathode active materials, a large amount of alkali remains in the material, potentially accelerating the acid-generating reaction.

[0009] Patent Document 1 discloses the use of a non-aqueous electrolyte containing triborate to improve the high-temperature storage and cycle characteristics of lithium secondary batteries. However, Patent Document 1 discloses methods to reduce the impact on OH groups. - The effects on acids were disclosed, but the effects on acids were not disclosed.

[0010] Patent document 2 discloses the use of an electrolyte containing a specific silicon-containing compound to improve the lifespan and high-temperature stability of lithium secondary batteries. However, such silicon-containing compounds are generally difficult to prepare, and their effects are not well known.

[0011] Patent Document 3 discloses a non-aqueous electrolyte solution containing at least one additive selected from compounds containing nitrogen atoms with lone pairs of electrons to prevent the generation of hydrogen fluoride due to the use of a specific fluorinated acrylate as the electrolyte composition. However, Patent Document 3 demonstrates that while effective when graphite is used as the negative electrode, it does not resolve the effects on the negative electrode and the layer on the surface when silicon-containing materials are used.

[0151] Evaluation of non-aqueous electrolyte solutions and lithium secondary batteries

[0152] (1) Measurement of acid content

[0153] The acid content measurements of the electrolyte solutions from Examples 1 and 2 before and after storage at 60°C for one week are shown in Table 1 below. The acid content was measured by placing 10g of the electrolyte solution sample into 100g of pure water, neutralizing with 0.1mol / L NaOH reagent, and titrating. The concentration was calculated assuming the generated acid was all hydrogen fluoride (HF).

[0154] Table 1

[0155]

[0156] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, in Examples 1 and 2, where an electrolyte solution containing methylene bis(dibutyldithiocarbamate) or 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole was used as the non-aqueous electrolyte solution, the amount of acid produced was reduced. Furthermore, particularly in Example 1 using methylene bis(dibutyldithiocarbamate), the acid content after storage was significantly reduced, thus demonstrating an effect of reducing acid content.

[0157] (2) Charge / discharge cycle test

[0158] Charge-discharge cycle tests were conducted using lithium secondary batteries manufactured in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Example 1 at a constant current of 0.5C and a maximum charging voltage of 4.20V, with a minimum discharging voltage of 2.50V. To accurately monitor the capacity at the 50th, 100th, and 200th cycles, a constant current of 0.1C was used.

[0159] Figures 1 to 4 This is a graph showing the relationship between the number of cycles and the capacity obtained as test results. Figure 1 In the relatively early stages, Examples 1 and 2 showed significant differences in capacity retention compared to Comparative Example 1, and in Comparative Example 1, the capacity was significantly reduced in the non-aqueous electrolyte solution without the addition of additives. Meanwhile, it can be seen that in Examples 1 and 2, where the non-aqueous electrolyte solution contained methylene bis(dibutyldithiocarbamate) (A1) or 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (A2), the capacity was maintained for a longer period. Figures 2 to 4 As can be seen, in Comparative Example 1, where no additives were added to the non-aqueous electrolyte solution, the capacity decreased significantly. However, in Examples 3 to 8, where the non-aqueous electrolyte solution contained 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trithiol, 2-(dibutylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-dithiol, 6-(diisopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol, 6-(diisobutylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol, 6-diallylamino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol, and 6-(di(2-ethylhexyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol), the capacity was maintained for a long time.

[0160] (3) Storage test at 60℃

[0161] Using the lithium secondary batteries manufactured in Examples 3 to 8 and Comparative Example 1, the degree of degradation was evaluated as follows: the discharge capacity was measured at 25°C and a constant current of 0.5C (upper limit of charging voltage 4.2V, lower limit of discharge voltage 2.50V), and the remaining capacity (upper limit of charging voltage 4.35V) was measured after storing the fully charged lithium secondary batteries at a constant current of 0.5C in an oven at 60°C for 2 weeks and 4 weeks in a constant current of 0.5C. Figures 5 to 7 It is a graph showing the relationship between the number of cycles and the capacity obtained as test results.

[0162] exist Figures 5 to 7 In this context, the capacity that immediately decreases after 2 and 4 weeks is the "remaining capacity." The remaining capacity after 2 weeks increases again due to recharging to 4.2V. In other words, the remaining capacity within 4 weeks is the capacity measured after 2 weeks, recharged to 4.2V, and stored at 60°C for another 2 weeks.

[0163] Industrial applicability

[0164] The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the present invention inhibits the generation of acid, thereby maintaining capacity after repeated charging / discharging under high temperature conditions.
