Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electrolyte, a reinforcing agent, an electrolytic solution for an electricity storage device, an electricity storage device produced using the same, and a method for producing the same. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the popularization of various electronic devices such as portable electronic terminals represented by smart phones, laptops, etc., as well as hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, etc., secondary batteries have played an important role as their power sources. As these secondary batteries, aqueous solution or non-aqueous electrolyte batteries, and all-solid-state batteries can be cited. Among them, lithium ion secondary batteries using non-aqueous electrolytes with positive and negative electrodes that can contain and release lithium ions, etc., and non-aqueous electrolytes have high energy density at high voltages, excellent safety, and various advantages compared to other secondary batteries in terms of environmental issues.

[0003] In the lithium-ion secondary batteries currently in practical use that use non-aqueous electrolytes, for example, the positive electrode active material uses a composite oxide of lithium and a transition metal, and the negative electrode active material uses a material that can be doped / dedoped with lithium. In order to improve the characteristics, it is required to improve the characteristics of the non-aqueous electrolyte that is responsible for lithium ion transport.

[0004] As such a non-aqueous electrolyte, an electrolyte solution prepared by dissolving an electrolyte such as LiBF4, LiPF6, LiClO4, LiN(SO2CF3)2, or LiN(SO2CF2CF3)2 in an aprotic organic solvent is used.

[0005] It is known that non-aqueous electrolytes containing electrolytes such as LiBF4 and LiPF6 have high conductivity for lithium ion transport and high oxidation decomposition voltage of LiBF4 and LiPF6, so they are stably at high voltage, which helps to bring out the characteristics of lithium secondary batteries such as high voltage and high energy density.

[0006] However, nonaqueous electrolytes used in such lithium secondary batteries are required to have high lithium ion conductivity for low resistance, improved cycle characteristics to maintain high capacity even after repeated charge and discharge, initial low resistance characteristics, and maintenance of high characteristics at high temperatures.

[0007] In order to achieve these objects, various improvements have been proposed for the electrolyte contained in the non-aqueous electrolyte, and new proposals have been made for the material itself.

[0008] In addition, lithium-ion secondary batteries and all-solid-state lithium batteries have been developed that use aqueous electrolytes without the worry of battery fires caused by the flammability of organic solvents in non-aqueous electrolytes. Various improvements have been proposed for the solid electrolytes therein, and new proposals have been made for the materials themselves.

[0009] For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a nonaqueous electrolyte solution containing a complex compound represented by the following general formula as an electrolyte. This discloses that the initial resistance characteristics of an electricity storage device can be improved.

[0010] X-(OA(Z)-OB - (Y)(F)M + -) n -R

[0011] (X, Y, Z, and R represent an alkyl group, A represents P=O, and M represents an alkali metal.)

[0012] In addition, Patent Document 2 proposes a method containing a compound having the general formula: + PO3(F)A - (Where M + A non-aqueous electrolyte solution containing a complex compound having a partial structure represented by (a) is a monovalent metal, and A is a boron atom or a phosphorus atom as an electrolyte. Thus, a non-aqueous electrolyte solution capable of improving the high-temperature charging storage characteristics of an electric storage device, in particular, suppressing the resistance increase during storage, is disclosed.

[0013] Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses an electrolyte for a power storage device containing a lithium-containing complex compound represented by the following formula.

[0014] (Li) m (A) n (UF x ) y

[0015] (Li) m (Si) n (O) q (UF x ) y

[0016] (A is O, S, P or N, U is B or P. m and n are 1 to 6, q is 1 to 12, x is 3 or 5, and y is 1 to 6.)

[0017] (Li) m (O) n (B) p (OWF q ) x

[0018] (W is B or P, m, p, x are 1 to 15, n is 0 to 15, q is 3 or 5.)

[0019] (Li) m (B) p (O) n (OR) y (OWFq ) x

[0020] (W is B or P. n is 0 to 15, p, m, x, y are 1 to 12, q is 3 or 5. R is hydrogen, alkyl, etc.)

[0021] (Li) m (O) n (B) p (OOC-(A) z -COO) y (OWF q ) x

[0022] (W is B or P. A is an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. m, p, x, and y are 1 to 20, n is 0 to 15, z is 0 or 1, and q is 3 or 5.)

[0023] The following is disclosed: Based on this electrolyte, a non-aqueous electrolyte with low resistance is obtained, and a storage device such as a lithium ion secondary battery with good initial characteristics and excellent cycle characteristics is obtained. Furthermore, since it itself has excellent lithium ion conductivity, an all-solid-state lithium secondary battery is obtained.

[0024] However, sufficient improvements or new electrolytes have not yet been obtained.

[0148] [Manufacturing method 2]

[0149] The complex compound (A) of the present invention can be synthesized by a method comprising step 1 of performing a bonding reaction based on dehalogenation of silyl groups using a boron halide salt (E) and a phosphorus compound (F); or a method comprising step 1 and one or more steps 2 in sequence.

[0150] In the complex compound (A) synthesized by the production method 2, R in the formula (2) 4 Each is independently selected from a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a halogen atom, an alkoxy group, a silyloxy group, a thiosilyl group, m One group in the group consisting of the enclosed groups.

[0151] (Process 1)

[0152] A step of performing a bonding reaction between the boron halide salt (E) and the phosphorus compound (F) by dehalogenating a silyl group.

[0153] (Process 2)

[0154] After the above step 1, an additional reaction raw material consisting of a boron halide salt (E) and / or a phosphorus compound (F) is added to carry out a bonding reaction by dehalogenation of the silyl group.

[0155] The above-mentioned dehalogenation silyl reaction is carried out in the absence of a solvent, but a solvent may be appropriately added as necessary.

[0156] In addition, by controlling the reaction temperature, the dehalogenation silylation reaction can be efficiently carried out. The reaction temperature is not particularly limited as long as the dehalogenation silylation reaction can be efficiently carried out.

[0157] For example, the reaction temperature can be selected within the range of 10°C to 150°C depending on the type of solvent used, and the reaction can be suitably accelerated at a range of 20°C to 120°C. In addition, from the perspective of easy control of the reaction rate, a range of 40°C to 100°C is more preferred.

[0158] However, the present production method is not limited to these conditions.

[0159] The molar ratio of the boron element in the boron halide salt (E) to the silyl group of the phosphorus compound (F) in step 1 [boron atom of (E) / silyl group of (F)] can be appropriately determined according to the target chemical structure of the complex compound (A) to be obtained, and is not particularly limited.

[0160] For example, the molar ratio [boron atom of (E) / silyl group of (F)] is preferably 0.2 to 5, more preferably 0.3 to 3.0, and the boron may be more than the silyl group as required. If the molar ratio [boron atom of (E) / silyl group of (F)] is less than the above range, the unreacted silyl group increases, and the solubility of the complex compound (A) is likely to decrease. If the molar ratio [boron atom of (E) / silyl group of (F)] is greater than the above range, the unreacted boron halide salt (E) increases, which tends to shorten the life of the storage device.

[0161] The type, order of addition, and amount of the boron halide salt (E) or phosphorus compound (F) added in step 2 can be appropriately determined according to the target chemical structure of the complex compound (A) to be obtained, and are not particularly limited.

[0162] For example, the molar ratio of the silyl group in the additional phosphorus compound (F) or the boron atom in the additional boron halide salt (E) relative to the unreacted boron atom in the boron halide salt (E) in step 1 or the unreacted silyl group in the phosphorus compound (F) [(additional boron atom in step 2 + additional silyl group) / (unreacted boron atom in step 1 + unreacted silyl group)] is preferably from 0.2 to 5, and more preferably from 0.3 to 3.0.

[0163] The molar ratio [boron atom (E) / silyl group (F)] in all steps including step 1 and step 2 is, for example, preferably 0.2 to 5.0, more preferably 0.3 to 3.0.

[0164] (Boron halide salt (E))

[0165] The boron halide salt (E) is a salt composed of an anion having two or more halogen atoms bonded to boron and an alkali metal cation or a quaternary ammonium cation, and capable of undergoing a dehalogenation silylation reaction.
