[0002] To date, optimization of various battery components, including the active materials of the positive and negative electrodes, has been investigated as a means of improving the durability of non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries. Non-aqueous electrolytes are no exception, and it has been proposed to use various additives to form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) at the interface between the electrode and electrolyte to suppress degradation due to electrolyte decomposition on the surface of the active positive and negative electrodes.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that, when used in an electricity storage device such as a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, in order to improve battery characteristics in terms of long-term cycle characteristics, resistance characteristics, and initial resistance characteristics, a compound in which a cyclic sulfone group is bonded to a phosphinyloxy group is included as an additive in the electrolyte.

A group containing a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond having 6 or less carbon atoms is preferred because the internal resistance tends to be smaller, specifically, a group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl group, an allyl group, a 1-propenyl group, a 2-propenyl group, an ethynyl group, and a 2-propynyl group is preferred, and a vinyl group is particularly preferred.

Groups selected from alkyl groups and alkoxy groups tend to have smaller resistance when a coating is formed on an electrode, and as a result, are preferred from the viewpoint of output characteristics. In particular, a group selected from the group consisting of a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, a 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl group, a 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl group, a 1,1,1-trifluoroisopropyl group, a 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl group, a 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy group, a 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy group, a 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropoxy group, a 1,1,1-trifluoroisopropoxy group, and a 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropoxy group is preferred, since this allows for a nonaqueous electrolyte battery to be obtained that is more excellent in high-temperature cycle characteristics and high-temperature storage characteristics without increasing the internal resistance when a coating is formed on an electrode.

[0126] The number of groups having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond represented by a in the above general formula [5] must be an integer of 2 to 4 in order to form a film on the electrode and thereby to achieve the object of the present invention, and is preferably 3 or 4 because it is easier to improve the high-temperature cycle characteristics and high-temperature storage characteristics, and is particularly preferably 4. Although the details are unclear, it is thought that this is because it is easier to form a stronger film.

[0127] More specifically, examples of the compound represented by the above general formula [5] include the following compounds No. 5-1 to No. 5-20, etc. However, the silane compound used in the present invention is not limited in any way by the following examples.

[0128] [ka]

[0129] As the compound represented by the above general formula [5], among the above compounds No. 5-1 to No. 5-20, compounds No. 5-1, No. 5-2, No. 5-3, No. 5-4, No. 5-5, No. 5-6, No. 5-8, No. 5-9, No. 5-12, No. 5-17, No. 5-18, and No. 5-20 are more preferable from the viewpoint of improving durability at high temperatures, and compounds No. 5-2, No. 5-4, No. 5-5, No. 5-8, and No. 5-18 are particularly preferable.

[0130] The compound represented by the above general formula [5] is preferably one that has been highly purified by a general purification operation. In particular, the Cl (chlorine) content in the compound as a raw material before dissolving in the electrolyte is preferably 5000 mass ppm or less, more preferably 1000 mass ppm or less, and even more preferably 100 mass ppm or less. If a salt having an imide anion in which Cl (chlorine) remains at a high concentration is used, it is not preferable because it tends to corrode battery components.

[0131] Similarly, the content of free acid in the compound as a raw material before dissolving in the electrolyte is preferably 5000 mass ppm or less, more preferably 1000 mass ppm or less, and further preferably 100 mass ppm or less. Use of a salt having an imide anion in which free acid remains at a high concentration is undesirable because it tends to corrode battery components.

[0132] In order to obtain a highly pure compound represented by the above general formula [5], or to adjust the chlorine or free acid content to the above range, a purification operation can be carried out. This purification procedure may be any procedure commonly used in organic synthesis, and is not particularly limited. Specific examples include washing, separation, concentration, distillation, activated carbon treatment, column chromatography, and the like.

[0133] The compound represented by the above general formula [5] can be produced by a method of reacting a silicon compound having a silanol group or a hydrolyzable group with an organometallic reagent containing a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond to substitute the silanol group or the hydrolyzable group in the silicon compound with a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond group, as described in, for example, JP-A-10-139784, Journal of Organic Chemistry (1957), vol. 22, p. 1200-2, or Chemicke Zvesti (1964), vol. 18, p. 21-7, to produce a silicon compound containing a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond.

These compounds can also improve high-temperature storage properties and low-temperature properties when used in combination with the first additive.

[0135] The content of the above (II) relative to the total amount of the above (I) to (IV) is preferably 0.005 mass % or more, more preferably 0.05 mass % or more, and more preferably 0.1 mass % or more, and is preferably 12.0 mass % or less, more preferably 10.0 mass % or less, and more preferably 5.0 mass % or less. When the content is 0.005% by mass or more, the effect of improving the battery characteristics tends to be easily obtained.When the content is 12.0% by mass or less, deterioration of characteristics at low temperatures due to an increase in the viscosity of the electrolyte solution is unlikely to occur. The content of the above (II) is preferably within a range not exceeding 12.0% by mass, and one type may be used alone, or two or more types may be mixed in any combination and ratio depending on the application.

[0170] [Negative electrode active material] In the case of a lithium ion secondary battery in which the cations in the non-aqueous electrolyte are mainly lithium, the negative electrode active material constituting the negative electrode (c) is capable of doping and dedoping lithium ions, and examples thereof include (E) a carbon material having a d value of 0.340 nm or less in the lattice plane (002 plane) in X-ray diffraction, (F) a carbon material having a d value of more than 0.340 nm in the lattice plane (002 plane) in X-ray diffraction, (G) an oxide of one or more metals selected from Si, Sn, and Al, (H) one or more metals selected from Si, Sn, and Al, or an alloy containing these metals, or an alloy of these metals or alloys and lithium, and (I) a material containing at least one selected from lithium titanium oxide. These negative electrode active materials can be used alone or in combination of two or more. In addition, lithium metal, metal nitride, tin compound, conductive polymer, etc. may also be used.

[0171] ((E) Carbon material with d value of lattice plane (002 plane) of 0.340 nm or less in X-ray diffraction) Negative electrode active material (E) Examples of carbon materials having a lattice plane (002 plane) d value of 0.340 nm or less in X-ray diffraction include pyrolytic carbons, cokes (e.g., pitch coke, needle coke, petroleum coke, etc.), graphites, organic polymer compound baked bodies (e.g., phenol resin, furan resin, etc. baked at an appropriate temperature and carbonized), carbon fibers, activated carbon, etc., which may be graphitized. The carbon materials in question are those having a (002) plane interplanar spacing (d002) of 0.340 nm or less as measured by X-ray diffraction, and among them, those having a true density of 1.70 g / cm 3 Graphite having the above properties or a highly crystalline carbon material having properties similar thereto is preferred.

[0172] ((F) Carbon material with d value of lattice plane (002 plane) exceeding 0.340 nm in X-ray diffraction) Negative electrode active material (F) Carbon materials with a d value of the lattice plane (002 plane) exceeding 0.340 nm in X-ray diffraction include amorphous carbon, which is a carbon material in which the stacking order hardly changes even when heat-treated at high temperatures of 2000°C or higher. Examples include non-graphitizable carbon (hard carbon), mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) fired at 1500°C or lower, and mesophase pitch carbon fiber (MCF). Carbotron (registered trademark) P manufactured by Kureha Corporation is a representative example.

[0173] ((G) Oxide of one or more metals selected from Si, Sn and Al) Negative electrode active material (G) Examples of the oxide of one or more metals selected from Si, Sn, and Al include silicon oxide, tin oxide, and the like, which can be doped and dedoped with lithium ions. Ultrafine particles of Si are SiO 2 SiO with a structure dispersed in x When this material is used as the negative electrode active material, charging and discharging are smooth because the Si that reacts with Li is in the form of ultrafine particles, while the SiO xSince the particles themselves have a small surface area, the particles have good paint properties when made into a composition (paste) for forming a negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode mixture layer has good adhesion to the current collector. In addition, SiO x Since the volume change during charging and discharging is large, SiO x By using the graphite of the negative electrode active material (E) in a specific ratio in combination with the negative electrode active material, it is possible to achieve both high capacity and good charge / discharge cycle characteristics.

[0174] ((H) One or more metals selected from Si, Sn, and Al, or alloys containing these metals, or alloys of these metals or alloys with lithium) Negative electrode active material (H) Examples of the one or more metals selected from Si, Sn, and Al, or alloys containing these metals, or alloys of these metals or alloys with lithium include metals such as silicon, tin, and aluminum, silicon alloys, tin alloys, and aluminum alloys, and materials in which these metals or alloys are alloyed with lithium during charging and discharging can also be used. Preferred specific examples of these include metal elements (e.g., powders) such as silicon (Si) and tin (Sn), metal alloys, compounds containing the metals, and alloys containing tin (Sn) and cobalt (Co) in the metals, as described in WO2004 / 100293 and JP2008-016424. When the metals are used in electrodes, they are preferred because they can achieve high charge capacity and the volume expansion and contraction associated with charging and discharging is relatively small. In addition, it is known that when these metals are used in the negative electrode of a lithium ion secondary battery, they are alloyed with Li during charging, resulting in high charge capacity, which is also preferred in this respect. Furthermore, negative electrode active materials formed from silicon pillars with submicron diameters, negative electrode active materials made of silicon fibers, and the like, as described in, for example, WO2004 / 042851, WO2007 / 083155, and the like, may also be used.

[0175] ((I) Lithium Titanium Oxide) Negative electrode active material (I) Examples of the lithium titanium oxide include lithium titanate having a spinel structure and lithium titanate having a ramsdellite structure. Examples of lithium titanate having a spinel structure include Li 4+α Ti 5 O 12 (α varies within the range of 0≦α≦3 depending on the charge / discharge reaction). Examples of lithium titanate having a ramsdellite structure include Li 2+β Ti 3 O 7 (β varies within the range of 0≦β≦3 depending on the charge / discharge reaction.) These negative electrode active materials can be prepared in accordance with the manufacturing methods described in, for example, JP-A-2007-018883 and JP-A-2009-176752. On the other hand, in the case of a sodium ion secondary battery in which the cations in the non-aqueous electrolyte are mainly sodium, the negative electrode active material is, for example, hard carbon or TiO 2 , V 2 O 5 , MoO 3 For example, in the case of a sodium ion secondary battery in which the cations in the non-aqueous electrolyte are mainly sodium, NaFeO 2 , NaCrO 2 , NaNiO 2 , NaMnO 2 , NaCoO 2 Sodium-containing transition metal composite oxides such as Fe, Cr, Ni, Ti, Mn, Co, etc., are mixed with multiple transition metals such as Fe, Cr, Ni, Ti, Mn, Co, etc. (e.g., NaNi 0.5 Ti 0.3 Mn 0.2 O 2 ), those in which a part of the transition metal in the sodium-containing transition metal composite oxide is replaced by a metal other than the transition metal, 2 FeP 2 O 7 , NaCo 3 (PO 4 ) 2 P 2 O 7Phosphates of transition metals such as TiS 2 , FeS 2 or conductive polymers such as polyacetylene, polyparaphenylene, polyaniline, and polypyrrole; activated carbon; polymers that generate radicals; and carbon materials.

[0176] [Negative electrode current collector] (c) The negative electrode has a negative electrode current collector. As the negative electrode current collector, for example, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, nickel, titanium, or an alloy thereof can be used.

[0177] [Negative electrode active material layer] (c) The negative electrode has, for example, a negative electrode active material layer formed on at least one surface of a negative electrode current collector. The negative electrode active material layer is composed of, for example, the above-mentioned negative electrode active material, a binder, and, if necessary, a conductive agent.

[0178] Examples of the binder include polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) resin.

[0179] As the conductive agent, for example, carbon materials such as acetylene black, ketjen black, carbon fiber, or graphite (granular graphite or flake graphite) can be used.

[0180] [Method of manufacturing electrodes ((a) positive electrode and (c) negative electrode)] The electrode can be obtained, for example, by dispersing and kneading the active material, the binder, and optionally the conductive agent in a predetermined blending amount in a solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) or water, applying the obtained paste to a current collector, and drying to form an active material layer. The obtained electrode is preferably compressed by a method such as a roll press to adjust the density of the electrode to an appropriate value.

[0181] [(D) Separator] The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a separator (d). The separator for preventing contact between the positive electrode (b) and the negative electrode (c) is a non-woven fabric or porous sheet made of polyolefin such as polypropylene or polyethylene, cellulose, paper, glass fiber, etc. These films are preferably microporous so that the electrolyte can penetrate and ions can easily pass through.

[0182] Examples of the polyolefin separator include a film that electrically insulates the positive electrode and the negative electrode, such as a microporous polymer film, such as a porous polyolefin film, and is permeable to lithium ions. Specific examples of the porous polyolefin film include a porous polyethylene film alone, or a multilayer film formed by stacking a porous polyethylene film and a porous polypropylene film. Also included are films obtained by compounding a porous polyethylene film and a polypropylene film.

[0183] [Exterior body] In constructing a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the exterior body of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery may be, for example, a coin-shaped, cylindrical, or rectangular metal can or a laminate exterior body. Examples of metal can materials include nickel-plated steel plate, stainless steel plate, nickel-plated stainless steel plate, aluminum or its alloy, nickel, titanium, etc.

[0184] As the laminate exterior body, for example, an aluminum laminate film, a SUS laminate film, a silica-coated polypropylene, a polyethylene laminate film, or the like can be used.

[0185] The configuration of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to this embodiment is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a configuration in which an electrode element in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are arranged opposite each other and a nonaqueous electrolyte are enclosed in an exterior body. The shape of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery is not particularly limited, but an electrochemical device in a shape such as a coin shape, a cylindrical shape, a square shape, or an aluminum laminate sheet shape is assembled from the above-mentioned elements.
