[0107] [ka]
[0108] <Preparation of lithium secondary battery precursors> A laminate-type battery precursor was obtained as a lithium secondary battery precursor. Details are shown below.
[0109] (Preparing the positive electrode) Li(Ni) is used as the positive electrode active material. 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 A mixture was obtained by adding 94% by mass of O2, carbon black (3% by mass) as a conductive additive, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) (3% by mass) as a binder. The obtained mixture was dispersed in N-methylpyrrolidone solvent to obtain a cathode composite slurry. A 20 μm thick aluminum foil was prepared as the positive electrode current collector. The obtained positive electrode slurry was applied to aluminum foil (positive electrode current collector), dried, and then rolled in a press to obtain a positive electrode base roll. This positive electrode base roll includes a region where the positive electrode active material layer (hereinafter referred to as the "positive electrode layer") is formed, and a region where the positive electrode layer is not formed (hereinafter referred to as the "uncoated portion for tab bonding"). The uncoated portion for tab bonding is an uncoated portion that serves as a margin. The obtained positive electrode raw material was slit to obtain a positive electrode. The positive electrode includes a region where a positive electrode composite layer is formed and an uncoated portion for tab bonding. In the resulting positive electrode, the area where the positive electrode composite layer was formed measured 29 mm in width and 40 mm in length. The uncoated area for tab bonding measured 5 mm in width and 11 mm in length.
[0110] (Preparing the negative electrode) A negative electrode slurry was obtained by mixing graphite (96% by mass) as the negative electrode active material, carbon black (1% by mass) as a conductive additive, carboxymethylcellulose sodium dispersed in pure water as a thickener (1% by mass in solid content), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) dispersed in pure water as a binder (2% by mass in solid content). A 10 μm thick copper foil was prepared as the negative electrode current collector. The obtained negative electrode slurry was applied to copper foil (negative electrode current collector), dried, and then rolled in a press to obtain a negative electrode base roll. This negative electrode base roll includes a region where the negative electrode active material layer (hereinafter referred to as the "negative electrode layer") is formed and a region where the negative electrode layer is not formed (hereinafter referred to as the "uncoated area for tab bonding"). The uncoated area for tab bonding is an uncoated area that serves as a margin. The obtained negative electrode material was slit to obtain the negative electrode. The negative electrode includes a region where a negative electrode composite layer is formed and an uncoated portion for tab bonding. In the obtained negative electrode, the negative electrode composite layer had a width of 30 mm and a length of 41 mm. The uncoated area for tab bonding had a width of 5 mm and a length of 11 mm.
[0111] (Preparation of non-aqueous electrolyte) The non-aqueous electrolyte obtained from the production of the non-aqueous electrolyte described above was prepared.
[0112] (Preparation of laminate-type battery precursors) A porous polypropylene film was prepared as a separator. A laminate was obtained by stacking a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator in a configuration where the coated surface of the negative electrode was in contact with the separator, and the coated surface of the positive electrode was in contact with the separator. An aluminum positive electrode tab (positive electrode lead) was bonded to the uncoated portion of the positive electrode of the resulting laminate using an ultrasonic bonding machine. A nickel negative electrode tab (negative electrode lead) was then bonded to the uncoated portion of the negative electrode of the same laminate using an ultrasonic bonding machine. A laminate, to which positive and negative electrode tabs are joined, is sandwiched between a pair of laminate films (cases) in which both sides of aluminum are coated with resin layers. Then, three sides are heat-sealed to obtain a laminate body (assembly). At this time, the positive and negative electrode tabs protrude from one of the three sealed sides of the laminate body that is in contact with an unsealed opening.
[0113] 0.25 mL of the non-aqueous electrolyte was injected through the opening of the laminate, and the opening of the laminate was sealed. Based on the above, a laminate-type battery precursor for lithium secondary batteries was obtained.
[0114] <Manufacturing of lithium secondary batteries> A lithium secondary battery was obtained by subjecting the above laminate-type battery precursor (electrochemical device battery precursor) to the following processes in order: charging from 1.5V to 4.2V, holding for 5 to 50 hours, charging to 4.2V, and discharging to 2.5V, all within a temperature range of 25°C to 70°C.
[0115] <Initial charge / discharge process> The lithium secondary batteries obtained as described above were subjected to the following processes in a temperature environment of 25°C: charging to 4.2V, discharging to 2.5V, and then charging again to 4.2V.
[0116] <Evaluation of resistance after high-temperature storage> Next, the lithium secondary batteries, after initial charge-discharge treatment, were stored in a 60°C environment for 28 days. (Hereinafter referred to as "high-temperature storage"). For lithium secondary batteries stored at high temperatures, discharge to 2.5V and charge to 3.7V were performed in that order at a temperature of 25°C. Then, the batteries were cooled to -10°C, and at a temperature of -10°C, the DC resistance [Ω] as the resistance value after storage was measured based on the voltage drop (= voltage before discharge - voltage 10 seconds after discharge) and the current value (i.e., the current value corresponding to the discharge rates of 0.1C to 0.6C) for each discharge rate of 0.1C to 0.6C, resulting from a "CC10s discharge". Similarly, the post-storage resistance of the lithium secondary battery was measured for Comparative Example 1, described later. Based on the above results, the resistance value (relative value) of the post-storage resistance of Example 1 was determined when the post-storage resistance of Comparative Example 1 was set to 100, and this was referred to as "Post-storage resistance (relative value)". The obtained "resistance after storage (relative value)" is shown in Table 1.
[0117] [Examples 2 to 4] The same procedure as in Example 1 was followed, except that the type and amount of additive A were changed as shown in Table 1. The results are shown in Table 1. Additive A in Examples 2 to 4 is as follows:
[0118] [ka]
[0119] [Comparative Example 1] The same procedure as in Example 1 was followed, except that the non-aqueous electrolyte did not contain additive A. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0120] [Comparative Example 2] The same procedure as in Example 1 was followed, except that additive A was replaced with the same mass of vinylene carbonate (hereinafter referred to as "VC"). The results are shown in Table 1.
[0121] [Table 1]

Compared to Examples 1-4, Comparative Example 1, in which the non-aqueous electrolyte did not contain additive A, and Comparative Example 2, in which the non-aqueous electrolyte contained vinylene carbonate (VC) instead of additive A, showed higher resistance after high-temperature storage.
