Description

  The present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte, an electrolyte for a lithium ion secondary battery, and a non-aqueous electrolyte battery including the non-aqueous electrolyte or the electrolyte for a lithium ion secondary battery.

  With the recent development of electronic technology and increasing interest in environmental technology, various electrochemical devices have been developed. In particular, there is a strong demand for the development of electrochemical devices for the purpose of energy saving, and expectations for electrochemical devices that can contribute to energy saving are increasing. Examples of such electrochemical devices include solar cells as power generation devices, and secondary batteries, capacitors, capacitors, and the like as power storage devices. Lithium ion secondary batteries, which are representative examples of power storage devices, have been conventionally used mainly as rechargeable batteries for portable devices, but in recent years, they are also expected to be used as batteries for hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles.

A lithium ion secondary battery generally has a configuration in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode mainly composed of an active material capable of inserting and extracting lithium are arranged via a separator. The positive electrode of the lithium ion secondary battery includes LiCoO ₂ , LiNiO ₂ or LiMn ₂ O ₄ as a positive electrode active material, carbon black or graphite as a conductive agent, and polyvinylidene fluoride, latex or rubber as a binder. Are mixed with a positive electrode current collector made of aluminum or the like. The negative electrode is a negative electrode current collector made of copper or the like mixed with a negative electrode mixture in which coke or graphite as a negative electrode active material and polyvinylidene fluoride, latex, rubber, or the like as a binder are mixed. Formed. Further, the separator is made of porous polyolefin or the like, and its thickness is very thin, from several μm to several hundred μm. The positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator are immersed in the electrolytic solution in the battery. Examples of the electrolytic solution include an electrolytic solution in which a lithium salt such as LiPF ₆ or LiBF ₄ is dissolved in an aprotic solvent such as propylene carbonate or ethylene carbonate, or a polymer such as polyethylene oxide.

  Currently, lithium ion secondary batteries are mainly used as batteries for portable devices and the like. In recent years, it has also begun to be used as a battery for automobiles such as hybrid cars and electric cars, and the use and market of lithium ion secondary batteries tend to further expand.

  As a component of such a non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium ion secondary battery, a fluorine-containing carbonate compound typified by 4-fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one or an unsaturated bond typified by vinylene carbonate Containing carbonate compounds are widely used. These compounds contribute to the interface control of the electrode and are very useful as materials that can suppress redox decomposition of the electrolytic solution.

  The electrode interface control ability (hereinafter also referred to as “SEI formation ability”) is a performance required for all lithium ion batteries. In general, the decomposition product of non-aqueous electrolyte called Solid Electrolyte Interface (SEI) plays a role as a protective film on the negative electrode surface of the battery, and the fluorine-containing carbonate compound and unsaturated bond carbonate compound are excellent SEI forming agents. As widely used. When good SEI is formed, reductive decomposition of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution can be suppressed, and charging / discharging of the battery can be performed stably. It has been reported that a non-aqueous electrolyte using a fluorine-containing carbonate compound or an unsaturated bond-containing carbonate compound as a constituent component can form such SEI (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). Recently, the concept of SEI has also been extended to the positive electrode surface.

  Here, it has recently been found that the unsaturated bond carbonate compound contains a trace amount of an organic chlorine compound, and the content of the organic chlorine compound affects the characteristics of the battery. In particular, the influence of organochlorine compounds is greater as the battery is used in a battery using an electrode coated with an active material at a high density or when the battery is driven in a harsh environment such as a high voltage or high temperature. Therefore, in recent years, methods for controlling the amount of the organic chlorine compound in the unsaturated bond-containing carbonate compound have been found (see, for example, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, and Patent Document 5).

  Lithium-ion secondary battery demands for high-energy density batteries that enable long-term use of smart phones and long-distance driving of electric vehicles are required for this purpose. One of the useful approaches is to achieve a high voltage battery using a positive electrode. However, when a conventional non-aqueous electrolyte is used under a high voltage, the non-aqueous electrolyte is oxidized and decomposed, resulting in significant battery deterioration. Various electrolytic solutions in which deterioration is suppressed have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 6 and Patent Document 7), but few have reached a practical level.

  On the other hand, it has recently been found that a silicon-containing compound is very useful for suppressing the decomposition of the non-aqueous electrolyte in a battery driven at a high voltage (see, for example, Patent Document 8 and Patent Document 9). It has been considered that a silicon-containing compound and / or a residue of a silicon-containing functional group exhibits an excellent SEI forming ability with respect to the positive electrode. Use of such a silicon-containing compound is promising because the driving voltage can be significantly increased.

  As described above, unsaturated bond-containing carbonate compounds with controlled organochlorine compound content are known to exhibit good battery characteristics under a wide range of charge / discharge conditions, and silicon-containing compounds are high-voltage-driven batteries. It is known to show good battery characteristics. However, when any compound is used in a small amount as an additive, the withstand voltage characteristic is not perfect, and a decrease in performance may be observed with a long charge / discharge cycle. In addition, when used in a large amount as a solvent, problems such as insufficient ionic conductivity, generation of a large amount of gas components based on side reactions, and reduced handling properties may occur.

It is very effective to perform the first charge in consideration of such an electrochemical reaction.
Gas may be generated in the battery during the first charge / discharge or the initial several times of charge / discharge. Therefore, it is also useful to go through a process of removing gas after the initial charge / discharge is completed.

  The non-aqueous secondary battery of this embodiment can also be used in series or in parallel. In addition, from a viewpoint of managing the charge / discharge state of the battery pack, the working voltage range is preferably 2 to 5.5V, and more preferably 2.5 to 5.0V. In the non-aqueous secondary battery of this embodiment, the upper limit voltage is preferably 4.2 V or more, and more preferably 4.3 V or more, from the viewpoints of handling and increasing the capacity. The upper limit of the upper limit voltage is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5.5 V or less. In addition, when used at 4.2 V or higher, there are usually problems such as decomposition of the electrolyte, generation of acid, and increase of metal elution from the positive electrode material. As a result, the amount of lithium contributing to gas generation and charge / discharge is reduced, and the battery characteristics are deteriorated. In the conventional product (using 4.2 V or less), the above problems are few and there is no problem in practical use. However, the condition becomes severer as the working voltage is increased, and the battery characteristics tend to decrease significantly. In this regard, the above problem can be solved or suppressed with a non-aqueous secondary battery using the non-aqueous electrolyte according to the present embodiment.
