In such a background, the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery using the electrolyte described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 has not yet been satisfactory in that the initial swelling increases.
Therefore, the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned various problems that appear in the required performance of secondary batteries in recent years, and particularly provides a non-aqueous electrolyte battery in which the initial swelling of the battery is improved, Another object of the present invention is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte suitable for the non-aqueous electrolyte battery.

As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the inventors have included a compound represented by the following general formula (1) in a non-aqueous electrolyte solution used in a non-aqueous electrolyte battery. The inventors have found that a non-aqueous electrolyte battery with improved initial swelling can be realized, and have completed the present invention.
That is, the gist of the present invention is as follows.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, regarding a lithium non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, it is excellent in performance, such as a rate characteristic and a high temperature storage characteristic, and can provide a battery with a good balance of comprehensive performance.
Action and principle that the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery manufactured using the non-aqueous electrolyte of the present invention and the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present invention become a secondary battery with a good balance of overall performance. Is not clear, but is considered as follows. However, the present invention is not limited to the operations and principles described below.

Since the compound represented by the general formula (1) has two or more phthalic anhydride skeletons in the molecule, the compound produced by the reduction becomes a polyvalent ionic compound, so that it dissolves in the electrolytic solution. It becomes difficult. At that time, since it has a benzene ring structure derived from a phthalic anhydride skeleton, a π-π interaction between benzene rings works, and further suppresses solubility in an electrolyte solution. As a result, the negative electrode protective film becomes stable and suppresses the decomposition of the electrolytic solution. In the compound represented by the general formula (1), a phthalic anhydride skeleton is linked via an organic group having a heteroelement having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. Therefore, the reduction product is polar and highly flexible. Therefore, when lithium ions are inserted into the negative electrode during charging, desolvation can be facilitated and decomposition of the solvent on the negative electrode surface can be effectively suppressed. For the above reasons, it is presumed that the generation of reducing gas due to solvent decomposition at the time of charging can be suppressed, which contributes to the improvement of the initial swelling.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be arbitrarily modified and implemented without departing from the gist of the present invention.
Here, “wt%”, “wt ppm”, and “parts by weight” are synonymous with “mass%”, “mass ppm”, and “mass parts”, respectively. Further, for example, when “ppm” is simply described, it means “mass ppm”.

<Physical properties of carbonaceous materials>
When using a carbonaceous material as a negative electrode active material, it is desirable to have the following physical properties.
(X-ray parameters)
The d-value (interlayer distance) of the lattice plane (002 plane) obtained by X-ray diffraction by the Gakushin method of carbonaceous materials is usually 0.335 nm or more, usually 0.360 nm or less, and 0.350 nm. The following is preferable, and 0.345 nm or less is more preferable. Further, the crystallite size (Lc) of the carbonaceous material obtained by X-ray diffraction by the Gakushin method is preferably 1.0 nm or more, and more preferably 1.5 nm or more.

(Volume-based average particle size)
The volume-based average particle diameter of the carbonaceous material is a volume-based average particle diameter (median diameter) obtained by a laser diffraction / scattering method, and is usually 1 μm or more, preferably 3 μm or more, more preferably 5 μm or more, and 7 μm. The above is particularly preferable, and is usually 100 μm or less, preferably 50 μm or less, more preferably 40 μm or less, further preferably 30 μm or less, and particularly preferably 25 μm or less.

If the volume-based average particle size is below the above range, the irreversible capacity may increase, leading to loss of initial battery capacity. On the other hand, when the above range is exceeded, when an electrode is produced by coating, an uneven coating surface tends to be formed, which may be undesirable in the battery production process.
The volume-based average particle size is measured by dispersing carbon powder in a 0.2% by weight aqueous solution (about 10 mL) of polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate, which is a surfactant, and laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution. This is performed using a meter (for example, LA-700 manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.). The median diameter determined by the measurement is defined as the volume-based average particle diameter of the carbonaceous material of the present invention.

(Raman R value)
The Raman R value of the carbonaceous material is a value measured using a laser Raman spectrum method, and is usually 0.01 or more, preferably 0.03 or more, more preferably 0.1 or more, and usually 1. 5 or less, preferably 1.2 or less, more preferably 1 or less, and particularly preferably 0.5 or less.

When the Raman R value is below the above range, the crystallinity of the particle surface becomes too high, and there are cases where the number of sites where Li enters between layers decreases with charge / discharge. That is, charge acceptance may be reduced. In addition, when the negative electrode is densified by applying it to the current collector and then pressing it, the crystals are likely to be oriented in a direction parallel to the electrode plate, which may lead to a decrease in load characteristics.
On the other hand, if it exceeds the above range, the crystallinity of the particle surface is lowered, the reactivity with the non-aqueous electrolyte is increased, and the efficiency may be lowered and the gas generation may be increased.

The Raman spectrum is measured by using a Raman spectrometer (for example, a Raman spectrometer manufactured by JASCO Corporation) to drop the sample naturally into the measurement cell and filling the sample cell with argon ion laser light (or a semiconductor). While irradiating a laser beam, the cell is rotated in a plane perpendicular to the laser beam. The resulting Raman spectrum, the intensity IA of a peak PA around 1580 cm ^-1, and measuring the intensity IB of the peak PB around 1360 cm ^-1, and calculates the intensity ratio R (R = IB / IA) . The Raman R value calculated by the measurement is defined as the Raman R value of the carbonaceous material of the present invention.

Moreover, said Raman measurement conditions are as follows.
・ Laser wavelength: Ar ion laser 514.5 nm (semiconductor laser 532 nm)
Measurement range: 1100 cm ^{−1 to} 1730 cm ⁻¹
-Raman R value: background processing,
-Smoothing processing: Simple average, 5 points of convolution

(BET specific surface area)
BET specific surface area of the carbonaceous material is a value of the measured specific surface area using the BET method is usually 0.1 m ² · ^{g -1} or more, 0.7 m ² · ^{g -1} or more, 1. 0 m ² · ^{g -1} or more, and particularly preferably 1.5 m ² · ^{g -1} or more, generally not more than 100 m ² · ^{g -1,} preferably ^{25 m} 2 · ^{g -1} or less, 15 m ² · g ^-1 more preferably less, ^{10 m} 2 · ^{g -1} or less are especially preferred.

  When the value of the BET specific surface area is less than this range, the acceptability of lithium is likely to deteriorate during charging when used as a negative electrode material, lithium is likely to precipitate on the electrode surface, and stability may be reduced. On the other hand, if it exceeds this range, when used as a negative electrode material, the reactivity with the non-aqueous electrolyte increases, gas generation tends to increase, and a preferable battery may be difficult to obtain.

  The specific surface area is measured by the BET method using a surface area meter (for example, a fully automated surface area measuring device manufactured by Okura Riken), preliminarily drying the sample at 350 ° C. for 15 minutes under nitrogen flow, Using a nitrogen helium mixed gas that is accurately adjusted so that the relative pressure value of nitrogen is 0.3, the nitrogen adsorption BET one-point method is performed by a gas flow method.

(Roundness)
When the circularity is measured as the degree of the sphere of the carbonaceous material, it is preferably within the following range. The circularity is defined as “circularity = (peripheral length of an equivalent circle having the same area as the particle projection shape) / (actual perimeter of the particle projection shape)”, and is theoretical when the circularity is 1. Become a true sphere.

  The circularity of the particles having a particle size of 3 to 40 μm in the range of the carbonaceous material is desirably closer to 1, and is preferably 0.1 or more, more preferably 0.5 or more, and more preferably 0.8 or more, 0.85 or more is more preferable, and 0.9 or more is particularly preferable. High current density charge / discharge characteristics improve as the degree of circularity increases. Therefore, when the circularity is less than the above range, the filling property of the negative electrode active material is lowered, the resistance between particles is increased, and the high current density charge / discharge characteristics may be lowered for a short time.

  The circularity is measured using a flow type particle image analyzer (for example, FPIA manufactured by Sysmex Corporation). About 0.2 g of a sample was dispersed in a 0.2% by mass aqueous solution (about 50 mL) of polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate as a surfactant, and irradiated with 28 kHz ultrasonic waves at an output of 60 W for 1 minute. The detection range is specified as 0.6 to 400 μm, and the particle size is measured in the range of 3 to 40 μm.

  The method for improving the circularity is not particularly limited, but a sphere-shaped sphere is preferable because the shape of the interparticle void when the electrode body is formed is preferable. Examples of spheroidizing treatment include a method of mechanically approaching a sphere by applying a shearing force and a compressive force, a mechanical / physical processing method of granulating a plurality of fine particles by the binder or the adhesive force of the particles themselves, etc. Is mentioned.

Particularly preferable, 2 g · cm ⁻³ or less is preferable, 1.8 g · cm ⁻³ or less is more preferable, and 1.6 g · cm ⁻³ or less is particularly preferable. When the tap density is below the above range, the packing density is difficult to increase when used as a negative electrode, and a high-capacity battery may not be obtained. On the other hand, when the above range is exceeded, there are too few voids between particles in the electrode, it is difficult to ensure conductivity between the particles, and it may be difficult to obtain preferable battery characteristics.

The tap density is measured by passing through a sieve having an opening of 300 μm, dropping the sample onto a 20 cm ³ tapping cell and filling the sample to the upper end surface of the cell, and then measuring a powder density measuring device (for example, manufactured by Seishin Enterprise Co., Ltd.). Using a tap denser, tapping with a stroke length of 10 mm is performed 1000 times, and the tap density is calculated from the volume at that time and the mass of the sample.

The orientation ratio of the carbonaceous material is usually 0.005 or more, preferably 0.01 or more, more preferably 0.015 or more, and usually 0.67 or less. When the orientation ratio is below the above range, the high-density charge / discharge characteristics may deteriorate. The upper limit of the above range is the theoretical upper limit value of the orientation ratio of the carbonaceous material.

The orientation ratio is measured by X-ray diffraction after pressure-molding the sample. Set the molding obtained by filling 0.47 g of the sample into a molding machine with a diameter of 17 mm and compressing it with 58.8 MN · m ^{-2 so} that it is flush with the surface of the sample holder for measurement. X-ray diffraction is measured. From the (110) diffraction and (004) diffraction peak intensities of the obtained carbon, a ratio represented by (110) diffraction peak intensity / (004) diffraction peak intensity is calculated.

The X-ray diffraction measurement conditions are as follows. “2θ” indicates a diffraction angle.

(Aspect ratio (powder))
The aspect ratio of the carbonaceous material is usually 1 or more and usually 10 or less, preferably 8 or less, and more preferably 5 or less. If the aspect ratio exceeds the above range, streaking or a uniform coated surface cannot be obtained when forming an electrode plate, and the high current density charge / discharge characteristics may deteriorate. The lower limit of the above range is the theoretical lower limit value of the aspect ratio of the carbonaceous material.

  The aspect ratio is measured by magnifying and observing the carbonaceous material particles with a scanning electron microscope. Carbonaceous material particles when three-dimensional observation is performed by selecting arbitrary 50 graphite particles fixed to the end face of a metal having a thickness of 50 μm or less and rotating and tilting the stage on which the sample is fixed. The longest diameter A and the shortest diameter B orthogonal thereto are measured, and the average value of A / B is obtained.

In addition, the content (coverage) of the carbide derived from the organic compound of the negative electrode active material finally obtained is the amount of the negative electrode active material, the amount of the organic compound, and the residual measured by a micro method in accordance with JIS K 2270. It can be calculated by the following formula based on the charcoal rate.

It is preferable that the specific surface area by the BET method of the metal particles that can be alloyed with Li is in the above-mentioned range since the charge / discharge efficiency and discharge capacity of the battery are high, lithium can be taken in and out quickly, and the rate characteristics are excellent.

-The amount of oxygen contained in metal particles that can be alloyed with Li The amount of oxygen contained in metal particles that can be alloyed with Li is not particularly limited, but is usually 0.01 to 8% by mass, 0.05 to 5% by mass.

  The negative electrode can be manufactured using any known method. Specifically, as a manufacturing method of the negative electrode, for example, a method in which a negative electrode active material added with a binder or a conductive material is roll-formed as it is to form a sheet electrode, or a compression-molded pellet electrode and The above negative electrode is usually applied to a negative electrode current collector (hereinafter also referred to as “negative electrode current collector”) by a method such as a coating method, a vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, or a plating method. A method of forming a thin film layer (negative electrode active material layer) containing an active material is used. In this case, by adding a binder, a thickener, a conductive material, a solvent, etc. to the above-mentioned negative electrode active material to form a slurry, applying this to the negative electrode current collector, drying, and pressing to increase the density A negative electrode active material layer is formed on the negative electrode current collector.

The thickness of the negative electrode current collector is usually 1 μm or more, preferably 5 μm or more, and is usually 100 μm or less, preferably 50 μm or less. If the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is too thick, the capacity of the entire battery may be too low, and conversely, if it is too thin, handling may be difficult.

  In addition, in order to improve the binding effect with the negative electrode active material layer formed on the surface, the surface of these negative electrode current collectors is preferably subjected to a roughening treatment in advance.

Further, when a negative electrode active material layer is formed on both surfaces of this type of negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode active material layer is further less likely to peel due to the rivet effect through the hole. However, when the aperture ratio becomes too high, the contact area between the negative electrode active material layer and the negative electrode current collector becomes small, and thus the adhesive strength may be lowered.

The slurry for forming the negative electrode active material layer is usually prepared by adding a binder, a thickener and the like to the negative electrode material. In addition, the “negative electrode material” in this specification refers to a material in which a negative electrode active material and a conductive material are combined.

When the content of the conductive material is too small, the conductivity tends to be insufficient. When the content is too large, the content of the negative electrode active material and the like is relatively insufficient, and thus the battery capacity and strength tend to decrease. Note that when two or more conductive materials are used in combination, the total amount of the conductive materials may satisfy the above range.

  As the binder used for the negative electrode, any material can be used as long as it is a material safe with respect to the solvent and the electrolytic solution used at the time of producing the electrode. Examples thereof include polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene / butadiene rubber / isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, ethylene / acrylic acid copolymer, and ethylene / methacrylic acid copolymer. These may be used individually by 1 type and may use 2 or more types together by arbitrary combinations and a ratio. It is preferable that the content of the binder is usually 0.5 parts by mass or more, particularly 1 part by mass or more, and usually 10 parts by mass or less, particularly 8 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the negative electrode material. When the content of the binder is too small, the strength of the obtained negative electrode tends to be insufficient. When the content is too large, the content of the negative electrode active material and the like is relatively insufficient, and thus the battery capacity and conductivity tend to be insufficient. It becomes. In addition, when using two or more binders together, what is necessary is just to make it the total amount of a binder satisfy | fill the said range.

  Examples of the thickener used for the negative electrode include carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, oxidized starch, phosphorylated starch, and casein. These may be used individually by 1 type and may use 2 or more types together by arbitrary combinations and a ratio. The thickener may be used as necessary, but when used, the thickener content in the negative electrode active material layer is usually in the range of 0.5% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less. Is preferred.

The slurry for forming the negative electrode active material layer is prepared by mixing a conductive agent, a binder, and a thickener as necessary with the negative electrode active material, and using an aqueous solvent or an organic solvent as a dispersion medium. The As the aqueous solvent, water is usually used, and an organic solvent such as alcohols such as ethanol and cyclic amides such as N-methylpyrrolidone is used in combination within a range of 30% by mass or less with respect to water. You can also. As the organic solvent, usually, cyclic amides such as N-methylpyrrolidone, linear amides such as N, N-dimethylformamide and N, N-dimethylacetamide, and aromatic carbonization such as anisole, toluene and xylene Examples thereof include alcohols such as hydrogens, butanol and cyclohexanol, among which cyclic amides such as N-methylpyrrolidone, linear amides such as N, N-dimethylformamide and N, N-dimethylacetamide are preferable. . Any one of these may be used alone, or two or more may be used in any combination and ratio.

Can do.

In the case of using an alloy-based material, a method of forming a thin film layer (negative electrode active material layer) containing the above-described negative electrode active material by a technique such as vapor deposition, sputtering, or plating is also used.

When the density of the negative electrode active material existing on the current collector exceeds the above range, the negative electrode active material particles are destroyed, and the initial irreversible capacity increases or non-aqueous system near the current collector / negative electrode active material interface. There is a case where high current density charge / discharge characteristics are deteriorated due to a decrease in permeability of the electrolytic solution. On the other hand, if the amount is less than the above range, the conductivity between the negative electrode active materials decreases, the battery resistance increases, and the capacity per unit volume may decrease.

On the other hand, if it is thicker than the above range, the handleability may be impaired.
The binder used in the production of the positive electrode active material layer is not particularly limited, and in the case of a coating method, any material that is stable with respect to the liquid medium used during electrode production may be used. Specific examples include polyethylene, Resin polymers such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polymethyl methacrylate, aromatic polyamide, cellulose, nitrocellulose, SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), NBR (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber), fluorine rubber, isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, ethylene・ Rubber polymers such as propylene rubber, styrene / butadiene / styrene block copolymers and hydrogenated products thereof, EPDM (ethylene / propylene / diene terpolymers), styrene / ethylene / butadiene / ethylene copolymers, Styrene / isoprene styrene bromide Copolymer and its hydrogenated thermoplastic elastomeric polymer, syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene, polyvinyl acetate, ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer, propylene / α-olefin copolymer, etc. Fluorine polymers such as soft resinous polymers, polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, fluorinated polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene / ethylene copolymers, ion conductivity of alkali metal ions (especially lithium ions) And a polymer composition having the same. In addition, these substances may be used individually by 1 type, and may use 2 or more types together by arbitrary combinations and ratios.

The ratio of the binder in the positive electrode active material layer is usually 0.1% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less. If the proportion of the binder is too low, the positive electrode active material cannot be sufficiently retained and the positive electrode has insufficient mechanical strength, which may deteriorate battery performance such as cycle characteristics. Battery capacity and conductivity may be reduced.
The positive electrode active material layer usually contains a conductive material in order to increase conductivity. There are no particular restrictions on the type, but specific examples include metal materials such as copper and nickel, graphite such as natural graphite and artificial graphite, carbon black such as acetylene black, and amorphous carbon such as needle coke. The carbon material etc. of this can be mentioned. In addition, these substances may be used individually by 1 type, and may use 2 or more types together by arbitrary combinations and ratios. The proportion of the conductive material in the positive electrode active material layer is usually 0.01% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less. If the proportion of the conductive material is too low, the conductivity may be insufficient, and conversely if it is too high, the battery capacity may be reduced.

  As a liquid medium for forming a slurry, it is possible to dissolve or disperse a lithium transition metal compound powder as a positive electrode material, a binder, and a conductive material and a thickener used as necessary. If it is a solvent, there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the kind, You may use either an aqueous solvent or an organic solvent. Examples of the aqueous solvent include water, alcohol and the like, and examples of the organic solvent include N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, methyl acetate, methyl acrylate, diethyltriamine, N , N-dimethylaminopropylamine, ethylene oxide, tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene, acetone, dimethyl ether, dimethylacetamide, hexamethylphosphalamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, benzene, xylene, quinoline, pyridine, methylnaphthalene, hexane, etc. be able to.

In addition, these solvents may be used individually by 1 type, and may use 2 or more types together by arbitrary combinations and a ratio.

The content ratio of the lithium transition metal-based compound powder as the positive electrode material in the positive electrode active material layer is usually 10% by mass or more and 99.9% by mass or less. If the proportion of the lithium transition metal compound powder in the positive electrode active material layer is too large, the strength of the positive electrode tends to be insufficient, and if it is too small, the capacity may be insufficient.
The thickness of the positive electrode active material layer is usually about 10 to 200 μm.

The electrode density after pressing the positive electrode is usually 2.2 g / cm ³ or more and 4.2 g / cm ³ or less.
The positive electrode active material layer obtained by coating and drying is preferably consolidated by a roller press or the like in order to increase the packing density of the positive electrode active material.
Thus, a positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery can be prepared.

2-3. Separator Normally, a separator is interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode in order to prevent a short circuit. In this case, the nonaqueous electrolytic solution of the present invention is usually used by impregnating the separator.
The material and shape of the separator are not particularly limited, and known ones can be arbitrarily adopted as long as the effects of the present invention are not significantly impaired. Among them, a resin, glass fiber, inorganic material, etc. formed of a material that is stable with respect to the non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the present invention is used, and a porous sheet or a nonwoven fabric-like material having excellent liquid retention properties is used. Is preferred.

  As materials for the resin and glass fiber separator, for example, polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, aromatic polyamides, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethersulfone, glass filters and the like can be used. Of these, glass filters and polyolefins are preferred, and polyolefins are more preferred. These materials may be used individually by 1 type, and may use 2 or more types together by arbitrary combinations and a ratio.

  The thickness of the separator is arbitrary, but is usually 1 μm or more, preferably 5 μm or more, more preferably 10 μm or more, and usually 50 μm or less, preferably 40 μm or less, more preferably 30 μm or less. If the separator is too thin than the above range, the insulating properties and mechanical strength may decrease. On the other hand, if it is thicker than the above range, not only the battery performance such as the rate characteristic may be lowered, but also the energy density of the whole non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery may be lowered.

Furthermore, when using a porous material such as a porous sheet or nonwoven fabric as the separator, the porosity of the separator is arbitrary, but is usually 20% or more, preferably 35% or more, more preferably 45% or more, Further, it is usually 90% or less, preferably 85% or less, and more preferably 75% or less. If the porosity is too smaller than the above range, the membrane resistance tends to increase and the rate characteristics tend to deteriorate. Moreover, when larger than the said range, it exists in the tendency for the mechanical strength of a separator to fall and for insulation to fall.
Moreover, although the average pore diameter of a separator is also arbitrary, it is 0.5 micrometer or less normally, 0.2 micrometer or less is preferable, and it is 0.05 micrometer or more normally. If the average pore diameter exceeds the above range, a short circuit tends to occur. On the other hand, below the above range, the film resistance may increase and the rate characteristics may deteriorate.

On the other hand, as inorganic materials, for example, oxides such as alumina and silicon dioxide, nitrides such as aluminum nitride and silicon nitride, and sulfates such as barium sulfate and calcium sulfate are used. Used.
As the form, a thin film shape such as a non-woven fabric, a woven fabric, or a microporous film is used. In the thin film shape, those having a pore diameter of 0.01 to 1 μm and a thickness of 5 to 50 μm are preferably used. In addition to the above-described independent thin film shape, a separator formed by forming a composite porous layer containing the inorganic particles on the surface layer of the positive electrode and / or the negative electrode using a resin binder can be used. For example, a porous layer may be formed by using alumina particles having a 90% particle size of less than 1 μm on both surfaces of the positive electrode and using a fluororesin as a binder.

  The characteristics of the separator in the non-electrolyte secondary battery can be grasped by the Gurley value. The Gurley value indicates the difficulty of air passage in the film thickness direction, and is expressed as the number of seconds required for 100 ml of air to pass through the film. It means that it is harder to go through. That is, a smaller value means better communication in the thickness direction of the film, and a larger value means lower communication in the thickness direction of the film. Communication is the degree of connection of holes in the film thickness direction. If the Gurley value of the separator of the present invention is low, it can be used for various purposes. For example, when used as a separator for a non-aqueous lithium secondary battery, a low Gurley value means that lithium ions can be easily transferred and is preferable because of excellent battery performance. Although the Gurley value of a separator is arbitrary, Preferably it is 10-1000 second / 100ml, More preferably, it is 15-800 second / 100ml, More preferably, it is 20-500 second / 100ml. If the Gurley value is 1000 seconds / 100 ml or less, the electrical resistance is substantially low, which is preferable as a separator.

2-4. Battery design <Electrode group>
The electrode group has a laminated structure in which the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are interposed through the separator, and a structure in which the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are wound in a spiral shape through the separator. Either is acceptable. The ratio of the volume of the electrode group to the internal volume of the battery (hereinafter referred to as the electrode group occupation ratio) is usually 40% or more, preferably 50% or more, and usually 90% or less, preferably 80% or less. .

  When the electrode group occupancy is below the above range, the battery capacity decreases. In addition, if the above range is exceeded, there is less void space, the battery expands, and the member expands or the vapor pressure of the liquid component of the electrolyte increases and the internal pressure rises, and the charge / discharge cycle performance as a battery In some cases, the gas release valve that lowers various characteristics such as storage at high temperature and the like, or releases the internal pressure to the outside is activated.

From the viewpoint of weight reduction, an aluminum or aluminum alloy metal or a laminate film is preferably used.

  In an exterior case using metals, the metal is welded together by laser welding, resistance welding, or ultrasonic welding to form a sealed sealed structure, or a caulking structure using the above metals via a resin gasket. Things. Examples of the outer case using the laminate film include a case where a resin-sealed structure is formed by heat-sealing resin layers. In order to improve sealing performance, a resin different from the resin used for the laminate film may be interposed between the resin layers. In particular, when a resin layer is heat-sealed through a current collecting terminal to form a sealed structure, a metal and a resin are joined, so that a resin having a polar group or a modified group having a polar group introduced as an intervening resin is used. Resins are preferably used.

<Protective element>
Protection elements such as PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient), thermal fuse, thermistor, which increases resistance when abnormal heat is generated or excessive current flows, shuts off current flowing through the circuit due to sudden increase in battery internal pressure or internal temperature during abnormal heat generation A valve (current cutoff valve) or the like can be used. It is preferable to select a protective element that does not operate under normal use at a high current, and it is more preferable that the protective element is designed so as not to cause abnormal heat generation or thermal runaway even without the protective element.
