Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電池のサイクル特性や電気容量、保存特性などの電池特性に優れた新規な非水電解液、及びそれを用いたリチウム二次電池に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、リチウム二次電池は小型電子機器などの駆動用電源として広く使用されている。リチウム二次電池は、主に正極、非水電解液および負極から構成されており、特に、LiCoO2などのリチウム複合酸化物を正極とし、炭素材料又はリチウム金属を負極としたリチウム二次電池が好適に使用されている。そして、そのリチウム二次電池用の電解液としては、エチレンカーボネート(EC)、プロピレンカーボネート(PC)などのカーボネート類が好適に使用されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、電池のサイクル特性および電気容量などの電池特性について、さらに優れた特性を有する二次電池が求められている。
負極として例えば天然黒鉛や人造黒鉛などの高結晶化した炭素材料を用いたリチウム二次電池は、電解液が負極で分解して不可逆容量が増大したり、場合によっては炭素材料の剥離が起こることがある。この不可逆容量の増大や炭素材料の剥離は、電解液中の溶媒が充電時に分解することにより起こるものであり、炭素材料と電解液との界面における溶媒の電気化学的還元に起因するものである。中でも、融点が低く誘電率の高いPCは、低温においても高い電気伝導性を有するが、黒鉛負極を用いる場合にはPCの分解が起こってリチウム二次電池用には使用できないという問題点があった。また、ECも充放電を繰り返す間に一部分解が起こり、電池性能の低下が生じる。このため、電池のサイクル特性および電気容量などの電池特性は必ずしも満足なものではないのが現状である。
【0004】
本発明は、前記のようなリチウム二次電池用電解液に関する課題を解決し、電池のサイクル特性に優れ、さらに電気容量や充電状態での保存特性などの電池特性にも優れた非水電解液、およびそれを用いたリチウム二次電池を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、非水溶媒に電解質が溶解されている非水電解液において、該非水電解液中に下記一般式(I)
【0006】
【化3】

Figure 0004320914
(式中、Xは、側鎖として少なくとも1つの炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を有し、主鎖が炭素数2〜6であるアルキレン基を示す。また、Rは、炭素数1〜6のアルキル基を示す。)で表されるジスルホン酸エステル誘導体が含有されていることを特徴とする非水電解液に関する。
【0007】
また、本発明は、正極、負極および非水溶媒に電解質が溶解されている非水電解液からなるリチウム二次電池において、該非水電解液中に下記一般式(I)
【0008】
【化4】
Figure 0004320914
(式中、Xは、側鎖として少なくとも1つの炭素数1〜4のアルキル基を有し、主鎖が炭素数2〜6であるアルキレン基を示す。また、Rは、炭素数1〜6のアルキル基を示す。)で表されるジスルホン酸エステル誘導体が含有されていることを特徴とするリチウム二次電池に関する。
【0009】
電解液中に含有される前記一般式(I)で表されるジスルホン酸エステル誘導体は、充電の際に、負極である炭素材料表面で一部還元され、不働態皮膜を形成する役割を有する。このように、天然黒鉛や人造黒鉛などの活性で高結晶化した炭素材料を不働態皮膜で被覆することにより、電解液の分解が抑制され、電池の可逆性を損なうことなく正常な充放電が繰り返されるものと考えられる。
【0010】

なお、前記一般式(I)における2つのRは、同一であってもよく、異なっていてもよいが、合成の容易さから同一のRを有するジスルホン酸エステル誘導体が好適に使用される。
【0012】
前記一般式(I)で表されるジスルホン酸エステル誘導体の含有量は、過度に多いと、電解液の伝導度などが変わり、電池性能が低下することがあり、また、過度に少ないと、十分な皮膜が形成されず期待した電池性能が得られないので、電解液の重量に対して0.01〜50重量%、特に0.1〜20重量%の範囲が好ましい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel non-aqueous electrolyte excellent in battery characteristics such as battery cycle characteristics, electric capacity, and storage characteristics, and a lithium secondary battery using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, lithium secondary batteries have been widely used as driving power sources for small electronic devices and the like. A lithium secondary battery is mainly composed of a positive electrode, a non-aqueous electrolyte, and a negative electrode. In particular, a lithium secondary battery using a lithium composite oxide such as LiCoO 2 as a positive electrode and a carbon material or lithium metal as a negative electrode is used. It is preferably used. As the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery, carbonates such as ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) are preferably used.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, there is a demand for a secondary battery having more excellent battery characteristics such as battery cycle characteristics and electric capacity.
Lithium secondary batteries that use highly crystallized carbon materials, such as natural graphite and artificial graphite, as the negative electrode may cause irreversible capacity to increase due to the electrolyte being decomposed at the negative electrode, and in some cases, the carbon material may peel off. There is. This increase in irreversible capacity and carbon material peeling are caused by decomposition of the solvent in the electrolyte during charging, and are caused by electrochemical reduction of the solvent at the interface between the carbon material and the electrolyte. . Among them, PC having a low melting point and a high dielectric constant has high electrical conductivity even at a low temperature. However, when a graphite negative electrode is used, the PC is decomposed and cannot be used for a lithium secondary battery. It was. Moreover, EC also partially decomposes during repeated charging and discharging, resulting in a decrease in battery performance. For this reason, at present, battery characteristics such as battery cycle characteristics and electric capacity are not always satisfactory.
[0004]
The present invention solves the above-described problems relating to the electrolyte for lithium secondary batteries, and is excellent in battery cycle characteristics, and also in battery characteristics such as electric capacity and storage characteristics in a charged state. And a lithium secondary battery using the same.

[0007]
The present invention also provides a lithium secondary battery comprising a non-aqueous electrolyte in which an electrolyte is dissolved in a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a non-aqueous solvent.

(In the formula, X represents an alkylene group having at least one alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms as a side chain and a main chain having 2 to 6 carbon atoms. Also, R represents 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery characterized in that it contains a disulfonic acid ester derivative represented by:
[0009]
The disulfonic acid ester derivative represented by the general formula (I) contained in the electrolytic solution has a role of forming a passive film by being partially reduced on the surface of the carbon material as the negative electrode during charging. Thus, by covering the active and highly crystallized carbon material such as natural graphite or artificial graphite with a passive film, the decomposition of the electrolyte is suppressed, and normal charge and discharge can be performed without impairing the reversibility of the battery. It is considered to be repeated.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

At this time, the branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms may be linear or branched such as isopropyl group, isobutyl group, and isopentyl group. R is preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group, a pentyl group or a hexyl group.

In addition, although two R in the said general formula (I) may be the same and may differ, the disulfonic acid ester derivative which has the same R from the ease of a synthesis | combination is used suitably.
[0012]
If the content of the disulfonic acid ester derivative represented by the general formula (I) is excessively large, the conductivity of the electrolytic solution may be changed, and the battery performance may be deteriorated.

It was applied to. Then, this was dried, pressure-molded, and heat-treated to prepare a negative electrode. And using the separator of a polypropylene microporous film, said electrolyte solution was inject | poured and the coin battery (diameter 20mm, thickness 3.2mm) was produced.
Using this coin battery, it was charged at a constant current constant voltage of 0.8 mA at room temperature (20 ° C.) for 5 hours to a final voltage of 4.2 V, and then at a constant current of 0.8 mA, a final voltage of 2.7 V. This charge and discharge was repeated. The initial charge / discharge capacity is almost the same as when 1M LiPF 6 + EC: PC: DEC (capacity ratio) = 2: 1: 7 was used as the electrolyte (without additive) (Comparative Example 1), and after 50 cycles When the battery characteristics were measured, the discharge capacity retention rate was 92.2% when the initial discharge capacity was 100%.
