[1] Electrolytic Solution The electrolytic solution in the present embodiment includes the compound of the present embodiment represented by the formula (1).

  The compound of this embodiment forms a SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interface) film on the electrode surface, and as a result, can suppress decomposition of the solvent in the electrolytic solution. That is, the compound of this embodiment undergoes reductive decomposition at the negative electrode to form a film on the negative electrode. Since this film has a carbonyl group and a sulfonyl group and is excellent in ionic conductivity, it can suppress decomposition of the solvent in the electrolytic solution, and as a result, it can suppress a decrease in capacity maintenance rate and gas generation. It is considered a thing. The above mechanism and theory are speculations and do not limit the present invention.

  Although content in the electrolyte solution of the compound of this embodiment is not specifically limited, It is preferable that it is 0.1-10 mass%, and it is more preferable that it is 0.3-8.0 mass%. Preferably, it is 1.0-5.0 mass%. When content of the compound of this embodiment is 0.1 mass% or more, a film | membrane can be effectively formed in an electrode and the decomposition | disassembly of a nonaqueous solvent can be suppressed effectively as a result. Moreover, when content of the compound of this embodiment is 10 mass% or less, the raise of the internal resistance of a battery by the excessive growth of a SEI film | membrane can be suppressed effectively.

  The electrolytic solution includes, for example, a supporting salt and a nonaqueous solvent in addition to the compound of the present embodiment.

As the supporting salt, and it is not particularly present invention is limited, for _{example, LiPF 6, LiAsF 6, LiAlCl} 4, LiClO 4, LiBF 4, LiSbF 6, LiCF 3 SO 3, LiC 4 F 9 SO 3, Li Examples thereof include lithium salts such as (CF ₃ SO ₂ ) ₂ and LiN (CF ₃ SO ₂ ) ₂ . The supporting salt can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The concentration of the supporting salt in the electrolytic solution is preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mol / l. By setting the concentration of the supporting salt within this range, it becomes easy to adjust the density, viscosity, electrical conductivity, and the like to an appropriate range.

  As the non-aqueous solvent, the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, carbonates such as cyclic carbonates and chain carbonates, aliphatic carboxylic acid esters, γ-lactones, cyclic ethers, chains And ethers thereof, fluorine derivatives thereof and the like. These can be used individually by 1 type or in combination of 2 or more types.

  Examples of the cyclic carbonates include propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene carbonate (EC), butylene carbonate (BC), vinylene carbonate (VC), and the like.

  Examples of chain carbonates include dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and dipropyl carbonate (DPC).

  Examples of the aliphatic carboxylic acid esters include methyl formate, methyl acetate, and ethyl propionate.

  Examples of γ-lactones include γ-butyrolactone.

These can be used individually by 1 type or in combination of 2 or more types.

The non-aqueous solvent preferably contains carbonates. The carbonates include cyclic carbonates or chain carbonates. Since carbonates have a large relative dielectric constant, the ion dissociation property of the electrolytic solution is improved, and further, the viscosity of the electrolytic solution is lowered, so that the ion mobility is improved. However, when carbonates having a carbonate structure are used as the non-aqueous solvent for the electrolytic solution, the carbonates tend to decompose and generate gas containing CO ₂ . In particular, in the case of a laminated laminate type secondary battery, when gas is generated inside the battery, the problem of blistering appears prominently and tends to lead to performance degradation. Therefore, in this embodiment, by adding the compound of this embodiment to a non-aqueous solvent containing carbonates, the SEI film formed by the compound of this embodiment suppresses the decomposition of carbonates, Occurrence can be suppressed. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is preferable that electrolyte solution contains carbonates as a nonaqueous solvent in addition to the compound of this embodiment. With such a configuration, even when carbonates are used as a non-aqueous solvent, gas generation can be reduced, and a secondary battery having high performance can be provided. The content of carbonates in the electrolytic solution is, for example, 30% by mass or more, preferably 50% by mass or more, and more preferably 70% by mass or more.

  It is preferable that the LUMO value of the compound of this embodiment is smaller than the LUMO value of the solvent used for electrolyte solution. Common solvents include EC (1.18 eV), DEC (1.26 eV), PC (1.24 eV), and the like. The LUMO value of the compound of this embodiment is preferably 0 or less, and more preferably −0.5 or less. Thereby, the compound of this embodiment can be reduced and decomposed before the solvent in the electrolytic solution to form a film on the negative electrode, and the decomposition of the solvent can be suppressed. The LUMO value can be calculated by molecular orbital calculation using, for example, MOPAC (Molecular Orbital PACage).

[4] Separator The separator is not particularly limited. For example, a porous film such as polypropylene or polyethylene or a nonwoven fabric can be used. Moreover, as a separator, the ceramic coat separator which formed the coating containing a ceramic in the polymer base material used as a separator can also be used. Moreover, what laminated | stacked them can also be used as a separator.

[5] Exterior Body The exterior body is not particularly limited, and for example, a laminate film can be used. For example, in the case of a laminated laminate type secondary battery, a laminated film such as polypropylene or polyethylene coated with aluminum or silica can be used.

  In the case of a secondary battery using a laminate film as an exterior body, the distortion of the electrode laminate becomes very large when gas is generated, compared to a secondary battery using a metal can as the exterior body. This is because the laminate film is more easily deformed by the internal pressure of the secondary battery than the metal can. Furthermore, when sealing a secondary battery using a laminate film as an exterior body, the internal pressure of the battery is usually lower than the atmospheric pressure, so there is no extra space inside, and if gas is generated, it is immediately It tends to lead to battery volume change and electrode stack deformation. However, the secondary battery according to the present embodiment can overcome such problems by using the electrolytic solution containing the compound of the present embodiment.

[6] Secondary Battery The structure of the secondary battery according to the present embodiment is not particularly limited by the present invention. For example, an electrode laminate in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are arranged to face each other and an electrolytic solution are provided. The structure included in the exterior body can be given. The shape of the secondary battery is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a cylindrical shape, a flat wound rectangular shape, a laminated rectangular shape, a coin shape, a flat wound laminated shape, and a laminated laminated shape.

  Hereinafter, a laminated laminate type secondary battery will be described as an example. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a structure of an electrode laminate included in a laminate-type secondary battery. The electrode laminate is formed by alternately stacking a plurality of positive electrodes c and a plurality of negative electrodes a with a separator b interposed therebetween. The positive electrode current collector e of each positive electrode c is welded to and electrically connected to each other at an end portion not covered with the positive electrode active material, and a positive electrode terminal f is welded to the welded portion. The negative electrode current collector d of each negative electrode a is welded and electrically connected to each other at an end portion not covered with the negative electrode active material, and a negative electrode terminal g is welded to the welded portion.

  Since the electrode laminate having such a planar laminate structure does not have a small R portion (region close to the winding core of the wound structure), the electrode laminate is associated with charge / discharge as compared with the electrode laminate having the wound structure. There is an advantage that it is not easily influenced by the volume change of the electrode. However, in an electrode laminate having a planar laminated structure, when gas is generated between the electrodes, the generated gas tends to stay between the electrodes. This is because, in the case of an electrode laminate having a wound structure, the distance between the electrodes is difficult to spread because tension is applied to the electrodes, whereas in the case of an electrode laminate having a laminated structure, It is because it is easy to spread. In particular, when the exterior body is an aluminum laminate film, this problem appears remarkably. In the secondary battery of this embodiment, such a problem can be solved by using the electrolytic solution containing the compound of this embodiment, and a laminated laminate type lithium ion secondary battery using a high energy type negative electrode. Even a battery can be driven for a long life.
