本発明の二次電池用非水電解液(以下、単に「非水電解液」という。)は、電解質塩としてリチウム塩を含有する非水電解液である。
[リチウム塩]
本発明の非水電解液は、下式(a1)で表されるリチウム塩(a1)と無機リチウム塩(a2)と溶媒とを含有する。これらリチウム塩は、本発明の非水電解液中で解離してリチウムイオンを供給する。
R1-CHF-SO2-N(Li)-SO2-CHF-R2 (a1)
ただし、式(a1)中のR1およびR2は、互いに独立にエーテル性酸素原子を含んでいてもよい炭素数1~5の含フッ素アルキル基(以下、「含フッ素アルキル基(α)」という。)またはフッ素原子である。
以下、式(a1)で表されるリチウム塩をリチウム塩(a1)と記す。また、式(a1)以外の式で表されるリチウム塩についても同様に記す。
リチウム塩(a1)におけるR1は、含フッ素アルキル基(α)またはフッ素原子であり、含フッ素アルキル基(α)が好ましい。
R1が含フッ素アルキル基(α)である場合、その炭素数は1~5である。R1の含フッ素アルキル基(α)の炭素数が1~5であれば、電池過熱時における正極上での電解液の分解発熱を抑制する効果を発現するのに充分なモル濃度で添加した場合でも伝導度等その他の特性に与える影響が少ない。R1の含フッ素アルキル基(α)の炭素数は、伝導度を高く維持しやすい点から、1~3が好ましく、1が特に好ましい。
また、R1が含フッ素アルキル基(α)である場合の該含フッ素アルキル基(α)は、熱暴走を抑制する効果が高い点から、アルキル基の水素原子の全てがフッ素原子に置換されていることが好ましい。
R2は、前記R1と同じ、含フッ素アルキル基(α)またはフッ素原子であり、好ましい態様も同じである。
R1とR2は、同じであってもよく、異なっていてもよい。
無機リチウム塩であるリチウム塩(a2)としては、LiPF6、LiBF4、LiClO4、LiAsF6、LiB(C6H5)4、CH3SO3Li等が挙げられる。リチウム塩(a2)としては、LiPF6、LiBF4およびLiClO4が好ましい。これらのリチウム塩は、リチウムイオン二次電池用のリチウム塩として知られる化合物である。
本発明の非水電解液は、伝導度が高い電解液が得られやすい点から、LiPF6、LiBF4およびLiClO4からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種のリチウム塩をリチウム塩(a2)として含むことが好ましく、LiPF6を含むことがより好ましい。また、本発明の非水電解液は、リチウム塩(a2)として、LiPF6、LiBF4およびLiClO4からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種のみを含むことが好ましく、リチウム塩(a2)としてLiPF6のみを含むことが特に好ましい。
また、必要に応じて非水電解液にリチウム塩(a1)および無機リチウム塩(a2)以外のリチウム塩(a3)を含有させてもよい。本発明の非水電解液がリチウム塩(a3)を含有する場合には、リチウム塩(a3)の含有量は、非水電解液に含有される全リチウム塩において5~40mol%であることが好ましい。
従来、前述の非水電解液(1)のようなLiPF6等の無機リチウム塩を用いる二次電池では、過度に充電された場合等に、正極においてカーボネート系溶媒等の溶媒が酸化分解されることで、急激な発熱が起こって熱暴走に至ることがあった。
これに対し、本発明者等は、電解質塩であるリチウム塩としてリチウム塩(a1)を用いることで、前記熱暴走を抑制できることを見い出した。本発明の非水電解液を有する二次電池では、電解液中に含まれるリチウム塩(a1)が解離することで生じるビススルホニルイミドアニオンが、正極上に保護膜を形成する。該保護膜により、カーボネート系溶媒等の溶媒が正極に接触することが防がれ、それら溶媒が正極上で酸化されることが抑制されるため、二次電池の熱暴走が抑制されると考えられる。
さらに、本発明者は、前記保護膜による熱暴走の抑制効果は、少量のリチウム塩(a1)により達成されることも見い出した。そのため、本発明の非水電解液は、高い伝導度を有するLiPF6等のリチウム塩を主成分として使用することができ、高い伝導度も得られる。
特に二次電池の負極にグラファイト(黒鉛)を用いた場合、Li[N(SO2C2F5)2]等のパーフルオロアルキル基を有するビススルホニルイミドリチウム塩(以下、「リチウム塩(b1)」という。)や、環状構造の下記リチウム塩(b2)(ただし、kは1~5の整数を示す。)は、負極上で還元分解されやすい。これに対し、本発明の非水電解液のリチウム塩(a1)は、含フッ素アルキル基における硫黄原子と結合する各炭素原子に水素原子が結合しているため、リチウム塩(b1)およびリチウム塩(b2)に比べて耐還元性に優れている。そのため、黒鉛を用いた負極であっても還元分解され難く、熱暴走を抑制する効果が安定して発揮される。したがって、本発明の非水電解液は、黒鉛を用いた負極を有する二次電池に適用することが特に好ましい。
本発明の非水電解液は、水を実質的に含まない溶媒と前記リチウム塩を含む電解液である。すなわち、本発明の非水電解液中の溶媒が仮に水を含んでいたとしても、その水分量は、本発明の非水電解液を用いた二次電池の性能劣化が見られない程度の量である。
本発明の非水電解液中に含まれる水分量は、電解液の総質量に対して0~500質量ppmであることが好ましく、0~100質量ppmであることがより好ましく、0~50質量ppmであることが特に好ましい。

また、カーボネート系溶媒としては、後述の特性改善助剤として作用するカーボネート系溶媒も使用できる。このような作用を有するカーボネート系溶媒としては、例えばフルオロエチレンカーボネート、トリフルオロプロピレンカーボネート、フェニルエチレンカーボネート、エリスリタンカーボネート、スピロ-ビス-ジメチレンカーボネート等が挙げられる。これらの特性改善助剤として作用するカーボネート系溶媒は、他のカーボネート系溶媒と併用することが好ましい。
カーボネート系溶媒として、鎖状カーボネートと環状カーボネートとを併用する場合、鎖状カーボネート(体積V1)と環状カーボネート(体積V2)の体積比(V1:V2)は、1:10~10:1であることが好ましい。
環状カーボネートの含有量がこの範囲内であれば、混合溶媒の融点が適切な範囲となりリチウム塩を溶解した電解液溶液が安定になる。一方、鎖状カーボネートの含有量がこの範囲であれば、リチウム塩溶解度が適切な範囲になりリチウム塩を溶解した電解液溶液が安定になる。

リチウムイオンを吸蔵・放出できる金属、該金属を含む金属化合物、およびリチウム合金は、一般に黒鉛に代表される炭素質材料と比較して、単位質量当たりの容量が大きいので、より高エネルギー密度が求められる二次電池に好適である。
正極活物質としては、公知のリチウムイオン二次電池用正極活物質を用いることができ、たとえば、リチウムコバルト酸化物、リチウムニッケル酸化物、リチウムマンガン酸化物等のリチウム含有遷移金属酸化物、1種類以上の遷移金属を用いたリチウム含有遷移金属複合酸化物、遷移金属酸化物、遷移金属硫化物、金属酸化物、オリビン型金属リチウム塩等が挙げられる。
