- an electrode protection additive such as vinylene carbonate.
- LiPF 6 which is generally contained in the non-aqueous electrolyte solution, reacts with a trace amount of water in the non-aqueous electrolyte solution to generate HF, and can effectively form LiF which is a component of the negative electrode SEI.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a non-aqueous secondary battery that operates on a thick film electrode with a highly ionic conductive electrolyte.
- a method for enhancing SEI by combining a plurality of electrode protection additives has been reported.
- Patent Document 2 reports that a specific organolithium salt enhances SEI and suppresses decomposition of a highly ionic conductive electrolytic solution.
- a non-aqueous electrolyte solution contains a cyclic acid anhydride such as acetonitrile, an inorganic lithium salt, and succinic anhydride to delay gas generation from a non-aqueous secondary battery and strengthen the negative electrode SEI. , It is described that good battery characteristics are obtained.

- Patent Document 5 describes that the combination of an ethylene sulfate derivative and a vinylene carbonate derivative suppresses decomposition or composition change of a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, and improves the discharge capacity at low temperature and the storage capacity at high temperature.
- Patent Document 6 describes a technique for adding trialkoxyvinylsilane to a non-aqueous electrolyte solution for the purpose of providing a non-aqueous secondary battery excellent in reducing internal resistance and suppressing battery swelling.
- a silane-modified polyolefin is contained inside the separator, and when the separator comes into contact with a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, the silane cross-linking reaction of the silane-modified polyolefin proceeds, and a silane cross-linked portion is constructed in the separator.
- Silane cross-linked separators that have both low temperature shutdown function and high temperature fracture resistance have been reported.
- the silane cross-linking reaction proceeds using hydrogen fluoride (HF) generated by hydrolysis of LiPF 6 contained in the non-aqueous electrolytic solution as a catalyst.
- HF hydrogen fluoride
- Patent Document 8 a silane crosslinked separator containing a trace amount of metal is used to trap an excess amount of HF that catalyzes an open bond reaction at a silane crosslinked site, and a silane crosslinked separator with improved long-term cycle characteristics of a power storage device. It has been reported.
- Electrodeposition a phenomenon in which lithium metal is deposited on the surface of the negative electrode active material (called “electrodeposition”) was observed, and good rapid charging performance could not be obtained.

本実施形態でいう「非水系溶媒」とは、非水系電解液中から、リチウム塩及び各種添加剤を除いた要素をいう。本実施形態の非水系溶媒としては、アセトニトリルを含有する。非水系溶媒がアセトニトリルを含有することにより、非水系電解液のイオン伝導性が向上することから、電池内におけるリチウムイオンの拡散性を高めることができる。そのため、特に正極活物質層を厚くして正極活物質の充填量を高めた正極においても、高負荷での放電時にはリチウムイオンが到達し難い集電体近傍の領域にまで、リチウムイオンが良好に拡散できるようになる。よって、高負荷放電時にも十分な容量を引き出すことが可能となり、負荷特性に優れた非水系二次電池を得ることができる。

本実施形態に係る非水系二次電池は、初回充電のときに非水系電解液の一部が分解し、負極表面にSEIを形成することにより安定化する。このSEIをより効果的に強化するため、酸無水物を添加することができる。非水系溶媒としてアセトニトリルを含む場合には、温度上昇に伴いSEIの強度が低下する傾向にあるが、酸無水物の添加によってSEIの強化が促進される。よって、このような酸無水物を用いることにより、効果的に熱履歴による経時的な内部抵抗の増加を抑制することができる。

第二層は、例えば、耐熱性樹脂及び/又は熱可塑性樹脂を含む塗工液を基材に塗工することにより基材上に配置されることができる。耐熱性樹脂及び/又は熱可塑性樹脂を乳化重合によって合成し、得られたエマルジョンをそのまま塗工液として使用してもよい。塗工液は、水、水と水溶性有機媒体(例えば、メタノール又はエタノール)の混合溶媒等の貧溶媒を含むことが好ましい。
セパレータ製造プロセスにおいて、原料を押出機へ投入する際に、原料へ一定濃度のステアリン酸カルシウムを混合することで、セパレータ中にカルシウムの島構造を形成することができる。しかしながら、分子量が大きく異なる原料を使用した場合は、原料間の溶解粘度差がある。また、樹脂原料の分子量が数万から数百万g/molなのに対して、ステアリン酸カルシムは284g/molであるため、ステアリン酸カルシウムを樹脂原料へ均一分散させることが熱力学的に難しい。さらに、シラン変性ポリオレフィンを含む溶融混合の場合では、ヘテロ官能基を有するユニットがあるため、分散はさらに難しい。このような複雑な混合樹脂では、高い回転数で押出機によるせん断攪拌を行うことで、ステアリン酸カルシウムの分散の均一性が改善される一方、細かく島構造が隣接して分散されるため、非水系電解液中のFアニオンを必要以上に消費するという問題点がある。また、高い回転数での押出機によるせん断攪拌は、ポリオレフィンの分子量劣化を引き起こすため、セパレータの機械的強度発現および開孔性を大幅に損なう。

上述のようにして得られたコイン型非水系二次電池(P1/N1)(実施例1~10、及び比較例1~17)について、まず、下記(3-1)の手順に従って初回充電処理、及び初回充放電容量測定を行った。次に(3-2)の手順に従って、それぞれのコイン型非水系二次電池を評価した。なお、充放電はアスカ電子(株)製の充放電装置ACD-M01A(商品名)、及びヤマト科学(株)製のプログラム恒温槽IN804(商品名)を用いて行った。
コイン型非水系二次電池(P1/N1)の周囲温度を25℃に設定し、0.1Cに相当する定電流で充電して満充電状態に到達した後、定電圧で1.5時間充電を行った。その後、0.3Cに相当する定電流で所定の電圧まで電池を放電した。このときの放電容量を充電容量で割ることによって、初回効率を算出した。初回効率が80%未満となった電池については、所定の電池容量を満たしておらず、正しい評価結果を得ることが困難であるため、以降の評価試験を実施することができなかった。また、このときの放電容量を初期容量とした。同様の手順で、コイン型非水系二次電池(P2/N2)、小型非水系二次電池(P1/N1)、及び小型非水系二次電池(P2/N2)の初回充放電処理を実施した。
回復充電容量維持率の算出を以下のとおり行った。まず、初回充放電処理の後に0.2Cの定電流で4.2Vまで充電した。このときの充電電流容量を充電容量Aとした。0.5Cの定電流で放電した後、最大充電電流密度である15mA/cm2の定電流で4.2Vまで充電した。その後、0.5Cの定電流で放電し、再び0.2Cの定電流で4.2Vまで充電した。このときの充電電流容量を充電容量Cとした。充電容量Aを100%としたときの充電容量Cを回復充電容量維持率とした。

急速充電容量維持率=(充電容量B/充電容量A)×100[%]
上記(3-2-1)に記載の方法で急速充電試験を行った各種非水系二次電池(P1/N1)について、以下の式に基づき、回復充電容量維持率を算出した。その結果を表2-1及び表2-2に示す。
回復充電容量維持率=(充電容量C/充電容量A)×100[%]
ここでは、コイン型非水系二次電池(P1/N1)の試験結果について解釈を述べる。
急速充電容量維持率は、値が大きいほど、短時間に多く充電できる指標である。急速充電容量維持率は、40%以上であることが好ましく、45%以上であることがより好ましく、50%以上であることが更に好ましい。
ここでは、小型非水系二次電池(P1/N1)の試験結果について解釈を述べる。

上記(3-2-4)に記載の方法で急速充電試験を行った各種非水系二次電池(p2/N2)について、上記(3-2-2)に記載の式に基づき、急速充電容量維持率を算出した。その際に、図3を参考にして充電曲線を作成し、その3.9~4.2Vの電圧範囲において電圧プラトーの有無を観察した。その結果を表3-1及び3-2に示す。
上記(3-2-5)に記載の方法で急速充電試験を行った各種非水系二次電池(P2/N2)について、上記(3-2-3)に記載の式に基づき、回復充電容量維持率を算出した。その結果を表3-1及び3-2に示す。
ここでは、コイン型非水系二次電池(P2/N2)の試験結果について解釈を述べる。コイン型非水系二次電池(P2/N2)については、急速充電容量維持率は、20%以上であることが好ましく、25%以上であることがより好ましく、30%以上であることが更に好ましい。

上記(3-1)に記載の方法で初回充放電処理を行った小型非水系二次電池(P2/N2)について、周囲温度を50℃に設定した。先ず、1.5Cに相当する9mAの定電流で電池を充電して4.2Vに到達した後、4.2Vの定電圧で電流が0.05Cに相当する0.3mAに減衰するまで充電を行った。その後、9mAの定電流で3.0Vまで電池を放電した。充電と放電とを各々1回ずつ行うこの工程を1サイクルとし、100サイクルの充放電を行った。1サイクル目の放電容量を100%としたときの100サイクル目の放電容量を50℃サイクル試験の容量維持率とした。
ここでは、表3-3に示される各試験結果の解釈について述べる。
50℃サイクル試験の容量維持率は、1サイクル目の放電容量に対する100サイクル目の放電容量の割合を示すが、値が大きいほど、高温環境下で充放電を繰り返した際の電池容量の劣化が少ない。容量維持率は、85%以上が好ましく、86%以上がより好ましく、88%以上であることが更に好ましい。

CR2032タイプの電池ケース(SUS304/Alクラッド)にポリプロピレン製ガスケットをセットし、その中央に上述のようにして得られた正極(P3)を直径15.958mmの円盤状に打ち抜いたものを、正極活物質層を上向きにしてセットした。その上からガラス繊維濾紙(アドバンテック社製、GA-100)を直径16.156mmの円盤状に打ち抜いたものをセットして、非水系電解液(S45~S47)を150μL注入した後、上述のようにして得られた負極(N3)を直径16.156mmの円盤状に打ち抜いたものを、負極活物質層を下向きにしてセットした。更に電池ケース内にスペーサーとスプリングをセットした後に電池キャップをはめ込み、カシメ機でかしめた。溢れた非水系電解液はウエスで拭き取った。25℃で12時間保持し、積層体に非水系電解液を十分馴染ませてコイン型非水系二次電池(P3/N3)を得た。
上述のようにして得られたコイン型非水系二次電池(P3/N3)(実施例30~32)について、まず、下記(3-1)の手順に従って初回充電処理、及び初回充放電容量測定を行った。次に(3-2)の手順に従って、それぞれのコイン型非水系二次電池(P3/N3)を評価した。なお、充放電はアスカ電子(株)製の充放電装置ACD-M01A(商品名)、及びヤマト科学(株)製のプログラム恒温槽IN804(商品名)を用いて行った。
コイン型非水系二次電池(P3/N3)の周囲温度を25℃に設定し、0.1Cに相当する定電流で充電して満充電状態に到達した後、定電圧で1.5時間充電を行った。その後、0.3Cに相当する定電流で所定の電圧まで電池を放電した。このときの放電容量を充電電流容量で割ることによって、初回効率を算出した。また、このときの放電容量を初期容量とした。初回効率が80%未満となった電池については、所定の電池容量を満たしておらず、正しい評価結果を得ることが困難であるため、以降の評価試験を実施することができなかった。
上記(3-1)に記載の方法で初回充放電処理を行ったコイン型非水系二次電池(P3/N3)について、周囲温度を25℃に設定し、0.2Cに相当する0.6mAの定電流で4.2Vまで充電した。このときの充電電流容量を充電容量Aとした。その後、0.5Cに相当する1.5mAの電流値で放電して2.0Vまで到達した後、2.0Vの定電圧で電流値が0.1Cに相当する0.3mAに減衰するまで放電した。その後、上記と同様の充放電を5サイクル行った。
急速充電容量維持率=(充電容量B/充電容量A)×100[%]
回復充電容量維持率=(充電容量C/充電容量A)×100[%]
ここでは、コイン型非水系二次電池(P3/N3)の試験結果について解釈を述べる。
急速充電容量維持率は、値が大きいほど、短時間に多く充電できる指標である。急速充電容量維持率は、40%以上であることが好ましく、43%以上であることがより好ましく、45%以上であることが更に好ましい。
上記(3-1)に記載の方法で初回充放電処理を行ったコイン型非水系二次電池(P3/N3)について、周囲温度を50℃に設定した。まず、1.5Cに相当する4.5mAの定電流で充電して4.2Vに到達した後、4.2Vの定電圧で電流が0.05Cに相当する0.15mAに減衰するまで充電を行った。その後、4.5mAの定電流で2.5Vまで放電した。充電と放電とを各々1回ずつ行うこの工程を1サイクルとし、100サイクルの充放電を行った。1サイクル目の放電容量を100%としたときの100サイクル目の放電容量を50℃サイクル試験の容量維持率とした。
DCIR=(放電開始から10秒後の電圧-放電直前の電圧)/電流[Ω]
DCIR増加率=100サイクル目のDCIR/1サイクル目のDCIR×100[%]
ここでは、表5-2に示される各試験結果の解釈について述べる。
50℃サイクル試験の容量維持率は、1サイクル目の放電容量に対する100サイクル目の放電容量の割合を示すが、値が大きいほど、高温環境下で充放電を繰り返した際の電池容量の劣化が少ない。容量維持率は、88%以上が好ましく、89%以上がより好ましく、90%以上であることが更に好ましい。DCIR(Direct Current Internal Resistanceの略称)は、電池が劣化してくると徐々に増加していき、電池容量の低下に繋がる。負極のSEIを強化しすぎると、DCIRが増加して、放電開始直後の電圧低下が大きく、所定の電池容量を取り出すことができない。そのため、1サイクル目のDCIRは、41Ω以下が好ましく、40.5Ω以下がより好ましく、40Ω以下が更に好ましい。DCIR増加率は、120%以下が好ましく、115%以下がより好ましく、111%以下が更に好ましい。
