Abstract

A secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolytic solution including a carbonic acid ester compound.

Claims (39)

1 . A secondary battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode; and

an electrolytic solution including a carbonic acid ester compound represented by Formula (1),

where

each of R3, R4, R5, and R6 is one of a hydrogen group, an alkyl group having carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, or a halogen group, and

each of m and n is 2 or 3,

wherein R1 is an alkoxy group having a carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, and

wherein R2 is one of an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, a vinyl group, a vinyloxy group, or a halogen group.

2 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the alkyl group of R2 has the carbon number of 1 to 3, and wherein the alkoxy group of R1 has the carbon number of 1 to 3.

3 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein each of m and n is 2.

4 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein each of R3, R4, R5, and R6 is one of the hydrogen group or the alkyl group.

5 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the carbonic acid ester compound in the electrolytic solution is 3 weight percent or less.

6 . The secondary battery according to claim 5 , wherein the content of the carbonic acid ester compound in the electrolytic solution is 0.001 weight percent to 3 weight percent.

7 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution further includes a cyclic carbonic acid ester, a chain carbonic acid ester, and a chain carboxylic acid ester.

8 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary battery comprises a lithium-ion secondary battery.

9 . An electrolytic solution for a secondary battery, the electrolytic solution comprising a carbonic acid ester compound represented by Formula (1),

where

each of R3, R4, R5, and R6 is one of a hydrogen group, an alkyl group having carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, or a halogen group, and

each of m and n is 2 or 3,

wherein R1 is an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, and wherein R2 is one of an alkoxy group having a carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, a vinyl group, a vinyloxy group, or a halogen group.

10 . The electrolytic solution according to claim 9 , wherein R2 is the alkoxy group having the carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, or the halogen group.

11 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein R2 is the alkyl group having the carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, or the halogen group.

12 . A secondary battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode; and

an electrolytic solution including a carbonic acid ester compound represented by Formula (1),

where

each of R3, R4, R5, and R6 is one of a hydrogen group, an alkyl group having carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, or a halogen group, and

each of m and n is 2 or 3,

wherein R1 is an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, and

wherein R2 is one of an alkoxy group having a carbon number of 1 or greater and 4 or less, a vinyl group, a vinyloxy group, or a halogen group.

13 . The secondary battery according to claim 12 , wherein the alkyl group of R1 has the carbon number of 1 to 3, and wherein the alkoxy group of R2 has the carbon number of 1 to 3.

14 . The secondary battery according to claim 12 , wherein each of m and n is 2.

15 . The secondary battery according to claim 12 , wherein each of R3, R4, R5, and R6 is one of the hydrogen group or the alkyl group.

16 . The secondary battery according to claim 12 , wherein a content of the carbonic acid ester compound in the electrolytic solution is 3 weight percent or less.

17 . The secondary battery according to claim 16 , wherein the content of the carbonic acid ester compound in the electrolytic solution is 0.001 weight percent to 3 weight percent.

18 . The secondary battery according to claim 12 , wherein the electrolytic solution further includes a cyclic carbonic acid ester, a chain carbonic acid ester, and a chain carboxylic acid ester.

19 . The secondary battery according to claim 12 , wherein the secondary battery comprises a lithium-ion secondary battery.
