Abstract

A secondary battery is provided and including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolytic solution, where the negative electrode is metal lithium, and the electrolytic solution contains a sulfonyl group-containing lithium salt; a glyme-based solvent; and a specific additive.

Claims (31)

1 . A secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolytic solution,

wherein the negative electrode is a metal lithium electrode, and

the electrolytic solution comprises:

a sulfonyl group-containing lithium salt;

a glyme-based solvent; and

one or more additives selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by a formula (I), a formula (II), a formula (III), a formula (IV), and a formula (V) and a lithium bis(oxalate) borate:

in the formula (I), R 11 and R 12 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms;

in the formula (II), R 21 , R 22 , R 23 , and R 24 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms;

in the formula (III), m is an integer of 1 or more and 10 or less;

in the formula (IV), R 41 , R 42 , R 43 , and R 44 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; and X 1 and X 2 are each independently an oxygen atom or a methylene group; and

LiRh  (V)

in the formula (V), Rh is a halogen atom,

wherein the electrolytic solution includes the glyme-based solvent at 50% by weight or more with respect to a total amount of the electrolytic solution, and

wherein the electrolytic solution includes another solvent at 5% by weight or less with respect to a total amount of the electrolytic solution.

2 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes the additive at 0.1 w/v % or more and 20 w/v % or less.

3 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the sulfonyl group-containing lithium salt is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of a sulfonylimide-based lithium salt represented by a formula (S1) and a lithium sulfonate salt represented by a formula (S2):

in the formula (S1), R 1 and R 2 are each independently a halogen atom or a halogen atom-containing hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; and

in the formula (S2), R 3 is a halogen atom or a halogen atom-containing hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

4 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution contains the sulfonyl group-containing lithium salt at 0.1 mol/L or more and 10 mol/L or less.

5 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the glyme-based solvent is a linear ether represented by a formula (G):

in the formula (G), R′ and R″ are each independently a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; and n is an integer of 1 or more and 10 or less.

6 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes the compound represented by the formula (I) alone as the additive at 1.5 w/v % or more and 15 w/v % or less.

7 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes the compound represented by the general formula (II) alone as the additive at 0.1 w/v % or more and 20 w/v % or less.

8 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes the compound represented by the formula (III) alone as the additive at 1.5 w/v % or more and 15 w/v % or less.

9 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes the lithium bis(oxalate) borate alone as the additive at 0.1 w/v % or more and 20 w/v % or less.

10 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes the compound represented by the formula (V) alone as the additive at 0.1 w/v % or more and 20 w/v % or less.

11 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary battery is a lithium ion secondary battery.

12 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode and the negative electrode are electrodes capable of occluding and releasing lithium ions.

13 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the additive is the compound represented by the formula (V), and wherein the compound is LiCl or LiF.

14 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes the additive at 0.1 w/v % or more and 10 w/v % or less.
