Abstract

A non-aqueous electrolyte solution that contains an organic solvent, and a lithium salt and an electrolyte, that is useful for the preparation of a secondary battery that is equipped with a negative electrode and a positive electrode, each of which is capable of storing and releasing lithium, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution contains partially hydrogenated terphenyl that is a mixture of two or more compounds of which one is diphenylcyclohexane that is present in an amount ranging from 10 to 65 wt % of the partially hydrogenated terphenyl and the partially hydrogenated terphenyl has a solubility of not less than 0.5 wt % in the electrolyte solution at room temperature.

Claims (11)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution containing an organic solvent, and a lithium salt as an electrolyte, that is useful for the preparation of a secondary battery that is equipped with a negative electrode and a positive electrode, each of which is capable of storing and releasing lithium, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution contains partially hydrogenated terphenyl and is a mixture of two or more compounds of which one is diphenyleyclohexane that is present in an amount ranging from 10 to 65 wt % of the partially hydrogenated terphenyl.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the content of terphenyl in the partially hydrogenated terphenyl is not more than 6 wt %.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein one of the compounds of said mixture of two or more compounds is cyclohexylbiphenyl which is present in the partially hydrogenated terphenyl in an amount ranging from 3 to 35 wt %.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the terphenyl is m-terphenyl.

5. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution containing an organic solvent, and a lithium salt as an electrolyte, that is useful for the preparation of a secondary battery that is equipped with a negative electrode and a positive electrode, each of which is capable of storing and releasing lithium, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution contains partially hydrogenated m-terphenyl.

6. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 5 , wherein the content of m-terphenyl in the partially hydrogenated m-terphenyl is not more than 6 wt %.

7. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the partial hydrogenation ratio of the partially hydrogenated terphenyl ranges from 30 to 70%.

8. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the partially hydrogenated terphenyl ranges from 0.01 to 10 wt % based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

9. A non-aqueous electrolytesolution containing an organic solvent, and a lithium salt as an electrolyte, that is useful for the preparation of a secondary battery that is equipped with a negative electrode and a positive electrode, each of which is capable of storing and releasing lithium, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution contains diphenylcyclohexane at a content ranging from 0.01 to 6.5 wt % based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

10. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution contains a cyclic carbonic acid ester represented by formula (I) at a content ranging from 0.1 to 10 wt % based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution:

wherein R 1 and R 2 represent independently a hydrogen atom or methyl.
