Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery
View Patent ↗A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell that has excellent high-temperature cycle characteristics and that is highly safe enough to prevent overcharge is provided. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell has a positive electrode for reversibly intercalating-deintercalating lithium ions, a negative electrode for reversibly intercalating-deintercalating lithium ions, and a non-aqueous electrolyte having a non-aqueous solvent and an electrolyte salt. The non-aqueous solvent includes a cycloalkylbenzene derivative and an alkylbenzene derivative having a quaternary carbon directly bonded to a benzene ring and not having a cycloalkyl group directly bonded to the benzene ring.
1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell comprising:
a positive electrode for reversibly intercalating-deintercalating lithium ions;
a negative electrode for reversibly intercalating-deintercalating lithium ions; and
a non-aqueous electrolyte having a non-aqueous solvent and an electrolyte salt, wherein,
the non-aqueous solvent includes a cycloalkylbenzene derivative, tert-amylbenzene, and an unsaturated cyclic carbonate derivative.
2. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the unsaturated cyclic carbonate derivative is vinylene carbonate contained in the non-aqueous solvent at a ratio of 0.5 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the non-aqueous solvent.
3. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein: the cycloalkylbenzene derivative is contained in the non-aqueous solvent at a ratio of 0.5 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the non-aqueous solvent; and
the tert-amylbenzene is contained in the non-aqueous solvent at a ratio of 0.5 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the non-aqueous solvent.
4. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 2 , wherein:
the cycloalkylbenzene derivative is contained in the non-aqueous solvent at a ratio of 0.5 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the non-aqueous solvent; and
the tert-amylbenzene is contained in the non-aqueous solvent at a ratio of 0.5 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the non-aqueous solvent.
