Abstract

A non-aqueous solvent is provided that includes ethylene carbonate in a range from 5% or more to less than 60%, propylene carbonate of 40% or less, and diethyl carbonate of 40% or more, as mass ratios. The non-aqueous electrolyte compositions are formed by further adding an electrolytic salt and, if necessary, unsaturated cyclic carbonic ester and a high molecular compound into the non-aqueous solvent. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is formed by using the non-aqueous electrolyte compositions.

Claims (20)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte composition comprising:

an electrolytic salt;

a non-aqueous solvent containing ethylene carbonate having a mass ratio ranging from 5% or more to less than 60%, propylene carbonate having a mass ratio of greater than 0% and less than 40%, and diethyl carbonate having a mass ratio of 40% to 70% as a mass ratio, respectively;

an unsaturated cyclic carbonic ester, wherein the unsaturated cyclic carbonic ester is vinylethylene carbonate; and

a high molecular compound wherein said high molecular compound is at least one kind selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl formal, polyacrylic acid ester, and polyvinylidene fluoride,

wherein the vinylethylene carbonate included in the non-aqueous solvent is in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 2% as a mass ratio, and

wherein the mass ratio of the ethylene carbonate, the propylene carbonate, the diethyl carbonate, and vinylethylene carbonate total 100% of the mass of the non-aqueous solvent.

2. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:

a cathode containing cathode active material and an anode containing anode active material, each active material capable of doping and dedoping lithium ions;

a non-aqueous electrolyte composition;

a separator; and

a sheathing member enclosing the cathode, the anode, the non-aqueous electrolyte compositions, and the separator,

wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte composition includes:

an electrolytic salt;

a non-aqueous solvent including ethylene carbonate having a mass ratio ranging from 5% or more to less than 60%, propylene carbonate having a mass ratio of greater than 0% and less than 40%, and diethyl carbonate having a mass ratio of 40% to 70%;

an unsaturated cyclic carbonic ester wherein the unsaturated cyclic carbonic ester is vinylethylene carbonate, and wherein the unsaturated cyclic carbonic ester is included in the non-aqueous solvent in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 2% as a mass ratio; and

a high molecular compound wherein said high molecular compound is at least one kind selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl formal, polyacrylic acid ester, and polyvinylidene fluoride,

wherein the mass ratio of the ethylene carbonate, the propylene carbonate, the diethyl carbonate, and vinylethylene carbonate total 100% of the mass of the non-aqueous solvent.

3. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the sheathing member comprises a laminate film.

4. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the separator is coated with polyvinylidene fluoride.
