Abstract

An electrolytic solution capable of suppressing the battery swollenness and improving the battery characteristics such as the charge and discharge efficiency and a battery using it are provided. A cathode ( 21 ) and an anode ( 22 ) are layered with an electrolyte layer ( 24 ) in between. The electrolyte layer ( 24 ) is gelatinous, containing the electrolytic solution and a polymer compound. The electrolytic solution contains a compound having proton scavenging capacity such as hexamethylenetetramine and hexaethylenetetramine. Thereby, a free acid such as hydrofluoric acid is scavenged, and decomposition reaction of the electrolytic solution or the like is prevented.

Claims (19)

1. A battery comprising:

a cathode;

an anode; and

an electrolytic solution; and

a film package member containing the cathode, the anode and the electrolytic solution,

wherein,

the electrolytic solution contains 4-fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one and a nitrogen compound having an unshared electron,

the nitrogen compound includes at least one selected from the group consisting of hexamethylenetetramine, a cyclic compound shown in Chemical formula 5, and a cyclic compound shown in Chemical formula 6, Chemical formulae 5-6 being:

where R1 represents hydrogen or a substituent and p represents an integer number of 2 or more, and

where R2 and R3 represent hydrogen or a substituent and q represents an integer number of 2 or more, and

the concentration of the nitrogen compound is within the range: 4-fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one (mol/kg)/number of unshared electron pairs in nitrogen compound×0.4≦concentration of nitrogen compound (mol/kg)≦concentration of 4-fluoro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one (mol/kg)/number of unshared electron pairs in nitrogen compound×10.

2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the anode contains a carbon material.

3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cathode, the anode, and the electrolytic solution are contained in a film package member.

4. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the compound having proton scavenging capacity is hexamethylenetetramine.

5. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the compound having proton scavenging capacity is represented by Chemical formula 4:

(CmF2m+1SO2)(CnF2n+1SO2)NLi, where each of m and n represent a positive integer number.

6. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the compound having proton scavenging capacity is represented by Chemical formula 5.

7. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the compound having proton scavenging capacity is represented by Chemical formula 6.

8. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cathode comprises a compound expressed by the general formulas Li z MIO 2 or Li y MIIPO 4 where MI and MII each represent at least one transition metal, 0.05≦x≦1.10, and 0.05≦y≦1.10.
