Non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery
View Patent ↗A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising an electrolyte dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent. The negative electrode uses a low crystalline carbon coated graphite in which at least part of the surface of graphite is coated with a low crystalline carbon material having lower crystallinity than that of graphite as a negative electrode active material, and the non-aqueous electrolyte comprises a lithium salt which has oxalate complex as an anion, in addition to a mixed solvent of propylene carbonate and chain carbonate as a non-aqueous solvent.
1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising an electrolyte dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent,
said negative electrode using a low crystalline carbon coated graphite wherein at least part of the surface of graphite is coated with a low crystalline carbon material having lower crystallinity than that of graphite as a negative electrode active material, and
said non-aqueous electrolyte comprising a mixed solvent of propylene carbonate and chain carbonate as a non-aqueous solvent, and a lithium salt which has oxalate complex as an anion;
wherein said lithium salt which has oxalate complex as the anion is at least one lithium salt selected from a group of difluoro(oxalate) lithium borate and tetrafluoro(oxalate) lithium phosphate.
2. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of vinylene carbonate and vinyl ethylene carbonate is admixed to the non-aqueous solvent of the non-aqueous electrolyte.
3. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein vinylene carbonate is admixed to the non-aqueous solvent of the non-aqueous electrolyte.
4. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein said positive electrode active material of the positive electrode is a lithium-transition metal composite oxide containing Ni, Co and Mn.
5. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode active material of the positive electrode is Li(Ni 0.4 Co 0.3 Mn 0.3 ) 0.995 Zr 0.05 O 2 .
